	Like Japan in the 1980’s, China Poses Big Economic Challenge
		Chinese women in broad-brimmed straw hats wield shovels and brooms across from a modern air-traffic-control tower designed by a company from Singapore.
		Chinese wages, though, were no more than 4 percent of American and Japanese wages in 2002, the most recent year available.
		So while American officials, for example, can press the Chinese to let the yuan float, they cannot press as hard as they did with Japan in 1986, when Tokyo was spurred into letting its currency rise sharply against the dollar, eroding the competitiveness of Japanese exports.

	Chinese grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinese grammar—here referring to that of Standard Mandarin—shares a similar system of grammar with the many language varieties or dialects of the Chinese language, different from those employed by other language families, and comparable to the similar features found within, for instance, the Slavic languages or Semitic languages.
		Chinese is considered to be a topic-prominent language, where the topic of the sentence (defined as "old" information whereupon the sentence is based) takes precedence in the sentence.
		Moreover, counter words are generally associated with certain groups of nouns related by meaning, such as one counter for long, thing objects or animals (used for "snake", "dragon", "fish" etc.), one of objects with handles (e.g.

	Chinese Room Argument [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The Chinese room argument - John Searle's (1980a) thought experiment and associated (1984) derivation - is one of the best known and widely credited counters to claims of artificial intelligence (AI), i.e., to claims that computers do or at least can (someday might) think.
		Whatever meaning Searle-in-the-room's computation might derive from the meaning of the Chinese symbols which he processes will not be intrinsic to the process or the processor but "observer relative," existing only in the minds of beholders such as the native Chinese speakers outside the room.
		To the Chinese room's champions - as to Searle himself - the experiment and allied argument have often seemed so obviously cogent and decisively victorious that doubts professed by naysayers have seemed discreditable and disingenuous attempts to salvage "strong AI" at all costs.

	Ancient Chinese Culture - Traditional Chinese counters for calculation
		Ancient counters, mostly made of bamboo and animal bone, are also found of iron, bronze ivory and jade.
		The counters simple as they appear, were employed by the ancients not only to do the sums but also the extraction of square and cube roots, the solution of equations of higher degrees and the calculation of pi.
		It is estimated that counter sticks were widely used in China for 1,500 years until gradually replaced by the abacus about the 15th century the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644).
