Battered shares rallied initially on the move and ended 0.56 percent higher at noon. But stocks continued to fall after that.

“Stocks rallied on the package of policies in the morning session, but the trend of the index depends more on economic responses than the favorable measures while the economic downturn is clear,” Zhang Fan from Changjiang Securities said.

The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.84 percent, or 17.64 points, to 2,074.58 points, after reaching an intraday low of 2,063.41.

Losers outnumbered gainers 622 to 204 while 41 remained unchanged. Turnover in the local market shrank to 37.16 billion yuan (US$5.46 billion), compared with Wednesday’s 42.02 billion yuan.

The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks the smaller domestic market, fell 1.41 percent, or 8.04 points, to 562.61 points.

China's central bank announced cuts in interest rates and bank reserve requirements in its latest move to boost the domestic economy as worries grew over how the deepening global financial crisis will play out here.

Lending and deposit interest rates will be reduced 0.27 percentage points today, and the reserve ratio will drop by a half point next Wednesday, the People's Bank of China said.

In a separate announcement, the State Council said yesterday it was suspending a 5 percent tax on income earned from interest on bank account savings.

“There is still much room for the interest rate cut and reduction in reserve requirements. The reduction is not as strong as Europe and US while investors have expected more,” Zhang said.

Bank of Communications dipped 1.71 percent to at 5.16 yuan. China Merchants Bank lost 0.49 percent to 14.22 yuan while Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, the nation’s biggest listed lender, declined 0.98 percent to 4.03 yuan.

Chinese financial institutions have been largely unaffected by the credit crisis that has crippled many Western banks and roiled global markets, and China is more concerned about a longer-term downturn in economic growth.

Economists said the new policy package had three targets: to trim borrowing costs for companies against the threat of a slowdown, to stabilize banks' profitability by increasing their liquidity while not diminishing their interest spread, and to placate billions of savings account owners affected by the reduction in interest.

Developers fell on concern the interest rate cut wasn’t enough to attract home buyers.

China Vanke, the nation’s largest developer, lost 3.08 percent to 6.30 yuan while Poly Real Estate Group, the second-largest, declined 6.30 percent to 14.13 yuan.

Huaneng Power International, the listed unit of China's largest power group, said it increased output by 13 percent in the first nine months of the year as it boosted generation capacity to meet China's rising power demand. The stock slid 2.46 percent to 7.15 yuan.

The shops will wrap up purchased items and send them sealed to boarding gates for travelers to pick up. At present, an individual can just purchase items at shops and carry them onto planes.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China issued this new policy in response to beefed-up security standards by the Australian government, Guangzhou Daily reported.

Also, a second security check will be applied for carry-on luggage at boarding gates, it said.

Only four types of liquid products are allowed as carry-on items: those purchased at airport duty-free shops those sold or provided on board planes those approved after clearing security checks and baby food or medicine.

Liquids approved to take aboard the flight must be sealed in a plastic bag with a quantity of no more than 1 liter, the report said.

SHANGHAI should establish a comprehensive system to deal with emergency issues before the 2010 World Expo, experts told a forum in the city over the weekend.

With about 70 million visitors expected for the Expo, it is vital that there is facility which can manage emergency care, the experts said.

Special trauma centers, different to hospital emergency clinics, should be established to cope with patients suffering serious injuries. Hospitals designated to admit patients during the Expo should be prepared for special emergency services.

"Disaster medicine in China lags far behind Western countries. The earthquake in Sichuan Province showed that we lack professional staff, equipment and the ability to manage emergencies that produce many casualties," said Dr Liu Zhongmin, of Tongji University's Institute of Trauma Studies and president of Shanghai East Hospital. "The experience of the Sichuan earthquake has taught us that it is vital to establish a system that can handle staff training and disaster area assessments."

But while it is popular in the West, there is not yet major courses on disaster medicine in Chinese medical schools.

Tongji University's medical school has just launched a selective disaster medicine course for junior students this semester and is planning to offer a major in disaster medicine next year.

"We offer students book knowledge and translated teaching material and we are inviting experts in emergency and disaster medicine from home and abroad," Liu said. "Students will also get a chance to see the process of emergency care in different situations."

JAPAN'S ruling party chose outspoken nationalist Taro Aso, an advocate of spending and tax cuts to boost the economy, by a landslide today to be next prime minister and woo voters before an election that may be held soon.

The former foreign minister will take over the reins from Yasuo Fukuda, who suddenly quit this month leaving a policy vacuum as the economy flirts with
recession and risks further damage from turmoil on Wall Street.

The new leader must try to revive the world's second-biggest economy despite the constraints of its huge public debt, although he may have scant time to do so
if, as media and pundits predict, he calls an early poll for parliament's powerful lower house.

Aso, who wants tax cuts for businesses and stock investors, has said Japan's goal of balancing its budget by 2012 could be put off, a stance that has alarmed
fiscal reformers in his party.

Aso won 351 of 525 valid votes cast by LDP members of parliament and representatives of local party branches.

Economics Minister Kaoru Yosano, a fiscal conservative, was a distant second with 66 votes and former defence minister Yuriko Koike, who was bidding to
become Japan's first female prime minister, placed third with a mere 46 votes.

