Blogspot Block in China
Since last Saturday all blogs on blogspot.com seem to have been blocked here in China. I now have to access my blog through very convoluted and annoying means which will reduce my posts for a while.
Youtube has been blocked for a while also now.

企业减产导致美国经济一季度大幅收缩-华尔街日报
News Summary - 新闻提要
企业减产导致美国经济一季度大幅收缩-华尔街日报: "2008年下半年美国消费者大幅削减开支。现在，商业企业也同样在压缩开支。
美国经济一季度大幅收缩，主要原因是在消费受到经济衰退严重冲击的情况下，企业试图相应调整它们的产量。这次衰退是自上世纪三十年代大萧条以来持续时间最长的一次，也是自1958年以来程度最深的为期6个月的回落。
一季度美国国内生产总值折合年率下降6.1%，其中，接近半数降幅是由于企业削减库存所致。企业纷纷削减产量，以清理在商店货架上和仓库里积存的多余商品以及汽车经销商停车场上滞留的车辆。尽管预计本季度企业可能会继续进行库存调整，但这一调整应能改善经济形势，使其在三季度趋于稳定。"

德银：中国经济总量十年内将超过美国
德意志银行预测称，十年内中国经济总量将超过美国。鉴于新兴市场的增长活力，不得不加速对中国大陆在全球经济中的领先地位的预期
德意志银行大中华区首席经济学家马骏在香港一个投资会议上说，中国的增长将得到新兴市场经济体迅速扩张的支撑。这一市场在未来10年将占到全球GDP增长的70%。中国将利用其接近2万亿美元的外汇储备“大举投资”这些新兴经济体，通过增加对国际货币基金组织(International Monetary Fund)的贷款扩大其影响力，并允许人民币升值、为其有可能成为储备货币作准备。
