Ludicrous to let online poll decide HK fate – Global Times Western media claims that China’s central government is facing enormous pressure from the international community because of this poll. However, the West has kept imposing political pressure on Beijing every year. And they will still make waves even if Hong Kong is tranquil. And whenever the West pressures China, is there a positive correlation between the eventual effect and the degree of the pressure? Hong Kong’s opposition groups will find their efforts to convince most of the electorate to be in vain. Even if they can deceive more than half of Hongkongers, Beijing will never compromise on sovereignty-related issues. The simplest reason is that the Basic Law reflects the will of the whole nation as well, and therefore more than 1.3 billion people have the right to speak on Hong Kong’s political reform.
Related: China State Media Calls Hong Kong Vote ‘Mincing Ludicrousness’ – NYTimes.com What impact the Hong Kong vote is having within the Chinese mainland is unclear. But there are indications that some people are aware of it, and there is potential for the debate to spread, given the often intense interest in more democracy in China. Hong Kong-related posts were the most heavily censored on Sina Weibo on Sunday, according to, according to Weiboscope, a Chinese social media data collection and visualization project run by the Journalism and Media Studies Center at the University of Hong Kong. Posts with “voting” and “democracy” followed closely.
Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption drive in China takes autocratic turn – FT.com The message is clear: the authority to decide who is corrupt and who is not is the exclusive domain of Mr Xi and his closest allies. As the purge rumbles on, many of the pundits who initially compared Mr Xi to Deng Xiaoping, the architect of market reforms and modern China, are starting to think he may be more like Mao.//so far he has not mobilized the masses..Mao learned much from studying Chinese imperial history, and was famous for reading the Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance 资治通鉴 many times…perhaps Xi has also taken lessons from imperial court intrigue and history? The brutal Chinese political culture long predates Mao. Of course Xi was influenced by Mao, but the roots of what Xi is doing look to run much deeper. Xi has also been very clear that the Party is doomed if it does not tackle corruption, and he is right. So perhaps he means what he says, though of course these corruption arrests can also bring political benefits
The Debate Over Confucius Institutes | ChinaFile Last week, the American Association of University Professors joined a growing chorus of voices calling on North American universities to rethink their relationship with Confucius Institutes, the state-sponsored Chinese-language programs whose policies critics say are anathema to academic freedom. We asked contributors to discuss the debate. Specifically: the costs and benefits of having a Confucius Institute on a university campus; the economic forces at play; and the role of China in university life more broadly
Related: The price of Confucius Institutes – The Washington Post Washington Post editorial // Many worry about the secrecy of the undisclosed contracts between China and school administrators. Some elite universities, such as Stanford, negotiated restrictions away, but others have not done so. China offers hundreds of thousands — in some cases millions — of dollars, in addition to what the London School of Economics’ institute director calls “a ready-made partner.” But academic freedom cannot have a price tag. Universities should publish their agreements to show there is no possibility of Chinese discrimination and suppression. If they can’t or won’t do so, the programs should end.
Related: China Voice: Fear, ignorance behind calls to stem Confucius Institutes – Xinhua The great Chinese sage Confucius might have pardoned the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) for their criticism of Confucius Institutes might come from either fear of other cultures or ignorance — or both. In a recent statement, the AAUP called on universities to cease their cooperation with the institutes, saying the institutes are “ignoring” academic freedom.// No mention of the investigations into foreign funding of NGOs in China or the general, increasing paranoia about foreigners. Could the US fund “Jefferson Institutes” in China? Perhaps the China Daily author should remember this from Confucius-衛靈公:子貢問曰：「

Related: China’s ‘Sovereign Internet’ | The Diplomat China’s goal for this dialogue would be to codify its own interpretation of “Internet sovereignty” into international law, much as Western countries have been able to codify their idea of “universal values.” The People’s Daily article sees cyberspace as a contested zone where the U.S. wields too much influence; it seeks to combat this by pushing for international consensus modeled on its own vision for the Internet.
Related: China Argues for ‘Internet Sovereignty.’ Is It a Good Idea? – China Real Time Report – WSJ In a full-page spread on the Monday, the Communist Party’s mouthpiece newspaper laid out China’s position on how the Internet and its supporting infrastructure should be dealt with across the globe. The page featured interviews with five Chinese experts, including the so-called “father” of China’s Great Firewall Fan Binxing. The upshot: They believe each country should have ultimate power to determine what Internet traffic flows in and out of its territory. It’s a concept China has termed “Internet sovereignty,” and though the opinions of each expert in the article varied, the core message is that each nation should have the right to govern the Internet as it sees fit.

Ai Weiwei, art without compromise – The Washington Post But he remains as confrontational as ever in his life and art. Of late he has gone from fighting the government to warring with others in China’s art community, criticizing some for surrending too readily to government pressure and censorship. Recently, after his name was left off a press release about an exhibition at Beijing’s influential Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Ai pulled his work from the exhibition and posted transcripts on Instagram of embarrassing conversations with the director about government pressure to omit his name. Then, he went a step further and began taping interviews with other artists about what they thought of the omission, demanding that they choose a side: to stand with him or against him.// Ai Weiwei Interview with Phil Tinari -Instagram Time: 25th May, 2014 Location: UCCA cafeteria Recording method: Video Participants: Philip Tinari Director of UCCA Ai Weiwei (part one) A: So I’m sorry I didn’t even know you were here.

