According to the article on Google Groups here,

An “ocean reservoir” could be built to help alleviate future water shortages in Shenzhen.

Apparently they would store fresh water inside a membrane sack in the sea. And before you laugh, Shanghai and Macao already have this method of storage. Apparently.

The ultimate goal of Shenzhen, one of the seven Chinese cities that suffer with the most serious water shortages, is to remove every factor that threatens its water supply and become a place enjoying sufficient water resources.

Well, SZ already succeeds in blocking out the sun with blankets of smog 350 days a year, so that’s a step in the right direction…

According to China Knowledge

Huaqiang North Road, a commercial street in the Futian district within Shenzhen city and well known for its large trading volumes, is also one of the most influential electronic markets in mainland China, forming a commercial center where leisure, shopping, as well as food and beverage services converge.

It is also where half the population of the city seems to converge every day. Buy buy buy! Really, do you all have no job to go to?

From Xinhuanet:

 The municipal tax collector on Tuesday published the tax default list, unveiling a total default amount of 212 million yuan(26.5 million U.S. dollars).

Sounds like it might be worth pursuing some of those tax defaults then…
