...three infant deaths reported in 2009. Earlier in March, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission cautioned parents about using slings with babies under 4 months or those born prematurely or having trouble breathing (what baby doesn't catch colds frequently?) as it investigates at least 14 deaths over two decades.

...process that China began well before. Inevitably, there will be a fierce contest for raw materials, mainly in Asia. We see this already happening in Burma, in parts of Central Asia, Africa and elsewhere. This is only going to become fiercer. It's also a myth that somehow the two economies, with their different strengths, will be able to complement each other in the long term.

Although it has managed to pull through the global crisis of the past two years better than virtually anyone expected (including, truth be told, Beijing's own leadership), its top export markets are still weak, and that is fostering a powerful drive toward boosting domestic consumption. The country also feels threatened by calls - most prominently made by U.S. President Barack Obama - for the renminbi to better reflect market fundamentals. In the past, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has outright accused China of manipulating the renminbi and most (though not all) economists...
