英媒:房价削中国重男风

High property prices and economic development have begun to erode China's traditional

preference for sons, leading to a rise in the number of Chinese parents who say they want a

daughter, the Financial Times of London reported Tuesday. The conventional wisdom - that China

is a land of unwanted girls - is being changed as urbanization erodes the advantage of having sons

to work the fields and support parents in old age. Rising property prices are also driving the

change because Chinese families must traditionally buy an apartment for a son before he marries.

As a result, Internet chat groups have sprang up where women exchange advice on how to

conceive girls.

英国《金融时报》2日称，中国的高房价和经济发展开始削弱人们重男轻女的传统风气，越来越多的父母表示更喜欢女儿。文章称，城市化削弱了有儿子的优势，如儿子可以下田劳作、养老送终，因此"养女多余"的传统思想正渐行渐远。此外，按中国的传统，儿子结婚前必须给他置办好房子，因此目前的高房价也推动了民众思想的转变。时下，女性网上讨论怎样才能怀女儿的聊天越来越多。

*民声

"It is not only an apartment," says Zhang Yun, a Shanxi native who lives in Shanghai, alluding to

the cost of educating and marrying off a boy. "Sons bring [but] a daughter is a

warm jacket for a mother' when she is old, " said Zhang.

定居上海的山西人张芸(音译)表示："不光是一套房子的问题。"她指出还有男孩的教育和结婚成本。"儿子会带来经济压力……而女儿在妈妈老时可是'妈妈的贴心小棉袄'"。

*数据

According to a recent World Bank report, the gender imbalance favoring boys peaked in Beijing

and some Chinese provinces in 1995 and has fallen since then. Other Chinese provinces saw a

similar trend in 2000.

根据世界银行最新报告，北京和一些省份的性别失调程度在1995年达到峰值，此后有所减弱。还有一些省份也于2000年出现类似趋势。

>60% of gray handsets exported

山寨手机六成销往海外

The gray handset market in China has been growing since 2007, but the use of counterfeit

handsets in the domestic market has been dropping, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported

Wednesday. Now about 40% of the counterfeit handsets produced in China are sold at home and

60% overseas. Market research firm iSuppli predicts that gray market handset unit shipments will

total 175m in 2010, but only 25m will be purchased by domestic consumers and the other 150m

will be exported to India, Southeast Asia, South America and Africa. By 2011, only 12% of the

Chinese counterfeit handsets will be sold in China and by 2012, only 10.5%.

China's consumer price index (CPI) will rise more than the government's target of 3% this year,

said Zhang Ping, National Development and Reform Commission head, Tuesday. It is the first

commodity prices caused by natural disasters, imported inflation led by depreciation of the US

dollar is also pushing up the CPI. Speculation in food and bulk commodities is another major

factor, Zhang added.

国家发改委主任张平9日表示，估计2010年全年的物价指数要高于年初国家制定的3%目标。这是国家部委有关负责人首次表态认为今年物价涨幅会超过3%。张平说，物价形势严峻受各方面因素的影响，一是自然灾害比较多，导致物价上涨；一是输入性的涨价因素——美元的贬值造成这一段时间国际市场的价格都比较高。除自然灾害和国际因素以外，国内对食品以及大宗商品的投机炒作也是造成物价上涨的主要原因之一。

>Chinese people stock up

农产品涨价催生'海豚族'

China has in recent months seen price hikes in garlic, mung beans, ginger, and, in the last few

weeks, sugar, edible oil, apples and cotton. Some people are now saying the trend may spread to

every type of farm produce in China. According to the Southern Daily, many people plan to stock

up on all the necessities of life in case these products too are hit by price hikes. These pre-emptive

buyers call themselves "dolphins" because the Chinese translation of dolphins, "haitun", also

means hoarding.

从早期的"蒜你狠"、"豆你玩"、"姜你军"到前期的"糖高宗"，再到最近的食用油、苹果、棉花等全线涨价，今年以来，农产品涨价已有"全面开花"之势。据《南方日报》报道，在一片"涨"声中，不少人想赶在"涨价"之前囤积生活必需品，他们给自己取了个名字叫"海豚(囤)"，即海量囤储。

*糖

The price of sugar has increased by 13%. As sugar makes up nearly half of the cost of making

candies, prices of many brands of candies are also increasing, including White Rabbit, Alpenliebe

and Hsufuchi.

食糖价格上调13%。由于白糖在糖果的成本里占了近一半，于是近日各品牌糖果纷纷被迫调价，包括大白兔、阿尔卑斯、徐福记等。

*油

The prices of many brands of edible oil have increased by different margins, the highest being

15%.

多个品牌均有不同幅度上涨，最高涨幅达15%。

*苹果

The price of apples has risen in major production areas such as Shaanxi and Shandong provinces.

