Junk food advertising is “monopolising(壟斷)” the Internet as television advertising comes under examination. Among 315 children’s websites, ads for soft drink, ice-cream, fast food and sugar are more than those for healthy foods by two to one.

       Researchers looked at every food reference on 119 websites of companies active in advertising food and drink to children. They found that food references—anything from a picture or an article to an ad or a game—appeared on 44 per cent of popular children’s websites. Two-thirds of these were for unhealthy foods. Unhealthy products were three times more likely to be branded.

       Many of the techniques used on food product websites for companies that included Cadbury, Nestle and Kellogg strengthen the food brand and make children spend more time seeing the product. More children spend more time on the Internet which captures and maintains children’s attention. It makes the Internet a powerful marketing medium.

       Researchers found that 29 per cent of sites used advergames—in which the branded product is integrated (融入)into a computer game.The number of games per site varied. The Wrigley’s Candystand website contained 67   games. Those sites aiming at younger children and adults had a higher rate of advergames than those for preschool-age children, as did those sugary drinks , ice-cream and chocolate.

       Kathy Chapman, the senior nutritionist at the Cancer Council, said, “The marketing is becoming a lot more complex. It used to be a couple of things; now it’s a whole range. The companies use different kinds of ways to promote their products and make them known. There’s a lot more things going on.”

China news，Beijing，July．29—Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese．To many property developers and local government officials，housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries．However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter，while in China，it is even higher than in the United States．This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫)in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported．

Although the average price of residential houses in the United States，after convened to Re Renminbi，is about 8,000 yuan per square meter，the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area，as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses．If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area，then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter．In most big Chinese cities，such as Beijing，Shanghai, and Shenzhen，houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US．

The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles．Moreover，Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality，environment and supporting facilities．Furthermore，it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people．

How Can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?

At the beginning of 2007，Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public．Now in order to reduce the high housing prices．the government Call regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers．At the same time，the government should allow, people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels．such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units．By applying these multiple means，it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered．
