A dog has won the first place in the UK’s best dressed competition after his dress sense and hairdo had “striking resemblance” to Republican nominee Donald Trump. Spud, a three-year old boxer from Lancashire in England, dressed in a pinstripe suit and silk blue tie and with a wispy fringe, he beat off dozens of rivals to take first place in the competition.

The show, hosted by an online retail firm Banana Moon clothing, saw dogs line up in their best outfits for the chance to win the title, the Daily Mirror reported. Spud beat off his competitors after his dress sense and hairdo reminded the judges of the Republican candidate Donald Trump.

“The UK’s Best Dressed Dog competition attracted 82 fabulous entries, all of which were worthy winners, but it was Spud who was chosen due to his striking resemblance to Donald Trump and the fact that his photo made everyone in our office laugh,” Alex Grace, managing director at Banana Moon clothing, said.

However, although his owner described her pet as the “class clown”, he managed to escape the show without controversy. “Spud is chuffed to bits to have won. He’s like the class clown, very popular with his friends, but doesn’t usually win first prize in anything because he’s too busy not taking anything seriously,” Spud’s owner Diane Goulding said.

“He loves praise, especially when he’s called handsome. Winning best dressed is an honour,” Goulding said. Finalists included Isobella the Lurcher from Leeds, who was dressed in a red hat and coat combo, Stanly the Chihuahua from Kent who dressed in a superhero costume, and Buddy the miniature poodle from Hackney, east London.

“As an online provider of personalised dog clothing, we decided it would be fun to launch a hunt for the UK’s Best Dressed Dog,” Grace said. “The competition was inspired by our own three dogs who love nothing more than wearing their jumpers,” he said.

“Although being dressed up might not be enjoyable for all dogs, there are plenty of pooches who love it, our office dogs included,” Grace said.

China’s Insanely Strong Liquor is Lowering Its Alcohol Proof Because Western People Are Weak Sauce

The Chinese liquor baijiu (白酒), known for its significantly higher alcohol content, is getting a tamed Western makeover.

While the 106-proof alcohol has been distilled the same way for nearly a millennium in China, local distillers are looking to adapt the drink for western markets due to decreasing local sales, reports Bloomberg.

Baijiu makers are seeking to recover from the drop in sales following the Chinese government’s anti-corruption crackdown, which directly limited officials’ lavish parties that are usually flooded with Baijiu. Overall, sales fell by 13% and its prices dropped by 50%.

Experimenting with fruits and ginseng and lowering its fiery potency, Chinese distillers are hoping to rebrand the liquor as “the new tequila” for Americans and Europeans, lowering its alcohol content to 80 proof.

To mask the liquor’s distinct pungency, the companies are testing mixes with grapefruit juice, Angostura bitters and brown sugar. They have also began promoting the new mixes at select bars in the U.S., U.K. and Australia.

Orson Salicetti of the Lumos bar in New York has expressed his support for the drink.

“Baijiu is not a spirit you can just pour into a martini glass and grow an appreciation for its taste immediately,” he said.

“The trick to appreciating baijiu is embracing its unfamiliar flavor in cocktails.”

The popular Chinese drink, also called “white liquor,” is created with sorghum, rice, wheat or corn. Euromonitor International reported that Baijiu makers sold around 5.5 billion liters, or 1.5 billion gallons of the the drink last year.

Old and new players are engaging themselves in creating the Baijiu most palatable to Western tastes, each introducing their new take on the thousand-year-old Chinese drink. Hopefully, in the companies’ quests to evolve the beloved product, the spirit of what makes it Baijiu gets retained.

Jack Ma and Steven Spielberg are Teaming Up To Make Movies in China

Award-winning American director Steven Spielberg has paired up with China’s richest man, Jack Ma, in a deal that would bring Hollywood a lot closer to China.

The team-up has Ma’s Alibaba Pictures working together with the all-time highest-grossing filmmaker’s Amblin Partners, a film and television production outfit, according to Bloomberg.

The deal, which provided Alibaba Pictures a minority stake in Amblin and a representation in its board of directors, will allow the American firm a crack at the world’s second largest box office where there is a huge demand for global content.

“I believe this collaboration can serve as a cultural bridge and have a positive impact on the next generation of Chinese consumers,” Alibaba Group founder and executive chairman Jack Ma was quoted as saying.

Amblin’s productions may also benefit from gaining distribution via China’s top video streaming site Youku Tudou, which was recently acquired by Alibaba.

Alibaba has shown considerable increase in interest in media and entertainment with its recent acquisitions. It has also recently invested in several Hollywood movie productions this year, including “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows”, “Star Trek Beyond”, and “Mission Impossible” among the most notable.

China’s interest in Hollywood is gaining much traction lately, with Wang Jianlin, another Chinese billionaire, purchasing stakes in a number of American film studios. Wang recently signed up to invest in Sony Pictures a few months after buying a controlling stake in Legendary Entertainment earlier this year.
