On Friday, the health officials said that the program will begin on Nov 16.

The program means the capital is the first city in China who is going to inoculate all of its registered permanent residents, some 12 million people.

The 12 million vaccinations is about one fifth of total inoculations nationally in China by the end of this year.

Till Nov 6, 2009, Beijing had inoculated 440,000 residents. Most of them were students and people who worked in important service departments. But interest in vaccination has varied.

A medical worker surnamed Liu who worked for Beijing Beanstalk International Bilingual School said that there were less than 20 percent of students who had signed up for the inoculation. The school has, include both elementary and secondary school, more than 300 students from 20 countries worldwide.

She added many of the parents of international students do not trust the quality of the Chinese made vaccines.

The vaccine has been tried and tested and had proven effective with little and harmless side effect, said Zhao Tao, director of the emergency response office under the Beijing Health Bureau. So far, the H1N1 vaccination program nationwide has arrived over 5 million.

However, Zhao emphasized all the choices will be respected.

Some 402 clinics will be opened across the city from Nov 16 to Dec 13, during the whole extended vaccination program. People will be able to get their free shots any available day before the end of the program.

Till now, the injections could only be used to people younger than 60.

Zhan said non-Beijiners living temporarily in the city who worked in important public service departments in the city could also be able to get their free shots.

Besides 12 million official residents, there are around 5 million people in Beijing who do not have a hukou. For them, the chance to have inoculation is slim. The pandemic has caused some 52,000 people in sickness, killed 16, in mainland China.

The way of recording H1N1 deaths will change, the ministry announced on Nov 6, 2009.

Under the new rules, people who appear to be cured of H1N1 but who die of preexisting conditions and of mixed flu virus infections, including the H1N1 strain, will be counted as H1N1 deaths.

Fend Zijina, director of the emergency response department at the Chinese Centers of Disease Prevention and Control, said that it is in line with international practice and is more accurate in reflecting the pandemic situation here in China.

Citing people familiar with the situation, the report in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday pointed that Morgan Stanley had asked potential buyers to submit indicative first-round bids for its 34.3 percent stake in CICC.

It reported the deal may obtain more than $1 billion.

Two people work for the US investment band and CICC, who both would like to keep anonymity, confirmed separately the news, saying that the CICC stake sale was a signal to Morgan Stanley setting up another local joint venture.

The Chinese government will not agree with the new joint venture, unless it sells the CICC stake, the sources added.

Morgan Stanley is going to form a joint venture securities firm with Shanghai-based China Fortune Securities Co, which it will have more management say.

Morgan Stanley was the first foreign investment bank who entered the country in the year 1995 when it invested $35 million in partnership with State-owned China Construction Bank to form CICC.

As one of the China’s biggest investment bank, CICC has specialized in clear up Stateowned firms in front of initial public offerings.

However, Morgan Stanley did not have much influence over CICC’s management led by Zhu Yunlai, the president of the enterprise, and had limited control to the operation of the brokerage during the past ten years.

The time that the US firm began to selling its stake was in 2007. Several international private-equity firms all included in the final bidders, such as Bain Capital, TPG and a consortium comprising General Atlantic, Starr International and JC Flowers.

However, early in the year 2008, this process came to an end after offers came in below expectations amid the onset of the global credit crisis.

The Financial Times reported, quoting people familiar with the situation, by the end of the first round, the original offer of more than $1 billion for the stake had dropped to around $600 million.
This followed a due-diligence process when bidders fond that the CICC management was unsatisfied with the current shareholding arrangement.

Under the structure, non-voting shares were allowed by the management which entitled them to paid dividends and could effectively dilute Morgan Stanley’s shareholding to around 27 percent.

But on Nov. 5, 2009, a source from CICC announced that this time around, it was very likely that Morgan Stanley is going sell its 34.3- percent stake for $1 billion since China’s booming stock market could propose considerable bargaining power on the seller’s side.

In 2007 the CICC’s net profit was 1.24 billion yuan, however, in the year 2008, the net profit dropped 49 percent to 627.4 million yuan. Net profit is expected to climb this year amid a rebound in China’s capital markets, one of the few bright spots worldwide. CICC has taken on little debt and has concentrated on fee income, leaving it with a strong balance sheet.

After inheriting the stake originally held by China Construction Bank, China’s sovereign wealth fund, China Investment Corp, became its largest shareholder with a 43.35- percent stake. Government of Singapore In vestment Corp, another sovereign wealth fund, holds a 7.35-percent stake.

Chinese officials pressed for foreign countries to create a convenient and fair environment to make it easier for Chinese investors to continue to invest.

Comparing with the traditional big spenders, including the United States and European countries, who slowed their outbound investment, investment from China in overseas markets has increasing remarkably recently.

Zhang Xiaoqiang, vice-director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said despite the world’s financial crisis, China was still raising its overseas efforts. Many of China’s companies were active investors.

China’s overseas direct investment rose 190 percent in the third quarter during the same period last year. According to the statistics from the Ministry of Commerce, the investment reached to $32.87 billion for the first nine months.

