Reign of Assassins and College Exams
Hey! The legendary John Woo has a new movie coming out on June 22, 2011. It will be available on both DVD and Blu-Ray. The movie stars Michelle Yeoh (meow) as some sort of assassin that's trying to leave her life of killing behind. However, that all comes to a halt when others start looking for her. Sounds like your run-of-the-mill action film, but with Woo's pizazz I'm sure it won't disappoint.
On to other news, it looks like there's a decrease in the number of high school students taking college placement exams in China. It's been decreasing for a number of years and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. This doesn't mean that Chinese students are looking for careers as pop singers and basketball stars, but it is a sign that many are studying overseas and because of the increase of money floating around China, families have an easier time paying for such an education. Also, with the one child rule there aren't as many kids entering the college level and it really makes you think about where China will be in twenty to thirty years when the population is mostly elders.
Anyway, on a separate note you should watch........"Replicant" because Van Damme plays a serial killer SPOOOOKY! Don't worry he also plays a replica....er clone...so he's a good guy too!

Popularity Does Not Always Rhyme With Quality
When this thing hits 88 MPH, you're going to see some serious shit!
Lou! Milk! Chocolate!
You are my density.
Clint Eastwood? What kind-of stupid ass name is that!
You bo-do head! Hover boards don't work on water!
I hate manure!
Okay. For those wondering, I'm quoting lines from the "Back to the Future" trilogy. Perhaps the best trilogy of all time! I mean, once "Star Wars" no longer held trilogy status and with "Lord of the Rings" still sucking ass, what other set of three films could possibly rank at the top? Yeah, I thought so. Anyway, so what does this have to do with China. Oh nothing...except for the fact that they're trying to censor time travel movies! In China, the SARFT (State Administration for Radio, Film, and Television) has some wacky guidelines, which includes limiting and censoring western movies based around time travel. Who does this protect? And what does it protect? No one knows. Regardless of why....some of the best movies are based around time travel. Chinese people are missing out big time, but the biggest threat is the fact that they're now censoring Jean-Claude Van Damme! He stars in the greatest time travel movie of all time, "TIME COP!"

McDonald's to open 700 new stores by 2013
It seems that McDonald's Corp is planning a huge expansion in China. Currently, in China, there are 1,300 stores, so by 2013 they're aiming for a total of 2000. It will result in the hiring of 50,000 new employees, which includes 1,000 university graduates for management training. As of right now, McDonald's is expanding faster in China than in any other market in the entire world. All of this is a result from the increased competition in the fast-food industry. Yum Brands, which operates 3,800 KFC and Pizza Hut chains in China announced that they were planning on an expansion, but by buying out another company. What does Van Damme think about this.......let's ask!
How do you feel about all of this McDonald's expansion talk?
I like rattlesnake!

The 1997 Transfer of Sovereignty and Jean-Claude Van Damme
Hong Kong is considered a special administrative region. Their political system is different from the rest of China. A non-communist government, but rather a independent judiciary that functions under the common law framework, which is a law developed by judges through decisions of courts rather than through legislative statues.
“One country, two systems.”
So why is this?
Well, where were you on the 1st of July in 1997? That was the day that marked the end of British rule, and the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong to Chinese rule. Hong Kong was acquired by the UK through three treaties. The Treaty of Nanking in 1842, the Treaty of Beijing in 1860, and the Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong territory in 1898. This granted the UK a lease of 99 years, which makes me wonder what the payments were? Anyway, by the time of the late 70’s the PRC was getting involved in the discussions of what will happen at the expiration of the lease. There was a lot of conflict between PRC and the British Empire for over a decade. To keep peace and having invested trillions of dollars and enriching the lives of millions HK gave it back to China, but under only one condition. That was to keep HK the way it is for 50 years.
However, there’s a much bigger side story going, which was the story of counterfeit jeans and nano-bombs. The story didn’t get much press because we know how China likes to keep everyone in the dark. Regardless, the story leaked and like any juicy story Hollywood got their hands on it.
