- <p> [Text] Beijing, 12 June (XINHUA)--Certain news media in the
- capital have opened new columns recently to educate their
- readers on basic knowledge about a commodity economy, such as
- explaining what stocks and futures trading are.
- </p>
- <p> Because China has entered a new stage of reform and opening
- up this year, new issues about reform and certain economic
- undertakings also appear continuously. While people are watching
- closely the development of various reform and opening-up
- projects, they are also eager to know certain basics about a
- commodity economy. Certain newspapers have therefore opened new
- columns to satisfy their readers' needs in this area. Since May,
- RENMIN RIBAO has opened a special column, called "The ABC's of
- Commodity Economy," on its economic page to talk about stocks.
- Recent editions of JINGJI CANKAO BAO have prominently published
- several articles in a special column entitled "Serial Talks
- About GATT and China's Foreign Trade." From different angles,
- these articles expounded the major impacts that China's GATT
- membership would have on Chinese enterprises and the nation's
- foreign trade policy, as well as what countermeasures the nation
- should take. CANKAO XIAOXI [Reference Information], which
- publishes mostly news reports translated from foreign wire
- services, has also opened a new column about stocks. The Central
- People's Radio Network, in its prime-time "Economic Life"
- program, has also been regularly informing its listeners about
- commodity economy knowledge, which they want to know about.
- </p>
- <p> One conspicuous characteristic of some papers' economic
- columns is that they encourage their readers to participate. For
- its special column called "How Did You Become an Investor?"
- JINGJI RIBAO encourages its readers to talk about their personal
- experiences in becoming investors. Thus, in addition to
- experiences, the paper also educates its readers on economics.
- BEIJING RIBAO's front-page special column "Questions and Answers
- About Reform and Opening Up" is a favorite with readers. So far
- the paper has published more than 60 small but very informative
- columns in which readers' questions about commodity economy were
- answered by experts.
