Young Tycoon's Death Penalty Triggers Public Debate
Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com On Jan.18, Zhejiang People's High Court announced death penalty to billionaire Wu Ying. The verdict immediately aroused public controversy, arguing that her sentence reflects the judicature is unfair. Most people think Wu Ying is guilty but it doesn't deserve a death penalty, urging the Supreme Court to review her case. Many of the public believe local officials want her death sentence, so she can be silenced. Wu Ying's defence lawyer Zhang Yanfeng, said that Wu's case is about private loans. She didn't commit the crime of fraudulent public fundraising, classified as one of the three key conditions of the law. Firstly, Wu Ying didn't use fraudulent means to raise funds, but borrowed the money to invest in businesses. Secondly, she didn't have illegal possession of funds, nor transferring, hiding or destroying records and fleeing away. In addition, she hasn't used illegally public funds, but has only borrowed money from over 10 people. Poet and commentator Ye Kuangzheng said that there are no victims in Wu's case. She hasn't committed fraud crime. She borrowed money from 11 investors, who make a living from lending money. Sentencing Wu Ying to death is most likely a result of local officials' efforts to eliminate her as a witness. Netizens compare this case to the last few years, when corrupt officials with few billion yuans frauds rarely got death penalty. Why is there such a big difference between <b>...</b>

Meishi Street shows ordinary citizens taking a stand against the planned destruction of their homes for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In order to widen traffic routes for the Olymipc Games, the Beijing Municipal Government orders the demolition of entire neighborhoods. Several evictees of Meishi Street, located next to Tiananmen Square, fight through endless red tape and the indifference of fellow citizens for the right to keep their homes. Given video cameras by the filmmakers, they shoot exclusive footage of the eviction process, adding vivid intimacy to their story. Filmed by a Beijing resident and edited by the artist team of Ou Ning and Cao Fei, Meishi Street documents the demolition of Dazhalan, one of Beijing's oldest and most famous historic neighborhoods, and offers a dramatic firsthand account of the local residents' struggle to keep their homes. The film traces conflicts caused by the imbalances between development and preservation, modernization and tradition, and governmental decrees and individual rights that resulted from Beijing's unprecedented urbanization process during the run-up to the 2008 Olympic Games.

It is a rare bow to public pressure, as citizens have been complaining of hugely underestimated rates of pollution.

The head of CapitaLand Group says second-tier cities in China hold a great deal of potential for property development. Chief executive Liew Mun Leong told Channel NewsAsia he is on the lookout for value properties in China to grow the Singapore-based company, despite Chinese government measures to cool investment. He pointed to a 30 percent growth last year in tenant sales in second-tier Chinese cities such as Chongqing in the south-western province of Sichuan, compared with 10 percent growth in Singapore. Mr Liew noted that Chongqing had come up tops in more than 10 economic indicators among Chinese cities in 2011. CapitaLand this week sealed its biggest ever single Chinese deal, with a development in Chongqing, which Mr Liew said would be the company's fourth core Chinese market after Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. The S$4 billion project is a mixed development comprising a shopping mall and eight towers for residential, office and hotel use. Mr Liew added that the yet-to-be-named project in Chao Tian Men is the first large footprint for CapitaLand in Western China. www.channelnewsasia.com (Video/Channel NewsAsia)
