HSBC: Wealthy Shanghainese need financial planning services

www.chinanews.cn 2007-04-28 15:51:55

Chinanews, Shanghai, April 28 - HSBC conducted a general survey, finding
most wealthy Shanghainese are more interested in setting up businesses of
their own, and in financial planning services, than wealthy people in
other big cities in the world.
The survey covered Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bombay, Singapore and Sydney.
About 72% of respondents from Shanghai believe operating businesses of
their own is the best symbol of their wealth and success, while some 70%
of all the respondents think health is more important than wealth (the
choice of 62% of them) and properties (the choice of 54% of them).
Shanghainese are interested in financial planning services, particularly
such services offered by banks. 59% of respondents from Shanghai say that
they often consult financial planning agencies on the information of
their latest products, while the figure in Bombay, Hong Kong, Singapore
and Sydney are 49%, 44%, 37% and 28% respectively.

Housing price keeps soaring in Beijing

www.chinanews.cn 2007-04-14 15:03:07

Chinanews, Beijing, April 14 - According to a report by the Market News,
there is a great oversupply of commercial houses in Beijing at present.
Though the houses available in the market can meet the needs all through
2007, their price still keeps rising sharply. Nowadays, it is very
difficult to find houses cheaper than 8,000 yuan per sq m inside the
Fifth Ring Road.
Though the central government have composed a series of regulations to
control the housing price in Beijing, all of them have proved to be
ineffective at all. In last January and February, housing price in
Beijing leapt by nearly 10%.
Actually, the housing market is not that hot as it appears. In the first
two months of this year, only 9,935 and 5,372 houses were sold
respectively, while the figures in 2006 were 13,181 and 9,465
respectively. Obviously, demand does not exceed supply in Beijing's
property market.
"Unreasonable housing prices should definitely be blamed for the drop of
housing market in Beijing," said an expert. "The number of houses sold,
and their coverage are both dropping fiercely."
Take Dongcheng District as an example, where the average price for
ordinary commercial residences is some 21,600 yuan per sq m, but the
average disposable annual income of each resident here is only 20,665
yuan.
"I believe that the government should enhance the exercising of new
regulations to control housing price," said Wang Yumei, a professor of
China University of Political Science and Law.
Another expert think that people with invested-interest in the
overheating housing market are spreading fake information to misguide the
general public and to resist the regulations of the government.

Visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (L front) shakes hands with the
Republic of Korea President Roh Moo-hyun during their meeting in Seoul,
capital of the Republic of Korea, April 10, 2007.

SEOUL, April 11 - Visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met with South
Korean President Roh Moo-hyun on Tuesday afternoon, with both sides
pledging to further bilateral ties.
During the meeting, the leaders vowed to strengthen strategic
communication and promote mutually beneficial cooperation.
They also agreed to make this year, which marks the 15th anniversary of
bilateral diplomatic ties and has been designated the China-South Korea
Exchange Year, a turning point for better relations.
"Thanks to the joint efforts in recent years, political trust between
China and South Korea has been deepened, exchange and cooperation have
been expanded, and coordination in dealing with regional and global
affairs has become closer," Wen said.
The ever-closer ties bring tremendous benefits to the peoples of both
countries and make a significant contribution to peace and development in
the Northeastern Asian region, Wen said.
Roh echoed Wen's comments, saying that through high-level cooperation and
fair competition, both countries could achieve development and maintain
common interests.
After the meeting, the two leaders attended a signing ceremony of four
cooperative documents.
Wen arrived here on Tuesday morning for his first-ever visit as premier
to South Korea. He will leave for Japan on Wednesday and is scheduled to
conclude his two-nation tour on Friday.

Tension over rising ore prices

www.chinanews.cn 2005-04-13 13:35:02

Chinanews, Apr. 12 - China Iron Ore 2005 and the 3rd Far East Steel
Conference were held in Beijing yesterday. Brazil's Companhia Vale do Rio
Doce (CVRD), Australia's Rio Tinto and BlueScope Steel Limited (formerly
BHP Steel Group), the world's largest iron ore producers, China Iron and
Steel Association and sixteen large Chinese steel producers gathered at
the China World Hotel to discuss iron ore prices.
On Feb. 22nd, Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation signed a long-term supply
deal with Brazil's CVRD that included a 71.5% hike in ore prices.
Following the move, Australia's BlueScope Steel Limited demanded the
addition of ocean freight costs to iron ore prices, which aroused
protests from Asian steel producers; the two sides have yet to reach an
agreement.
The conferences provide an opportunity for iron ore suppliers and steel
producers to communicate. During these most recent conferences,
representatives of the Chinese steel industry stated that Chinese steel
producers would rather reduce production than yield to unreasonable ore
prices. They further expressed that China was capable of dealing with a
71.5% price hike; but, short-term profiteering would only harm iron ore
producers, and iron ore prices should drop to a reasonable level.

