Spiderman in China again

Beijing Youth Daily
November 19, 2007

The top headline of today's Beijing Youth Daily announces that citizens can make inter-bank deposits or withdrawals. In other words, a Bank of China account book can be used to withdraw money from a branch of the Agricultural Bank of China. Most banks will assess a 1% handling fee.

The front page picture shows French climber Alain Robert, the famous "Spiderman," climbing Tianmendong Mountain in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province. He spent about 40 minutes climbing up to a 200-meter cliff.

Other headlines:

• Premier Wen Jiabao signed an agreement yesterday with Singapore Premier Lee Hsien Loong to enhance mutually benificial bilateral cooperation;

• The China National Space Administration said that the Chang'e moon probe is operating normally. Although the article does not mention any specific problems, it may be intended to quash recent rumors that mission control lost contact with the spacecraft earlier this month;

• World number one tennis player Roger Federer won the championship again yesterday. This is the fourth time he has claimed the Shanghai Master Cup in five years.
