China develops new vaccines to fight bird flu:- Harbin (China) \| May 25, 2005 7:40:28 PM IST Harbin (China), May 25 : Chinese scientists said Wednesday they had developed two new vaccines that could effectively check the spread of the deadly bird flu virus. Chen Hualan, director of the China National Bird Flu Reference Laboratory here said the two new vaccines developed by her laboratory had passed a state-level appraisal and had acquired a permit from the Chinese agriculture ministry for sale in the market, Xinhua reported. "Experiments show the efficiency rate of the newly developed vaccines in preventing infection by the H5N1 virus is 100 percent," said Chen. She said they were willing to provide technical support to other countries to prevent the spread of the virus to other countries and regions. To prevent the fatal avian disease from spreading further in China, the new vaccines have been sent to Gangcha county in western Qinghai province, where 178 geese were found dead early this month after contracting the deadly H5N1 virus. The Chinese agriculture ministry made an announcement about the incident Saturday. They were the first cases of bird flu that China has reported since July last year. news.webindia123.com

I don't think they had a choice in the face of the French referendum on the EU constitution. My guess is that the rhetoric will die down after the Dutch vote and that the positives of the China trade will be accentuated. However, similar to the situation in the U.S., once the cat is out of the bag it will be difficult to stop enterprising politicians from getting on the protectionism bandwagon. In more ways than one, it looks like we are heading worldwide back into the 20's and 30's.
