Visit China Information Network, set up by the PRC government, for the latest laws, regulations, and speeches. (Sorry, all in Chinese). This is a great site! Thanks, X.M.!

Internet Technologies has a wealth of information on every sector of the booming Chinese economy, but they are the makers of Souhoo, the best Chinese search engine, which is similar toYahoo. Thanks, J.H.!
