Nation takes firm stance
to protect arable land China Daily 2004.10.30
The Chinese government is determined to take a
firmer stance on land management. Land planning
encouraged the use of every available means to
limit the transferring of arable land to other
uses. Local governments should standardize land
prices and negotiate the lowest price possible
in accordance with market demand and the country’s
current land reserves. New projects should first
be constructed on unused land that has been previously
requisitioned, and local governments should set
new land use quota standards on such land. Excessive
land use in development zones and illegal land
occupation should be reined in. Since the second
half of last year, the central government has
adopted a series of strict land management measures.

but difficult to copy high-tech ones. So he suggested
Shanghai develop more high-tech products as a
way to protect IPR since it has more advantages
in this field than other parts of China
Economy grows 9.1% in third quarter China
Daily 2004.10.23
Expert: Economic performance good, but problems
remain to be rooted out
China economic growth slowed further in the third
quarter ,with the central government’s macro-control
measures to cool the economy taking effects. The
economy grew year –on –year by 9.1
percent in the quarter, slowing from the 9.6%
in the second quarter and 9.8 per cent in the
first quarter, figures from the National Bureau
of Statistics indicate. The figure suggest the
government’s macro-control measures have
achieved significant results. However, some prominent
problems existing in the economy have not been
fundamentally rooted out. The energy and transportation
bottlenecks, the possible rebound in the fixed
asset investment and rapid declines in money supply
and loans are still troubling. The government
should also be alert to further price rises because
price pressures are already quite heavy.
