| Fujian tea ceremony | Wikipedia | JL |
| 2003 |
| Last time during class, we mentioned that tea is one of the big productions in Fujian. Therefore, I |
| decided to look for tea-related articles. This site that I found talks about the tea ceremony in Fujian. |
| Last year I attended to a Japanese tea ceremony demonstration in the Reeve Center, so I thought that |
| it would be interesting to compare the Fujian tea ceremony with the Japanese tea ceremony. |

| China Pushes Popular Vote For Trade Union Heads | World | PC |
| 2003 | | XINHUA |
| The All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), the leading trade union organization, is drafting a |
| regulation on a popular vote for chairman of grassroots trade unions, an ACFTU official said Thursday. |
|
| |
| The ACFTU will promote the popular vote to elect grassroots trade unions' chairmen as a main task in |
| the next few years, said Guo Wencai, head of the ACFTU department in charge of grassroots |
| organization build-up. |
| |
| At most trade unions, the president or chairman is elected by a standing committee or executive |
| committee, elected by trade union members. |
| |
| With the popular vote, all members of a trade union will vote to elect their chairman, considered |
| another step for the country's grassroots democracy as the country has 1.34 billion trade union |
| members. |
| |
| Popular votes have been carried out by some trade unions in more developed coastal provinces such |
| as Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Shandong provinces. |
