Anybody knows that $5000 deduction from Sino-US tax treaty (Article 20c) can
apply to income other than wages, such as bank interest, income from bonds
or compensation from a contract?  The treaty states that income FROM PERSONAL
SERVICE can have $5000 deduction.  I think compensation from a contract should
be counted as income from personal service.  Thank you in advance.
