I am now on twitter

Dear Readers, my sister just dragged me kicking and screaming into twitter and its universe of 100 characters limit (wish that was 100 Chinese characters!). If you twitter, click on twitter.com/vshih2 or search for me by my name.I will do my best to update with various views and links. I will probably twitter a lot during conferences!

On another note, Bo Xilai is further cleaning house in Chongqing. After the arrest of former vice police chief Wen Qiang, many of his "business" associates were also arrested. Now, we can say that Bo Xilai has complete control over Chongqing. The question is: to what end? This could be a Li Ruihuan strategy of planting factional followers up and down the city bureaucracy so that he maintains residual influence on the city for years down the road.....

  本报讯 重庆市政府新闻发言人周波昨日称,重庆在50多天内打掉14个横行该市多年的黑恶势力团伙,19名首犯全部落网,100多名黑社会性质组织骨干成员全部缉拿归案。在严厉打击黑恶势力的同时,警方在查封、扣押涉黑人员的企业资产账号时给企业保留下生产经营资金,保证企业正常经营活动不受影响。

周波称,在全国开展的打黑除恶专项行动开始以来,重庆市重拳出击对恶势力进行了拉网式的全天候的密集打击。经过50多天的战役攻坚,重庆警方已抓获了一批犯罪嫌疑人,缴获了一批枪支弹药和管制刀具,查封冻结了一大批涉案资产,14个横行该市多年的黑恶势力团伙已受到了打击,首犯陈明亮、龚刚模、陈坤志、岳村,樊奇杭、王兴强、王天伦等19人无一漏网,100多名黑社会性质组织骨干成员全部缉拿归案。

据介绍,经过近50天的专项集中整治,该市现行命案破案率达到了91.35%,高于全国平均水平2.95个百分点,破命案积案超过过去五年的总和,抓获故意杀人逃犯同比上升了20.7%,杀人犯罪下降了14.74%,创造了五年来同期的最低。

据此间了解,在被抓的犯罪嫌疑人中,有不少是当地的企业家和商人,其中不乏亿万富翁。周波表示,重庆警方在查封、扣押涉案企业资产账号时给企业保留下生产经营资金,指定不涉案负责人管理经营,保证涉案企业不掉链、不断档,保证了诸如今普食品有限公司、渝强集团实业有限公司等涉案企业的正常经营活动。

周波称,不久前重庆市司法局局长文强因严重违纪被双规,充分证明了重庆市委市政府打黑除恶的决心是坚决的,不管背景有多深、关系有多复杂、经济实力有多大,只要侵害了党和人民的利益都将一查到底、绝不手软。     中新

In fact, you can write Twitter entries in Chinese characters and get a lot more across. Just depends on the audience. See you in Twitterville. @gwbstr
