Topic1 Yu E Bao Called Financial ParasiteRecently, a CCTV financial commentator 2 named Niu Wenxin launches a one-man campaign against online monetary 3 fund Yu'ebao. He calls this product the financial parasite 1 sucking blood from banks.
Does his point of view make sense?
Topic2 China should reconsider death penalty listA renowned 4 law professor in China suggests that the country should consider dropping death penalty for economy-related offences such as fraudulent fund-raising.
According to director of Criminal Law Department of the Institute of Law, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Liu Renwen, more than half of a total of 55 crimes punishable by death in China are non-violent offences.
What's death penalty for in China?
Topic3 Fried Chicken Occupies Ancient AlleywayPresident Xi Jinping is showing up at one of Beijing's most famous hutongs Nan Luo Gu Xiang for an inspection 5 today.
Photos of him at the ancient cultural landmark 6 are appearing on the internet, many posted by enthusiastic onlookers 7.
Nan Luo Guxiang is much more than a cultural landmark now. It attracts tourists from home and abroad, as well as shops selling snacks such as fried chicken.
The number of these shops is perhaps a little too many that Nanluoguxiang now smells like fried chicken according to some tourists.
I wonder whether President Xi went to grab a bite of either fried chicken or stinky tofu during his inspection tour to Nan Luo Gu Xiang. Many others who go there do. Is Nanluoguxiang really that infamous 8 for an over-abundance of snack shops?
Topic4 Kangmei Pharmaceutical 9 Co. Ltd. takes over 81 hospital pharmaciesHospitals profiting from the sale of premium-priced medicine has been a long-time complaint. And there have been calls to separate hospital-run pharmacies 10 from hospitals themselves. Recently an attempt to have companies manage hospital pharmacies raised a few eyebrows 11.
What is the cooperation like?
Topic5 Doctor-Patient Agreement on Refusing HongbaoStarting from May, when patients go to hospitals for surgeries, they have to sign a mutual 12 no-bribery 13 agreement for their hospitalization. Under the agreement, the patients should not pay extra to the doctors while the doctors should not accept patients' red envelops 14.
Will this new policy reduce bribery, and help ease the tension between patients and doctors?
