Conventions Used in This Book
We use the following conventions throughout the text to make things consistent and easy to understand:
| ✓ | All Web addresses appear in monofont. |
| ✓ | New terms appear in italics and are closely followed by easy-to-understand definitions. Italics may also indicate emphasis. |
| ✓ | Bold highlights the action parts of numbered steps and key words in bulleted lists. |
| ✓ | Chinese words are written according to the official pinyin system of Romanization, usually followed by phonetic spellings. |
| ✓ | The word domestic refers to China; foreign refers to anywhere outside of China. |
| ✓ | The Chinese government controls exchange rates of the Chinese renminbi (RMB), or yuan; because the government has been gradually appreciating the RMB, we don’t convert it to U.S. dollars. You can find the current exchange rate at finance.yahoo.com/currency. We do, however, offer equivalents of Hong Kong dollars. |
