Developers for home buyers to advance the remaining payments, regulators said the move does not break the rules

 

Regardless of the effect of percent down payment, “” staging down “phenomenon, the release of housing prices to adjust the depth signal is giving the real estate market bogged down in stalemate

Extinct long-percent down payment great comeback trend, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Hefei, Huizhou, developers have the cover of darkness. ”

Mortgage mortgage that may result in illegal operations and the property market speculation triggered the vigilance of the regulatory authorities, part of the local government regulatory departments have been involved in the investigation.

The back of this phenomenon, and the property control policies under the weight of new house stock has climbed to record highs, to digest the stock and return the funds to become the top priority of the developers.

Since February, a new round of price cuts led to Dr. Paul Gold “four signs of housing prices began sweeping the country, and led a number of large national developers have followed suit.

Developers disguised price cuts

The popular two years ago, “one percent down payment,” down “in phases, has been quietly re-staged in multiple locations. February 25, Luohu District, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao on the 8th project opened, the site intermediaries holding the brand of “Hong Kong and Macao on the 8th Fu Yicheng” attracted thousands of onlookers.

The field staff explained that the so-called “Fu Yicheng” refers to the buyers would need to pay three percent down payment, now you only pay into the remaining two percent advance by the developer, including a free offer, the other one into only need buyers to pay off can be in three installments without interest during the year.

In accordance with the provisions of the relevant national mortgage policy, the first set of home buyers and home buyers down payment can not be less than three percent. Therefore, this lead to the Shenzhen Urban Planning and Land Committee’s investigation, the findings of the department finds that the developer did not violate the current policy, because the banks of the collection when the transaction is still the first Fusan Cheng.

Shenzhen Urban Planning and Land Committee, said on the 8th Hong Kong and Macao project is not on the true meaning of one percent down payment, “but” disguised price cuts to win buyers. The industry projections, the purchase of Hong Kong and Macao on the 8th project developers enjoy advance two into one as free offers, the actual equivalent of playing 8.8 fold.

The project developer, then announced that the Hong Kong and Macao on the 8th there is a certain deviation in terms of publicity, although in the propaganda term “a down payment,” the words, but buyers still need to pay 30% of a mortgage company does not help customers advance into two. The difference is that, the company donated the equivalent of one to buy a house into the home appliance section, and assume% to buy a house a year interest.

In fact, the developers launched down payment promotions, are the number of cities continue to unfold.

Nanjing, developers had first launched at the Hong Kong and Macao on the 8th down payment of the preferential measures the Jiangbei number of real estate reproduction of a percent down payment. Cullinan International Plaza from February 11 to March 14 for the lack of down payment just need customers to launch promotional activities in the first Fu Yicheng, only 70,000 yuan.

“First Financial Daily” from the Cullinan International Plaza sales staff to confirm that the remaining 20% ​​to buy a house in 2-3 months to settle. The Poly Indus language has also launched the first suite Fu Yicheng activities, but the project sales staff that can ultimately enjoy the first Fu Yicheng concessions, still to the company to apply for.

According to local media reports, Nanjing Dahua Fairview Chinese city in mid-February also launched the first suite into a down payment of preferential policies, the two suites can enjoy three percent down payment and the remaining payments be paid in five months Qi.

In Wuhan, located in the Huangpi Hankou dragon Avenue and the highway intersection of Han Shi Hanlin Agile projects are being implemented into a down payment buyers dream activity “. Reporters the identity of buyers for the sales staff, the other said buyers need only pay one percent down payment, the remaining 20% ​​first payment advanced by the company, to advance the purchase money paid can be submitted one month before the

Moreover, according to local media reports, the Huizhou PENGDA Royal West Lake in February to take a first Fu Yicheng promotional measures, the other two into a down payment by the developer advances, respectively, in the middle of the year and the end of delivery; Zhongkai Junhao International launch pad down payment ” activities, buyers simply Fu Yicheng down payment, while another 20% of paid in three years, and no interest.

State Council: Employment and compulsory education in the new policy ban is linked with the account

26. February 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

PRC State Council yesterday issued a Notice on actively and steadily promote the reform of household registration system, notification requirements, the future introduction of employment, compulsory education, skills training and other policy measures, not linked to the account of the nature. Continue to explore establishing a unified household registration system. The progressive introduction of a temporary residence permit system population. Temporary residents to learn, work and inconvenience of relevant policies and measures to concentrate on cleaning up once the modification is not seriously modified, resolutely abolished abolished.

