China's new leader knows the global message

[SAT]

"We both follow free and open economic and trade policies, reject trade protectionism and work to advance economic globalization," Wen told a business conference on the sidelines of the summit.

The Chinese leader said he believed Europe would be able to overcome its debt crisis and that China would continue to play a role by investing in European debt.

Speaking at the opening of a trade fair in southern China for Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members, Vice President Xi said China's own prosperity could only be guaranteed by having good relations with its neighbors.

"The more progress China makes in development and the closer its links with the region and the world, the more important it is for the country to have a stable regional environment and a peaceful international environment," Xi said.

"Having gone through numerous vicissitudes in modern times, we are deeply aware of the importance of development and how valuable peace is," he added, according to state media.

Re: China's new leader knows the global message

And the religious part of the global message???

For decades, Beijing has maintained that the Dalai Lama is a separatist, but Tibet's exiled spiritual leader once had a special relationship with the father of Xi Jinping, the man in line to become China's next president.

Few people know what Xi, whose ascent to the leadership is likely to be approved at a Communist Party congress later this year, thinks of Tibet or the Dalai Lama.

But his late father, Xi Zhongxun, a liberal-minded former vice premier, had a close bond with the Tibetan leader who once gave the elder Xi an expensive watch in the 1950s, a gift that the senior party official was still wearing decades later.

Very good finds SAT.
It is one of the most interesting things happening outside of Israel, that so much of the world, even the communist world, is going for a one world order.

The Chinese leader said he believed Europe would be able to overcome its debt crisis and that China would continue to play a role by investing in European debt.

Funny on several fronts. I don't think these world "leaders" are even capable of thinking other than debt. "Overcoming its debt crisis" simply means figuring out a way to keep this facade of an economy going, a little longer.

It is funny, Issachar. Who would have guessed that holding each others debt and business with each other would be the glue that would hold us to each other. A sign of cooperating with the OWO. Wow!


Talk about taking God's prinicipals and laws and flipping it.

North Korea gets lukewarm reception to investment plea

North Korea got a lukewarm reception to a plea on Wednesday for investment in two special economic zones set up with China, with businesses expressing worries about the impoverished state's stability and lack of basic infrastructure like banks

She nodded her head vigorously when asked if she thought it was risky investing in such an isolated and backward country.

China must reform or risk crisis, experts warn new leader

China risks economic malaise, deepening unrest and ultimately even a crisis that could shake the Communist Party's grip on power unless its next leader, Xi Jinping, pushes through stalled reforms, experts close to the government have warned.

"China is confronting a perilous jump, one that it can neither hide from nor avoid no matter what," said the paper from the group, which includes academics, company executives, government policy-advisers and some officials.

"China's economic and social contradictions seem to be nearing a threshold," prominent Chinese economist Wu Jinglian said in a recent interview with Caijing business magazine.

Kissinger offers wise words on China
October 9

The new generation, Kissinger said, faces a “transformation over the next 10 years” of moving “400 million people from the countryside into the cities.” This will involve not just technical infrastructure problems but a change of values and also a change in the role of the Communist party, he said.

Kissinger said he had spoken to Xi Jinping, the expected next Chinese president, and believes he will seek such enormous internal changes that “it’s unlikely that in 10 years the next generation will come into office with exactly the same institutions that exist today.

Re: China's new leader knows the global message

China's outgoing leader and his likely successor are pushing the ruling Communist Party to adopt a more democratic process this month for choosing a new leadership, sources said, in an attempt to boost its flagging legitimacy in the eyes of the public.

The Communist Party, which has held unbroken power since 1949, is struggling to maintain its popular legitimacy in the face of rising inequality, corruption and environmental degradation, even as the economy continues to bound ahead.

Re: China's new leader knows the global message

"This is an historic time to be watching China politically now," says Nicholas Consonery, Asia analyst for Eurasia Group, a global political risk research and consulting firm. "The Communist Party, which has been in charge since 1949, is going to see a big transition in the entire leadership of the party."

Consonery says the changes are wide and deep -- the equivalent in the U.S. to a change in the presidency, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Supreme Court and the governorships of most or all the states, all at once.

"It's not just change at the top of the party, but the whole party structure," adds Consonery.
