Ariana Eunjung Cha, Chinese banks find their credit in high demand : Void left by US, Europe; China diversifies beyond U.S. Treasurys. Washington Post, Jan. 2, 1010.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/01/AR2010010101994.html

My comment: Except the quote above, web page 1 is ordinary. One needs to start reading from web page 2--specifically the paragraph: "In interviews, officials of several companies that received loans from Chinese banks said that they received much more than they sought."

("[T]hanks to the widespread use of Pap tests, it's a disease that has become relatively rare here [United States]. That's not the case in poorer countries where there is a shortage of pathologists available to interpret test results. MarkPap's solution to this problem is a version of the test in which results can easily be sent to qualified experts via computer -- or even by cellphone, if that's what is available.")

("Fliers couldn't use blankets in the final hour [due to new security measures], so the crew [could see everything -- and it was quite cold!' said Mei Levin, who has been traveling on business in China.")

My comment: There is no need to read the rest of this report, as this is the only reference to China.

(Burma-China border)

Quote:

"Burmese women being brought over for marriages with Chinese men -- some forced, some voluntarily arranged through "matchmakers." Babies being brought into China to be sold. And Chinese women from poorer inland areas being moved in the opposite direction, often ending up in Southeast Asia's sex industry.

"In the shadowy world of human trafficking, say government officials and advisers with foreign aid agencies, China has become a source country, a destination country and a transit country all at once.

"The [Chinese] matchmaker -- she requested that her name be withheld because her profession is legally suspect -- said a local Chinese girl will cost as much as 50,000 renminbi, about $7,300. But a girl from Burma, she said, costs just 20,000 renminbi, or just under $3,000. She said her matchmaking fee is 3000 renminbi, or about $440.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/25/AR2009122501766.html

Quote:

"Western models, it seems, are everywhere these days in the People's Republic of China * * * They are blue-eyed American and Canadian blondes like Vos, sultry Eastern European brunettes and hunky male bodybuilders with Los Angeles tans and six-pack abs selling products from jeans to underwear.")

Ou Haibin, head of the Yuanjin Modeling Agency in Shenzhen, "added that he never hires black models. 'Our clients don't ask for black models,' he said. 'It's an issue of Chinese people's aesthetic view.'
