(S/NF) WASHINGTON ANALYSTS GREATLY APPRECIATE POST'S EXCELLENT REPORTING ON CHINA'S TEN INDUSTRIAL STIMULUS PLANS AND NEW PROTECTIONIST MEASURES. ANALYSTS HAVE CITED THESE REPORTS IN A NUMBER OF FINISHED INTELLIGENCE PIECES AND PLAN TO CITE OTHERS IN UPCOMING PRODUCTS. THE REPORTS' INSIGHTS INTO BEIJING'S NEW POLICIES--PARTICULARLY, WHAT BEIJING HAS CLARIFIED, WHAT HAS BEEN LEFT AMBIGUOUS, AND THE POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS OF NEW POLICIES ON US AND FOREIGN FIRMS--HAVE PROVED CRITICAL TO OUR ANALYSIS OF TOPICS THAT ARE OF HIGH POLICYMAKER INTEREST.
