[CWB] Announcement: Another CWB/CQPweb setup in China

[Josep M. Fontana]

Hi Jiajin,

This solution will definitely be of help for the most careful and 
knowledgeable users. Not that I'm either of those but I remember I went 
back to the "view corpus metadata" page a couple of times so I would 
probably have noticed those links you added now and I would have found 
the info about the right tagset. But definitely, having the link to the 
CLAWS7 tagset next to "parts-of-speech-tag" might still confuse some.
