November 28, 2008

In October, a woman who had been jailed for 295 days after she was accused of extortion by computer manufacturer ASUS made national news by announcing she'd sue both the company and the state.

Today, the Beijing Times reports that Huang Jing has received 29,197.14 yuan in compensation from the government for wrongful imprisonment. Huang told the media that although she is pleased with the government's decision, which demonstrates her innocence, she is still not satisfied. However, she has not decided whether or not she will appeal.

For further background on the case, see this article.

Also:

● Beijing Hong Kong Subway (京港地铁), a joint venture formed by Hong Kong MTR and Beijing's BIIC, won the operate contract for the Daxing Subway Line, which is still under construction.

● 125 people were killed in yesterday's terrorist attack in Mumbai, India. There have been no Chinese victims reported so far. Many of today's newspapers featured front-page headlines and photos about the attacks.

● Two horse thieves were hanged themselves after losing their way in the mountains outside of Beijing on November 14, three days after they stole two pure-bred horses from a breeding farm in Yanqing District, killing two people in the process. The two stolen horses, believed to be worth more than one million yuan each, were also found dead. The police determined that the horses died from exhaustion.
