ARTICLE: "Fujian: Digging for victory; A Chinese province woos Taiwan for the sake of its own economy," The Economist, 25 November 2006, p. 39.

Interesting article on new "Economic Zone on the West Coast of the Strait," aka Fujian province, poor step-child of China's boom. Plying ancestral and linguistic ties, Fujian hopes to attract the implied "East Coast's" investments, which have typically bypassed it for more northern provinces.

You can try a little tenderness, or you can buy a little tenderness...
