Kinas ekonomi - världens näst största

“China was the second largest recipient of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worldwide last year, following the US. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development predicted last month that the nation was on course to repeat the feat this year.” - CRI

“For all the hype about Chinese millionaires buying Mercedes cars and Louis Vuitton handbags, a country with a GDP of £2,500 per head is still a very long way from having a consumer base that can take the strains currently being put upon it by the global economy.” - Daily Telegraph

Under andra kvartalet i år gick Kinas ekonomi om Japans för första gången. En våg av upphetsade kommentarer framkallades jorden runt av den betydelsefulla händelsen. Vissa frossade i symboliken, andra pekade på BNP:s obetydlighet i jämförelse med andra ekonomiska mått. Ytterligare andra föredrog att dröja sig kvar vid svagheterna som Kinas ekonomi uppvisar trots dess häpnadsväckande tillväxt.

China 'overtakes Japan in economic prowess' China Daily - 17 augusti 2010 China may overtake Japan as the world's second-largest economy this year, but it remains a developing economy despite its fast pace of growth, economists said. 29% FDI Surge Shows Confidence CRI - 18 augusti 2010 China surpassed Japan as the world's second largest economy in the second quarter as Japan's nominal gross domestic product from April to June reached $1.288 trillion, compared with China's $1.337 trillion. Economists believed China is "highly likely" to surpass Japan in terms of GDP this year. Chinese richer than Japanese if the poor left out Global Times - 19 augusti 2010 Wage differences are growing, with some sectors paying 15 times as much as others, and certain individuals, such as the executives of State-owned enterprises, receiving salaries 128 times higher than the social average. In daily life, though, there's no realistic way for most of the poor to make money, legally or illegally, and they face many obstacles in escaping the poverty trap. Lessons to learn from Japan's ups and downs Global Times - 1 mars 2010 While the ambition to outperform Western competitors is shared by many Chinese companies, it would be instructive for them to learn from Japan how it succeeded and stumbled on the overseas expansion route.	Chinese economy eclipses Japan’s Financial Times - 16 augusti 2010 Japan’s per capita GDP is still more than 10 times larger than China’s $3,600 (£2,300, €2,800). However, officials in Beijing maintain that China is still a relatively poor developing country. Peter Popham: Japan shows us the limits of growth The Independent - 16 augusti 2010 It's finally happened: China's economy has overtaken Japan's. Less than 20 years after Deng Xiaoping told his people that "to get rich is glorious", and three decades after the Chinese Communist Party began its first timid opening to the outside world, the Central Kingdom has surpassed its rival across the Sea of Japan. Where will China's long march end? Daily Telegraph - 18 augusti 2010 Of course, these are artificial benchmarks: if you take into account China’s “grey market”, its economy passed Japan’s some time back. But almost every day seems to provide more evidence of how far and how fast China’s rise is reshaping the world, to offer more reasons to believe that China’s emergence as a world power is inexorable and inevitable. China will oust US as world's largest economy FTAdviser - 19 augusti 2010 Although the US is still the world’s biggest economy, with 2009 GDP at £9.22trn, Paul Niven, head of asset allocation at F&C Investments, claimed it looked likely China would overtake the US by 2030.	China's economy as No. 2: How it's playing in Japan Christian Science Monitor - 17 augusti 2010 Some Japanese hope the news that China's economy has bumped Japan's as the world's second largest will serve as a wake-up call. Most Japanese knew this day was inevitable. Japan's GDP Growth Slows as Consumption, Exports Slacken Wall Street Journal - 16 augusti 2010 Japan's economic growth slowed sharply in the second quarter, coming in well short of expectations as stagnant consumption and flagging exports weighed on an economy already hobbled by deflation and a soaring yen. China Passes Japan as Second-Largest Economy New York Times - 15 augusti 2010 The milestone, though anticipated for some time, is the most striking evidence yet that China’s ascendance is for real and that the rest of the world will have to reckon with a new economic superpower. China's rise, Japan's reversal are reminders that predominance is not ordained Kansas City Star - 18 augusti 2010 In the 1980s, when pundits mulled the supposed economic threat from Japan, few would have dreamed that Japan’s sun would set so soon. In the 1990s, Japan wallowed. In the second quarter of this year it was surpassed by China as the world’s No. 2 economy.	China overshadows Japan economy as growth slows Sydney Morning Herald - 16 augusti 2010 In just three decades since opening its doors to foreign investment, China has leapfrogged Britain, France and Germany on its economic ascent and has won developing countries a bigger say in the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. China edges Japan as No. 2 economy Japan Times - 17 augusti 2010 The figures underscore China's emergence as an economic power that is changing everything from the global military and financial balance to how cars are designed. It is already the biggest exporter, auto buyer and steel producer, and its worldwide influence is growing. Can China Become the World's Biggest Economy? Chosun Ilbo - 17 augusti 2010 Another key factor is whether China will be able to maintain political stability and social cohesion. Over the last two years, China experienced major upheavals by minority ethnic groups in its western provinces, and a widening income gap and corruption among government officials are also stoking political instability. Japan's economy lags behind China Straits Times - 16 augusti 2010 The data pose a challenge for Prime Minister Naoto Kan's government, which must balance a fragile economy with an agenda focused on the need to cut the industrialised world's biggest public debt, at nearly 200 per cent of GDP.

