- China not a haven for shoddy luxury clothing
By Wu Mian
Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Burberry. These high-end designer brands are no longer alien to Chinese.
Despite the fact that many of the products on the street are knockoffs, Chinese spent over $5 billion on branded luxury goods in 2009.
The fetish for luxury products is becoming a social trend. Luxury has not only become the symbol of wealth and social status, but the younger generation also takes it as a yardstick for being fashionable.
However, the news that came out on Tuesda ... 呉ミアンシャネルでは、ルイヴィトン、バーバリー
- Lessons from 9/11 for the Gulf oil spill | Lila Nordstrom
From compensation for those affected to the clean-up operation, Ground Zero can teach us a lot about how to handle the oil spillAmericans thought 9/11 would be the disaster of the decade. In retrospect, of course, this seems naive; it was only 2001. We had nine years to go in a world that was becoming increasingly disjointed, insecure, and chaotic. Last month, however, another event registered on the life-altering disaster scale. BP and its less-than-stellar safety record have seen to it that this decade goes out in the style with which it greeted us: total pandemonium. At this point, the full extent of the fallout of both of these disasters remains unknown. Even if, by some miracle, BP willingly pays for the Gulf clean-up in full, provides compensation to people who will lose their livelihoods as a result of the spill and covers the costs of any human health consequences that may result from the clean-up, it remains responsible for one of the greatest attacks on the enviornment in the history of the world. It is the al-Qaida to our nation's Gulf coast. Of course, unlike al-Qaida, BP isn't big on claiming responsibility for its actions.9/11 and the BP oil spill may not have much in common in their details, but they will likely have a lot in common in the coming years. Even President Obama has compared the magnitude of the spill to our experience with 9/11. Just as is the case with 9/11, there will inevitably be long-term consequences to this oil spill that we can't predict or even imagine. Who will be responsible for covering those ongoing costs? Will it be BP? The US government? Or, as we see with victims of 9/11, will the people of the Gulf have to fight tooth and nail to get what they deserve in compensation for years to come? The heroes of 9/11, after all, still hav これらのクリーンアップ操作に影響の補償から、グラウンドゼロは私たちの石油spillAmericansを処理する方法について多くを教えることができる10年の災害になる9月11日と思った

- Olivier winner The Mountaintop to transfer to New York
The Mountaintop, the surprise winner of best new play at Sunday's Olivier awards is to be produced in New York later this year. The playwright, Katori Hall (interviewed on page 19) and director, James Dacre (son of Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre), were pals in New York when Hall had the idea for the play. Unable to get it staged in the US, Dacre successfully managed to see it produced in London at the 65-seat Theatre503. But he's to be left out in the cold when the drama returns in triumph to the States: a US director is to be hired.Olivier awardsTheatreMartin Luther KingCharlotte Higginsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Guardian Election Daily: Lib Dems launch manifesto as leaders prepare for live debates
Vince Cable and Nick Clegg took their turns to spell out Liberal Democrat policies as the party launched its manifesto at Bloomberg's high-tech HQ in London. Cable tells us he doesn't want a fight with the City – and explains why he has taken to calling himself the 'elephant man'. We hear, too, from former leader Ashdown. George Parker, the political editor of the Financial Times, believes he scored a direct hit on Clegg with a question about which way the Lib Dems would jump in a hung parliament. He tells us why.Columnist Martin Kettle is on hand to provide his analysis. He believes the exposure Clegg has had so far will make his party serious players in this campaign.Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell explains how, in his mind at least, the party leaders are starting to morph into one.And Sky's Adam Boulton says he suspects there some backroom deals being done quietly between Labour and the Liberal Democrats. We also catch up with another of this week's manifesto launches: Plaid Cymru's, in Cardiff. The Guardian's Steven Morris was there to take soundings from another party looking hopefully towards the prospect of a hung parliament.We're back tomorrow night for analysis and discussion of the history-making live leaders' TV debate.Steven MorrisMichael WhitePhil MaynardSteve BellPaddy Ashdown
