Sun announced that the detained aircrew in Hainan will be released. The crew of a U.S. spy plane has been held on Hainan since April 1. By Angela Macias Daily Texan Staff Scholars debated Wednesday the present and future relationship between China and the United States in light of the 24 U.S. military personnel that were held in Beijing at a UT discussion sponsored by the Center for Asian Studies. Held in the William C. Hogg Building, a panel composed of a major in the U.S. Army and four Asian Studies and government professors, one of whom is a Chinese citizen, discussed perceptions Americans hold on the situation leading up to the release and the effects it will have on U.S.-China relations. Panelists blamed the Clinton and Bush administrations for complicating U.S. policies in relations with China. "We are paying a price for inconsistencies in the Clinton administration and China's relations," said Ross Terrill, a government professor.
Guam: A Relative Tax Haven guam scholars and politicians should initiate further studies. The same experts say that if guams population One of the ways this us territory after all http://www.admin.gov.gu/commerce/guam_tax_haven.htm
Extractions: Bank of Hawaii (Excerpts) Abstract Introduction and an International Setting A World Class U.S. Tax Haven The small Catholic society has been frequently presented with one serious challenge – whether to legalize gambling so the island can generate more revenues. But so far the society has resisted. Nevertheless we have got to do something. We have to break this so called "status quo" and think of ways to improve our existing economic condition as well as create a road map for our future, fast. One of the ways this U.S. Territory after all could do to increase population and related businesses is to adopt a world class relative tax haven under the best known and the most reliable judicial protection of the United States. Is it possible? Yes, it is. A Low Flat Tax Rate System The U.S. Version of Hong Kong Hong Kong for so long has had a flat tax structure (but was never a tax haven). This simple and one-of-a-kind tax structure has made Hong Kong what it is today (obviously among other elements). Hong Kong was able to afford this because of the boom in society as a whole brought property values up thus higher property taxes are possible. Businesses and individuals in Hong Kong are used to not paying significant income taxes. However, Hong Kong is changing. Due to its revert back to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1997, it now has to deal with a new tax relationship with PRC and it has to amend many tax treaties with various countries. Hong Kong’s tax structure has changed and will continue to change unfavorably. The most significant change, however, is the Sino-U.S. trade relationship and even the political standings. The recent bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia by U.S. led NATO and the Chinese Nuclear Espionage case have both very seriously altered many conventional thinking in both countries and policies toward each other. As a result, many U.S. and western nation corporations may have to rethink their trade strategies toward China. They may also face retaliations from China in every possible way, certainly including business activities. So there may be some "moving" initiatives again.
Guam Repeals Helmet Law For Adults guam is a us territory, where as they say there, guam where America s day begins. The sponsor of Bill 7, Senator Elizabeth BarretAnderson, was extremely http://www.bikersrights.com/world/guam.html
Extractions: U.S. Territory Of Guam Repeals Helmet Law For Adult Motorcyclists GUAM. Tom Matanane, president of the Guam HAWGS Motorcycle Club, reported to the MRF that on March 16,1997, Guam's Governor Carl T.C. Gutierrez signed into law Bill #7, which gives motorcyclists 18 years of age and older the right to decide for themselves whether or not to wear a helmet. The law went into effect at midnight, so on March 17, 1997, motorcyclists in Guam were able to legally ride without a helmet. Guam is a U.S. territory, where as they say there, "Guam where America's day begins." The sponsor of Bill #7, Senator Elizabeth Barret-Anderson, was extremely successful in moving the legislation through the Guam Senate. Bill #7 passed the Guam Senate unanimously on a 21 to zero vote. Guam has a unicameral legislature, so once the legislation passed the Senate it was sent on to Governor Gutierrez for his signature. "The Guam Hawgs should take great pride and be commended for bringing freedom of choice to American motorcyclists," stated Wayne Curtin, MRF vice president of government relations. Curtin continued by saying, "This is the second time in a week that legislation repealing helmet laws for adults has been enacted in a state or territory of the United States. This shows that with continued perseverance motorcyclists in every state and territory of the United States have the ability to convince legislators and governors that freedom of choice for motorcyclists is the best public policy."

Extractions: What's It Like to Live on Guam? by Brenna Lorenz Are you planning to move to Guam, or looking into a job here? Or are you just curious about what life is like out on a small island in the middle of the Pacific? These pages are intended to answer your questions! Click on the thumbnail photographs to see the full-sized annotated pictures. All photographs on these pages were taken by Brenna Lorenz and Mike Pulte. The temperature here is pretty constant throughout the year; it's almost always fairly hot (in the high eighties, Fahrenheit). It feels hotter than it actually is because of the high humidity. It gets a little cooler (a few degrees) in the "winter," that is, around January through March. It is never cold or even close to it, although people who have lived here awhile complain they are freezing on those rare days when the temperature drops down into the 70s. The only way to get cold on Guam is to go into places with air conditioning. Some places go nuts with AC. My classroom at the University of Guam, for example, is so cold that students have been known to come to class wearing parkas and gloves. Guam has two seasons, the wet season (July - December) and the dry season (January - June). For people accustomed to temperate zone climates, the differences between these seasons are subtle. Some years we have a wet dry season or a dry wet season, making the distinction even less obvious. During the dry season, the winds typically intensify. These are the trade winds. The weather may be dry enough so that the grass turns brown and we get a lot of brush fires. Intermittent streams may dry up. During the wet season, we get rain several times a day.

Extractions: MICRONESIAN MIGRANTS LIVING IN POVERTY IN HAWAII, U.S. TERRITORIES, SAYS REPORT By Haidee V. Eugenio SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands (October 29, 2001 - Marianas Variety/PINA Nius Online)-Many Micronesians who migrated to the Northern Marianas, Guam and Hawaii under provisions of a Compact of Free Association "live in poverty," a report concludes. Migrants from the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau have cost these American islands at least $371 million from 1986 through 2000, the report said. The report is titled "Foreign Relations: Migrations from Micronesian Nations Has Had Significant Impact on Guam, Hawaii and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands." It was prepared by the United States General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of the United States Congress. The Compacts of Free Association govern relations between America and those parts of the former Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands that opted for independence. They give America some military and foreign affairs rights in exchange for economic assistance and immigration access to the United States. The report says that under the Compacts 14,000 people have moved to neighboring American Pacific islands, mostly in search of work and educational opportunities.

A New Low For The U.S. Constitution? political status as an unincorporated territory where residents over which provisions of the us constitution, which now apply to guam, would continue. http://epsilon3.georgetown.edu/~coventrm/asa2001/panel10/
Extractions: Smithsonian Institution This roundtable discussion proposes to take up the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Rice v. Cayetano On behalf of the Respondent, Hawai`i's Governor Benjamin Cayetano, the state argued that the OHA's limitation on the right to vote was not based upon race but the unique status of Hawaiian people and that the classification met rational basis review under Morton v. Mancari because the state and federal government have a "special relationship"-trust and obligation-to "native Hawaiians" that is analogous to the federal government's relationship with American Indian tribes. Hence, the limitation on the right to vote for the OHA trustees is based on a legal classification determined by those who constitute the beneficiaries of the trust managed by that Office. However, the state obligations to Hawai`i's indigenous people were not sufficient to convince the Supreme Court of the unique political situation of Hawaiian people that justified the exclusive OHA elections process.
