Are there any big name Stars
that compete against each other in China? "No, and
there's a reason why," says Troy Cory. Troy was one
of America's first TV performers to set foot on the
stages of China in 1988. - SEE

As Universal Hilton Hotel was playing host to the
new political celebrity, Chinese Vice Premier Wu
Yi, it seemed everyone inside the hotel was
fighting to see the diminutive, gray-haired woman
in an orange jacket and dark pants," reported the
LATimes.
•
•
"She was hardly your run-of-the-mill celebrity,
like China's college student, 2005 Super Girl
winner, Li Yuchun, 21. Those in the know, asked
themselves, "will the Vice Premier be turned out
into wilderness like all of the other political,
business and show biz celebrities - that preceeded
her into big
time?
•
•
Will she become a member of the all but forgotten
"old timer group?" "Probably so" - - says, Troy.
China's State Administration of Radio, Film and
Television, chief broadcast regulator, said last
week, that it issued new rules governing
Idol-Britney Spears inspired singers, like Super
Girl TV star, Li Yuchun. The rulings will send Li
Yuchun back into the unknown wilderness. China
doesn't want to create competition for the masses
to look up to, "all are
equal."

On the other side of the world, behind the velvet
rope in Hollywood's Universal Hilton Hotel,
security guards barking into their headphones,
holding back angry photographers and frustrated
reporters trying to sweet-talk their way into the
inner sanctum.

"And I thought the [Golden] Globes were
bad," said an unhappy photographer, one of dozens
who couldn't get into the room Thursday."

•
During the 3 hour event, Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi
was discussing the very unsexy topic of U.S.-China
trade and investment. All the attention could be
explained by the goodie bag she had brought to the
party: a $15-billion shopping list for U.S.
telecommunications equipment, high-tech products
and farm
goods.
•
•
Her appearance, featuring more than a dozen
government officials and 100-plus entrepreneurs
from China, was the first stop in a cross-country
buying spree aimed at easing trade tensions before
an April 20 White House summit meeting between
Chinese President Hu Jintao and President
Bush.
•
•
In addition to Wu's entourage, the Chinese invited
dozens of U.S. executives to Los Angeles to
participate in a massive contract-signing ceremony.
They, along with a large group of Chinese and
U.S.-based media, overwhelmed the meeting
space.
•
•
Chinese officials hoping to ease trade tensions
before President Hu Jintao's upcoming visit to
Washington, kicked off a coast-to-coast buying
spree in Los Angeles that will include $15 billion
in orders for U.S. electronics goods,
airplanes

Chinese officials hoping to ease trade tensions
before President Hu Jintao's upcoming visit to
Washington are kicking off a coast-to-coast buying
spree today in Los Angeles that will include $15
billion in orders for U.S. electronics goods,
airplanes, auto parts, farm goods and other
products.
•
•
U.S. businessmen characterized the super-sized
shopping extravaganza -- the largest ever for a
Chinese trade mission -- as a not-so-subtle effort
to win over Americans without addressing the
significant issues of the ballooning U.S.-China
trade imbalance, piracy and China's currency
policy.
•
•
Even business groups warned that any gains from
China's commercial diplomacy would be short-lived
unless they were accompanied by concrete action on
issues such as stronger intellectual property
protection.
•
•
"We recognize the value of having Boeing planes
sold," said Myron Brilliant, chief China strategist
at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "We recognize the
value of [China's] buying U.S. products.
But we also need the Chinese to understand that
more needs to be
done."
•
•
China has a history of using high-visibility
commercial deals to garner goodwill or punish other
governments.
•
•
A senior Chinese official, speaking to reporters
Wednesday in Beijing on condition that he not be
named, said one aim of this week's buying blitz was
to "show average American people that trade is
mutually beneficial," a point he expected would be
noted by some members of Congress.
•
•
China's state-run media reported that Beijing would
purchase as many as 80 737 jetliners from Boeing
Co., whose Seattle-area plant will be the site of a
major policy speech by President Hu on his way to
Washington. Linda Lee, a Boeing spokeswoman, said
Wednesday that the Chicago-based company did not
comment on pending
orders.
•
•
As of January, the Chinese had yet to purchase 80
of those planes, which have a list price of $4
billion to $6
billion.
•
•
After today's ceremonies, members of the Chinese
delegation will fan out across the country with
their shopping lists, making stops in politically
important Midwest and Southern states where job
losses have stoked anti-China
sentiments.
•
•
In the next few weeks, more than 200 entrepreneurs
from 110 state-owned and private companies from
China will make $15 billion worth of purchases in
13 states, said Xiaomei Zhou, a spokeswoman for the
Chinese Consulate in Los
Angeles.
•
•
Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi, the head of the
delegation, is on her way to what could be an
acrimonious meeting Tuesday in Washington of the
Sino-U.S. Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, a
bilateral group set up to address economic
concerns. The U.S. is seeking specific commitments
on the piracy front, including an agreement that
Chinese government agencies won't purchase
illegally copied
products.
Editor's
Note
/ Back home
in Beijing, news of the Chinese trade mission to
America has sparked little
enthusiasm.
•
•
"I don't support the government in revaluating the
Yuan to float with the dollar," said Chen Dawei, a
professor at the School of Economics at Renmin
University of China in Beijing, questioning whether
taking the Yuan off the "follow the monetary Dollar
market would bring
results.
•
•
He recalled that just a week after China made
similarly large-scale purchases of American goods
around the time of the Sino-U.S. commission meeting
in 2003, Washington announced an anti-dumping tax
on Chinese-made home
appliances.
•
•
"It's OK to send a large gift of products to
America, but our government should bargain more for
products we can use at a price based on worth, not
equity based on Yuan/Dollar ratio manipulation,"
said a China spokesman, who asked his not be used
in this report. "We must stop now, before it
becomes a customary contest between China and
America. I hope our government can be tough enough
to show what competition and a pissing contest can
do to a trade relationship between two great
nations."
•
•
The U.S. media says China's
Super Girl Needs a Rescuing from
obliviousness,
even after the Super Girl
singing
group . . .
drew a TV audience of 400 million. But luckily for
the nation of China, like in past history, a State
Administration agency came to the rescue. China's
chief broadcast regulator, ruled that if contests
could not contribute to the "constructing a
harmonious socialist society, by causing
competition between the pretty girls and homely
ones" . . . [The Pretty Girls] must not
make a hubbub over the ugly's vs pretty's,
therefore must avoid creating stars." These
restrictions may or may not prevent Super Girl from
securing permission to air, but they're certain to
cramp the show's
style.
•
•
Voting for the TV contestants, by those only with a
telephone, has shown the Chinese people without one
what it would be like when voting for their
political leaders. The country-side viewers of the
show, thought Li and her fellow finalists were
insufficiently prim role models. It's also possible
that Super Girl . . . produced by a station in
Hunan province . . . was upstaging CCTV, China's
national network, which produces its own more
subdued but far less popular ersatz
Idol.
•
•
Like past
China political leaders, Deng XioPing and Jiang
Zemin, today's political leaders, Chinese Vice
Premier Wu Yi and President Hu Jintao may see their
ambitions quashed by their judges, but like their
predecessors, "their future will continue to be
positive and healthy . . . as long as they avoid
making an embarrassing contest out of their rivals
good-will and
trust."
That last part may explain the original water
colored photo of Mao still hanging over Tianemen
Square, and the take on Mao actress wife, Jiang as
being a member of the "big Four" -- that just about
took over China in the late
70s.
