            <title>shanghai men.. like big women...</title>

            <description>&lt;a href='http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisure/2014/03/17/shanghai-men-attracted-to-plump-women/' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/...to-plump-women/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shanghai men attracted to plump women&lt;br /&gt;March 17, 2014&lt;br /&gt;A survey shows they like ample women with big breasts.&lt;br /&gt;hint10SHANGHAI: A survey by a matchmaking website has confirmed a long-held suspicion – that Shanghai men prefer chubby, well-rounded women compared to their brethren elsewhere in China.The website surveyed 18,019 people across China about their preference of the opposite sex.Among those surveyed who prefer plump women, about 20% were Shanghainese, the highest nationwide. And among those who were attracted by big breasts, 17% were from Shanghai, second only to men in Guangdong Province.&lt;br /&gt;Shanghai Daily said the survey, conducted by jiayuan.com, also found local men were attracted by women’s buttocks and eyes.&lt;br /&gt;“Women with big eyes can trigger men’s protective desires, and it is believed that women with big eyes are usually tender,” said Zhang Jiarui, a consultant with the website.&lt;br /&gt;With South Korean romance dramas like “My Love from the Star” enjoying huge popularity on TV, more female respondents said they prefer men with long legs and small eyes.&lt;br /&gt;A Shanghai woman, surnamed Zhang, said she thought men with small eyes are more charming and smarter based on physiognomy. But she also suspected there are more playboys among them as well, making it difficult to maintain a relationship.&lt;br /&gt;Overall, only 8% of male respondents said they like women with short hair.&lt;br /&gt;Zhang said short-haired women are seen as independent and capable like nu han zi (strong, independent women), giving an impression that they are not easy to get along with.&lt;br /&gt;plus-size-women1For many Chinese women, a pointed chin is beautiful. Many of them have even gone under the knife to look like popular movie stars. However, a woman with a pointed chin are usually seen as being self-willed and arrogant, Zhang said.&lt;br /&gt;Eighty-eight percent of men prefer women with light skin, with Beijing residents showing the biggest degree of preference.</description>

            <title>chinese students in iowa ....</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3093264</link>
            <description>Chinese students at the University of Iowa began coming into Carousel Motors in Iowa City about three years ago to get their Mercedes-Benz and Audi luxury cars serviced. Finally, general manager Pat Lind started asking if they’d ever considered his dealership when they made their original purchase. No, the students told him. Back in China, they’d been told to buy their wheels in Chicago before heading to college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Lind began sponsoring the university’s Chinese student association, which sends information to incoming students in China before they arrive in the U.S. Sales to Chinese students doubled and now make up about 5 percent of the vehicles sold at the dealership, located about two miles from campus. “We became an advertiser,” Lind says, “and got our face in front of them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number of students from China enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities reached 235,597 during the past academic year, more than triple the 64,757 enrolled in 2002-03, according to the Institute of International Education. These students often come from families that are better off than the typical American college student’s, says Sid Krommenhoek, a founder of Zinch, a consulting firm owned by textbook rental company Chegg that works with prospective Chinese students. Shelling out &amp;#036;50,000 for a high-end car is viewed as an affordable status symbol compared with back home, where such cars can cost two to three times as much because of hefty import duties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among Chinese student car buyers in the U.S. in the past two years, 32 percent paid cash (Photo: Clayton Cotterell …&lt;br /&gt;Zinch surveyed 25,000 Chinese students last year and found that 62 percent said they could afford to spend at least &amp;#036;40,000 each year on a college education. “Most schools are recruiting [Chinese] students for whom the difference between a &amp;#036;20,000 and a &amp;#036;40,000 education is a rounding error,” Krommenhoek says. “This is a very attractive demographic for foreign brands.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese students in the U.S. purchased about &amp;#036;15.5 billion in new and used vehicles in 2012 and 2013 through October, according to Art Spinella, president of CNW Marketing Research. His figures, based on car sales, student and family visa data, and other factors, include Chinese students attending high school, undergraduate, and graduate institutions in the U.S. A comparable group of American students purchased &amp;#036;4.7 billion in vehicles, CNW estimates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interest in autos among Chinese students in the U.S. shouldn’t be surprising. Teeming demand on the mainland has boosted global automakers’ profits in recent years. While China’s austerity measures slowed luxury sales somewhat in 2013, deliveries there of Volkswagen’s Audi—for many years China’s No. 1 luxury nameplate—increased this year through September by 23 percent, to 366,038. Only 114,411 Audis were sold in the U.S. during the same period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little more than half the vehicles bought by Chinese students in the U.S. during the 22-month period CNW studied were new, with an average purchase price of &amp;#036;52,796; and 32 percent of buyers paid cash. Those buying used vehicles paid about &amp;#036;36,500, and 58 percent used cash. About 40 percent of their U.S. counterparts purchased new vehicles, with an average price of &amp;#036;19,472, CNW says. And fewer than 5 percent of those buyers paid cash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lind’s Chinese student customers almost always pay with cash. “Many times they’ll come in here,” he says. “They’ll pick out the car and say, ‘OK, I’ve got to call my parents and tell them how much to wire over. I’ve only got &amp;#036;20,000 in my account and I need &amp;#036;50,000, so they’ll wire the difference.’ ”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some dealerships, such as Mercedes-Benz of Eugene, in Oregon, have hired Mandarin-speaking sales staff to deal with the rush of Chinese students craving luxe rides. Steve Shaheen, general manager of Okemos Auto Collection, a BMW and Mercedes dealer near Michigan State University in East Lansing, says he’s seen his sales to Chinese students rise to as much as 15 percent of his total business, from zero five years ago. Chris Perantoni, sales manager at Royal on the Eastside, an Audi and Volkswagen dealership near Indiana University at Bloomington, trumpeted in his advertising that the store had a salesman who spoke Mandarin and Cantonese—until the staffer’s visa expired and he had to leave. “Him being bilingual definitely helped,” says Perantoni, who estimates that as much as 10 percent of his annual sales are now to Chinese students. “We’d love to have him back.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ralph Parshall, general manager at the Mercedes dealership in Eugene, says an influx of Chinese students over the past two years at the University of Oregon has boosted his annual sales by as much as 8 percent. Parshall began sponsoring several Chinese student activities, including dance parties put on by a student group called Pretty in China. In November the group took over a nightclub in Eugene for Asian Night, a party that included a special VIP entrance where guests took pictures on a red carpet in front of a Mercedes logo backdrop. Pretty in China’s online videos show young people arriving at previous events in exotic sports cars such as an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SLS with gull-wing doors, and posing in front of a BMW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hao He, 22, an Oregon sophomore from Guangzhou who says he paid cash for his black BMW 335i, is part of a campus group called the International Student Auto Club. The group has about 30 members, mostly from China. One student has a Lamborghini, though most prefer BMWs, He says. While members throw barbecues and help new students navigate the car-buying process, their favorite thing to do is gather in parking lots with their rides. “We don’t show off—we just park someplace and talk to each other about how to modify your car,” He says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Club member Yang tries out a friend&amp;#39;s Audi (Photo: Clayton Cotterell | Bloomberg Businessweek)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oregon senior Calvin Yang, 24, another club member from Guangzhou, says many Chinese students arrive expecting to buy just basic transportation but soon learn they can afford much more. “After they know the price, they’re sure they want to buy a car,” he says. “I’ve seen some students—they’ve bought a car three days after they arrived in the U.S.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some can’t seem to stop buying. Iowa City’s Lind says one Chinese student recently came to him to purchase a Mercedes-Benz CLA, a sedan that begins at &amp;#036;29,900. The student then took a road trip to Chicago, where he traded the car in for an Acura RDX, which starts at &amp;#036;34,520, only to return to Lind’s dealership to swap that for another Mercedes, which he drove for 400 miles before switching it for a Lexus IS250, which begins at &amp;#036;35,950. “He finally said, ‘Oh, I just like trying different things,’ ” the dealer says. “We’re four cars behind as far as getting titles and licensing.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://autos.yahoo.com/news/chinese-students-major-in-luxury-cars-210605250.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://autos.yahoo.com/news/chinese-studen...-210605250.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1975506</link>
            <description>&lt;a href='http://news.malaysia.msn.com/regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5086581' target='_blank'&gt;http://news.malaysia.msn.com/regional/arti...umentid=5086581&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Do you agree that Malaysia does not deserve its seat on the UN Human Rights Council? &lt;br /&gt;And why? &lt;br /&gt;What do you think of the human rights situation in Malaysia?&lt;br /&gt; Which is more important to you? Human rights or stability&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The Malaysian government is directly responsible for a worsened human rights situation in 2010,&amp;quot; The Voice of the Malaysian People (Suaram) said in its annual report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three women were caned under sharia law for the first time in Malaysia last year and arrests under a tough security law that allows detention without trial more than tripled to 25 from a year earlier, it said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The group said a &amp;quot;culture of impunity surrounding the police and other law enforcement agencies continues to worsen&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The spike in deaths by police shooting reached alarming levels... 2010 saw water cannons and tear gas turned on peaceful protesters including children,&amp;quot; it added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report accused police of being &amp;quot;trigger happy&amp;quot; and estimated that at least 18 people had been killed by police shootings last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It said that of the 279 people killed in police shootings between 2000 and 2009, half had died between 2008 and 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report came just two weeks after police arrested more than 1,600 people during a mass protest in the capital Kuala Lumpur on July 9.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police crushed the electoral reform rally by firing tear gas and water cannon on peaceful protestors. One protestor died during the demonstrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;It is shocking that Malaysia was elected to the UNHRC on 13 May 2010, with its poor human rights&amp;#39; record. 2010 is testimony to the fact that Malaysia does not deserve a place at the UNHRC table,&amp;quot; it said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Najib Razak, who took office in 2009 promising economic and political reforms including a review of laws that allow for detention without trial, has defended the July 9 police action.</description>
