THE ESSENTIAL EIGHT
1. U.S., China appear to get little done in removing economic barriers | Reuters so what are the big “deliverables” for Xi’s visit in September? // The United States and China urged each other on Wednesday to remove barriers to foreign investment, saying that business ties were vital to overall relations, although they appeared to achieve little beyond rhetoric at a high profile three-day meeting that was overshadowed by security rivalries.
Related: China Agrees to Limit Currency Interventions, Jacob Lew Says – WSJ China has committed to limiting its currency interventions to moves countering damaging swings in exchange rates, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Wednesday after high-level talks with top officials visiting from Beijing. The commitment, agreed upon in the annual round of U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue negotiations, narrows the conditions under which China says it would be willing to manage the value of the yuan.
Related: Commentary: Focus on common interests conducive to better China-U.S. ties – Xinhua As everyone knows, territorial disputes in the South China Sea have never impeded the free passage of vessels, let alone key shipping lanes there. And China, as a major trading nation in the region, has more reasons than any other to maintain navigation freedom on the South China Sea. The United States, which is not a claimant to the South China Sea disputes, should stop its lopsided approach of exerting pressure on China while pampering other claimants like Vietnam and the Philippines. But that does not mean Beijing will not welcome a constructive role by Washington in Asia, since Chinese President Xi Jinping made it clear that the Asia-Pacific is vast enough to accommodate both countries. A smooth development of China-U.S. ties is a boon not only for the two countries, but for the whole world, and any serious setback in their relations will be a cause for worldwide concern. It is hoped that Washington is on the same page with Beijing in building a new type of relationship between major countries which features win-win cooperation and mutual respect, instead of confrontation and zero-sum games.
2. 央行主管报纸刊文:本月或已无降息降准可能 PBoC’s newspaper says likely no chance of rate or RRR cuts this month // 《金融时报》专家组成员、国际金融问题专家赵庆明也表示,可能近期不会有大动作,本月已无降息、降准可能,央行可能会继续观察前期政策措施的效果。
3. China to scrap commercial banks’ loan-to-deposit ratio | Reuters The removal of the restriction will “strengthen ability of financial institutions to lend more to the agriculture sector and small businesses”, the State Council said in an online statement. Analysts said shares in Chinese banks, including top lenders Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd , China Construction Bank Corp , Agricultural Bank of China Ltd and Bank of China Ltd , would likely rise as a result. As China steps up its financial reforms, its central bank has cut interest rates three times in the last seven months in a bid to lower borrowing costs, while giving banks more flexibility over how much they pay depositors, which has hit bank earnings as lenders face competitive pressure to pay more for deposits.

4. Allies in Asia Welcome U.S. Progress on Trade Deal – The New York Times China, which is not among the 12 nations negotiating the deal and had proposed a competing agreement, refrained from criticizing the vote. For Mr. Obama, the deal, which appeared headed toward passage on Wednesday, represents an important element of the so-called pivot to Asia to help maintain United States influence as countries grow increasingly dependent on trade with China. For American allies, it offers the political cover to commit to trade concessions, removing the risk that Congress might reject the negotiated deal.
5. Children of Migrant Parents Left Alone to Die-Caixin “Increasing numbers of rural people are leaving home for a better life,” said Wu Zhihui, director of the Rural Education Institution at Beijing Normal University. “But their children are being sacrificed.” Indeed, according to the government-backed advocacy group All-China Women’s Federation, more than 61 million children in rural areas nationwide were growing up without parents in 2013. That figure represented a more than 150 percent increase from 2010. Not only do these children lack parental protection and love, but some experts say youngsters who live in these kinds of divided families often suffer adverse psychological effects.
6. Second woman PLA major general under corruption investigation | South China Morning Post PLA major general Dong Youxin, 54, who is deputy director of the Information Department of the PLA’s General Staff Department and a vice-president of the All-China Women’s Federation, was detained by the military’s anti-graft watchdog for allegedly taking 7 million yuan (HK$8.86 million) in bribes, one of the sources said….A source close to the Jinan military area command said that both Dong and Gao were seen as members of the PLA’s “Henan Gang”, allegedly led by General Jia Tingan…”If the top anti-graft watchdog dares to investigate Jia, the former secretary of ex-president Jiang Zemin, that means they’re going to root out all of Jiang’s influence in the army.”

8. How to Save the U.S.-China Relationship – Evan Osnos -The New Yorker Even after four decades, American officials are sometimes startled when Chinese counterparts pose basic questions about American governance. A senior official told me recently, “That clearly expresses a kind of curiosity, along the lines of, ‘How does it really work here?’ Which you can read as a heartening curiosity about the other guy, and what that means for the possibility of interactions down the road.” But, he added, “It’s also frightening, given the possibility of conflict.” We are entering a more dangerous era, in which neither side can afford to misread the other. // And the US knows even less about Chinese decision-making now…One issue that needs to be addressed in all the talk about the future of the US-China relationship is what if Beijing really believes that the US is in terminal decline and so will see any of the suggested accommodations as just signs of US weakness and proof of the belief that the US is in decline?

