Daily linklets 27th May

Keep your (made in China) shirt on.
David Webb discusses the adjustments to Hong Kong's currency arrangements: Yam's Thick Peg. A "gratuitous job support" scheme for bankers? More interesting is the gradual move away from a currency board system and towards a more typical central bank system. Slowly Yam's HKMA is grabbing back control of monetary policy (and naturally power for itself). Will he do better than a system that has served HK well for over 20 years?
China is copying Japan and America in the copying game.
Beijing diplomacy, Kim Jong Il style.
A senior Japanese figure has called for war criminals to be removed from the Yasukuni shrine.
Thoughts on China's welcome to Uzbek President Karimov. Thomas Barnett also looks at China's favoured dictators. And naturally there's an oil deal involved.
A few days ago I reported on China's rent-a-censor exports to Zimbabwe. The Zimbabweans have repaid the favour.
QOTD: Definition of anti-climax: Paris Hilton putting a finger into her mouth.
The Daoist influence in Chinese Law.
Sports: China's soccer league gets another warning and China plans to have the Olympic torch on Everest.
(14:03) Can China build its own Silicon Valley?

It hasn't served HK well. They had a seven year recession.
