Zion National Park Establishes Relationship with Chinese Park

"Express" paper dated December 16, 2009 on page 26: Please read below:

Officials say Dan xia shan National Park is Zion's first sister park in China, according to the Spectrum, a paper based in St. George, Utah. The agreement between parks will involve sharing ideas, staff and research to better understand both parks and cultures. Needless to say, culture implies languages,i.e. English and Chinese for mutual understanding. The two locations share a similar formation of red rocks. Red signifies Good Luck in Chinese culture as solid as the rock for future US-China relations. Moreover,the American Ambassador to China was the Governor of Utah. The phonetic equivalents sound like "Youta" in Wu dialect for Hebrew or Jew. Furthermore, Alaska sounds like "our world" in the meaning for Wu dialect. My Shanghai background rings the bell for such happenings in the light vein.

Francis Shieh aka Xie Shihao is certainly delighted to learn such news as a student of cosmology and epistemology to share with readers of "Sino-American Economics."
