carrier bags Those found breaking the law face fines 用心 爱心 专心4 Ultra thin 超薄 bags are the main target of the ban because they are typically used once and then thrown away creating white pollution China consumes 37 million barrels of oil each year to produce more than one trillion plastic bags It is following in the footsteps of countries such as Ireland and Bangladesh to introduce a ban The

stores across China have carried out the ban fairly well Many have handed out carrier bags made of recycled cloth to customers But the ban was largely ignored or unheard of among small time wet market vendors 小 贩 who said charging for the plastic bags would turn away many customers My tofu is only worth 50 cents a piece It will be very hard to sell if I have to charge 20 cents for the plastic bag

Some Beijing motorists are flushed with anger over new license plate numbers that contain the letter combination WC saying it gives them unpleasant images Along with OK hello and bye bye the abbreviation for the Victorian Water Closet or toilet has become one of the most well known English expressions in China Despite being on a jargon hitlist of Olympic organizers who plan to replace the WC with the more bog standard toilet it remains all too vivid for some of the 800 Beijing car owners issued with the initials on their license plates I will not make myself a laughing stock among my friends by adding such a weird abbreviation to my new car Xinhua quoted car owner Zhang as saying Authorities however were not sympathetic We will not change our policy a policeman in charge of issuing license plates said English initials on car plates have previously proved to be problematic in China where homonyms 同音异义 and abbreviations occasionally have unexpected associations in Mandarin 普通话 In Xinyang Henan Province SB was struck from license plates as the initials are regularly used in Internet chat rooms to denote Mandarin s arguably most vulgar profanity 亵渎 咒骂 Xinhua said Traffic
