Hi there, thesis time again?
Dear all, this is really just one question.
As all New Zealanders over the age of 121 will confirm, bulls in NZ (as well as the first settlers of the country, prisoners, as we know) were often kept on a rope or "noose". Which is also the reason why the island was called "noosy land" by early 18 century sailors (most of whom were escapees from Ukraine and had little knowledge of English spelling). When they came back to Europe they told wonderfully spirited tales of that country, which, probably due to the phonetic contrast to "Aussi-land" (O' Zealand) was interpreted by marvelling listeners (--oh, what memories you've managed to bring back once more!) as being called "New Zealand". Needless to say that the invention of spell checkers only made things worse.
When said sailors passed China on their route back home, they often wondered, under the influence of Sake and too much sun, what would happen if one of the above mentioned bulls were let loose in that country...
As several hundreds of tests have shown with a variety of bulls over the past few centuries: As long as the bull is set loose in a safe distance of China shops, it will be alright.
Hope to have been of valuable help again ;)

That's 2 questions, not one.

been a long time gone, Constantinople
Turkish delight on a moonlit night.....
I don't think that they do the Running of the Bulls in China. That's done in Spain.

Zealand is connected to Funen by the Great Belt Bridge and to Sweden by the Oresund Bridge. ... it to Denmark, and it became the island of Zealand
