VIC: Decapitation as Foreign Policy 
The Darkening Face of Indonesia’s Democracy China never fails to deliver strange, funny and almost unbelievable viral stories.

The listing has once again attracted widespread attention because the property had already been auctioned twice, in November, last year and January, at a higher starting price of 266,000 yuan (US$40,000).
The final bids reached 1.056 million yuan (US$155,000) and 966,000 yuan, respectively, but both auctions failed.
