 Beijing Daily Messenger March 7, 2008 A photo exhibition highlighting the recovery effort in the wake of this winter's snow storms is being held at the China Millennium Monument in Beijing. The exhibit will continue for ten days. On the front page of today's Beijing Daily Messenger, a visitor examines a photo of a crowd of stranded travelers. The storms were also an issue at yesterday's press conferences; see China Media Project for more details. Today's top headline concerns a press conference of the of the 11th National People's Congress. Ministers from the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and the National Administration of Development and Reform took questions from journalists. During the press conference, the ministers discussed a 56-billion-yuan investment in medical and social security reform, denied accusations that they have used macro-economic controls inconsistently, and revealed that trials of individual pension insurance accounts will be expanded. Other headlines: • A new regulation from the Beijing Bureau of Public Health will use a scoring system to control medical malpractice at local hospitals. More serious violations are given higher point scores; hospitals that accrue 12 points will be closed for inspection. • According to Forbes, Warren Buffet has overtaken Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world.