Armén som fyller 83: Folkets befrielsearmé förnyar sig

"Chinese PLA would like to enhance cooperation with army forces of other countries to combat terrorism, international crimes, natural disasters and pirate attacks to safeguard peace and prosperity." CRI

"People generally don't like mysteries, I think. And if a nation is as secretive as China's military tends to be, I think that increases the mystery, gives rise to false rumours, of stories and simply is a destabilising factor, both for China's military as well as for other nations in the region, as well as for the United States," Dr Bernard Cole, Channel News Asia.

Det kinesiska Folkets befrielsearmé (PLA) firar sin 83-årsdag den 1 augusti. Med sina över två miljoner medlemmar har PLA vuxit till den största och kanske mest fruktade militära styrkan i världen. Men tiderna förändras och så även PLA:s image.

Kina motsätter sig IEA:s rapport

It is common sense that China, with its 1.3 billion people and rapidly developing economy, will see an increase in industrial and civil energy consumption as its industrialization expands and the people's living standard improves. - CRI

Even as China has set ambitious goals for itself in clean-energy production and reduction of global warming gases, the country’s surging demand for power from oil and coal led to the largest six-month increase in the tonnage of human generated greenhouse gases ever by a single country. - New York Times

IEA:s nyutkomna statistik rankade Kina som världens största energikonsument och lämnade således stormakten USA på andra plats. Det kinesiska energidepartementet (NEA) förklarade att energirådgivningsorganet IEA:s rapport inte var pålitlig, men att den dock kan användas som ”referensmaterial”, skrev the Global Times. En tidigare artikel i New York Times redogjorde för att Kinas ökande energibehov kan visa sig katastrofalt för klimatet. Denna premiss ligger också som grund för reaktionerna från USA:s sida.

Chinese Deny #1 Ranking in Energy Consumption 247wallst.com/ - 21 juli 2010 A major contributing factor to China’s expanding energy consumption is that the country did not experience the severe economic fallout from the global financial crisis as did the developed countries of the OECD.

'We're not No. 1 energy user' Straits Times - 21 juli 2010 CHINA on Tuesday rejected an assessment from the International Energy Agency that it had surpassed the United States to become the world's top energy consumer, calling the data 'unreliable'. China surpasses US as world's top energy consumer The Age - 20 juli 2010 China is now king of the world in energy consumption, surpassing the U.S. years ahead of forecasts in a milestone that left the Asian giant immediately rejecting its new crown. China denies energy use claims Aljazeera - 20 juli 2010 China has rejected claims that it has moved ahead of the United States as the world's biggest energy consumer.

FN:s utsaga beträffande Cheonan-incidenten bemöttes med motstridiga känslor

The UN Security Council on Friday adopted a presidential statement on the Cheonan issue, stressing the importance of maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia as a whole, and calling for the settlement of outstanding issues on the Korean Peninsula by peaceful means. - CRI

It's as if the attack was a Sherlock Holmes mystery about a murder without a body. Never mind that everyone in the world knows that the Cheonan was sunk by a North Korean torpedo, killing 46 sailors in one of the worst acts of aggression since the Korean War ended nearly 60 years ago. -Wall Street Journal

FN:s officiella ståndpunkt beträffande incidenten gällande det sydkoreanska stridsfartyget, Cheonan, som sjönk då den träffats av en torped i mars månad har bemötts med motstridiga känslor världen runt. Säkerhetsrådet fördömde attacken men förklarade att Nordkorea inte varit delaktig i incidenten som krävde livet 46 människor. Kina antas ha försvarat Nordkorea i säkerhetsrådet. Frågan kvarstår vare sig det varit frågan om att skydda en allierad eller om stödet erbjudits i strävan om att försäkra stabiliteten på halvön.

