The top headline in The Beijing News announces that property management
companies must issue an annual service quality report. This is part of a new set
of regulations from the Beijing Municipal Construction Committee, which is
currently soliciting reactions from the public. The regulations also include a
rule that requires management companies to respond to clients' requests within
two days.

The second headline tells of the approval of a proposal for Line 6 of the
Beijing subway system. According to the article, the new line, given the
go-ahead by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning yesterday, starts
from Wulu Station in Haidian District and goes east along Linglong Road, Sanlihe
Road, and North Chaoyang Road, before arriving at East Xiaoying Station.

The front page picture shows Beijing's tallest skyscraper, the World Trade
Center Tower 3, which was capped yesterday at 74 floors. The building stands 330
meters tall.
