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.