Critics had charged the contest was just a show to appeal to voters ahead of an expected early general election and that debate, which focused on economic
policies, became blurry.

Of the five candidates, only Yosano clearly stated the need to raise Japan's 5 percent consumption tax to help fix tattered finances and even he said an initial
hike would be years away.

Media reports said Aso was considering keeping Yosano in a new cabinet to be formed on Wednesday as well as tapping another rival, former defence
minister Shigeru Ishiba, in an effort to unify the party, which is suffering from dismal voter ratings.

The LDP leader is virtually assured the premiership by virtue of the government's majority in parliament's powerful lower house, which is due to vote in a
new prime minister on Wednesday.

Police may charge a 31-year-old Hong Kong man, who was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl, after he was caught in a hotel in Yau Ma Tei in Kowloon, China News Service said on its Website today.

Police said the women ranged from 15 to 26 years of age and were controlled by a prostitution group. The head of the group and more sex workers are still wanted, according to the report.

The Kowloon West Region Chief Inspector of Police Chung Chi-ming said police received a tip about the targeted hotel in Yau Ma Tei.

The group rented five to six rooms for long-term sex deals and charged 600 yuan (US$88) to 1,300 yuan per customer, the report said.

Of the 16 women, 13 were believed to have entered Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland by sea while the other three held expired two-way exit permits.

The customers were aged 25, 27 and 31. According to a Hong Kong lawyer, the 31-year-old man will be charged with having sex with a minor.

The defendant can't argue that he didn't know her age or didn't check her ID card because he could judge based on the girl's appearance, the lawyer said in the report.

Police can also charge him with aiding and abetting illegal immigration. The suspect will face a maximum of two years in prison for the two crimes, the report said.

State-run China Central Television said shortly after 7pm that a 0.1 percent stamp tax on buying shares would be abolished, although an equivalent tax on share sales would remain.

The move follows a volatile day of trading that saw the country's benchmark Shanghai Composite Index plunge 7 percent before recovering some losses to close 1.7 percent lower, at 1,895.84.

Regulators have used adjustments in the stamp tax in the past to help spur or cool demand for shares. The Shanghai benchmark has fallen nearly 70 percent since hitting a peak of 6,124.04 in mid-October of last year

1. 互联网广告仅占中国广告支出的5%，而在美国占10%.但如果中国经济继续增长，同时，相较于传统娱乐形式，中国的年轻互联网用户越来越多地选择互联网，中国一定会迎头赶上。

广告是随着经济和媒体的发展而增长的。据预计，未来五年中，中国网络用户数量每年的复合增长率将达到18.5%，而美国的增长率仅为2.2%.以此计算，到2012年，中国将有5.90亿网民。

广告但迄今为止，在线广告在中国还没有得到很好的发展，就算是搜索引擎百度（baidu.com inc.）等最大的网络公司也表示，它们要使出浑身解数让中小广告主相信付费搜索的效力。

被认为是在线广告的重大助力的电子商务也发展缓慢，因为许多消费者不习惯在线购物，而且仍然不愿意通过网络为产品付费。

internet makes up only about 5% of advertising spending in china compared with 10% in the u.s. but if china‘s economy continues to grow and china’s young internet users increasingly choose the internet over traditional forms of entertainment， china is bound to catch up.

‘advertising grows with the growth of the economy and media，’ over the next five years， it is estimated that the number of internet users in china will grow at a compounded annual rate of 18.5%， while the u.s. will grow at only 2.2%. by 2012， that would give china 590 million internet users.

　　but so far, online advertising has yet to flourish in china, where even the largest internet companies including search company baidu.com inc. have said they struggle with convincing small to medium-size advertisers of the efficacy of paid search.
e-commerce, which is expected to be a major driver for online advertising, has also been slow to pick up because many consumers are unaccustomed to shopping online, and are still reluctant to pay for products electronically.

2. soho中国的数据显示，去年北京土地价格上涨了一倍以上，从2007年2月的每平米2000元人民币左右升至12月份的近5000元人民币。

土地价格上涨是由于房地产市场不断走高，但同时也是源于这样一个事实：尽管中央政府实施了对银行贷款的限制，但开发商拥有多种多样的融资选择——从通过股市（筹资）到现有项目的大举预售。

此后，随着通胀日益加剧，中国政府采取了各种措施，其中包括限制抵押贷款。

这些措施限制了买房者的购买力，并动摇了投资者的信心。对于开发商而言，但流动性枯竭的时候，市场也就见顶了。

　　data from soho china, which raised $1.7bn from its hong kong initial public offering last year, show that land prices in beijing more than doubled from about rmb2,000 per square metre in february 2007 to nearly rmb5,000 in december.

the increase was caused by a rising property market but was also spurred by the fact that developers had a variety of financing options – from tapping the equity market to aggressive pre-selling of existing projects – in spite of bank loan restrictions imposed by central government.

　　beijing had since taken measures, including restricting mortgage lending, amid rising inflation.
that had constrained the purchasing ability of house buyers and shaken investor confidence, he said. when liquidity had dried up for developers, the market peaked.
