What do dirty clothes and a fast-growing delivery sector have in common? Jackie Chan's lavish jet has a wine section, and in this corner, it's KFC vs China Mobile.
Dirty clothes delivery
Delivery providers are cashing in on lazy college students who mail their filthy clothes home for cleaning. Clean clothes would be mailed back. Cash-savvy students find the double trips of clothes cost more or less the same as cleaning stores. The service shows the fast-growing delivery sector makes life easier, said Liu Liangyi, an official from the State Post Bureau on Sunday.
Jackie Chan's private jet
Jackie Chan has a celebrity lifestyle that matches his stardom. An expose shows the lavish interior décor the world-famous action actor's private jet, which is equipped with a kitchen, a food freezer, and wine section. The plane can carry 13 people in total. Chan is currently in Beijing as member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top advisory body's annual gathering, Modern Jinbao reported.

KFC VS China Mobile
One is a giant fast food chain, while another is a State-run telecom srvice provider. The two parties are engaged in a war of words. An executive of China Mobile made an analogy, saying people can't return unfinished chicken to KFC if the Family Big Box, one of KFC's meal sets, turns out to be too much, while defending the company's policy that a monthly package's unused data can't be used the next month. Zhong Tianhua, China Mobile Group Guangdong Company, made the remarks on Friday. Angered KFC fought back on Sina Weibo, saying their chicken is always good in many ways, either with stewed or fried dishes, plus you can always take away the unfinished food.
