t is understood that the four major contract manufacturers of PC products invited by Acer to Chongqing are the “new faces” that have not yet set up operations in Chongqing.

It was reported that Acer has selected Chongqing for its second business operations headquarters and manufacturing base in China. A formal contract will be signed with the Chongqing Municipal Government in December this year, said industry sources.

The strategy of establishing a new center of business operations in Chongqing in southwestern China is not just a step to expand Acer’s business activities and market in China, but will also be a crucial move to achieve its goal of becoming the world’s top supplier of notebooks.

To meet worldwide market demand, Acer plans to farm out orders to contract manufacturers, a similar tactic taken by Hewlett-Packard Co. of the US. HP is currently the leading supplier of personal computers on the world market and has also recently moved to Chongqing.

Among the findings of various studies:

Highly optimistic people have significantly lower death rates. Optimistic coronary bypass patients are half as likely as pessimists to require re-hospitalization.

People with positive emotions have lower blood pressure. The most pessimistic men are more than twice as likely to develop heart disease compared with the most optimistic.

But is it optimism that makes people healthy, or do healthy people understandably have a brighter outlook?

To get a better handle on things, scientists have adjusted their analyses in recent years to account for pre-existing medical conditions. Studies that made these adjustments found that existing illnesses don’t negate the benefits of optimism, according to the May 2008 issue of Harvard Men’s Health Watch.

In one example of how humans keep their spirits up no matter what, researchers found older people suffering various illnesses still said they thought they were aging well. Another study found that the sick and disabled don’t wallow in misery as is commonly believed.

The surplus figure was almost unchanged from the third quarter’s $102.3 billion surplus, which was more than double the year-earlier figure, the Wall Street Journal reported, quoting SAFE data.

China’s widening trade surplus against the U.S. has been a matter of contention between the two largest economies of the world. The U.S. has accused China of keeping its currency artificially low to give competitive advantage to its exporters.

However, runaway growth in China’s inflation is expected to reduce the country’s trade surplus with the U.S. and other trading partners. There are already reports that Chinese shipments to its Western trading partners are seeing a relative lull in recent weeks as prices of export items have gone up thanks to an unprecedented commodities boom.

Chinese inflation is around five percent currently, prompting the government to unveil a slew of measures to prevent the economy from overheating.
