Government embarrassment-Media Watch-October 20-BONTV Posted: 21 Oct 2012 08:05 PM PDT Government embarrassment-Media Watch-October 20-BONTV Go to bon.tv to watch the full episode Two village officials who rented part of a government building to a counterfeiter of Louis Vuitton products in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province have been given reprimands, said local officials Thursday. Law enforcement officials said more than 7000 LV bags and wallets, worth more than 25 million yuan ($3.99 million), were found in the government building following a raid on July 12. The city commission for disciplinary inspection of Zhanjiang said local police and local commerce and industry officials were tipped off by residents. The commission said Fu Chaowen and Zhou Feiqian, who are Party committee officials from the village of Yuanfa, have been given warnings but are not likely to face further punishments as there is no evidence they knew the building's tenant was making fake goods. The commission said a local police officer talked the local Party committee into renting the second and the third floor of the government building to a leather goods maker for just 10000 yuan a year. Village officials helped the counterfeiter to officially register as a leather goods manufacturer and the rent was noted as "government income" on the village's accounts, according to the commission's official statement. "The police officer is still being investigated by the commission and the police for trademark infringement," Gao Xiaoyuan, a media officer with the commission, told the Global Times Thursday.

Understanding poverty-Media Watch-October 19-BONTV Posted: 21 Oct 2012 07:33 PM PDT Understanding poverty-Media Watch-October 19-BONTV Go to bon.tv to watch the full episode Urban netizens gained a greater understanding of those who live in poverty by agreeing to spend only 6.3 yuan (one US dollar) for the entirety of Wednesday, the International Day for Poverty Eradication, as part of a Chinese charity foundation's efforts to raise awareness of poverty. The amount of money is roughly proportional to the Chinese poverty line, equivalent to an annual income of just 2300 yuan, according to the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA). The foundation started an online campaign in late September calling on netizens to spend 6.3 yuan or less on October 17th to help more people understand what it's like to live in poverty. Ji Lingjun, an office worker from Shanghai, walked to work Wednesday morning to cut her transportation costs. She also brought her own meals from home to save money. "It's hard to spend just 6.3 yuan daily in a big city like Shanghai, especially if you take rent into account," she said. "Actually, China's poverty standard is more stringent than the World Bank's," said Professor Ren Yuan at Fudan University. "The World Bank's standard is based on consumption, not income." Since most of China's poor live in rural areas, many netizens said it would be meaningless to compare consumption levels between cities and villages. "With 6.3 yuan it is even not enough to buy a bowl of noodles here. I cannot imagine that there are still many people living under that standard," wrote netizen <b>...</b> From: bontvchina Views: 0 0 ratings Time: 03:32 More in News & Politics
