Shenzhen government implements a series of measures to control the high rise of daily goods like grain, vegetables, fruits and meats. More than 300 trucks with these goods are selling to Shenzhen residents each day at different communities and neighborhood across Shenzhen. See bellow photos:
In the past 2011, the Chinese government firstly worked hard to control the housing price which has brought an apparent decline of housing prices in Shenzhen and other big cities. Similar to the housing price, prices of our daily necessities like food, cooking oil, meat, vegetables, water, electricity have been rising at a rate faster than people’s income here in China. Thus the Chinese government makes the price control of these daily necessities the top priority in 2011 or even 2012.
Other than supporting the project to sell these daily necessities to residents at cheap price, Chinese government also take other measures such as tightening monetary policy, cracking down on illegal speculation, increasing food supplies and reducing circulation costs.
Thanks to these government measures and manipulation, the inflation has been slowing down in the second half of 2011, the price of daily necessities is stable currently.

Q:Firefox highlights all links in pink with dotted borders, how do I make it stop doing this?
Firefox highlights all links on web pages in pink with a dotted border. Sometimes the links are not highlighted when I first visit a new site, but after a few clicks then Firefox highlights all of them everywhere and it often makes the navigation difficult to read with all the pink boxes everywhere. How can I make Firefox stop doing this?
A: If the background of links is red then that is probably caused by an extension like SEO or SearchStatus that has the option set to highlight noFollow links.
You can check the options of such an extension.
You can click the icon on the Status bar to open the SearchStatus options and un-tick “Highlight NoFollow Links”
Followed the above tips to disable the add-on SearchStatus, the Firefox dotted borders around active links disappeared. Here is the easy steps to remove dotted borders from links in firefox which caused by the addon.
Go Tools >> Add-ons>>Extensions, locate the add-on ‘ SearchStatus ‘ on the right, click ‘Disable’ button and restart Firefox.

Taoism classic sayings – How to be a great leader? Business has much to learn from the Taoism. The art of life, the art of management!
Tao Te Ching (Daodejing) was the Taoism classic which illustrated a unique way of life and philosophy in China. The Daodejing presented a way of life intended to restore harmony and tranquility to a kingdom with widespread disorders.
In an earlier post, I put together some quotes from this great wisdom book by one of the greatest prophets in ancient China, Laozi. See: A bit About Taoism, Laozi and Tao Te Ching
Here are more classic sayings from the great book teaching people how to be a great leader. In my opinion, business has much to learn from the Taoism. The art of life, the art of management!
- The sage does not keep things to himself. The more he offers, the more he has. The more he gives away, the more he receives.
- If you want to be above the people, place yourself below them first. If you want to be the leader of men, put their interest before your own. Therefore they can support you without feeling it is a burden.
- To be noble, you must take the humble as your root.
- He who is good at bringing act the best in men takes a humble attitude.

Ma Yun (Jack Ma), the CEO of Alibaba, recently supported his staff to purchase real estate from one of his best friends Weiping Song who is in charge of the real estate developer Green City. Although Ma provides interest-free loans to his staff for this, also the real estate company offers special discount for this group purchase. Many people still believe that Jack Ma is just doing his favor to help his friend.
Property prices fall in many big Chinese cities for several months since the central government carries out a series reform to cool down the China’s housing market. The Green City is one of the real estate companies that suffer from this reform. Transaction volumes fall, home prices stop rising but the real estate developers have to pay annual interest costs of 14% to 70% on their loans, small or middle size developers may run out of cash soon if the Chinese government does not ease up the tight credit policy.
But can Jack Ma save Green City? Will the housing price continue falling or is the turning point of the housing prices coming?
