Movie-star heavy weights Fan Bingbing and Li Chen have put months of speculation about the nature of their relationship to rest, confirming that they are dating with a post on Weibo. The revelation has not been without controversy, with friends of Li’s former girlfriend Zhang Xinyu accusing Fan of stealing Li - as if he were a neglected handbag and Fan an opportunistic pickpocket. Li has hit back by accusing Zhang of cheating on him, and saying he no longer wants anything to do with her. Li also said he had to “protect” Fan from these allegations, as if Fan had stolen a handbag and he was her court assigned lawyer. The happy couple met on the set of TV series The Empress of China. Fan played the title role of Empress Wu Zetian, and Li played her childhood sweetheart.

Sometimes it’s best not to test people – you might not like what you find. Sesame Credit recently funded an experiment in which two convenience stores, a Vanguard store in Hangzhou and an AMPM store in Beijing went completely staff free, customers were asked to pay for their goods on an entirely trust based system. Someone should tell Sesame Credit that this sort of thing only ever works in Scandinavia. People responded to the experiment by, well, stealing stuff. A group of women entered the store, filled a couple of bags and walked out which is a little forthright, but you gotta love the gentleman who placed a single 10 kuai note on the counter before helping himself to expensive liquor and cigarettes, we’re not quite sure who he thinks he’s fooling. Sesame Credit say the experiment was a success with the people who stole stuff only “minor examples.” We’re just hoping the people at the BMW dealership start to get similar ideas.
