A woman and her son show their support for Chief Executive Donald Tsang and urge for better welfare policy inside the polling centre for the chief executive election in Hong Kong March 25, 2007. Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang is widely expected to win a second term as chief executive on Sunday following an election race that has tested the limits of political openness in China and, some say, flustered Beijing.

A worker carries a trunk at a wood market on the outskirts of Chengde, in north China's Hebei province, April 5, 2007. China's economic boom has driven demand for wood and the country has adopted a tree planting policy, not only to reduce its reliance on imported timber, but also for soil protection, especially in areas near the Gobi desert, said Wulf Killmann, a forestry expert at the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).
