      Chinakönig: Seidenstrasse ist ABGEBLASEN; quote: ich "hab kein Bock mehr"



      China-Thailand rail project finally begins construction
      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/china-thailand-rail-proje…

      "Construction officially began on the much-delayed high-speed railway linking China with Thailand on Thursday, according to China Daily.

      Chinese Premier Li Keqiang sent a letter of congratulation, saying the China-Thailand Railway is a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative and will improve the level of regional infrastructure construction. On Nov 24, Thai Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said the construction of the remaining 249 km would begin gradually after being put out to tender next year, with the full railway set to be completed in 2021.

      The first phase of the project, linking Bangkok and the northeastern Thai province of Nakhon Ratchasima, is set to cost $5.4 billion and would become Thailand's first high-speed railway.

      Under the deal, Thailand will pay for the construction by issuing bonds or seeking loans from banks. China will design the project and provide engineers, track systems and equipment. The railway is expected to bring about 2 million more Chinese tourists to Thailand every year and will make it easier for Thailand to export its products."

      chineses DOWN on Crack




      Chinese bitcoin demand still strong, following crackdown
      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/chinese-bitcoin-demand-st…

      "Bitcoin trading is booming in China despite the country's recent ban on centralized exchanges, as traders take to investing in the virtual currency through peer-to-peer exchanges, the South China Morning Post reports. But the Chinese government is said to be monitoring the situation closely.

      Peer-to-peer trade in bitcoin involves buyers interacting directly - on a one-to-one basis - with sellers, instead of using a centralized marketplace or exchange. "Over-the-counter trading is booming," China's National Committee of Experts on Internet Financial Security, a government-backed research group, said in its Bitcoin OTC Report for November. "This warrants further attention."

      Bitcoin investors had feared that China's September ban on trading on domestic exchanges would dampen the appetite for bitcoin on the mainland, a key source of demand globally. BUUUUUT analysts say the authorities have found that where there is a will, there is a way.

      "After a period of caution following the September government actions, the China blockchain community is open for business," said Matthew Graham, chief executive of Sino Global Capital, a Beijing-based advisory company. "We expect this to continue and even increase." "

      rocking the boat

      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/rocking-boat

      "Copper prices are up, and so are prices for steel iron ore and a whole bunch of other commodities. Why? Yet again, it is China that is leading the way with its massive economy and gargantuan needs governing the markets. But as always, there is a question of how far and for how long. No one knows.

      Copper has been at or near two-year highs, and rebar steel in China is at price levels unseen for four years. Nickel, zinc and aluminum are all at levels not seen for many months if not years.

      China’s economy this year has been doing better than expected, and while it is slowing compared to a decade ago, and arguably unbalanced, manipulated and abnormal in many ways, it has clearly recovered in many ways from a couple of weak years. Underwriting that outlook is a meeting. The most important thing that will happen in China this year is the 19th Communist Party Congress. This once-in-five-years event sets the leadership and policy directions and this time round more than usual, it is essential for the Communist Party to present a unified and stable face with economic prospects that are rosy.

      So just looking at the politics alone, it was not a difficult call to predict a positive economic situation in China over 2017. but the impact has been greater than expected. The RMB has stabilized thanks to massive support from Beijing in the foreign exchange markets and controls on capital outflows that can only be described as draconian. China’s foreign exchange reserves have clawed back some room after many months of declines as well. The housing markets remain either bubbly or buoyant, depending upon your point of view, but efforts to tame apartment pricing in the major cities across China have proved futile. Driving it is speculation based on the belief that the Party will not let prices collapse and has the means to prevent them from doing so. And while that is absolutely true until the day when it is not, the chances of anything negatively unexpected happening in China’s real estate markets before the Congress are almost zero.

      Policy is at the heart of it all. Underlying the surge in steel and iron ore prices is both the housing price surge and also determined efforts to cut back on total steel production capacity. Mills across Hebei province are being closed, which has helped to boost the pricing of steel from the mills that remain. Added to that are indications that the Party this time is serious about cutting air pollution across north China during the coming winter. That could well mean lower production of steel and other heavy industrial products for many months. The Chinese authorities are reported to have told steel and aluminum producers in 28 cities to slash output over winter to cut smog. In previous years, there was has been a marked reluctance on the part of local authorities to comply due to conflicting priorities, but Tangshan, a crucial steel product and pollution producing center, is expected to implement the cuts this time.

      Meanwhile, China is on track to this year overtake the United States and become the world's biggest oil importer. According to government statistics, China imported more oil during the first half of the year than the United States, averaging 8.55 million barrels per day (bpd) versus 8.12 million bpd for the U.S.

      This trend has all sorts of implications for the global energy markets, and most particularly reflects a shift in the center of gravity in oil markets from the Western world to East Asia. The world's biggest oil trader is now the Chinese state-owned Unipec. China is still the second-biggest oil consumer after the United States, but its growing dominance in the international oil markets, particularly through the Shanghai crude oil futures market, gives it a much larger role than ever before in setting prices for the commodity.

      One factor underlying China's surge in imports is its much-expanded refinery capacity. Domestic demand currently comes nowhere close to absorbing the extra production, so China is exporting gasoline and diesel at record levels, putting huge pressure on other refiners, including Singapore, Taiwan and Korea.

      The trend is set to continue. China is expected to add more than 2.5 million bpd of refining capacity by 2020, according to the China Petroleum & Chemical Corp, or Sinopec, which is already Asia’s biggest refiner.

      Japan used to be far and away the biggest refiner and market for petroleum products, but is now overshadowed by both China and India, and its capacity is being consolidated to take account of falling sales as its population declines and also increasing use of alternative sources of energy.

      Nevertheless, there are changes coming. China’s own fuel demand is plateauing due to advances in the use of electric cars, and a slowing of economic growth. And after the 19th Congress has been successfully concluded, there will be a new round of developments. But whether positive or negative for commodities markets, it is toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo early to say."

      Didi Chuxing raises another $4 billion, to fund global ambitions
      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/didi-chuxing-raises-anoth…

      "China's ride-hailing unicorn Didi Chuxing has completed its second multi-billion funding round in eight months, as the company looks to expand into several new business areas, Caixin reports.

      A group of Chinese and overseas investors pumped $4 billion into Didi during the latest financing round, which was led by Japanese telecom giant SoftBank Group, Abu Dhabi's state fund Mubadala Capital and China's state-owned utility State Grid Corp, sources close to the deal told Caixin.

      The fundraising means that Didi, which holds a nearly 90% share in China's ride-hailing market, is now valued at around $56 billion, $6 billion more than its valuation during its last funding round in April. Didi was created by a 2015 merger between Tencent Holding-backed Didi Dache and Alibaba Group Holding-backed Kuaidi Dache.

      Didi says it will invest the fresh injection of capital into boosting its artificial intelligence capacity, overseas expansion and new-energy vehicle service networks.

      The company in April raised $5.5 billion from several investors, with Softbank providing $5 billion. Other investors include China Merchants Bank, Bank of Communication and US private equity fund Silver Lake Partner."

      Chinese trade minister promises market opening
      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/70736

      "Chinese Trade Minister Zhong Shan pledged that China will make it easier for foreign investors to access the country, protect their rights and ensure a fair and transparent investment environment, in comments reported by Reuters on Monday.

      In an article in the latest issue of Communist Party journal Qiushi, Zhong said that the government would "raise the level of use of foreign investment" and create a "fair, transparent and predictable business environment," but did not give details of specific policies that would be used to do so.

      Foreign business groups in China have warned that foreign companies face an increasingly hostile environment in the country, and that Beijing's policies and regulations unfairly favor domestic competitors. Companies have also been concerned about a lack of regulatory transparency, including inadequate protection for intellectual property."

      China will target 6.5% GDP growth in 2018, sources say
      http://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-economy-targets-excl…
      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/china-will-target-65-gdp-…

      "China will push to keep economic growth at "around 6.5%" in 2018, the same target set last year, policy sources told Reuters. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIf true, this would indicate that the government will only be willing to compromise on fast growth to a certain extent as it seeks to tackle the economy's underlying debt risks.

      The target of 6.5% was agreed by China's top leaders at the agenda-setting Central Economic Work Conference in December, according to four sources with knowledge of the meeting. The goal will be unveiled officially during the annual parliament meeting in March.

      The issue of China's growth target has been of keen interest to analysts in recent months, as it is widely seen as a barometer of how far Xi Jinping's government will be willing to go in order to achieve the "high-quality development" that China is now supposed to prioritize.

      In the past, China has introduced stimulus policies in order to speed up growth and hit its annual GDP target, which has led to massive borrowing by state-owned enterprises and local governments. The country's total debt reached 256% of GDP in the second quarter of 2017, according to Bank for International Settlements estimates.

      "The economic growth target will still be around 6.5 percent as they favor stability," one source told Reuters."

      Trump says US will impose huge 'fine' over China IP theft
      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/70793

      "US President Donald Trump told Reuters reporters in an interview Wednesday that he was considering a big "fine" as part of the ongoing investigation into China's alleged intellectual property theft, in another sign that the US is looking to escalate tensions with China over trade.


      "We have a very big intellectual property potential fine going, which is going to come out soon," Trump said in the interview. Both the president and his economic adviser Gary Cohn also claimed that China had forced US companies to transfer their intellectual property to the Asian country in order to do business there.

      The US is currently conducting a trade investigation into the issue, and the United States Trade Representative will be making recommendations about it soon, according to Cohn.

      The 1974 trade law that authorizes such an investigation also gives the president the power to impose retaliatory tariffs on Chinese goods and other trade sanctions in order to force China to change its policies. Trump did not elaborate on what form the "fine" would take or the specific figures involved, but he insisted that the damage to China would be high.

      "We're talking about big damages. We're talking about numbers that you haven't even thought about," Trump said."

      China's household debt levels are troubling, says banking regulator
      http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/chinas-household-debt-lev…

      "China's banking regulator has admitted publicly that levels of household debt are becoming a cause for concern, the South China Morning Post reports.

      China must "lower corporate debt ratio and curb the leverage ratio of households," said Guo Shuqing, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, during an interview published in the People's Daily Monday.

      Though China's government has repeatedly declared its determination to rein in financial risk in 2018, this is the first time that Guo has raised the issue of household debt in public, according to the SCMP.

      "The financial system is still prone to risks… And any financial turmoil will greatly endanger the country's economic and social development," said Guo."

      Deutschlands angespannter Wohnungsmarkt bekommt zusätzlichen Druck von vermögenden Kunden aus aller Welt. Vor allem Chinesen haben Lust auf deutsche Immobilien. Dafür gibt es einen wichtigen Grund.

      172 Meter hoch, weiter Blick über die Stadt, Concierge, Dachgarten und Sonnendeck: An der Frankfurter Messe wächst ein Wohnturm, der ganz nach dem Geschmack reicher Investoren ist. Der „Grand Tower“ soll Deutschlands höchstes Wohngebäude werden - und Maßstäbe in Sachen Luxus setzen. Zwar stehen erst einige Stockwerke im Rohbau, doch fast alle Wohnungen sind schon vermarktet. Zugeschlagen haben vor allem ausländische Käufer, verkündete der Immobilienspezialist JLL Residential jüngst, allen voran aus Asien.

      Deutschlands angespannter Wohnungsmarkt bekommt zusätzlichen Druck von vermögenden Kunden aus aller Welt. Bei Immobiliendeals jenseits der zehn Millionen Euro stammte 2017 mehr als jeder zweite Euro von ausländischen Kapitalgebern, zeigt eine Studie des Verbands deutscher Pfandbriefbanken. Insgesamt flossen über 59 Milliarden in Gebäude hierzulande - fast drei mal so viel wie 2010.
      Chinas Mittelschicht sucht nach Anlagezielen

      Für internationale Immobilien-Investoren ist die Bundesrepublik ein Eldorado: Sie steht für Rechtssicherheit, politische Stabilität und eine starke Wirtschaft – ein scheinbar sicherer Hafen in turbulenten Zeiten um Brexit, Trump und Co. „Für ausländische Käufer gibt es nichts Besseres als den deutschen Mieter, der zuverlässig zahlt“, sagt Lukas Siebenkotten, Chef des Mieterbunds. Die niedrigen Zinsen, die Großanleger in Immobilien drängen, tun ihr Übriges.

      Unter den Käufern sticht neben Amerikanern eine Gruppe besonders hervor: Reiche Chinesen. Die steigende Zahl der Vermögenden in der Volksrepublik und die wachsende Mittelschicht suchen nach Anlagezielen. Doch vor Ort sind die Preise in den Himmel gestiegen. In Peking und Shanghai kosten Wohnungen im Zentrum mehr als 10.000 Euro je Quadratmeter, in der Spitze werden 15.000 bis 18.000 Euro fällig. Dagegen bieten hiesige Großstädte wahre Schnäppchen.

      Zudem genießt Deutschland in Fernost traditionell einen guten Ruf. „Wir beobachten seit längerem, dass Chinesen auf dem deutschen Wohnungsmarkt sehr aktiv sind“, sagt Sven Carstensen, Frankfurter Niederlassungsleiter beim Immobilienspezialisten Bulwiengesa.

      Mehr zum Thema

      2016 legten Chinesen laut dem Berliner Makler Rubina Real Estate die Rekordsumme von 33 Milliarden Dollar im Ausland an – über 50 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr. Tendenz steigend: „2022 werden 76 Prozent der chinesischen Stadtbevölkerung der Mittelschicht zuzurechnen sein, das sind mehr als 550 Millionen Menschen“, sagt Geschäftsführer Carsten Heinrich. In Städten wie Peking und Shanghai dürften Familien nur eine Immobilie zur Selbstnutzung kaufen. „Da ist es die logische Folge, dass sich Anleger nach Alternativen umsehen.“
      Für Chinesen immer schwerer, Geld ins Ausland zu schaffen

      Für die Lust der Chinesen auf Immobilien im Ausland gibt es noch einen anderen wichtigen Grund: Die neue Mittelklasse traut der boomenden chinesischen Wirtschaft immer weniger und möchte ihr Geld lieber sicher im Ausland wissen.

      Daher macht es China seinen Bürgern immer schwerer, Geld ins Ausland zu schaffen. Seit langem gilt die Regel, dass jeder Chinesen maximal 50.000 Dollar pro Jahr in ausländische Währungen tauschen darf. Familienmitglieder tun sich so zusammen, um Immobilien in anderen Ländern zu kaufen. Beliebte Schlupflöcher, wie Transfers über die chinesische Sonderverwaltungszone Hongkong, versucht Peking aus Angst vor weiteren Abflüssen mit immer neuen Beschränkungen zu stopfen.

      Doch bisher bremst das die Kauflust in Deutschland, Australien oder den Vereinigten Staaten kaum: Beliebte Investitionsziele für Käufer aus Fernost sind Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg oder München. Sie haben global Strahlkraft und sind wirtschaftsstark. „Einige Makler spezialisieren sich schon auf asiatische Kunden“, sagt Bulwiengesa-Experte Carstensen. „Sie gehen bewusst auf kulturelle Besonderheiten ein.“

      Auch wenn Chinesen nur eine Käufergruppe sind: Sie tragen dazu bei, dass die Nachfrage in hiesigen Metropolen weiter steigt. Sie kaufen nicht nur Luxus-Objekte, sondern auch am breiten Markt. Die Anfragen chinesischer Kunden hätten sich in den vergangenen vier Jahren mehr als verdoppelt, sagt Makler Heinrich. Viel Interesse gebe es an Ein- oder Zwei-Zimmerwohnungen zwischen 250.000 und 400.000 Euro.

      Auch prägen die Investoren aus Übersee mit ihren meist hohen Ansprüchen den Markt für Neubauten. Der zielt ohnehin oft auf solvente Käufer und wenig auf Normalverdiener, stellt die Beratungsfirma EY fest: „In den Ballungszentren entstehen auffällig viele kleine Wohnungen mit hohen Quadratmeterpreisen.“

      "China’s banks under pressure, to keep down lending
      on: February 13, 2018In


      Chinese banks have been given instruction by regulators to rein in the administering of any new credit this week, Caixin reported Monday evening, in the run up to the Spring Festival holiday.

