Woman at Centre of Plastic Surgery Scandel!

China: “Ugly Wife Court Case” – is the “Husband Feng Jian [冯健]” Story “True” or “False”? (13.11.2025)

Having examined the Chinese language online sources – it does seem that this story is true. It seems that it dates back to late 2012 – but every so often (even in China) – it is re-printed with elaborations and revelations which were not in the original story. I did read in the comments beneath one version that the family involved are in fact “Korean-Chinese” – and this is why the woman involved paid for her plastic surgery to be carried-out in South Korea. My instincts were that this is “fake” as it opposes the Socialist laws on equality and those supporting the rights of women and girls. Of course, it could be fake, but I have included a number of Chinese language versions as well as a YouKu news article. Usually, the Chinese State “removes” all fake news and as it has not moved to do this – this suggests this story is true. It is disgusting that a woman and/or a child would be considered “ugly” – as this is a body-fascist attitude contrary to all Socialist ideology.

Venice Lion Chinese Tomb Guardian

Italy: Study Finds Winged Lion of Venice Has “Chinese” Origin! (11.9.2025)

It would seem that between the Tang and (Islamic) Yuan Dynasties (around six-hundred years) this Lion sat dutifully outside a temple (or a tomb) – before being transported to the West and extensively “altered” to suit Western sensitivities – although it is highly likely that very few Europeans knew what an African (or “Indian”) lion actually looked like. Most Chinese lions I have seen are sat-down and I have never seen such an object stood-up on all fours. It would be interesting to see what the Lion in question looked like before the alterations. Finally, it is interesting that the British author (and former Submarine Commander in the Royal Navy) – Gavin Menzies (1937-2020) – wrote a book entitled “1434: The Year a Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance” (2008). He discusses the Chinese delegation that met with Pope Eugenius IV in Florence (1434) – and suggests that China had some type of diplomatic connection with the City States (which included Venice). Those who criticise Menzies’ work – are the same people who would never have allowed for idea that St Mark’s Lion could be of a “Chinese” origin. Given that this Lion arrived in Venice around 1264 – this Chinese Mission would have occurred only 166-years later.

PRC Tariffs Announced!

China: Plans to Add Counter-Tariffs on US Products Announced! (5.2.2025)

Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said China should resort to effective countermeasures against any tariff threats by the White House, while optimizing domestic policies and anchoring market expectations.

“Based on the experiences gained during the first Trump administration, China can utilize measures such as imposing additional tariffs and export controls to counter trade threats from the U.S.,” Luo said.

He added that China should continue to broaden the list of sanctioned goods and entities, and increase Beijing’s negotiation leverage with Washington.

Given heightened global uncertainties, China should scale up the intensity of its fiscal and monetary policies, actively expand domestic demand to counter any potential downturns in external demand, and steadily push forward high-level opening-up, expand networks with trade partners and diversify its trade portfolios, Luo said.

The Bizarre Kidnapping of Amber Aiaz & Melissa Fu! (4.4.2023) 

Zhang Cheng was puzzled at the time, but not long after talking to his wife, (at around 4 pm), a Chinese man and woman in their 40s knocked on the door. As soon as Zhang Cheng opened the door – he was sprayed in the face with a chemical substance and instantly lost consciousness. Zhang Cheng was unconscious for nearly eight hours. When he woke up – he found that Ambar Aiaz’s car and a supply of seafood were in the parking lot of their apartment – whilst her mobile phone and wallet were also in the house – but she and her daughter were nowhere to be found! 

At the same time, Zhang Cheng found someone had left a Chinese language note at home, which conveyed a warning: “We are monitoring you, do not call the police, and you will see your wife and children in a few days.” As a result, Zhang Cheng foolishly did not call the police. It was not until 10 days later, on December 2nd, 2019, that he went to the Police for help. The Police immediately launched an investigation. The first person they suspected was Zhang Cheng. In addition to the fact that he had not called the police in time – Ambar Aiaz’s mother stated that her daughter and Zhang Cheng had many quarrels – and that her daughter – Melissa – didn’t like him either. 

However, in the process of investigating the case, Zhang Cheng cooperated very well throughout the entire process – and also accepted and passed a polygraph test. When the police investigated the apartment where the three lived, they found a small amount of blood and a bloody handprint – but strangely, this handprint was smaller than the palms of all three of the family. After identification, the bloodstain matched Ambar Aiaz’s DNA. After that, the Police launched an investigation which dug up a series of surprising clues.
