The Chinese SWORE that their "woman" gymnast, He Kexin, who won the gold ribbon at the last Olympics WAS indeed 16 years old...A LIE. She was 14, 4'8" and 72 lbs. This was NOT a small lie.
"What began as whispers among the media and gymnastics insiders weeks ago about the ages of three of China's female Olympic gymnasts -- Jiang Yuyuan, Yang Yilin and He Kexin -- has grown into ear-shattering, head-hurting shouts. Despite assurances by Chinese officials that all three are 16, the minimum age of eligibility for Olympic competition, newly discovered documents and records prove otherwise.
The New York Times first looked into the age of China's gymnasts with a story on July 27 that focused primarily on He Kexin, whose birthdate on numerous online records was listed as January 1, 1994, making her 14 when the Games began and ineligible to compete."

I neither believe or trust them on any issue. Why would I?
Fascinating.
Love it.
They are certainly an ancient culture and very proud of it.
I’m glad so much survived the hideous ‘cultural revolution’
. . . however . . .
Americans need to realize a worse ‘cultural revolution’
is headed for the whole globe . . .
And they were IMPORTING THINGS to the NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT...One of the things they found was files on the trade....and yes...they were EXPORTING products all over.
They also found 100,000 ballots for Obama for the 2012 election.
Chinese invented gunpowder, silk, paper, waterclocks, small feet, the copy machine, rockets and palaces.
Props to Bejing Daily for using BC, when whackjobs in this country are trying to eradicate in the name of “tolerance”.
Thanks, here’s an article of interest from that same site,

The result of the annual Cross-Strait Word of the Year competition was announced in Taipei on Dec. 9. The Chinese character “Wei,” which means “micro” or “small,” was named the 2011 word of the year, with 10 percent of the total 4.4 million votes.
... important to both sides of the Taiwan Strait in 2011 was reflected in some tiny details and minor issues, and micro-blogging was also extremely popular on both sides in 2011.
