Britney on FHM ChinaPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Sunday, June 6, 2004 at 1:36 PM
 FHM China's second issue is out. Britney Spears is on the cover, looking ready for some fetish action. The article does not mention her China Tour next year, which has been generating some controversy in China because the organizers were apparently told to make sure she does not wear clothing that is too revealing. Advertisers in this issue of FHM include Calvin Klein Jeans, Valentino, Aupres, Mont Blanc, Audi and Mazda. There are quite a lot of articles taken from international FHM editions, like an illustrated list of 50 extreme sports and the results of an FHM sex survey of Britain.  About 30% of the articles are locally produced, including a pull-out map of Shanghai showing places to park a car, and a spread on where celebrities in Beijing go for a drink. The celebrities and their bars include: Zhao Wei: Red Moon The most interesting answer is from pop singer Jin Haixin who goes to On Off, which is a gay bar. Another locally produced article is a four page photo spread and article about Shanghai-based PR consultant Tara Wang (pictured). FHM China is produced by the Trends Group who also publish Cosmopolitan, Esquire, China National Geographic, and Harper's Bazaar.

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.
