THE ESSENTIAL EIGHT
1. Hong Kong Police Detain 9 After Finding Cache of Suspected Explosives – NYTimes Some of the suspects arrested on Monday belong to a radical faction of Hong Kong’s “localist” activists, the public broadcaster RTHK reported, citing unnamed police sources. These groups generally call for a free election of the city’s leader and reject the growing mainland Chinese influence in the city. Some of their members have confronted mainland Chinese shoppers in earlier protests. // Whether real local terrorists or agent provocateurs, the situation in Hong Kong is getting uglier and uglier and there does not seem to be a reason to expect that trend to change, sadly
Related: Hong Kong’s Activist Social Media Culture Under Threat | The Diplomat A series of controversial arrests of social media activists in Hong Kong since last year’s Occupy Central movement has raised concerns that the government is exploiting the flawed cyberlaw to suppress political speech online in a period of intensifying social and political tensions. On May 29, Tam Tak-chi, leader of the radical democratic coalition People Power, was arrested for a Facebook post that authorities argued “incited others to commit illegal acts” during road the funeral of Beijing loyalist Yeung Kwong’s body. He was later released on bail and believed the arrest was to warn him not to participate in the June 4 vigil, the Legislative Council’s vote on the political reform package, and the July 1 march.
2. Motherland: In Search of Missing Girlhoods-Caixin Two Americans, adopted as babies from China, returned to their hometowns in Jiangsu to find out how daughters in rural China grow up.
3. China Tightens Margin Financing Rules: Great For Haitong, GF Securities -Barrons China Securities Regulatory Commission said investors need to have a minimum daily balance of 500,000 yuan ($80,000) securities assets in the last 20 trading days to take margin loans. The securities regulator also said the size of margin finance balance at each broker may not exceed four times of their net capital. This new rule is by no means draconian. The 4x net capital number has been floated in Chinese local media for a while (and flagged in this blog). Interestingly, the CSRC said it would allow margin contracts to roll over beyond the original maximum 6-month maturity. This new rule is meant to temper down market volatility. Plus, Chinese brokers have not reached the 4x ceiling. As of the end of the first quarter, Chinese brokers have 773 billion yuan of net capital, which means the brokers can have 3.1 trillion yuan margin finance balance, well above the 2.2 trillion yuan as of last week
Related: China Margin-Financing Cap Is Seen Allowing Loans to Double – Bloomberg Business China’s planned ceiling on brokerages’ lending to customers for share purchases is set so high that it may prove only a limited constraint on the funding driving the nation’s stock boom. Brokers may have 4.5 trillion yuan ($725 billion) of financing capacity by year-end under proposed rules announced Friday, China International Capital Corp. analysts say. That would be more than double the current 2.2 trillion yuan of funding outstanding.
Related: China’s Unsettling Stock Market Boom – NYTimes The NYT editorial board weighs in on the market here // The last big rally in Chinese stocks was in 2006-07. After the peak in October 2007, prices fell about 70 percent over 12 months. The crash wiped out many individual investors. But because the government tightly restricted margin lending then, there was little damage to the financial system. This time, the risks are bigger and broader.
Related: Stand Back: China’s Bubble Will Burst – Bloomberg View another opinion oracle issues a proclamation…maybe correct eventually but I will bet not this year// The blow to confidence will be all the greater because the government has acted so conspicuously as a market cheerleader. That’s why the bursting of the stock-market bubble could conceivably deflate the myth that what Beijing commands of the economy shall be so. And who knows where that might lead.
4. Western Firms Caught Off Guard as Chinese Shoppers Flock to Web – WSJ The maker of Dove soap, Lux shampoo and Comfort fabric softener warned in October of a 20% drop in its third-quarter China sales. The next quarter, the company announced another 20% fall. Unilever blamed a slowing Chinese economy and a pullback by shoppers. But a close look at retailing trends in China suggests Unilever was also feeling the pain of the migration of hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers to online shopping. Unilever wasn’t the only Western company overestimating brick-and-mortar. Swiss food company Nestlé SA has been burning instant coffee it couldn’t sell in stores. It recently told The Wall Street Journal it failed to fathom the extent of how quickly and broadly retail was changing in China. Colgate-Palmolive Co. and Germany’s Beiersdorf AG, which makes Nivea skin cream, have also cited problems with overstocking.// there are some real structural shifts going on in the economy, business declines not always about “economy collapsing”…
5. Uber在华业绩遭质疑：真实日订单30万|Uber|订单互联网新浪科技_新浪网 Sina IT says Uber is overstating its ridership numbers in China, that the actual daily ride amount is 300,000 // 据一位不愿具名的消息人士透露，Uber中国的真实日订单数在30万单左右。而因为Uber分配订单的特殊性，司机无法看到乘客的目的地，这导致了大量的拒单产生，订单成功率一直不高。
Related: Chinese Uber Rival Will Raise Funds at $15 Billion Valuation – Bloomberg Business i bought shares in $ehic last week, as a play on surging Uber and Kai-Didi // Taxi applications backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. are seeking to raise funds that value the company at $12 billion to $15 billion, people familiar with the matter said. Xiaoju Kuaizhi Inc. is raising at least $1.5 billion to fend off Uber Technologies Inc. in China, the people said, asking not to be identified because they aren’t authorized to speak about the matter. The funding is coming from new and old investors, with the valuation doubling since the competing Didi and Kuaidi apps combined in February, the people said.
6. Geneva Whodunit Has Chinese Up in Arms Over $1.2 Billion Lost in Alleged Scam – Bloomberg Business Street protests in Beijing and Hong Kong. Chinese investors flying 5,000 miles to show up on doorsteps in Geneva and demand their money back. It’s the fallout so far from an alleged scam that its victims say robbed 29,000 Chinese investors of $1.2 billion.. They were promised returns of as much as 10 percent a month from currency trading by API Premiere Swiss Trust AG and associated companies, according to interviews with six victims and documents they shared over the past three months. The money disappeared from their accounts in January, the investors said. // and they believed the 10% a month? not much sympathy
7. Cisco to Cut Senior Executives in China as Sales Slip – WSJ Cisco is toast in China // Cisco Systems Inc. plans to remove several of its senior executives in China, as sales slide because of government fears about the security of foreign networking equipment, people briefed on the matter said…Cisco’s China sales fell 20% in the quarter ended April 25 from a year earlier, compared with the company’s 5.1% global revenue gain. Its share of the router market in the country fell to 9.4% in the first quarter from 21.2% a year earlier, with the lost sales going to local rival Huawei Technologies Co., according to Bernstein Research.
8. Closer Look: How a Child Comes to Pen the Words ‘Death Has Been My Dream’-Caixin The death of four children in the southwestern province of Guizhou has highlighted the problems faced by the millions of China’s “left-behind children” – rural youngsters who remain at home while their parents go off to find work in big cities. The four – three sisters and a brother aged five to 13 – were found dead after drinking pesticide at their home in Cizhu Village, in the city of Bijie, on June 9. Villagers and officials said the children had lived alone for years because their father has migrated to find work in another province and their mother left home in 2013. State media reported that the 13-year-old boy left behind a letter apparently for his parents that said: “Thanks for your good intentions. I know you are good to me, but it is time for me to go. I swore I would not live beyond 15 years old and death has been my dream for years.”

