Seen as Environmental Boon, Bicycles With Batteries Now Traffic Menace.
Wall Street Journal, Jan. 19, 2010.

("E-bikes may not be so clean after all [in China]. Because 95% of China's e
-bikes use lead batteries, they emit more lead into the atmosphere than
other forms of transportation, according to some studies. They also rely on
electricity that's mostly made by coal-burning power plants.")
My comment: There is no need to read the rest.
(2) Louis Uchitelle, Another Shifting Industry; Glassmaking Thrives Offshore
, but Is Declining in U.S. New York Times, Jan. 19, 2010.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/19/business/19glass.html?scp=1&sq=glass%20world%20trade%20china&st=cse
Quote:
"They say that Chinese glassmakers are competitive in the American
marketplace only because they have received giant subsidies in recent years
from the Chinese government. The subsidies offset, among other things, the
high cost of shipping heavy glass — auto windshields, for example — across
the Pacific.
"Beijing Glass won in the bidding to supply the opaque, blast-resistant
glass for the first 20 floors of the new [1 World Trade Center] tower * * *
[American glass maker] Guardian won as the supplier of the intricately
layered glass for the upper 85 floors
My comment: I do not know why China would promote glass industry, which is
not hi-tech.
Mr. Ichiro Ozawa publicly proposed US airbase move to Shimoji Island at very end of 2009. He might have dipped his toe in Beijing's water. (Taiwan would prefer other nations not to consult with Beijing about Taiwan.) Then he visited China and met with Pres. Hu Jintao. Presumably he would broach the move. So when Liberty Times reported two days ago that the move was set, Pres. Hu's view must be known by then.
