	IPCS - China & East Asia
		While examining the increasing inflow of FDI and China?s burgeoning regional trade, they make several important points with regard to the nature of this FDI, noting that despite China?s image as a global manufacturing base, more than two-thirds of foreign manufacturing in China is for the domestic market.
		For example, it may be true that at the end of 2001, China?s government debt is less than 16% of GDP but this should not obscure the sheer size of that debt and the enormous implications it has for the national as well as the world economy.
		Zhang Yunling and Victor L L Chu, analyze China?s relations with its neighbours: the former in terms of its participation in the new regionalism involving the ASEAN + 3 formula and the latter with Japan in particular.

		As we all know, China has had many capitals during its history, there is no single city that's exclusively been capital for China.
		South Korea is moving their country's capital away from Seoul, it's not unreasonable to contemplate that China would do the same.
		I don't see a pressing need for capital relocation, but if the capital were to be relocated, I would recommend somewhere in central China to foster the developement of the interior.

	AAS Abstracts: China Session 53 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Because it was the capital of a conservative dynasty which asserted strong control over the metropolis, Beijing was slower to modernize than other important Chinese cities.
		This is surprising given that it was the undisputed political and cultural capital of China during the late imperial era, and that it has been China's capital for most of the twentieth century.
		A once unrivaled imperial capital thus increasingly registered in the minds of intellectuals as a regional outpost whose native population was as culturally and financially impoverished as other urban populations in China.

	Unfocused: Xi'an - From Bronze to Dumplings
		Today, we arrived for a two night stay in Xi'an, a historical dynastic capital of China known best to foreigners as the home of the army of terra cotta warriors discovered in the 70s.
		At the center of this 7 million inhabitant city is the original historic city, surrounded by a "city wall" 10 miles around, complete with battlements, gates, drawbridge, and moat.
		The means of negotiating this circle reminded us of a previous visit to China -- our first exposure to the no-holds-barred approach to driving in the smaller cities.

		Moreover, China is large enough that its numbers impact on the global statistics: in 2003, the world added roughly $60 billion in euro and yen reserves, and $440 billion in dollar reserves.
		China's push into Africa is all the more remarkable because it comes when that continent has become the virtual stepchild of the international trade system, a mere footnote -- or worse, simply unmentioned in discussions of global commerce.
		China's higher profile is all the more striking, analysts, executives and diplomats say, as Washington's preoccupation with Iraq and terrorism has left it seemingly disengaged from the region, which in turn has found the United States more off-putting and harder to penetrate after Sept. 11.

	RGE - China’s capital controls and the RMB
		And if the situation really got out of hand, China could, of course, just reimpose capital controls - so this entire debate is rather theoretical. The evidence we have doesn't suggest that China's capital controls work perfectly, but it does suggest that they work.
		With capital controls it is much harder to do this since any money corrupt managers and officials steal will be in a Chinese bank, where they can be impounded, rather than in the Cayman Islands.
		Now we can debate what inflation in China really is and whether this leaves real interest rates too low, but there is little evidence in the HK renminbi markets or even a fl market in China to suggest locals are trying to flee the renminbi.
