(1) 中国敢言学者张博树遭社科院“扫地出门.”  VOA Chinese, Dec. 22, 2009.

(2) 中国逮捕为毒奶粉受害者寻求赔偿的活动人士. VOA Chinese, Dec. 22, 2009.
("中国一名活动人士的妻子星期二说，他丈夫已被正式逮捕。活动人士赵连海创办了'
结石宝宝之家'网站，为中国毒奶粉丑闻事件中的受害者家属寻求赔偿。")

(3) My comment: The following two reports are from Financial Times, about
Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay). To my dismay, Mumbai won't be able to
catch up with Shanghai. By extension, India will remain lagging behind China.

(a) Joe Leahy, Urgency is lacking in spite of chronic deterioration. FT, Dec
. 16, 2009.

(b) Joe Leahy, Mumbai uproar over early opening. FT, Dec. 18, 2009.
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/aac641b0-eb76-11de-bc99-00144feab49a.html
(Investors in Mumbai could not get up at 9 am for the new hours, because
they work late and return home even later due to traffic snarl)

My further comment: The report states that Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) "
claims to be Asia's oldest exchange." I checked and BSE was formed in 1875.
Tokyo Stock Exchnage was established in 1978, and foreigners founded
Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1891.

(4) Keith B. Richburg, Mainland Chinese mothers deluge maternity wards of
Hong Kong hospitals.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/19/AR2009121902159.html?hpid=moreheadlines

My comment: I do not know how one can make "maternity ward bookings" as
actual delivery seems unpredictable to me.
