Today NewsChina tries to find out what has happened to the remnants of this unique and tiny ethnic group.

No Way Back: The offshore yuan market has become the fast-track for making the Chinese currency truly global. However, the further it travels, the more the yuan\'s success depends on overdue reform at home.

The Communist Party skillfully navigated the tricky waters of a once-in-a-decade leadership transition while the downfall of Bo Xilai and his allies reminded the public that corruption continues to plague the highest levels of power. Society: \"Front-line Faculty\" According to some, while China has millions of graduates, it has a dearth of creative, critical minds. A few of the country’s academics are trying to solve this problem by overhauling the country’s approach to higher education, with mixed results. Economy: \"Come Out Swinging\" Chinese exporters are learning to use international trade rules to defend their market power. Culture: \"An Alternative Revival\" On their mission to promote independent artistic culture across Greater China, the Renaissance Foundation has enlisted an all-star team of Chinese alternative cultural figures. Can they bring the underground back to life?