“In recent years, with the reform of household registration system, the various parts can not be ignored in some places regardless of the actual situation of local economic and social development, one-sided pursuit of the urban scale of the speed of urbanization; in some places, regardless of city category regardless of the city’s comprehensive carrying ability to blindly relaxation of the conditions settled in the city; in some places without breaking the national policy, damage to the vital interests of the masses. notice so summed up the current household registration system reform status quo, and some policies were clearly defined.

Account of migration policy, informing the classification provisions. Urban areas in the county-level cities and county people’s government of Town and other towns legitimate a stable job and have a legal and stable residence (including rental) staff, himself and his spouse live together, unmarried children, parents can apply at the local registered permanent residence; the city divided into districts (excluding municipalities, sub-provincial cities and other large cities) have a legitimate stable job for three years and have a legal and stable residence (including rental) to reach a certain number of years to participate in social insurance in accordance with state regulations staff themselves and their common living spouse, unmarried children, parents can apply at a local registered permanent residence; continue to control the size of municipalities, sub-provincial cities and other large urban population, to further improve and implement the good existing city settled policy.

The rural population has settled in the town, to ensure that enjoy the same rights as the local urban residents; have temporarily settled in the conditions of migrant workers should be targeted to improve the relevant system, make great efforts to resolve their current labor compensation, child the outstanding problems in school, skills training, public health, housing, hire purchase, social security, occupational safety and health.

■ Experts suggest that

Three-year period can be extended to big cities. ”

The classification of a clear account of migration policy, Tao Ran, a professor of Renmin University of China School of Economics believes that this policy than in the past is indeed a step forward. For example, in the county-level city urban, resident of the county People’s Government of the Town and other towns, as long as there is a stable job and stable housing, you can apply for a local account, unlike many developed areas of cities to engage in the points system, or need to pay a certain period of social security, etc., so that put a lot of self-employed population is excluded. But the policy also provides for an exception, the town carrying capacity the pressure can raise a certain limit, this is open to question, to prevent some areas to limit settled.

In addition, on the municipalities and districts clearly legitimate stable job for three years “period,” I think this policy can cover extended to the sub-provincial city and other major cities, limiting the development of large cities, the policy itself is questionable, there is employment and economic development opportunities lie. ”

The EU said the conditional suspension of part of the new regulations of aviation carbon tax

24. February 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

The two-day carbon emissions from the aviation industry the International Conference concluded in Moscow on 22 May, delegates from 29 countries worldwide, issued a joint declaration of opposition to the EU unilateral carbon tax measures to the other countries’ airlines.

29 countries against a tough stance

Joint Declaration contains the package can choose the counter-measures, countries will choose according to their specific situation. These measures include: the use of laws to prohibit their airlines to participate in the carbon emissions trading system; to modify the “open skies” agreements with the EU countries; pause or change negotiations to expand the rights of commercial flight. Russian Vice Minister of Ministry of Transport Aokuluofu disclosed that Russia or will be limited to EU airlines to increase the frequency of the Trans-Siberian route, as a response to the EU’s carbon tax.

“This meeting is to the international community set a good example.” The Aokuluofu said, “we hope to achieve is to make the EU to either cancel the carbon tax to other national airlines, or to postpone the implementation of this policy.”

The Chinese delegation, the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority officials Yoshihara said, the EU regardless of the world against, insisting to impose unreasonable costs on the global aviation industry, which is unacceptable to China. The National Civil Aviation Authority this month ordered a ban on all airlines in China to participate in the carbon emissions trading system.

Yoshihara, said the EU carbon emission allowances to the aviation industry is based on the 2004 to 2006, global aviation emissions as a benchmark to determine the. Was about 85% of emissions free, the excess part of the airlines in the EU carbon emissions trading system to buy. A substantial increase in flights to Europe flights in recent years, this outdated standard, most countries should be to the EU to pay. Relevant provisions of the EU as a regional organization, not entitled to a disguised form of taxation to the rest of the world’s airlines, which do not meet the International Civil Aviation Convention (the “Chicago Convention”).

Or there is room for negotiations

The voice of opposition to the EU carbon tax is increasingly tough, the EU is not possible to make the possibility of deferring the implementation of a carbon tax?

