That makes it likely that China will raise more money in IPOs in 2007 than every other major market in the world did in 2006. This year, says Richard Sun, a partner at PwC, only London is on pace to outstrip the Chinese markets in terms of IPO money raised...

...monarch, Falun Gong demonstrators jostled for space with activists urging an end to political pressure on RTHK, Hong Kong's public broadcaster. As the crowd moved steadily through the streets of Causeway Bay, a popular shopping district, union representatives brushed shoulders with nationalists bearing oversized posters of Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen and bright Taiwan flags.