Colonel-level Meetings between U.S., DPRK to be held CRI - 12 juli 2010 The UN Security Council on Friday adopted a presidential statement on the Cheonan issue, stressing the importance of maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia as a whole, and calling for the settlement of outstanding issues on the Korean Peninsula by peaceful means. DPRK says to make efforts for peace, stability on Korean Peninsula People's Daily Online - 13 juli 2010 The DPRK will follow the spirit of "encouraging the North and South to solve the dispute of the peninsula with peaceful measure and resume direct talks" issued by the UNSC president, do its best to thoroughly investigate the truth of the Cheonan case, keep peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and achieve the denuclearization of the peninsula. Cheonan case: UN vague as usual China Daily - 14 juli 2010 In some sense, the ineffectiveness of the statement was expected. Each of the 15 members of the Security Council, especially the five permanent ones, has its own interest and claim, and conflicts of interests and even rivalry among the different parties are not rare.Besides, the Cheonan accident is more of a political issue than judicial question. And the international community has always lacked authoritative jurisdiction, making it difficult to resolve such issues. US-S.Korean maritime war games needlessly provocative Global Times - 14 juli 2010 China has expressed its condolences to the families of Korean victims in the Cheonan incident. But in executing justice, it is not enough to listen to only one side. When South Korea started the field investigation, it should have requested that all parties participated, rather than exclude China. The US and South Korea have leapt to conclusions too soon.	UN security council condemns sinking of South Korean warship The Guardian - 9 juli 2010 The draft statement "condemns the attack" and expresses "deep concern" over the investigation's findings that North Korea was to blame. It calls for "appropriate and peaceful measures to be taken against those responsible". But it does not identify who is responsible and "takes note" of North Korea's response "that it had nothing to do with the incident". North Korea delays talks over sinking of Cheonan warship The Telegraph - 13 juli 2010 Following the UN statement, which was watered down under pressure from Pyongyang's ally China, the North reiterated its conditional willingness to return to stalled international nuclear disarmament negotiations. N.Korea to hold talks with UN Command on sinking AFP - 14 juli 2010 In the wake of the UN statement, the North reiterated conditional willingness to return to stalled six-party nuclear disarmament negotiations. But it also threatened "strong physical retaliation" if South Korea and the United States persist in "demonstration of forces and sanctions. North Korea agrees to join nuclear talks The Scotsman - 15 juli 2010 NORTH Korea has said it is willing to return to international nuclear disarmament talks following the UN Security Council's decision to avoid directly blaming it for the sinking of a South Korean warship.	Security Council Blinks on Korea New York Times - 9 juli 2010 China, which has veto power on the Council, insisted on watering down the statement. The Obama administration could not change its mind. Beijing fears that a political collapse in North Korea would send millions of refugees streaming into China, and it has a long history of enabling Pyongyang. Even after the North exploded two nuclear devices, China continues to be its major supplier of aid, food and oil — and continues to shield it from the full effects of Security Council sanctions. China Stalls U.N. Efforts Against North Korea Wall Street Journal - 8 juli 2010 China is blocking a United Nations Security Council move to condemn North Korea for the sinking of a South Korean warship, say diplomats familiar with the negotiations, marking a rankling divide on the issue between the Washington and Beijing. US Professors Raise Doubts About Report on South Korean Ship Sinking Voice of America News - 9 juli 2010 Speaking in Tokyo Friday, the two said the investigation was riddled with inconsistencies and cast "profound doubt" on the integrity of the investigation. "The only conclusion one can draw on the basis of the evidence is that there was no outside explosion," Suh said. "The JIG completely failed to produce evidence that backs up its claims that there was an outside explosion." Sinking of ship provides welcome distraction for North Korea Los Angeles Times - 6 juli 2010 Whether or not Kim Jong Il personally ordered the torpedo attack that sank a South Korean warship, the ensuing atmosphere of crisis has given the ailing dictator an opportunity to distract a population that might otherwise be complaining that they're eating weeds instead of rice.	Thorough Probe into Truth behind "Cheonan" Case Called for Korean Central News Agency of DPRK - 14 juli 2010 The U.S., Japan and the south Korean puppet authorities groundlessly laid the blame for the case at the door of the DPRK without producing any scientific and objective evidence. It was quite natural that this wrong attitude could hardly convince the international community. Fabrications and plots would get them nowhere. The hectic diplomacy of those despicable tricksters to do harm to the DPRK ended in failure, bringing only shame and disgrace, in the final analysis. N.Korea open to nuke talks after escaping UN blame The Sydney Morning Herald - 10 juli 2010 The North, which denies US and South Korean claims that it torpedoed the ship with the loss of 46 lives, indicated it felt vindicated by the UN statement which was watered down under pressure from China, Pyongyang's ally. North Korea offers to resume talks Al Jazeera - 10 juli 2010 North Korea has said it is willing to return to the nuclear disarmament talks it abandoned 18 months ago, saying it will make "consistent efforts" for a peace treaty. U.S. Doubts N.Korea's Sincerity in Call for Nuclear Talks The Chosun Ilbo - 14 juli 2010 The U.S. leadership doubts whether North Korea is sincere in calls for the resumption of six-party nuclear talks, which came after the UN Security Council failed to pinpoint the North as the culprit behind the sinking of the South Korean Navy corvette Cheonan.

