The top headline of today's Xinjiang Metropolis Daily reads: "One day's salary can warm the poor for the whole winter." The article calls on every government and business employee province-wide to donate to poor citizens who are badly in need of assistance. The front page picture shows SWAT team members in Urumqi showing off their new patrol equipment. According to article, first aid bags and insulated kettles have been added for the first time. Other headlines: • Yesterday, the Ministry of Public Security publicized the names and pictures of 4 wanted criminals. It will reward people who provide information with up to 10,000 yuan; • Urumuqi bus line 528A adjusted its stops yesterday, said the local Traffic Management Bureau. • A thousand-year-old tomb at the common boundary between Heshuo county and Tuokexun County was dug up this summer.

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
