The old British Empire from the free trade theory to today’s globalization theory, economic history of mankind, all the hegemonic discourse seems to be the foundation.

For those of “globalization” as a mantra of economists, just as the status of God, religious society, globalization is sacrosanct, is self-evident truth. For example, right before our eyes the computer, CPU from the United States, a core component of LCD from Japan, but also assembled in China and, finally, the software loaded on the United States, evidence, this is not globalization, what is it? !

“New York Times” columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman, “The World is Flat,” a book was Luoyangzhigui occasion fired a total break some discordant notes theme of the globalization of multinational production – just as the late nineteenth century, “two dark clouds over physics” like (each refers to the Ethernet in the light of classical physics and Maxwell – Boltzmann equipartition doctrinal problems encountered, the crisis eventually led to the twentieth century, the great revolution in physics), this theory of globalization is also suspended the two over the “ominous cloud.” (more…)

Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Dean  Fan the author pointed out that China has never been like this all of a sudden pushed to the center of the world stage. However, China does not seem ready to play the role of world-class.

The article said that China’s foreign policy still lacks a complete set of grand strategy to reflect changes in the interest of China, but no global vision and layout arrangements. In a number of global and regional hot issues, China is often a lack of a coherent strategic vision system, sometimes hesitant, vague attitude in dealing with political, security and lack of coordination of economic policies, sometimes even contradictory information transfer. This increases the real intentions of the international community’s suspicion of China is not conducive to the maintenance of China’s national interests. (more…)

Introduction

The Chinese economy is booming, posting an average annual growth rate of 10 per 100 from 1990. According to the World Bank, it is the fourth largest in the world and China is affirmed, without a shadow of a doubt as industrial power ( 1 ). Economic growth, the primary objective of the Chinese central government, is based primarily on coal, an abundant source of energy and affordable but also highly polluting. In fact, coal now accounts for 69 per 100 of consumption primary energy in China, compared to 11 per 100 in Canada ( 2 ). (more…)

Everyone knows that China lacks regulations in its financial markets, and that enforcement of existing laws and regulations in the securities market is less than desirable for investors.  And people have feared and predicted disastrous free fall of the securities market due to these regulatory weaknesses.  Further, people have been waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Yet, the markets have been up, and quite a few investors do put their money into the Chinese exchanges.  So, what exactly is going on?  Do the correlations between regulation, enforcement, and the health of financial market, familiar to the West, not apply in China?  That is the question on the mind of two Columbia Law School professors, Benjamin Liebman and Curtis Milhaupt, according to this Economist report.

This poem has remained one of my favorites, throughout my education in China. In college in the city of Wuhan, I passed by the truly spectacular Yellow Crane Tower hundreds of times while commuting to and fro Hankou, marveling at its beauty and historical significance. It looks beautiful when you observe it on the First Bridge over the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang, for Chinese readers), as it sits on the Snake Hill, stretching into the clouds over the ever grand Wuhan stretch of the Yangtze. Before I get carried away with nostalgia and poetry, I’d better move on to Chinese business law. Luckily, I get to return to the “Yellow Crane Tower” for this post on cybersquatting law in China.

Naturally, TCTTC took Mr. Deng to court, in the Wuhan Intermediate People’s Court.

TCTTC sued Deng for trademark infringement in the form of cybersquatting. Since the central issue here is whether Deng’s registration of the domain names using the TCTTC’s registered word mark constitutes trademark infringement, Several Explanations on Domain Name Civil Disputes (“Domain Name Explanations”) issued by the China Supreme People’s Court apply in this instance.

Over the past several weeks, I have spoken to literally thousands of students, university professors and corporate executives about China and doing business here. Not surprisingly, interest in the country has never been higher.

China’s continued economic growth and the upcoming Olympics are two obvious reasons, but my sense is that China watchers have begun to realize that China is in transition, and they have a myriad of questions about how the country is evolving. China, the land of low labor costs and the world’s manufacturer of cheap, low technology products is giving way to a new China:  that is rapidly moving up the value added chain and becoming a large producer of more sophisticated, higher margin products.

This upward movement in manufacturing is being driven by four factors: higher wages, higher raw material prices, an appreciating yuan, and government policies which have reduced tax rebates for exports. The effect has been to drive China’s manufacturers out of low-technology, highly labor intensive products where profits are already low and are being squeezed, and into higher technology, more sophisticated products with higher profit margins.

As the subprime woes continue to grab headline worldwide, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets (Working Group) released its Policy Statement on Financial Market Developments in March 2008.  In this 17-page document, the Working Group identifies and discusses the many causes of the subprime crisis, and it recommends specific measures to be taken by regulators and financial institutions in the wake of the subprime issue.

Reading through the document, I found it to be “hard” reading since the intended audience is people in the financial business.  But, it is still worthwhile to find out more about what happened and what should be done, rather than solely focusing on the consequences of mistakes made in the financial markets.

China Environmental Law Blog, written by Charlie McElwee, an international environmental & energy lawyer based in Shanghai. I’m going to add it to my blogroll!

The environment gets a lot of attention these days, in America, in Europe, and even in China. Indeed, it is a global issue for us all. But, it is really personal matter as well.

Growing up in the countryside in Shaanxi Province, I never heard about pollution, water or air. Throughout my primary and secondary education, I always took clean air, water, blue skies, and wild life around me for granted. Never had to worry about pollution. All I needed to worry about was my grades, mean teachers, parents’ “look” and girls. All of that changed when I moved to Wuhan, an industrial city of about eight (8) million souls, many many smokestacks, countless suffocating buses, cars, and “Mamus” (loving name given by the Wuhanese for three-wheeled motorcycles). Blue skies and stars became a rarity in the city; the lovely East Lake snakes around my college campus, and is the largest lake situated inside a Chinese city. But it was (probably still is) so polluted that its greenish water kills just about anything, and its stench shortens any romantic walk along its sleepy, whispering shores. The drinking water was scary, now that I’m writing about it. The students were told that the sources of our drinking water were a combination of the Yangtze River and the life-killing East Lake, and mostly from the Yangtze River any way… (more…)

The China Daily mentioned in an article last week ( h/t  to China Digital Times today) that some of China’s new ideas for a food safety system won’t just be suggestions: they are being drafted into a new law.

Well, I have many thoughts regarding this sort of a law.  First, it is very encouraging that the government is stepping up to the plate regarding food safety regulation.  Standards are fine, but laws are required if you want broader enforcement.  Will this law have any real teeth?  Only time will tell.  (Charlie Mc Elwee and I had some discussion about enforcement of China’s new environmental laws, and the conclusion was the same: we can only hope that enforcement steps up)  But it is a very positive step in terms of possible enforcement.
