Jet Li plays unusual role in Chinese melodrama
Posted by admin / Under Shanghai Stock Exchange
SHANGHAI (Hollywood Reporter) - Action hero Jet Li gives a respectable turn as a terminally ill father grooming his autistic son to survive on his own in "Ocean Heaven" -- a decent, if orthodox job by Xue Xiaolu. Film Xue off-sets some of the wholesome soppiness of this genre by keeping the tone light, the story simple and steered clear of grueling ordeals. Compared with another father-son story "Together," which she co-scripted and Chen Kaige directed, it is less melodramatic and artificial. Set mostly in a marine park in Qingtao province, its interpretation of autism owes less to "Rain Man"...

San Antonio's contribution to national humiliation
Posted by admin / Under Shanghai Stock Exchange
In 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tapped San Antonio lawyer José Villarreal to be the pavilion's commissioner general -- essentially the manager of the U.S. presence and the public face of the U.S. government at the World Expo. . . . While the opportunity to take part in an event that Villarreal's staff modestly calls "the largest event in world history" is certainly understandable, the early reviews of the U.S. pavilion and the U.S. presence are less than stellar.Liberal blogger Matthew Yglesias writes at his Think Progress blog that the U.S. pavilion is "a national humiliation": T]hey really only...

China Real Estate: Boom Not Limited to Just Beijing, Shanghai Magnet Markets
Posted by admin / Under Shanghai Stock Exchange
There was a good article this week issued by Reuters, and authored by Langi Chiang and David Stanway, on yet another part of China where a booming real estate market is raising serious concerns. Hainan is a tropical island off the country’s southern coast, part of the region I call China’s Back Door, which is being developed as a “fun in the sun” tourist destination.

Obama walks on eggshells in Shanghai

Obama walks on eggshells in Shanghai Venkatesan Vembu / DNA It was a wet and windy Monday in Shanghai, but for Houston Wu it wasn’t the weather that rendered United States president Barack Obama’s ground-breaking townhall-style interaction with “China’s future leaders” a “colossal damp squib”. It was, he says, Obama’s “needless, excessive caution” about offending official Chinese sensitivities, which reduced him to “a mere shadow of his inspirational, lyrical self.” Everything about the meeting, says Wu, had a “surreal quality” to it: From the fact that the student audience was made up of handpicked Communist Youth League cadres, to their...
