China Daily becomes an image source for FleshbotPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 at 5:12 PM
Fleshbot enjoys Chinese state-owned media So, who does Fleshbot turn to when they need porn links? One of the world's leading sources of communist soft porn of course: The China Daily. When they needed a nude photo spread of Italian volleyball player Francesca Piccinini, they lifted it from the China Daily's website. The China Daily images seem to have been copied from another website, originally scanned directly from the pages of Men's Health magazine. Here are some more interesting galleries on the China Daily's website: 1, 2, 3. - Thanks to Steven Schwankert for the state-owned media consultancy. Grateful readers can thank him by learning how to scuba dive in Beijing. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on China Daily becomes an image source for Fleshbot
Whoa - When did China Daily stop using the blur tool on pinup images? Did the trial period on their pirated PS software finally expire?
hehe I think we should call it ART not porn.
We shoud call it 'Italian Fine Art'...

You never see Chinese women undressed in China Daily.
That would be revealing state secrets.

i admire this and it's a victory of women.
@MPW
Not true. You can often find pictures of nude Chinese women in the China daily.
Uh, I hear.
Anyway, these are often camouflaged as stories about artistic "photo shoots" for amateur photographers.
At any rate, they are cosmopolitan in their approach.
