a 12-member jury at a federal court of peoria in the u.s. state of illinois unanimously ruled that christensen was guilty on all three counts of the charge against him, namely kidnapping resulting in the death of zhang in 2017; and two counts of making false statements to fbi.

it took less than two hours for the jury to make the decision after the prosecutor and the defense finished their closing statements on monday morning.

in a following press conference outside the courtroom, zhang ronggao, father of zhang yingying, told xinhua he was satisfied with the verdict, and further hoped the justice will be done in the upcoming penalty sentence, which is scheduled on july 8 when the same jury will decide whether christensen deserves the death penalty.

zhang’s mother broke into tears standing beside zhang’s father.

zhang, a 26-year-old visiting chinese scholar, went missing on june 9, 2017, after getting into a black saturn astra about five blocks from where she got off a bus on her way to an apartment complex to sign a lease.

christensen was arrested on june 30, 2017, after being caught on tape pointing out people he described as “ideal victims” during a vigil in zhang’s honor. but he pleaded not guilty.

there’s also a cheaper option, with a one-year renewable residency costing 100,000 riyals. the so-called premium residencies will allow foreigners to buy the property and do business without a saudi sponsor, switch jobs and exit the kingdom easily and sponsor visas for family members, according to the website for registrations.

as well as the paying the high fee, applicants must be at least 21 years old, prove financial solvency and have a clean criminal record and bill of health.

the program approved in may is the latest sign of how the quest for non-oil revenue is prompting gulf nations to rethink the role of foreigners in their societies. 

it’s a landmark move in a region where many overseas workers are subject to some of the world’s most restrictive residency rules.

the united arab emirates approved a plan to allow wealthy foreigners to apply for a 10-year stay, while qatar passed a law that’ll grant some permanent residencies.

the idea for a long-term saudi residency program was first floated in 2016 by crown prince mohammed bin salman, as a part of his plan to reduce the economy’s reliance on oil and boost foreign direct investment. 

at the time, he estimated the program would generate about $10 billion in annual revenue by 2020.

while saudi arabia is seeking to encourage the affluent to stay, monthly fees imposed on foreign workers and their families, along with sluggish economic growth, have prompted hundreds of thousands of expatriates to leave. the levy is designed to spur private businesses to hire saudi nationals.

the new permanent residency system could prove controversial among saudis at a time when unemployment is at 12.5%, nationalism is surging and xenophobia is not uncommon. 

slogans like “saudi is for saudis” are common on social media, and a recent opinion piece in a newspaper argued that the kingdom could deport all its lebanese residents without consequence.

besides “vienna,” “victoria garden“, “heidelberg hotel” and other names like “119 acre-feet community” and “156 humanity palace” are on the list because they are “bizarre.”

huang hongxi, a staff member of the department of civil affairs in hainan, told news site thepaper.cn that the notice is in the process of being publicized, and they are willing to listen to different voices and will have further discussions with industry experts and representatives from different residential communities.

huang also said that the new regulation is helpful in promoting chinese’s culture confidence.

although some chinese people have been blindly worshiping foreign things and fawn over foreign countries, in recent years, with the improvement of china’s national strength and self-confidence, more and more people are calling for localization.

many net users support the campaign, claiming that names of places should have chinese characteristics.

a tianjin based real estate insider told the global times on monday that some developers want to attract potential consumers by using exocentric names on their projects.

“i think the policy is well-intended. if we all blindly follow foreign names and foreign elements, it is no doubt harmful to our culture confidence,” liu yang, a beijing-based cultural critic told the global times on wednesday.

on the other hand, there are some people who believe that it is fine to have some foreign names.

“china will never close its door to the outside world, and the tolerance of multiculturalism is also the embodiment and foundation of the cultural confidence of our nation. confidence is not the narrow-minded confidence but inclusiveness,” said a weibo user.

there is a vote in weibo, initiated by china daily since june 18, showing that 4039 people disagree with this battle with the thought that this is a normal phenomenon; what’s more, there are  2139 people who support it until now.
