It began as an internet beef. The women used a variety of insults on Chinese forums: donkey, dog, 'most famous cheap woman of Shanghai', ‘old aunt selling bus tickets’. On Tues, it spilled into real life, when Jin Lu was stabbed in a Vancouver courtroom... scmp.com/news/china/dip…
Lu's online rival Catherine Qinqin Shen has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault. It's a wild tale, first told by @proctor_jason of @cbcnewsbc (hat tip). No way was I not picking this one up.
(and while on the subject: reporters should be as free and frequent with hat tips, online and in their content, as their employer allows, IMO. @proctor_jason did the heavy lifting on this...he reported on the original case last year. So yeah. No harm acknowledging a good pickup)
(Note, spelling error in original tweet, should be JING LU)
