Danwei Picks: 2007-12-12Posted by Joel Martinsen, December 12, 2007 5:00 PM
Danwei Picks is a daily digest of the "From the Web" links found on the Danwei homepage. A feed for the links as they are posted throughout the day is available at Feedsky (in China) or Feedburner (outside China). An open letter against an anti-fraud crusader: Xiao Chuangguo is an academic whom anti-fraud activist Fang Zhouzi accused of falsifying his resume. He sued, and published a rather nasty open letter before legal proceedings began last year. A translation of that letter appears on a new blog, the China Scientific & Academic Integrity Watch, which follows the activity of people in China working to uphold academic and professional standards.
A highly investigative report from the Southern Daily in southern China reveals a secret "Chinese express" for the iPhone's 1.3 billion potential fans. Streetloads (quite essentially) of shuihuo, or "illegit goods" versions of the iPhone — the phone being exactly the same as the one the US and Europe gets — are all the rage. Shops line the street, ready to sell the iPhone to those who want Apple's latest-and-greatest gadget.
Chinese inflation reached an 11-year high of 6.9 per cent in November, a level that will harden Beijing’s resolve to tighten monetary policy and probably further delay energy price reform. Also on Reuters if you can't access the FT page.