Previously, under pressure from all sides, a number of EU officials have issued a signal of compromise. EU Transport Commissioner Kallas has said that if you can see a sufficient scale of the global solution, the EU is willing to take a flexible approach to a carbon tax on carbon emissions trading system. EU Climate Action Secretary De Beike had also suggested that the “conditional suspended part of aviation carbon tax regulations, the premise is established in the future global climate protection system should be better than the system currently only applicable in the European Union. The global system must also treat all airlines equally, and the establishment of short-term emissions reduction goals.

The EU “let go” position so that the direction of the aviation carbon tax has become more complicated and confusing.

However, the European Union on a variety of voices of opposition to remain silent, the European Commission said it had not received any specific proposal against the carbon tax. Some analysts also said the EU immediately stopped or the possibility of making concessions is not large. If the EU on this issue continue to obstinately, the multinational may be counter-measures for its implementation, and may lead to serious trade war.

Last December, the EU announced a collection of international aviation carbon tax from January 1, 2012. According to regulations, all international flights taking off and landing within the EU airport must pay the cost of carbon emissions, including Chinese companies, including more than 2,000 global carriers are included in the system. According to the International Air Transport Association estimated that the EU approach means that the global aviation industry in the next eight years the additional burden of $ 23.8 billion. Industry insiders estimate that the carbon tax to $ 26 billion in revenue for the EU in 2020. Taking into account the other countries to reduce carbon emissions by purchasing a new aircraft in Europe, the EU increased revenue will far exceed this figure.

Fitch Greece rating to the most junk

23. February 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

Huitong February 22, the international rating agency, Fitch Ratings (Fitch Ratings) announced on Wednesday (February 22), Greece’s long-term foreign and local currency issuer default rating (the Issuer Default Ratings, referred to as IDRs) from the “CCC” down to the “C”, and confirm that the Greek short-term foreign currency rating to “C” level. Fitch said the C rating in Greece show that Greece recently is very likely to default.

After Greece said will force reluctant to participate in the debt swap of the bondholders to accept write-downs, the outside world has been widely expected that its rating will be lowered.

Down the reason

Fitch said the proposal to reduce Greece’s public debt through debt replacement will constitute a breach of contract; the implementation of collective action clauses (CACs) will be the enforcement of private creditors; debt replacement is completed, Greece issuer default rating will be lowered to a partial breach of contract; completion of the debt agreements in Greece after Greece out of the default rating.

Fitch lowered the action followed by the statement of the euro group. Euro Group (Eurogroup) issued a statement yesterday (February 21), Greece’s second round of the assistance agreement will include “private sector involvement (PSI) and the Greek authorities replacement Greek government bonds (GGBs) listed the contents of this announcement.” . Today’s rating action in line with Fitch statement on June 6, 2011. Fitch lists will be sovereign debt swap rating.

Euro Group Gazette notice said that the Greek authorities and the private sector in the PSI swap has reached a basic consensus, including write-downs in the name of 53.5% of the nominal value of Greek government bonds (GGBs). Follow-up statement of the Greek authorities to expand the conditions of the debt swap, and confirm that the Greek government intends to Greek law to collective action clauses (collective action … risks clauses of, referred to as CACs) the introduction of these bonds are interchangeable.

In Fitch’s view, according to its rating criteria, if completed, the replacement behavior would constitute a “bad debt exchange (the” distressed debt exchange “, referred to as the DDE)” Therefore, yesterday’s announcement to make Fitch began to reassess the Greek bond issue The rating of the person.

The bond issuer default rating to “C”, highly probable breach of contract means that the recent. The bond issuer’s bond rating for interchangeable corresponding underground raised “C” rating.

Outlook rating arrangements

Fitch believes that in order to reduce Greece’s public debt burden by the private sector and voluntary debt swap proposal, if able to complete, will constitute a “rating default rating default”; After the implementation of the debt swap, Greece rating will be lowered to “partial breach of contract (Restricted Default, referred to the RD). Shortly after the implementation of the new debt swap, the sovereignty of Greece will be removed “restricted default” rating, and re-rating in accordance with the assessment of rating agencies and credit conditions in the post-default “.

Greek government bonds (GGBs) the impact of debt swap (including those who did not tender but in a debt swap under the the CACs terms of structure, in anticipation of collective action clauses will be implemented under the Greek law retrospective.) May also be reduced to “D” rating (D is the abbreviation of default), that is default rating.

