Police arrest 60 security guards at MOMA apartments in BeijingPosted by Banyue, March 17, 2008 6:05 PM
 Beijing Times March 17, 2008 Wen Jiabao was approved to be premier of China's State Council in Beijing Sunday morning. This is his second five-year term as Premier Minister. Like the Beijing Times' front page reproduced here, most Chinese dailies feature Wen's photo on their front page today, showing him shaking hands with President Hu Jintao. But one of the other headlines is more interesting: On March 16, hundreds of police encircled MOMA (万国城), a well-known high-end apartment complex in Beijing, arresting all security guards there, about 60 people. According to the article, the security guards were suspected of stealing a thousand fire hydrants and committing break-in robberies. There's more on this story on Xinhua here (in Chinese). Another headline worth noting: Some parts of Beijing will extend central heating to residents for an extra week after the usual switch off date of March 15.

Comments on Police arrest 60 security guards at MOMA apartments in BeijingI live at Moma and did not notice any rounding up of security guards--in fact, the same guys manning the doors to my building for the last week (they change it up rather frequently) have been there since the 16th. Moma management hasn't put up an notices, either. |
