This circular will remain on the GEM website at http://www.hkgem.com on the “Latest Company Announcements” page for at least 7 days from the day of its posting. 28 August 2006 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OPERATED BY THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”) GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM. The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the Internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. GEM-listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website at http://www.hkgem.com in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers. – i – CONTENTS

Beyond Ownership: State Capitalism and the Chinese Firm CURTIS J. MILHAUPT*&WENTONG ZHENG** Chinese state capitalism has been treated as essentially synonymous with state- owned enterprises (SOEs). But drawing a stark distinction between SOEs and privately owned enterprises (POEs) misperceives the reality of China’s institutional environment and its impact on the formation and operation of large enterprises of all types. We challenge the “ownership bias” of prevailing analyses of Chinese firms by exploring the blurred boundary between SOEs and POEs in China. We argue that the Chinese state has less control over SOEs and more control over POEs than its ownership interest in the firms suggests. Our analysis indicates that Chinese state capitalism can be better explained by capture of the state than by ownership of enterprise.

  • Muddy Waters: the Public Health Risks and Sustainability of Bottled Water in China
    MUDDY WATERS: THE PUBLIC HEALTH RISKS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF BOTTLED WATER IN CHINA Abigail Barnes* &Wei Cao**† INTRODUCTION The men took their positions in front of their lanes, elastic caps tightly gripping their heads and silver diaphanous bulbs shielding their eyes. As the Olympic swimmers geared up for the 400-meter freestyle in London in 2012, China’s Sun Yang cracked open a bottle of water and doused himself.1 His Hungarian competition took the more traditional approach, splashing himself with handfuls of pool water. At the 2012 London Olympics, a striking number of Chinese swimmers emptied bottles of water over their bodies before the start of each race.2 This public spectacle not only reflects China’s vibrant consumer culture, but also carries a note of irony given that water shortages affect over half of China’s cities.3 One cannot help but wonder whether these acts were inconsequential, or whether they reflect broader Chinese perceptions about water and the nexus between resource conservation and consumerism. Urbanization and rising energy demand have strained China’s fresh water resources.4 Approximately 70% of China’s fresh water supplies are polluted to some degree, and the water pipes in many urban areas are outdated, often leeching impurities into the public drinking water.5 The * Abigail Barnes is a J.D. Candidate at Vermont Law School and M.E.M. Candidate at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. ** Wei Cao is a PhD Candidate at Renmin University. † The authors would like to thank Professor John D. Echeverria and David Zoppo for their insightful feedback and careful edits to earlier versions of this Article.