      Data released by the People’s Bank of China showed that domestic banks had lent a record amount of new loans in January, giving out a total of 2.9 trillion yuan ($456 billion). This surpassed the previous estimate of 2 trillion yuan for the month.

      Credit has become a wider issue for the Chinese economy in the last year, with both private and state organizations taking on a record level of debt. The country’s financial regulators are expected to continue to crack-down on this in 2018 to contain any potential risk."

      "The Chinese government aims to create millions of new jobs in 2018 by promoting ‘new growth engines’ of services and technology, according to Reuters, with unemployment a key focus of the year’s agenda.

      The National and Development Reform Commission (NDRC) reports that China must provide jobs for 9.7 million unemployed and over 8 million leaving college. The country’s urban-registered employment level currently stands at 3.9% and has remained stable in the last year despite an otherwise slowing economy.

      Meng Wei, a representative of the NDRC, said in a news conference on Sunday that protecting jobs was fundamental to China’s stable growth policy, adding, “we will implement an employment-first strategy and more proactive employment policies…and vigorously promote employment and entrepreneurship.” "

      on: February 13, 2018In: Autos, Brief, Energy & Environment, Investment, Law & Regulation,

      The Chinese government appears to be finalizing policies that will allow local authorities to continue funding for electric vehicle (EV) companies, Bloomberg reports, in response to rising consumer demand.

      This would be a REVERSAL of the stance set out in December last year to scrap local incentives to subsidize EV, following concerns that this would stunt the development of China’s new-energy vehicle sector.

      Under the new policy, local funding would continue to be capped at 50% of the aid provided by Beijing, sources told Bloomberg. This will help to keep EV affordable for the growing consumer market, considered a key emerging industry by the central government."

      Eine Woche, bevor in der Großen Halle des Volkes in Peking Chinas Scheinparlament zu tagen beginnt, der Nationale Volkskongress, macht die Kommunistische Partei ihren Generalsekretär Xi Jinping, der zugleich auch Staatspräsident ist, endgültig zum mächtigsten Führer des bevölkerungsreichsten Landes seit Mao: Bisher war in China zwar nicht die Amtszeit des eigentlich wichtigeren Posten des Parteichefs begrenzt, wohl aber die Dauer, die ein Staatspräsident im Amt bleiben durfte.
      Hendrik Ankenbrand

      Hendrik Ankenbrand

      Wirtschaftskorrespondent für China mit Sitz in Schanghai.

      F.A.Z.

      Diese Formulierung, die so bisher in der Staatsverfassung steht, soll nach dem Vorschlag des Zentral-Kommittees der KP entfallen, meldete am Sonntagnachmittag chinesischer Zeit die amtliche Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua. Auch der Vizepräsident soll künftig länger als zwei aufeinanderfolgende Amtszeiten bleiben dürfen. Nach den bisherigen Regeln hätte Xi am Ende seiner zweiten Amtszeit im Jahr 2023 vom Posten des Präsidenten zurücktreten müssen.
      Folgen für die Welt

      Die Verfassungsänderung, die weitreichende Folgen für das Land und den Rest der Welt haben könnte, teilte das Regierungssprachrohr in gerade einmal zwei dürren Sätzen mit. Das entspricht dem autoritären Charakter der Ein-Parteien-Herrschaft des Landes – und ist ein weiterer Hinweis darauf, dass sich Chinas Führung endgültig vom Konsensprinzip verabschiedet hat. Auf dieses hatte sich die Partei seit dem Tod des Republikgründers und sogar in den Kadern heftig umstrittenen Alleinherrschers Mao Tse-tung verständigt.

      Und noch eine andere Richtlinie der Partei dürfte künftig eine geringere Rolle spielen: Zwar gibt es offiziell eine Altersgrenze für Ämter von 68 Jahren. Diese Grenze wurde in der Vergangenheit jedoch bereits von hohen Kadern gerissen wie dem früheren obersten Korruptions-Bekämpfer Wang Qishan, der 69 Jahre alt war, als er aus seinem Amt ausschied. Inhaber wichtiger Regierungsposten, schreibt das Berliner Forschungsinstitut Mercis, dürften in China „auch älter sein“ als 68 Jahre. Es wird spekuliert, dass Wang nun das Amts des stellvertretenden Staatspräsidenten unter seinem Vertrauten Xi übernimmt. Xi selbst ist 64 Jahre alt.
      Gegner ausgeschaltet

      Seit Xi Jinping im Jahr 2012 zum Generalsekretär der KP ernannt wurde (und im folgenden Frühjahr auch das weniger wichtige Amt des Staatspräsidenten übernahm), hat Chinas Führer seine Macht Stück für Stück ausgebaut. Ermöglicht haben dies besondere Umstände wie die kurz vor Xis Amtsübernahme vollzogene, spektakuläre Verhaftung des beliebten Parteichefs von Chongqing, Bo Xilai.

      Dass dieser über seine Ehefrau in einen Mord an einem britischen Geschäftsmann verstrickt war, in dem es unter anderem um Bestechung ging, gab Xi eine gute Grundlage, um mithilfe seiner breit angelegten Antikorruptionskampagne gegen Hunderttausende Kader vorzugehen. Er schaltete dabei auch inner- und außerparteiliche Gegner aus.

      Damit dürfte in der Volksrepublik ab sofort nur noch eine Meinung zählen: die von Xi. Die Befürworter seiner Machtfülle argumentieren, dass der Präsident nur auf diese Weise tiefgreifende Reformen in dem riesigen Land durchsetzen könne, dass allein 10 Millionen Staatsbeamte hat, von denen in der Vergangenheit viele ihre eigene Agenda verfolgt haben.

      Kritiker von Xis Alleinherrschaft hingegen befürchten, dass den Präsidenten aufgrund dessen Machtstellung künftig niemand mehr zu kritisieren wagen wird und deshalb auch seine Politik, die Kontrolle in jedem Lebensbereich des Landes – einschließlich über die staatlichen und privaten, ja sogar ausländischen Unternehmen – nicht mehr hinterfragt werden wird."

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 57.154.902 von Popeye82 am 01.03.18 10:03:36Punktesystem, für den BESSEREN Menschen 😍😍😍

      http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/China-schafft-digital…

      " Ein digitales Punktekonto soll flächendeckend in China eingeführt werden und gute von schlechten Bürgern unterscheiden. Die soziale Bewertung des Einzelnen hat jedoch weitreichende Konsequenzen für sein Leben. Viele Chinesen finden es trotzdem gut.

      Yu Ganqing ist genervt, dass er heute ins Bürgeramt muss. Seine Arbeit unterbrechen, Dinge liegenlassen. Aber anders geht es nicht. Yu Ganqing benötigt eine Bescheinigung über seine "soziale Vertrauenswürdigkeit". Das Führungszeugnis muss sich der 30-Jährige auf dem Bürgeramt in Rongcheng ausdrucken lassen. Es enthält einen Punktestand. Diese Benotung errechnen die Behörden mit einem weltweit beispiellosen Sozialkredit-System, das die kommunistische Führung bis 2020 in ganz China einführen will. Es trennt zwischen guten und schlechten Bürgern. "Ich brauche das Papier, um den Kredit für eine Wohnung zu beantragen", sagt der Angestellte.

      Zentrales Register zur sozialen Kontrolle

      Die ostchinesische Küstenstadt am Gelben Meer wirbt mit dem Spruch "Atme frei, fühl dich frei in Rongcheng". Sie ist ein Winterparadies für Schwäne. Seit gut zwei Jahren gehört der Ort in der Provinz Shandong zu den Vorreitern von über 40 Pilotprojekten für das Register. Der Zentralcomputer sammelt Daten von 50 Behörden. Er vergibt Pluspunkte für gewolltes Verhalten. Und er zieht Punkte ab, wenn Menschen irgendwie abweichen und gegen Regeln verstoßen.

      Wie Big Brother in George Orwells Roman "1984" greift die Kommunistische Partei unter Staats- und Parteichef Xi Jinping damit tief in die Privatsphäre der Menschen ein. Das Ziel: "Die Vertrauenswürdigen sollen frei unter dem Himmel umherziehen können, während es den in Verruf geratenen schwer gemacht wird, einen einzigen Schritt zu tun." So steht es im Regierungsplan für die Einführung des Sozialregisters.

      Die Kontrolle des Milliardenvolkes mit digitalen Mitteln und die Allmacht des Präsidenten Xi Jinping – das seien zwei Säulen einer "neuen Form des Totalitarismus", warnen Kritiker. Denn der 64-Jährige soll nach einer Verfassungsänderung bis ans Lebensende im Amt bleiben können. Manche erinnern deshalb an alte Zeiten, als Staatsgründer Mao Tsetung uneingeschränkt herrschte und China ins Chaos stürzte.

      Guter Bürger AB 1000 Punkte

      "Dem Volke dienen", dieser Propaganda-Spruch aus Maos Tagen steht auf einer Marmorwand des Bürgeramtes von Rongcheng. Yu Ganqing wartet in der hohen, offenen Halle umgeben von Säulen und Computern. Die Beamtin am Schalter sucht seinen Namen im Computer und druckt den Nachweis aus: 1000 Punkte. Stufe A. Das bedeutet: Er ist ein "guter Bürger", hat sich nichts zuschulden kommen lassen.

      Yu Ganqing hat nicht gegen die Straßenverkehrsordnung verstoßen. Er zahlt seine Rechnungen. Politisch ist er nicht aufgefallen. So muss er auch nicht fürchten, im Punktesystem nach unten zu rutschen. "Da ich verheiratet bin, muss ich auch den Bewertungsbogen für meine Frau ausdrucken lassen." Sonst gibt es kein Darlehen.

      "Es macht zusätzlich Arbeit", klagt Yu Ganqing. Aber das Register stellt er nicht in Frage. Ob es die Leute besser macht? "Ich weiß es nicht. Vielleicht", sagt der 30-Jährige, greift seine Papiere und eilt davon.

      Lange galt das Internet als Gefahr für Diktaturen, weil Menschen sich breit informieren und sich zusammentun könnten. Doch Chinas Führer nutzen inzwischen die Datenmassen – Big Data – zur Überwachung. Mehr noch. Mit den neuen digitalen Möglichkeiten sollen die Menschen erzogen werden. "Es ist zweifellos das ehrgeizigste orwellsche Vorhaben der Menschheitsgeschichte", sagt Sebastian Heilmann, Direktor des China-Instituts Merics in Berlin.

      "Es ERMUTIGT, Gutes zu tun"

      Viele Menschen in Rongcheng betonen dagegen die Vorteile. So beurteilt die Krankenhausangestellte Lu Qunying das System positiv. "Es ermutigt, Gutes zu tun", sagt sie, während sie im Bürgeramt steht. "Wir brauchen Vorschriften oder ein System, um die Menschen zu überwachen." Gerade weil China noch nicht so weit entwickelt sei. Überhaupt: "Die Stadt ist jetzt sauberer."

      Dabei hat die kommunistische Volksrepublik keine guten Erfahrungen mit solchen gesellschaftlichen Experimenten gemacht. Die Gesinnungsschnüffelei der Kulturrevolution (1966-76), als Mao Tsetung das Denken der Chinesen verändern wollte, endete im Chaos. Auch die Ein-Kind-Politik, die die Zahl der Kinder vorschrieb, entpuppte sich als Irrweg: Die Gesellschaft überaltert. Zu wenig Junge müssen zu viele Alte versorgen. Vor zwei Jahren wurde die Politik abgeschafft.

      Das Sozialpunkte-System ist das neue Herrschaftsinstrument. Es soll den Ein-Parteien-Staat erhalten und "gute" Untertanen formen. Ohnehin trauen sich in der "neuen Ära" von Xi Jinping immer weniger, Kritik zu äußern.

      Viele finden das Register auch gar nicht so ungewöhnlich. Warum? Die Antworten liegen in Chinas Geschichte. Schon das konfuzianische Staatsmodell kümmerte sich um Tugendhaftigkeit. Als der Kommunismus kam, führten "Arbeitseinheiten" (Danwei) eine Personalakte für jeden Genossen. Die "Dang'an" enthielt Werdegang, Bewertungen von Vorgesetzten, politische Haltung, Regelverstöße und auch private Informationen. Die Akte begleitete Menschen ihr Leben lang, war quasi Vorläufer des Sozialkredit-Systems.

      Pluspunkte für Hilfe der eigenen Eltern

      Einzelne Nachbarschaften in Rongcheng sind sogar noch ehrgeiziger als das städtische System. Im Dorf Daxunjiangjia wird zusätzlich benotet, ob Nachbarn streiten. Und wie Kinder ihre alten Eltern unterstützen. Herr Mu Hongqing zum Beispiel wird mit Foto auf einer rot umrahmten Tafel an der Außenwand des Dorfkomitees lobend erwähnt: "Er besucht immer seine Eltern, respektiert die Nachbarschaft, hilft anderen, hält Versprechen, gehorcht dem Dorfkomitee."

      Eine zweite Liste lässt alle wissen, wie Kinder ihren Eltern unter die Arme greifen: Neben den Namen stehen die Geldbeträge, aber auch Waren wie Speiseöl. Gelobt wird, wenn sie Arztrechnungen bezahlen und häufig zu Besuch kommen.

      Dorfbewohner und Bauer Mu Linming ist begeistert: "Es zeigt, wer gut ist und wer nicht." Der 62-Jährige mit dem einladenden Lächeln bittet in sein Haus, schenkt den Besuchern Äpfel und Erdnüsse. "Unser Dorf war immer gut", sagt der frühere Bauarbeiter. "Aber nach Einführung des Systems ist es noch besser geworden."

      Sozial-Schufa: Triple A für die Besten

      Alle Bürger über 18 Jahre – mehr als 600.000 Einwohner und 140.000 Zugezogene – sind in Rongcheng erfasst, berichtete He Junning, Direktor der "Sozialkredit-Verwaltung". Jeder startet mit 1000 Punkten. Das ist Stufe A. Die Behörden liefern Informationen über Verkehrsdelikte, Festnahmen, Spenden und Freiwilligenarbeit. Sein Sozialkreditamt hat acht Mitarbeiter. Ihre Aufgabe: "Wir beschäftigen uns mit der Prüfung und Genehmigung der Informationen für die Kreditpunkte, die uns lokale Stellen liefern."

      Wer 1000 Yuan für einen guten Zweck spendet, bekommt fünf Punkte. Wem die Stadt eine Auszeichnung verleiht, erhält 30. Bei 1300 Punkten ist der Höchststand AAA erreicht. Dann gibt es Ermäßigungen bei Heizungs- oder Wasserrechnungen. AAA-Bürger müssen keine Kaution für Leihfahrräder und in der Bücherei hinterlegen. Will ein Beamter befördert werden, braucht er viele Punkte. Firmen lassen sich bei Einstellungen die Punkte zeigen. Auch manche Eltern wollen wissen, wo der Verlobte der Tochter denn so steht: Schwiegersohn-TÜV.

      In Deutschland gibt es etwa die Schufa, die über die finanzielle Kreditwürdigkeit Auskunft erteilt. In China sollen nicht allein die finanzielle, sondern auch die private, polizeiliche, politische und moralische Vorgeschichte in dieser "Sozial-Schufa" zusammenfließen.

      "Sünden" bestraft das System sofort

      Ein einfacher Verkehrsverstoß kostet fünf Punkte. "Wer betrunken Auto fährt, fällt direkt auf Stufe C", sagt Direktor He. Das sind 600 bis 859 Punkte. Darunter gibt es nur noch Stufe D. So jemand findet schwerer Jobs und wird nicht befördert.

      Wenn das Register im ganzen Land eingeführt worden ist, sind noch weitere Strafregelungen denkbar. So gibt es schwarze Listen mit Millionen von Chinesen, die mit Gerichten oder Behörden in Konflikt geraten sind. Sie können schon heute zum Beispiel keine Flüge buchen.

      Nicht nur Justizdaten fließen bereits heute ein, auch Banken kooperieren mit dem Sozialkredit-System. Ähnliches gilt für Internetkonzerne wie Alibaba: Keiner sammelt in China mehr Daten über seine Kunden als der Kreditarm Sesam (Zhima) der weltgrößten Handelsplattform. Das Sozialkreditamt in Rongcheng habe eine Zusammenarbeit mit Alibaba vereinbart, berichtet Direktor He. "Was genau an Daten ausgetauscht werden soll, wird noch verhandelt."

