A CHINESE court has ordered a media company to pay nearly US$30,000 to a real estate developer after it published an article that suggested a flashy building in Beijing violated the ancient laws of fengshui and would bring misfortune to its occupants.
Fengshui, which literally translates in Chinese as"wind water", refers to an ancient pseudoscientific practice of harmonising individuals with the invisible forces in their surroundings.Many people pay a premium for homes and offices designed to be in harmony with nature, and reports of bad fengshui can haunt new developments.
Zhuhai Shengun, which has since closed its blog on WeChat, a messaging app, could not be reached for comment. The company said in court filings that the blog post was meant to spread information about traditional culture, not to harm SOHO China. "Many Internet companies are not doing well in these bleak conditions," the article said, providing a list of previous tenants that had gone out of business.
