Analysts are becoming increasingly concerned that China may launch a surprise military attack on India in 2012, based on conditions today that are similar to those present the last time China attacked India – in 1962, says a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

The concerns center on an ongoing border dispute between the two countries and joint energy projects that India has entered into with Vietnam in areas of the South China Sea which China claims as its own territory.

Even today, China continues to hold onto Indian territory it captured in 1962, and it continues to initiate troop provocations along the disputed border, warning India against taking it back, despite attempts at confidence building measures.

The Chinese actions suggest it has no intentions of reaching a peaceful resolution to the confrontation.

A wealthy Chinese couple has become parents to eight children using in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment and two surrogate mothers, Guangzhou Daily reported Monday.

First the mother gave birth to triplets in October after undergoing IVF treatment. A few days later two surrogate mothers hired by the couple gave birth to another set of triplets and twins also using IVF.

Now the family employs 11 nurses to care the four girls and four boys.

A man who advertized for a maidservant for a 17-year-old on his micro blog claims he has already interviewed 30 girls for the position, Changjiang Daily reported on Tuesday.

Huang Yufei, who says he is recruiting for a friend, stated on his Weibo that the successful applicant should wear a maid's uniform, live in the house, make tea, call him master, watch animation cartoons and be fluent in English.

While being demolished, a three-story building partly collapsed onto a road near this city's East Third Ring Road on Friday.

The accident caused no injuries but damaged four vehicles that were passing by.

The building stands near the new China Central Television (CCTV) building in Beijing's Central Business District.

It collapsed onto Chaoyang Road at about 11:10 am, Wang Yu, a Chaoyang District police officer, said on Friday afternoon.

"We received a phone call saying a building had collapsed in the Chaoyang district," Wang said. "We immediately dispatched more than 20 policemen to keep order there."
