A very special zone

Article Abstract:

The UN's Tumen River Area Development Program (Trad) may have been reinforced by China's designation of Hunchun as the next region slated for development as an economic zone. However, China has not relinquished plans to dredge a part of Tumen River and develop it as a river port. Trad, which was initially opposed by Peking-based interest groups, is a plan to develop a port network between China, North Korea and Russia, with the center located at Hunchun. Part of the plan being drafted may distinguish an economic zone from the more industry-focused economic development zone.

No time like the present: management training finds home in China

Article Abstract:

Management-training organizations are flocking to China to meet the needs of local and overseas companies that find recruiting and training employees there is their hardest task. State bureaucracies and public enterprises proved poor preparation for the entrpreneurial world of business, so I-Will- Not-Complain Ltd and other executive training groups have sprung up, as well as at least one graduate business program. The China Europe Intl Business School in Shanghai offers an MBA through several selective courses.

Much ado: women meet, educate, get spied on, protest

Article Abstract:

The United Nations' Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and the parallel meeting of non-governmental associations in nearby Huairou drew extensive global press, as did heavy-handed Chinese monitoring. Even the 3000 delegates to the official conference faced unexpected problems, as well as a Platform for Action that generated fierce conflicts over disputed language. The 17,000 at the NGO meeting were largely ignored by the Chinese press, though not by police or locals hoping for excitement.
