As with most newspapers around the country, the Dongguan Times goes with the two ‘ringleaders’ of the Xinjiang terrorist cell, Abdurixit Ablet, 42, and Imin Semai’er, 33.
But the main picture, of the floods sweeping Southern China, has the headline (in white): Violent storm paralyzes city. The subtitle reads: “When the violent storm was at its height yesterday, all 36 road entryways in the inner city were affected. This has had the worst effect on traffic we’ve seen this year.”
The Dongguan Daily, however, makes a more dramatic front page for the arrests, choosing to put the ringleaders in super-imposed handcuffs.
Other news on this front page include reporting on Australia’s first female Prime Minister and the news that the presence of one person’s ID card was enough for checking into a hotel, after a story in the Southern Metropolis Daily said that couples wanting to register at a hotel must provide proof that they are married.
Grandpa Wen also peeks from the top right corner － visiting the victims of the flooding in a fetching anorak.
