 Modern Express January 31, 2008 The top headline in today's Modern Express announces that the State Council has established a disaster relief center in response to the current winter storms. According to an address by Zhang Guobao, vice director of the National Development and Reform Committee, the center will improve the response to future crises as well. The front page photo shows an armored vehicle breaking up the ice on the surface of a highway (which the paper does not identify). According to a related article, Hunan Province has dispatched about 100,000 soldiers to assist local authorities in their efforts to recover from the storms. Other headlines:

Comments on Tanks on the highwayOther headlines: The average monthly pension of retirees in Nanjing has been increased to 1,368 yuan i read the title of this news, actually the pension it mentions is only the fee for enterprises' employees. i think it's worth mentioning, cuz in China, for retirees, altother they got several kinds of pensions according to the jobs they took be4 the retirement. besides the pensions given to retirees of the enterprises, china also give pensions to the retirees of the government institutions, also the civil servants, etc. one problem in china now is ppl got different pension expenditures. Compared to the civil servants, the workers who take jobs in enterprises ofter got lower fees. and the government (national or local) recently always promulgated some reforms to try to solve this relatively big gap. the pension system played an important role in promoting development of reform and securing social stability. i think we all know that. hope that helps Thanks, Gr8 Wei*2. That makes things much clearer. Posted by:
