Female Chinese space pioneers?

CHINA plans to recruit(招募) women astronauts thanks to the lobbying(游說) of the leading women’s organization. Gu Xiulian, president of the All-China Women’s Federation(ACWF) (全國婦聯(lián)), said on Saturday that she put forward a proposal that women be trained for space missions after the manned space flight last October. And it was accepted by the central authorities, local media reported. But the plan to recruit female astronauts has yet to be worked out, according to sources close to the astronaut-training programme.

No need to fear your licence plate

CAR licence plates in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, will not have the number “four” from this month on ---a move that has led to heated discussion among officials, schools and residents.
