Tang Jiali nude photos

At the same time that the the Department of Culture is banning mildy pornographic network games, search engine Baidu reveals that actress, dancer and minor celebrity Tang Jiali (汤加丽) is currently the top search request on its list of "beautiful women".

The number of searches for Tang can probably be explained by her penchant for publishing books of nude photographs of herself. She also has a website, where you can find a gallery of images that would probably make the old farts at the Department of Culture blush.

There is some information and commentary on Tang and her books on Netease, here.

UPDATE: Spelunker writes:

Recently the Tangjiali.com link has somehow changed into Tiyu.net. I wonder if those "old farts" at the Ministry of Culture are also big fans of Danwei.org as it seems Miss Tang's disappearance from the net coincides with her appearance on your site.

Classic Danwei posts
+ The top Chinese books in 2007 (2008.02): China Reading Journal (中华读书报), Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), and City Pictorial (城市画报) choose mainland China's top books for 2007.
+ Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices.
+ Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.