      Die Kooperationsvereinbarung zeigt, dass sich der Staat beim Sozialkredit-System auch auf die Datensammelwut der Internetriesen stützen will. Kritiker empfinden das Sesam-Kreditsystem von Alibaba aber als problematisch. Mit einem undurchsichtigen Algorithmus bewerte es nicht nur den Umgang der Kunden mit Geld und ihre Spielvorlieben, sondern stütze sich auch auf die Kreditwürdigkeit der persönlichen Kontakte im Adressbuch.

      Kontrolle durch digitalen Wandel

      Mit seinen mehr als 770 Millionen Internetnutzern bietet China einen gewaltigen Datenpool. Rund eine halbe Milliarde Chinesen bezahlt heute schon bargeldlos mit dem Handy – am Marktstand, in Restaurants und beim Stromversorger. Die große Mehrheit ist auf der Allzweckplattform WeChat des Konzerns Tencent unterwegs. Im nächsten Jahr können sich Nutzer über WeChat sogar ausweisen: mit einem elektronischen Personalausweis.Der digitale Wandel bringt Big Data und Big Brother zusammen. Nicht nur in China, sondern auch andernorts. In der Welt von Google, Facebook, Amazon, Baidu und Alibaba wird das Online-Verhalten der Nutzer verfolgt und vorhergesagt. Skeptiker warnen, dass auch andere Staaten der Versuchung nicht widerstehen könnten, Chinas Beispiel zu folgen und die Herrschaft digital durch Kontrolle abzusichern.

      Internetaktivitäten im Visier

      So schaut sich die Verwaltung der Nachbarschaft "Morgenröte" auf der anderen Straße des Sozialkreditamtes von Rongcheng schon die Aktivitäten ihrer 12.000 Bewohner auf sozialen Medien genau an. Auf einer Schautafel wird vor kritischen Äußerungen online gewarnt. Wenn jemand "im Internet Gerüchte verbreitet oder andere verleumdet", könne die Familie nicht mehr als "zivilisiert" eingestuft werden.

      Dass Äußerungen in sozialen Medien benotet werden, ist Herrn Chen neu. Er ist Unternehmer, hat zwei Kinder und wohnt seit zehn Jahren in dem Viertel. "Ich denke, dass das System die einfachen Menschen nicht zu sehr betrifft", meint der 32-Jährige. "Aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass sich das Benehmen der Leute im letzten halben Jahr verbessert hat." Viele Autofahrer stoppten endlich am Zebrastreifen.

      Er ist zurückhaltend, mit einem ausländischen Journalisten über das System zu sprechen, betont aber, er sei nicht beunruhigt. "Ich tue ja nichts Schlechtes." Ob das nicht zu viel Schnüffelei wird? "Haben wir denn überhaupt noch eine Privatsphäre?", fragt er zurück. Auch seine Firma, die Sicherheitssysteme für Gebäude anbietet, ist erfasst. Denn nicht nur Privatleute, sondern auch Unternehmen werden bewertet. Um öffentliche Aufträge zu erhalten, muss er den Punkteauszug vorlegen.

      Frau Xia hat gerade im Supermarkt eingekauft, will mit dem Auto nach Hause fahren. Etwas nervös hält sie ihre Einkaufstüte. Sie fühlt sich erkennbar unwohl, befragt zu werden. "Ich finde das System gut", sagt die 38-jährige Angestellte. "Es zügelt die Menschen, sodass sich ihr Benehmen verbessert." Ihren eigenen Punktestand kennt sie nicht. Sie hat aber gehört, dass der Chef ihres Unternehmens viele Punkte hat. "Ich vermute, dass er Großes leistet."

      BESSERE Lebensbedingungen durch soziale Bewertung

      Also, wie lässt sich Gutes tun und der Punktestand verbessern? Dafür ist Frau Ju Junfang, Vizedirektorin des Freiwilligenzentrums, zuständig. "Viele Leute kommen zu uns und leisten Freiwilligenarbeit – hohe Beamte wie einfache Leute." Für 30 Stunden Arbeit gibt es fünf Punkte, für 60 Stunden zehn.

      Eine Gesellschaft brauche Regeln, argumentiert eine Dame vor dem Supermarkt. "Sonst gibt es ein Durcheinander." Dass der Punktestand der Eltern irgendwann beeinflussen könnte, auf welche Schule die Kinder gehen dürfen, wie Kritiker warnen, fände sie allerdings nicht richtig. Aber dass Eltern dann eventuell mehr für die Schule bezahlen müssten, wäre "schon gerecht".

      Das System habe viel erreicht, findet die Frau. Das Viertel "Morgenröte" habe einen guten Ruf. Ihre Wohnungen stiegen im Wert. "Ich hoffe, dass dieses System gefördert und ausgebaut wird, um jeden zu beobachten." Um ihre Privatsphäre sorgt sie sich nicht. "Ich vertraue der Regierung. Wem könnte ich noch trauen, wenn ich der Regierung nicht mehr trauen kann?"

      Totale Überwachung befürchtet

      Soviel Gehorsam ist dem Schriftsteller Murong Xuecun nicht geheuer. "Je mehr Macht die Regierung besitzt, umso gefährlicher ist es für die Rechte der Bürger", warnt der Kommentator, der in den Augen der chinesischen Führung sicher nicht zu den "guten" Untertanen zählt. Sein Blog hatte mehr als eine Million Leser, als ihn die Behörden wegen seiner kritischen Äußerungen sperrten.

      Ob jemand mit seinem Hund Gassi gehe oder seine Eltern besuche, dürfe nicht bewertet werden. "Anstand geht die Regierung nichts an", sagt der Autor. Es sei die totale Überwachung. "Wenn du eines Tages etwas schreibst, was der Regierung nicht gefällt, kriegst du Punkteabzug und wirst Probleme haben, ein Flug- oder Zugticket zu kaufen, einen Kredit zu bekommen oder ein Apartment zu mieten."

      Trump eyes tariffs on further $60 billion Chinese goods in tech sector
      http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-china/trump-eyes…
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/trump-eyes-tariffs-on-furthe…

      "Following on from last week’s signing in of tariffs on metal imports, President Donald Trump is now seeking to introduce further duties on $60 billion of Chinese goods imported into the US within the technology and telecommunications sectors, sources told Reuters yesterday.

      The planned tariffs will act as punishment to China for it’s stringent investment policies that pressure foreign companies to reveal intellectual property secrets if they are to set up business in the country.

      Trump has spoken strongly about China’s alleged theft of intellectual property, as well as the wider trade surplus it maintains with the US. “He’s serious about calling their hand on this, and my understanding is they are looking at a broad array of options to do that,” U.S. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady said to reporters."

      "The US Chamber of Commerce released a statement yesterday warning President Donald Trump of the negative impacts proposed tariffs on Chinese imports could have on the American economy, the Washington Post reports.

      President of the Chamber Thomas Donohue said in the statement that “simply put, tariffs are damaging taxes on American consumers,” referring to speculation that the White House is considering a further $30 billion worth of Chinese goods as punishment for poor behaviour regarding US intellectual property. Since August last year the Trump administration has been investigating Chinese policies that effectively force US companies to sacrifice technology in order to set up operations.

      Noting that such protectionist measures would neutralise the backwinds the American economy received from December’s tax cuts, Donohue went on to say that a more fruitful alternative would be to “work with the business community to resolve the real and justifiable concerns raised by Chinese trade practices.”"

      "China cut fertilizer use and still increased crop yields. This is how they did it

      Millions of Chinese farmers are reaping the benefits of a massive agricultural study, which has helped them increase their crop yields whilst reducing the use of fertilizer.

      Specific, evidence-based recommendations were made to 21 million Chinese farmers over a decade, offering them detailed advice about which variety of crop to use, exactly the best time to plant, how many seeds to sow and how much fertilizer to use.

      The detailed guidance led to an increase in the amount of maize, wheat and rice produced, with crop yields increasing at an average of 11%.

      Meanwhile, fertilizer use was reduced by an average of 15% per crop, saving 1.2 million tonnes of nitrogen, according to the study published in Nature.

      And the combination of greater yields and less fertilizer led to total economic savings of $12.2bn for the farmers.

      The study is of huge importance to those looking at the future of sustainable agriculture and how the world will produce enough food for the rising population. It also points to the way in which science can improve agriculture.


      The use of fertilizers around the world is growing

      Cross-border cooperation

      However, it may not be easy to replicate the results elsewhere.

      The scale of the project was vast and required a significant investment of both manpower and money which would be hard for other developing countries to replicate.

      The farmers were convinced to change their practices as a result of 14,000 workshops, on-site demonstrations and outreach programmes. This was achieved with the help of more than 1,000 researchers, 65,000 bureaucrats and technicians as well as 140,000 representatives from agriculture businesses.

      China’s centrally-controlled government is capable of implementing policies across the whole country, unlike many sub-Saharan African countries.

      “It would clearly have benefits across sub-Saharan Africa, but an approach is needed that crosses borders, organizations and funders,” Leslie Firbank, Professor of Sustainable Agriculture at Leeds University told Nature.

      Cutting back


      Fertilizer consumption has grown in Asia faster than any other part of the world
      Image: FAO

      The success in China is also partially due to its history of over-use of fertilizers, as it has strived to produce enough food to keep pace with population growth.

      Chinese farmers use an average of 305 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare per year – more than four times the global average. China has been a significant contributor to the world’s increased use of fertilizers, and Asia’s fertilizer consumption has grown faster than any other part of the world.

      This has serious consequences for the environment as well as for agriculture.

      Fertilizers such as nitrogen often end up in water sources, and contribute to the acidification of soil.

      They also cause global warming, causing soil microbes to emit unexpectedly high levels of nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with 300 times as much heat-trapping power as carbon dioxide.


      Less fertilizer use also helps reduce climate change
      Image: Nature

      The UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization predicted that global fertilizer use would grow by 1.4% each year between 2014 and 2018, with China accounting for 18% of that growth.

      The report into the experiment notes that the Chinese farmers needed some convincing about the evidence before changing their normal farming methods.

      Seeing the increased crop production should now give the Chinese farmers the incentive they need to cut back on fertilizer use.

      And the wider community can learn from what happens when scientific evidence guides farming practices."

      "China lets its rich invest more offshore, as cash outflow fears ease


      After a two-year wait, Chinese regulators have revived a programme allowing global asset managers including JPMorgan Chase to raise funds from Chinese onshore clients for investment in offshore hedge funds.

      The easing of capital controls shows how Chinese regulators are increasingly relaxed about cross-border capital flows amid a stable Chinese economy and persistent dollar weakness.

      JPMorgan Asset Management has received a new quota for the programme, and several other asset managers are expecting similar allotments, according to three people familiar with the situation. JPMorgan received a $50m quota in January, one of those people said.

      BNP Paribas Asset Management is expecting approval for a quota from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, another person said.

      The outbound investment programme for so-called Qualified Domestic Limited Partners, or QDLPs, was launched in 2013 but informally halted in 2016 as China’s foreign exchange regulators grew concerned about capital flight and renminbi depreciation.

      Chinese policymakers are preparing market opening measures in securities, insurance and fund management to appease US trade warriors. Though the QDLP relaxation predates the recent outbreak of US-China trade tension, the quotas will be welcomed by western fund managers eager to win greater access to the Chinese market after years of incremental opening.

      The controls on capital flight remained tight throughout 2017 as many global asset managers such as Alliance, Aberdeen Standard Investments, BNP Paribas Asset Management and Och-Ziff waited for news on the restart of the once highly anticipated programme.

      A modern trade route between Asia and Europe is under construction. The gigantic project is the brainchild of Chinese president Xi Jinping.

      The New Silk Road is one of the most ambitious undertakings by far to be put forward by the Chinese president Xi Jinping. 10,000 kilometers of road, a railway line and a shipping route are to run from western China to Europe via Kazakhstan, the Urals and Moscow. Since the start of the 21st century China has become the most important export nation on the global stage. But in light of increasing tensions in the South China Sea and the threat from North Korea, it’s becoming more and more important for China to open up alternative trade routes. As a result the country has turned its gaze westward, to central Asia with its many resources and to Europe, which is still its most important trading partner. The construction of the road with the parallel railway line has already begun in Chongqing, a megacity in the country’s interior that’s just one example of the economic boom of the past thirty years. The products made here will, it’s hoped, reach European customers effortlessly in a few years’ time. But it’s not just China’s exporters who hope to benefit from this infrastructure project. Rural regions in the west of the country should also see a boost. There’s the province of Xinjiang for example, which has seen little of the economic growth of recent years. But China’s ambitions go beyond its national borders. The planned New Silk Road runs past rich oil fields as it goes through Kazakhstan. The extraction of oil is to be ramped up, thereby securing China’s growing need for energy. By extending the route all the way to the edge of the Urals, Beijing can get all the way to Russia. But it’s not certain whether the former big brother will welcome the expansion of China’s sphere of influence all the way to central Asia and Europe. In the form of a geopolitical road movie, this documentary looks at the far-reaching shifts in the Eurasian power balance. Sooner or later the Europeans will have to take a stance on China’s new ‘soft imperialism’.

      "China’s carbon emissions on track, for fastest growth in 7 years
      on: May 30, 2018In: Brief, Commodities, Energy & Environment, Politics & SocietyTags: No


      A new study has forecast China’s carbon emissions to accelerate further in 2018, despite Beijing’s highly-publicised efforts to switch to greener energy sources and policies.

      The study, conducted by US environmental charity Greenpeace, showed that China’s carbon emissions rose 4% in 2018 Q1. Should this rate persist for the remainder of the year, then it would be the fastest yearly increase for China in seven years.

      China is already the world’s largest emitter, contributing to over one-quarter of global CO2 production. As the Financial Times reports, the recovery of the Chinese economy in 2017 boosted global emissions which had begun to flatline in the two years previous.

      The study was based on Beijing’s own data, casting doubt on the efficacy and seriousness of the government’s anti-pollution policies. Repeated talk of improving air quality and shifting from coal to natural gas may seem cheap if this accelerating trend continues. On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that China was also considering upping its coal imports from the US to help it reduce the countries’ trade imbalance."

      IMF forecasts China’s growth will slow, to 5,5%, by 2023
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/imf-forecasts-chinas-growth-…

      "The International Monetary Fund maintained its forecast for China’s annual GDP growth for 2018 at 6.6%, reports the Financial Times. But the fund predicts that this figure will fall to around 5.5% by 2023.

      The 6.6% estimate was revised up from 6.5% in January but would still be a 0.3% decline from 2017’s 6.9% – the fastest growth rate the country had seen since 2015.

      David Lipton, the IMF’s first deputy managing director, praised China’s welcome change in “policy focus from high-speed to high-quality growth” in the report, referring to President Xi Jinping’s calls to regional governments earlier in the year to sacrifice ambitious growth targets driven by borrowing for more sustainable economic development."

      The trade war was never on hold, claims White House trade adviser

      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/the-trade-war-was-never-on-h…

      "White House senior trade adviser Peter Navarro has seemingly rebuked Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s comments made last week that the US and China had put their trade war on hold, Bloomberg reports, calling it an “unfortunate sound bite.”

      “What we’re having with China is a trade dispute, plain and simple,” said Navarro in an interview on Wednesday. He added that because of trade deals like Nafta and rulings made by the WTO involving China, the US had “lost the trade war long ago.”

      White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also gave an alternative interpretative of Mnuchin’s remarks. The Treasury Secretary “didn’t say it was on hold indefinitely,” according to Sanders. “The president ultimately makes the decisions on trade, and when he does we announce them. And that’s exactly what’s taking in this process.”

      Navarro’s comments reinforce the growing sense of divide between members of the White House team on how to tackle China. Whilst Mnuchin had managed to secure promises from China to greatly reduce the bilateral trade deficit, more hawkish officials like Navarro or US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer think stricter, more punitive measures must be taken."

      China to cut tariffs, on consumer goods, in July

      "China will cut import tariffs on a list of daily consumer goods to come into effect from July 1st, the State Council announced on Wednesday, as Beijing experiences pressure from the US and Europe to make its markets more open to foreign goods.

