CNN thinks oil prices going down is good news.

CNN thinks oil prices going down is good news. I consider that bad news.

But I thought this was good news:
"all party and government officials have been ordered to stop spending public funds on lavish banquets during the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday."

Life term for China land minister, BBC, 27 December 2005

Chinese Government officials are notorious for these lavish banquets. While I by no means think they should starve or not have a pleasant holiday like everybody else, there is incredible food wastage in China, and frequently at government events, which almost any foreigner I have met in China has been astounded by, and many of my Chinese friends and colleagues over the years have also commented on.

Another forward step for China's sustainable development......that is,....if enforced.
