Scenes from China
下周一是中国的国庆节，全国上下面临着一个新的领导团队接手可能是世界上最富活力的社会的政治过渡做好准备。这似乎是看一看亚洲王国——中国情景的好机会。在过去的几十年里，他发生了翻天覆地的变化，中国在政治、文化、经济和军事方面在世界舞台发挥了重要作用。但很多问题也挑战着下一届政府能力，如与日本有关岛屿的领土争端问题、台湾问题，涉及高级官员的贪污腐败、犯罪问题。但同时这是个经济持续增长、世界人口最大且丰富多彩的国家。为庆祝节日到来之际，这里汇聚一些照片来一瞥来自中国各地的情景，包括香港，归属中国管辖已有15年。——里·特纳（共44张照片）
Next Monday China celebrates National Day as the country prepares for a political transition, one that will see the new leaders taking the helm of perhaps the world's most dynamic society. It seems an opportune time to look at life in 中国, the Middle Kingdom. Change and progress have come at a dizzying pace in the last couple of decades, making the People's Republic of China politically, culturally, economically, and militarily a power player on the world stage. Many issues challenge the incoming government. A territorial dispute with Japan over some islands off Taiwan is opening old wounds from WWII. A corruption and murder scandal involving a high ranking official comes at an embarrassing time. And the country's juggernaut economy finds itself in the 11th straight month of stagnation. But at the same time, an increasingly colorful society celebrates the continued vibrant awakening transforming the largest population in the world. Gathered here are images providing a glimpse of life from many parts of the country, including Hong Kong - which has now been under mainland control for 15 years. -- Lane Turner (44 photos total)
