Today's hot news: toiletsPosted by Eric Mu, July 20, 2004 4:21 PM
 Many of today's Beijing newpapers are covering public toilets: the Beijing government has announced a new policy specifying that toilets in hotels, restaurants and other such facilities should be open to the public, to ensure that you can find a toilet within 8 minutes walk of any place in the city. The lead headlines on the front pages of The Beijing News and Beijing Daily Messenger both announce this new policy. Other news of the day: The Beijing government continues banning various websites. Ten porn sites and eight websites offering fake academic degrees were banned yesterday. Meanwhile, on the kosher side of Internet town, three big portal websites, Sina.com, Sohu.com and Tom.com sohu.com expressed their desire to destory porn sites, according to a Beijing Morning Post report. So stuff like this on Tom.com doesn't count as porn. The old farts certainly are getting a little more broad-minded. |
