Is the Economy Starting to Recover? Or Just Less Bad?

Could it be that things are beginning to get better for the U.S. economy?
But As the AIG continut to be bad .Nope, no real chance of that. But a spate of somewhat better-than-expected economic numbers this week and last has forecasters declaring that the pace of decline seems to have slowed.
Wednesday's stronger-than-expected data on durable-goods orders (up 3.4% in February, but from a January number that had been revised downward) was a "slim silver lining on the horizon," UniCredit Research economist Harm Bandholz wrote in a note to clients. But, he was quick to point out, "investment and exports continue to plummet."
From Paris to Shanghai to the whole mood of investors as well as the economic environment,completely different,because the European economy is still stable, emotionally U.S. downturn. But China's economy has shown signs of revival, the situation is much better than the external.6.7month data will be a noticeable pick-up. We can see from the Chinese of the three pillars of economic growth: net exports, fixed assets investment, consumption, a look at China's economy to recovery.
Another issue is that while there are signs that housing and consumer spending in the U.S. are no longer in the free fall of a few months ago, other parts of the economy are still in sharp decline. To quote Shepherdson again: "The epicenter of the recession has shifted from the consumer to the corporate sector." And it's possible that corporate cutbacks could lead to a relapse among consumers. "The main downside risk probably lies in sharper-than-expected multiplier effects via the dramatic deterioration in the labor market," warned Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius on Monday after predicting that consumer spending would rise for the rest of the year. "Both the weekly and monthly labor market indicators still show an accelerating employment contraction."
In other words, nobody really knows if we've hit a turning point yet. But it is at least ever so slightly encouraging that they're starting to talk about one.

If the Gov should forbid the "Shanzhai"culture?

there are much matters in 2009.the most important matter is National People's Congress&National Committee of CPPCC Annual Sessions 2009  in China .before the meeting start,there are many Deputies said their own view  .which including many ,for example about Energy, weather. Pollution. Military and cultural. Education and so on .there is a deputy talk to Media to her ciew about th "Shanzhai"culture .she said the "Shanzhai"like a wind .and this wind is too rampant .and there is everywhere in the internet,everywhere rampant,especially minors, a lot of people can access, they do not know which are true which is false. many replication, many pirated. The most terrible is the so-called "Shanzhai" is the name of folk culture with the roots of the banner, but do not complete the same things are a lot of piracy and counterfeiting.so he said the Gov should forbid the "Shanzhai "culture .when her words spead out .a lot of Netizen compained her .even there are many netizen said the CCTV and many TV should for bid her .many people don't know why her said it .However ,there are other deputies said their own view about this .one said After 30 years reform and opening ,there is various cultures Emerged.and the mindset of the people has been very open.so we should should be inclusive.

As the Shanzhai's "big hit", from mobile phones to computer monitors, Samsung's style, LOGO was no small Shanzhai manufacturers "cloning." Attitude towards cottage Products, Samsung is also very clear, can not accommodate.

Lenovo Mobile is not the target of the "Shanzhai"clone directly.but the domestic mobile phone , without exception, in the last two years ,Pursued and harried by the "Shanzhai"resulting in performance going from bad to worse.

"Zhanzhai culture" are the actual civil ancient expression of a particular form, only the people today known as "Zhanzhai" in the name of it.this words said by  Ning Zhang (literary critic, professor at Beijing Normal University).

I agree his words.Chinese law is very sound,so the "shanzhai"culture should be tolerance ,"Sahnzhai"cluture is now such a state of good development, and no need to go to it specifically to do what the legislative norms.just like R&B ,somepeople don't like it ,but somepeople like it very much .in a word ,no matter if you like ,or dislike ,it's It will exist.
