Bitcoin in the Chinese Press

Here's a couple of snapshots of Bitcoin hitting the Chinese papers, in this case the Beijing Times. The first two shots are from Monday, November 25, from the Business section page 42 and page 44. The other is from November 28, the front page of the Finance section (which only comes out on Thursdays). The topics are basic, for example on the finance page there's a small piece on fiat currency versus Bitcoin. The takeaway is that this is a general audience newspaper, the equivalent of the NY Post, Boston Herald, NY Daily News devoting this much coverage to the currency. American papers are covering it from the news angle: Bitcoin millionaires, Silk Road, assassination site; but as far as I can tell they aren't covering in depth, giving readers a deeper understanding of how it works.
