China Daily article

My newest (okay, first) freelance story for China Daily can be found here.

Elsewhere featured in the Wednesday, August 19 edition of China Daily: a page 1 story about how Australia has caused a souring of relations with China by "granting a visa to Rebiya Kadeer, the mastermind of the July 5 Urumqi riot."

-A brief entitled "Brat held after smashing house, injuring mother"

-An article about a boy who has suffered liver and kidney failure after being beaten at his "Internet Addiction Boot Camp."

-A story about Xu Zhijong, a prominent human rights lawyer known for representing families of children killed by tainted milk powder. He seems to have been disappeared by the govt. shortly after the riots in Urumqi. Now the article reports that he has been arrested on "tax evasion charges." The article ends with this: "Information about Xu has been blocked on the Internet yesterday as the search for "Xu Zhiyong [Chinese characters]" on Google.cn and Baidu, two major search engines, generated: 'Your search results don't conform to related laws and policy.'"

My article shares a page with a brief about Britney Spears (whose boyfriend apparently dumped her) and another about Miley Cyrus (who has been fighting with her ex-boyfriend via obnoxious Twitter postings).