Potential house buyers in Beijing flocked to the 2005 Beijing Springtime

its house-lending rate again on March 17th, it failed to cool down
Beijing citizens' house-buying craze. According to a survey of former
real estate trade fair participants, 52% were unaffected by the lending
rate hike.

CPI growth rate would be 3%-3.5%

www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-31 13:47:31

Chinanews, Mar. 31 - According to a report recently completed by a
research group of the Research Bureau of the People's Bank of China, in
the first half of this year, China's CPI (Consumer Price Index) growth
rate should reach 3.15% and stay at 3% to 3.5% for the whole year.
The report pointed out that major factors affecting price levels in the
future would be price adjustment of public service products, rapid
increases in residential income and consumption and a lagging PPI
(Producer Price Index). There are other factors. A investment rebound
would result in pressure on prices. A decline in the growth rate of the
currency supply and implementation of prudent currency policies would
have favorable effects on stabilizing prices. A rebound in the
international price level would bring about import inflation pressures.
And, inflation is expected to exist.

RMB appreciation: causes and consequences

www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-21 13:53:42

Chinanews, March 21 - Yesterday morning at the South China University of
Technology, Tang Guoxing, a professor at Fudan University's School of
Management, said that if the RMB appreciated, it would bring disastrous
consequences to both the central and commercial banks, and that about 22
million US dollars of foreign net assets would shrink.
During his talk on the Chinese currency, Tang indicated that the RMB is
facing four types of pressure: a lasting regular payment surplus, a high
yield rate on foreign capital in China, widespread expectations of the
RMB's appreciation, and China's low inflation rate. In Tang's opinion,
the first two factors are long-term and also the most important. Because
the two can't be dispelled, RMB appreciation is unavoidable. He believes
the latter two are short-term factors.
Tang also believes that China's capital inflow has resulted in potential
pressure on the RMB. However, the RMB's appreciation could bring with it
both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include wealth
increases, reduction of the repayment burden on external debts and
promotion of the development of high-level industrial structure. The
disadvantages are primarily the reduction of international
competitiveness and the shrinkage of foreign assets.

Premier urges steady coal supply, work safety

www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-10 09:32:35

(Source: Xinhuanet)

BEIJING, March 9 - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao Wednesday urged China's
leading coal producer, the northern province of Shanxi, to further tap
its producing capacity and ensure steady coal supply for the country
while "resolutely preventing" the occurrence of any major accidents such
as gas explosions.
"Shanxi has an important role to play in the country's coal reserves and
output," said Wen Wednesday afternoon while joining in a panel discussion
of Shanxi lawmakers attending the annual session of the National People's
Congress (NPC), the top Chinese legislature, in Beijing.
Shanxi should strengthen the exploration of coal resources, speed up the
construction of large-sized coalmining bases and further tap the
producing capacity of existing coal mines, to ensure a safe and steady
coal supply that can meet the need of the country's economic development,
Wen told the lawmakers.
Meanwhile, Wen stressed that "nothing is more precious than human lives"
and that "top priority must be given to production safety at the coal
mines".
He called for greater investment to upgrade safety facilities and
infrastructure at the coal mines and a more strict implementation of the
"safety responsibility system", adding that at present the main attention
should be focused on the problem of coal bed gas, the top killer in
China's coalmine accidents.
"We must take more effective measures and resolutely prevent the
occurrence of any major gas-related accidents," said Wen.
Also on Wednesday, other senior Party and state leaders including
Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Wu Bangguo, Vice President Zeng
Qinghong, Vice Premier Huang Ju and Secretary of the Central Commission
for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China Wu Guanzheng
also joined lawmakers from all over the country in panel discussions.
At a panel discussion of the Qinghai provincial delegation to the current
NPC session, Wu Bangguo stressed the importance of adhering to and
further improving the people's congress system, which he called "the most
important channel" for the Chinese people to exercise their power as the
true masters of the country.
Zeng Qinghong exchanged views with the lawmakers from southwest China's
Yunnan Province on the "scientific concept of development" and the fresh
concept of "a harmonious socialist society" endorsedby the top Chinese
leadership.
"Yunnan has an important role to play in promoting the 'Great Development
of the Western Regions' and in safeguarding peace and stability in the
border regions," Zeng noted.
Joining in the discussion of the NPC delegation from south China's
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Huang Ju called on all the lawmakers to
bring their legislative and supervisory roles into full play and
contribute to the building of a socialist legalsystem with Chinese
characteristics.
At the discussion of the Hunan provincial delegation to the NPC session,
Wu Guanzheng urged all leading officials to strictly abide by all
disciplinary rules and regulations of the Party and the government and
always be clean and honest. He also exchanged views with the lawmakers on
issues of how to improve the quality of the law-enforcement personnel and
how to safeguard and promote social justice.

