	Chinese language at AllExperts
		Chinese is first known to have been written in Latin characters by Western Christian missionaries of the 16th century, but may have been written down by Western travelers or missionaries of earlier periods.
		Chinese morphology is strictly bound to a set number of syllables with a fairly rigid construction which are the morphemes, the smallest building blocks, of the language.
		In general, all spoken varieties of Chinese are isolating languages, in that they depend on syntax (word order and sentence structure) rather than morphology (changes in the form of the word through inflection).

	Exploring Chinese History :: Features :: Chinese Lunar Calendar :: Chinese New Year
		The Chinese soon learned that Nian was sensitive to loud noises and the color red, and they scared it away with explosions, fireworks and the liberal use of color red domestically.
		Chinese New Year is also the time when the largest human migration takes place when Chinese all around the world return home on Chinese New Year eve to have reunion dinner with their family.
		However, Chinese believe that on the third day (年初三) of the Chinese New Year it is not appropriate to visit family and friends, and call the day "chec hao" (赤口), meaning "easy to get into arguments".

	Chinese General Warns May Nuke Hundreds of US Cities
		Major general Zhu Chenghu, a dean at the National Defence University, said he was expressing a private opinion, but his comments, the most inflammatory by a senior government official in 10 years, will fuel growing concerns in Washington about the rise of China.

		Earlier this month, Major General Ding Jiye, head of the finance office of the People's Liberation Army, said the 12.6% rise in defence spending this year was in line with economic growth and was mainly used to improve the living conditions of soldiers.

	Chinese pilgrims attend prayer meeting by Dalai Lama - General - RedOrbit (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Beijing and envoys of the Dalai Lama, who fled his Himalayan homeland to India after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, have held four meetings in the past three years as part of a delicate and slow-moving process of rapprochement.
		It was not clear why so many were allowed to go, but easing restrictions on Tibetans traveling for the ceremony could be a confidence-building measure ahead of another round of dialogue, which sources say could happen early this year.
		Many Tibetans dissenting of Chinese rule, including monks and nuns, have been jailed or fled to India, where the Dalai Lama has lived in exile for almost five decades.

		With the introduction of foreign religions such as Buddhism and Islam, exotic and religious melodies were absorbed into Chinese music and were enjoyed by the Chinese people at fairs organized by religious temples.
		When these distinctive opera styles were performed at the capital (now called Beijing), artists combined the essence of the different styles and created Beijing opera, one of three cornerstones of Chinese culture (the other two being Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese painting) which continue to be appreciated even in modern times.
		Besides these types of music, Chinese peasants were clever enough to compose folk songs, which also developed independently with local flavor.

	Gen. Jose Ignacio Paua: A Chinese General in the Philippine Revolution
		One of them was Gen. Jose Ignacio Paua, the only pure-blooded Chinese general who supported the Katipuneros in the fight against the Spaniards and later joined Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo’s army in the short-lived war against the American colonizers.
		On Independence Day on June 12, 1989, General Paua was fittingly honored when Kaisa Para Sa Kaunlaran, Inc., an organization of young Chinese Filipinos, in cooperation with the National Historical Institute, unveiled his bust at the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite and a nine-foot monument of this hero in Silang, Cavite.
		Funds for the monument were raised from all sectors of the Chinese Filipino community as a tribute to this unknown and hitherto unsung hero of the Philippine revolution.

	Chinese Crested - Is the Chinese Crested the Right Dog for You
		There are two types of Chinese Crested--the Hairless, with hair only on the head, tail and feet; and the less common Powderpuff, that is completely covered with hair--and both may be whelped in the same litter.
		The Chinese Crested does best as a one dog family and sometimes does not like to be over handled by strangers.
		The Chinese, favoring dogs of smaller size, selectively bred the African hairless to a smaller size and continued an active trade, with these dogs working as excellent ratters aboard their ships.

		Now the defection of a Chinese diplomat, who promises to blow the lid on a spy network, leaves Canberra with a dilemma rather than a triumph, writes Brendan Nicholson.
		“The Chinese system doesn’t forgive those things lightly.” White said that if Australia did offer Chen asylum that would not be enough to block the developing economic relationship “but it would certainly be something the Chinese would put on the negative side of the ledger”.
		McKinley says there have been rumours that ASIO had become concerned that the Chinese embassy was operating outside the bounds of its guidelines, “that the embassy’s up to something.

	Chinese Shar-Pei - Is the Chinese Shar-Pei the Right Dog for You
		Once known as the Chinese Fighting Dog, the Chinese Shar-Pei's name translates as "sand skin." A one-family dog, it is suited for both urban and city living, but does not kennel well.
		The Chinese Shar-Pei comes from the Guangzhou province of China where it was well known as a fighting and guard dog.
		At one point the breed was close to extinction, and in 1978 the Guinness Book of Records listed the Chinese Shar-Pei as the "world's rarest dog." Today there is a renewed interest in the breed as a unique family pet, due to their loving and devoted nature.

	Tso What?
		General Tso's Chicken - fried boneless dark-meat chicken, served with vegetables and whole dried red peppers in a sweet-spicy sauce - is one the most common yet enigmatic dishes you will find on a Chinese menu.
		Chinese food in New York was different in the early '70s; while there were a quite a few Chinese restaurants around, they were all Cantonese.
		General Tso's Chicken is still a house specialty (since every Chinese restaurant, even the $4.99 Lunch Special places, copied Peng's menu), and the staff still laughs behind your back every time you eat one of the hot peppers by accident.

	t r u t h o u t - Chinese General Threatens Nuclear Retaliation if US Helps Taiwan
		But in extensive comments to a visiting delegation of correspondents based in Hong Kong, General Zhu said he believed that the Chinese government was under internal pressure to change its "no first use" policy and to make clear that it would employ the most powerful weapons at its disposal to defend its claim over Taiwan.
		But the comments by General Zhu suggest that at least some elements of the military are prepared to widen the conflict, perhaps to persuade the United States that it could no more successfully fight a limited war against China than it could against the former Soviet Union.
		General Zhu's threat is not the first of its kind from a senior Chinese military official.

		When China entered the WTO on 10 November 2001 it did not make any commitments to open the media market to foreign businesses, although the Chinese government indicated that foreign media companies would be able to have a limited access to the Chinese market.
		The domestic Chinese television business is extremely competitive, and it seems clear that the trend towards media companies being taken over and amalgamated will be hard to stop.
		Phoenix tends to focus on the experiences of the global Chinese community, on developments in Chinese culture, and on international events that have major implications for the Chinese audience and this approach has created an extremely propitious base for Phoenix to extend its global outreach.