      Duties on clothing, shoes, kitchenware, and sports supplies will be cut from 15.9% to 7.1%, reports Xinhua, whilst washing machines and home appliances will see tariffs cut from 20.5% to just 8%.

      Processed food and fish products will see a similar reduction from 15.2% to 6.9%. Cosmetics and detergents tariffs will fall to 2.9% from 8.4%."

      "China’s agricultural paradigm shift

      China’s agricultural support policies are moving towards marketised institutions, after a decade of state subsidies for direct production resulted in oversupply. A new framework of indirect support will focus on two measures: developing crop insurance for farmers, and developing futures markets for price discovery.

      These ‘Insurance plus Futures’ policy pilots currently underway in China represent a giant paradigm shift for global grain and oilseed production. China is simultaneously ending state procurement on much of its agricultural product, while also opening the processing industry to imports.

      There are four systemic reforms currently underway to transform China’s agricultural production system from state-procurement to market-priced production: agro-industrial upgrading, agricultural credit, agricultural insurance, and futures price-setting on agricultural commodities.

      Agro-industrial upgrading will remain state subsidised, and agricultural credit has proven too difficult to effectively reform. But insurance and futures reforms are soon to move out of the pilot stage and into mainstream policy.

      The government will no longer purchase grain directly from peasants, instead replacing state procurement with a new form of agricultural crop insurance. Insurance reforms will gradually step in to replace the social policy function of state procurement guaranteeing peasant incomes. The alliance of peasants and workers is enshrined in the Chinese constitution, and the Chinese Communist Party has an overt yet derogated governance obligation to the peasantry.

      As an interim price-setting measure, a ‘target-price’ mechanism is designed to work towards the development of futures contracts, commodities exchanges, and other price formation institutions in China. A target-price is a floor-price at the provincial level on a single commodity, such as corn. Each province may set different prices for the same commodity, introducing some variability into national pricing. However, a range of institutional upgrades are necessary for the upgrade to full-scale futures markets in order to be able to create and transmit credible price signals to buyers and sellers.

      These previously hollow institutions, sidelined for decades from actual agricultural production, are to become effective agents in the new pseudo-market model. The government will support the development of futures exchanges to attract technical transfers in human capital and know-how from foreign institutions in order to promote effective institutional integration with global markets.

      However, rapidly developing the market institutions necessary to form and transmit commodity price signals will take time.

      On the international front, opening to imports does not mean a wholesale opening to foreign capital. China’s Pacific Ocean market-import strategy will be markedly different to its Indian Ocean state-import strategy. Kazakh oilseeds and grains and African fish will come under a very different trade arrangement than rapeseed and soybean imports from North America.

      This all means that in the area of international commodities, the gravity of institutional legitimacy is shifting to China, as China’s leaders move the country towards becoming a net importer in a range of commodities. Just as institutions such as the Chicago Board of Trade or the London Metals Exchange have enjoyed institutional legitimacy before it, China hopes that the commodities exchanges in Dalian and Zhengzhou could entice global markets to take signals from China.

      This is part of a wider move in China towards greater imports – not just in agriculture. For China, the incentive is not a sudden urge to align with global agricultural commodity trade institutions and practice. Rather, increasing imports is a way for China to expand its leverage over the price-setting institutions of global commodities.

      The gravity of China’s agricultural trade is also shifting to the Indian Ocean trade arrangements and away from the Pacific. China opening to more Pacific imports will really be liberalisation after the geo-economic paradigm has already shifted.

      While the short-term Trump tariffs will dominate soybean news this year, China ending its policy of state procurement on staple crops is a paradigm shift for global agricultural commodity production.

      The long-term move to a market model on domestically produced agricultural commodities and the opening of China’s consumer markets to imports of agricultural commodities would be a massive benefit to China as it sources cheaper grains and oilseeds to service its food needs. For agricultural exporting countries though, if China does open to greater imports, future political risk lies in the institutional legitimacy of price-setting, indices, and exchanges.

      Global political factors will likely slow down China’s international import strategy for agricultural commodities. These include the ongoing trade dispute with the United States, exclusion from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and wider institutionalised global trade uncertainty. However, China is genuinely moving to open agricultural markets while maintaining control of an agro-industrial policy complex.

      This is quite an extraordinary situation for China’s agro-industrial development, as it is the opposite of the pattern of other rapidly industrialising East Asian economies. Historically, state-capitalist economies tend to open their manufacturing sector before agriculture.

      However, the end game is not convergence with open market economies, but establishing the legitimacy of institutions. Bringing China’s domestic agricultural commodities into market-based production systems should be applauded, yet the financial and social vacuum of doing so while maintaining an essentially peasant population must still be questioned.

      China willing to increase US imports, by $70 billion
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/china-willing-to-increase-us…
      http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-05/china-said…

      "Chinese officials have told their US counterparts that China is willing to purchase $70 billion of additional American exports in the next year, quantifying for the first time promises made in recent weeks to reduce the two countries' trade imbalance.

      Sources talking to Bloomberg, however, value the figure closer to $25 billion after accounting for products China has already shown interest in buying. Both figures, nevertheless, fall short of the White House's demands made in May to cut the deficit by $200 billion over the next two years.

      Following US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' inconclusive visit to Beijing last weekend, China warned that all promises it had made pertaining to US imports depended on the condition of no new tariffs on Chinese goods.

      President Trump has yet to meet with his advisors to discuss the US' response to the offer."

      Myanmar reconsidering $9bn Chinese-backed Belt and Road project
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/myanmar-reconsider-9bn-chine…

      "Myanmar’s government is having second thoughts about a $9 billion port construction project financed by China, reports the Financial Times, amid concerns of the port coming under Chinese control should the country fail on its debt repayments.

      Construction of the deepwater port will be led by China’s Citic Group, which will head a consortium responsible for 70% of the project, while Myanmar’s government takes the other 30%.

      Officials are attempting to negotiate down the costs of the Kyaukpyu port in western Myanmar. The port, when completed, will provide China with a highly-desired trading corridor to the Indian Ocean that does not necessitate passing through the Malacca Straits. It is one of the many individual projects comprising Beijing’s recent ‘Belt and Road’ regional infrastructure initiative.

      Kyaukpyu, one of Myanmar’s largest ever infrastructure projects, is giving policymakers “nightmares”, reports one official. “If the project doesn’t do well, there is the risk of defaulting and becoming a Chinese-owned port.” "

      Banks required to share corporate debt information with other lenders

      "New rules laid out by China’s banking regulator will require banks lending to the same client to share the borrower’s credit history as well as set a limit for the funds the client can take on, Caixin reports.

      Continuing Beijing’s deleveraging campaign, this latest round of regulation hopes to put restrictions on companies taking on irresponsible levels of debt from multiple lenders, according to the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.

      Banks sharing a customer will share information such as the borrower’s total debt levels, any unreported affiliated companies, cross-checking the firm’s financials and repayment programs with one another.

      Lenders must also agree on a “joint credit granting mechanism” for companies borrowing over RMB 5 billion ($780 million) from over three separate banks."

      Chinese solar industry begs government to delay subsidy cuts
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/chinese-solar-industry-begs-…
      http://www.scmp.com/news/china/policies-politics/article/214…

      "Executives from 11 Chinese solar panel manufacturing companies have sent a letter to the state-run Xinhua News Agency demanding that the government delay its plans to cut back on the number of new solar power projects and cut subsidies to the solar industry, the South China Morning Post reports.

      The letter claims that Chinese solar companies have amassed large debts in a bid to compete with traditional power generators and therefore need up to five years more government support.

      On June 1, China’s National Development and Reform Commission announced that it will install just 30 gigawatts of new solar capacity this year, down from 53 GW in 2017, in a bid to “optimize” the sector. This is likely a reference to the fact that much renewable energy capacity in China often lies idle, because it is built up rapidly in areas where demand for power is relatively low and the grid infrastructure is unable to transfer the power to areas with higher demand.

      The NDRC’s proposals would also cancel any new solar plants that require subsidies."

      Malaysia hints at Chinese links in 1MDB financial scandal

      "A pair of Beijing-backed infrastructure projects is being investigated by the Malaysian government for supposed links to the corrupt state investment fund involved in the 1MDB scandal.

      The country’s finance minister Lim Guan Eng said that the previous government, led by the recently defeated Najib Razak, had agreed to make payments on two Chinese-built oil and gas pipelines with a combined cost of over $2 billion, without paying attention to the projects’ progress.

      According to the Financial Times, the two three-year projects had only completed 13% of the total construction 12 months into development, yet 90% of the invoice had been paid by Malaysia’s government to the Chinese state-backed Petroleum Pipeline Bureau.

      “We are strongly suspicious this is all part of the 1MDB scam,” said Lim. “The problem of course lies with the local treasury officials and the leaders who approved and signed not only the contract but also the payments.”"

      Investors participating in the program, and its yuan-denominated version RQFII, will be free to move money between Chinese and overseas accounts depending on their requirements and can hedge against movements in foreign exchange.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 57.917.283 von Popeye82 am 06.06.18 07:28:24China’s debt activity falls, to two-year low, in May
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/chinas-debt-activity-in-may-…

      "The new rules introduced by the Chinese government in recent months aimed at restricting sources of debt financing seem to be taking effect, as total social financing fell considerably during May, according to data from the People’s Bank of China released Tuesday.

      Total Social Financing, or TSF, came in at RMB 761 billion ($119 billion) last month, the lowest posting for almost two years. Analysts have pointed to a precipitous decline in bond financing, and particularly shadow banking, as the primary cause.

      In terms of growth, this means that May’s increase in TSF slowed to 10.3% year-on-year from 10.5% in April amid the tighter monetary conditions and regulations. Asset management products have been hit with new rules to break implicit guarantees, stem the growth of non-standardised debt assets, and bring more activity onto the balance sheet.

      Whilst bank lending grew by 38%, off-balance-sheet lending, namely entrusted loans, trust loans and bank acceptance bills, fell by RMB 421.5 billion in May. Corporate bond financing also fell RMB 43 billion, the largest drop in 12 months."

      TOKIO/SCHANGHAI (Dow Jones)--Die weitere Verschärfung des Handelsstreits zwischen den USA und China sorgt am Dienstag für deutliche Abgaben an den ostasiatischen Aktienmärkten. Vor allem an den Börsen in Schanghai und Hongkong geht es kräftig nach unten. Hier müssen die Indizes zudem die negative Entwicklung des Vortages nachholen, als es an den anderen Handelsplätzen schon nach unten gegangen war. US-Präsident Donald Trump plant nun weitere Strafzölle in Höhe von zehn Prozent auf chinesische Waren im Wert von 200 Milliarden Dollar. Trump hatte erst in der vergangenen Woche Strafzölle in Höhe von 25 Prozent auf chinesische Importe im Wert von 50 Milliarden Dollar verhängt, woraufhin China Gegenmaßnahmen in gleichen Umfang ankündigte. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt drohte Trump bereits mit zusätzlichen Maßnahmen, sollte Peking Gegenzölle erheben.

      "Der Markt war für die jüngsten Entwicklungen nicht recht vorbereitet", heißt es von einem Teilnehmer. Es drohe eine immer weitere Spirale der Eskalation. Auch mit der EU und den Nachbarn Kanada und Mexiko hat die USA das "Zoll-Roulette" eröffnet. Es drohen negative Auswirkungen auf die globale Konjunktur.

      China hat die jüngsten angedrohten Strafzölle als "Erpressung" bezeichnet. Das Vorgehen von "extremem Druck und Erpressung" weiche von dem Konsens ab, den beide Seiten in mehreren Verhandlungsrunden erzielt hätten, hieß es vom chinesischen Handelsministerium. Sollten die USA die Pläne umsetzen, bleibe China keine Wahl, als entsprechende Gegenmaßnahmen zu ergreifen.
      Der Schanghai-Composite bricht um 3,0 Prozent auf 2.932 Punkte ein. Damit geht es bereits den dritten Handelstag in Folge abwärts. Erst zum Wochenschluss war der Index auf den tiefsten Stand seit 21 Monaten gefallen. Der Hang-Seng-Index in Hongkong büßt 2,2 Prozent ein. Nicht ganz so deutlich fällt das Minus in Tokio aus, wo es für den Nikkei-225 um 1,5 Prozent 22.336 Punkte nach unten geht. An der Börse in Seoul liegt der Kospi 0,8 Prozent im Minus.



      Apple-Zulieferer unter massivem Abgabedruck

      Besonders kräftig abwärts geht es für die Aktien von Apple-Zulieferern. Hier herrscht die Sorge, dass die Eskalation im Handelsstreit negative Auswirkungen auf die in China produzierten iPhones haben könnte. Die Aktie des IPhone-Kamera-Herstellers Cowell Holdings verliert 10,5 Prozent in Hongkong und fällt auf Rekordtiefststände. Die Papiere von Sunny Optical, einem Hersteller von Smartphone-Linsen, geben um 5,7 Prozent nach. AAC Technologies fallen um 3,9 Prozent, und in Taiwan verzeichnen Largan Precision einen Abschlag von 4,3 Prozent.
      Die Verschärfung des Handelskonflikts verschafft dem als "sicheren Hafen" gesuchten Yen deutlichen Zulauf. Der Dollar fällt auf 109,77 Yen, nach Ständen um 110,50 Yen am Vortag. Nach Aussage von Devisen-Händlern hat damit auch die Unterstützungsmarke bei 100 Yen nicht gehalten. Der starke Yen setzt die Exportwerte in Tokio unter Druck. Die Aktien von Komatsu fallen um 2,3 Prozent, Toyota Motor reduzieren sich um 0,6 Prozent und Honda Motor fallen um 1,5 Prozent.
      Auch Gold ist bei den Investoren mit der steigenden Risikoscheu der Investoren gesucht. Der Preis für die Feinunze steigt um 0,3 Prozent auf 1.283 Dollar. Die Feinunze war am Freitag im Verbund mit anderen Rohstoffen wie Industriemetallen mit der Verschärfung im Handelsstreit noch auf ein Sechsmonatstief gefallen, profitiere nun aber von seinem Status als "sicherer Hafen".
      Die Ölpreise geben nach der kräftigen Vortageserholung einen Teil ihrer Gewinne wieder ab. Auch hier belasten die Befürchtungen negativer Auswirkungen des Handelsstreits zwischen den USA und China. Der Preis für ein Barrel der US-Sorte WTI fällt um 0,5 Prozent auf 65,50 Dollar. Für Brent geht es um 0,7 Prozent auf 74,82 Dollar nach unten.
      ZTE brechen mit neuerlicher Verkaufsblockade ein

      Die Aktie von ZTE steht in Hongkong erneut unter Abgabedruck und bricht um 24,8 Prozent ein. Erst in der Vorwoche war der Handel mit den Titeln nach einer zweimonatigen Aussetzung wieder aufgenommen worden. Der Handel mit der Aktie war eingestellt worden, nachdem die USA dem chinesischen Unternehmen vorgeworfen hatten, Sanktionen gegen den Iran unterlaufen zu haben. Daraufhin mussten US-Zulieferer die Zusammenarbeit mit ZTE beenden, was ZTE wiederum zwang, den Geschäftsbetrieb einzustellen.
      Nun hat der US-Senat einen Gesetzentwurf zur Wiedereinführung eines Verkaufsverbots von Komponenten an den chinesischen Technologiekonzern ZTE verabschiedet. ZTE braucht US-Komponenten, um Smartphones und Mobilfunkausrüstung herzustellen. Anfang Juni war zwischen den USA und China eine Einigung erreicht worden, die nun wieder hinfällig zu werden droht.
      Für die Papiere von Fujifilm geht es in Tokio mit dem negativen Gesamtmarkt um 1,6 Prozent abwärts. Das Unternehmen hat den Drucker- und Kopiererhersteller Xerox nach der gescheiterten Fusion auf 1 Milliarde US-Dollar Schadensersatz wegen Vertragsverletzung verklagt. Xerox hatte den schon vereinbarten Deal mit Fujifilm auf Druck der beiden aktivistischen Investoren Carl Icahn und Darwin Deason im Mai abgeblasen, die den US-Konzern als nicht ausreichend bewertet ansahen. Es sei unrechtmäßig gewesen, die Vereinbarung zum Zusammenschluss mit Fuji Xerox, einem Joint Venture der beiden Unternehmen, auf Druck der beiden Investoren zu beenden, heißt es in der Klageschrift von Fujifilm.

