Wen Jiabao’s interview. Religious suppression on the rise. Chinese and Christian cosmologies. China’s first spacewalk. Economic instability. Powdered milk crisis. Slave empire in Africa. World’s tallest man has a child. National Day. The Beijinger.

Fareed Zakaria asks direct questions to Premier Wen Jiabao — about China’s abridgement of free speech and information on topics like Tiananment Square, about the books Wen Jiabao reads, and whether China will have national elections in 25 years. Premier Wen gives amiable non-answers about Tiananmen and elections, but opens up about his reading of a Roman Emperor’s “Meditations.”
