At 7 feet 7 inches, 396 pounds, and a shoe size (EUR) of 78, Yao attracts a lot of attention. This "woman giant" makes her living as a circus performer. Her boss forces her to perform despite her physical ailments, and he even mistreated and bullied her when she requested to go to the hospital for a physical examination.

Gimme a break. The Chinese can't be trusted any more than Westerners. Who has verified these measurements? Also, I think it is tragic what the Chinese did to De-Fen Yao. They denied her the treatment they KNEW she needed. I wonder if they did it purposely because they believed they had the "world's tallest". Isn't it interesting that they also claim to have the world's tallest man (up until Leonid) and the worlds shortest man?