Note: “C” Fitch rating system junk 11 is the most junk.

■ Expert viewpoint

Nanjing to make the strongest protest

For Nanjing announced the suspension of official exchanges between the Nagoya municipal government. “The Institute of International Relations Japan scholar Professor Yang Bojiang believe that this recent period for individual Japanese politicians to deny the Nanjing Massacre toughest protest action.

From a diplomatic point of view, Kawamura’s remarks hurt the feelings of the people of Nanjing, the Nanjing Municipal Government made this decision is in line with diplomatic practice. In addition, the Nanjing just speak to suspend official contacts with the Nagoya City, the phrase also leave room for the two cities may resume contacts may Kawamura his remarks an apology or some concessions, even the rotation of the mayor of Nagoya City official contacts of the two cities will all be restored.

In addition, Yang Bojiang analysis of this incident the voice of Internet users in the domestic network of the final action of the Nanjing play a role in boosting.

Kawamura speech or in order to meet the Japanese right-wing

-Japan Joint History Research Committee, Department of History, Peking University professor Wang Xinsheng, Kawamura mentioned in the meeting with the Chinese delegation as a Japanese politician of the Nanjing Massacre does not take into account China’s feelings to deny the Nanjing Massacre is obviously outdated.

Wang Xinsheng said the Nanjing Massacre in the Sino-Japanese government level exchanges are generally two sides will avoid the topic, because the two sides has not reached an agreement on the specific figures of the number of victims. In Japan, regardless of political, academic, or civil, the majority of Japanese have already agreed to the existence of the Nanjing Massacre, only a handful of people and the right-wing groups has been to deny the Nanjing Massacre. Japanese politicians, the mainstream politicians in Japan’s attitude is not to deny the Nanjing Massacre.

Xinsheng think, does not exclude Kawamura remarks in order to meet the needs of the Japanese right-wing groups.

Chinese officials deny the Nanjing Massacre remarks published in the Village, whether there should be a violent reaction, Wang Xinsheng, Japan on official occasions such remarks hurt the Chinese people, especially the feelings of the people in Nanjing, the Chinese officials should have a response, but response to a sense of proportion should be on the scene, after all, the two sides do not want to so affect the Sino-Japanese relations.

■ People

Kawamura several times prefer to give the “Holocaust” revisionist

His father has been involved in a war of aggression against China, after the surrender of the case of Nanjing citizens to treat

As a fairly experienced politicians, Kawamura claimed that the “Nanjing Massacre” grounds makes it difficult to understand – he said that the reason why the Holocaust does not exist, because in 1945, the citizens of Nanjing has treated him very friendly as the father of the Japanese invading army soldiers.

Grow up

Business Law unsuccessful turn politics

Kawamura, 63 years old, his father was a soldier of the Japanese Army 101 Division, and participated in a war of aggression against China. Father’s experience of history, Kawamura had a significant impact.

In 1967, Kawamura graduated from high school a year later was admitted to the Faculty of Commerce of Hitotsubashi University, Japan. After graduation, he directly into his father run a small company to do sales, when the driver. As well-known graduates of the University Village in his father’s company had been feeling useless, depressed and frustrated. Decided to give up in business, switch to the legal profession. Beginning in 1977, Kawamura began to study law, and continued to participate in the judicial examination of 10 years, he did not even test the nine were not cross the border had to be abandoned.

From the business is unsuccessful, the lawyer pass the test, Kawamura began to get involved in politics to become Secretary of the ultra-conservative politicians spring Fortunately. In 1993, Kawamura was elected a member of the Japanese House of Representatives since then has been smooth career, and five elected members of Congress. 2009, as Democratic lawmakers Kawamura back to the hometown of Nagoya, election mayor, and has been elected.

View

Dissatisfaction with textbooks to recognize the Holocaust

To do during the Members of Parliament and mayor of Nagoya, Kawamura’s extreme right-wing politicians features were revealed, especially in the Nanjing Massacre.

In 2006, as the Members of the Village open to the House of Representatives interrogatories asked the Japanese government “re-examined the problem of the so-called Nanjing Massacre”. Questioned in this book, Kawamura elaborated on the reasons for the Holocaust does not exist “.

