The top headline of today’s Chongqing Morning Post is for a story saying that none of the victims of the syringe needle attacks in Urumqi have been infected with HIV or other communicable diseases.

The large photo shows China’s women’s volleyball team in their losing match in the Asian women’s volleyball championship final that took place yesterday in Hanoi, Vietnam. They lost 1:3 to Thailand.

Women’s volleyball has had a special place in many Chinese people’s hearts since the 1980s when China’s women’s volleyball team won five World Cup titles as well as the 1984 Olympic gold, so this loss comes as a disappointment.
