Beijing Escorts: China sentences fugitive smuggler Lai to life term

suziewong — Sun, 20 May 2012 09:24:46 +0000

BEIJING — The man once considered China’s most-wanted fugitive was sentenced to life in prison for smuggling and bribery in a lurid corruption case that reached into the highest echelons of the Communist Party and involved a decade-long extradition fight.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported that Lai Changxing was convicted and sentenced Friday morning by the Intermediate People’s Court in Xiamen, the port city which was his base. On top of the life sentence for smuggling and a concurrent 15-year sentence for bribery, the court ordered all of Lai’s personal property seized, Xinhua said.
…
In the heyday of his power, Lai lived a life of luxury in China complete with a bulletproof Mercedes Benz. He is alleged to have run a mansion in which he plied officials with liquor and prostitutes.
…
Also ensnared in the scandal was the wife of Jia Qinglin, the Fujian province party secretary until 1996 and then the party chief of Beijing and an ally of Chinese President Jiang Zemin. Politically connected Chinese said Jiang protected Jia, ordering investigators to curtail the probe.

BEIJING (AP) — China has accused the Dalai Lama of being deceitful after he reportedly alleged that Chinese agents trained Tibetan women to assassinate him by planting poison in their hair for him to touch during blessings. The Tibetan spiritual leader’s allegations were reported in the London-based Sunday Telegraph. The Chinese Foreign Ministry says the accusation is not worth refuting, but it added Monday that the Dalai Lama generally spreads false information. The nationalistic tabloid the Global Times has further scorned the allegations in a commentary, saying that if China had wanted to kill the Dalai Lama it could have done so any time without waiting until he was 76 years old.

Beijing Escorts: China airs documentary globally blaming Dalai Lama for self-immolations in …

suziewong — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:36:52 +0000

BEIJING — China has released a documentary accusing the Dalai Lama of orchestrating a wave of self-immolations by Tibetans, in its most elaborate attempt so far to shape international opinion about the protests against Chinese rule.
…
China is touchy about perceived challenges to its rule over Tibet since communist forces entered the region six decades ago. While Beijing has poured investment into the region to raise standards of living and win over Tibetans, it has often appeared to be losing a global public relations battle against the Dalai Lama and his high-profile supporters like the Hollywood actor Richard Gere.
…
The documentary attempts to discredit the immolations, portraying everyone involved as misguided, deceitful and manipulative. In one example, it says two monks who set themselves on fire in January had hired a prostitute the night before the protest.

Beijing Escorts: KEYC – Mankato News, Weather, Sports -Strauss-Kahn countersues NYC hotel maid …

… As a direct result of her malicious and wanton false accusation, Mr. Strauss-Kahn suffered … substantial harm to his professional and personal reputation in the United States and throughout the world,” says his Bronx court filing, written by attorneys William W. Taylor III, Hugh Campbell and others. It was first reported by the New York Post.
It was submitted two weeks after the same court rejected his argument that diplomatic immunity should shield him from Diallo’s suit, a ruling he may yet appeal.
Diallo’s lawyers said Strauss-Kahn’s defamation claim an example of the “misogynistic attitude” of a man who now faces preliminary charges of being involved in a hotel prostitution ring in France. As of last week, French investigators also studying accusations that Strauss-Kahn may have been involved in a rape during a sex party in a Washington hotel in 2010. Separately, a French writer accused him last year of having tried to rape her during a 2003 interview, an accusation prosecutors said was too old to try. He denies all the allegations.

Beijing Escorts: Paul French’s haunting story of 1937 Peking Resonates

suziewong — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:12:51 +0000

As Han and Dennis run into walls of things they are not supposed to ask and people they are not supposed to talk to, their investigation stalls. When they finally throw in the towel, the specter of the invading Japanese is more on the minds of most people than the death of one young girl. It’s up to her father to set things right.
French’s portrait of 1937 is a vivid and layered one, revealing all the different levels and classes of Peking society, from the upper class foreigners in the legation to prostitutes and madams and aimless white Russians, drinking their lives away. At the same time the portraits of Pamela, her father, Han and Dennis are just as finely drawn. And he doesn’t waste time telling the story — it moves at a brisk pace.

Everything came to a head with Isabella hanging on the side of a Beijing hotel. Then, she slit her wrists. And that was only summer.
Back in 2010, Isabella made a big splash as a “soccer girl” during the FIFA World Cup, appearing in promotional pictures. Her look—big eyes and a sharp chin—were considered the ideal for men and females alike.
But Isabella had more to offer than just a simple smile. Trained at the China Conservatory in Beijing, she was an accomplished opera singer as well as an actress.
…
By summer, the rumors about Isabella mounted, including vicious ones about her visiting male prostitutes. It apparently became all too much, because on August 11, she tried to jump out of downtown Beijing window. After police were able to get her back in the hotel, she slit her wrists and was rushed to the hospital. Footage of her dangling out of a window and right after she cut her wrists made the evening news.

Beijing Escorts: Blind activist: China says it’ll investigate abuse

suziewong — Tue, 08 May 2012 23:24:46 +0000

BEIJING (AP) – Rights advocate Chen Guangcheng says the Chinese government has quietly promised him it will investigate abuses he and his family suffered at the hands of local authorities, in a rare instance of Beijing bowing to demands of an activist.
…
In a sign that the government doesn’t want Chen’s case to set a precedent or encourage others, Beijing has not publicized its meetings with the activist, and coverage by the domestic media, nearly all of which are state-owned, has been limited to dispatches by the official Xinhua News Agency and editorials criticizing the U.S.
…
Chen and his supporters have tried to draw attention to his mistreatment for years. After Chen escaped from arrest in his rural home in Shandong province on April 22, he stayed in hiding in Beijing for several days during which he recorded a detailed video account of the abuse and his tormentors.

BEIJING (Reuters) – Leaving behind diplomatic drama over a Chinese dissident, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced a fresh test on Saturday as she moves on to Bangladesh where the disappearance of an opposition leader has fueled growing tensions.
Clinton will meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her opposition rival, Begum Khaleda Zia, following her arrival late on Saturday, and will also pay a call on Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, whose removal from the pioneering micro-lender Grameen Bank has been criticized by Washington.
…
But the trip will also likely put fresh focus on the Obama administration’s commitment to human rights after the standoff in Beijing over activist Chen Guangcheng, whose flight to the U.S. embassy after escaping house arrest overshadowed Clinton’s three days of meetings in Beijing.

China shuts down 535 “porno” microblogs
Beijing: Chinese authorities have shut down 535 microblog accounts over the past week alleging that they were disseminating pornographic and lewd content.
Some individuals were found to have used their microblog accounts to distribute video clips, pictures, text and links related to topics such as “one-night stands,” “flirtatious vself-shots and candid images” and “teen prostitution,” the State Internet Information Office (SIIO) said on Wednesday.
“These acts violated the law and have had a bad influence on the public in terms of perverting social morals and disrupting order on the Internet,” it said.
The SIIO said public security authorities have begun criminal investigations on some of the accounts’ owners.
