You first: Japan's big car makers remain wary of China

Article Abstract:

Japanese car makers are less eager than their international competitors for a share of the potentially huge Chinese market. While they remain mainland China's largest importers, they remain cautious about the joint ventures and technology transfers that Beijing is demanding for the future. Germany's Volkswagen remains the largest outside maker of cars within China. Japanese companies remain dubious about the quality potential and worried about the likelihood of strikes and official entanglements in local factories.

Article Abstract:

Shanghai has seen the greatest rise in property prices in all of China. The increases came only since 1991, but prices now exceed Canton's by two to three times. In 1992, 201 leases were signed with the city, up from seven the year before. The city is taking full advantage of its popularity, extracting up to a 40% position in new developments. The $2 billion it netted in 1992 is targeted for relocation, transportation and infrastructure.
