  • Passengers riding a public bus pass an advertisement for a clothing brand in eastern Beijing October 14. The Beijing bus service is one of the cheapest in the world, a monthly ticket costing only 15 yuan (about $2.00) for unlimited travel. Earlier this year, the bus company said it was seeking a stock market listing in China, with approval being given by the Beijing government and expected from the China Securities Regulatory Commission. What is likely to be listed, however, is not the Beijing Public Transport Company, but the Beijing Bus Stock Company which includes a fleet of superior quality buses, many donated by Hong Kong firms.

  • Maji, Yunnan, China - 19 JAN 2006 - A team of workers conduct tests to determine whether their location would be suitable to build a dam on the Nu River Yunnan Province. Secrecy continues to surround the controversial plan to build a series of big dams on the Nu River in Yunnan province. Now, Chinese media reports suggest the project is set to be rammed through without environmental-impact documents being made public or open hearings held, as required by law. Beginning high on the Tibetan plateau, the Nu River passes through southwest China before entering Burma, where it is known as the Thanlwin (in Burmese) or the Salween (in English). The 2,800-kilometre river forms Burma's border with Thailand for 120 km, and eventually empties into the Andaman Sea. The free-flowing status of the Nu, one of only two major rivers in China uninterrupted by dams, is under serious threat from all three of the countries it passes through.

  • A Statue of Chairman Mao Zedong in central Shenyang, China. Regarded as one of the most important figures in modern world history,[1] and named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, Mao is still a controversial figure today, over thirty years after his death. He is generally held in high regard in China where he is often portrayed as a great revolutionary and strategist who eventually defeated Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in the Chinese Civil War, and transformed the country into a major power through his policies. However, many of Mao's socio-political programs such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution are blamed by critics from both within and outside China for causing severe damage to the culture, society, economy and foreign relations of China, as well as the deaths of 44.5 to 72 million people.

  • Liuku, Yunnan, China - 17 JAN 2006 - A surveying team from a Kunming power company call in results as they check out the site for a future dam on the Nu Jiang River. A leaked Chinese government report, recently cleared it to press ahead with the main parts of a plan to build a cascade of 13 dams and power stations down the gorges that line the Nu River, in the mountains where Burma, Tibet and the Chinese province of Yunnan meet. Until the 1990s, the rivers were largely untouched. But soaring demand has led to an abundance of dam-building. China already has the most extensive hydro-electric power industry in the world, providing 20 per cent of its electricity.
