>Looted relic comes back home
流失文物'虎鎣'重回祖国
A Chinese bronze vessel some 3,000 years old that was looted and taken to the UK in the 19th century has returned to its country of origin. It was transferred to the National Museum of China on Tuesday. The vessel, known as the Bronze Tiger Ying, was auctioned in April by Britain's Canterbury Auction Galleries. The buyer, through the auction house, contacted China's State Administration of Cultural Heritage later and expressed hope for an unconditional donation. Information shows the vessel, from the late period of the Western Zhou Dynasty (c. 11th century-771 BC) and once belonging to the royal family of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), was taken away by British military officer Harry Evans from the Old Summer Palace, which was sacked and destroyed in 1860 during the invasion of Anglo-French allied forces.

>Sale of yellow vests banned
埃及限售黄色反光背心
Egyptian authorities restricted the sale of yellow reflective vests amid fears opponents might attempt to copy French gilets jaunes protesters. Security officials and retailers said industrial safety equipment dealers have been instructed not to sell yellow vests to walk-in buyers and to restrict business to wholesale to verified companies, but only after securing police permission. Offenders would be punished. The yellow vests worn by French protesters have become the symbol of the wave of demonstrations that began in November against a rise in fuel taxes but mushroomed to include a range of demands, including the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron.
因担心反对者可能试图效仿法国的"黄背心"抗议者,埃及当局已限制出售黄色反光背心。安全官员和零售商表示,工业安全设备经销商已收到通知,不得向未预约的买家出售黄背心,业务范围限定为向经过验证的企业批发,但需提前得到警方批准。违规者将受到处罚。法国抗议者所穿的黄色背心已成为11月开始的抗议浪潮的象征,这波抗议浪潮最初是为了反对燃油税上调,但迅速演变成表达要求总统马克龙辞职等众多诉求的活动。

>42% employees work overtime
42%中国劳动者超时工作
A recent report shows 42.2% of Chinese employees worked overtime in 2017, with the average schedule exceeding eight hours. Researchers from Inner Mongolia University have studied the usage of time among 30,591 people in 12,471 families across 29 provinces and municipalities throughout China. Low-income earners, people with lower education, and workers in the manufacturing and production sectors were found to be more likely to work extra time, as high as 58.8% for those employed in manufacturing. Du Fenglian, the project's lead researcher and also dean of the Economics and Management School at Inner Mongolia University, said the study found Chinese women are spending more time at home and less time working, a trend also observed in South Korea and Japan.