Zhang added that growth has been a blessing for many countries recently.

Jon Huntsman, the US ambassador to China had the same opinion. He said that China’s investment was significant in improving and stimulating the world economy.

The US has benefited from the investments of other nations, Huntsman added. Throughout the 2003-to-2008 period, countries invested over $325 billion in some 4,300 projects in the US.

China was one of the nations whose investment in the US is fastest-growing, said Huntsman, with an annual growth rate in investment amount of 30% in 2004-2008 periods.

Taffere Tesfachew, chief of the Office of the Secretary-General under the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) said that China is one of the leading nations in stimulating the revival of developing economies by way of investment.

The figures from UNCTAD shows that in the year 2008, investment flowing out of the US declined by 18 percent to $312 billion, meanwhile flowing from EU nations fall by 30 percent to $837 billion. However, emerging economies, especially China, increased overseas investment, Tesfachew said.

He also said that nations and regional areas would benefit a lot from it, Africa and Asia in particular.

Some small islands in Caribbean like Grenada have great sunshine to grow plants and many other advantageous sectors to tap, F. Marcelle Gairy, Grenada’s ambassador to China, said. China has good technology to achieve their dreams.

She added it was win-win investment.

Mifzal Ahmed, advisor on investments for the Maldives’ Ministry of Economic Development, said China’s technology was cheaper, innovative and very practical.

Although the UNCTAD predicts that the investment outflows from Asia will slow down its speed this year, the organization still believes this region will still excel the rest of the world.

Tesfachew said outflows from China and India were the most prominent.

The new service is aimed to help Chinese users use Google’s existing search services like Web search and Google Maps via cell phones.

Till now the Chinese version voice search provided by Google can only be used for Nokia’s S60 series, which includes 46 models of handsets. But Vic Gundotra, Google’s engineering vice-president, claimed that the service will expanded to other platforms soon after, which include Apple Inc’s iPhone and Android-based handsets.

Lin Bin, deputy director of Google China Research Center said in a statement that mobile Internet era is coming; mobile phones will soon become as powerful as personal computers. However, since the kinds of mobile phones are limited, the searching on a mobile is extremely hard.

In 2008, English voice search service is provided by Google, which contains images and maps, for the handsets of Android, Nokia S60, Black-Berry and iPhone.

Google aimed to make its mobile search business surpass the PC-based Internet search business, said Lin.

During the past few years, Google made efforts to catch up with Chinese domestic leader Baidu Inc which flung the former as a second player in China’s online search engine market. Since 2009, Google has been popularizing its mobile search service vigorously in China, where the users of mobile phone are already passed 700 million.

According to figures from domestic research firm Analysis International, Baidu is still the market leader in China, which takes over 60 percent of the search market share. However, in China’s mobile search market, Google is a little bit in front of Baidu whose share reached 26 percent in the second quarter in 2009 while the former clinched 26.6 percent.

Chinese search engine Baidu claimed in October that it cooperated with China Unicom to provide wireless search for the carrier’s 3G mobile subscribers. On Friday, the popular iPhone was launched by China Unicom in China.

Experts predicted with the mobile phone users can surf the Internet via handsets, the mobile search is becoming one of the most attractive markets for search engines to expand their service beyond personal computers.

Due to China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), by the end of June, the number of China’s Internet users achieved to 338 million, while the mobile Internet users increased 32.1 percent to 155 million.

Comparing with the 390 million people within the country who are considered at high risk of the disease, the vaccine supply is limited, Liang Wannian, deputy director of the emergency response office of the Ministry of Health, said on Nov 1.

So far, almost 52.9 million doses of the vaccine, which produced by eight domestic manufacturers, have been approved by the top drug authority. According to the ministry’s plans, 65 million people will be inoculated by the end of the year.

Now total cases and fatalities are both increasing sharply, it considered as the pandemic peaked in the country. The mass inoculation program is imperative. The young, seniors and those serving key posts in public service are high-risk group, among who will have the priority to get inoculation.

According to Liang, in China, the peak of the H1N1 pandemic will last until next March, during this period infections and deaths will increase constantly and rapidly.

The H1N1 vaccination is free and voluntary, if possible everyone should get one as soon as possible, he added.

He also said that the vaccine had proven to be safe and effective and so far most of the adverse reactions from injection had been proven mild and temporary.

Just one day before Liang’s warning, Premier Wen Jiabao called upon the tightened measures for H1N1 influenza since the country is faced with a “severe situation”.

During a visit to a children’s hospital in Beijing, Premier Wen said China is faced with daunting challenges to prevent and control of H1N1 and the number of patients infected by the epidemic are likely to have a sharp increase in some areas.

Premier Wen said the country faces a serious work in preventing the spread of the flu strain, appealing to more people on a voluntary basis to be vaccinated while the vaccine production should be raised.

He added it should be encouraged to get vaccinated as early as possible and at the same time the research into and production of vaccines must be progressed.

It is showed in television that Wen with a mask tied over his face, talking with children, parents and people who worked at the hospital.

Medical staff should take care of themselves and avoid infection during the treatments of the patients, he added.

