Chinese delegation walked out from a meeting to discuss a wireless computing standard Wednesday. This walkout escalated a struggle by China to gain international acceptance for its homegrown encryption technology known as WAPI. China insisted this meeting was unfair for her while the US based group said China wasn't playing by the established rules.

DONT USE DAY OF WEEK IN LEAD.
THE SUMMARY IS PRETTY GOOD. COULD USE A SWEEPING STATEMENT TO SHOW THE IMPACT THIS MIGHT HAVE OVERALL.

ASSIGNMENT THREE
Please paste the Obituary assignment here.

ASSIGNMENT FOUR
Write three pitches that you and some classmates can actually produce with the time and resources available to you.

The audience will be English speaking You Tube viewers. Your pitch should offer them something they cannot see elsewhere. This means slice of life and human interest stories are OK, but try to come up with some hard issue pieces or stories related to breaking news as well. Foreigners love to hear about: The Olympics, counterfeit or dangerous products, the environment and global warming, martial arts, student trends, China's economy, interesting tourist destinations, and anything unusual or surprising. Think about a story you would like to hear about in another country, and try it here.

Also think about the big stories in the world, and look for a Chinese connection. Are there Iraqi students here? Does China have an Islamic insurgency? What do Chinese students think about the US presidential race? Who is in charge at the Palestian Embassy here now that the Palestinians have split amid civil war?

Your pitch should include the names of the people you plan to interview, and the shots you plan to include.
