Private companies will be banned from sugar deals
Article Abstract:
The Chinese government announced that private companies will not longer be allowed to conduct transaction wholesale sugar deals starting Apr. 1, 1995. The ban was stimulated by an Internal Trade Ministry investigation which concluded that profiteering among private companies led to the unrealistic prices of sugar in the retail market. Foreign companies expressed little concern over the new ban since majority of the sugar transactions are still being undertaken by local companies. However, they fear that the ban will further boost inflation in the Chinese market.

China alters some policies to slow pace of reform
Article Abstract:

China's cautionary stance is not actually a new development since it has been using macroeconomic controls to arrest its overheating economy since 1993. However, observers have expressed concern over the Chinese government's apparent reversion to central-planning methods.
