Tourist attacked by giant panda in Beijing zooPosted by Eric Mu, January 8, 2009 5:01 PM
A man was attacked by a giant panda at the Beijing Zoo, after he climbed into its enclosure despite the warning sign yesterday, today's The Beijing News reports. The man whose name is Zhang Xiao was trying to pick up his son's toy panda which had fallen inside the panda pen. Zhang was chased by the panda and bit several times on his left leg before zoo keepers rescued him. He suffered several injuries including deep cuts. The newspaper article also says the panda Gu Gu had previously attacked two people who had tried to approach him. Also: ● Beijing has suspended transport of live poultry after a woman from Chaoyang District died of bird flu on January 5. ● China's three telecommunication operators, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom have received 3G mobile licenses issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. ● High quality counterfeit banknotes that can even trick some detectors have been found in various provinces in China. It is suspected that the counterfeit money is being shipped from Taiwan to the Mainland. Links and Sources

Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

Was he from Henan like the last guy? At least he didn't bite the panda back like my drunken coprovincial did.
