Rhetoric is buried as Jiang remembers paramount leader
Article Abstract:
Chinese President Jiang Zimen, speaking at the funeral of Deng Ziaoping, promised to proceed with the economic reforms left by the late leader who propelled China to prosperity and modern living. However, his job to continue the reforms is bound to encounter numerous obstacles, such as citizen unrest. Furthermore, some businessmen and academicians maintain that China cannot proceed with the remaining restructuring process unless business and government, as well as government and party, are taken apart.

Eased austerity will buoy China slightly, selectively
Article Abstract:
China reduced deposit rates by an average of 1.5 percentage points and lending rates by 1.2 percentage points in mid-Aug. 1996. The government has also eased its 3 1/2-year austerity program. Analysts predict that these developments will spur faster economic growth, although not in the magnitude of the double-digit growth that ended in 1993. The economy is expected to grow more slowly and steadily, with infrastructure and the stock market benefiting significantly.
