The slow down cannot be tolerated in a year of the China's 2017 National People's Congress scheduled for October. Any news is to swept under the carpet. No weakness to be shown. Thus no standing up for N. Korea's shenanigans. China's leaders are often praised for their steady management of the economy. But it is increasingly clear that they are haunted by the specter of a Lehman-style financial collapse. http://fortune.com/2017/06/25/china-confronts-its-lehman-moment/ What to Watch at China's 2017 National People's Congress https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-28/trump-talk-joins-party-politics-at-china-s-npc-quicktake-q-a

Snowing in Kenya Residents abuzz after snowfall in Nyahururu Jul. 04, 2017, 6:00 pm By WILLIAM MWANGI @memwarwilliams The Rumuruti-Nyahururu road covered in snowfall, July 4, 2017. /COURTESY Residents in Nyahururu experienced snowfall on Tuesday as temperatures dropped with the current cold season. A few centimetres of snow covered roads and adjacent farms affecting the Rumuruti-Nyahururu road and the Nyahururu-Maralal road. Motorists stopped to take pictures of the snowfall and share on social media, which was abuzz with remarks about climate change. *Motorists lined up on the Rumuruti-Nyahururu road after it was covered in snow, July 4, 2017. /COURTESY* In the evening, temperatures across much of Nairobi and its environs were below 20 degrees Celsius. Snow in Kenya is not a particularly common sight, given its proximity to the Equator and the vast stretches of semi-desert scrubland. However, Nyahururu is close to Mt Kenya, Africa's second highest mountain, which is covered with snow. *Motorists lined up on the Rumuruti-Nyahururu road after it was covered in snow, July 4, 2017. /COURTESY* In fact, the Meru people call the mountain "Kirimara", which translates from their language to "that which has white stuff", in reference to the white peaks.
