By Sophie Yu, Yilei Sun and Brenda Goh BEIJING/SHANGHAI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Chinese government employee Jin Yang returned to work in Beijing this week to find his usual workplace rules upended as China battles a coronavirus epidemic. His office has banned the practice of eating lunch in its canteen with colleagues, in favour of boxed meals, packaged in house and eaten at desks, he said. "It's anything but normal," the 28-year-old told Reuters. Meetings are held online, instead of in person. Employees must wear masks all day and report their temperatures twice a day. Jin is one of millions of workers who began streaming back this week from Lunar New Year holidays extended by 10 days in China's struggle to rein in the virus, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] which has killed 1,380 people and infected nearly 64,000. But streets and subways are largely deserted in major cities such as Beijing, the capital, and the business hub of Shanghai, with many shops and restaurants empty or shut, while lots of office employees work from home. As many places still enforce containment measures, companies are adopting rules to prevent infection and banish employees' fears of catching it, such as keeping them as widely separated as possible. Not all companies have resumed work. Many that have are asking employees returning from trips overseas or [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] other provinces to quarantine themselves at home for up to 14 days. A manager at one foreign multinational said staff were concerned, particularly after China's tough step in locking down Wuhan, the central city of 11 million people where the outbreak began. "They want no contact," said the manager, who sought anonymity as she was not authorised to speak to media. "Some want people to sit with empty chairs between them at meetings, toilet visits to be assigned at staggered times, and no sharing of the water dispenser," she added, listing the precautions staff want followed. Chinese media have posted photographs of office canteens where plastic sheets and wooden boards divide up tables to form segregated dining cubicles. An industrial zone in the central city of Changsha has started using unmanned robots to deliver meals, the state-run People's Daily newspaper said. Automaker GAC, which has [http://ajt-ventures.com/?s=joint%20ventures joint ventures] with Toyota and Honda, said no more than half its employees are allowed to work each day at its headquarters in the southern city of Guangzhou, with lunchtimes divided into four slots of 15 minutes each. It also rearranged its canteen, and shifted tables to an outdoor terrace, with each spaced 2 metres (7 ft) apart. It has also swapped its previous buffet service for a menu of pre-arranged options. E-commerce firm Pinduoduo said its employees must complete a daily health-check form. It disinfects offices at least twice a day, and provides meals for everyone to minimize exposure. On the Weibo messaging app, the term "hardcore armour for returning to work" has drawn 140 million views, with users sharing safety tips, using videos and pictures. Some images showed people wearing motorcycle helmets at their desks with others in costumes similar to space suits travelling on public transport and some in homemade protective gear fashioned from plastic bottles.

Chinese Store apos;fat-shames apos; Plus-size Women By Calling Them apos;rotten apos;

A Chinese supermarket has apologised to the public after being accused of fat-shaming plus-size women by calling them 'rotten'. A social media picture shows RT-Mart, a major supermarket chain in the country, describing small and medium-size women as 'slim' and 'beautiful' on a board in its clothing section. The same sign labels those wearing large, extra large and double extra large clothes as 'rotten', 'very rotten' and 'extremely rotten'. The image was taken by at an unspecified RT-Mart branch and shared onto the Chinese social media last Wednesday. It labels small women as 'beautiful' and plus-size women as 'rotten' RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share The signboard even specified that the criteria should be applied to women between the ages of 18 and 35. The image was taken by a customer at an unspecified RT-Mart branch and shared onto the Chinese social media last Wednesday. It immediately triggered an outcry, with web users flocking to accuse the brand of humiliating women. On Weibo, the Chinese equivalent to Twitter, one person wrote: [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] 'This does not respect women at all.' Another commenter questioned: 'I am curious how it describes male sizes.' A third user challenged: 'Tall people will have to wear larger sizes too. How can they be "extremely rotten"? I am not tall, but not slim either. I usually wear S or M. Is the copywriter dumb?' Faced with the backlash, RT-Mart, which runs more than 400 branches across China, expressed its [http://imgur.com/hot?q=%27deep%20remorse%27 'deep remorse'] to the public last Thursday over its 'inappropriate wording'.

The above picture shows an RT-Mart branch in Beijing In on its official Weibo account, the company apologised for the 'uncomfortable feelings' its marketing materials had brought to the public. The company claimed to have inspected all of its stores and found that only one of them had the sign. The store in question had been ordered to take down all 'problematic' materials, the statement read. RT-Mart promised to strengthen its internal management to prevent any similar incidents from happening.

Under its statement, one angry reader wrote: 'I wish your business would become "extremely rotten" in the future.' Another demanded the company sack the employees who had written and approved the advertisement. A third person slammed: 'This kind of apology is not sincere at all.' Commenting on the matter, state-run publication China Women's News urged all companies to give more room 'for women to explore and choose' to avoid similar controversy (file photo) In a commentary on Saturday, state-run publication branded RT-Mart's signboard as 'vulgar marketing' that 'derided and humiliated' women. The author criticised: 'The size chart of RT-Mart's female clothes used strikingly crude words and demonstrated the extremely shallow standard of the company's culture construction.' It urged all companies to give more room 'for women to explore and choose' to avoid similar controversy. The news came after a restaurant in China apologised for asking diners to weigh themselves before entry in August. The publicity stunt was an overzealous response to a new national campaign against food waste. The beef restaurant in the central city of Changsha was heavily criticised on Chinese social media as soon as it unveiled the policy. Customers were asked to stand on scales and scan their data into an app that recommended food choices based on their weight and the dishes' calorific value, according to a previous report. data-track-module="am-external-links^external-links"> Read more: DM.later('bundle', function() DM.has('external-source-links', 'externalLinkTracker'); );

By Jane Lanhee Lee and Munsif Vengattil OAKLAND, Calif, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Baidu Inc has received a permit from the state of California to test self-driving cars without a driver behind the wheel, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] the state's Department of Motor Vehicles said on Wednesday. Although self-driving vehicles are designed to eliminate the need for a driver, most testing thus far has been with a safety driver behind the wheel who can take over in case of emergency. Currently, 58 [http://edublogs.org/?s=companies companies] have permits in California to test self-driving cars with such a backup driver, including most [http://search.about.com/?q=major%20automakers major automakers] and Apple Inc. Baidu is the sixth company to have a permit to test without a driver behind the wheel. The permit allows it to test three autonomous vehicles on specified streets within Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County. According to Baidu, it will be using two different models of cars for testing its self-driving system, the Lincoln MKZ sedan and the Chrysler Pacifica van. The Chinese search engine leader has 500 self-driving cars testing mostly in China and some in the United States with safety drivers. It has not said when it will start testing without a driver in California. Baidu said it already has been testing cars on public streets of the city of Changsha, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] Hunan Province, without a driver behind the wheel, and has received a license to test empty self-driving cars in the Chinese capital of Beijing.
