Even though China has 1.5 billion people, they still have trouble finding any decent basketball stars. Just check out this sequence at a recent Chinese Basketball Association All-Star game. The ball is turned over four times in just twenty seconds, then is finally thrown out of bounds. The video is featured on TheHoopDoctors, Deadspin, and OpposingViews.
A very foolish man lit a firecracker and tried to throw it down a manhole to impress his kids in Xiangtan, China, and they all ended up paying the consequences.

The two kids and father were knocked back, and the heavy lid was launched into the air like a rocket.
Harbin, China is known well in the East for its bitter cold winters, so it’s only fitting that the city is also the host of Snow and Ice world. The amazing frozen landscape takes up 6.5 million square feet, and cost 19 million dollars to create.
It sounds like science-fiction that you might see in an X-Men movie, but Chinese CCTV has just reported on a young boy who can see in the dark. Nong Youhui has bright blue eyes, which is almost unheard of in China, which prompted his father to take him to a hospital in Dahua, southern China.
The doctors were stunned to realize that the boy’s eyes seem to glow in the dark, like a cat, and when given a reading test in the dark, Nong had no trouble reading. Of course, this isn’t the first time someone claimed to have superhuman powers, so don’t get too excited just yet.
China’s People’s Liberation Army is the largest in the world, so perhaps that is why they are so willing to have their soldiers train in such dangerous ways. In this horribly dangerous training exercise, PLA soldiers pass around a live hand grenade, and only jump away at the last second. The video is featured on BusinessInsider, DailyMail, and HuffingtonPost.
