50 Cent Party
五毛党（wu mao dang） 50 Cent Party
Sometimes, translation is an art. By the name of 50 Cent Party, you might think it’s an organization of U.S.A., but they are actually from China. As everyone knows that in China, people have limited access to the internet, some famous websites are blocked, such as YouTube, Facebook ,twitter etc.. But besides the censorship, there is a force working in secret, not known by the majority. They are called 50 Cent Party.

Most popular words of Chinese netizens [1]
杯具 (bei ju)Cups of Tragedy/bitter cups
The word 杯具（pronounced as beiju, means cups originally）is used by Chinese netizens quite often last year, especially when something bad happens.
The origin of the saying comes from a scene in a lectural programme of CCTV10, a professor said 悲剧 with an exaggerating facial expression. Soon, a picture with this facial expression and the subtitle 悲剧 on it has been widely spread among the netizens.

Baidu Raises Revenue Forecasts In Wake Of Google's Potential China Exit
Baidu the leading search engine operator in China, this afternoon reported blow-out financial results for the fourth quarter of 2009. The company's Q4 profit rose 48.2% to 427.9 million yuan (approx. $62.7 million), or $1.80 a share. Revenue rose 40% to 1.26 billion yuan, or about $184.7 million, compared to the same period a year ago.
In the wake of Google's stand against censorship of its search engine in China and its consideration to cease business operations in the country altogether, Baidu – to Wall Street's surprise – raised its sales forecasts for the first quarter of 2010, projecting total revenues ranging from $176 million to $181 million, representing a 48% to 52% year-over-year increase.
