Business of Zhending Chicken - Part II Stephen, it is a shame that I've never been to the place you were talking about, which BTW sounds like an awesome place to grab a bite, and I no longer live in Shanghai anymore. My point is that most people would be willing to pay a higher price for a better quality commodity if their income is high enough to allow them to do so. Agree it or not, it is just my personal opinion. My father earns 2000RMB a month and he definitely can afford for a silk shirt that costs 200RMB but he is always buying cotton shirts which are much cheaper. Does he like silk shirt more? Is silk shirt better than cotton shirt? I guess so. But constrained by the income level, my father has to make a trade-off. Again, I have little understanding about economics and am open to any opinions. I am not trying to argue anything. |

Business of Zhending Chicken - Part II I am one of those who are willing to pay a premium for a better-quality product and I believe so are most of my friends, well-educated and relatively high-income class. I don't think the problem of price-quality depends on the willingness, instead, it is much more a problem of disposable income and the portion of that consumption in your disposable income. And another issue is, what is the so called quality? Should the pychological satisfaction be part of the "Quality", probably we need to look at this problem from a whole new angle. Yet I do agree that Chinese consumers are far away from mature. |

My Temperature Is Monitored Good job, China! They should apply the same measures to rumor mongers, too! http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030515/ap_on_he_me/sars_virus&cid=541&ncid=716 China Threatens to Execute SARS Spreaders By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN, Associated Press Writer BEIJING - China threatened to execute anyone who causes death or injury by deliberately spreading SARS (news - web sites), as officials on Thursday promised more doctors, hospitals and money to fight the flu-like virus in rural areas. The warning by China's Supreme Court, reported by the official Xinhua News Agency, appeared to be an effort to force compliance with quarantines and other restrictions. It cited existing laws, many of which include a possible death penalty for even nonviolent offenses, though it often isn't imposed. The announcement came as Chinese officials tried to keep severe acute respiratory syndrome from spreading to the countryside, home to many of China's 1.3 billion people. Rural areas account for only a fraction of China's more than 5,100 SARS cases, said officials from the health and finance ministries. But they called for stepped up efforts to shield rural villages, especially by keeping migrant workers from carrying the virus in from cities. "We haven't seen a major spread into the countryside, but we can't tell whether that might change in the future," Qi Xiaoqiu, director of the Heath Ministry's Department of Disease Control, said at a news conference. SARS has killed 271 people on China's mainland. The Supreme Court warning says people who violate quarantines and spread the virus can be imprisoned for up to seven years, Xinhua said. It said those who cause death or serious injury by "deliberately spreading" the virus can be sentenced to prison terms of 10 years to life or might be executed. Chinese authorities frequently threaten harsh punishments, including possible execution, during emergencies. Most of China's 100 million migrant workers have remained at their city jobs, and health officials are monitoring 8 million migrants who have returned to their hometowns, the officials said. Some areas are quarantining returning migrants, while teams are being organized to bring in crops so that workers don't have to return to help with the harvest, they said. In hopes of keeping migrants from returning home, urban employers have been told not to fire them, said Liu Jian, vice minister of agriculture. He said the government would offer tax breaks and other financial aid to keep them employed despite a sharp dropoff in business for many urban companies. Many rural villages also have set up roadblocks to keep away outsiders. Such measures have helped to curb the spread of SARS but "must not be allowed to disrupt social and economic order," Liu said. Liu acknowledged that rural residents in some areas have attacked clinics and other buildings that they thought might house SARS patients. He said that was due in part to the failure by authorities to educate the public about anti-SARS measures. SARS has focused attention on the decrepit state of China's rural health care system, which has far fewer doctors and hospitals than cities. Nationwide, health care spending has failed to keep pace with economic growth for the last 20 years. Most Chinese have no health insurance or government coverage. The government has promised $240 million in emergency aid to rural health care. Liu and the other officials said much of it would go toward building and expanding rural clinics. They said medical workers would be sent from China's military and big cities to help staff them. |