Questioned the book, Kawamura first mentioned his father, “My father was relieved on August 16, 1945 armed, arrived in Nanjing, has been living in the outskirts of Nanjing Qixia Temple to the second year in January.” Kawamura said During her stay in Nanjing, and his father together 250 Japanese soldiers, “they get locals special treat, all to be alive, for which they are grateful.”

However, when the citizens of Nanjing treat Kawamura father was Kawamura as evidence of “the Holocaust does not exist”. He asked the book says, “If there occurred the massacre, in just eight years later (Japanese soldiers) how may citizens of Nanjing so very warm exchange. Therefore, I think it should be re-discuss the so-called Nanjing Massacre. ”

Kawamura also said that Japan’s history textbooks almost have been documented in the Nanjing Massacre, some textbooks also stated the massacre of 20 people, these are regarded as the opinion of the Government of Japan, “This is very bad”.

Behavior

To revision of history textbooks

However, Kawamura’s jump on the no impact on the Japanese government.

Trying to push to amend the Government views the attempt to come to nothing, Kawamura continues to advocate his remarks on other occasions. 2009, has been elected mayor of Nagoya City Village City Council declared the Holocaust death toll is more than the total population of Nanjing, “absolutely untrue”, “It was just general combat behavior. During the mayor, Kawamura was also trying to promote the Nagoya City deny the Nanjing Massacre in history textbooks.

Irish entrepreneurs known as diligent work, the courage to open up the reputation. I hope the entrepreneurs of both countries to seize the opportunity to deepen economic and trade cooperation a new bright spot as a focal point to promote the common development of the bilateral economic relations between the two countries. To this end, I propose to recommend the following five aspects.

First, the expansion of bilateral trade, promote the development of trade in services. “12th Five-Year” period, China to promote the services sector development as the industrial structure optimization and upgrading of strategic focus, will intensify its efforts to promote the services sector development speed, raise the proportion of the level of upgrade.

China is a response to the crisis in European countries including Ireland, to achieve recovery can draw on a reliable friend, is a reliable partner in international and multilateral affairs. China will continue in a responsible manner, within the limits of the EU, IMF and European Central Bank in response to the efforts made ​​by the European debt problems, continue to strengthen communication and coordination with the EU policy to promote the China-EU economic and trade, investment and financial cooperation, participation and action in support of the international community in Europe and the euro area. We believe that European wisdom and capabilities, there are ways to overcome difficulties, to usher in a new development.

Chinese saying goes, is called: Pro Yuan Xian fish, it is better to settle for the net “. Ireland also has the proverb says: “Despite mulling thousands of Baidu, the better to personally come down to earth hoe.

U.S. companies mode of executive pay: the history, debate and reflection (on)