Ett år efter kravallerna i Xinjiang

Uygur dancing -- suspended after the riot -- has resumed at the Flaming Mountain Steamboat Restaurant, while in Apple's Father Restaurant, young Uygurs, Kazakhs and Han people dance to pop and Kazakh music. -CRI

Uighurs make up almost half of Xinjiang's population of 23 million. But many feel marginalised by recent Han migration, which they fear is destroying their way of life and increasing discrimination. - The Guardian

På måndag blev det ett år sedan den autonoma Xinjiang-regionen skakades av kravaller mellan hankineserna och den etniska minoritetsgruppen uigurerna. För att försäkra freden i området hade myndigheterna aktiverat överlopps säkerhetstrupper på sammanlagt 5000 man och installerat 40 000 nya övervakningskameror.

Kina	Europa	Nordamerika	Andra länder
Urumqi peaceful on riot anniversary People's Daily Online - 5 juli 2010 People chatted in bazaars, restaurants and other public venues. But the riot did not seem to be a popular topic. They preferred to talk about new opportunities. One Year on, Urumqi Shakes off Riot Shadow CRI - 4 juli 2010 Uygur dancing -- suspended after the riot -- has resumed at the Flaming Mountain Steamboat Restaurant, while in Apple's Father Restaurant, young Uygurs, Kazakhs and Han people dance to pop and Kazakh music. Language lessons help deepen ethnic ties in China's Xinjiang Xinhua - 5 juli 2010 China has 56 ethnic groups, including the Han. The Han language, Mandarin, is the official national language and the most widely used. But in Xinjiang, many people of ethnic minorities lack basic Mandarin skills due to inadequate education. The government-organized language classes are mainly aimed at teaching Han "grassroots-level officials" the language of the major local ethnic group, the Uygurs. Why there care about those separatists Global Times - 5 juli 2010 It is easy for the Western forces that support the separatists to pay lip service. Yet who really cares about Xinjiang? Not the US or the other foreign countries. Not the separatists living overseas. The people who care about Xinjiang are the Chinese people themselves, be they Uyghur, Han and of any other ethnic group.	Chinese security forces prepare for anniversary of Urumqi riots The Telegraph - 5 juli 2010 Uighurs have called for a full investigation into last year's violence, saying that they have been unfairly demonised by the Chinese media. Few Uighur voices have been heard since the riots, since the authorities blocked internet access, text messages and international phone calls in and out of the region. Some restrictions have only just been lifted. Security tight on China ethnic unrest anniversary AFP - 5 juli 2010 Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking people, allege decades of Chinese oppression and unwanted Han immigration, and while standards of living in Xinjiang have improved, Uighurs complain most of the gains go to the Han Chinese. China tries to lift Uighur language barrier Financial Times - 4 juli 2010 After last year’s riots, the assimilation policy has been stepped up. In September 2009, all middle schools in townships and villages were closed and merged into larger ones at the county level, teachers and education officials in southern Xinjiang told the Financial Times. The new system aims to expose students to Mandarin at a much earlier age and give the school more influence compared with their families. Xinjiang riots: one year on, Uighur and Han fears still run deep The Guardian - 5 juli 2010 Uighurs make up almost half of Xinjiang's population of 23 million. But many feel marginalised by recent Han migration, which they fear is destroying their way of life and increasing discrimination.	