The anwser is YES and I believe there will be a lot of polices to keep
the order and before the show the whole program will be inspected ( I am

Beijing Library Calls for Donations of Ph.D theses from oversea Chinese
		5th May 1992

So far, the library got 50 copies of Ph.D theses donations.
It prefers the final "offical" copies (in either hard copies or micro
films) but does not exclude "non-official" copies.
It intends to collect all abstracts into a series of
"The Abstracts of Chinese Ph.D Theses (oversea section)".
Potential donators are invited to contact the sections of culture or
education of oversea Chinese Embassies and to ask for a donation form.
However, a direct correspondence with the library is highly encouraged.

		URGENT APPEAL FOR BONE MARROW DONOR

      After graduating high school with honor, Andrew Yuen, 18, of 
Seabrook, Maryland, was to begin his studies at the University of Maryland 
when he was diagnosed with leukemia last September.  He spent 4 months at 
the George Washington University Hospital for chemotherapy treatment and
appeared to be on the way to recovery. However, a further blood test in
June showed that the leukemia has recurred.  Andrew desperately needs a
bone marrow donor to donate bone marrow to him. However, to date, doctors
have failed to find a perfect match for Andrew among his family, relatives,
or from within the Naitonal Marrow Donor Registry.

      Andrew's family has been beset with misfortunes.  His grandfather and
grandmother passed away within the last 6 years.  His father, Chok-You, died
of liver cancer in 1984 at the age of 48.  Andrew was one of 3 children
being raised single-handedly by his mother, Man-Kei.

      This is an appeal to all to volunteer to test for the correct bone
marrow type.  The appeal also goes out especially to people of Asian-Pacific
origins, since the chances for finding a perfect match greatly increase if
the donor and the patient are of the same race.  A bone marrow drive targeting
the Asian community in the Washington area will be held from 12:30 pm to
3:30 pm September 27, at the Chinese Bible Church of Maryland, 4414 Muncaster
Mill Road, Rockville, Md.

      For information concerning future bone marrow drives or eligibility
requirements for participation in testing, call the NIH Marrow Donor Center
at (301)496-0572 or the National Marrow Donor Program in Minnesota at 
(800)654-1247.

Excellent job!

Now taking the numbers from your former posting, say, an average of 200
newly built swimming pools per year from 1984 to 1991, there would be
at least 7*200 + 2200 = 3600 swimming pools in China now. Even the number
of indoor pools must be several times higher than 60!

BTW, how is the reputation of TIME in US? Is it considered as a magazine 
with serious comments on political topics or just a common paper collection
for promoting "the American way of life"?

Beijing Indifferent to the Chinese Protection Bill

A source within the PRC Foreign Ministry has confirmed that the PRC
government is ready to accept the passage of the Chinese Protection
Bill, although the official line is still against the Bill.

At the same time, Beijing is expecting the US president to acknowledge
that it has been safe for the Chinese nationals to return to China since
June 4, 1989.  All 8,700 such cases have been presented to the White House.

To allure more Chinese to pay home visit in the next 12 months, the
three Chinese airlines flying the US route will issue coupons representing
savings of up to 35% to the targeted group of Chinese nationals.  The
coupons will be distributed via the Chinese Consulates.


==========================================================================

Trouble-makers Not Welcomed

[The original came with the first two paragraphs in garbage characters]

The major argument for taking the low profile is still [attracting]
the foreign investment, but two other concerns have been frequently
raised during the debate [in which the Prince Party seems to be winning]:

  (1)  The immigration quota wouldn't increase.  So for the same number
       of brains drained, it'd be better to let more trouble-makers stay
       abroad.

       As a Poliburo member put it, "anding tuanjie" is more
       important [than using a few more brains trained in the US].

  (2)  The passage of the Bill would significantly reduce the number of
       political asylum petitions [which has been considered to be more 
       damaging to the PRC government].

       The ground for political asylum has been strengthened by Deng's
       speech and the Dai Qing incident (the PRC government wants to
       keep the dissidents in exile).
