Fucking gangster newspapers, Jimmy Lai and other China media folliesPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 15, 2004 4:55 PM
![]() A roundup of stuff in and about Chinese media: China's Third Evil Force: The News Media I was a reporter for about seven to eight years at a newspaper in western China, and I can summarize what I personally observed as follows: a fucking gangster newspaper! Read the whole thing here (it's the second article on that page.) Jimmy Lai: King of Chinese tabloids Jimmy Lai, 55-year-old entrepreneur and brazen media tycoon, shows no signs of mellowing. He still brandishes the same trademark paparazzi publishing style: investigative political and propagandistic reporting, sensationalism mixed with the requisite photos of naked women. Young man, nude, strolls along Nanjing street One of the images, reproduced above, is captioned: "The nude man begins to put on his clothes on demand of a man".
