| More girls than boys at university |
高等学府“阴盛阳衰” |
| Newly enrolled female students exceeded males this year for the first time in the 91-year history of coeducation at Nankai University, the Beijing Youth Daily reports. The university's enrolment report says 1,662 female students joined as undergraduates this year, accounting for 53.1% of the 3,127 freshers. The increase of female students follows government efforts to boost the number of girls in higher education. It also reflects a marked change from earlier times when girls had far fewer educational opportunities than boys. |

“国家安全”大魔咒 |
| Chinese telecom companies looking to break into the US market have been met with obstacles related to national security, the First Financial Daily reports.

The US Department of Defense and some lawmakers are worried that letting Huawei and ZTE enter the US telecom network will endanger national security. ZTE CEO Shi Lirong said the situation the company is facing in US is an indication of anti-competition, protectionism and anti-foreignism. |