      China posts strong industrial profits for May
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/china-posts-strong-industria…

      "China’s industrial firms’ profits surged last month, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, continuing momentum from April despite many analysts pointing to a cautious economic outlook for the next quarter.

      Industrial profits jumped 21.1% year-on-year to RMB 607.1 billion ($92 billion) in May, after a 21.9% increase in April. That makes for a 16.5% increase for the first five months of 2018 from a year earlier.

      NBS official He Ping said that last month’s profit growth was the result of price gains and lower costs, with heavy industry accounting for much of the gains. Other sectors such as electronics and telecommunications are still recovering from contractions in profits earlier in the year, he added."

      Chinese think tank warns “financial panic” VERY likely

      "A Chinese government think tank has warned of “financial panic” caused by bond defaults, liquidity shortages and market turmoil, Bloomberg reports after seeing a leaked report.

      In a rare display of anxiety from a Beijing-backed economic body, the National Institution for Finance and Development wrote that China is “very likely to see a financial panic,” prevention of which should policymaker’s top priority in coming years.

      The report points out that leveraged stock purchases have reached about RMB 5 trillion ($760 billion), surpassing the levels of 2015 before the market crash, but the government has yet to address the issue.

      “We failed to clean up the leveraged funds after the 2015 market rout; they have staged a comeback in a new guis
      e
      ,” the NIFD report said.

      The report also recommends that Beijing should be on standby with full financial support should markets take a tumble, rather than smaller, stepwise responses."

      China’s central bank sets out plans to help small businesses
      on: June 26, 2018In: Banking & Finance, Brief, Economics & Trade, InvestmentTags: No
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/chinas-central-bank-sets-out…

      "The People’s Bank of China outlined a list of guidelines for financial institutions to assist small businesses in accessing credit in the latest move by the central bank to soften the impact of wider liquidity tightening on smaller enterprises.

      Among the measures was the addition of RMB 150 billion ($22.96 billion) of relending and rediscount quotas for small firms and a cut to the relending interest rate by half a percentage point, according to Caixin.

      The aim is to widen financing channels for small businesses that have traditionally been neglected in favour of larger, state-linked enterprises. Along with the PBOC’s decision to cut banks’ reserve requirement ratio and a RMB 200 billion injection into the financial sector, the new guidelines will act as a buffer against problems caused by deleveraging elsewhere in the economy.

      Over RMB 100 billion in credit is expected to be given out as a result of the guidelines."

      Volkswirte befürchten, dass sich der Konflikt zwischen China und den USA zu einem unkontrollierbaren Handelskrieg auswächst. Der Internationale Währungsfonds (IWF) sieht die betroffenen Handelsvolumina zumindest derzeit noch als zu klein an, als dass dies allein zu größeren Problemen für die Weltwirtschaft führen könnte. Allerdings werden Effekte durch die Verunsicherung der Märkte und eine immer weiter rotierende Eskalationsspirale befürchtet.

      State asset manager sets up special fund, for bankrupt firms
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/state-asset-manager-sets-up-…

      "China Cinda Asset Management – one of the big four state-run asset managers – has launched a RMB 10 billion ($1.5 billion) fund designed to give liquidity relief to firms undergoing bankruptcy proceedings.

      Due to the competing interests of parties involved in an insolvent company’s bankruptcy proceedings, some immediate financial obligations such as taxes, salaries, and severance packages may not be covered, delaying the path to bankruptcy.

      “Some of these companies should have been eliminated by the rules of the marketplace, but when it comes time for liquidation, they face problems such as how to tackle the fees they owe,” Caixin quotes one Cinda official as saying.

      Firms in such a position are not eligible for further loans from commercial banks, according to the official, so Cinda’s fund is filling that gap. He added that the fund had already invested RMB 158 million in such companies as of the end of last month."

      Tesla to build first overseas factory in Shanghai

      "Tesla has been granted permission to build a factory in Shanghai, the Wall Street Journal reports, making the electric-car company the first foreign auto firm to have a wholly-owned facility in China.

      The new plant is expected to manufacture 500,000 vehicles a year within the next decade, according to Shanghai authorities. China is Tesla’s second largest market, with some 17,000 cars being sold in 2017. In the same year, sales of electric vehicles across China reached 580,000, according to IHS Markit.

      Tesla is capitalising on the opportunity granted by the Chinese government earlier this year to foreign auto companies, whereby rules forcing overseas firms to enter into joint ventures with domestic brands are to be phased out.

      Under the new system, Tesla will be able to keep all of its profits and will not be obliged to share intellectual property secrets with the venture partner."

      "The US’s plans to hit $200 billion worth of Chinese imports with 10% levies will span the range of consumer and industrial goods, from agricultural and beverages to fuel and trailers.

      The US Trade Representative’s tariff list covers over 6,000 product types “from across all sectors of the Chinese economy”, Caixin quote. According to the USTR, the measures have been put in place as a reprimand for Beijing’s retaliatory tariffs introduced last week in a tit-for-tat move, with it becoming “apparent”, that the initial $34 billion signed in by the White House was “not sufficient” to force China to change its controversial trade practices.

      Amongst the $200 billion list are goods that, as Bloomberg noted, are no longer traded between the US and China, such as trout, as well as unexpected products such as badger hair. Some significant non-consumer goods, like the relatively clean fossil fuel liquefied natural gas, have also made it onto the shortlist.

      The new tariffs, should they come into effect after a comment period at the end of August, could slow China’s economic growth for the year by 0.3-0.5%, according to Caixin."

      http://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-economy-poll/economi…

      "A Reuters poll of economists has predicted that China’s 2018 GDP growth will be higher than previously expected, despite the cluster of economic threats facing the world’s second largest economy in the second half of the year.

      The 76 analysts surveyed gave an average forecast of 6.6% growth for the year, up from the 6.5% prediction made in April. The forecasts ranged from 6.3% to as high as 6.9%.

      The government set itself the target of 6.5% annual growth during the Two Sessions meetings in March, down from 6.9% posted in 2017. In addresses from senior officials, however, rapid GDP growth was given less weight relative to previous years, with greater emphasis on more sustainable growth rates.

      China’s first quarter growth figures exceeded expectations at 6.8%, however it is widely believed that the next six months will be challenging for the nation’s economy due to escalating trade tensions with the US and fallout from Beijing’s debt crackdown, causing momentum to ease somewhat."

      "The China Development Bank (CDB) and the Export-Import Bank of China (Ex-Im Bank) are in talks with other international lenders over cooperation on overseas projects after a number of Beijing-led deals have experienced problems.

      In a statement to the Financial Times, the CDB said that the bank was “actively co-operating” with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to establish a co-lending arrangement, whereby the CDB will follow “international standards” – such as greater, more open competition for project contracts and more comprehensive environmental impact assessments.

      Should the two sides sign a memorandum of understanding to cooperate, this would be the first example of China’s development banks, which together are the largest of their kind worldwide, removing the requirement that funded projects be carried out principally by Chinese companies.

      According to the FT, some 14% of the 1,674 China-led investment projects associated with the Belt and Road initiative since 2013 have faced problems including public protests, poor governance, performance delays, and concerns surrounding national security."

      "China Investment Corporation, the nation’s sovereign wealth fund, is seeking permission to invest in domestic securities, sources told Bloomberg, as Chinese markets fall to near-four-year lows.

      Pending approval from Beijing, CIC’s involvement in domestic markets could provide a much-needed boost to China’s struggling financial markets, which entered bear market territory in recent weeks as economic threats from rising defaults and a US-China trade war have shaken investors’ confidence.

      The $941 billion fund recently posted record returns for 2017 from its overseas portfolio. The head of CIC’s asset allocation, Fan Hua, said during a public forum last month that Chinese shares and yuan-denominated bonds could provide the fund with “very good opportunities.”

      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/chinese-consumers-ready-to-b…

      "A new survey by a Financial Times research unit has shown that the majority of Chinese consumers are willing to boycott the purchase of US goods should an all-out trade war emerge between Beijing and Washington.

      The survey, which involved 2,000 respondents from 300 cities, found that 54% of people would “probably” or “definitely” stop buying goods originating in the US “in the event of a trade war”. Only 13% said they were not willing to do so.

      Those with the highest willingness to forego US products were aged between 25 and 29, on lower-middle incomes and from smaller cities.

      The survey was conducted mostly before the Trump administration signed in 25% tariffs on $34 billion of Chinese goods on July 6th, with Beijing imposing matching retaliatory measures.

      Although Beijing has yet to call for any boycotting of US goods, it has previously done so on South Korean and Japanese products after geopolitical disagreements with the countries."

      "The People’s Bank of China supplied the country’s banking sector with an additional Rmb 502 billion ($74 billion) on Monday, the Financial Times reports, continuing a series of moves by Beijing to ease monetary policy amid rising economic threats including a trade war with Washington.

      The injection will be made via the central bank’s Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) – a lending mechanism that offers commercial banks three- to twelve-month loans. This will be the largest injection made to date using the MLF tool.

      This is the second time in two months that the People’s Bank has attempted to boost the economy through a cash injection. In late June the bank freed up Rmb 700 billion for commercial banks by lowering the reserve requirement ratio.

      With the prospect of slowing demand in key sectors such as housing and cash-flow concerns rising throughout areas of the nation’s banking sector, Beijing will hope Monday’s injection will provide some liquidity relief whilst not reversing its policy of wider deleveraging."

      Beijing to accelerate tax cuts and boost spending as growth falters

      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/government-to-take-more-proa…

      "China will pursue a more active fiscal policy to bolster economic growth during a time of growing internal and external challenges, according to the State Council.

      Following a meeting on Monday, the Council resolved to focus on tax reduction and heightened infrastructure spending funded by the issuance of government bonds, reports Caixin. China’s current quota for special bond issuance stands at Rmb 1.35 trillion ($200 billion), up 69% from Rmb 800 billion last year.

      The meeting rejected the option of a large stimulus package but promised that businesses will have Rmb 1.165 trillion more this year after tax cuts. The proposed tax cuts will make good on commitments made previously to alleviate the fiscal burden on China’s corporations by Rmb 1.1 trillion made earlier this year.

      The move comes a week after a public debate was triggered by an article written by a senior researcher at China’s central bank, in which the government’s fiscal policy was criticised for not being proactive enough at a time when both monetary and fiscal methods must be leveraged."

      "China-heavy funds had their worst-performing month since January 2016 in June, Bloomberg reports, after a slump in the country’s benchmark stock indices and tumbling currency rattled investors’ confidence in the Chinese market.

      Hedge funds managed by firms such as Modus, Yuanhao, and even Wall Street giants like Morgan Stanley saw an average of 4.4% losses in June, according to market researchers Eurekahedge. The Shanghai Composite fell 8% over the course of the month as trade rhetoric from the US and Beijing turned into action with the signing of a first round of tariffs by both sides.

      The yuan, meanwhile, has lost 4.5% on the dollar since the middle of last month.

      “The sudden turn of sentiment starting mid-June has resulted in a panic stampede as investors sell shares indiscriminately,” said Modus in its company newsletter, adding that it expects the government to use lower import tariffs and income tax cuts to buoy consumer confidence and domestic demand."

      on: July 24, 2018In: Banking & Finance, Brief, Business Practice, Law & RegulationTags: No Comments

      "China’s securities regulator has released new draft rules that will ban securities firms and fund managers from taking part in “channeling,” a controversial practice that helps clients circumvent regulations that restrict what kind of projects they can invest in, Caixin reports.

      Channeling has been in the crosshairs of regulators for a while because it increases risk in the asset management industry, which has ballooned to $3.8 trillion in recent years and has also fueled the rise of “shadow banking” in China.

      “The channeling business is a business that should be gradually cleaned up,” an official at the CSRC’s Shenzhen office told Caixin.

      A typical case of channeling would involve a securities firm acting as an intermediary to help a bank lend money to a borrower that has been banned from seeking further credit from banks, such as local government financing vehicles or real estate developers under financial stress."

      "ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — China is waging a “quiet kind of cold war” against the United States, using all its resources to try to replace America as the leading power in the world, a top CIA expert on Asia said Friday.

      Beijing doesn’t want to go to war, he said, but the current communist government, under President Xi Jingping, is subtly working on multiple fronts to undermine the U.S. in ways that are different than the more well-publicized activities being employed by Russia.

      “I would argue ... that what they’re waging against us is fundamentally a cold war — a cold war not like we saw during THE Cold War (between the U.S. and the Soviet Union) but a cold war by definition,” Michael Collins, deputy assistant director of the CIA’s East Asia mission center, said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.

      Rising U.S.-China tension goes beyond the trade dispute playing out in a tariff tit-for-tat between the two nations.

      There is concern over China’s pervasive efforts to steal business secrets and details about high-tech research being conducted in the U.S. The Chinese military is expanding and being modernized and the U.S., as well as other nations, have complained about China’s construction of military outposts on islands in the South China Sea.

      “I would argue that it’s the Crimea of the East,” Collins said, referring to Russia’s brash annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, which was condemned throughout the West.

      Collins’ comments track warnings about China’s rising influence issued by others who spoke earlier this week at the security conference. The alarm bells come at a time when Washington needs China’s help in ending its nuclear standoff with North Korea.

      On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said China, from a counterintelligence perspective, represents the broadest and most significant threat America faces. He said the FBI has economic espionage investigations in all 50 states that can be traced back to China.

      “The volume of it. The pervasiveness of it. The significance of it is something that I think this country cannot underestimate,” Wray said.

      National Intelligence Director Dan Coats also warned of rising Chinese aggression. In particular, he said, the U.S. must stand strong against China’s effort to steal business secrets and academic research.

      Susan Thornton, acting assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, said increasing the public’s awareness about the activities of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese students or groups at U.S. universities could be one way to help mitigate potential damage.

      “China is not just a footnote to what we’re dealing with with Russia,” Thornton said.

      Marcel Lettre, former undersecretary of defense for intelligence, said China has the second-largest defense budget in the world, the largest standing army of ground forces, the third-largest air force and a navy of 300 ships and more than 60 submarines.

      “All of this is in the process of being modernized and upgraded,” said Lettre, who sat on a panel with Collins and Thornton.

      He said China also is pursuing advances in cyber, artificial intelligence, engineering and technology, counter-space, anti-satellite capabilities and hypersonic glide weapons. Army Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told a congressional committee earlier this year that China is developing long-range cruise missiles — some capable of reaching supersonic speeds.

      “The Pentagon has noted that the Chinese have already pursued a test program that has had 20 times more tests than the U.S. has,” Lettre said.

      Franklin Miller, former senior director for defense policy and arms control at the National Security Council, said China’s weapons developments are emphasizing the need to have a dialogue with Beijing.

      “We need to try to engage,” Miller said. “My expectations for successful engagement are medium-low, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.”"

      China’s slow import growth points to domestic demand troubles
      on: July 13, 2018In: Consumer, Economics & Policy, Economics & TradeTags: No Comments

      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/chinas-slow-import-growth-po…

      "China’s trade data for June suggests a softening of domestic demand as imports slowed beyond expectations. But export growth has held steady despite escalating trade tensions with the United States.

      According to official monthly data, China’s export growth moderated slightly to 11.3% year-on-year (y/y) from 12.2% y/y in May, still beating the market consensus of 9.5% y/y. Of particular interest is how shipments to the US fared in the month when the first blows of the trade were dealt: the figures show that export growth to the US showed a slight uptick in June from 11.6% y/y to 12.6% y/y, although, as Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics wrote, this was likely to have been heavily influenced by companies boosting shipments to stock up on goods before tariffs were introduced.

      Imports saw a more marked slowdown to just 14.1% y/y from 26.0% y/y in May, against a Bloomberg average of 21.3% y/y, suggesting that domestic demand has weakened after tailwinds earlier in the year. Mechanical and electrical products, which together constitute around 40% of China’s imports, were among the weakest performers in June, growing at 5% y/y from 23.6% y/y the previous month. High-tech products also slumped to single-figure growth after growing at over 20% y/y for the last three months.

