Why is it no longer fashionable in China to be a crazy wealthy Asian?


Is 650 yuan ($101, £72) enough for a day's worth of food?

Not in the opinion of Su Mang, the former editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar China, whose remarks about it on a reality TV show angered Chinese social media.
"I can't eat with such poor standards," she said on the show 50km Taohuawu, which features 15 celebrities living together for 21 days.

Netizens were outraged by her remarks, pointing out that their daily food ration is frequently less than 30 yuan.
The public was not convinced, even though Ms Su, dubbed "China's Devil Wears Prada," later emphasized that it was all a "misunderstanding" and that the 650 yuan was for her entire time on the show.


"She can try to justify it, but the truth is that celebrities are elitist without realizing it," one user remarked on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging platform.
Hers is only the latest example of public outrage directed at a celebrity because of their wealth.

Annabel Yao, the younger daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, enraged the internet earlier this year when she claimed she had lived a life of suffering.
"I've never thought of myself as a 'princess'... I believe I was like most people my age in that I had to work hard and study hard to get into a good school "she announced her singing profession in a glamorous 17-minute video documentary.

 WTC Final: India has performed admirably on international trips and should defeat New Zealand, according to Yuvraj Singh.     Yuvraj Singh, a former all-rounder, believes India should win New Zealand in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final because Virat Kohli's team has done admirably on international trips. India won the WTC rankings with 72.2 PCT after accumulating 520 points to qualify for the finals, while New Zealand came in second with 70 PCT and 420 points, edging out England, who had more points (442) but a lower PCT (61.4). "I think it's a great concept to push Test cricket to the next level; I believe India is quite capable, as seen by their outstanding performances on international tours, including two victories in Australia. I believe India believes they can win anyplace, but the conditions in England are different. I am confident that India will defeat New Zealand "On eSalaamCricket, Yuvraj Singh told Aaj Tak.

Beijing tells Nato to stop hyping up China threa

China's activities, notably the expansion of its nuclear weapons, have put the "rules-based international order" at jeopardy, according to Nato. It was the first time Nato had put China at the top of its priority list.

It went on to say that Nato should take a "rational" approach to China's development and "avoid using China's legitimate interests and rights as an excuse to influence bloc politics, foment conflict, and fuel geopolitical competition." On Monday, Nato issued a statement at the conclusion of a one-day conference in Brussels. It was Joe Biden's first NATO meeting as President of the United Sta...
