Beijing Government announced that the city planning body will be cautiously studying efficient measures to control the boom in vehicle ownership and to ease continuing traffic pressures, including license plate control, in October.

But an unexpected result happened after news release. More than 1,289,000 cars, multi-purpose vehicles, sport-utility vehicles and minivans were sold in November, up 27 percent from a year earlier and 10.5 percent from October, reported by China Daily.

Surprisingly, as of late November, automobile ownership in Beijing stood at 4.67 million, and there are 6.19 million registered drivers in the city, according to the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau.

I think, in fact, the key is to not only develop public transport, but also control the booming population.

CBN (Chinese:第一财经), aka Chinese Business Network, is the unique all-media business news provider which be under the management of SMG, a short for Shanghai Media Group, the China’s No.2 multimedia television and radio broadcaster.

CBN covers the major fields of China’s business information through 7 ways that are CBN TV(China’s most professional business TV channel), CBN Daily(China’s most trusted financial daily), CBN Radio(China’s most professional business radio), CBN Weekly(China’s largest-circulation business magazine), CBN Website, CBN Research Institute and CBN Forum.

Previously, CBN long focused on reaching wealthy viewers in Shanghai and its surrounding areas. In order to become the largest all-media financial and business information service group in China, CBN’s television programs succeeded in covering more than 400 million mostly-urban audiences across China in cooperation with Ningxia Satellite TV Channel.

Actually, the cooperation partnership between CBN and Ningxia Satellite TV Station will not only help to further promote the strategic development of CBN, but also contribute to better service for the development of Ningxia and western area.

Personally, I consider that CBN is better than CCTV Economic Channel(Chinese:中央电视台经济频道) because of its viewpoints and professional. Boss Town (Chinese:波士堂), Brain Storm (Chinese:头脑风暴) and Managing China (Chinese:中国经营者) are my favourite programs.

If you’re living in China, you know, you will not be able to buy foreign newspapers from kiosk unless you subscribe to them through local foreign languages bookstore(Chinese:外文书店) or China International Book Trading Corporation(Chinese:中国国际图书贸易总公司).

But you still have a choice, with China’s internationalization, the number of domestic English-language newspapers are constantly emerging. Unlike imports, you can buy them in most of cities in China, it’s the most important, I think.

Now, reading English-language newspapers in China is no longer just for foreigners who resides in China and high-end nationals, for example, diplomats and governmental policy makers, but also ordinary Chinese people.

Here is my collection, maybe they can help you understand more about China.

Joichi Ito（Japanese: 伊藤穰一）, one of strong leaders and advocates of the Web2.0 Technologies in Japan. Here is his weblog: joi.ito.com, where he regularly shares his thoughts and intellectual to bring many fresh opinions from a number of angles in internet field. It’s really pretty good, I promise.

Recently, Beijing Public Security Bureau Changping Branch (Chinese:北京市公安局昌平分局) issue a poster in order to prevent criminals from defrauding through text messages, telephones, mails and websites to keep your funds safe.

For example:
Case 1: Please take good care of your payment while you are shopping online.
Case 2: Please take good care of your transfer when you receive text messages that tell you won the lottery, tax rebate, etc.
Case 3: Please take good care of your transfer when you receive phone calls for help from him/her who pretend to be your friends whom have not seen for years.

Anyway, please bear in mind that there is no such thing as a free launch.

The big city today is losing its attraction because of its high living costs, saturated competition, less competitive salaries than before, terrible traffic and pollution, reported by People’s Daily Online reported.

ZOU Bin, my friend from I was a child, however, is hesitating whether to go to Beijing after his graduation. He has been in Beijing last week for his interview, but I can see in his eyes that he so wants to be there during a meal.

We drift from our hometowns in small cities to major metropolises in search of bigger dreams, or a better life. In fact, the capital’s glamour still remains to many of us.

In China, when a software programmer or developer just turned 30 years old, a sharp question he or she will be facing: “Are you ready to change?”. It implicates that if you don’t prepare to change your roles in work, for example, not longer revel in programming, you will lose more promotion opportunities in the future, even be eliminated.

Whether you like or not, it is not good idea to be engaged in programming as a technologist all your life. How you make your choice like a sharpened sword hanging directly above everyone’s head.

The deep cause, it is a ultimate goal for every intellectual that become a official or a manger who has power, even a bit, in Confucian societies, I think.

I have turned 30 years old, but I am at a loss what to do next.

As I said before, it seems that the age of mass inflation is coming in China. I received an SMS message yesterday, and the main contents are as following.
