  • The U.S. State Department had on

    Monday said it was seriously concerned

     by the latest reports of self-immolations in Tibet.

    Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the incidents

    reflected "enormous anger and enormous frustration" over severe Chinese restrictions on human rights and religious freedom.

  • On Dec.12, 2011, Zhu Weiqun, Executive Vice Minister of the United Front Work Department of China's Communist Party Central Committee, had discussion sessions with researchers, professors, journalists and students of the European Union in Brussels.

  • Vice minister Zhu said more than 90 percent of its expenses come from some western countries according to materials released by the Dalai clique.

    The EU: The reason why the Dalai Lama can be successful in Europe is that his language can be understood by Europeans. On the contrary, the words from the Chinese government seem not believable to you.

  • China needs to learn how to use the European language and methods to express their ideas; while as for the Europeans, we also need to abandon the prejudices with an open mind.

    Zhu Weiqun: Your suggestion is very good, showing young people's perception towards the world affairs.

    In my opinion, during the last decades after the Dalai Lama fled out of China in 1959, he devoted much of his time and energy to learning western ways of thinking and socializing with the help of his western teachers.

  • But in fact, there is one more fundamental reason-the political force behind the Dalai Lama.

    Every year, he is supported by the annual financial allocation from some countries, charity funding and money collected through public meetings and mass prayers.

    According to their own material released by the Dalai clique, more than 90 percent of its expenses come from some western countries.

  • The principle of determining a person first would see what contributions he or she has made. As for the Dalai Lama, what has he contributed to Tibet? Compared with the endeavor of the China government, what has he brought to the Tibetan people?

    The best method to resolve differences is resorting to the facts when observing the same problem with different backgrounds and perceptions.

  • One who does not respect the fact may be successful at present, but in a long run, he will lose.

    As I sit on the host position today, my remarks may seem too strong. It doesn't matter if you believe or not, but we welcome each one of you to Tibet and make your own judgments with your own eyes.

  • It was inspirational

    to meet the Kalon Tripa. Today, I feel proud as a young Tibetan that we have

    someone like him to represent us,

    " said Migmar, a Tibetan based in France.

    Later, the Tibetan leader was

    received at the Town Hall of the

     11th district of Paris, which raised the Tibetan national flag in his honour

    . There, Dr Sangay held a press

    conference and met with members of various French Tibet Support groups.

  • On recent refusal

    by South Africa to grant visa to the Tibetan spiritual leader,

    the Dalai Lama, Sangay said

    he was very disappointed.

    He said he had nothing

    against doing business

    with China but that one

    should not throw all one's principles overboard.

  • enzin Tsundue, the President of Regional

    Tibetan Youth

    Congress (RTYC), Dharamshala told

    Phayul that the organisation is taking care of the monk

    and expressed confidence

    that Bhutuk will not face any trouble in India.

  • He has now

    pulled through. After investigation

    , Wang (male, 42,

    resident of Huanggang city, Hubei province) took

    the extreme action because

    of discontent over the

    outcome of a civil litigation in a local court.

  • Freedom of

    movement

    of monks and nuns is extremely limited within Lhasa and Tibetan areas

    of Qinghai,

    Gansu and Sichuan.

  • On 19 October 2010,

    a decision was made

    to replace Tibetan with Mandarin as the main

    medium of instruction in

    Tibetan schools in the

    Qinghai province.

  • @Saulan You are embarrassing the Shigley family again for pretending not to know the 84 year old woman who was brutally attacked by White invaders because your supervisors are so afraid of freedom of speech, google "Dorli Rainey Occupy Seattle." Are you sure your supervisors did not tell you in your memo? Just wondering. Attacking an 84 year old unarmed woman is what American democracy all about? Thank you CNN for reporting it, just imagine how non White people are being treated in America!

  • @Saulan The Occupy Wall Street movement is launching a nationwide demonstration all over the cities in America today to protest the racist American government, we all know the White racist police will arrest, physically attack and kill some demonstrators but we are not afraid of White invaders' violent attempt to shut us down. We are 99%! Don't just making your 50 cents in front of your government issued computer, get your White ass out here and join Occupy Wall Street with us!

  • The restrictive and repressive

    measures enforced on the monks at

    Kirti include security

     raids and surveillance with police presence

    inside and outside the monastery to monitor religious activities

  • There are vulnerabilities in the financial sector, though the financial system is sound overall, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in a report released on Tuesday, as it called for further reforms.

    In its first formal evaluation of China's financial system, the Washington-based lender said China needs to speed up its financial reform.

    The IMF welcomed improvements in supervision and regulation and the upgrading of banks' risk management systems.

  • e FSAP was established in 1999 and carries out assessments in developing and emerging market countries.

    Appraisal work by the FSAP in China started in August, 2009.

    China is one of the 25 "systemically important" countries, including France, Italy and Brazil, that have agreed to mandatory assessments at least once every five years.

  • The central bank, the People's Bank of China, said in a statement on its website that although the IMF report was generally objective and positive, there were still several points of view that are not sufficiently comprehensive.

    "The government's sway over financial markets has already evolved from direct intervention to asserting influence through regulation of financial companies," the bank said.

  • More commercially oriented mechanisms will be developed to form interest and exchange rates, the central bank said.

    According to the IMF, the main near-term risks stem from sharp credit expansion, the rapid increase of off-balance sheet exposures, relatively high real estate prices and imbalanced economic growth.

  • "To prevent over-dependence on bank loans, the central authorities are encouraging diversified financing channels, including non-bank and non-government financing," Ba said. "That is one of the reasons that off-balance sheet lending is increasing."

