China economy growing while landing softly

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-18 14:16:23

Chinanews, Beijing, July 18 (By Wang Yongzhi) - Although the second
quarter confidence index of Chinese economists was at its lowest since
the first quarter of 2004, the latest survey shows that China's
macroeconomy can be expected to maintain relatively fast growth while at
the same time land softly. According to the predictions of more than 80%
of economists, this year's GDP will grow between 8% and 9%.
Ye Zhicai and Pan Jiancheng with the China Economic Monitoring and
Analysis Center (CEMAC) of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)
explained to reporters that the survey of the confidence index of Chinese
economists conducted this June by the Center shows that this index is 5.2
for the second quarter, declining by 0.51 from the first quarter and is
at its lowest since the first quarter of 2004, but still at a level
indicating satisfaction with the economic situation.
The sixty specialists who are learned about the macroeconomy generally
feel that China's exports and investment growth rates will decline as
expected; inflation will decelerate; FDI tends to also decline; property
values indicate a downtrend; economic "temperature" obviously trending
downwards; the pressure on the RMB to appreciate has been reduced.
Regarding the trends in the second half of the year, 14% of these
economists believe that over the next six months the economic situation
will "change for the better", 11 percentage points lower than the first
quarter; 64% believe that the situation will "remain unchanged", 7
percentage points lower than first quarter's; 22% believe the situation
will "worsen", 18 percentage points higher than the first quarter. The
projected business climate index is 4.66, dropping 1.2 from the first
quarter's figure, showing that economists worrying about the economy
trending downward.
Regarding property prices that are widely watched, experts predict
stability with a downward bias, quite different from the first quarter
when more than half the economists thought that property values would
rise in the next six months. This survey shows that 21% believe that
prices will "rise", 31 percentage points lower than the first quarter's;
43% believe that prices will "decline" and 36% believe that prices will
"hold steady".
Under the circumstance of widespread prediction of declining economic
growth, the majority of economists believe that China's economy will not
show too much volatility and there is a high likelihood of it maintaining
a relatively high growth while landing softly.

40-kilometer journey early in the morning. Tibet has only 50

A shopping mall at Nanjing's Xinjiekou, Jiangsu Province, invited some
students from a martial art school to stage a martial art performance on
the square, attracting many citizens to watch on July 9. In this
midsummer, vendors in Nanjing open "cool-enjoying night market" in order
to dispel high temperature's impact on sales. They organized large-scale
performances on square, children's art festivals and shopping festivals
and resorted to various means such as cash reimbursement to scramble for
business opportunities in summer, leaving no stone unturned to attract
customers.

Folk songs in classic novel chosen as national cultural heritage

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-28 17:54:51

Folk songs in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, which are
honored as living fossils of popular songs in the Ming (1368-1644) and
Qing (1616-1911) Dynasties, were recently chosen into the first batch of
national intangible cultural heritages by China's Ministry of Culture.
These folk songs were old folk melodies popular around Zichuan District
in Shandong's Zibo City and edited by Pu Songling, a litterateur in the
Qing Dynasty, on the basis of prevailing melodies and tunes at that time.
These folk songs become another important cultural contribution that
parallels the success of Pu's classical novel the Strange Stories from a
Chinese Studio. Pictured, entertainers were singing folk songs in the
Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in an antique-style teahouse.

China to set up effective system for IPR protection

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-21 09:58:05

(Source: Xinhua)

BEIJING, Apr.21 -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has reiterated his
confidence in China's ability to fight piracy, stressing that IPR
protection is as important as protecting productivity.
"China will establish an effective system for intellectual property
rights (IPR) protection with strict law-enforcement and strong
supervision," Wen said during his visit to an ongoing IPR protection
exhibition held at the Chinese Military Museum in Beijing.
Wen said China's efforts will focus on four aspects: enhancing law
enforcement, improving administrative supervision, broadening
international co-operation and fostering IPR protection awareness among
the public.
The exhibition is open to the public from April 16 to 23. Hundreds of
counterfeit goods are on display and there are booths highlighting the
protection of trademarks, copyright and patents from different government
departments and domestic companies.
"The exhibition shows Chinese government's determination to fight
piracy," Wen said, adding that the government is firm on IPR protection
and it meets the needs of China's modernization drive and is the
country's commitment to the international community.
On the same day, a press conference was held in Beijing by several law
enforcement and IPR departments of the central government to show China's
progress in fighting piracy in 2005.
Wen's comments coincide with President Hu Jintao's state visit to the
United States where the issue of piracy is a hot topic at present.
Meanwhile, in Washington, visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao pledged to
step up protection of intellectual property rights at aluncheon attended
by hundreds of government and business leaders on the second day of his
visit to the United States.
"We will continue to improve the legal system for IPR protection, step up
law enforcement and crack down hard on IPR infringement to protect the
lawful rights and interests of foreign IPR proprietors in China in
accordance with the law," Hu said.

