Beijing Massage Parlors: In Vancouver, enjoyment is an Olympic event
In the last two decades Richmond has become Vancouver’s new Chinatown, home to the second-biggest Asian community in North America; Asian Canadians now make up about 60% of Richmond’s population.
Stepping into one of Richmond’s shopping malls is a quick trip to the contemporary Orient. Yaohan Centre has a giant pan-Asian supermarket, and Aberdeen Centre is classic, over-the-top Hong Kong, right down to a showy multimedia water-fountain production in the foyer.
There are Sikh temples, the biggest Buddhist temple in North America, Chinese foot massage parlors and herb shops, but I go to Richmond to eat, especially at the Richmond Night Market, open weekends throughout the summer. You can smell the spicy lamb kebabs and sautéed noodles long before you reach the maze of 300 stalls lighted by strings of lights and hazed in plumes of smoke from grilled squid and prawns.

Beijing Massage Parlors: New York Times: Shenzhen, a place to go in 2010
Recommending global tourist attractions for readers at the turn of the year is the usual practice of the New York Times. The official website of the New York Times yesterday recommended in its tourism page, “Shenzhen, the same as Beijing and Shanghai, is one of the wealthiest cities in China. Its rapid development could be traced back to 1979, when Deng Xiaoping selected this small fishing port as China’s special economical zone.”
…
Shenzhen is one of China’s wealthiest cities, right up there with Shanghai and Beijing. Situated just a 45-minute train ride north of Hong Kong, the thriving city exemplifies China’s breakneck transformation from peasant economy to capitalist giant. Its rapid rise can be traced back to 1979, when Deng Xiaoping selected the sleepy fishing port as a special economic zone. Money, bulldozers and cheap labor poured in. Dim sum joints and illicit massage parlors gave way to gleaming shopping malls and faceless skyscrapers. A city of 14 million sprang up seemingly overnight.

…
“The sexual needs of the elderly should be fully recognized and respected by society,” added Pan Suiming, a professor at Renmin University’s institute of sexuality and gender in Beijing and well-known sexologist.
A Beijing man surnamed Huang, 74, who was diagnosed HIV positive in 2004, told China Daily he began paying for sex 10 years ago after the death of his wife. He never once used a condom, he said. “It felt better without it and I never thought HIV would happen to me. I wouldn’t say I regret it, or that I am not afraid of dying, but my only concern is if others know about my condition it might lead to my children being discriminated against,” he said.

Beijing Massage Parlors: Market Watch: China gets ready for wave of public issues
What’s the link between a Chinese massage parlour chain and the country’s biggest train manufacturer? Both are raring to raise funds from initial public offerings in mainland China markets.
Last week, at least nine companies started IPO subscriptions in Shanghai. In China, it’s almost as if the global financial crisis never happened.
The run-up to the New Year party couldn’t have been better. In November, China’s exports fell the least in 13 months. Imports surged 26.7 per cent from a year earlier as industrial production jumped.
Urban housing prices leaped to a 16-month high as first time buyers jammed the property market. Citic Securities, the biggest broker in China, upped the cheery decibel, reporting that the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index may reach 4,500 in 2010. (The Index closed at 3,247 last week.)
…
The boom this year will also sharpen Shanghai’s new found rivalry with Hong Kong. Beijing is likely to push China’s big state-owned enterprises to list domestically first, before moving to Hong Kong. …

Beijing Massage Parlors: China Will Continue to Drive the Global Economic Recovery in 2010
Indeed, Beijing’s massive $586 billion stimulus program and more than $1 trillion in new lending have helped China overcome a drop in exports and strengthen its domestic market while the rest of the world has struggled. And going forward that strategy will continue to pay off.
…
Now that Beijing’s policymakers have achieved the level of economic growth they sought at the year’s outset, the central government it’s starting to wean the country off of state support. But that doesn’t mean the lending spigot will be shut off.
…
Beijing will spend more than $400 billion on infrastructure by the end of 2010, and lots of that will go to building rail lines, including a $17.6 billion passenger rail line across the deserts of northwest China, a $22 billion web of freight rail lines in the Shanxi province and a $24 billion high-speed passenger rail line from Beijing to Guangzhou.

Beijing Massage Parlors: Shutting Down Red Light Districts Hampers HIV/AIDS Prevention: Indonesian Official
She said at least 70,000 of the city’s 500,000 residents are considered to be in a high-risk group for the disease.
Sri
said in the past, the red-light district had been concentrated in one
area. But, she said, new prostitution centers had recently sprouted up
across a broad area, such as a burgeoning red light district in the
northern part of the city, known as Jalak Alley in Gilingan.
Sri
said prostitution was rife across the city, with many places using
legitimate businesses as a front. She said many massage parlors,
billiard halls and brothels operating in private homes had cropped up.
Sri said the decentralized sex trade was far more difficult for
authorities to monitor and was a barrier for the city’s efforts, such
as ensuring condoms are readily available, to fight the spread of
HIV/AIDS.

Beijing Massage Parlors: Mao’s photographer remembers Great Helmsman
Mark MacKinnon Beijing — From Thursday’s Globe and Mail Last updated on Thursday, Oct. 01, 2009 06:44AM EDT
Standing less than two metres from Mao Zedong as he stood on the rostrum overlooking Tiananmen Square, proclaiming that a new People’s Republic had come to this ancient land, Hou Bo didn’t have time to contemplate the moment. She just tried to hold her ground and take as many photographs as she could.
…
While modern China’s defenders highlight how much the country has changed since the dark days of the Cultural Revolution, it hasn’t evolved enough for Mao’s successors to remove the sign exhorting “Long live invincible Mao Zedong thought!” from the outer gate of the leadership’s Zhongnanhai compound in the centre of the Beijing.

Ms. Hou is less certain. She and her husband have spent their retirement in an apartment on the edge of Beijing’s highly Westernized Sanlitun district, an area packed with Western clothing chains as well as salacious nightclubs and massage parlours.
