Qingdao Morning News
September 19, 2007
Qingdao Morning News is a metropolitan tabloid published by the Qingdao Daily Newspaper Group. Its headlines today are mostly for local news stories.

The paper's top headline today announces that Typhoon Wipha, which just came ashore on China's east coast this morning, will hit Qingdao, Shandong Province, tomorrow. The local weather bureau forecasts a downpour and warns citizens to take care in the bad weather.

Most of the other stories on the front page are :
• The cap on home loans in Qingdao has been raised to 200,000 yuan from 150,000 yuan;
• People rush to buy Haier's new limited-edition air conditioner;
• A village government in Huangshan, Anhui Province, spent four million yuan on 4500 square meters of office space. The space will be shared by eight officials; the village's 1000 residents have complained that it's a bit extravagant. (link)
• A British student is suspected of plotting terrorist acts in Canada, including a bomb attack on a shopping mall and the decapitation of Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Interestingly, in lieu of a front-page photo, there is only a half-page-size advertisement for Tsingtao Beer. Perhaps they don't call Qingdao "the beer capital of China" for nothing.
