The bratty kid who will not eat his grandmother's cooking because it makes his "KOU GAN!!!" - as featured on the Tai Tai Le Granulated Chicken Bouillon - has finally been smacked into next week. Neighbors who wish to remain anonymous report that Ye Nainai finally got so fed up with the ungrateful little emperor that she gave him a whack so hard it could be heard in the neighborhood management office. "We don't condone violence against children here," said another local granny, "but that boy was unbearable."Upon landing, he will be joining the other horrible kid from the Dr. Bai Whitening Cream commercial, who sings that his spotty mother is unbearable to look at. He will also be receiving speech therapy that will teach him how to say "hao chi!" with proper Mandarin pronunciation.

Local resident Ms. Wang expressed disappointment yesterday after the purchase of a box of Orion "Choco Pies":
She plans to write to the company for an explanation.
"According to the commercial, Zhang
Dong-Jian should show up immediately in a pair of tight brown pants and take me for a bicycle ride. I know he's from Korea and everything, but if they couldn't get him even that Jerry guy from F4 would have been okay. But when I bought these, nothing."

Sun Microsystems, the well known computer software, hardware, and e-business solutions provider has decided to step into another niche of the Chinese market, Middle Autumn Festival's mooncakes. The
mooncake market in China yearly grosses at over $8 billion in sales.
That is to estimate, in China every person buys about 6 mooncakes at $1 a piece. People normally give them to each other as presents and eat them during the festive dinners and daily meals.
"To miss such an opportunity of capturing a market share and billions in profit would be a mistake," said Sun Microsystems spokesperson in Shanghai, Jeff Sunlight. Recent competitive involvements of IBM, SAP, as well as Chinese software companies have been eating Sun's lunch in e-business solutions in China.
"Intoduction of Suncakes™, will stabilize our profits in China and balance our losses in software market," added Sunlight.
Suncakes will come at reduced prices than their Chinese counterparts, due to the added marketing value.

If you're craving authentic Shanghai specialities, you can't go wrong with local joint Mài dāng láo. There are numerous eateries around the city, just look for the distinctive yellow characters on a red background.
To order, approach the counter and jab your finger vigorously at the menu. We recommend the 7RMB qīzi burger. The Hàpǐ Meal and chīkīn McNuggets are other specialities.
The waitress may ask you Do you want fries with that. You should reply yes (if you would like a container of salt with your meal) or no (you would not).
After your meal is freshly prepared, take it to an empty table and enjoy. It's considered proper manners to shout "wǒ jiù xǐhuan" as you leave.
Rumours suggest Mài dāng láo may even be opening a branch in the United States soon.

The traditional mid-Autumn festival gift of mooncakes has a new interpretation: this year, many people are sending e-mooncakes instead, via email and QQ Messenger.
Messages posted to the popular Baiban discussion forums appladed the innovation. "It's so much easier than sending real mooncakes" commented one poster, "and it's not as if anyone ever actually eats real mooncakes, we just re-gift them to someone else".
e-mooncake recipients should beware however, this week security experts found the first virus contained in an e-mooncake. Created by a hacker known as TastyCake99, the e-mooncake contains a variety of less than pleasant fillings.
