Asia clarifications

In reference to "China`s bid to join the submicron era," (October, p. 78), Tony Liu has not been VP of Hua Hong Microelectronics since June 1997. He left Hua Hong after China announced a joint venture project with NEC in May. Also, Mitsubishi-Stone`s fab in China is not a wafer fab but an assembly plant only.