Rally resumed, or dead cat bounce? – FT.com Gavekal Dragonomics suggests that rather than a crash, there could be a rotation into the laggards of recent months, in particular banks. Banks and a couple of property companies are the only dual-listed stocks priced similarly in both Hong Kong and China (the average dual-listed stock is a quarter higher on the mainland). Logic suggests a shift. But logic had little to do with China’s market boom, and is unlikely to have much to do with the eventual bust.

Those policies were enacted from 1985 to 2013. The comments would be used to help experts at the State Council clean up outdated regulations and rewrite those needing updating, the cabinet said.

FOREIGN AND DEFENSE AFFAIRS
China set to bolster space security, nuclear capacity: Draft law – Xinhua Chinese lawmakers are mulling the inclusion of security of China’s activities and assets in space, on the international sea bed and in polar regions in a draft law, the latest move to improve the legal framework protecting national security. The draft national security law — tabled for a third reading on Wednesday by the top legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, — said China would “peacefully explore and exploit outer space, international sea bed areas and polar regions”. The country will build entry and exit security, develop scientific capacity, enhance international cooperation, and safeguard activity and asset security on “new strategic frontiers”, it read.
China’s New Military Strategy: “Winning Informationized Local Wars” | The Jamestown Foundation In China’s approach to military affairs, the military strategic guideline represents China’s national military strategy. It provides authoritative guidance from the Central Military Commission (CMC) of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for all aspects of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) combat-related activities. Since the establishment of the People’s Republic in 1949, China has issued eight strategic guidelines (军事战略方针). The 2015 Defense White Paper reveals that a ninth change has occurred (Xinhua, May 26). The new guidelines shift the goal of China’s military strategy from “winning local wars under the conditions of informationization” to “winning informationized local wars.” The change in the strategic guidelines reflects an evolution of the existing strategy, not a dramatic departure.

What the West should know about Xi Jinping, China’s most powerful leader since Mao-Jonathan Fenby If he faces a choice between economic modernisation and party control, Xi is likely to choose protecting the second – in line with his condemnation of the Gorbachev experiment in the Soviet Union – as he steps forward as the strongman who defends the PRC’s Leninist form of bureaucratic state capitalism. But that in turn would cramp the development and modernisation necessary to perpetuate the Communist Party’s claim to rule. Such contradictions will shape China in the coming decade and, given the country’s global impact, will weigh heavily on the world. // We will find out…I don’t think Xi believes this is a contradiction that can not be managed…perhaps his apparent renewed focus on dialectical materialism helps him sleep at night instead of agonizing over this? Overall this is a useful, long piece, occasional hyperbole like this aside: “After being abolished officially in 2002, class warfare has reappeared as a mantra in state media, along with Mao’s “mass line” – to ensure conformity under the leadership “…If you want to understand the “mass line” under Xi, which has had nothing to do with the masses or Maoist mass movements, read this from Alice Miller. As for the “reappearance” of “class warfare”, what party publications besides CASS newspaper and Red Flag Manuscript have had any serious (and very infrequent) discussions of “taking class struggle as the key link”?
“中国崩溃论”:西方的意识形态武器 commentator in latest Red Flag Manuscript says the “China Collapse Theory” is a western ideological weapon // 历经30余年的改革开放,中国已经成为现实国际体系的推动者和建设者,亦有意与西方发达国家达致良性互动,成为这些国家的伙伴而非对手。然而,面对中国的和平崛起,西方还是对中国采取了遏制策略。但在选择遏制中国的路径时,他们已不再更多采用20世纪中后期对中国经济、政治和军事的“刚性遏制”政策。因为,对中国的“刚性遏制”,只能强化中国的独立自主和反西方倾向,无助于达到其 “教化”中国的目的。“刚性遏制”的低效,促使西方摒弃以往咄咄逼人的“攻势”战略,转而选择“柔性”策略。在意识形态领域制造关于中国的妖魔性话语,就是西方遏制中国策略之首选。而“中国崩溃论”就是西方意识形态妖魔化中国的话语载体之一。
Melbourne suburbs property packages China-style: house, land and a visa International property expos in China’s main cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are filling up with Australian developers and middlemen, vying for cashed-up Chinese investors. Many make misleading claims about converting Australian property into the ‘PR’ prize. Almost all, including JLF, have teams of lawyers, immigration agents and bank lenders who play on the desire of mainland Chinese investors to plan for their kids, escape the poor air quality and diversify their assets in the face of growing economic uncertainty, especially in the property market. President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign is accelerating the search abroad.

When clients asked if there was only one cable connection, it said the problem was related to a power outage. It is unclear why Aliyun provided the differing explanations.

String of youth violence cases shocks nation – China Daily A string of violent incidents involving minors has caused many people to question whether more attention should be given to the moral, rather than academic, development of China’s youth.
