China does hackerspaces

And by 'does' I mean launches a programme to get 100 hackerspaces up and running in the Shanghai area. No point wasting your time with a couple eh?

"Shanghai Government Technology committee has issued a call for a proposal to build 100 community hackerspaces with government funding for equipment. The communities in resident area are going to manage the spaces and pay for the materials. Each space is required to be at least 100 square meters, more than 200 days/year open, equipped with wood lathes, metal lathes, saws and drill grinding combined machine, milling machine and other tools." more here: http://bit.ly/rB3qPF
