Beijing is China's wealthiest town, according to HurunPosted by Eric Mu on Friday, April 2, 2010 at 11:51 AM
Beijing ranks on top of the list of mainland China's provincial-level municipalities for having the highest number of richest people, according to a study conducted by Hurun Research Institute. Hurun Research Institute is a Shanghai-based business consulting firm that has been releasing annual reports on the distribution of wealth in China since 1999. According to its latest study, there are 151,000 individuals living in Beijing whose personal wealth exceeds 10 million RMB, which makes the capital city China's richest town. Right on the heel of Beijing, Guangdong Province holds the runner-up ranking with its 145,000 decamillionaires. Shanghai, China's most dynamic commercial and industrial center, placed third. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Beijing is China's wealthiest town, according to Hurun
I think people have known this for a while.
And what is up with Danwei featuring a mail order bride banner ad ? LOL. I mean I understand they pay the bills, but really...
The ads are served by an outside provider, Tom. If you send us a URL or a screenshot of an offensive ad, we can ad it to a blacklist (there are a number of bride/escort services there already), but other than that we don't have any control over what ads show on Danwei.