to steadily increase grain output, agricultural efficiency and rural
incomes," says thereport.

China to help certain ethnic minorities shake off poverty

www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-01 12:37:07

Chinanews, Feb. 28 - Mao Gongning, director of the Department of Policy
and Regulation of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, said that the
government was formulating a developmental plan to help ethnic minorities
shake off poverty in six years, from 2005 to 2010. The Chinese government
plans to assist poor ethnic villages that have not had adequate food and
clothing to rise above poverty, help those that have had adequate food
and clothing reach middle-class or higher levels and facilitate fast
growing villages to scale higher economic plateaus.
Mao added that twenty-two of China's fifty-five ethnic minorities have a
total population of 630,000, less than 100,000 each. Most of these 22
groups live in remote areas, which make them the most disadvantaged among
all ethnic minorities. The Chinese government has added the support of
these groups to the Tenth Five-Year Plan, calling for special policies
for ethnic groups whose population is under 100,000.
At the Conference on Scaling-Up Poverty Reduction in 2004, the Chinese
government promised the world that it would strengthen its efforts to
support these twenty-two ethnic minorities, giving priority to poverty
reduction in their regions.

Two US airlines to launch new routes destined for China

www.chinanews.cn 2005-02-24 14:54:51

Chinanews, Washington, Feb.23 (By Sha Donghui) - The U.S. Department of
Transportation preliminarily approved applications filed by two US
airlines to launch two new routes to China.
Continental Airlines is expected to launch a non-stop passenger flight
from the Newark Liberty International Airport near New York to Beijing on
March 25 at the earliest, with one flight each day lasting 13 hours.
American Airlines, the largest airline in the United States, will also
commence operations of a new non-stop flight from Chicago to Shanghai.
On the same day the U.S. Department of Transportation also approved the
launch of another 12 US-China cargo flights every week, allowing FedEx,
UPS, Northwest Airlines and Polar Air Cargo to operate three flights each.
The approval was the fruit of the Sino-US agreement on expanding airline
services, which the two countries signed last June. According to this
agreement, both nations can increase the number of airlines operating
Sino-US routes from the previous 4 to 9, and both can increase the number
of flights from the current 54 to 249 by phases over the next 6 years.

Changbai Mountain of Jilin

www.chinanews.cn 2005-02-21 15:05:42

Changbai Mountain is the most important mountain in the Guandong area,
enjoying equal fame with the Five Sacred Mountains by virtue of its
magical charm and splendid scenery. It is a mysterious and charming
mountain. When the spring breeze brings warmth to this area, thousands of
trees at the foot of the mountain turn green at the same time, while the
mountain peak is still covered by white snow, like a slim and graceful
fairy maiden elegantly standing in the boundless sea of woods, or like a
snow lotus in full bloom, standing out among thousands of green trees.
There are countless natural treasures in the thick forest, with gigantic
ancient trees and vegetation that blot out the sky.