19. February 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

side executives remuneration is not a recent development. Only because of the financial crisis in the West and “occupation Wall Street Movement, executive compensation in the current stage it is particularly striking. A U.S. company executive compensation history of the development (Phase I: 1935, executive compensation, rapid growth, but no regulatory measures In 1910, American Tobacco, U.S. Steel two large-scale enterprises for the first time the executive compensation and corporate operations of the combination, in addition to give the fixed wages of executives, also the company’s profits as part of the remuneration paid to executives, which can be understood the beginning of the incentive compensation system, but also opened the prelude of soaring executive pay. 1930, with the ordinary company mergers and litigation revealed that the president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation  BethlehemSteel remuneration in 1929 reached $ 1,600,000, and in the previous 10 years, the salary every year in more than one million U.S. dollars. Subsequently, many large companies have also been found that executive compensation is already in more than one million U.S. dollars.  Phase II: 1935 to 1980 mid-term, growth in executive pay is not obvious at this stage, the public focus on executive compensation weakened. Frydman & Sak in  2008 statistics show that, from the mid-1930s to the 1950s or so, sample data, the median executive pay from about $ 90 million reduced to about $ 75 million. Jensen, & Murphy  1990 statistics and calculations show that :1934-1939, the New York Stock Exchange listed company CEO salary plus bonus, an average of $ 882,000  $ 1988, from 1982 to 1988, the wages of comparable companies, the CEO plus bonuses of $ 843,000  of $ 1988. According to this calculation, the CEO’s cash salary plus bonus in 50 years does not rise but drop. Jensen, & Murphy  1990 also compared the change in speed of the average worker and the CEO’s total remuneration that is not much difference between the two.  three stages: the third since the mid-1980, executive pay is rapid growth , the absolute amount of executive pay began to grow rapidly since the mid-eighties of the last century, the growth rate much faster than the general staff, and continue to cause concern and debate. Hall & Murphy,  2003 study shows that the average American CEO wages and the wages of ordinary workers rose from 100 in 1999 to 2000 about 350 times -570 times. The Mishel  2009 study: the CEO of the average wage and the ratio of the average wage of the average worker in 1965 for 24 times, 35 times in 1979, 1989, 71 times, 299 times in 1999. This period the rapid growth of executive compensation to a large extent the result of assets such as stock options income ratio continued to improve in the salary structure. Gradually increase the share of long-term compensation and stock options since the late 1950s; widely associated with executive compensation and securities market in the 1980s; from the early 1990s, stock options, long-term returns began to replace the wages and bonuses to become the largest part of the remuneration ; stock options accounted for about 2000 peak; long-term returns in 2005, accounting for 35%. In addition, from the beginning of the 1950s, cash income tax rate is a substantial increase, and long-term compensation and stock options as capital income tax rate is very low, the tax policy has played a significant role in the use of long-term compensation and stock options. Second, the controversy over the high pay of executives  a reasonable pay: executives high salaries coordination of the principal – agent conflicts of interest, and promote the enhancement of the performance of the company Jensen, & Murphy,  1990 statistics of the 1974 ~ 1988 years 1400 listing of the company’s market value and these listed companies 2505 CEO’s pay, which the largest 250 enterprises carried out the sensitivity analysis of think: these companies per $ 1000 market value of the change, CEO of the cash and prizes change amounted to 6.7 cents, plus stock options and other assets income, changes in CEO pay amounted to $ 2.59. This means that a billion profit for the company executives cash salary increases to $ 6,700, a waste of a billion, executives loss is the number. Waste of money to make money much executives personally as an agent to be cost-effective. This conclusion raises two questions: First, the executive pay changes and the company’s value changes in this period is so weak, how can we ensure the company’s CEO is not a bureaucratic as the management company? Second, the the shareholders  company owner is concerned about the growth of the market value of, or to pay the cost of executive pay to go? “The company’s remuneration policy is a successful company, one of the most important factor in this not only because of the salary determines the behavior of managers, but also determine a company to attract what managers. Protest on executive compensation is very harmful … if the pay and performance correlation is very strong, is not it should be paid to the executives high salaries? answer is yes. Jensen, & Murphy  1990 clearly stated: the executives to have a lot of company stock. Most of the discourse of the later support the high salaries of corporate executives, most of them at the top of this framework. During the 1990s, discussions on executive compensation, the majority of academic research that the total compensation and salary structure is better co-ordination of the principal – agent conflicts of interest, promote the enhancement of the performance of the company.  two high salaries irrational: exacerbate social injustice, and lead to dissatisfaction of the general public of the financial crisis on executive compensation and firm performance is poor, mainly in that the absolute amount of executive pay is too large. Fortune magazine  the Fortune 1936 random survey: the survey sample, 54.5 percent of people believe that executive pay is too high, 5.8 percent think rates are too low. Executive compensation and staff of the pay gap is too large, and very easily lead to fairness and social discontent. Bebchuk & Fried,  2004 based on the theory of management rights, the board of directors and executives believe in the American business community and the vast majority of executive compensation researchers conducted the assumption of the fair trade does not exist. Senior management personnel management authority over the Board of Directors, and the “rent-seeking from its management company, the failure of corporate governance structure so that management” captured “by the Board of Directors. After the outbreak of the financial crisis, the considerable amount of research literature that the pay system did not reach the theoretical expected results, and asset income in the salary structure to increase the systematic risk of the economy, which is an important incentive to lead to a series of corporate governance scandals and financial crises a. Due to the high degree of asset securitization in the United States, the strong correlation, so that the risk of accumulation, especially in the high leverage and high financial securities are likely to cause systemic financial risks. This argument is to some extent, to get official recognition. For example, the April 2009 G20 London summit of the Financial Stability Board issued practice principles on sound remuneration  FSB2009, begins with the relationship between the financial executives high salaries and the financial crisis, wrote: “large financial institutions pay behavior is one of the factors leading to the financial crisis that began in 2007. high salary is only based on short-term high profits, while ignoring the long-term risk of financial enterprises. the current salary structure of the excessive risk behavior to be magnified, and a serious threat to the international financial order so that financial firms do not have the ability to circumvent the loss in risk occurs.