Children of wealthy Chinese taught how to behave – China Daily the session had strict discipline – those arriving late or leaving early were fined 1,000 yuan (around $160). “Although it is not a large sum for the wealthy, the rule aims to build a sense of responsibility.” The training came after Chinese President Xi Jinping called for a more positive image of the young rich.

张春贤：境内外敌对势力利用宗教对新疆渗透破坏活动不断加剧中国政库澎湃新闻-The Paper 张春贤指出，实践证明，广大爱国宗教人士是一支政治上靠得住、宗教上有造诣、品德上能服众、关键时起作用的好队伍，是维护新疆社会稳定和长治久安的重要力量，是促进新疆经济社会发展的积极力量，是可以信赖的依靠力量。同时也要看到，宗教领域还存在对党的宗教工作方针政策学习、理解、掌握、落实不够，对宗教规律认识不透，“说不清、说不过、说不服”的问题；境内外敌对势力利用宗教对新疆进行的渗透破坏活动不断加剧，严重影响社会大局稳定。这些问题不解决，势必影响宗教管理和宗教和谐。

Local Chinese Authorities Use Internet Slang ‘Ziganwu’ in Their Propaganda Recruitment · Global Voices A provincial education document titled “The Notice of Recommendation of Core Internet Commenters and Ziganwu”, issued mid-May by the Sichuan education office, indirectly confirms the term’s inclusion in official language. Netizens recently discovered the document on the websites of some provincial colleges, including Mianyang Normal University, Sichuan Medical University and Aba Teachers University. There are a few types of pro-government Internet commenters in China, though they all undertake similar propaganda work. In addition to the 50 Cent Party and the newly government-recognized ziganwu, “online youth civilization volunteers” seek to spread positive energy and “purify” the internet. Leaked emails showed that the China Communist Youth League, one of the most significant Chinese Communist Party organizations under the single party regime, has set out to recruit an estimated 18 million of these commenters from colleges throughout the country since last year.

海外版望海楼：关注海洋 各国应多干正事–观点–人民网-苏晓晖 不幸的是，当前有个别国家动辄炒作南海问题，破坏南海和平与稳定；不但不配合中国的合理倡议，反而对中国的贡献说三道四、肆意抹黑。这种自私行为阻碍其他国家正常合作，损害集体利益。个别国家与其频频炒作南海话题，不如为地区和平做点正事。在海洋命运共同体建设方面，各国有着巨大的合作空间。 中国提出了建设性倡议，但这不是只靠中国一方努力便能够实现的。相关各国须凝聚共识，管控分歧，相向而行。 （作者为中国国际问题研究院国际战略研究所副所长）

CELLPHONES: Technology Issue Gives Xiaomi New Headache | Young’s China Business Blog Sourcing on the latest reports is admittedly quite sketchy, and comes from a microblog post from an unnamed source on the Twitter-like Weibo service. The source says that the fingerprint recognition technology being developed for chips sold by global leader Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) isn’t ready for market yet, which is causing a major headache for Xiaomi. (Chinese article) The company is currently scrambling to find alternate solutions to address the shortfall, the reports say. Xiaomi released its first fourth-generation phone, the Mi 4, last July, so presumably it was planning a similar launch schedule around next month for the upcoming Mi 5. But this kind of technology issue, if it’s really happening, would make a July launch extremely difficult, since it would be hard to find a new solution and have enough phones manufactured in time for such a major event next month.
