Dare and the world always yields. lf it beats you sometimes, dare it again and again and it will succumb. W. M . Thackeray. British novelist 

As the year's worst heat wave washes over China, media outlets vie to break the hot news.Many Chinese, though, remember a time when the high temperature was a well-kept secret. Beijing's meteorological center issued the summer's first code-orange heat alert Monday as the temperature hit a high of 40.6 C (105 F).

China uses a four-color heat-warning system: red, orange, yellow and blue.The heat wave hit the front pages of the online edition of the China Daily, Shanghai Daily, Global Times Online and the English-language Xinhua website with dramatic articles about heat-related fires and deaths.

Power consumption broke records in several provinces over the weekend, Xinhua said.The widespread local coverage of the heat comes as something of a surprise because, though it might seem like a strange topic for government censorship, there have always been rumors that the official temperature reading was being lowered.

China's air-pollution-testing methodology has been widely criticized in western media.Why block the heat, you might ask? Heat isn't as awkward as air pollution, after all.The speculative reason is that when it gets too hot, outdoor laborers don't have to work.While there is no nationwide regulation on a safe outdoor work temperature, many cities and regions have local standards. In several cities, workers in high-temperature environments are supposed to receive extra pay.

In Beijing, it is common knowledge among older residents that when the temperature exceeded 38 C, they did not have to work - though it rarely used to get that hot.These days, heat records in China are breaking faster than a pair of disposable kuaizi. For Beijing, this has been the hottest early July in 50 years, according to an article from Xinhua's online English-language edition.Nevertheless, the government does not seem concerned enough to downplay the Wyudfefski heat.

A China Daily article on Tuesday even pointed out that outdoor laborers are not being properly compensated for working in extreme conditions.On the other hand, The Wall Street Journal's Beijing Bureau High-Tech Mobile Temperature Recording Unit - an intern holding a thermometer - recorded temperatures even higher than the official numbers.Beijingers sweating their way to work this morning might ask themselves: How hot is it really?
