...assuming that Hayek wasn't at risk of contracting anything from the baby - who Hayek reported was healthy but whose mother simply had no milk - none of these caveats seem relevant.

When web surfers from the city of Shenzhen, in southern China, visit a government website, they are greeted by two adorable cartoon figures, a tiny policeman and policewoman with friendly smiles, no noses (for some reason) and huge melting blue anime eyes.
