WSJ,1/8/10 page A8:
Shanghai- Chinese authorities took steps to cool supercharged economy amid worries over inflation,engineering a minor tightening of credit that unnerved global market.
Page A16: ECO:nomics- where the minds in business and policy uncover the real risks and opportunities in the fast-changing world of environmental capital.
Page C2: Mr. Lo's high-rise rescue in China:
Hong Kong billionaire steps in to revive struggling hotel project in Shanghai's historic district.
Page C10: "The dollar rallied overnight as global stock markets and some comodities sank on news that China had moved toward an apparent tightening of monetary policy." Here we see the Sino-American Cross Model of shifting the aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves towards the recessionary gap from the expansionary gap via monetary policy.Needless to say,Irving Fisher's Quantity Theory of Money or Equation of Exchange works to a certain extent. i.e. MV=PQ
Washington Times- page B3: Secretary of State Clinton: $50 million for the US pavilion at the Shanghai Expo in the summer in 2010, the largest of all.

Page 8A: New Ad campaign touts 'Made in China'
One of the 30-second spots shows a couple of teen girls dancing at a bus stop using a MP3 players "Made in China" with software from Silicon Valley,USA. Another shows a jogger tying his sneakers "Made in China" with American sports technology. Well,here is another evidence demonstrating Sino-American economics in action.
Francis Shieh,sounds like SHEA,acronym for:
S- Society
H- Healthcare
E- Epidemiology
A- America
Society for Healthcare Epidemiology(etiology of epidemics) of America. Fitting indeed!
Well,Shieh or Shea or Shay do sound close enough for the 17 strokes(traditional) or 13 strokes (simplified) of the Chinese character(word) meaning thank.
For explanations: "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" in Engish is available free at pdf format from www.rand.org for reference. Let us dispel any bias for the similar sound as a matter of courtesy for homosapiens:THANK or Xie Xie.But the Chinese word may be unwieldy. Decades ago, a British philosopher visited China,sedan puller asked him about 11 strokes for Wang yu and wang er i.e. 11 strokes for two Chinese names. He could not do it and he started to admire the Chinese calligraphy as a form of art to be appreciated by philosophers in the world. Ph.D. means Doctor of Philosophy and Chinese school kids learn Chinese culture in elementary schools.
