It cracks me up that the default announcement from government officials in China is always "things are fine!" They should just make it official and start a Ministry of Reassuring Foreign Investors.

It occurred to me yesterday that SSIC could do double-duty as a SARS monitoring system. I wonder if we can get extra money for that.
