 Oriental Morning Post February 19, 2008 Today's Oriental Morning Post addresses China's rising inflationary pressures. The top headline concerns a report published by the National Statistic Bureau yesterday; the market price of food products rose 10.4% during the first month of 2008, and there was no question that January's CPI index would set a new high. It did: 7.1% (see this Xinhua story). The paper's front page picture shows traffic beneath an overpass at East Yan'an Road at the Shanghai Bund. Three Yan'an Road ramps will be demolished to beautify the area. Other headlines: • China expressed "serious concern" over Kosovo's declaration of independence yesterday. China Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said that Taiwan authorities have no right to recognize Kosovo's independence. • On Monday, China's Ministry of Health confirmed another human case of H5N1 bird flu in Hunan Province. • In a delayed report of news from late January, a police in Urumqi, Xinjiang, resulted in the deaths of two members of a terrorist gang and 15 arrests. The Opposite End of China compares this raid to one last year. |

Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

Comments on Prices just keep on rising
here is what i heard yeasterday,
Taiwan separatists see Kosovo's move toward independence as a proof that their own struggle for self-determination will eventually win.
but since the situations are so different,and the most of the Taiwannese prefer to have a peaceful life,so,main the status quo will be their final choice,i presume.
