...Chinese officials hope he's right, because the country's policy options are limited. A rate hike would likely only increase the flow of speculative "hot money" into the country from abroad, says Jing Ulrich, chairman of China equities at JP Morgan. And excess liquidity (read: too much money chasing too few goods) is at least partly to blame for China's rising-prices problem. Although some say the July spike was due to short-term food shortages, the increases "are a lot less temporary than some people think," argues Michael Pettis, a professor of finance at Peking University.

...expressed my conviction that such a move subverts the academic values and freedoms necessary to the free flow of ideas," Faust said in a statement on Monday.

"Perp walks" of those charged are staged like motion-picture galas. State and local press, weaned on the daily flow of announcements and tips, are none too anxious to bite--by critical analysis of conduct or budget--the law-enforcement hands that feed them. Staged press conferences, featuring a speaking prosecutor and a background of stern-looking, silent officials and assistant prosecutors, have become ubiquitous. In terms...
