China's Former Top Drug Regulator Gets 14 Years for Taking ¥57 Million in Bribes

Bi Jingquan, who ran China's food and drug regulator and resigned over the 2018 Changchun vaccine scandal, was sentenced on Monday to 14 years in prison for taking 57.42 million yuan in bribes across three decades in office.

National Bureau of Statistics data show Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou new-home prices ticking up in August while most of the country keeps sliding — a 0.1 percent rise that Chinese social media greets with open disbelief.

A drunk, speeding township employee with no headlights killed an elderly couple crossing a Shanxi highway — and the accident ruling assigned them 'secondary responsibility' for their own deaths. Their review application, now accepted by police, is the story China is arguing about.
