Today's top headline in the Beijing Times announces a notice from the NDRC that says local market regulation offices will inspect the prices of goods during the coming holiday (Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day's Golden Week). Inspectors will pay particular attention to the price of moon cakes. People who violate regulations or raise prices indiscriminately will be dealt with severely.

The front page photo shows a hospital carrying out operations for near-sighted teachers, free of charge. The initiative was part of the activity surrounding Teachers' Day, which occurred yesterday in China.

Other headlines on the left:

  • This was Beijing's hottest summer since 2001. Average temperature reached 26.2℃, 1.2℃ higher than usual;
  • Nawaz Sharif, former prime minister of Pakistan, returned from seven years of exile and was deported by Pakistani authorities just hours later;
  • Germany beat Argentina in 11:0 in a Women's World Cup opener in Shanghai.
