...Frances and Leo are the only candidates who are radical enough to strike fear into the hearts of the administration. I am personally of the belief that the personalities of the candidates are more important than the platforms, mostly because platforms are comprised of a lot of words, and as an engineering student, I am illiterate.

Although many investors believed the government would do nothing to damage confidence in stocks before Beijing hosts the 2008 Olympics next summer, that belief has proven to be unfounded. In recent weeks, regulators ordered commercial banks to freeze lending activities through the end of the year - a major step calculated to curb the country's overheated economy that could have a knock-on effect on share prices...
