Residents in the Chinese capital awoke to another morning of snowfall, the third this month following the earliest snow to hit Beijing in 22 years which fell on November 1 and was articifially induced by Chinese scientists, who did it again on November 10, reigniting debate over the practice of tinkering with Mother Nature.

China formally kicked off mass celebrations of 60 years of communist rule with a 60-gun salute that rung out across Beijing's historic Tiananmen Square but due to security concerns most of Beijing's 17 million citizens were relegated to watching the pageant in their hometown on television like the rest of China.

A woman walks past an advertising billboard for new housing developments in Beijing on July 21, 2009. China's economy grew 7.9 percent in the second quarter of 2009, the government announced last week, in a stunning turnaround for the Asian powerhouse that offered some hope for the rest of the world, however, analysts have cautioned that immediate and direct benefits would be limited to countries that import heavily into China, chiefly resource-rich exporters and neighbouring nations in Asia. China's urban fixed asset investments, a measure of government spending on infrastructure, rose 33.6 percent in the first half of 2009 compared with the same period a year earlier.

Twenty years after their forebears stood up for political reform with the 1989 pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square and the resulting bloody crackdown, today's Beijing students shrug that off with a mixture of ignorance, political apathy, and different priorities.

<![CDATA[Can You Hear Me Now? Loud Looks At China Mobile Wireless Music Awards]]> Yes it was on Sunday, but I couldn't not show you the utterly glam strangeness that was 2008's China Mobile Wireless Music Awards in Beijing!



















Karen Mok won the Outstanding Singers Of Promoting Olympic Games Award, carried a stuffed animal, and sported leggings, string, and a bolero — like ya do.


Jackie Chan makes Tan Jing his princess. Or her dress does.


I wouldn't go so far as to call Selina's — yes, Selina; you'd think you'd feel funny about it -stripes flattering, but if anyone can pull them off...


Singer Li Yuchun was the recipient of the Most Popular First-Released Album Award, appears to be wearing jodhpurs.


A little bit girly, a little bit matronly, somehow kind of awesome! Zhang Liangying injects just the right note of fierce.


Digging Hebe's sack! She's one third of Taiwanese singing group S.H.E, who won Most Popular Searched Singing Group and Best Selling Singing Group Awards.


Jay Chou seems to have decorated his jacket with fuzzy felts (remember those), been styles by a kindergartner! Win!

<![CDATA[China Girl: Versace's Beijing Collection Is Perfect For… Donatella]]> See, the thing about Versace is, whatever the season, whatever the year, there's always going to be a large hunk of the collection that's just kinda vulgar and expensive-looking. This latest, Versace's first ever in Beijing, is no exception: there's plenty of gold leather and tackiness and gowns that you can really see on some Real Housewife. Or, you know, Donatella Versace herself. And then there's the rest! In this case, that means some genuinely cute '60s-style sportswear, a few lovely gowns and some separates that I would not be at all ashamed to wear. If, you know, someone gave them to me.

<![CDATA[ In 1982, at the age of 25, Barbara Buchan...]]> In 1982, at the age of 25, Barbara Buchan was competing for a spot on the U.S. cycling team when a horrific accident shattered her skull and left her in a coma for two months. Doctors didn't think she would survive, and even when she woke up they said she may never speak or walk again. But Buchan struggled through six years of painful rehabilitation determined not just to walk, but to compete in cycling again. Yesterday, at 52, Buchan finally fulfilled her dream of winning a gold medal, breaking a world record in the individual 3,000 meter cycling pursuit at the Paralympics in Beijing. Though she still has trouble reading and speaking and coordination problems in her arms and hands that make shifting gears difficult, she has built up her leg strength and endurance to compensate, and relies on her team mates to help tighten bolts and tweak her bike before races. It's an incredible comeback and she's still not done — Buchan will race again in Beijing on Friday in the 25-kilometer road time trial. [NY Times]
