Beijing Says Qaddafi Officials Sought Chinese Arms Supplies

BEIJING — China’s Foreign Ministry admitted on Monday that state-run arms
companies met Libyan officials this summer to broker arms sales to Col.
Muammar el-Qaddafi’s besieged regime, apparently confirming information in
Libyan government documents found by a Canadian journalist in Tripoli.

给予此次评选以意见的专家来自服装营销公司和曾经制定过“Globe Shopper Index”的购物组织Global Blue。评选标准包括出行的方便程度、购物产品价值的高下、购物种类的多元化及城市体验。
专家们既注重诸如城市公共交通质素、打折期长短、所售物品种类及城市基础店铺装修等硬件设施，也考虑了服务业水平、居民友善程度、打折优惠期长短和高低市场兼容等软件条件。
香港在方便出行这项指标取得满分(10分)，拉高其排名，高分过西班牙马德里、迪拜、奥地利维也纳等地。调查同时还指出香港店员“十分好客”，顾客去到哪里，店员便跟到哪里。
“Globe Shopper Index”的调查数据显示，有76%的游客在消费方面感到满意。但与此同时，香港在“价值”及“多元化”两项指标，分别仅取得5分及6分，“体验”方面则有7分。
纽约、东京和伦敦，都在多元化取得10分。... 阅读全帖 |

"但中国在日本接受外国援助的名单上排名4级，即使不与排在1级的美国比，接受顺序
也很低。外务省积极推动，也只把中国从4级提为3.5级。
"《朝日新闻》引述日本官员透露说，开放给外国救援队降落的青森县三泽机场是朝鲜
战争中的美军后方基地，现在仍属日美联合管理，对中国救援队军人队员降落三泽机场

"报道说，经菅直人政权协调，3月13日决定中国救援队飞抵日本自卫队岩手县花卷机场
