The picture on the front page of today’s The Beijing News is quite bloody: a marten (a relative of the weasel) was skinned alive by a villager in Hebei province. More than 60% of wild fur in the Chinese market is from this small village. Skinning wild animals is a common phenomenon there.
The leading headline is: Beijing 7th Ring Road may be built as “U” shape. For more on this scintillating topic, see this earlier Danwei post.
