Theft, brawling and new military uniformPosted by Eric Mu, November 30, 2004 2:32 PM
Besides important economic and political news such as Japan wanting to stop aid to China, the words in the headline of this post are the most popular topics in Beijing's media today. According to Beijing Daily Messenger , a thief with a pistol was arrested only 20 minutes after he robbed a company near Beijing's famous Wangfujing shopping street. The thief had been an employee of the company; he stole RMB 18,501. (The pictured front page shows the arrested thief.) Airlines in China have been a source of much bad news lately. Just this month, two boys climbed onto a plane in Kunming airport; one fell off as the plane was taking off and died. The other survived a one hour flight hanging on to some part of the undercarriage. The airliner crash in Baotou killed 55. As a result, there have been many news items about planes discovering technical problems and returning to airports immediately after take-off. Other hot non-violent news is the new Chinese People's Liberation Army's winter uniform. Finally we say goodbye with the old uniform which has been around for 30 years. The picture below shows the new uniform: (army on the left, air force on the right).

Classic Danwei posts
+ The top Chinese books in 2007 (2008.02): China Reading Journal (中华读书报), Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), and City Pictorial (城市画报) choose mainland China's top books for 2007. + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.
