Woman in Beijing dies of bird fluPosted by Eric Mu, January 7, 2009 2:27 PM
 The Beijing News January 7, 2009 The Beijing News reports that a 19-year-old woman who had been hospitalized since December 27 was pronounced dead on January 5. A postmortem test conducted by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention revealed the presence in the deceased of the virus H5N1, known as avian flu. According to Xinhua, the government has slaughtered all poultry within 10 km of Sanjianfang Village in Beijing's Chaoyang District, where the woman had lived. Also: ● In 2007, the company Beijing Guge (北京谷歌) sued Google China for trade name infringement, alleging that it had sole rights to the name 谷歌. After the court dismissed its claim, the Beijing company was countersued by Google China. A court in Beijing's Haidian District recently ruled that Guge had to change its name and pay Google China 100,000 yuan in compensation. The Beijing company registered its name on April 12, 2006, the same day that Google announced that its Chinese trade name would be 谷歌. ● The Chinese navy carried out its first escort mission, protecting four commercial vessels in troubled Somalian waters yesterday. Foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said yesterday that the fleet would provide escort services to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan vessels in addition to those from the mainland. Links and Sources
