Unrepentant dissident defies China's leaders

Article Abstract:

Chinese dissident Wang Xizhe is pressuring the communist government to overturn the charges that sent him to prison for 12 years for his role in the Democracy Wall Movement. Wang was released in Feb 1993 and authorities continue to monitor his activities. Wang remains committed to Marxism but believes that the communist party has outlived its usefulness. He supports the need to raise living standards through the market economy and plans to start a trading company.

Acer trumped

Article Abstract:

Taiwan's Acer Corp. chairman Stan Shih offered to resign his chairmanship because of Acer Corp.'s 1991 losses, a promise he had made in 1990 to reverse Acer Corp.'s dwindling fortunes. His resignation was not accepted by the company's managers who still believed in Shih's leadership. Observers, however, expressed skepticism about the company's ability for a turnaround because of the prevailing situation in the personal computer market.
