Xi: Step up fight against corruption

 

At the 19th CPC National Congress, Xi vowed to fight graft, saying, "No place has been out of bounds, no ground left unturned and no tolerance shown in the fight against corruption."

 

Around 621,000 people were punished for corruption last year, including 51 officials at or above the provincial and ministerial level, according to the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission, the nation's top anti-graft watchdog.

 

China's global anti-corruption manhunt brought back 1,335 fugitives and recovered 3.54 billion yuan ($525 million) of illegal gains in 2018. They included 307 former members of the Party or government employees. Among those, five were on the Interpol red notice list of 100 Chinese corruption fugitives most wanted by China.

The ancient Hunting Month enters the 21st century

 

The last month of the lunar calendar used to be called the Hunting Month in more rustic times.

 

That was when traps were set in the wild to catch pheasants, rabbits, deer and wild boar in preparation for the rounds of feasting during the Spring Festival, just weeks away.

 

These days, wild game is not so easily available, and tamer options are preferred, although the meats are still cured and hung up to dry in the chilly winds. Layue has come to represent a time for preparing and curing meats, known as larou.

Chinese tourists take to Antarctica in a big way

 

Chinese have become the second-largest tourist force in Antarctica. The polar region received 8,273 Chinese visitors during the 2017-2018 season, accounting for 16 percent of all, only second to the United States, according to the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators.

 

Chinese travelers have spent an average of 23 days on their Antarctic tours, and costs ranged from 50,000 yuan ($7,241.1) to 110,000 yuan, in 2018.

 

Costs depend on a traveler's means and routes. Those who take cruises across Drake Passage to polar destinations are looking at 50,000-200,000 yuan, while those who take planes from Chile or Argentina before switching to cruises on the Antarctic Peninsula would likely have to pay 120,000-160,000 yuan.

 

The most expensive way would be taking flights from Chile to the Antarctic region, which usually costs above 500,000 yuan.

 

That is a shit load of money for the average chinese person. Especially when your culture is focused on marriage and buying a house which are expensive.
