China's Status Quo
I found a journal which talks about China's Status Quo:
Johnson, AI. (2003). Is China a Status Quo Power? International Security. Spring 2003-27(4)5–56.
^This was not really useful because it talks about China's Status Quo on the International Stage. But I will save it because it looks like I could use it for later
Tu, WM. (2005). Cultural China: the periphery as the center. Daedalus. Fall 2005 134(4)145-167
^This journal talked a bit of how the 5000 year history in China has affected and created the status quo status on its citizens today. I will use this in my proposal to support the status quo of citizens and government relationship.

Thesis statement sorted out
I finished writing a rough draft of my Research paper proposal, so I could ask Laura to look at it.
I went to see Laura once again, for our brainstorming session, she wanted to get my topic straight out, so I could have a more firm, concrete thesis statement that Prof Chan was looking for.
I am in the process of writing my newly revised Research paper proposal.

A look at China's consumers
Qingfei Min , Shaobo Ji, A meta-analysis of Mobile Commerce Research in China (2002 2006), International Journal of Mobile Communications, v.6 n.3, p.390-403, March 2008
In an article I read called: A meta-analysis of Mobile Commerce Research in China (2002 2006)
They talk about how China has the largest network of mobile phone users in the world, a research was was conducted to see this phenomenon.
Dai,H; Palvi, PC. (2009)Mobile commerce adoption in China and the United States: a cross-cultural study. Communications of the ACM,40(4)43-61
in Mobile commerce adoption in China and the United States: a cross-cultural study, they talk more about the cultural settings of both China and US: both consumers enjoy privacy, innovativeness, value-added, usefulness, ease of use and compatibility.
Chinese consumers have a higher concern for m-commerce costs.
This article is relevant to my research in a sense that I can understand how Chinese behave and what they expect when they are using phones, they are nonetheless different from us, however, I have a concern is that if more cell phones are put into different rural areas, there might be a need to "train" and "teach" villagers how to use those different features in order for them to find those mobile devices: useful and easy to use.
