| | | China's Soft Power | | 2008-07-16 18:36:00 | | Billboard promotes the Rolling Stones, 'A Bigger Bang' concert in Shanghai.As is frequently the case, discussions on China’s growth and influence are mostly limited to concerns about military matters. This other side of China’s growth, known as soft power or “Charm Offensive” relates to their rapidly expanding economy and cunning investment strategies. Indeed, over the past two decades China has been totally transformed, having undergone the most comprehensive national metamorphosis in modern history. Mostly impoverished in 1976 after Mao’s reign, it has emerged into one of the worlds most dynamic economies.Trying to get a grip on how powerful China is — especially when the nebulous, unquantifiable concept of 'soft power' is brought into the discussion — is quite difficult writes Malcolm Cooke.

It may not"deadly" as such, but certainly require a keen concentration on driving, as the rock walls in many of them are not known to be a forgiving substance. Whoah!!!Hoho!Just see that cliff...Looks like a cave to me..The road shown here is the Guoliang Tunnel in Taihang mountains (China).

That cry and the invention of the “transfer printing process” made inexpensive, artful plates, dishes and cups and saucers available to the public.

Before, only Chinese citizens who were permanent residents of a foreign country, or those with special permission for business or cultural exchanges, could visit the island.

Witnesses said the shining red item, which was about 10 kilometers high and three kilometers long, moved slowly across the sky and its lights gradually faded as it passed over the city.The last visit of a UFO to the Jiangsu city occurred at about 5pm on January 10, 2006 when an orange V-shaped UFO with a long tail was seen near the northern side of the Purple Mountain and over the city's Jiangning and Jiangpu districts, said Wang.

| | | China, Iran, and the Denuclearization of North Korea | | 2008-06-26 20:22:36 | | IHT: U.S. to remove North Korea from terror list
Background
As part of a denuclearization deal, North Korea today handed over 60 pages of information on its nuclear power and nuclear weapons program. The move was an important step in the process of the dismantlement of the North’s nuclear program. In return, President Bush announced that his administration would remove the country from its list of state sponsors of terrorism and end some sanctions ‘symbolically’.
As said above, this action was only a part of a major denuclearization deal. The agreement came as a result of direct negotiations with North Korea in early 2007 under a new policy from the Bush Administration. The previous policy had limited engagement with North Korea, and stressed isolation and sanctions. However, in 2006, the President defied hawks in his administration and enacted a new policy towards the North, launching full fledged talks with North Korea: 6 party negotiations between North Korea, the host Chin | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |
| | News: Richard Gere driving from Hollywood to Tibet. Fiat ad upsets China. | | 2008-06-26 03:49:29 | | This month, The Road we have Italy in the spotlight. Italy as in "the place I live in", as in "the place I love", but also as in "the place that makes me chuckle".
Here is an example why:
Italian car maker Fiat apologised to China for a television commercial starring US actor Richard Gere. Fiat acknowledged it "could disturb the sensibility of the Chinese people".
The ad shows Gere, a long-time supporter of the Tibetan Independence Movement, drive the group's new Lancia Delta model from Hollywood to Tibet, where he and a child dressed as a Buddhist monk plunge their hands into fresh snow.
The slogan that runs with the ad is "The power to be different".
The Italian car maker stressed that its advertising had "never been driven by or based on political choices or by a desire to interfere with the internal political system of any country, especially the People's Republic of China".

| | China’s Visa Policy Threatens Olympics Tourism | | 2008-06-25 03:15:00 | | With the Beijing Olympics less than two months away, hotel operators, travel agencies, and foreign businessmen say new Chinese visa restrictions are proving bad for business, casting a pall over Beijing during what was supposed to be a busy and jubilant tourist season leading up to the Olympic Games.Chinese authorities acknowledged putting new visa restrictions in place in May — after foreign embassies reported fewer visas being granted and tighter, sometimes seemingly arbitrary, restrictions. The government did not release guidelines detailing the changes in policy; it often does not. But a foreign ministry spokesman, Qin Gang, said in May that they would be temporary.On Monday, Hu Bin, a visa official at the foreign ministry, said the ministry had no statistics on the number of visa denials, but that the new policies were put in place for “security considerations.”

He said he was at Chaotianmen Square and shot the picture at about 8:47pm.The UFO was green and yellow color, according to the report. It was bigger than half a football field and had many holes like doors and windows, according to the report.Chaotianmen Square had a laser light show from 8:40pm to 9pm that night, the city's lighting authority said, according to the report.Wu Zhilun, chairman of the Chongqing Astronomy Association, examined the UFO pictures and said it was probably an illusion. Wu told Xinhuanet that it was difficult to determine if He's photo was related to extra terrestrials.He said he used a Sony F717 camera to take the photos.``I took pictures at Chaotianmen Square for about one hour and didn't feel anything special,'' He told Xinhuanet.com.

