 Topic1 New urban dwellers1 surveyAs China further urbanizes, Cheng Shi Xin Yi Min, or literally2 new urbanites, are attracting more social attention.

A recently released survey shows that new members joining big Chinese cities are basing their happiness on three dearest things in their life: an apartment, a husband or wife, and bank savings3.
Why do we care?
Topic2 Nation to build giant central credit databaseA plan to establish the country's first personal credit database has been submitted to the State Council for review.
China will soon release an outline for building a government-led national social credit system to assess individuals and organizations on areas ranging from tax payment to judicial4 credibility.
How much impact will this credit system have on each and every one of us?
What is it?
Topic3 Should More Notorious Drivers Be Banned for Life?
A man who gained national infamy5 for fatally hitting a pedestrian with his car in 2009 was found to have been in car crash recently.
Hu Bin6, who caused the death of a 25-year-old pedestrian in 2009 while speeding, reportedly was involved in another traffic accident possibly caused by misoperation in Hangzhou.
Hu Bin's latest accident stirs bad memories of his fatal reckless driving five years ago, and has sparked public calls to ban him from driving for the rest of his life.
What has Hu Bin done?
Topic4 No Need to Write Undergraduate Thesis?
Senior college students now have about one month to go until their graduation and now they are busy preparing their thesis and oral defense7. However, several professors and educators suggest that theses for most undergraduate students are unnecessary and should be canceled.
Why are the experts saying so?
Topic5 Graduates pick work instead of taking advanced degreesNowadays, more college graduates in China are opting8 for work experience instead of advanced degrees, according to a survey on Zhaopin.com. Analysts9 say the pragmatic approach, coupled with a record number of students graduating from college, is expected to intensify10 competition in the job market,.
Why is there such a trend?