      Together this meant June’s trade surplus expanded to $42 billion from $24 billion in May – a six-month high. However, some analysts expect this higher surplus to be short-lived. Said Betty Wang, senior China economist at ANZ Research: “China’s exports are facing higher downside risks in H2 as the US started to impose tariffs on Chinese products from 6th July with the possibility of expanding the tariff list in the future… This could cap China’s export growth in the upcoming quarters.” The effects of front-loading in anticipation of additional levies and continued weaker domestic investment spending are also headwinds that China will face over the next six months.

      In terms of policy response, slowing import growth comes as domestic demand weakens from the fallout of Beijing’s deleveraging campaign, reinforcing the government’s case to ease its monetary policy in coming months."

      China’s central bank to ease capital requirement, to support lending

      "The People’s Bank of China plans to ease one of its capital requirements for banks in a further attempt to encourage lending, sources told Bloomberg.

      In a notice sent to several banks on Wednesday, the central bank said that the so-called “structural parameter” in the Macro-Prudential Assessment of balance sheets will be eased by 0.5%, freeing capital for lending purposes, according to the unnamed sources.

      The move, yet to be made public, would follow a string of measures recently brought in by Beijing to help support the economy amid rising threats of an impending slowdown and trade war with the US, including proposed tax cuts and a $74 billion stimulus package. The sources added that the bank considers the capital-buffer reduction as a counter-cyclical adjustment reaction to the growing trade uncertainty."

      US Senate passes bill, to cut tariffs on Chinese goods

      "Despite no signs from the White House of easing trade tensions with Beijing, the US Senate has passed a substantial bill to cut tariffs on hundreds of consumer and industrial imports from China.

      The house unanimously passed a bill that would significantly lower trade barriers on around 1,660 products shipped into the US, nearly half of which are produced in China, according to Reuters’ analysis.

      The bill – nicknamed the “miscellaneous tariff bill” – has now been passed by both houses and will shortly be sent to the President’s office for final approval. The White House has not spoken publicly about the bill.

      News of the measure was welcomed by some industry members who benefit from importing the products for their own businesses. The US National Association of Manufacturers said that at present the tariffs cost American firms up to $1 million a day.

      “It makes no sense because it is a direct and punishing tax on making things in America and for creating jobs in America,” said Jay Timmons, the association’s president."

      China proposes 10-step approach, to curb P2P risk

      "Beijing has responded to the recent crisis in the country’s massive peer-to-peer (P2P) lending market with the laying out of 10 measures aimed at re-establishing financial stability, state media reports.

      The proposed measures include a ban on local authorities, who oversee the administration of new financial services in their region, from allowing any new P2P platforms to open, state-run Xinhua said. Local governments should also set up “communications windows” with investors and to assist with compliance inspections.

      Any borrower who tries to avoid P2P loan repayments will be included on a blacklist in China’s social credit ratings system.

      China’s Rmb 1.49 trillion ($217.96 billion) P2P lending market was hit with a wave of closures in recent months with many investors finding themselves unable to withdraw their deposited funds and in some cases even contact company managers. Last week several hundred angry investors planned a protest in Beijing’s financial district, but this was quickly quelled by law enforcement."

      Manbang – also known as Full Truck Alliance Group – is a platform that connects merchants looking to transport cargo with available truck drivers. It has been nicknamed China’s “uber for trucks” and has attracted the previous backing of the likes of SoftBank and Alphabet Inc.

      The funds raised will go towards expanding Manbang’s China business, as well as potential domestic acquisitions in industries such as autonomous trucking, according to one source.

      Should the new round be successful, the Guiyang-based company’s valuation will stand at $10 billion, shooting up from $6 billion following a previous fundraising round in April this year where it gathered $1.9 billion in investment."

      The National Financing Guarantee Fund will kick off with starting capital of Rmb 66.1 billion ($9.7 billion). The country’s Ministry of Finance is the fund’s largest shareholder with a 45% stake, with the remaining stakes distributed among 20 state financial institutions.

      The fund is part of Beijing’s wider scheme to open more financing channels to small businesses, agriculture and innovative industries by using gains from equity investments to offer guarantees for loans. China’s State Council has estimated that the fund will provide guarantees on over Rmb 500 billion of loans over the next years."

      "Beijing tenants have seen their monthly rent rise by around a quarter in 2018, the Financial Times reports.

      According to a new report by property search website Zhuge, rental costs in the capital are up 25.6% year-on-year on average as of the end of July, and some areas have seen rises of up to 40%.

      According to the FT, a possible cause of the rapid rises are the ubiquity of property agencies in Beijing that dominate the rental market through sublease contracts. Caixin has also published an editorial condemning the unscrupulous behavior of agencies and landlords that tear up contracts and demand steep increases in rent, with tenants afforded inadequate protection through legal channels."

      "Global fashion companies are accelerating plans to diversify their manufacturing operations away from China to Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam and Cambodia due to the threat of US tariffs on Chinese imports, Bloomberg reports.

      Nearly 70% of fashion industry executives say they plan to reduce the percentage of their products sourced from China over the next two years and name US trade protectionism as the largest challenge facing the industry, according to a recent study by the US Fashion Industry Association.

      Cambodia is particularly attractive to many companies because it has retained tariff-free access to the American market for many products.

      Steven Madden already makes 15% of its handbags in Cambodia and plans to double this percentage by 2019, the company’s CEO Edward Rosenfeld said during a recent earnings call.

      “That gives us frankly about a three-year head start on most of our peers, because many folks are just now trying to make that move,” Rosenfeld said."

      Chinese solar company tells local government to pay its debts

      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/chinese-solar-company-tells-…

      "China’s tightening credit conditions are leading to more private companies becoming increasingly vocal in their calls for local governments to repay their debts, reports the Financial Times.

      The FT cites the case of Huang Ming, CEO of leading Chinese solar company Himin Solar, who took the unusual step of publicly calling out local officials by name:eek::eek::eek: and telling government authorities to compensate his company for the $400 million it spent building facilities for a solar conference.

      Leading property and construction entrepreneurs have also called on local governments to repay their debts in recent months. Analysts say that the fact that private companies are daring to confront local officials is likely a sign that firms are finding it increasingly difficult to access financing.

      Himin Solar has struggled in recent years after rooftop solar boilers—the company’s main product—went out of fashion in China, with consumers and developers opting for electric and gas systems. The company’s profits declined by well over three-quarters between 2008 and 2011, according to the FT."

      "A landmark merger between two of China’s three state-backed wireless carriers could be in the pipeline, sources told Bloomberg, a move which could boost the country’s 5G capacity in its race against the US for global leadership.

      The fusion of China United Network Communications Group Co. and China Telecommunications Corp. is already being considered by government regulators, the sources said. The merged entity would boast a customer base of over 590 million, making it the second largest mobile operator in the world behind China’s other major player, China Mobile.

      The deal is being posited as a potential catalyst for the government’s 5G ambitions, with a larger firm benefiting from scale efficiencies in terms of technology investments, according to the sources. The technology has moved to the forefront of tensions between China and the US, with President Donald Trump blocking Broadcom’s buyout proposal of chipmaker Qualcomm earlier in the year on the grounds that the deal might lead to the US company reducing its R&D spending.

      Executives from both companies have been reluctant to provide updates on the progress of the deal, most recently denying knowledge of any merger taking place."

      Rising food prices push up inflation in China

      "Consumer inflation accelerated in China last month following a bout of unforeseen agricultural disruptions, including the outbreak of African swine fever in several provinces.

      The headline consumer price index increased to 2.3% year-on-year (y/y) in August from 2.1% in July, driven largely by a pick-up in food price inflation from 0.5% y/y to 1.7%.

      The main driver was a significant jump in pork prices as outbreaks of African swine flu from farms across China continued to make headlines. Thirteen cases of the disease have now been confirmed in six geographically unconnected provinces. State officials have reportedly culled some 40,000 hogs to contain any further spread of the fever.

      Also pushing up prices in August was the fallout from severe flooding in the eastern province of Shandong, sometimes known as China’s “home of vegetables” due to its large agricultural sector. The extreme weather has taken its toll on the country’s crop-growing outlook and pushed up vegetable prices by 9.0% y/y.

      Producer prices grew at 4.0% y/y, the change coming from consistently high oil and steel prices. This was a month-on-month increase from July but a slight softening on a yearly basis due to a high base for comparison during last year’s second half."

      "China plans to merge three departments tasked with pushing forward the government’s family-planning policies into one new branch, the Wall Street Journal reports. The move could indicate that Beijing is moving toward a further easing of the country’s birth limits.

      The new Population Monitoring and Family Development Department will take on the remit of the previous agencies, the National Health Commission said.

      China ended its one-child policy in 2016 in favour of a two-child limit in an attempt to increase the country’s birth rate, but the results have not lived up to expectations. Only 1.3 million more babies were born in the year following the debut of the new policy, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, less than half the government’s target.

      China faces the threat of population crisis brought about by an aging population with a lack of young people to support them. Some analysts believe that limits could be abolished entirely as early as the end of 2018."

      "China is lining up a broad reduction on import tariffs for the majority of its trading partners as early as next month, sources told Bloomberg, as Beijing looks to offset the impact of escalating trade tensions with the US.

      The sources did not provide details on what products will benefit from the tariff cut or whether any US goods will be included on the list. However, under WTO rules, any change to a country’s tariff policy must be equally applied to all countries.

      “This is in line with China’s longstanding strategy of opening,” said Nicholas Lardy of the Paulson Institute. “It has the additional advantage that it will make US firms complain more loudly that Trump’s strategy is blocking their access to the China market.”

      China is also looking to make importing and exporting from China an easier process. At a State Council meeting on Wednesday, Li Keqiang called for reductions in application processing time and more available export insurance for Chinese companies."

      Chinas Wirtschaft mit schwächstem Wachstum seit Finanzkrise
      Peking (Reuters) - Mitten im Handelsstreit mit den USA schwächelt die chinesische Konjunktur. Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP) legte von Juli bis September wegen der nachlassenden Dynamik in der Industrie nur noch um 6,5 Prozent zum Vorjahreszeitraum zu.


      Das ist das kleinste Plus seit dem Höhepunkt der weltweiten Finanzkrise Anfang 2009. Die Regierung in Peking sieht ihr Wachstumsziel für das laufende Jahr aber nicht in Gefahr. Experten erwarten allerdings, dass sie 2019 im Zusammenspiel mit der Zentralbank zu Konjunkturhilfen greifen wird, da dann erst die US-Strafzölle ihre volle Wirkung entfalten dürften.

      “Von außen kommen Unsicherheiten für unsere Bemühungen, das Wachstum zu stabilisieren”, sagte ein Sprecher des Statistikamtes am Freitag unter Anspielung auf den von US-Präsident Donald Trump entfachten Handelskonflikt. Die beiden größten Wirtschaftsmächte der Welt überziehen sich seit Monaten mit Strafzöllen. “Wir sind aber in der Lage, das Ziel von etwa 6,5 Prozent Wachstum im Gesamtjahr zu erreichen”, ergänzte der Sprecher. In den ersten drei Quartalen lag das Plus mit 6,7 Prozent über der Zielmarke. Auch für 2019 zeigte sich die Regierung zuversichtlich.

      China trade data beats forecasts, as suppliers rush to beat tariffs
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/china-trade-data-beats-forec…

      "Chinese exports grew by a better-than-expected 15.6 percent year-on-year in October, according to official data, as buyers frontload shipments ahead of possible further action by the US.

      Contrary to expectations that Washington’s latest $200 billion tariff round would suppress demand for Chinese goods, export growth actually accelerated from the 12.2 percent y/y average posted during the first nine months of the year, the Financial Times reports.

      Imports also picked up to 21.4 percent y/y in October from 20 percent for the January-September period.

      Notably, exports to the US grew 13.2 percent from a year earlier, whereas imports fell 1.8 percent, lifting China’s bilateral trade surplus to $32 billion last month from $25 billion for the first three quarters.

      In addition to a rush a of demand by American importers in anticipation of more tariffs on the way, a humming US economy and slipping renminbi appear to be diluting any intended impact of the trade war."

      US accuses China, of breaking Obama-era cybertheft agreement
      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/us-accuses-china-of-breaking…

      "A senior US intelligence official has claimed the Chinese government has breached the terms of a deal signed three years ago banning the practice of hacking for economic espionage, the Wall Street Journal reports.

      The 2015 agreement initially had the desired effects for US companies suffering from repeated Chinese cybertheft, but Beijing has shown less commitment in the recent past, said senior National Security Agency adviser Rob Joyce.

      “It is clear they are well beyond the bounds of the agreement today that was forged between our two countries,” Joyce said at the Aspen Cyber summit.

      Cyber attacks and intellectual property theft in the private sector have taken centre-stage in ongoing disputes between the US and China. Last month officials charged a group of ten Chinese spies for conducting a series of hacking campaigns to steal aviation industry secrets to give to domestic companies."

      Beijing's economic 'red lines' may clash with Trump's 90-day plan, analysts say -U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping may have put their tit-for-tat tariff fight on hold, but differences between the two countries' views on technology and state-supported businesses will challenge negotiations between the two economic giants, analysts said. ""Staunchly committed to the Chinese economic model, Xi will continue to lend state support to targeted industries, particularly in technology under the Made in China 2025 programme,"" Eleanor Olcott, China policy analyst at research firm TS Lombard, wrote on Monday. Washington has accused China of forcing technology transfers, and tacitly supporting intellectual property violations and cyber-crime, but those issues were down


      Trump Shows Willingness for Tariffs Amid Optimism on China Talks - President Trump expressed optimism Tuesday that China would hold to commitments made in Argentina last week, but indicated he was willing to pivot and continue a campaign of tariffs if China doesn’t move to end the trade dispute. “The negotiations with China have already started,” Mr. Trump said on Twitter on Tuesday. “Unless extended, they will end 90 days from the date of our wonderful and very warm dinner with [Chinese] President Xi in Argentina.” On Saturday, the two presidents and their negotiators worked toward a settlement of a trade dispute that has resulted in retaliatory tariffs and other geopolitical measures. At the meeting, Mr. Trump agreed to suspend a planned Jan. 1 increase in tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods to 25%, from 10%, as the two sides negotiate over Chinese economic policies, reports WSJ;

      Bolton slams China’s “predatory practices” in Africa





      https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/13/politics/bolton-trump-afr…
      "US national security adviser John Bolton railed against what he called “predatory practices” by China and Russia in Africa, which pose a threat to the established but neglected American presence on the continent, the Wall Street Journal reports.

      “China uses bribes, opaque agreements and the strategic use of debt to hold states in Africa captive to Beijing’s wishes and demands,” said Bolton. “We are already seeing the disturbing effects of China’s quest to obtain more political, economic and military power.”

      Bolton also said that the Trump administration would rescind from aid relationships with corrupt governments and look more closely at UN peacekeeping missions in regions such as the Congo that have so far failed to contain violence.

      “Unfortunately, billions and billions of US taxpayer dollars have not achieved the desired effects,” he said, citing $8.7 billion spent last year on African development, security and food provision.

      Successive US presidents have been criticised for not paying enough attention to Africa, allowing China to present itself as a provider of low-cost, no-strings-attached investment.

      “The Trump administration’s new Africa Strategy reflects a more accurate understanding of the fast-changing dynamics within Africa,” said Landry Signe of the Brookings Institution, “but the strategy doesn’t seem sufficient to effectively address the United States’ threatened economic, security, and influence interests.” "

      "Foreign investment in China falls, sharply, as trade war begins to bite



      China saw markedly less investment from overseas last month as trade tensions with the US reached a peak, denting business confidence, the South China Morning Post reports.

      Foreign direct investment (FDI) in November dropped 27.6% compared with a year earlier, according to the Ministry of Commerce, down to $13.6 billion. The slump brings total FDI for the year so far to $115.3 billion, a 1.2% annual decline.

      FDI was already sliding in the two months before November. In October, FDI growth was at a four-month low of 7.3% y/y. The plummet in November came before the G20 summit in Argentina, where Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump agreed to a 90-day trade war ceasefire.

      Analysts say that the figures reveal the deeper economic damage the trade war was having on China. “The influence has spread to the micro level, hurting the confidence and expectations of entrepreneurs,” said Zhao Jian, head of the Atlantis Finance Research Institute.

      Beijing deflected concerns regarding the data, however, saying that the decline was due to a high base last year."

