BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese province has banned its tourists from wearing counterfeit clothes overseas to avoid flagrant abuse of intellectual property rights and to protect its image, local media said on Tuesday.
The government in the northeastern province of Jilin had also banned carrying or sending pirated goods, including CDs and DVDs, overseas, the Beijing News reported.
"Jilin government ... requests the carrying out of a strict crackdown and regulation of counterfeit goods and discs sent by post or carried overseas. Wearing counterfeit brands overseas is also not permitted," the paper quoted an official notice as saying.

Hello Treehouse Forum !
i have made a homepage about a week-end in a Mongolian yurt (in France !).

A three-year-old boy has been eaten alive by a neighbour's herd of pigs on the outskirts of the Indian capital, Delhi, police say.
The boy, Ajay, strayed from the family home as his parents and other family members were having lunch.
When his mother went to look for him, she found the pigs chewing something and spotted bits of her son's clothing.
She threw stones at the animals but they turned on her. Her screams alerted neighbours who came to her rescue.
It's heartwarming to see people succeeding at refusing to sell their little house to the government (picture from Shanghai) when the government wants to evict them,
although it appears from the story that the pictured agreement was reached only after the old woman poured gasoline on herself.
There's actually a (less visually dramatic) version of this in zhongdian. If I rembmer, I'll take a picture of it and post it here. Have any of you heard of stories like this (or alternatively, stories where the government won?)
Piracy in China is so blatant, it's rather funny. That site, "the world 1st website for copyright movie absolutely free," launched recently. When I tried to download something, I got an error message which seems to say that the site is undergoing maintenance. It's no matter, since the site will probably get shut down at some point (only to be replaced with others). If you can't read Chinese, here's a machine translation, which is enough to get the point across.
China is creating new organ transplant rules to prevent organ harvesting abuses:
China will tighten its organ transplant rules to prevent unqualified doctors and profit-hungry hospitals from abusing patients, state media said Monday, amid concerns that executed prisoners have had their organs harvested without consent.
For comparison, in Spain, Austria, Belgium and Singapore, it's legal to use organs from dead bodies unless the individual or family has made a formal objection. Iran has a government regulated organs market. I don't know if the government picking which hospitals are allowed to do organ transplants is the way to go, but I do think this is one case where adding some regulations to the free(-wheeling), wild, sometimes black market is the way to go.

I believe that fake monks exist -- there are almost certainly several that wander around aggressively begging for money where I live. But for 180 police officers to chase ten of them, there's got to be something else going on.
Nineteen men have been detained by police in southwest China for impersonating monks and selling fake or shoddy goods, a local official and state media said Sunday.
. . .
When police officers arrived at one site, they saw 10 of the men attacking journalists from a local television station trying to film them, the paper said. Some 180 officers gave chase after the monks escaped in two vehicles and fired warning shots into the air after they intercepted the vehicles, it said.
