Japanese goods to protest war crimes, two high-ranking Chinese

focused on local historical and territorial spats. But analysts say the
anger is rooted in a longer-term and deeper shift: Over time, great
economic growth has created geopolitical giants in the form of China

Yet Beijing&apos;s behavior tells a different story. Since the start of this

the pope who faced down Soviet communism comes word that a deal may be
in the works between the Holy See and the Chinese communists. According
to Bishop Joseph Zen of Hong Kong, the Vatican is on the verge of
breaking ties with Taipei in order to establish them with Beijing,
which outlaws the Catholic Church and maintains communist-controlled
official churches."/>
				<outline text="No one at the Vatican has stepped forward to confirm or deny the
Bishop&apos;s prediction. But it&apos;s hard to imagine such a deal with the
Chinese communists being hatched at a time when John Paul II was at the
height of his powers. Indeed, it&apos;s hard to see such a deal as anything
but a repudiation of much of what he stood for. And it&apos;s hard to
imagine what the Vatican could be thinking it might get out of any deal
with the communist camarilla in Peking."/>

far Chinese textile imports can increase before the EU considers

early on Tuesday that the 35-year-old was finally discovered, feet from
where police were searching, trapped in one of the block&apos;s notoriously
faulty lifts. Mr Chen, who comes from Fujian in south-east China and
speaks no English, was stuck alone for 80 hours after the lift
plummeted 30 floors. He said he had screamed for help and pressed the
alarm to no avail. At 5am on Tuesday, suffering from dehydration, he
was rescued by firemen who prised open the lift door."/>

				<outline text="Among the many treasures of Chinese art in the collection of Taiwan&apos;s
National Palace Museum in Taipei is a hanging scroll painting titled
Travelers by Streams and Mountains (ca. 1000). It is the sole extant
work of one of the legendary landscape painters of a period of Chinese
history known as the Northern Song dynasty. The reuniting of China
under the first Song emperor in 960 brought peace to the nation after
half a century of civil war, and the flowering of culture and the arts
that occurred in this period is widely considered the greatest in
China&apos;s 3,000-year history."/>

				<outline text="IT MAY BE the 100th anniversary of Chinese filmmaking this year, but
that staple of Saturday night entertainment - going to the cinema - is
still a rarity on the mainland. With just one cinema per 1.1 million
people, it&apos;s hard to even find a screen. Once you do, it&apos;s up to five
times as expensive as buying a pirated DVD. And because of censorship
and import restrictions, there aren&apos;t many people wanting to watch
anyway."/>
				<outline text="The cinema is most popular with couples who don&apos;t care what&apos;s on so
long as they can cuddle in the dark. That&apos;s the case for 21-year-old
Zhao Cen, an engineering student at Beijing&apos;s Tsinghua University, who
often takes his girlfriend to the movies. &quot;For me, going to the cinema
is a way of courting. The most important thing is not the quality of
the film, but the chance for us to be together,&quot; says Zhao, from the
coastal city of Dalian."/>
