Stories on China in WSJ 11/29/06 (#272, Topic B)

I was not planning to sign on to my blog until in the afternoon. However, while reading today's Wall Street Journal, I cannot help being impressed by its extensive coverage of China-related stories. In Section A alone (20 pages, including 6 full-page ads), I find the following headlines (shown with interior words capitalized) as well as text references:
1) "Eyeing a Billion Tea Drinkers, Starbuck Pours It On in China"(front page + p A12, complete with a chart, a photo of Beijing, and a sketch)
2) "Foreign Banks in China Receive More Time to Follow New Rules" (p A8)
3) "Public concern that trade is driving a wedge between winners and losers in the U.S. economy, he [Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson] said, is a factor in tension between the U.S. and China" (Story on Paulson's talk in London yesterday; the quote is his response to a question after the talk) (p A11)
4) "Beijing Corruption Probe Rattles Supermarket Chain" (p A16)
5) "Miller Beer to Be Sold in China" (p A16)
6) "China Set to Name Catholic Bishop Without Consent" (p A17)
7) "In China, Anheuser-Busch's profit climbed more than 20% in the past year" (Story on Anheuser-Busch; the headline is: "Brewer Warns of Profit Fall In Internatioanl Operations", p A14)
8) "There are many more places, such as China and the former Eastern Europe, where high returns can be had" in an editorial entitled "The Devaluationists" (p A18)
