Chinese people like to do crazy thing. An excavator has found operates on the rooftop of a 12 story building. It has caused the surrounding city residents both surprise and concern.

The official Shanghai Disneyland is scheduled to open in 2016, but there is already a Disneyland knockoff in China today. Called the Wonderland, it is situated on the outskirts of Beijing (45 minutes drive), and it was supposed ‘the largest amusement park in Asia’.

Now, it’s a deadman wonderland that is waiting for Walt Disney to destroy. Feel free to take a video tour of the dilapidated fantasy park after the break.

Global companies really need to take care on choosing their brand names for the Chinese market. Because some mistranslation can become a joke and affects their marketing. In Chinese, Microsoft’s Bing search engine translates literally as defect, virus and disease. No wonder it was rebranded ‘Bi Ying’, which means ‘Responds without Fail’. Some phonetic translations work better than the original. The Chinese characters for Coca-Cola, pronounced as ‘Ke kou ke le’, means tasty and fun. With China’s market for consumer goods soaring companies rely on linguists in a bid to avoid embarrassment. Here are some of the translated and rebranded products on China’s shelves, check them out after the break.
The design of Smart Cover is brilliant, it can attract any metal objects with its magnets hidden beneath. But can it hang on the handle like what this lady is doing?
A week ago, China revealed a five year ‘space plan‘ with 17-page government document, stating lots of ambition goals, such as putting a man on the Moon, improve its communications, broadcasting and meteorological satellites, and some other abstract blusters. So, if China is going to speed up its development in the outer space, then that certainly means more orbital debris, space junk, and space waste will be produced.
