Education department authorities of China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region did an unusual thing over the weekend. They opened the 2008 files of the gaokao, the national college entrance exam, to determine if rising mainland actress Nashi had committed fraud to enrol in the prestigious Shanghai Theatre Academy (STA).

This was the world’s earliest known matrilineal society and it lasted 250 years, maintaining a stable lineage through at least 10 generations, a Chinese-led team has discovered.

4 w. ago AI might solve China’s labour woes, but could also fuel deflation, report says