Film | The Road to Fame The Road to Fame tells a unique story of coming-of-age with Chinese characteristics. The film chronicles the staging of the American musical Fame—China’s first official collaboration with Broadway—by the senior class at China’s top drama academy as their graduation showcase. During the eight-month process, five students compete for roles, struggle with pressure from family and authority, and prepare to graduate into a cutthroat and corrupt show business. Part of China’s Single-Child generation, they were spoiled growing up but are now obliged to carry on the failed dreams of their parents. They must confront complex social realities and their own anxieties, and, in the process of staging Fame, negotiate their own definitions of and paths to success in today’s China.
BUSINESS, ECONOMY AND TRADE
Beijing hits out at banks and foreigners as property market bears – FT.com People’s Daily accused property bears of trying to pressure Beijing into relaxing house purchase restrictions, loosening credit and implementing other measures to boost the market. Some analysts have urged more aggressive action such as an interest-rate cut or a loosening of city-level restrictions that prevent buyers from purchasing second and third homes “This way, developers can continue to enjoy profits from high prices and extend their fragile funding chains and house hoarders can also see the wealth they’re sitting on keep increasing,” the paper said. Foreign investment banks also came in for criticism, with analysts at Morgan Stanley and Société Générale singled out for pessimistic assessments.

Challenge of Internet Finance Has Inspired Banks: CMB Executive – Caixin As of March 31, demand deposits have fallen to 33.7 percent of the total in the bank, after having remained steadily above 36 percent for several years. Hu Tao, general manager of CMB’s retail banking department, said CMB is not too worried about losing clients to Internet companies touting greater investment returns, but it conceded the bank faces challenges and needs to innovate services. In a recent interview with Caixin, she said Internet finance has not contributed much to the innovation of financial products, but the way they work and satisfy consumers has inspired traditional banks including CMB and compelled them to do likewise.
Ni hao, y’all: US hinterlands woo Chinese firms – AP Local officials assembled all the public agencies and utilities Golden Dragon will have to deal with — from Alabama Power to the Port of Mobile — in one room on one day so company executives could have their questions answered at once. The message, Day said, was: “If you come here, we’ll hold your hand.” A banquet was organized with both traditional Southern fare, such as pinkeye purple hull peas, and Chinese dishes from Thomasville’s New China Buffet restaurant. When the visiting Chinese were seen devouring homemade banana pudding, “we took them the whole tray,” Day says. To prepare for future banquets, Thomasville is buying Chinese-style dining tables with built-in turntables.
China Ting Says Borrowers Default on Entrusted Loans – Bloomberg The company said it’s seeking legal advice on recovering interest and principal, is working with the lenders through which it made the advances on recovering collateral and may sue the borrowers through the banks. Entrusted loans, in which companies lend money through banks, are part of China’s shadow banking system, estimated by Barclays Plc to be worth about $6.2 trillion. China is seeking to reign in this type of financial activity to prevent defaults from spurring market turmoil.
Vice premier: China backs new global credit rating system – Xinhua China supports the development of a new international credit rating system that is objective, just, rational and balanced, Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli said here on Monday.

Present at the meeting were former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, former Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and former Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov. The international guests are members of the newly founded International Advisory Council for the Universal Credit Rating Group (UCRG), a Hong Kong-based rating organization co-sponsored by China, Russia and the United States.

China HSBC June Flash PMI Shows First Expansion In 6 Months | MNI TAKEAWAY: The flash PMI reading is the latest evidence that economic conditions in China are stabilizing after a difficult start to 2014. The report suggests that the government’s low impact measures to help activity may be paying off in terms of supporting sentiment. The pick-up in activity seen in the report wasn’t backed up by corresponding improvements in either orders or export orders relative to the final May report. Without a substantive improvement in domestic, if not overseas, demand, it’s difficult to see much upside from here.

U.S. prepares for awkward military engagement with China in Hawaii – The Washington Post The People’s Liberation Army of China will participate in the exercise for the first time, sending ships that include the missile destroyer Haikou, the missile frigate Yueyang, the oiler Qiandaohu and the hospital ship Peace Ark. The Chinese were invited to join two years ago by Adm. Samuel Locklear, the chief of U.S. Pacific Command, and will do so now as Chinese President Xi Jinping pushes an overhaul and expansion of the Chinese military. But the engagement, which starts June 26, comes at an awkward time
The Nine-Dashed Line Isn’t China’s Monroe Doctrine | The Diplomat–James Holmes how did the United States comport itself during its rise to nautical eminence? To what uses did it put its burgeoning sea power? Well, for one thing, it never claimed ownership of the greater Caribbean, however much it coveted primacy there. There was no American counterpart to the nine-dashed line. Nor, despite occasional glances toward Cuba and other islands, did Washington regard these jewels of the Caribbean as rightful U.S. property. Nor did any significant school of foreign-policy thought regard southern waters as a seaward extension of the North American landmass. Still less did official policy consider the sea sovereign territory or “blue national soil,” to borrow the ubiquitous Chinese phrase for the near seas. Instead, the Monroe Doctrine was a unilateral directive forbidding European empires to reconquer American republics that had won their independence. The doctrine was popular in Latin America for decades. In 1906, for instance, the Brazilian government constructed Palácio Monroe in Rio de Janeiro. This majestic edifice honored James Monroe’s bequest on the occasion of the Third Pan-American Conference.

China Threat: Air-Sea Battle vs. Offshore Control? | Defense News | defensenews.com Offshore Control, Hammes said, offers an alternative to Air-Sea Battle that is based on affordability with no kinetic operations against mainland China. The dominant phase of fighting would be outside the range of China’s assets. Offshore Control would establish concentric rings that deny China the use of the sea inside the first island chain, defend the sea and air space of the first island chain nations, and dominate the air and maritime space outside the chain.
