Extractions: L ocated in the eastern part of Aisa [ sic ] and to the west of the Pacific, China is a great country with an inviting charm and an air of Oriental mystery endowed by its splendid culture of unique depth.

Introduction T he above passage is a quotation S elling a nation first requires the manufacture of a national identity, a consumer construct that is integral to the project of nation-building. In the course of this short "webnography," I will examine Chinese cultural identity as it is formed and re-formed in www.cnta.com s various pages, and look at some of the ways in which nationalism and global capitalism meet in the arena of foreign tourism. Exploration of these two issues can enlarge our understanding of official nationalism, and of the Internet as a burgeoning medium for such a message. Chinese National Tourist Association Web site.

Unfortunately, plate tectonics and global air circulation patterns make disaster management important in that region, especially the west Pacific. Plate boundaries surround the Pacific Ocean, making the coastline (sometimes called the Rim of Fire) prone to volcanoes, earthquakes, and tidal waves; the warmth of the west equatorial Pacific provides enough energy for hurricanes; and winds in the Northern Hemisphere push hurricanes and other storms north, where they sometimes go ashore. The death and destruction that result are almost unimaginable. A storm that passed over Hong Kong in 1906 left 10,000 dead; one that crossed the Philippines in 1952 left 10,300 dead; and one that crossed Bangladesh in 1970 left 300,000 dead. Above right: Satellite image of the Pacific Ocean for July 6, 2000. Two storms are of interest to those in the western Pacific: typhoon Kirogi east of Japan and tropical storm Kai-Tak northwest of the Philippines. In FY 1995, after Hurricane Iniki caused $260 million in damage to Hawaii, Congress authorized the funding for a Pacific Disaster Center (PDC). The PDC is located in Hawaii and supports federal, regional, and international emergency managers along the Pacific Rim by providing high-quality, timely imagery, maps, and other value-added information products about natural and human-induced disasters, including hurricanes, tidal waves, floods, and earthquakes, via the Internet (

Extractions: In the past decade tragic stories about Chinese immigrants have made headlines around the world. In the U.S., 10 Chinese immigrants died trying to swim to shore when the Golden Venture, a ship carrying nearly 300 immigrants from southern China, ran aground off Rockaway, New York, in 1993. A Hong Kong-based human rights group estimates that half a million Chinese attempted or succeeded in illegally leaving the country in 1999 alone. Chinese organized criminal gangs such as the snakeheads operate worldwide, facilitating human smuggling and trafficking out of China. The International Organization for Migration reports that organized crime rings smuggle up to 200,000 Chinese migrants into Australia, Canada, the U.S., and other countries each year. Chinese women and children are trafficked for sexual exploitation to North America, Europe, and other Asian countries. In the U.S. several women working for an international ring reportedly responsible for trafficking as many as 100 victims a month were arrested in Houston, Texas, for transporting Chinese women into the country for prostitution. Los Angeles and New York are other common destination cities. In 1999, the Immigration and Nationalization Service estimated that up to 5,000 trafficked Chinese women were in L.A.
