The countdown has begun. this fall, china will send a Long March 2F
rocket hurtling into space from a remote launch facility near the Gobi
Desert. The payload: Shenzhou, or "Divine Vessel," a capsule carrying
China's first astronauts. The mission: enter a low Earth orbit for up
to a week, then parachute back to a landing zone on the Mongolian
steppe. The goal: elevate China into the exclusive ranks of
spacefaring nations.

Pictures of Tony Blair and George Bush hanging out on the president's
Texan ranch this weekend have revived cosy talk about the special
relationship. The transatlantic link may have been the defining global
partnership of the last 50 years but the next half century will be
dominated by the relationship between the US and China, and it is
unlikely to be a smooth one. The largest remaining communist state, if
only communist in name, is the only nation capable of challenging US
economic pre-eminence.

China's manned space mission on the eve of President Bush's Asian trip
carries plenty of symbolism, writes Mark Tran
Wednesday October 15, 2003
In becoming only the third country, after Russia and the US, to send a
man into space, China has passed another milestone in its ambition to
become a global power. The timing for Beijing is exquisite as well.
The launch of the Long March 2F rocket came just ahead of next week's
economic summit in Thailand; where Mr Bush will ask China for a
favour.
Mr Bush may lead the world's most powerful country, but the US has
economic vulnerabilities that have been exposed by China's tremendous
growth in recent years. The US has a massive trade deficit - now
running at an annual rate of $433bn (£259.7bn) - partly because it has
assumed its traditional role as the world's economic engine. That
means sucking exports from the rest of the world at a time of weak
global growth, including goods from China.

Hidden from the world, a village dies of Aids while China refuses to

Chang Sun's wife is HIV positive. So is his mother. So is his aunt. So
is his cousin and his cousin's wife. So is the woman next door and,
probably, so is her husband. In fact, it is quite possible that almost
every adult and many of the children in his small, remote village are
infected.

Europe rejects hardline US policy on China's currency
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,3604,1075552,00.html
Jonathan Watts in Beijing
Saturday November 1, 2003
The Guardian
The European Union distanced itself from the United States' hardline
policy on Chinese exports yesterday when its top trade official
rejected claims that the weak Chinese currency was largely to blame
for a growing deficit with the Asian nation.
Pascal Lamy, the EU trade commissioner, said he would not push Beijing
to adjust the renminbi because a sudden move might destabilise China's
shaky financial system or lead to an explosion in unemployment.

China's rural poor are the main victims of the world's fastest-growing

Isabel Hilton
Monday November 3, 2003
The Guardian
How many Aids victims are there in China? Nobody knows the exact
answer, but the Chinese government has been forced to admit that an
outbreak known to affect one province does, in fact, affect most of
central China. Previously, Beijing had admitted that Henan province
was badly hit. But now it appears that not one but seven central
provinces are involved. The victims are not drug users or sex workers;
they are dying because of poverty and official corruption.

He bribed his way into China's coal mines to film the appalling
conditions. Now he's an outcast. Xan Brooks meets Li Yang
Monday November 3, 2003
The Guardian
Li Yang is an underground film-maker, literally and figuratively. His
debut feature, Blind Shaft, plays out in the subterranean world of
China's privately owned coal mines: Li hoisted a handheld camera
through tunnels that honeycomb the remote Shanxi province. He used
"back-door connections" with local bureaucrats to gain access to the
mines, bribing owners and dodging outraged foremen. But because Blind
Shaft bypassed the wider authorities and was shot without government
permission, it officially does not exist within China. The film is
banned and its director is regarded as an outcast. An article in a
Beijing newspaper recently referred to him as "that black man, Li
Yang".

The Guardian
Ra-ra skirts are back in fashion, the housing market is heading for a
crash, and a Republican administration is blaming a powerful Asian
economy for stealing American jobs. Welcome to the 1980s.
China-bashing is on the rise in the United States. Some members of
Congress want the administration to slap tariffs on Chinese imports to
protect American manufacturers from competition. They say China's
policy of pegging its currency to the dollar is giving it an unfair
advantage, and that the administration must act.

British Say 'Long March' Not That Long
http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-china-shorter-long-march,0,1741138.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines
By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN
Associated Press Writer
November 5, 2003, 1:19 AM EST
SHANGHAI, China -- Two British men who spent more than a year
retracing the rugged route of the 1930s "Long March" by Mao Zedong's
communist guerrillas said Wednesday it turned out to be about
one-third shorter than reported by Communist Party propaganda.
Ed Jocelyn and Andy McEwan said their findings showed the trek -- a
major event in the formative years of the party that took power in

On their way back
http://www.economist.com/business/displayStory.cfm?story_id=2193704
Nov 6th 2003 | BEIJING AND SHANGHAI
From The Economist print edition
The overseas Chinese are returning to become entrepreneurs in the
motherland
WHEN Hu Jintao, China's president, recently threw open the doors of
the Great Hall of the People in Beijing it was not to host fellow
Communist Party officials, dutiful soldiers or loyal peasants. His
purpose was to address 4,000 returning Chinese who have studied and
worked overseas but who have since moved back. If this was meant as a
symbol—and nobody practises symbolism as artfully as the Chinese—it
was a timely one. Today's rapidly growing China is drawing on the
talents of its foreign-educated and western-trained elite more than
ever to "realise the great rejuvenation of our nation", as Mr Hu put
it. Many of those returning see China as a land of boundless
opportunity.

