 Topic1 Pilot Projects of Judicial ReformChina will launch pilot programs to overhaul its judicial system and curb abuses of power by local governments. The pilot programs will run in six places, including Shanghai, Guangdong and Qinghai.

How big of a change will it bring?
Topic2 Foreigners Find it Hard to Adapt to Chinese Work CultureMore Chinese companies are hiring foreigners as part of their workforce. Decades ago only a handful of companies and public institutions had the need and permission to hire "foreign experts", but now overseas talents can be seen in private enterprises, SOEs, and even government offices.

Why is dog meat festival a problem?
