China issues gold newspaper

China has published the world's first gold newspaper, Xinhua news agency reported.

The most expensive edition uses 500 grams of gold while another uses 200 grams. They both cost thousands of dollars.

The paper has been published by the China Economic Daily to celebrate the achievements of the last 10 sessions of China's top legislative body.

The paper, a one-off, is called 'China's Flourishing Period'.

It was issued in the city of Shenzhen, a booming economic centre in the southern province of Guangdong.
