Good Evening, I'm Jin Hua for Confederate Empire News.
Today in the Empire,
The Imperial Grand Line of Sheng China is now fully operational and running in all continental Sheng territories.
The Imperial Grand Line services the major cities and capitals throughout the entire empire leading to the Imperial Capital of Yong'an.
The project was funded by the Imperial Ministry of Transport and the Imperial Family. Construction employed several hundreds of thousands of workers in each territory serviced. Making it one of the largest construction efforts in Imperial History next only to the construction of the Great Wall, the Grand Canal, the Three Gorges Dam, and the current reconstruction of the Panama Canal.
Developing in the homeland a large scale protests were broken up by police forces in three major cities of Taipei, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
The protests are shown to be related and organized by misguided democracy warriors of Ai Weisheng demanding his immediate release and pardon from the Imperial Ministry of High Justice.
The protesters shouted anti-government and anti-imperial family slogans while demanding Ai's release. The protesters turned violent upon the arrival of local riot police who were forced to use extraordinary measures to crackdown on the rioters. Sadly to say several of the rioters were injured in the crack down with several many more being arrested. None however luckily died.
Democracy dissident Ai Weisheng remains in custody and will go to trial for subversion of the Imperial Government, defaming the Grand Empress and Crown Prince, spreading religious propaganda, illegal organization of subversive groups, disturbing the peace, agitating the populace, publishing illegal propaganda, fleeing police custody, falsifying documents, and many more offenses.
In other news, a wide scale corruption probe has begun in the Imperial Government by order of the Grand Empress. The probe will be lead by Imperial Justice Bao Zheng.
The probe comes as a result of the recent surveying of the general populace in their opinions of the Imperial Government bureaucracy and cited that corruption was the largest complaint.
The Grand Empress is taking measures to curb this offense within her governments and considers it to be a personal blemish upon herself that the situation has come to this. All those found guilty of corruption will face the full wrath of the law.
All of the Empire is preparing for the coming Chinese new year which is set to begin on the 31st of January on the new moon with festivities running for 15 consecutive days.
