Washington Post, Mar 11, 2012 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wo ... QAB2Rs5R_story.html
("The top export last year was food[,one of the rare areas in which the United States has a trade surplus with China], reflecting China’s insatiable demand for soybeans," as well as four categories: snack foods (tree nuts — almonds, pistachios and, more recently, pecans), pork, dairy products (prompted by food scares in China), and beer and wine)

("Li Rongrong, the former chairman of the powerful State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, said state-owned companies and private companies should cooperate in the marketplace but that the 'the former should take the starring role, like Kobe does for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA,' the official New China News Agency reported")
My comment: There is no need to read the rest of the report.
(3) Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore, Reel China: He's Beijing's Answer to Roger Ebert. Raymond Zhou gained fame by writing Western-style film critiques for Chinese moviegoers, but avoiding the wrath of the state-run film industry is tricky. Los Angeles Times, Mar 12, 2012 http://www.latimes.com/entertain ... lm-critics-20120311,0,5730360.story
(" film criticism here remains a practice stunted by corruption and bribes, state censorship and the culture's emphasis on personal connections, or guanxi, that makes penning negative reviews hard to do")
