The Beijing News
February 8, 2010

The top headline of today's Beijing News is about new standards for property management companies to levy management fees on residents. The measures hope to alleviate the tensions between greedy management companies that try to gouge their captive customers.

The photo however sets the tone for the news in China for the next week or two: Spring Festival news. The photo shows a fireworks sales point in Beijing.

The fireworks craziness - to celebrate the Chinese new year - starts today and won't end until Lantern Festival (元宵节) which this year falls on February 28.
