C hinese men are good in bed. In fact, they're better at foreplay than the world's supposed sorcerers of seduction, the French male.

Or at least so says Zhang Jiehai, a professor of psychology at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. He's not speaking from experience but quoting an unnamed 22-year-old French girl on his blog, part of a series of articles called "Unveiling the secrets of foreign women." Zhang is on a bent to pump up the sexual pride of Chinese men after an anonymous blogger called "Chinabounder" infuriated Netizens by detailing his sexual exploits with local girls, many of them married. Zhang led an Internet campaign to hunt down the supposed British teacher of English in Shanghai and boot him out of China by National Day on October 1.

This online furor illustrates how far blogging has come in China, a country where conventional media - print and broadcast - is still tightly controlled.
