Notable China-related quotes from the last week:
Zeng Xiangquan, a member of the unemployment survey team from China’s National Bureau of Statistics on the country’s real urban unemployment rate:
“The urban unemployment rate has possibly surpassed 27% if China’s unemployment survey is in line with international practice.”
Edward Yu, chief executive of Analysys International, a Beijing tech consulting firm, on why Baidu does better than Google in China:
"It’s not that Baidu is doing a better job than Google with products; some are actually worse. The problem is brand awareness. People don’t know Google. They don’t even know how to pronounce it."
Ina Hut, former head of the Netherlands’ largest adoption agency, on Chinese officials stealing and trafficking babies:
"In the beginning, I think, adoption from China was a very good thing because there were so many abandoned girls. But then it became a supply-and-demand-driven market and a lot of people at the local level were making too much money.”
Dorjee Khandu, Arunachal Pradesh chief minister, on China’s cold war with India:
“The idea is: The more the expenditure on defense, the less the money spent on development. In short they are bent on weakening India through this game of psychological warfare.”