      "China's Xi pledges 'unswerving' reforms, but on own terms - Chinese President Xi Jinping called on Tuesday for the unswerving implementation of reforms on Beijing's terms, saying no one could boss it around, but offered no new measures in a speech marking 40 years of market liberalization. In remarks lasting nearly an hour-and-a-half, Xi called for support for the state economy and development of the private sector, and said China would expand efforts at opening up and ensure the implementation of major reforms. China's substantial support of its sprawling state sector is a point of contention with the United States. Xi was speaking amid mounting pressure to accelerate reforms and improve market access for foreign companies as a trade war with the United States weighs on the economy. But he said China had to make its own decisions."

      "Government watchdogs hope to improve the legal framework of China’s capital markets and reduce state intervention in 2019, according to early reports from the annual Central Economic Work Conference.

      One official source told Bloomberg that attendees reached a consensus on the reforms and stressed a greater role of the Financial Stability and Development Committee (FSDC).

      China has been testing different means of attracting foreign investors to its onshore markets, which have had a woeful 12 months. A better legal framework, closer in line with international standards, and less government meddling would give confidence to those investing from overseas.

      China’s central bank also issued a statement on Thursday at a different meeting held by state regulators, suggesting a heightened urgency to push through reform.

      “Central authorities have made clear that China must build a market-oriented, rules-based capital market, and that financial departments must speed up their work,” said a statement from the meeting. “Reform will focus on improving the quality of listed firms, strengthening their governance and making the delisting process more strict.” "

      Top Treasury official on international affairs David Malpass said at a congressional hearing that China has made “substantial inroads” into the multilateral development banks (MDBs) that are shifting decisions in favour of its geopolitical ambitions.

      Malpass referenced Chinese funding of a World Bank report due next year that would “help promote and shape” Beijing’s massive foreign development project – the Belt and Road Initiative.

      Another Treasury spokesperson said that MDBs ought to be “judicious in choosing national initiatives with commercial and strategic underpinnings” and be wary of China’s investment practices."

      "More local governments are lifting previously-installed property cooling measures, Caixin reports, adding weight to claims that the slowing economy is prompting Beijing to take more serious action.

      Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, lifted one key measure introduced in March 2017 banning property developers from selling new apartments built on commercial land to individuals, who make up the bulk of new buyers. The rule no longer applies to developers who bought the land before March 30 of last year.

      The measure had a sizeable impact on the city’s heated property market. Since it took effect, the supply of unsold new apartments built on commercial land jumped to 28,000 units from 16,000, according to property research company CRIC.

      Earlier this week Heze became the first Chinese city to quietly undo restrictive policies on its housing market. New homeowners no longer have to wait three years before reselling – a practice that previously raised fears of speculation."

      "Economic growth in the world’s second-largest economy is poised to slow to 6.2% next year from 6.5% at the end of this year, according to a report by the World Bank, as the drag from China’s economic concerns becomes clearer in coming quarters.

      “Looking ahead, China’s key policy challenge is to manage trade-related headwinds while maintaining efforts to limit financial risks,” the bank said.

      The report highlighted consumption as the key driver of China’s economy next year, and said that weaker credit growth, slower investment and flagging global demand will be among the most major headwinds facing Beijing.

      “To stimulate the economy, fiscal policy could focus on boosting household consumption rather than public infrastructure,” the bank wrote. The government could also further cut business taxes, the report read, as officials have already suggested are in store for next year."

They are also banned from publishing stories that could move stock, fund, futures and foreign exchange markets.

      The government is concerned about companies offering financial analysis, financial trading and financial decision-making, the CAC said. Those which breach the regulations will be “condemned publicly” and “ordered to rectify” their misbehaviour, according to the statement.

      "The full text of the government’s recently drafted foreign investment law says that China will ensure equal treatment of foreign firms operating in its borders and protection of their intellectual property, as policymakers seek to appease Western grievances.

      The law will ban mandatory technology transfers from foreign companies and prohibits government intervention in the day-to-day running of foreign-owned companies, reports the SCMP.



      Under the new framework, overseas-listed firms will be able to raise funds by issuing stocks and bonds, and will be not face capital constraints sending income abroad.

      The draft also reserves to China the right to take responsive measures if Chinese firms face discriminatory treatment overseas, and will apply increased scrutiny to any foreign investment with national security implications.

      The new law is under public review until February 24, before which the US and China are set to meet in Beijing for another round of trade talks."

      "Earnings data at Chinese industrial companies showed that profits were lower in November than a year previous – the first fall since late 2015 as firms brace for a prolonged economic slowdown.

      Industrial profits declined 1.8% year-on-year last month, snapping back from 3.6% growth in October. According to the Financial Times, investment bank Goldman Sachs estimate that the fall was even sharper when seasonally adjusted, from 7.2% in October.

      Weakening demand, both within China and globally, is pushing businesses to hold back on investment, say analysts.



      The gloomy figures are also likely to have been affected by China’s relatively low inflation as a result of slowing credit growth, softening nominal profit growth for industrial firms."

Trump said in a tweet that negotiations were “moving along very well” toward a comprehensive deal, while Chinese state media said Xi believed both sides wanted “stable progress.” The call -- coming just three days before the 40th anniversary of the U.S.’s establishment of formal ties with China -- underscored the stakes for talks. Trump’s efforts to challenge Beijing on trade over the past year have dredged up a wide range of grievances and fueled concerns that the relationship is heading into a prolonged period of confrontation, reports Bloomberg; "

      "Smart-Uniform: Chinesische Schulen überwachen Schüler per Uniform; in einigen chinesischen Schulen müssen die Schülerinnen und Schüler vernetzte Uniformen tragen. Das soll sie vor Gefahren schützen – dient aber vor allem der Überwachung.

      An fast allen chinesischen Schulen gehören Schuluniformen zum Alltag. In mehr als zehn Einrichtungen im Süden des Landes werde dies mittlerweile zur Überwachung der Schülerinnen und Schüler genutzt, berichtete die chinesische Zeitung Global Times. Dafür seien die Uniformen digital mit den Kontrollinstrumenten der Schulen vernetzt.

      Dem Bericht zufolge funktioniert dies über zwei eingenähte Chips. Diese erfassen permanent den genauen Standort eines Schülers – und wissen somit auch, wann die Person die Schule betritt oder verlässt. Diese Daten würden automatisch an die Eltern und Lehrer gesendet, sagte Schulleiter Lin Zongwu, an dessen Schule die Uniformen zum Einsatz kommen. Und blieben die Schülerinnen dem Unterricht fern, werde automatisch ein Alarmsignal ausgelöst.

      Um einen Missbrauch durch die Schülerinnen und Schüler zu verhindern, sind die Uniformen der Global Times zufolge außerdem mit den Überwachungskameras der Schule gekoppelt. Jede Uniform sei mit dem Gesicht des Besitzers verknüpft und erkenne sofort, wenn Schüler untereinander die Jacken tauschten. Auch in diesem Falle gebe es ein Alarmsignal.

      Kritiker bemängeln die permanente Überwachung der Schüler – auch außerhalb der Schulzeiten. Doch Schulleiter Lin weist die Vorwürfe zurück. Nach dem Unterricht werde der Aufenthaltsort der Schülerinnen nicht mehr verfolgt, sagte er. "Aber wenn eine Person fehlt oder den Unterricht schwänzt, kann sie über die Uniform gefunden werden." Seit 2016 nutze seine Schule bereits die intelligenten Uniformen – seitdem habe sich die Anwesenheitsquote der Schüler bereits deutlich verbessert. "

      Künstlicher Mond soll über China leuchten

      Chengdu im Licht des richtigen Mondes.

      Anzeige

      Die Idee klingt einleuchtend: Nachts scheint nur der Mond kostenlos. Warum also nicht einen eigenen Mond erschaffen und als Lichtquelle nutzen? Genau das will die chinesische Millionenmetropole Chengdu machen. Ab 2020 soll ein Satellit einen künstlichen Mond simulieren und die Stadt im Südwesten Chinas nachts beleuchten.

      Der künstliche Mond soll achtmal heller sein als der echte, was ausreichen würde, um die Straßenbeleuchtung der gesamten Stadt zu ersetzen, sagte Wu Chunfeng, Vorsitzender des Chengdu Aerospace Science and Technology Microelectronics System Research Institute, der Zeitung „China Daily“. Man habe vor Jahren mit Tests begonnen, und nun sei die Technik ausgereift, erklärte Wu.
      Fake Moon gegen 170 Millionen Dollar Stromkosten

      Der Mond-Satellit könne ein Gebiet von bis zu 80 Kilometern Durchmesser erhellen. Chengdu würde damit rund 170 Millionen Dollar Stromkosten im Jahr sparen. Über die Abmessungen des „Fake Moon“ machte Wu keine Angaben. Sollte alles nach Plan laufen, würde man bis 2022 drei weitere Mond-Satelliten ins All schießen.

      „Ein idealer Spiegel, also absolut flach und mit einem Reflexionsvermögen von 100 Prozent, könnte in der Tat die Nacht zum Tag machen“, sagt Farid Gamgami vom deutschen Satellitenhersteller OHB System. „Aber es gibt etliche Probleme, angefangen bei der Größe des Reflektors.“ Der Raumfahrtingenieur überschlägt, dass man für eine Metropole wie New York City mit einer Fläche von 783 Quadratkilometern eine Reflexionsfläche von mindestens 31 Kilometern Durchmesser benötige. In Chengdu wäre die Fläche sogar über 5000 Quadratkilometer groß, wenn man die 80 Kilometer Durchmesser zugrunde legt.
      5000 Quadratkilometer Spiegelfläche benötigt

      „Eine solch gigantische Konstruktion wurde im Orbit noch nicht ausgesetzt“, sagt Gamgami. „Die damit verbunde-nen Technologien wie entfaltbare Strukturen oder die Lageregelung solch gigantischer flexibler Flächen befinden sich noch in den Kinderschuhen.“ Zum Vergleich: Die japanische Raumfahrtagentur Jaxa erprobte 2010 erstmals ein Sonnensegel, dessen Fläche damals als riesig galt. Sie betrug 194 Quadratmeter.

      Roger Förstner, Institutsleiter für Raumfahrttechnik der Bundeswehr-Universität München, sieht vor allem im Austarieren des „Fake Moon“ ein Problem. „Wenn es kein geostationärer Punkt über dem Äquator ist, bedarf das Zusammenspiel und die Anordnung von Satellit, Sonne und Stadt einer sehr komplizierten und zudem kontinuierlichen Nachjustierung.“

      Um zur Beleuchtung zu dienen, müsste der künstliche Mond zudem ein gleißend helles Licht zur Erde werfen. In dem Fall befürchtet Astrid Orr von der European Space Agency ESTEC negative Auswirkungen auf nachtaktive Tiere und Menschen. „Viele klagen schon jetzt über die steigende Lichtverschmutzung in den Städten“, sagt Orr.

      Bislang ist nicht bekannt, ob die chinesische Regierung das Vorhaben genehmigt. Neben den technischen Schwierigkeiten gibt es für das Projekt aber auch ein ganz profanes Problem: Wolken, die den Himmel verdecken.

      "The manufacturing sector continued to weaken as 2018 came to a close, according to a key monthly gauge, with indicators such as output and new orders signaling that China’s economic slowdown will likely extend well into the new year.

      The official Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) dropped 0.6 points to 49.4 in December, beneath the 50 level that demarcates expansion from contraction. This was the lowest reading since the start of 2016, and fell short of the market expectation of 49.9.

      The sector was already on a months-long run of slowing growth. In November, industrial output grew by the smallest margin in nearly three years. The total output sub-gauge last month slipped further to 50.8 from 51.9.

      New orders – considered a good gauge of the sector’s future health – dipped to 49.7 amid a general lull in global demand.

      The unofficial Caixin PMI, which tends to focus more on smaller- and medium-sized businesses, also weakened in December to 49.7 from 50.2, reflecting a “deterioration in overall operating conditions”, according to the release.

      The non-manufacturing PMI was more upbeat, rising to 53.8 from 53.4. This may indicate that services, which account for over half of the Chinese economy, are already feeling the benefit of government stimulus measures aimed at boosting the private sector."

      "China hopes that it can work alongside the US to put into action the “important consensus” reached at the G20 summit in November, President Xi Jinping told his US counterpart this weekend, suggesting greater efforts to make progress in thawing trade tensions.

      In a call to celebrate 40 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Xi told Trump that he “hopes that the two teams will meet each other half way, work hard, and strive to reach an agreement that is mutually beneficial and beneficial to the world as soon as possible,” according to China’s foreign ministry.

      Trump also praised the direction of talks with Beijing, writing on Twitter that “the deal is moving along very well. If made, it will be very comprehensive, covering all subjects, areas and points of dispute. Big progress being made.”

      The two sides agreed to a 90-day truce period during which no further tariffs will be levied on each other’s imports. The US has maintained that it intends to go through with plans to raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods to 25% once the window closes on March 1."

In his annual New Year’s Eve address, Xi stressed China’s capacity to weather the storm, citing a series of industrial and technological achievements in 2018. He said the government would keep growth from slowing too quickly and follow through on a tax cut as part of an effort “to ease the burden on enterprises.”, reports Bloomberg; "

      "China’s top legislature has agreed to let local governments use up part of their annual bond quotas ahead of the usual schedule, in another bid to aid funding for important state-run projects.

      The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) signed a bill allowing local governments to issue Rmb 1.39 trillion ($209 billion) in bonds before the general meeting in March where quotas are usually approved, according to Caixin. This concession may be re-implemented each year through 2022.

      By waiting until the March session to begin issuances, local governments usually hand out the majority of their bond quotas in the second half of the year. Beijing, meanwhile, is keen to accelerate the process amid a slowdown driven partly by weaker credit growth.

      Many local governments are facing challenges in raising new funds for infrastructure projects which make up a key component of domestic activity. Authorities are handling piles of debt while some major revenue streams, such as land sales, are being impacted by the slowdown. "

      "The pace of reform will not slow and the country will continue to open its markets, said President Xi Jinping in his annual New Year message, as the Chinese economy faces a mountain of headwinds in coming months.


      The President’s speech, broadcast throughout China on all major state media platforms, hailed the government’s progress in 2018, including pushing through 100 significant reform measures.

      “The world has seen a China whose reforms and opening up have gathered speed…” said Xi. “Our pace of reforms will not stagnate, and the door to opening up will widen further.”

      Xi has persistently voiced his backing for further reform and increased market access for foreign business, particularly as the Communist Party celebrates the 40th anniversary of economic reforms under Deng Xiaoping. Many overseas entities remain frustrated, however, with what they perceive to be a lack of concrete progress in these areas."

      China looks to private capital, open source technology for global tech game advantage3 min read
      Dec 20, 2018
      |In On the Cusp, With Chinese Characteristics
      |By Runhua Zhao
      https://technode.com/2018/12/20/china-global-tech-game-advan…



      "China is racing against time to establish its own technological intellectual property, particularly in the semiconductor industry. The moves come amid growing pressure on Chinese tech companies overseas, underscored by the recent arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and punitive measures by the US on Huawei rival ZTE.

      This time around, China appears to be taking a more discreet approach, pursuing more low-profile strategies rather than eye-popping, state-led partnership initiatives such as the National Integrated Circuit (IC) Industry Investment Fund, which was set up in 2014 and raised RMB 138.7 billion ($20.1 billion) in its initial phase.

      “Sino-US tensions are pushing China into a corner,” the head of an integrated circuit trading company told TechNode, requesting anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic. As a result, he said, there’s been a shift in policies at both national and local levels where greater emphasis is being placed on investing in the semiconductor industry. “We are seeing increasing integration of government budget and private money in good projects,” he added.

      “China will increase support to the semiconductor industry, while target projects and allocation of capital will see more subtle shifts,” said Kyna Wong, head of Credit Suisse’s China Technology team.

      Wong pointed to the recently announced Shanghai-based tech board plan as a sign of new efforts to bring in individual investors and developing companies into the world of tech investment.

      For semiconductor and other projects requiring long-term capital injection in research and investment, and fixed assets such as factories and labs, a stock exchange allowing flexible capital exit could benefit private investment.