By far, it has reported nearly 45,000 infections in China, including six deaths, the latest was known on Saturday in Heilongjiang province which is in the northeast part of China.

This recent patient was a local adult of the capital Harbin, according to a cryptonym official who is responsible for publicity in the Heilongjiang provincial health department.

It is added by Xinhua News Agency that a cold snap which going to attack on northern China may raise the flu risk up.

But Wen still remains optimism. He believes that the country is fully confident and has the ability to prevent outbreaks. He said that we must do everything we could to reduce the number of serious cases and deaths.

There is an old warehouse along Suzhou Creek in Shanghai, things here go bump at night, decapitated ghouls and Nosferatu float around in creepy darkness. It’s a night full of shrieks in a house full of hair-raising, heart-throbbing creatures and gadgets.

They call it “Shanghai Nightmare”, which is the first American style haunted house in China; it has received more than 10,000 visitors over 5 weeks since it opened. Gan Quan which is the Co-founder of this said that it had received 800 guests every single day (day, night) which is also twice of the number they had expected and planned for.

Last Saturday, things had gone bump even outside the house and the ghouls could have flown under the open sky. But unfortunately, the planned Halloween party had to be cancelled out of safety concern, the 26-year-old Gan said.

This 107-year-old 500-sq-m haunted house has contained: ghouls, ghosts, a stomach-churning, “beheading room” and other props such as a jailhouse door and also all the scary gears to maintain a scary ambience.

As the light went out, the intrepid visitors were blanketed in darkness upon setting foot in the first corridor. And there were 13 horror walkways, starting with one on which a girl in a nightgown crawls across a darkened hallway. And then there were horror rooms full of rogue surgeons, dead teenagers and cockroaches on the walls.

Lin Li, a 19-year-student had been scared several times during the time in the dark room with all those bodies popping out everywhere. The whole idea is cool, especially the day before Halloween, Li said.

Gan said that this haunted house was unlike anything that people have seen in China. The house tells a story. It combines art, thrills and a touch of magic and it brings together some of the most stunning audio and visual effects in America.

China has its own tradition ghosts and ghouls, Gan, who grew up in the US, with his partner Charlie Xu saying that they built this Nightmare in Shanghai to give Chinese a real tastes of Halloween.

The Halloween House idea came from Gan’s visit in Shanghai in October in 2008 and he found the people of Shanghai are ready for it and it to have a promising market for Halloween parties.

Taobao, the biggest online commercial site, shows us the sales of the most popular Halloween prop, the pumpkin light, reached 100,000 last week and 2,000 masks were sold across the counter in two days in Shanghai. People turn to online shopping since Halloween goods and customers are usually difficult to find in stores, said one prop buyer, surnamed Zhang.

Also some Taobao shops promoted tombstone-shaped chocolates, vampire bats and spiders to meet consumers’ special needs during the last week of October.

Also Shanghai’s comic artists have been bitten by the Halloween bug. Young artists from Changning Folk Culture Centre were planning to organize a ghost-themed evening party of cross talk.

The vaccine producer Hualan Biological rose 2.47 percent to 57.7 yuan in Shenzhen on Oct 27 while Layn Natural Ingredients rose 2.93 percent to 44.94 yuan.

As Shenzhen Neptunus Bioengineering Co increased 9.24 percent to 15.85 yuan, Zhejiang CONBA Pharmaceutical Co LTD also increased 6.13 percent to 12.12 yuan. China Meheco Corporation closed at 20.98 yuan yesterday, 10 percent up.

The share market also goes well and the five companies’ shares hit the daily limits of 10 percent on Monday.

An industrial analyst Cai Jianjun pointed, the recent gain is mainly underpinned by government orders for vaccines.

China faced a grim situation in containing the disease as the number of cases has risen, said Health Minister Chen Zhu. As of Oct 26, china reported 35,664 H1N1 inflection with 3 deaths, and also in the US President Obama declared that H1N1 a national emergency on Oct 24.

Expert with the ministry of health’s expert panel Xi Xiuming, said there is no reason for any panic but alertness is needed.

Central government has also been massively buying the H1N1 vaccines. And Hualan said it won an order for 11.21 million doses of its flu vaccine from the central government. Beijing Tiantan said it has won an order for 3.02 million doses. Sinovac Biotech received an additional order of 5.19 million.

New York listed company also gained 7.61 percent to close at $8.06 apiese on Monday and all the doses must be delivered by Dec 12.

Cai said that he still feels that the boom in H1N1 vaccine stocks stems largely from speculation, but there are two domestic companies can benefit from the new orders which are Beijing and Tiantan.

Li Yingpeng, the analyst of Galaxy Securities said that this is not the first ever rally of the vaccine sector. Since the H1N1 outbreak in Mexico in March, the pharmaceutical shares have risen many times however, that does not completely reflect their true performance. However for those companies which have won the vaccine orders, there will be substantial improvement in balance sheet. For example, a single dose is priced at 20 yuan, Hualan’s latest order can earn 200 million yuan, which may bring about 100 million yuan of profits.
