In this first drive review, we travel all the way to China to drive and review Bentley's newest luxury creation. Why China? Because it is where Bentley says will sell to the new generation of wealthy Chinese looking for the ultimate luxury performance ride. So how does over 616 horsepower feel in the People's Republic of China. You'll have to watch as Roman get's to tick of an item from his bucket list by driving the newest and most powerful sedan ever made from Beijing to the great wall of China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://youtu.be/a33r8heIfso&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chinastories.net/2013/05/watch-demonstration-in-beijing-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (China Stories)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645507167349642772.post-832607672141710213</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 11:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-05-23T06:36:08.757-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">bizarre</category><title>Surprise Surprise!

The fire service says 34 people were in the workshop at the time of the accident. The power of the blast was magnified by two underground stories which acted as a closed chamber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14 people have been pulled out of the site, but only 2 were alive. The search for the 20 missing workers continues. The company is a professional manufacturer of civil explosive materials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://youtu.be/tu35l4d9PcU&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chinastories.net/2013/05/surprise-surprise-shandong-province.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (China Stories)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645507167349642772.post-5778512853660747910</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 11:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-05-23T06:17:57.274-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Beijing</category><title>Beijing Tourist Spots Timelapse Video with a Great Song - TAKE A TOUR!</title><description>&lt;i&gt;-Great song!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/66638078?title=0&amp;amp;byline=0&amp;amp;portrait=0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/66638078"&gt;Beijing Timelapses&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/ulixes"&gt;Sergio Tittarini&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/"&gt;Vimeo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Time Lapse in Beijing at the Forbidden City</description><link>http://www.chinastories.net/2013/05/beijing-tourist-spots-timelapse-video.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (China Stories)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645507167349642772.post-6241086136179933372</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 11:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-05-23T06:14:05.361-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">university</category><title>Harvard University in Shanghai: Kate McFarlin President of Harvard Club, Jeffrey Williams Executive Director and Cleaning Rivers in Houtan Park</title><description>&lt;i&gt;-How many graduates live in Shanghai?? &amp;nbsp;over 700?? &amp;nbsp;WOW.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nNuXk3F2eD0" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; Kate McFarlin arrived with her one-year fellowship and a five-year plan to improve her Chinese, get experience, and make contacts. Ten years later, she remains in China, comfortably fluent in Mandarin, and, as the president of the Harvard Club of Shanghai, is working to strengthen the alumni community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://youtu.be/nNuXk3F2eD0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/pyEwvWF1wLc" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; Jeffrey Williams is executive director of Harvard Center Shanghai, a foothold designed to assist the University's involvement in China by providing local knowhow, administrative support, and facilities like the facsimile classroom, which also features a booth for simultaneous translation and extra-wide blackboards so translators can duplicate instructors' writings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 90-seat classroom is used mostly by HBS's Executive Education program, which Williams refers to as the center's anchor tenant. But even though it was constructed with support from HBS and the Harvard China Fund, the center is intended as a University-wide facility, as welcoming to those interested in public health, education, or astronomy as to those interested in business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We support student activities. We support training, like Harvard Business School's executive training. We host symposia and conferences. We have staff here who support things like business publishing or delivering Law School programs," Williams said. "I like to think of the center as a tool. We're not creating new content ourselves, but we're helping facilitate Harvard content and bringing it to China."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://youtu.be/pyEwvWF1wLc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/l0cwFpHPT0Y" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A manmade stream that draws from Shanghai's Huangpu River takes in water so polluted it shouldn't be touched. The stream slows the water, aerates it, and filters it through vegetation, until it emerges clean enough that people can swim in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project, called Houtan Park, runs a mile along the riverbank through what was once an urban brownfield, a former industrial site and scar on the urban landscape that is similar to many others in cities around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The park, toured by Harvard President Drew Faust during a visit in 2010, is the brainchild of Kongjian Yu, a Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) alumnus, dean of architecture and landscape architecture at Peking University, and design critic in landscape architecture and urban design at the GSD. His environmental approach to landscape architecture has won him international acclaim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://youtu.be/l0cwFpHPT0Y&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.chinastories.net/2013/05/harvard-university-in-shanghai-kate.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (China Stories)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645507167349642772.post-8005360981877525492</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 11:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-05-19T15:01:14.470-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">hacking</category><title>Time to Freak Out: Cyberspace is the new domain of war and China our number 1 adversary! </title><description>&lt;i&gt;-Freak out in 1...2...3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="253" scrolling="no" src="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/video/videoEmbed.html?uuid=f5eafcba-acfa-11e1-9369-05cf05b03c2e&amp;amp;noheadline=0" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government and business leaders in the United States and around the world are rushing to build better defenses - and prepare for the coming battles in the digital universe.

Fifteen minutes ago, a strong quake struck.&lt;br /&gt;"But there haven't been casualties in this area where I am standing," she said in her piece to camera.&lt;br /&gt;"Our residents in Ya'an have taken effective measures to prevent damages. I hope our city will be safe."&lt;br /&gt;Ms Chen, who appeared on air wearing her wedding dress and veil, went viral online, with many viewers calling her the "most beautiful bride in the world".&lt;br /&gt;She asked one woman what she was doing when the quake struck, to which the interviewee replied: "I was getting fuel for my car.&lt;br /&gt;"My first feeling was this earthquake was stronger than the May 12 quake (in 2008).&lt;br /&gt;"I feel pretty calm now. I feel much better after going through the May 12 earthquake."&lt;br /&gt;Ms Chen asked another unidentified woman whether she was still scared, to which she replied: "Yes, I am still a bit in shock. I called around trying to find out where the epicentre is."&lt;br /&gt;After conducting 10 minutes of interviews on the street, Ms Chen continued with her wedding - and went back to work after the brief ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;The Ya'an quake is the worst in China since the 2008 disaster, leaving hundreds of people dead and thousands injured.&lt;br /&gt;The 2008 quake saw around 68,000 people lose their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://youtu.be/6Op5ON3nzGQ&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/9kZQKZgMxyM" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wu Yong breaks down in tears as fellow villagers carry away his teenage son's coffin after a terrifying earthquake struck southwest China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://youtu.be/9kZQKZgMxyM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/9d-QpIgeqUY" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confused and terrified, a Giant Panda flew into a fit of panic as a massive earthquake struck in China on Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surveillance cameras caught the timid bear rushing around her enclosure, in the Bifengxia Giant Panda Reserve in Sichuan Province, desperate and disorientated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She quickly decided the safest place to be was up a tree.

This latest quake has smaller magnitude and depth, but it is still very much a concern for people in Sichuan."&lt;br /&gt;Local seismologists registered the quake at magnitude 7.0 while the US Geological Survey (USGS) gave it as 6.6.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USGS said that "significant" casualties were likely and that "extensive damage i&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twin tremors in neighbouring Yunnan province last September triggered landslides that left at least 80 people dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A magnitude-5.5 quake in Yunnan last June killed four people and injured more than 100.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://youtu.be/jQwmDP39kLE"&gt;http://youtu.be/jQwmDP39kLE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="253" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T3ySVHB4hEA" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A powerful earthquake has killed at least 72 people and injured at least 400 in China's south-western province of Sichuan, state TV reports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake, which had a 6.6 magnitude, was centred 50km (31 miles) west of the town of Linqiong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It said the tremor occurred at a depth of 12km (7.4 miles).
