Boy
lost in Beijing Zoo
Was Found in Shanghai Zoo
A
4-year old boy with hearing and speech
disabilities went to the Beijing
zoo with his parents
on October 4. After a short while he
wandered off and disappeared into the
crowd.
His
distraught parents immediately reported
police and the search was conducted in no
time, in the both real world and the
virtual world of the Internet.
The
online posts about the leads poured in,
which had engaged more and more people in
the search. 4 days later, the boy was
found in a Shanghai zoo.
As
for how he went missing in the Beijing
zoo then reappeared in the Shanghai zoon,
no one can tell. So far, It’s a myth.
China’s
GDP
Ranking
China
is now the fourth biggest economy in the
world according to its GDP, but when
average per capita is concerned, with
1703 USD pc. - about 4 percent of that of
us and Japan - China only ranks 110th.
As
for its future economic development, a
senior official with China’s National
Development and Reform Commission
predicts that in 2010, China could reach
3.2 trillion USD, which means the average
per capital would hit 2,400 USD. Still a
bit long way to go to catch up with the
economically most developed nations.
China's
Underbelly
Out
with Villas, In with Flats
Over
the next five year, Shanghai will stop
further allocating land for high-end
villas and mansions, and the housing
projects involving excessively large
living areas or extremely low building
densities are also likely to be turned
down. Instead, it will make the
development of economic apartments for
middle and low-income earners its
priority.
A
similar plan has been revealed for
Beijing. By 2008, the Chinese capital
will complete 110,000 sets of economic
flats with total floor area of 8 million
sqms.
Guangzhou
follows suit and plans to provide the
residents with 110,000 sets of affordable
units.
