In an uncharacteristically bold move, a host on CCTV news has called for tolerance and respect towards homosexuality following the recent online slurs by award-winning actress Lv Liping.

In a late night commentary broadcast on CCTV 13 on Tuesday night under the banner "please respect each community group's choice", host Qiu Qiming slammed the 2010 winner of the Golden Horse Best Actress Award for homophobia.

He said, "We respect the faith of individual celebrities, and we allow them to have their own point of view on issues. But, that does not mean that we agree that a person of such influence should have the power to openly discriminate against certain communities in China."

China lottery winner

A man wearing a mask of the famous Chinese legendary character Monkey King appears before reporters after scooping 176.9 million yuan ($27.3 million) on the lottery in Chongqing municipality, Southwest China on July 5, 2011. The winner is believed to be around 30 years old, but didn't want to reveal his true identity as he collected the check at a local sports lottery center. He said he was nervous all day after winning, could not sleep or eat well as he was worried he might lose the winning ticket. He donated five million yuan ($772,831) to charity on the spot and answered reporters' questions for five minutes before swinging by the bank to cash his check. Money King is the main character in the classical Chinese epic novel Journey to the West.

Beijing Salon and parlors

June 21, 2011 Police took action on working girls street.

The public security bureau of Chaoyang district on Thursday raided 14 hair salons and foot massage parlors for allegedly providing prostitution services and other crimes.

More than 80 police officers took part in the crackdown and cleared up the shops on the eastern outskirts of the city, including five unlicensed entertainment venues in a street of Pingfang, bordering the rural regions of the district.

The operation was part of a 100-day campaign by the municipal public security bureau, which will last until Sept 20.

The police first raided a dimly lit, three-room foot massage shop. The owner, a woman surnamed Xu from Sichuan province, said her ex-husband had previously run the business, which she said was legal.
