Church returns to Chinese Catholics in Beng
In Beng, the government presents a Christmas gesture by repurposing St. Michael's Church for Chinese Catholics led by Bishop Fu Tieshan. The 87 year old building, built in 1902 for foreign diplomats, was seized in 1958 and used as a school. The church reconsecration marks a symbolic restoration after decades of secular use.

Injunction Denied as Allegany Protesters Set To Return
A New York judge refused to halt protests against proposed nuclear waste sites in Allegany and Cortland counties. The Low Level Radioactive Waste Siting Commission and residents pledged to resume demonstrations after seven officials were detained for four hours during a Dec 13 confrontation. Douglas Eldridge said the commission would press on, while Susan Campbell noted residents keep watch on the sites amid cold weather. The ruling holds that existing criminal laws could be enforced to manage protests.
