Yes, it seems McDonalds in China is celebrating the Angry Birds' movie release with a bunch of food inspired off the movie, like the 'Naughty Green Pork Burger' above which includes a pork patty, egg, lettuce, mysterious jalapeno-esque sauce, and those iconic green buns.
China's also gearing up for the Angry Red Burgers, which naturally feature flaming red buns.

Anime fans in China can't watch the Gun Gale Online series of SAO, but apparently they can see the terrible ALfheim second arc of the first series that I personally wish I could unsee.
The ban will add more titles as necessary, so if you're in China you should probably get started on some of the naughtier shows now. What other anime do you think will be banned in the future? My money's on Kill La Kill, personally.
Jackie Chan was quoted by the THR while giving a talk at the Shanghai Movie Festival saying, “Warcraft made 600 million RMB [$91 million] in two days—this has scared the Americans,” said Chan. “If we can make a film that earns 10 billion [$1.5 billion], then people from all over the world who study film will learn Chinese, instead of us learning English.”
Chan continued on and told the primarily Chinese crowd that “it is you, not us, who makes China powerful.” Continuing, he added, “So, thank you all—we hope the Chinese film industry gets even more powerful.”

Some people think this elderly woman simply mistook Galen for Guan Yu, but are we really sure? The statue happened to be located outside of an internet cafe, so it stands to reason that this lady might actually just have wanted to make her incense offerings while kneeling before Galen.
