Chinese news media are featuring a story about a famous but non-existing town in north of Sweden Shakebao, which is a name not sounding remotely swedish to me. Shakebao is the only town i the world ruled and populated by only women, a town where only women can enter and men who attempt to trespass are taken down by female policemen. According to the myth, the town was founded by a widow in 1820ies and the rules that apply are that the women who have left town to engage in sexual activity to able to pro-create the village, need a cleansing bath before returning.

I am happy to see an old fashioned amazon-society myth about my own country! Fun reading Xinua china!
