  Asia Sentinel - UPDATE: Standoff at the South China Morning Post
On Tuesday the Post’s editor-in-chief Mark Clifford met with about 20 section heads of the divided paper to discuss the firings in an atmosphere that was described by one source as “distinctly chilly’’.
Numerous Post staffers say that while morale at the paper is low after the sackings, there is an unusual degree of unity behind the petition, which was signed by many Chinese staff as well as westerners.
However, we believe that the sacking of high quality journalists is against the interest of the South China Morning Post and that any involvement in the leaving page does not have anything to do with their work for the paper and is not a sackable offence.

  Back of the Class - Education in China
China's first ruler after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, General Yuan Shikai, pushed for compulsory and free primary schooling for the male population.
This was the first time China's intelligentsia had become a political force independent of the country's rulers and the students attacked the government for spending 80 per cent of its budget on the military.
China admitted that 70 per cent of teachers were either untrained or unqualified and just 60 per cent of children managed to finish primary school.

 Reports From China Point To Major H5N1 Coverup
The website that first broke news of the Sars virus in China is now warning of a bird flu epidemic that has claimed more than 100 lives, but can it be believed.
China has denied the claims, but for anyone who follows both Chinese-language underground news agencies and the medical organisations that obsessively monitor emerging viruses, the Boxun reports and the international online response to them recalls early 2003, when news emerged of a killer virus in Guangdong.
The photographs were posted on May 24, one day after the Chinese authorities told official media that wild geese were dying of H5N1 in Qinghai, marking China's first outbreak of avian influenza since last August.

 CLB :: South China Morning Post: China's Labour Trap
Local governments across mainland China have been raising their minimum-wage levels, this year, in response to growing labour shortages.
The All-China Federation of Trade Unions found this year that around 70 per cent of the country's 100 million or so migrant workers had experience of being paid either late or not at all.
China's Labour Law and the system of local minimum wages have been in place for about 11 years, and the great majority of mainland workers are well aware of their basic rights.

 CLB :: South China Morning Post: Focused only on building workers' rights
But China's leaders are still haunted by its spectre, and deeply fearful that a similar movement could arise in China to challenge the party's rule.
The spearhead of China's emerging labour movement is directed at the owners and management ranks, unlike Poland's Solidarity movement, which was directed at the government.
In fact, the fundamentally different nature of the economic systems of Poland then and China today means that Beijing has a golden opportunity to establish itself as the neutral mediator in conflicts between labour and management.

 International Institute for Strategic Studies - May 26th - - South China Morning Post - Military to undergo 15-year ...
China has announced a plan to modernise the military over the next 15 years through developing national capabilities in building large aircraft, advanced weaponry, nuclear power stations and space probes, Xinhua reported yesterday.
However, the task could take decades to fulfil as China was at least 30 to 40 years behind the industry's world leaders, he said.
China's annual defence budget for this year has been set at 283.8 billion yuan, up 14.5 per cent compared with last year, although western analysts have said actual military spending is higher.

South China Morning Post: Under the threat of violence
This loose but broad-based social movement - involving, by the government's own estimate, tens of thousands of collective protests in which several million citizens have taken part each year - is being referred to on the mainland as the wei quan, or "rights defence", movement.
In fact, it deserves to be better known as China's emerging civil rights movement.

 South China Morning Post seeks obscurity on Internet
The South China Morning Post has a large team of journalists and editors, and deep pockets thanks to many years of profitable operations, and being owned by the hydra-like Kuok Group.
But when the casual reader cannot view any of their content without signing up for a paid subcription, and when bloggers who drive traffic to news stories, cannot link to any of the articles, scmp.com is dooming itself to Internet obscurity.
Further evidence that the South China Morning Post just does not get the Internet: the website appears to be updated only once a day, as though it was a print newspaper.

Widespread changes in China's economy and its importance as a U.S. trading partner have highlighted the need to resume talks, according to the delegation's organizer, Kent Wong, director of the Centre for Labour Research and Education at the University of California in Los Angeles.
Wong said: “For many years, the AFL-CIO has had the view that the All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) was not a free trade union, that it was not independent and was led by the Communist Party.
Among those in China are California Labour Federation president Tom Rankin; Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union; Paul Booth, assistant to the president of the American Federation of the State, County and Municipal Employees; and the president of the Local 121 California Nurses Union, Louise Blue.

 Asia Sentinel - Top Editor Forced to Resign at South China Morning Post
The move is seen inside the paper as a sharp rebuke to Post Editor-in-Chief Mark Clifford, as his closest ally departed for “personal reasons,” according to an internal e-mail sent a month after a staff revolt against Clifford brought to light sharp dissension inside one of Asia’s premier English language newspapers.
Jackson, like Clifford an American, was previously business editor for the Post’s cross-town rival, The Standard, until he followed Clifford from the Standard to the Post in February.
While Jackson’s exit from the Post was not linked to the brouhaha over the joke page, staffers at in-house “town hall” meetings held with senior Post management following the petition expressed deep unhappiness not only with Clifford but also with Jackson - who was widely viewed as Clifford’s confidant and chief lieutenant.

"The China market is a long-term, strategic priority for eBay and we will be fine-tuning our strategies to adapt ourselves to the evolving market and competition," said Ms Liu.
Talk of a pullback from China comes as the government is expected to carry out a pledge made last year that it will issue rules this year under which all internet payment service providers, including eBay's 100 per cent-owned PayPal, would have to have a mainland partner to offer such services in the country.
Mr Liao, with 23 years experience in banking and finance and a former general manager of Standard Chartered Bank in China, is seen as more adaptable to matters such as valuation and perhaps negotiating with interested parties for the sale of the company.
