The poorer nations of the planet had no choice, and used bicycles and public transportation exclusively. For example, when China was under Mao Tse Tung s rule, the number of private automobiles was only in the hundreds. 

A new coronavirus was quickly identified after the outbreak of an atypical pneumonia in southern China early in 2003. The new virus eventually caused 8,000 infections with approximately 800 deaths in 29 countries. The condition was named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS, and the causative coronavirus named SARS-CoV. The zoonotic nature of the infection came with the identification of a similar virus in bats (Poon et al. 2005), although it is possible that the bat virus passed through other animal hosts and recombined with other SARS-like coron-aviruses prior to infecting humans (Hon et al. 2008). SARS-CoV is not currently circulating in the human population however, the mysterious appearance and rapid spread of this virus emphasized how vulnerable the human population is to such respiratory infections. This has spurred interest in the development of antivirals that could be used either in treatment or as prophylaxis to complement public health measures in curbing future outbreaks.

Research interest in POPs appears to be a relatively recent phenomenon with a dramatic increase in the POPs related publications since 1993. Despite a significant number of research studies most of this is limited to studies of field exposure and analytical methods with few studies on risk assessment, alternatives to POPs or management and disposal techniques. Some participants pointed out that there have been few studies in China assessing the long-term effects of POPs on people or critical ecosystems, studies that would be particularly useful for decisionmakers and for increasing public awareness of the problems posed by such chemicals. 

Participants indicated that POPs issues are not widely understood by the general public in either China or the US. POPs issues are widely understood by US government officials and by professionals and scientists in China.

In November 2003, sixteen countries including non-OECD countries such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, joined the International Partnership for Hydrogen Economy (IPHE), a global, high-level political interface proposed by the United Stated to foster public and private cooperation on hydrogen and fuel cells. 

Discrimination continued in the public service and police, as part of the ingrained habit of demanding bribes differentially from those with more wealth and less power. Yet the speed of reversal of the heavy-handed assimilationist measures of Suharto was remarkable. China s rapid rise as an economic partner of Indonesia complemented the popular shift. In 1990 Suharto had finally accepted the inevitable...
