2 news items re China and Chinese from yesterday's Wall Street Journal:

(1) "U.S. to Press China on Drywall; Top Consumer Safety Official Will Ask Beijing to Help Pay for Damage to Homes.
Washington---The new chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission said she would ask China to help pay for the billions of dollars in damage to U.S. homes blamed on Chinese-made drywall.....The CPSC has received about 1,500 reports from residents in 27 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico who blame health problems and property damage on Chinese drywall in their homes. State and local authorities have received similar reports that include homeowner complaints about respiratory problems, bloody noses and recurrent headaches. The Chinese drywall is under investigation for emitting sulfide fumes suspected of causing the homeowner complaints."

2) "Ex-Ford Worker Indicted in Secrets Theft.