The price is 30% higher than that of last year in some areas.

在国内苹果的主产区陕西、山东，苹果价格普遍上涨，部分地区涨价幅度达到3成。

*棉花

The highest purchase price of cotton has reached RMB12 per kilogram, nearly twice last year's

price, in the Xinjiang autonomous region, which produces 40% of China's domestic cotton.

在棉花总产量占到全国40%的新疆，棉花收购的最高价已经达到了12元/公斤，接近去年的两倍。

>GEM breeds millionaires

创业板年产富豪500名

The Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) has created so many from-rags-to-riches stories that the

Chinese-style NASDAQ, initiated on October 30, 2009, has been dubbed China's biggest breeding

house of nouveau riche, the Beijing News reported. Many Chinese people say that the GEM is the

quickest way to get instant wealth. Small enterprises swell their market value here and previously

mediocre entrepreneurs turn influential overnight.

据《新京报》报道，2009年10月30日，创业板大幕开启，"中国规模最庞大、最快速的造富机器"横空出世。这是一条高速、高效的"造富生产线"：一些原本小规模的企业，一旦登陆创业板，立刻市值暴增；一些原本不知名的创业者，一旦其公司在创业板上市，立刻资产翻番。

*创业板总市值增400%

There are 134 companies listed on the board, with a total market value of nearly RMB600b, more

than 4 times the market value a year earlier. Only 28 companies, valued at RMB139.97b in total,

were part of the board's launch last year, according to Shenzhen Stock Exchange statistics.

深交所数据显示，创业板共有公司134家，总市值近6000亿元。而一年前创业板刚刚开市时，28家上市公司的总市值为1399.7亿元。这意味着，短短一年时间，创业板上市公司总市值增长超过400%。

*造富温床

The board has bred more than 500 "new rich", who own RMB100m assets or more each, including

73 billionaires. Roughly 1,000 others gained tens of millions.

截至目前，创业板亿万富豪数量超过500人，其中资产超过10亿元的有73人。千万富翁近千名。

98.9%国人遭不告知收费

As many as 98.9% of Chinese consumers pay hidden costs they are not aware of before incurring

them, and 32.2% said they "often" have this unpleasant experiences, an online survey released by

the China Youth Daily showed. Among all of the 1,776 respondents, 43% are the post-80s

generation and 36% are born in 1970s. According to the survey, hidden costs happen most

frequently in the info-communications (76.7%), banking (70.4%) and medical (56.3%) industries.

Most consumers, 71.4%, said they have no choice but to pony up the money, while 11.7% said

they refuse to pay.

>20% tax for iPads

携iPad入境需缴税千元

Chinese customs says iPad carriers entering the Chinese mainland can expect to be charged a 20%

border tax, the Oriental Morning Post reported. Under Chinese customs regulations,

microcomputers, such as iPads, are one of 20 categories subject to taxes. The customs value for

computers is RMB5,000 and the tax rate is 20%, so travelers bringing an iPad are to be charged

RMB1,000. It's worth noting that those who leaving the mainland with iPads for their own must

declare it as they leave or they will be taxed for it as they re-enter the mainland.

据《东方早报》报道，根据海关有关规定，旅客从携带iPad入境，将需缴纳20%的税款。iPad被归为电脑，属于国家规定必须征税的20种商品之一，电脑完税价格为每件5000元，税率为20%。因此，若在购买一部iPad入境，旅客需缴纳1000元的税款。值得注意的是，旅客携带自用iPad出境时，一定要进行申报，否则在入境时亦需缴税。

>Chinese e-commerce leads

中国网购服务水平超美

Chinese online retailers have achieved a level of service that far surpasses their American

counterparts, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Deutsche Bank analyst Alan Hellawell

Thursday. In Beijing, for example, if a consumer were to place an order at 10 am, it would be

possible for that order to be delivered by 3 pm. "The threshold for excellence is already extremely

high," he said. Hellawell estimates that e-commerce penetration will grow to become 7.2% of the

total retail market in China by 2013, up from 2% now. In comparison, online transactions make up

6% of all retail in the US.

《华尔街日报》21日援引德意志银行分析师阿兰·赫拉维尔报道，中国网络零售商的服务水准已经远超美国同行。他举例称，一位北京网购者如果在上午10点下单，下午3点就有可能收到货物，"这种卓越服务的门槛已经设定得相当高了"。赫拉维尔预计，到2013年，中国电子商务渗透率将占中国零售市场的7.2%，而目前该比例仅为2%。相较之下，美国网上交易占零售市场的份额为6%。

>NY incomes drop

'纽约客'收入70年首缩水

New Yorkers' combined personal income plummeted more than 3% last year - the first annual

drop in 70 years, the New York Post reported Thursday. New Yorkers in the private sector saw

their personal income take a whopping 6.8% dive - or $42b - in 2009, even as local- and

state-government workers saw their personal incomes jump 2.5%, or $240m. The State

Comptroller said that although "New York's economy is improving," it is not doing so "fast

enough." "Job growth has been weak and not all regions of the state are benefiting equally. While

revenue collections are also improving, the rate of growth is too slow to solve New York's budget

problems," he said.

