Beijing just opened up its new airport terminal – world’s largest and most advanced airport building. It’s not only a great technological advancement but a great passenger experience. The opening last month was announced by a group 10 musicians that played string instruments at an opening ceremony attended by Chinese officials. “It is the epitome of China’s fast-growing economy and portrays our strong state power,” said Zhang Guobao, deputy director of National Development and Reform Commission, the country’s main economic planning agency.
Chinese police have shut down a Web site that sold real-time porn and arrested 33 people, according to the news Wednesday, part of a campaign which led to the shut-down of 44,000 Web sites and arrest of 868 people last year. China launched a crackdown on online pornography and “unhealthy” Web content after Chinese President Hu Jintao said the country’s sprawling Internet posed a threat to social stability. The site was based in Taiwan and the customers watched pornographic performances that were staged in China, Xinhua news agency said. “This operation started up in the second half of 2006 and took in more than 1 million yuan ($137,000) in just three months,” it said.
