Happy New Year! It is the Year of Ox.

In this publication, we offer two articles: 1) "Reasons Why Obama Needs New Start with China," by Dr. George Koo; and 2) "Goodbye Rat and Hello Ox," by Professor Peter Chung Chieh.

In the Photo Section, again, many thanks go to Mirian Zhang for her collection of beautiful cranes in China.

We thank your support for the year 2008 and wish to receive your continuous support and participation in this bi-lingual website by sending your comments.