US-China Export Control “tie him down,” Sino-US trade balance

18. February 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

Visit the State Council Development Research Center of Economic Research, Vice Minister Li Zhijun.

in the Sino-US trade, the problem of trade imbalances always exist, and gradually highlights this imbalance led to the United States continue to put pressure on the Chinese exchange rate policy and the Sino-US trade friction, continued “fever”. The high-tech products has increasingly become the protagonist of the international trade. Although U.S. exports to China in recent years the rapid growth of high-tech products has lagged far behind in agricultural and other goods, has greatly restricted U.S. trade with China. Li Zhijun, Vice Minister of the State Council Development Research Center of Economic Research, said in an interview with the China Economic Times reporter, the U.S. government to China to take “containment” policy, discrimination and technology export controls, restricting U.S. exports to China, affecting the bilateral trade balance the main reason. China Economic Times: The U.S. repeatedly RMB exchange rate issue, the Sino-US trade imbalance is attributed to the renminbi is “undervalued”, how do you view this issue? Li Zhijun: In recent years, Sino-US trade imbalance to become a very sensitive issue, the United States continued to exert various pressures. In fact, the cause of Sino-US trade imbalance are many reasons, such as the differences of statistical techniques and methods, the manufacturers of other countries moved to the mainland of China engaged in processing trade, and so on. But that the U.S. Government to take the “containment” policy, discriminatory technology export control, restricting U.S. exports to China, affecting the main reason for the bilateral trade balance. China Economic Times: technology export controls protect national security, promote the common means of foreign policy. Can be more specific about this “discriminatory export control? Li Zhijun: contradictions and struggles of the Sino-US bilateral trade balance is a long-term, also a long history of US-China high-tech export control issues. Sino-US relations in 1979, when China’s reform and opening policy, large-scale introduction of advanced technology and equipment from Western countries, the U.S. technology and technology exports, which began. In 1979-1990, the export of U.S. technology and equipment continue to increase the introduction of country-region sorting (contract amount) technology in China, the United States rose from fifth place to first. After the 1990s, a stagnant situation, a series of sanctions that the United States against China in a number related to export controls, the U.S. trade gradually shifted from surplus to deficit. The China Economic Times: The United States in the 1990s laid the IT leader of the new economic structure, the current US-China trade advantage is concentrated in high-tech manufacturing. However, the U.S. government technology export to China in the implementation of strict control policies. Has stressed that the trade deficit with China, on the other hand without relaxation of China on Export Control of such a paradoxical control the U.S. gains and losses geometry? Li Zhijun: China export policies, the impact on bilateral trade balance. This control policy greatly restricted U.S. exports to China, but also its high-tech investment in the field in China has brought a very negative impact, as the development of Sino-US economic and trade cooperation between the constraints. For example, the mid-1980s, China plans to introduce integrated circuits and program-controlled switching technology and equipment, due to the limitations of the U.S. government, U.S. exporters have lost billions of dollars in trade opportunities. In recent years, China still want to buy electronic components and testing equipment from the United States, is the U.S. Government’s discriminatory export controls make U.S. manufacturers lost the opportunity can flourish in our market. China Economic Times: It would appear, to find the balance point of interest of the bilateral economic restructuring, to achieve common development has become a real problem to be solved placed in front of the two governments. What is the effective way to promote Sino-US trade relations are stable and healthy development of that? Li Zhijun: the first clear point is that the product structure of Sino-US trade is complementary and mutually beneficial. Chinese exports to the United States are mainly textiles, clothing, shoes, toys, household appliances and travel bags and other low value-added labor-intensive products. The major U.S. exports to China aircraft, power plants and nuclear power equipment, automotive, chemical, and large construction machinery and computer hardware and software such as energy, transportation and communications infrastructure, as well as grain, cotton and other agricultural products. So, as long as the U.S. government to relax or even cancel the current discriminatory export control policies, a more substantial relaxation of export controls to China high-tech and high-tech products, to allow the U.S. Export-Import Bank to provide soft loans or hybrid loans to support U.S. businesses and enhance their competitive force, U.S. manufacturers have the ability to share in the Chinese market accounted for some more. U.S. capital, technology and management experience with China’s huge market, cheap labor, and resource combining can bring huge benefits to both economies. It should be said that this is the key to Sino-US trade balance is also an effective way to expand Sino-US economic and trade cooperation.
