"Сделано в Китае" No More

Chinese companies are taking advantage of the EU debt crisis to make headway into Europe, targeting key sectors and regions, including shipping and ports in Greece, auto manufacturing in Eastern Europe, and banking and finance in London. By relocating production to Europe and securing a “Made in Europe” label, some firms hope to boost their reputations. Car manufacturer Great Wall Motors opened an assembly line in Bulgaria to produce cars exclusively for Europe. China wants to invest in “sectors that will boost its foreign trade, but also facilitate its international trade in general,” says Hervé Solignac Lecomte, head of international trade at HSBC France as reported by Anne Villechenon in the Guardian. Europeans could be more willing to sell assets to Chinese investors – and the spread of operations to Europe could also decentralize Chinese corporate decision-making. – YaleGlobal Chinese manufacturers look to escape image problem by qualifying for coveted Made in Europe labelAnne VillechenonThe Guardian, 15 May 2012This article originally appeared in Le Monde.      Rights:© 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Class Action Lawsuit Targets Indonesian Government, Tobacco Companies

В Индонезии, one of the world’s last bastions of unrestricted cigarette smoking, one out of five people smoke.  Even children are picking up the habit. The country’s child protection commission is now planning a class action lawsuit against the government and tobacco companies for failing to protect kids from getting hooked.

Eight-year-old Aldi Ilham from Sukabumi, West Java, first started smoking when he was four years old. Instead of going to school he would help park cars to earn change for cigarettes. At the height of his addiction he was smoking two packs a day.

Aldi is one of eight cases the Child Protection Commission, led by Aris Meredek Sirait, is citing in a lawsuit against the government and tobacco companies later this month.

“The government is not able to control cigarettes products,” Aris complains. “There are no regulations to control the sale of cigarettes, they are even sold as single cigarettes, nor are there any controls on tobacco advertising.”

Without any government restrictions, cigarette advertisements are plastered throughout downtown Jakarta.  Some are designed to appeal to younger consumers, who can also legally purchase cigarettes.  

Roadside stalls sell cigarettes for about one U.S. dollar.  Stall holder Ibu Surniah admits that, while it’s not morally right, she still sells to teenagers.

“It’s forbidden to sell cigarettes to children, but I give it to them if they insist because they want it,” Ibu says.

With 50 million smokers in the country, there is little widespread knowledge among Indonesians about the dangers of smoking.  Many people smoke in front of their children.  Ilham’s father, Umar, says that practice should stop.

“We just ask for those responsible from the tobacco companies and the government to help us because our son is really sick from smoking,” Umar says.

Government officials and tobacco company executives refused interview requests. One spokesperson for Sampoerna Tobacco said that while the company does not condone child smokers, parents play an influential role in preventing their children from smoking.

Пока, child health advocates merely want to restrict sales and curb advertisements that help get minors started smokinglong before they are capable of knowing what the habit means for their health.

The folks from AskForensics Knowledgebase did an extensive series of interviews dissecting why buyers did not buy from certain companies.The results were interesting: the No. 1 reason was not because of price or after-market support, or even value of the product, service or solution.

Wen Jiabao’s Reform Push More Than Just Political Theater

Wen Jiabao’s Reform Push More Than Just Political Theater

By Russell Leigh Moses

Is Premier Wen Jiabao taking a run at reform again?

That’s the question that has been rattling around in China-watching circles ever since Wen’s final press conference at the National People’s Congress last month, during which he warned in sharp terms about the dangers of nostalgia over mass movements and insisted that without political reforms “it is impossible to continue economic reform, and the gains we have made may be lost.”

Associated Press
Wen Jiabao

One view is that Wen is not being genuine in his efforts at reform—in other words, that’s he’s Beijing’s consummate actor, wheeling out the rhetoric to burnish his legacy for the history books. Other analyses have portrayed Wen as a lone champion of restructuring, fighting a solitary battle against the dark forces of oppression and hardline gunslingers.

But Wen’s no performer. Nor is he some sort of cowboy. Вместо, he is the sharp and public end of a larger reform-minded posse within the Communist Party – a group of cadres who believe short-term stability may have been largely achieved but the long-term legitimacy of the Party remains unsecured.

That legitimacy, in their view, can only be achieved by loosening up the current system–and by preventing the political Left from taking to the streets to force social change.

Thus far, the reformers have been frustrated from moving forward with political experiments. They’ve been thwarted by the hardline emphasis on change в пределах the Party—those pushing for more morality and better training for cadres, instead of transparency and accountability. “Purity” is the new watchword, with political restructuring pushed aside.

But now Wen and his colleagues have started shoving back. During a recent inspection tour in southern China, Wen was especially blunt about setbacks in China’s economic situation. He noted the hardships caused by “insufficient domestic demand, rising costs of exports, and the downward pressure on businesses generally”. Wen also blasted the monopoly enjoyed by State banks, right on the heels of his sponsorship of an initiative to let Wenzhou experiment with a new type of financing scheme.

China’s number two also took a further step away from State companies, emphasizing the crucial role played by small firms and entrepreneurship.

On one level, Wen’s focus on these issues appears to be in keeping with the current Party line, which calls for an emphasis economic questions over other concerns.

But there’s also ample reason to see Wen’s latest moves in a larger light: as an effort to get his comrades to start reorganizing the economy, in the hope that political reform might then follow. Populist policies that rebalance the economy could then evolve into political restructuring.

