Topic 2: Jaywalking Unstoppable in BeijingA survey shows that Beijing's attempts to crack down on jaywalking have been weak and measures to address the issue that were passed a year ago have done little to deter pedestrians from illegally crossing the street in the Chinese capital.
A survey from Beijing-based Legal Evening News shows that around 70 percent of the people believed that they have not stopped jaywalking, despite the city's ordinance.
When asked whether the rules will actually make an impact, more than 60 percent of respondents were not optimistic.
Is jaywalking really that big of a problem?

A recent survey by recruiting consultancy Hays shows that in China 36% of management positions are held by women. That's higher that the average for Asia of 28%. Hays says that this indicates that China has made significant progress in developing and nurturing female leaders.

What do you think? Do men make better bosses?