Stirring Up a Hornet's Nest
http://www.msnbc.com/news/991203.asp
A Chinese minister's fall has exposed a broad corruption scandal
within the party's ranks
By Melinda Liu
NEWSWEEK INTERNATIONAL
Nov. 17 issue — Tian Fengshan never seemed like ministerial material.
The eldest son of a peasant family in Heilongjiang province, he spoke
with a thick rural accent that still makes him the butt of jokes among
locals. Yet Tian won steady promotions, becoming provincial governor
and then, four years ago, minister of Land and Resources in the
central government. Even then, provincial authorities held meetings
instructing cadres not to mimic his dialect. For all his lack of
polish, Tian had one big advantage: he was an old acquaintance of Hu
Jintao's, now China's president and party chief.
The Path to a Tranquil Mind
http://www.msnbc.com/news/991205.asp
China's ancient spiritual art hasn't always been in vogue. But it is
now
By Anthony Kuhn
NEWSWEEK INTERNATIONAL
Nov. 17 issue — Just off Beijing's main shopping street, Wangfujing,
patients with every imaginable malady line up to see qigong doctors in
the Hall of the Tranquil Mind clinic. Director Zhang Xiaotong first
became a believer in the spiritual art after he was immobilized by
three slipped discs. When a qigong doctor tapped on acupuncture points
on Zhang's arms and legs to free up the flow of qi, or bioenergy, his
pain subsided. "Qigong masters can't explain it. Modern science can't
explain it," says Zhang. "Only Chinese medical theory can explain
qigong's curative powers."

Too Much, Too Soon?

China is making more cars, TVs and washing machines than it can
consume. Eventually, this glut could swamp the world
By Matthew Forney | Xi'an
Posted Monday, November 17, 2003; 21:00 HKT
Old Chinese bomb factories never die. They just become car plants. At
least that's what has happened at Qin Chuan in the northern city of
Xi'an. The aging state-owned enterprise, which a decade ago made
130-mm artillery shells, now houses assembly lines that stamp out a
boxy, four-door hatchback with a .8 liter engine, called the Flyer.
Last year it built just 17,000 of the underpowered, Chinese-designed
vehicles. Many went to taxi companies that were encouraged by
provincial officials to buy them, but that doesn't dismay factory
officials. China's car market is booming. In February, a
Shenzhen-based maker of lithium batteries bought the Flyer factory.
Although the new owner, called BYD (acronym for Brings You Dollars),
has no experience building cars, it still plans to invest a war chest
raised on the Hong Kong stock exchange to build a new facility that
will start producing a family of Flyers as early as next year. "Once
we're established," says Liu Zhenyu, the factory's general manager,
"we'll use our batteries to make electric cars."

International travel and tourism operators are eyeing China as a huge

China is making more cars, TVs and washing machines than it can

By Matthew Forney | Xi'an
Posted Monday, November 17, 2003; 21:00 HKT
Old Chinese bomb factories never die. They just become car plants. At
least that's what has happened at Qin Chuan in the northern city of
Xi'an. The aging state-owned enterprise, which a decade ago made
130-mm artillery shells, now houses assembly lines that stamp out a
boxy, four-door hatchback with a .8 liter engine, called the Flyer.
Last year it built just 17,000 of the underpowered, Chinese-designed
vehicles. Many went to taxi companies that were encouraged by
provincial officials to buy them, but that doesn't dismay factory
officials. China's car market is booming. In February, a
Shenzhen-based maker of lithium batteries bought the Flyer factory.
Although the new owner, called BYD (acronym for Brings You Dollars),
has no experience building cars, it still plans to invest a war chest
raised on the Hong Kong stock exchange to build a new facility that
will start producing a family of Flyers as early as next year. "Once
we're established," says Liu Zhenyu, the factory's general manager,
"we'll use our batteries to make electric cars."

20 November 2003
The United States authorities do seem at last to accept that their
current account deficit will have to be tackled. Improbably, the
product that has tipped them into action is the bra.
There has been a surge of Chinese exports of bras to the US,
displacing tradition suppliers in central America. This has led the
administration into announcing that it will use a WTO provision to put
a quota limiting the growth of imports of bras, evening gowns and
knitted fabrics to an annual rate of 7.5 per cent.

China's emerging position as the workshop of the world (it used to be
Birmingham, remember?) is beginning to send shock waves around the
globe.
The US administration slapped quotas earlier this week on a range of
textiles from China including, comically, some items like bras that
are not even made in the US anymore.