Photos �� "Chocolate car" dazzles Xi'an �� Tokyo International Boat Show displays a "never sinking boat" �� 100,000 people flocked to the Dragon Pond Temple Fair ��Home>>China Observer How should foreign investors manage risks of policy changes in China? www.chinanews.cn 2005-02-16 13:35:10 Chinanews, Feb. 15 - China's macro economic controls in 2004 alarmed some people and industries. However, foreign funded enterprises persisted in following their own judgement and principles of operations, and seized opportunities presented by the macro control policies, thereby obtaining excellent development prospects. There was even optimism that the existing situation of competition among foreign funded enterprises and Chinese funded enterprises could be changed. According to Sun Hongwei, president of Rong International's China office, the scientific development view will dominate the Chinese economy. Guided by this view, the Chinese government will gradually add to its understanding of market behavior, reduce use of administrative measures, and find an effective way of implementing economic policies suitable in the Chinese context and also in line with international standards. Foreign investors should try to understand trends in the Chinese market against this backdrop. As to how foreign investors should manage risks of policy changes in China at a time of economic changes, Sun made several suggestions as follows: Firstly, a number of major foreign investors have their own professional research teams and theories directed at the Chinese market. However, most foreign investors do not have such proprietary resources. Therefore, it would make all the difference for them to have effective and professional advice from an independent consulting firm. They can get advice from independent foreign-funded research institutes, local consulting groups, the investors themselves, and government publications. Secondly, when confronting the policy adjustment and trend of changes, foreign-funded enterprises should gradually develop their ability of forming independent opinions, have a clear understanding of the essence of China's economic policies and rely on their own judgment in handling their own investment portfolios. Thirdly, foreign-funded enterprises should gradually retreat from speculative activities. In the near future, speculative behavior of foreign-funded enterprises would be directly hit by macro-controls and various related macro economic policies. Some privately-run enterprises have already been clamped down by such policies. This is a reminder for foreign-funded enterprises to minimize speculation and reduce capital risk. Moreover, they should also strive to seek the best investment vehicle. Recently, China's reforms of state-owned enterprises constantly involved offering an olive branch to foreign investors. According to Sun Hongwei, the Chinese government is currently willing to sacrifice part of its benefits in exchange for internationally advanced management experience and operations. For foreign investors, this is the best way to enter the Chinese market. He felt that the best choice for foreign investments to enter the Chinese market is to actively participate in the government-mandated industrial integration, as long as they do not violate China's economic principles.

According to statistics that China News had obtained earlier, the country's private enterprises showed a trend of rapid expansion and were becoming more closely connected to the mainstream society. This authoritative survey was the sixth of its kind. It showed that by the end of the first half of 2004, there were 3.34 million registered private enterprises in China, an increase of 1.31 million over 2001. Areas with the most rapid development and largest number of private enterprises were mainly located in the eastern coastal region. In particular, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shandong and Beijing took the top six spots, with over half of China's private companies. Currently in full expansion, private companies are growing pluralistic in main industrial sectors while emerging in many other sectors as well due to easier market access. In addition to the rapidly increasing proportion of those in new sectors such as social services as well as scientific research and technology, 4% of private firms are in education, culture, health and sports, and 1.6% are in public utilities such as electricity and gas. Moreover, headquarters and production bases are gradually moving from rural and suburban areas to large cities.

Russia to build oil pipeline to China

www.chinanews.cn 2005-02-02 15:12:49

Chinanews, Feb.2 - The mist surrounding the secretive visit of Russia's
Minister for Industry and Energy, Viktor Khristenko, to China in January
has finally been cleared. The reason for Mr. Khristenko's visit, acting
as envoy of the Russian government, is to promise the Chinese government
that Russia would build an offshoot of its Siberian oil pipeline to
China, following Russia's earlier announcement that the Siberian pipeline
would not target China's Daqing as its destination.
During a weekend in the middle of last month, Victor Khristenko led the
Russian Petroleum Company to make a low-key visit to China. The content
of this secret visit had remained undisclosed. However, Mr. Khristenko
recently revealed the underlying reasons for his visit at a press
conference that was held after his return to Russia. When asked if any
consensus was reached between the Russian and Chinese sides, Mr.
Khristenko said, "the President and Premier's decisions will be carried
out. Oil will flow toward China."
What deserves special attention here is the phrase "flow toward" that was
used by Mr. Khristenko, which indicates that Russia will transport oil to
China by pipelines instead of rail. Generally speaking, it is much more
efficient and safer to transport oil by pipelines than by rail.
Russia's prior focus was to use railways to transport oil, but in
reality, this method was unable to meet the surging domestic demand for
petroleum in China. Russian state-owned Rosneft Petroleum Company
revealed on January 31st that they would be taking the place of domestic
private oil giant Yukos that had been monopolizing oil shipments to China
and would be sending 50,000 tons of oil to China by rail for the first
time.
It is believed by some people that the Russian minister visited China
secretly this time with the direct objective of reassuring China after
its disappointment with the Putin government over the Siberian oil
pipeline issues.
