 Topic1 NDRC lifts requirements for licensing1 of production & sale of saltChina's top economic planner has revoked2 administrative3 rules for the licensing of exclusive rights to produce and sell salt. Subsequent interpretations4 of the annulment5 indicate the central government finally releases its ironclad control on the salt market and therefore allowing social capital to enter the market.

However, in the most recent statement, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) clarifies that it merely says the central government is giving more powers to the regional governments, but the 2000-year-old system of holding exclusive rights to produce and sale salt is not to be abolished.
What is this annulment about?
Topic2 Hong Kong Mainland In Dispute on Toddleer Peeing IncidentA viral video of a Chinese mainland mother defending her toddler for urinating on a Hong Kong street has reignited debate between mainlanders and Hong Kongers. It becomes a flash point in already tense cross-border relations.
The online uproar6 started when Phoenix7 TV posted a 5 minute lone8 video on its weibo. Let's have a listen. (clip)What exactly happened?
Topic3 Driving License9 Points TraffickingChina has stepped up punishment on traffic violations10. Running a red light will cost drivers 6 points, covering license plate costs 12 points, speeding costs 6-12 points, checking mobile phones while driving costs 2 points….And every driver only has 12 points to lose every year. Once a driver lost all his points, he will have to take a 7-day training and pass a driving test to regain11 his driving license.
In order to avoid the training and examination, some drivers seek help from illegal driving license point traffickers.
How does the trafficking go?
Topic4 Wedding Entry FeeIn China, a decent hotel is probably the most commonly seen venue12 for weddings. However, wedding planners are now complaining about a Beijing hotel of charging an entry fee.
What exactly is the complaint?
Topic5 Top ten complaints of Chinese menAs the saying goes, being a man is hard, and being a woman is much harder. But in today's China, being a man is really hard. This is according to men, of course. Some even say they would rather be a woman in their next life, or live in an Islamic country, or Africa.
What's your personal feeling about such complaints? Would you trade your life as a man?
