Xiamen Business News calls itself "the top metropolitan business paper on the west side of the Strait." Indeed, the two headlines at the top of today's paper have to do with business: • Sinopec increased supply of diesel and fuel in Fujian. The current fuel shortage will be relieved soon. The front page picture is of famous dancer Yang Liping. She was a guest of Xiamen Business News yesterday, where she chatted with with thousands of netizens using QQ. The red quote reads: "I like eating free-range chicken to keep in shape." Other headlines: • Xiamen Business News is recruiting future journalists at Xiamen University; • Peng Deng, who raped three young girls in June of this year, was sentenced to death by the Xiamen intermediate court. |

+ 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.

Comments on Yang Liping's fitness tips
I thought Yang Liping only ate fruit? Obviously I'm utterly misinformed. Certainly worth watching her dance though.
I am switching to free range chicken....
