CCTVNews wrote:China bans live streaming of “seductively eating bananas”
In an attempt to clamp down on inappropriate and erotic content online, Chinese streaming services have recently banned the people filming themselves eating bananas “erotically”.
China’s burgeoning online live streaming scene is increasingly giving cyber authorities more ethical and regulatory dilemmas as web hosts push the bounds of “acceptability” to increase their viewership......
China sentences man to 7 years in jail for watching a film
Authorities in the far western Chinese region of Xinjiang gave a seven-year prison sentence to an ethnic Uighur man for watching what reports claim was a politically "sensitive" film.
According to Radio Free Asia, officials claimed the man, identified as Eli Yasin, a resident of Chaghraq township in Aksu prefecture, had watched a film on Muslim migration and was possibly "planning to go abroad 'to wage jihad.'" Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim Turkic minority, are the majority population in Xinjiang and have long complained of discrimination and marginalization by the Chinese state.

Walrus drowns trainer and tourist at wildlife park
A 3,300-pound walrus killed two people in a Chinese wildlife park by “hugging” them tightly and drowning them, according to reports.
A male tourist from Liaoning in Northeast China was visiting the Xixiajou Wildlife Park in the Shandong Province when he lost his footing and tumbled into the walrus pool, according to the Shanghai Daily, which did not provide a specific date of the incident.
The animal’s longtime trainer jumped in the water to try to save the flailing visitor — but the massive pinniped wrapped its arms around both men and plunged the pair deep underwater.
Zoo officials told local media that they initially thought the walrus was just demonstrating playful behavior with its longtime trainer and didn’t think he was in harm’s way.
Disturbing video of the incident has been circulating on Weibo, a popular social media site in China similar to Twitter, leading many to question the park’s safety procedures.
There are currently no barriers at the walrus exhibit, which remains open.
Cringeworthy Video Shows Kids Smashing Museum Artwork As Adults Watch
Jaw-dropping surveillance video captured two children destroying glass artwork inside of a Chinese museum as two adults filmed them on their phones.
The video, reportedly shot at the Shanghai Museum of Glass, shows the children roughhousing behind rope barriers as the two women casually watch.
The kids are first seen waving in front of the glass sculpture of two wings, titled “Angel Is Waiting.” When one of them begins tugging on it, one of the women steps forward with her camera, but only as though to get a better view.
It’s not until the wing is nearly pulled off the wall that a woman’s hand reaches forward to pull the boys away. Once abruptly let go, the wing smashes against the wall and a portion of it shatters to the floor.
According to Metro.uk, rather than fix the piece, artist Shelly Xue decided to leave it as is and retitle it “Broken.”

Disney Vows Action as Snow White Appears at Wanda Park
Walt Disney Co. said it’s prepared to take action to protect its intellectual property rights after performers dressed as Snow White and Captain America were sighted at Dalian Wanda Group Co.’s new theme park and entertainment complex in China.
“We vigorously protect our intellectual property and will take action to address infringement,” the company said in an e-mailed statement Monday in response to Bloomberg News queries about the characters, who resembled ones from Disney. “Our characters and stories have delighted generations, these illegal and substandard imitations unfortunately disappoint all who expect more.”
The statement from Disney, which broke its silence since billionaire Wang Jianlin recently took a jab at the world’s largest entertainment company, illustrates the escalating rivalry between the two. The Wanda chairman said just over a week ago that Disney’s “one tiger" -- its Shanghai Disney Resort set to open on June 16 -- will be no match for Wanda’s “pack of wolves,” prompting the U.S. media company to say that Wang’s comments were not “worthy of a response.”
The Disney look-alikes were spotted at the official opening of the $3.2 billion Wanda City park complex in Nanchang, the first of his conglomerate’s 15 planned theme park and entertainment projects in China that it hopes will help it unseat Disney as the world’s largest tourism operator. The companies are vying for dominance of China’s $610 billion tourism industry, which the government predicts will double by 2020 amid a growing middle class.
“The non-Wanda characters were operated by individual stores within Wanda Mall. They do not represent Wanda,” Wanda said in an statement Sunday in response to Bloomberg’s queries. The company declined to comment on Disney being prepared to protect its intellectual property.

Remind me how much Disney paid for the rights to Snow White and all those other children's stories, again...
