Stephen Hawking getting desperate for Chinese women? hindu.com Beijing, June. 21(AP): Stephen Hawking charmed and provoked a group of Chinese students on Wednesday, telling them he liked Chinese women while warning that global warming might turn the Earth into a fiery planet. Before an audience of 500 at a seminar in Beijing, the wheelchair-bound celebrity cosmologist said, ``I like Chinese culture, Chinese food and above all Chinese women. They are beautiful.'' The audience of mostly university students and professors and a smattering of journalists applauded. Asked about the environment, Hawking, who suffers from a degenerative disease and speaks through a computerized voice synthesizer, said he was ``very worried about global warming.'' He said he was afraid that Earth ``might end up like Venus, at 250 degrees centigrade and raining sulfuric acid.'' An occasional visitor to China, Hawking was in Beijing to attend a conference on string theory, an area of physics that attempts to explain and model the universe. Hawking has near-superstar status in China, whose communist government regularly preaches that scientific prowess is crucial to the country's future power. ``In the world there's only one like him. I very much respect his personality and strong spirit,'' said Liu Fei, 24-year-old doctoral candidate at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Physics in Beijing.
