China’s worst rail disaster for more than a decade occurred in the early morning of April 28, when an express passenger train travelling from Beijing to the coastal city of Qingdao in Shandong province, jumped tracks and slammed into an oncoming train. The accident claimed the lives of at least 72 people. Another 416 were injured, with many in a critical condition.
The last train crash on a similar scale took place in 1997 when 126 people died in Hunan province. Like the industrial accidents that kill tens of thousands of Chinese workers each year, the causes of the latest tragedy are rooted in the enormous stresses produced by China’s sweatshop economy and the government’s bureaucratic planning.

Articles :: English teacher invited to enrich team's preparations
Genova -- Jan 11, 2008
As a way to enrich players' Olympic preparations and intensify their mental conditioning, China's diving team, dubbed the "Dream Team" due to its overwhelming dominance in the sport, has invited an English teacher to give language lessons, organize speech contests and set up a yoga class during the team's winter session in Jinan, Shandong province.
"We are aiming to keep them healthy both physically and mentally," said team manager Zhou Jihong. "Giving English lessons is also not just improving their language. We hope they will pay extra attention to something else. It will help release the pressure on their shoulders."
The players are now fighting for the final spots during one of the Olympic qualifying competitions, which started yesterday in Jinan.
Zhou said the list will not be determined immediately but the performances during the competitions will be put into consideration.

Former Anhui official goes on trial (Xinhua)
Updated: 2007-12-05 11:41
JINAN -- A former official from east China's Anhui Province went on trial on Wednesday morning at a local city court in Shandong Province on bribery charges.
Court proceedings against He Minxu, former vice governor of Anhui Province, began at 8:30 a.m. at the Intermediate People's Court of Linyi City, Shandong Province.
He, 52 and a native of Yishui, Shandong, held many official posts, including deputy chief of the labor bureau of Zhejiang Province, Party secretary of Lishui Prefecture, also in Zhejiang, and Party boss of Chizhou Prefecture in Anhui Province. He was promoted to the post of deputy governor of Anhui in May 2005.
The Standing Committee of Anhui Provincial People's Congress decided to remove him from the post of deputy governor in August 2006 out of concern that He might have committed crimes.
Public prosecutors on Wednesday alleged that from 1991 to May 2006, during He's tenure in various posts -- as deputy labor bureau chief of Zhejiang, Lishui and Chizhou prefectural Party boss, as well as deputy governor of Anhui -- He solicited bribes totaling 8.41 million yuan (about 1.12 million US dollars) from 27 organizations and individuals.
It was not immediately known how long the trial would last.