China's increasingly embarrassing role as factory of the world

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-14 16:30:32

Chinanews, Apr. 14 - Wang Shichun, Director of the Bureau of Fair Trade
for Imports and Exports under the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), revealed
lately that, affected by such factors as the rising trend of
protectionist sentiments in international trade and increasingly fierce
competition in global markets, China is encountering more and more trade
frictions and has entered a stage of high frequencies of trade frictions.
The situation is becoming ever more complicated, and trade frictions
involving China show four major symptoms.
First, the categories of goods involved in trade frictions keep
expanding, mainly in China's advantageous labor-intensive products such
as light industrial, textile and electromechanical products. Moreover,
after China reached agreements with the EU and the US on the textile
issue, the conflict on textile products between China and other
developing countries may become more acute. Recently, overseas markets
have been paying close attention to China's iron and steel exports and
successive frictions might arise in this industry.
Second, as trade frictions between China and developed countries become
more and more frequent, trade frictions with other developing countries
also show an uptrend. At present, foreign trade remedy investigations
initiated by India, Turkey, South Africa and other developing countries
account for 60% of all such actions against China.
Third, in terms of protectionist approaches in foreign trade,
anti-dumping remains the most frequently used trade remedy against China.
Some WTO member countries quote the 16th clause of China's WTO agreement
to initiate many safeguard investigations against China. In addition,
developed countries limit imports of China-made products by means of
technical trade barriers, technological criterion, inspection and
quarantine, and other non-duty barriers and methods.
Fourth, trade frictions are gradually expanding from the commodity sector
to the service trade, investment and intellectual property right (IPR)
sectors, from the micro layer of enterprises to the layer of macro
systems. China faces more pressure, particularly on the issues of the RMB
exchange rate and IPR protection.
Why has a major manufacturing country become a severely afflicted focus
of trade frictions in the world? Xinhua News Agency quotes an expert
comment that under the background of globalization, China has become a
crucial destination of industry transfer, and its comparative advantages
decide that its products are extremely competitive and have considerable
impact on relevant industries of other countries. Therefore, China has
become a natural target of trade frictions.
As a major manufacturing country, China plays an increasingly
embarrassing role, facing one trade friction after another on the one
hand and shrinking profit as a result of falling prices on the other
hand. Its exports are surprisingly large in volume and coverage, but this
not only brings the ill fame of dumping but also leads to consumption of
resources and environment pollution.
Such an embarrassing situation shows that while China is a big
manufacturing country, it is not a powerful one. In global industry
chains, China's current production mode falls on the link of processing
and assembling which feature low added value and low technological
content.
Famous economist Wu Jinglian believes that an overlarge proportion of
investment leads to overly rapid growth of production capacity and
eventually inadequate demand. Therefore, enterprises run into more
difficulties in operation and rely more and more on exports, which in the
end stir up trade frictions between China and its trade partners.
An MOFCOM official pointed out that transformation of growth patterns,
independent innovation and corporate brand establishment are the only way
for China to grow from a big manufacturing country into a powerful one.

The clear sky in Henan's Luoyang City was suddenly overwhelmed by flying
sands and stones, with over Force 7 strong wind making residents hard to
stand firm on Apr. 11. It was just like at dusk. The sands spread from
the west to the east, and soon turned the city into a scene of "eventide"
at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Pedestrians were so unprepared that
they hurried to cover their mouths and noses with clothes.

Baokang Shadow Play

www.chinanews.cn 2005-08-26 16:00:36

Shadow play was originated in the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD), formed in
the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and reached its peak in the Southern Song
Dynasty (1127-1279). Shadow play at Zhangjialing in Hubei's Baokang
County is the most representative. It is a folk art adopted by local
farmers to pray for blessings, give thanks to gods and celebrate a good
harvest. The leather silhouettes were made from large sheets of donkey
hulls. They are exquisitely painted and colored. A figure in a shadow
play consists of head, body, arms and legs. Folk artists use a piece of
cloth as the screen and a lamp to cast the shadows on the screen. In old
times, they used oil lamps, and nowadays they use an electric light. A
shadow play usually needs three persons, one to hold the figures and
control their movements, two to play the music. The figures are
classified in a similar way to those in Beijing Opera, and the singing of
those folk artists varies in different regions in China.

extravagance that both mother and child could go well after birth.
"When I was pregnant, I went for a check in the regional maternity and
child care hospital; unfortunately, the result shows that I was in
high-risk pregnancy," things still remained fresh in Zhuoma's memory.
Linzhi maternity and child care hospital director Cuoyong said that such
a mother should have been dead in the past. According to traditions in
Tibetan farming and pasturing areas in those days, if a woman will give
birth to a child, she should stay at home and even cannot tell others
about it, not mention seeing a doctor or antenatal examination.
Like Zhuoma, another seven or eight pregnant women were also at Linzhi
maternity and child care hospital. They abandoned the old way of waiting
for a midwife at home which had been passed down for generations and
enjoyed subsidies from the government and safe childbearing at the
hospital.
Tibet has begun systematic maternity and child care efforts since the mid
1980s. In these two decades, through maternity and child care programs
jointly carried out by the Tibet Autonomous Region Government, the
Ministry and Health of China and the United States Children's Fund as
well as the national program of "reducing maternal mortality and
eliminating neonatal tetanus", maternal and neonatal mortality rate has
visibly reduced in Tibet.