      In contrast to listed A-share stocks which should report earnings before IPO filling, the registration-based tech board will have no profit requirement for IPO candidates. This is likely to encourage R&D driven projects characterized by high investment risks but also high returns.

      Meanwhile, the Chinese government is extending material support to early stage semiconductor projects developed by students and educational institutions.

      Earlier this month, for example, during the final of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics’ global innovation competition, the top prize for early stage projects was awarded to a project that focuses on chip security, while the prize for the growth-stage projects was given to a team that is developing non-civil communication chips. Both winners will be given access to an undisclosed amount of private capital.

      Chinese semiconductor companies also are aggressively investing in open source projects. One example is instruction set architecture (ISA) RISC-V. ISA works between hardware and software, and defines how a computer is programmed.

      In April, Ni Guangnan, a member at the Chinese Academy of Engineering Science, said that Chinese companies should pour the whole country’s resources into chip-making. He drew parallels to the mission of those who dedicated their lives to develop significant national projects such as developing China’s own nuclear weapons.

      In November, during China’s Wuzhen Internet Conference, Ni was assigned as the general director of China’s own RISC-V alliance. At another technology forum held in the same month in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, Ni mentioned that Intel and ISA ARM are dominating the core chip-making technology. “If we could work together on RISC-V, under the current situation, we can be the third major power,” Ni was cited in Chinese media as saying.

      “The government is very interested in the technology,” Fang Zhixi, former global vice president at Intel and now the chairman of RISC-V Foundation’s consultancy committee in China, told TechNode prior to the Wuzhen Internet Conference. “I have been getting in touch with high government bodies including the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). We see no problem organizing talks or having both Chinese and international researchers and universities working together.”

      Fang explained that the Chinese government’s interest in RISC-V is due to an open-source technology’s “natural advantages.” Tech companies may build their own applications on the “open and free” fundamental tech standards, and produce commercial projects with no extra-legal pressure such as patent disputes imposed by external parties.

      “Open-source [solutions and communities], in fact, can be a way to avoid tensions in the tech sector,” Fang added.

      Rick O’Connor, executive director at RISC-V Foundation, the official non-profit organization of ISA RISC-V, told TechNode in the same interview as Fang’s that IoT and AI, two major Chinese national strategic industries, were also eagerly looking for open source solutions.

      Nevertheless, Wong believes China still has a long way to go.

      “From the perspective of policy, support to open source technologies can be easily done. However, one concern is communication across standards. China still has to tackle challenges when racing with players leading mainstream tech games in many fields.”

      Wong believes China’s intention is to establish its own intellectual properties in mainstream tech games. If it were not for the purpose, China could always pay for US patents’ use right and projects built on open source platforms, as the US tech entrepreneurial ecosystem is highly commercial.

      “[Therefore] open source is not always enough, though it will produce positive outcomes,” Wong added."

      "Xi Jinping droht Taiwan mit gewaltsamer "Wiedervereinigung"
      Aktualisiert am 02. Januar 2019, 10:00 Uhr

      Der Ton zwischen China und Taiwan verschärft sich: Chinas Staatschef Xi Jinping will eine "Wiedervereinigung" mit dem demokratischen Taiwan notfalls auch mit Gewalt erzwingen.

      Mehr aktuelle News finden Sie hier

      Chinas Präsident Xi Jinping will die "Wiedervereinigung" mit dem demokratischen Taiwan notfalls auch mit Gewalt erzwingen. China müsse und werde auch wiedervereinigt werden, sagte Xi am Mittwoch laut der amtlichen Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua in einer Rede in der Großen Halle des Volkes in Peking.

      Letztlich werde die Wiedervereinigung Taiwans mit dem Festland erfolgen, sagte Xi. Diese sei im Interesse und zum Wohle der "taiwanischen Landsleute". Ein unabhängiges Taiwan widerspreche dem Trend der Geschichte und werde in eine Sackgasse führen.

      "Geben kein Versprechen ab, auf Gewalt zu verzichten"




      China wolle eine friedliche Wiedervereinigung erreichen, lasse aber "keinen Raum für separatistische Aktivitäten", sagte Xi weiter. "Wir geben kein Versprechen ab, auf die Anwendung von Gewalt zu verzichten, und behalten uns die Möglichkeit vor, alle erforderlichen Mittel zu ergreifen", fügte er hinzu.

      Anlass der Rede Xis war die Erinnerung an eine Botschaft aus dem Jahr 1979 an Taipeh, in der die kommunistische Führung in Peking Taiwan zur Wiedervereinigung und zu einem Ende der militärischen Konfrontation aufforderte.

      Der Streit um den Status Taiwans geht auf den Bürgerkrieg in China zurück, als die Truppen der nationalchinesischen Kuomintang nach ihrer Niederlage gegen Maos Kommunisten nach Taiwan flüchteten. Seit Gründung der Volksrepublik 1949 betrachtet Peking die Inselrepublik, die selbst demokratische Wahlen abhält, als abtrünnigen Landesteil und droht mit einer Rückeroberung.

      Peking betreibt Isolierung Taiwans

      Peking betrieb zuletzt verstärkt die internationale Isolierung Taiwans. Von zwei Dutzend meist kleineren Staaten, die Taiwan diplomatisch anerkannt hatten, konnte Peking fünf weitere auf seine Seite ziehen.

      In ihrer Neujahrsansprache am Dienstag sagte Taiwans Präsidentin Tsai Ing-Wen, dass ihr Land nicht bereit sei, "unsere Souveränität aufzugeben oder Zugeständnisse hinsichtlich der Autonomie zu machen". (mgb/dpa/afp)"

      Central bank offers benefits, for banks lending to small businesses
      www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-central-bank-revises-rules-to-en…

      "The People’s Bank of China has lowered the credit levels required for a business to be considered as small or micro, and will cut the reserve requirements of banks extending credit to these companies, the Wall Street Journal reports.

      The threshold has been raised to Rmb 10 million ($1.5 million) from Rmb 5 million, capturing more Chinese firms within the bracket of small enterprise.

      As of 2017, Chinese banks directing up to 1.5% of annual new loans to small and micro companies can reduce their reserve-requirement ratios by 0.5% from the benchmark rate, which was itself cut four times last year.

      Beijing has pushed forward support for the private sector and smaller businesses which have been among the worst hit by slowing credit growth and a weaker economy.

      “This will help expand the coverage of preferential policies for inclusive financing for small enterprises and will also allow financial institutions to meet the lending needs of these enterprises,” the central bank said in a statement on its website."

      "The majority of exporters have already made efforts to shift at least some production operations out of China as threats from the US-China trade war impact their businesses, according to a survey by UBS.


      Around 37% of the 200 export manufacturers polled said that they have transferred production in the past year, while another 33% plan to do so in the coming six to 12 months, Caixin reports.

      The companies planning a move said that they will shift at least 30% of their production capacity overseas, largely to countries like the US, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan. Southeast Asia was a less popular destination, the survey showed.

      “Although higher tariffs are on hold and business sentiment may have improved following the Xi-Trump G20 meeting, we expect trade war related uncertainties to linger and hurt manufacturing capital expenditure in 2019,” UBS analysts wrote in the report."

      "China announces $29 billion annual tax cut, for small companies - China will reduce the tax burden for small and micro-sized companies by 200 billion yuan ($29 billion) per year for the next three years, the latest government move to aid smaller corporates that are struggling as the economy slows. The decision to cut corporate-income tax, value-added tax and other corporate taxes was announced on CCTV after a state council meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday. It came right after the central bank said its new program to encourage banks to lend to small and private companies would begin later this month. Headwinds for the world’s second-largest economy are rising as investment at home slows, profits shrink, consumers tighten their wallets and an external outlook is clouded by the trade war. Policy makers have rolled out an array of measures to boost the economy, including another cut last week by the central bank to the amount of money lenders must hold as reserves."

      "China central bank says to step up policy support for economy - China's central bank will ratchet up support for the economy by improving its policy transmission mechanism, governor Yi Gang said in remarks published on Wednesday. Policymakers have pledged to step up support this year, following a raft of measures in 2018 including fast tracking infrastructure projects and cuts in banks' reserve requirements and taxes, amid a trade dispute with the United States. Data later this month is expected to show China growth slowed to around 6.6 percent in 2018 from 6.9 percent the previous year. Analysts are forecasting a further loss of momentum in coming months before policy support measures begin to kick in. "The financial support for the real economy has not weakened as economic growth slows. Instead, the support has increased to reflect counter-cyclical adjustments," the official Xinhua news agency quoted Yi as saying. The People's Bank of China said on Friday it was cutting the amount of cash that banks have to hold as reserves for the fifth time in a year, freeing up $116 billion for new lending as it tries to reduce the risk of a sharp economic slowdown. The first targeted medium-term lending facility (TMLF) operation will come into operation this month, Yi said."

      "China says will reduce foreign investment curbs, 2018 FDI rises 3 percent: commerce minister - China will reduce restrictions on foreign investment and address difficulties facing foreign companies investing in the country, the commerce minister said, according to a transcript of an interview he gave to state media. Commerce Minister Zhong Shan said China would allow full foreign ownership of companies in more areas of the economy and would reduce the number of industries in which foreign investment was restricted or barred, according to the transcript posted on the Ministry of Commerce's website on Sunday. The comments appeared to be largely reiterations of past pledges by Chinese officials for further market opening. Foreign direct investment (FDI) into China rose by 3 percent year-on-year to $135 billion in 2018, Zhong said. That would mark a slowdown from growth rates of 7.9 percent in 2017 and 4.1 percent in 2016. But Zhong said China had maintained stable FDI growth "against a gloomy global climate," noting that total FDI around the world had slumped by 41 percent in the first half of last year. China has been pushing to broaden opportunities for private firms and foreign investors to stimulate an economy that is slowing on the back of weakening domestic demand and a trade war with the United States. Zhong said "properly handling" trade frictions with the United States was a major task for the ministry in 2019."

      "China's premier says tax cuts support employment, economic stability - China's plans for tax cuts targeting smaller companies will help to support employment and economic stability, and will expand the country's tax base over the long term, Premier Li Keqiang was quoted as saying on Saturday. "Implementing tax cuts for small and micro enterprises is mainly to support employment," Li said in comments posted on the Chinese government's website. Developing and strengthening small companies is linked to economic stability and stable employment, he said. "Looking at the long term, this will continue to expand the tax base, conserve tax resources and ultimately achieve wins for mass employment, corporate profits and fiscal revenues," he was quoted as saying, referring to the corporate tax cuts. Li's comments come amid growing official concern over China's slowing economic growth and its impact on the labor market. Chinese authorities plan to set a lower economic growth target of 6 to 6.5 percent in 2019, compared with "around" 6.5 percent in 2018, sources told Reuters, as weakening domestic demand and a damaging trade war with the United States drag on business activity and consumer confidence."

      "Business activity at small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China fell again during the final quarter of 2018, as Beijing struggles to revive a key sector of the economy, Caixin reports.

      The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Index (SMEDI), an industry survey released by the Chinese government in partnership with the country’s official SME association, produced a score of 93.0 for the last three months of 2018, indicating that SMEs are still finding times tough.

      This was the 30th consecutive quarter that the index came in below the benchmark score of 100. The score of 93.0 was level with the third quarter, indicating that the sector has stabilized following two previous quarters of accelerating contraction.

      However, Beijing would have been hoping for a better result after a landmark speech by President Xi Jinping in support of private enterprise and a slew of government policies designed to channel funding to SMEs and improve the policy environment for the private sector."

      US and China “miles and miles” from trade deal, says Wilbur Ross

      www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190125_07/


      "US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross expressed doubts over the US and China reaching a resolution before the truce period ends on March 1, saying the two sides were “miles” from striking a deal.



      “Frankly, that shouldn’t be too surprising,” Ross said in an interview with CNBC. There are still “lots and lots of issues” to be resolved, he added, such as “structural reforms” and a system of “penalties” to be put in place before the dispute can be called off.

      “We would like to make a deal but it has to be a deal that will work for both parties,” Ross said. “We’re miles and miles from getting a resolution.”

      Ross also mentioned the need to cut back the US’s “intolerably big trade deficit” with China, which last year reached the twelve-year high of $323.3 billion.

      “The other problem is the future. That’s the 2025 plan that they have to try to dominate world high tech industries. We have to protect that,” said Ross."

      WTO to investigate US tariffs on China
      www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-27/trump-s-china-tar…


      "The World Trade Organisation looks likely to open a probe into the legitimacy of recent US tariffs on Chinese imports, threatening to intensify trade tensions between the two countries.

      China has lodged two official complaints to the WTO since the Trump administration came into power in 2017, as have dozens of countries around the world. The appeal set to be investigated claims that duties on $250 billion of Chinese goods violates the WTO principal of equal treatment to all member states.

      “This WTO case is especially significant because it deals with the central international legal issue in the US conduct of its trade war with China — whether the U.S. can impose trade restrictions on China in response to alleged Chinese WTO violations without first seeking dispute settlement in the WTO,” James Bacchus, a former head of the WTO’s appellate body, told Bloomberg. “I believe these US tariffs are inconsistent with WTO obligations, but it will be left to my successors on the WTO appellate body to decide.”

      The first Chinese filing was vetoed by the US, who are currently blocking the appointment of a new judge for the WTO’s decision-making board. Washington has accused the WTO of extending past its remit, and is using the block to induce constitutional reforms."

      China joins talks for global e-commerce rules, @last minute




      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/china-joins-talks-for-global…

      "China joined 47 other states and the European Union on Friday to negotiate an international set of regulations to govern e-commerce trading under the World Trade Organisation, claiming to do so out of concern for the future of the organisation, Bloomberg reports.

      The talks aim to establish preliminary rules that will both regulate and facilitate online retail and trade, reviving plans proposed years ago for such a system.

      Prior to the launch of the negotiations on Friday, the Chinese delegation at Davos had reportedly sought to resist joining the group led by the EU and United States. However, China’s ambassador to the WTO, Zhang Xiangchen, said the change of heart was to oppose broader threats to international trade.

      “The multilateral trading system is in a deep crisis,” Zhang said. “Against this backdrop, the launching of e-commerce negotiation will in a significant way help reinvigorate the negotiating function of the WTO, and shore up confidence in the multilateral trading system and economic globalization.”

      US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer commented that Washington was seeking an “ambitious, high-standard agreement that is enforceable and has the same obligations for all participants.” "

      Beijing sparks outrage, after defining households earning $295 per month as “middle income”

      https://chinaeconomicreview.com/its-official-earning-295-per…


      "A report by China’s National Bureau of Statistics triggered outrage online after it classified anyone with a monthly salary above Rmb 2,000 ($295) as “middle income,” prompting clarification from the bureau, the South China Morning Post reports.

      According to the report, which investigated how different income groups spent their time, Chinese citizens earning less than Rmb 2,000 were deemed “low income,” while those earning between Rmb 2,000 and 5,000 were described as “middle income.” Anyone taking home more than Rmb 5,000 was considered “relatively high” or “high income.”

      Tempers flared across Chinese social media, with many users outraged that the government seemed out of touch with today’s costs of living.

      “Are you kidding me? I make Rmb 3,000 and suddenly I’m middle class? I think I’m low-income,” wrote one user on Weibo.

      The statistics bureau issued a statement after the report’s poor reception, explaining that “the term ‘middle-income group’ mentioned in the survey results has nothing to do with income brackets in the general sense.” "

      HIV reports force investigation of Chinese pharma company

      http://chinaeconomicreview.com/hiv-reports-force-investigati…

      "China’s health authorities have opened an emergency investigation into reports that a batch of human blood plasma products sold contained traces of HIV, Caixin reports.

      The National Health Commission said that the report claimed state-backed Shanghai Xinxing Medicine Co. had produced and sold intravenous immunoglobulin which tested positive for HIV antibodies, indicating presence of the virus itself.



      The Commission also instructed medical institutions to immediately stop using and quarantine the products, and monitor patients who had been administered the drug as part of immunological treatment. Shanghai Xinxing has also been forced to halt production and recall all drugs.

      China has had its fair share of pharmaceutical industry scandals in recent years, eroding public trust in the quality of domestically-produced goods. The last high-profile case was in July when it was revealed that vaccine manufacturer Changchun Changsheng had sold up to 500,000 substandard doses for diseases such as diptheria and tetanus."