Here’s a quick one. If it hasn’t gained official status yet, it will soon. Yet another source reports that China has now “officially” and “clearly” surpassed the United States as the world’s leading emitter of purported climate warming gases.
“Worse, China's emissions are likely to continue growing substantially for years to come because they are tied to the country's strong economic growth and its particular mix of industry and power sources, the researchers said.” Read the rest here
It is now estimated that China's CO2 emissions are about 14% higher than those of the U.S. putting it at the top of the list of CO2 emitting countries with about a quarter (24%) share in total global CO2 emissions. Imagine of you will, the likely Chinese figure in say, 2025?

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Beijing, known as Nantang to locals, has been refurbished to embrace religious followers from the world over. "Beijing Administration for Religious Affairs allocated a special fund for renovation of the church because of the Olympics being held in the city," said Father Han Wensheng at the cathedral. "There are new floor tiles in the west courtyard, as well as a new wall and revamped chairs."

| | Made in China gets even more toxic | | 2008-06-20 03:26:00 | | Remember what happened to the toys ‘outsourced’ to China by US toy giant Mattel? They were recalled – as they contained toxic chemicals. Now, after Mattel, it’s the turn of Hamleys, Britain’s biggest toy store, to withdraw children’s jewellery imported from China. Reason? The jewellery contained alarmingly high levels of lead – that could damage the brain, and even become fatal. London’s The Sunday Times claimed that out of 24 units of children’s jewellery bought (in London and Birmingham) as many as eight tested positive for high levels of lead. Of these eight, six had one or more components with more than 80% lead; the recommended international safety limit is 0.06%. In media reports, Paul Currie, trading director at Hamleys, was quoted as saying: “High levels of lead in children’s jewellery are totally unacceptable because this is a product that comes into contact with children.” What’s going on guys?

Boycotting the Olympic Games goes against the spirit of concord of the games, Moratinos told a joint press conference with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi after their talks. Moratinos said an official Spanish delegation will attend the opening ceremony of the games on Aug. 8. Yang thanked Spain's support for the Olympic Games and said he is against politicizing the event.

| | Things to do in China at the Olympics | | 2008-06-17 00:59:55 | | One other thing that China has recently been known for besides the fact that they will be Olympics hosts this 2008 is that they produce millions and millions of imitation, counterfeit and sometimes replica products. There has already been a comical yet true "saying" with regard to China's industrial power and it goes like "God made the earth, everything else is made in China!" Sad, funny and almost true. Presently, most products you may see on your market shelves will bear the mark made in China.When you go to China this year, it will be an opportunity for you to snap up on some really neat and cheap stuff that you have see back home to sell for hundreds of dollars like original designer sunglasses. In the U.S., it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell counterfeit products but you violate no law when you buy a replica. Sometimes, counterfeit and replica are often mistaken for the same thing but there's a big difference.

Recientemente leí una revista National Geographic dedicada enteramente a la China, y cristalizó para mí muchas de mis inquietudes y mis esperanzas por ese país que me hospeda 9 de cada 12 meses. Aquí les dejo mi opinión, pueril y superficial tal vez, pero igualmente sentida.Lo que me preocupa de China:la urbanización desbocada - Como en otras partes del mundo en China ha habido una fuerte migración del campo hacia las ciudades. En Tianjin, cuando llegamos en 2001, nuestra ruta cada día al colegio era entre campos cultivados, viveros de tomates, y sembradíos de árboles frutales. Hoy esa misma ruta es entre edificios y urbanizaciones para la clase media alta. La población china es enorme, y si se convierte en una población urbana, ¿quién quedará en el campo para cultivar las toneladas de comida que se requieren a diario para alimentar a ese ge | | By: El Anecdotario de Fitzianita | | |

| | CHINA: 'Food Scarcity Creating New World Order' | | 2008-06-04 17:06:00 | | BEIJING, Jun 4 (IPS) - Unprecedented food scarcity is beginning to dictate the rules of a new political order where individual countries are scrambling to secure their own food supplies with little concern for the rest of the world, says the founder of the Earth Policy Institute. Recent manifestations of national food insecurity like export restrictions imposed by some grain-producing countries are the troublesome portents of an "entirely new chapter in the book of food security," Lester Brown told foreign correspondents in Beijing on Tuesday. "We are in the midst of the most severe food crisis in the world’s history," Brown said. "This is not your mother’s food shortage... but a chronically tight food situation, a serious and long-term problem.’’ Politicians have been meeting in Rome to find global solutions to soaring food prices and civil unrest caused by food shortages, but in reality many countries are already acting unilaterally to secure supplies for the future.
