it demonstrates the gop desire not to regulate businesses when it would interfere with profits...even if it screws with the environment

It doesn't say there would be no regulation on the iron mine if it is open.

Hotel bound? Don't be worried about going out. The only thing that can happen is you might get lost. Take your hotel info card and some money and go get some souvenirs.

Actually at a conference at the moment (in a hotel though so you are correct on that). Not a lot I can do right now so I'm messing around on the computer. They said they will take me out tonight so I'm looking forward to it..

That will be a great experience. BUT BEWARE. They might GAMBEI you! That means to drink your health and to finish the glass. Thats OK except there is only one of you and several of them and all will want to gambei you. I used to have a little trick and that was to surrupticiously remove a pot of tea from the table and place it at my feet. I would pour their brandy into another glass and refill mine with tea. Takes a bit of juggling but it can be done particularly with an accomplice. Otherwise you'll be carried back to your hotel!
My first ever visit was to Xiamen and 12 'officials' gambeid me! Thats 12 tumblers of brandy! I managed to pour a good bit of it away but I was not very well afterwards.

Haha, that's pretty funny. What's really funny is I've been the one trying to get others to drink with me tonight. However I will keep in mind your advice. Thank you.
