Hong Kong battles back: wave of negative media coverage is scorned

Article Abstract:

Residents of Hong Kong are blaming the Western press for disseminating bad publicity for the country as it reverts to Chinese rule. Businessmen and other professionals are outraged at the negative press and misinformation the international media has spread about Hong Kong and have decided to initiate their own campaign to disperse positive news about the future. A British tour operator is blaming the negative press for destroying her once lucrative business which enjoyed some 5000 bookings in the months of July and August before the British media made exaggerated reports about Communist rule, leaving her with no customers at all.

In an effort to adapt PCs to Chinese language, main question is: junk the keyboard or keep it?

Article Abstract:

Computer manufacturers have developed devices that help microcomputers adapt to the Chinese language. A voice-recognition system that encodes Mandarin was developed by Apple. Motorola has created a handwriting-recognition equipment called Lexicus. Both systems have eliminated the use for keyboards. On the other hand, Ziran Electronics Ltd's Ziran input system utilizes a keyboard that can encode Chinese characters into the screen.
