A typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes online purchases and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news-often entertainment-related-or for online games. About half download music and movies. They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Intemet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Intemet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software. "Many people don"t trust the quality of goods bought online," Guo said Wednesday. "If they buy it in a store and don"t like it, they can easily bring it back." The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two- thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online. China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States. |

"In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight." "Two full inches in the first three days!" These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. Where they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof (证明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that safe and effective before it is put on the market.

If a product already on the marker danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the customers through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the products to the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.

Before buying, it is up to the consumer to the safety or effectiveness of such items. |

Allen goes everywhere with Brigitte Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don"t seem to mind Allen," says Brigitte, who thinks he is wonderful. "He is my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allen is a dog. Brigitle and Allen live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money. People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so they aren"t surprised to find that owning a dog means more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Sweden kronor (克朗) in taxes a year for the right to keep their dogs, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance (保险) for their dogs. In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dogs do. A Swedish kennel (宠物园) club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident. |
