Wild snow leopardsPosted by Joel Martinsen, March 11, 2008 6:41 PM
 Beijing Evening News March 11, 2008 Experts met in Beijing today to discuss the plight of the snow leopard, an endangered animal found in the mountains of Central Asia. Of particular concern was video footage recently released of what was purported to be the first wild snow leopard found in China. The experts at the meeting determined that the video, shot in Sichuan, was of a genuine, albeit old and infirm, snow leopard. Today's Beijing Evening News has a headline for this story in its sidebar; see the Snow Leopard Trust for more details about the conference. The paper's top headline today announces that the State Council has released the details of its institutional restructuring. The government will form five "super ministries" to increase efficiency and cut down on corruption. China Daily has more information. Today's eyecatching image is of Xie Zhenhua, vice chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Zhang Lijun, Deputy Director of the State Environment Protection Administration, at a press conference this morning. Beneath that is the big news of the day: February's CPI was up 8.7%, the quickest rise in 11 years. Like many papers, Beijing Evening News runs an Olympic countdown clock on the front page. Today marks 150 days until the Games begin.

Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

+ Lost in Beijing finally gets killed (2008.01): SARFT (广电总局) brings down the hammer on Lost in Beijing (苹果), one year after its offense. + People: Tina Liu (2004.09): Tina Liu is Hong Kong's most prominent image stylist, but her mercurial career has involved her in almost every aspect of Hong Kong's media world. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.
