You Guess: Top ten domestic news stories in 2003

What were the top 10 domestic news stories in China? Under the maxim that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, the western media should say thank you for the compliment being paid it by its colleagues in the state-owned media in China. So, test your geopolitical IQ and see if you can guess the "winning" events in China. When you are stumped, go click and read all about it.
China's Xinhua News Agency has selected out the top 10 domestic news stories in 2003, including election of new leaders, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic, successful spaceflight of Shenzhou-5 and the latest gas field blowout in southwest China.

Election of new government leaders was a big event for China in 2003. In March of this year, China held the First Session of the 10th National People's Congress and elected new government leaders including President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao. New CPPCC leaders were also elected at the First Session of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) held in March.
Okay, so they give away 4 out of the 10 upfront. Now you guess the rest... in the People's Daily
