Prices just keep on risingPosted by Banyue on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 6:04 PM
 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. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

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.