By focusing on economic restructuring, reformers pledge loyalty to the Center’s new approach—talk about economics, not about politics—while bringing to light what ails the system: State cartels and other vested interests controlling finances and natural resources, stifling innovation and suffocating reorganization. There’s agreement in many circles for the need to weaken State economic control somehow; but previous efforts to do so have miscarried. Wen and his camp seem to be moving to take another shot.

Why is Wen saddling up to move now? To figure out the answer, one can turn editorials and commentaries in the official press, which increasingly are calling for “unity” and “stability” — indications that neither is necessarily in abundance right now.

The purpose of these essays in mainline Party media is clearly to rally support in the ranks. Evidently, some cadres have been slow in responding.

And then there’s the fast-disappearing article about the meaning of a Communist Party General Secretary in China. The essay appeared with little fanfare some days ago, while President (and Party General Secretary) Hu Jintao was still abroad. Ostensibly a historical review about the origin and evolution about the position and role of a Party leader, the piece spoke of the restricted role of the General Secretary, noting that the “the Party forbids any form of personal worship” and that Party also “ensures that the activities of the party’s leaders fall under the supervision of the party and the people.”

How did such an article get to appear in the first place? Was this a blast by Leftists still irate over the sacking of Bo Xilai? Or did reformers who want to limit Hu’s authority to freeze conversations about political reform sponsor its appearance?

Whatever the case, by yesterday, the essay was getting more difficult to find, with a number of official websites reporting its removal. Тем временем, local media in South China praised Wen’s visit and advised cadres to study it carefully — a possible precursor to wider favorable coverage.

Despite some of the rumors floating around in recent weeks, there’s no reason to think that the party is so riven by dissension that it’s ready to implode. На самом деле, there continue to be brave and healthy debates throughout the state media about everything from spawning “social trust” to different responses to rumor-mongering.

Еще, this recent political uncertainty does provide the opportunity for those pushing restructuring to make their case again. Perhaps Wen thinks he might still know the way: to use economic distress to show that political reform is still the solution.

Рассел Ли Моисей Пекин-аналитик и профессор, который пишет о китайской политике. He is writing a book on the changing role of power in the Chinese political system.

В последние годы, В Китае снова активизировались о своей поддержке ведущих государственных предприятий в секторах, он считает важным, чтобы “экономическая безопасность,” явно ищет для содействия глобальной конкурентоспособности национальных чемпионов.

Китайское правительство стремится увеличить мощность производства энергии из других источников, помимо угля и нефти, и уделяет особое внимание ядерным и другим развития альтернативной энергетики.

Китай также является вторым по величине торговой страной в мире и крупнейшим экспортером и вторым по величине импортером товаров.
Решение правительства КНР, чтобы позволить Китаю, который будет использоваться транснациональными корпорациями в качестве экспортной платформы сделало страну основным конкурентом других азиатских экспортно-ориентированной экономики, таких как Южная Корея, Сингапур, и Малайзии.

Доступные энергии недостаточно, чтобы работать на полностью установлен промышленный потенциал, и транспортной системы является недостаточным, чтобы переместить достаточное количество таких критических элементов, как уголь.

Различий между этими двумя секторами в совокупности привели к форме экономико-культурно-социального разрыва между сельскими и городскими районами, которая является одним из основных разделение в китайском обществе.

Китай приобрел некоторые весьма сложные производственные мощности за счет торговли, а также имеет встроенный ряд передовых машиностроительных заводов способна производить более широкого спектра современного оборудования, в том числе ядерного оружия и спутников, но большая часть промышленного производства по-прежнему исходит от относительно плохо оснащенные заводы.

К началу 1990-х годах эти субсидии начали быть устранены, в значительной степени из-за вступление Китая во Всемирную торговую организацию (ВТО) в 2001, которая несет в себе требования для дальнейшего экономической либерализации и дерегулирования.

Оба форума начнется во вторник.

“Темп роста (для ODI) В ближайшие несколько лет будет значительно выше, чем в предыдущие годы,” Шен сказал, не вдаваясь в подробности.

Ожидается, что Китай есть 200 млн. автомобилей на дороге 2020, рост давления на энергетическую безопасность и окружающую среду, правительственных чиновников сказал вчера.

Хотя Китай остается развивающейся страной с относительно низким доходом на душу населения, он пережил огромный экономический рост с конца 1970-х.

Сельское хозяйство на сегодняшний день является ведущим оккупации, с участием более 50% населения, Хотя обширные грубые, высокой местности и больших засушливых районах – особенно на западе и севере – предел культивации для всего около 10% от поверхности земли.

За исключением сельского хозяйства оазис в Синьцзяне и Цинхай, некоторые орошаемых земель во Внутренней Монголии и провинции Ганьсу, и защищенных долинах в Тибете, сельскохозяйственное производство ограничено на востоке.

Лошади, ослы, и мулы являются рабочих животных на севере, в то время как быки и буйволы используются для вспашки главным образом на юге страны.

Рост внутреннего спроса в начале 1990-х годов, Однако, заставил народ импортировать большее и большее количество нефти.

Есть также месторождения ванадия, магнетит, медь, флюорит, никель, асбест, фосфориты, пирит, и серы.

Уголь является единственным наиболее важным источником энергии в Китае; угольных тепловых электрических генераторов обеспечивают более 70% электроэнергии в стране.

Экономики Китая, хотя усилены более либеральной экономической политики 1980-х и 90-х годов, продолжает страдать от недостаточного транспорт, связь, и энергетических ресурсов.
