1. (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. ANALYSTS LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE
REPORTING, AS TIME AND RESOURCES ALLOW, ON PROTECTIONISM AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INDUSTRIAL STIMULUS PLANS AND CHINA'S
FISCAL STIMULUS PACKAGE. WARM REGARDS FROM WASHINGTON!