据《纽约邮报》7日报道，"纽约客"2009年的个人收入下滑超过3%，这是70年来纽约州首次出现个人年度收入缩水。2009年，纽约州私营企业个人收入暴跌6.8%, 约合420亿美元，地方和州政府工作人员个人收入下滑2.5%，约合2.4亿美元。纽约州主计长表示，"虽然纽约州经济正在增长，但还不够快。" 他表示："就业增长非常疲弱，而且不是所有的地区均衡受益。尽管税收也在增长，但增长速度太过缓慢，不足以解决纽约州的财政预算难题。"

CNN:谁改变中国人才荒?

The overseas-study boom since the 1980s was often criticized by some educational researchers,

staying abroad after finishing their studies has reversed. CNN columnist Jaime FlorCruz

concluded Thursday that "sea turtles" are reversing China's brain drain. In the past returning

overseas Chinese students were a rarity, but now tens of thousands of them have found their niche

in China, said FlorCruz. FlorCruz also lists some successful "sea turtles" - Yi Gang, vice-president

of China's central bank, Rao Yi, dean of the life science department at Peking University, and

CEOs of prominent companies, including Robin Li (Baidu), Charles Zhang (Sohu), Charles Chao

(Sina) and Zhang Xin (SOHO China ).

>Migrants to rich world fewer

调查:向富国移民数下降

Migration from poorer to richer countries, which has been on the increase for the last 30 years, is

now slowing sharply as a result of the international recession, according to the BBC. Inflows to

Spain dropped by 2/3 in 2009, and Ireland and Greece are on the point of changing from being net

importers of labor into their more traditional role as countries which people leave to find work.

This is partly because immigrants tend to end up with less-skilled jobs in economic sectors such as

construction, which shrink quickly at times of economic strain, says the report.

据英国广播公司报道，受全球经济低迷的影响，过去30年来一直不断增加的贫穷国家向富裕国家移民的数量，目前开始急剧下降。西班牙的移民数量在2009年狂跌了2/3。爱尔兰和希腊则开始回归"劳务输出"的旧传统，劳工"只入不出"成为过去。报告指出，这一现象部分原因在于，移民倾向在建筑业等缺乏技术含量的行业工作，而这样的领域在金融危机时期就会迅速萎缩。

Auto sales in China could hit 17m units this year, up from 13.64m in 2009, Economic Information

units would equal the highest yearly figure ever reached in the US. The rapid expansion of the

concerns, most notably widespread urban gridlock and increasing air pollution. In Beijing, the

number of cars registered in the city increases by 1,900 every day, with 7m expected to clog city

roads by 2015, up from the 4.5m currently in the capital, the Beijing News said Monday.

BBC大裁员首'砍'副总监

BBC deputy director-general Mark Byford will be made redundant Monday as the symbolic first

casualty of a round of cost-cutting and restructuring, the Daily Telegraph of London reported. As

well as being paid his salary of ￡435,000 a year until he leaves in 2011, Byford is expected to

receive redundancy of ￡800,000-900,000. His departure is understood to be the first move in a

potentially radical restructuring of the BBC executive board and senior management. The post of

deputy director-general will disappear when Byford leaves as will several senior posts reporting to

him. As a result, the BBC will save more than ￡1m a year.

据英国《每日电讯报》报道，当地时间11日，英国广播公司(BBC)副总监马克·拜福被解职，成为该公司削减成本和重组的首个象征性牺牲品。拜福将于2011年离职，他在此之前还可以领取43.5万英镑的年薪，此外，他还可以拿到80万-90万英镑的遣散费。普遍认为，拜福的离职是BBC董事会和公司高层大幅重组的首刀。拜福离职后，副总监和此前向他汇报工作的数个高级职位将被撤消，BBC因此将能够每年节省逾百万英镑。

*曝BBC大裁员始末

In 2007, the BBC announced a 6-year plan to axe up to 1,800 jobs, prompted by a smaller than

expected license fee settlement from the government. It has promised to reduce the number of

senior managers by a quarter.

The Financial Times revealed that other members of the board, which includes director-general

Mark Thompson and chief operating officer Caroline Thompson, were under threat. BBC media

last.

英国《金融时报》透露，BBC总监马克·汤普森、首席运营官卡罗琳·汤普森等其他董事会成员也将面临被裁厄运。BBC记者托林·道格拉斯称，拜福是首个被解职的高管，但绝不是最后一个。