A year after unrest, Xinjiang calmer CNN - 6 juli 2010 For several days, tensions on both sides remained high. While nervous Uyghurs ran for cover from the government crackdown and Han reprisals, hundreds of angry Han Chinese, some wielding sticks and knives, paraded the streets, calling for government protection and vowing "revenge." A few times, we almost got caught in the middle of potentially ugly clashes. Uighurs Mark Anniversary of Deadly Ethnic Protests in China VOA News - 5 juli 2010 Beijing officials have repeatedly stressed that all ethnic groups in China are treated equally. But human rights groups say discriminatory economic and cultural policies against the Uighurs raised ethnic tensions to a boiling point in Xinjiang, culminating in last July's protests. Ending the silence on China's Uighur repression Washington Post - 5 juli 2010 Beijing has blamed "overseas hostile forces" for the violence, especially Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer, who was exiled to the United States from a Chinese prison in 2005. But the source of the unrest is entirely internal, the immediate cause being an attack on Uighur workers at a Guangdong toy factory 10 days before the Urumqi protests. Uighurs flee China after riots AP - 20 juni 2010 But Amnesty International says that in the past, the group has documented cases of returned Uighur asylum seekers in which some have been detained, reportedly tortured and in some cases sentenced to death and executed.	Xinjiang: Chinese on the guard but, Friday prayers allowed Sri Lanka Guardian - 4 juli 2010 The police are concerned as much over the dangers of sections of the Hans indulging in violence against the Uighurs as over Uighur violence against the Hans. They have been discouraging people from moving around in the city without imposing a curfew. Police vans have been advising people in both Han and Uighur areas not to move around unless absolutely necessary to purchase food articles and medicines. Web blocks remain one year on for China's Uighurs Sydney Morning Herald - 6 juli 2010 Access to dozens of websites, largely government-run or national web portals, was restored earlier this year, and most others came back on stream in May. But three major portals used by Uighurs for news and discussion remain blocked -- a reality which is hindering efforts by members of the Turkic-speaking minority to preserve their culture, experts say. Police keep violence hit city quiet in China Gulf Times - 6 juli 2010 State media on Tuesday focused on the government’s efforts to increase security and promote economic development since the rioting in Urumqi, the capital of the vast Xinjiang region. But Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the Munich-based World Uighur Congress, said China was continuing to suppress the region’s 8mn Uighurs and urged the international community to press China to allow an independent investigation of last year’s rioting. Heavy security in China's Urumqi Al Jazeera - 5 juli 2010 Authorities checked the bags of visitors to markets and hotels and a reported 40,000 surveillance cameras with "riot-proof" shells were being used to monitor potential hotspots. The government's measures show Beijing is determined to prevent a repeat of the violence when rioting, street battles, mob attacks and reprisals flared between the mainly Muslim Uighur minority and China's dominant Han Chinese.

Yuanen flyter, men flyter den nog?

”A hasty, swift appreciation of the yuan will make it difficult to control an influx of "hot money" and endanger the Chinese economy.” - CRI

”Several traders said they also viewed Tuesday's move as a signal that the central bank could be endorsing a correction for the yuan after Monday's rally, and reinforcing the perception that its latest promise to increase the yuan's flexibility means two-way fluctuation.” - Wall Street Journal

Lördagen den 19 juni meddelade Kinas centralbank (PBC) att värdet på yuanen tillåts variera enligt skiftningar på världsmarknaden. Dagen därpå klargjorde PBC att den nya flexibiliteten inte innebar några drastiska justeringar. Enligt banken var det närmast frågan om en mer flexibel växelkurs som följer kursen på en mängd andra valutor.
