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).
