Xinjiang terrorist cell leaders identifiedPosted by Alice Xin Liu on Friday, June 25, 2010 at 4:41 PM
 Dongguan Times, June 25, 2010 As with most newspapers around the country, the Dongguan Times goes with the two 'ringleaders' of the Xinjiang terrorist cell, Abdurixit Ablet, 42, and Imin Semai'er, 33. But the main picture, of the floods sweeping Southern China, has the headline (in white): Violent storm paralyzes city. The subtitle reads: "When the violent storm was at its height yesterday, all 36 road entryways in the inner city were affected. This has had the worst effect on traffic we've seen this year." The Dongguan Daily, however, makes a more dramatic front page for the arrests, choosing to put the ringleaders in super-imposed handcuffs.  Dongguan Daily, June 25, 2010 Other news on this front page include reporting on Australia's first female Prime Minister and the news that the presence of one person's ID card was enough for checking into a hotel, after a story in the Southern Metropolis Daily said that couples wanting to register at a hotel must provide proof that they are married. Grandpa Wen also peeks from the top right corner － visiting the victims of the flooding in a fetching anorak. Links and Sources

Classic Danwei posts
+ 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.
