Driving in China? Good luck! Jim Yardley, New York Times March 21, 2004 CHINADRIVE0321 BEIJING -- For the aspiring motorists taking the driving exam at a government building not long ago, one true/false question probably appeared a touch unusual: If you come upon an auto accident and find a motorist lying unconscious on the road, should you shake that person violently to wake him up?

The agreement should help China reduce its dependence on coal, substituting a clean fuel for a very dirty one.

Couldn't a gas pipeline follow the old silk road into China, or are there too many unfriendly neighbors along the way? Art
