Link - via Oddity Central (Photo: Hung Chung Chih/Shutterstock)The Jiamusi People's Police Academy, Shandong province branch, offered impressionable school leavers a three year law enforcement studies course taught by veteran officers on a new campus.
The rookie officers prepared to stump up the £2,000 fees were promised their hard won diplomas would land them jobs keeping the streets safe from criminals – including, one imagines, apprehending the innovative counterfeiters who have produced a long list of fraudulent products, including fake walnuts, vintage wine and the ubiquitous plastic Rolex.
The sham police school was closed after its "honorary president", Wei Zhenhai, inadvertently exposed the scheme. He boasted about his friends in high places to two female undercover officers who visited the admission office posing as potential students. Mr Wei claimed his unique constabulary connections would help them secure posts.
Genuine constables then pounced and arrested the academy's 23 staff, including the president, Zhao Qingxin.
China
has got fake handbags, fake watches and even a fake Apple store, but this
"fake" takes the cake: Fake Police Academy.

besides, the infrastructure to deliver power to individual homes is a long way coming, even if the dam is built. look how long it took for rural homes in america to get on the grid
What's the point of building the plant (even assuming it gets sufficient military protection), when the transmission lines are certain to be sabotaged or stolen?
Brilliant!!!
The damn would destroy a huge amount of land from flooding for the reservoir. This would remove animal habitat and farming land. There is also the terrible disruption to the river dams cause.
I agree with fsmarch lets focus on food not electricity production.
Oh and anyone have problems logging in today? Lots of PHP errors for me.
I believe they are hoping to get an economy started and join the rest of the world. You don't build transmission lines first and then build power plants.
It also seems like exporting power would provide needed cash.
I don't know all the details obviously, but it seems to me this has a good chance of being a win-win. Unless you just want them to remain a fifth world country with no hope.