    He was concerned about the still-imperfect regulatory system that may allow non-performing loans to pressure the financial sector.

  • The banking sector's direct exposure to the real estate sector is moderate, about 20 percent, which is relatively low compared with banks in the United States, the report said.

    "But the indirect exposure is much higher," the IMF report said.

    Zhang Zhiwei, chief China economist at Nomura International (Hong Kong) Ltd, said that housing investments may fall quickly in the coming month if the world's second-largest economy meets a sharp downturn.

  • "It was not easy to

    get Tibetans to talk with me,

    out of sight or hearing-most

    Tibetans made it clear how

    much they hated the Chinese for invading their country,

    but even more for deliberately trying to destroy their culture and their way of life," writes Graham.

  • China spends

    in Tibet to little gain

    After 60 years of

    Communist rule,

    Beijing is struggling to win support of Tibet's mainly Buddhist people,

    despite spending billions of dollars.

  • We are alarmed by recent incidents in Tibet of young people lighting

     themselves on fire

    in desperate acts

    of protest, as well

    as the continued

    house arrest of the Chinese lawyer Chen Guangcheng," she said.

  • @FREETIBETANSNOW

    Stupid Da Lie Lama also underlined

    the importance of

    destroying the Tibet

    buddhist Theological Institute into an organisation that trains well-educated

    monks and nuns for Tibetan monasteries across the country and explains the

    doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism in ways that can keep the religion at pace with the

    times.

  • @Saulan We were singing in Occupy Wall Street but too bad you're such a coward for being so afraid to face democracy:

    Do you hear the people sing?

    Singing a song of angry men?

    It is the music of a people

    Who will not be slaves again!

    When the beating of your heart

    Echoes the beating of the drums

    There is a life about to start

    When tomorrow comes!

    Come on, have some balls, don't just impersonate the 45 year old Sheila Shigley and occupy Wall Street with us.

  • Stupid Chen also underlined t

    he importance of

    building the Tibet

    Buddhist Theological Institute into an organisation that trains well-educated

    monks and nuns for Tibetan monasteries across the country and explains the doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism in ways that can keep the religion at pace with the times.

    as a result of Chinese crackdown during

    2008 Uprising

  • Upon landing at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam just before 8am, Hu, together with his wife Liu Yongqing, waved on the tarmac and smiled before leaving for Honolulu where he will attend the annual Economic Leaders Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and meet business representatives from across the region.

  • As the first meeting arranged after Hu’s arrival, he is scheduled to meet 19 United States business representatives from transnational firms including General Electric, Federal Express, The Dow Chemical Co, Microsoft, Wal-Mart and JP Morgan.China and the US now stand as each’s second largest trade partner

  • , with trade volume rising 150 times to $385 billion in 2010 since they established diplomatic ties in 1979. Diplomats said Hu’s direct talks with major US businesses are expected to be fruitful.

    Amid wide coverage of the summit and of Hu’s attendance by the US media, the Hawaii News Now website reported that Hu is “one of the highest-profile APEC delegates”, noting that “this is the Chinese president’s first visit to the islands”.

  • The APEC leaders’ meeting, with the theme of “seamless regional economy”, will focus heavily on issues such as regional economic integration, green growth, energy security and regulatory cooperation.

    Hu is expected to speak at the meeting on Sunday, focusing on improving global economic governance, shifting growth methods and promoting global and regional economic integration, Chinese foreign ministry officials said earlier this week.

  • Assistant Foreign Minister Wu Hailong said the president will also explain “China’s stand on the issues of free and open trade and investment, green growth, the adjustment of economic structure and regulatory cooperation”.

    During the Sunday meeting, Hu will join other APEC leaders in a discussion with the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) on issues including regional economic integration, reform of the international monetary system and food security.

  • The Chinese leader is also scheduled to deliver a speech titled “Redefining the Future” at the APEC CEO summit Saturday. Among his many other commitments, he is expected to hold bilateral meetings with leaders of APEC economies, including US President Barack Obama and newly elected leaders such as Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and the Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang.

  • “China hopes the meeting will further promote free and open trade and investments in the Asia-Pacific region, push forward economic and technology cooperation, support multilateral trade systems and oppose trade protectionism to inject vitality into the world economic recovery,” Assistant Commerce Minister Yu Jianhua said at a press briefing earlier this week.

  • The 21 member economies of APEC, a major economic forum for the Asia-Pacific region, now account for 43 percent of global trade and 55 percent of global economic activity. It has contributed more than 70 percent of global economic growth during the past decade. Observers say continuous growth in the bloc matters not only to the region but to the global economic recovery.

  • The region currently faces economic uncertainties, with some of APEC’s developing members mired in over-investment ventures, inflation and rising energy prices.

    The depreciation of the US dollars and the gloomy global economic outlook is adding to the vulnerability of the region where developing economies rely heavily on exports to developed countries.

  • China, which joined the regional forum 20 years ago, has become a major growth engine for the bloc and a top trade and investment partner for many of the bloc’s members. A survey of 320 business CEOs within the Asia-Pacific bloc by PricewaterhouseCoopers, released this week, show that more than 40 percent of the investments by both domestic and non-Chinese companies, are aimed at China.

  • Observers said it is not only important to the region that economic growth continue among the organization’s members, but also to the world.

    Even so, they face economic uncertainty, especially the members that still have developing economies. Many of them are experiencing troubles stemming from over-investment, input inflation and increasing energy prices.

  • Chinese diplomats, even though they in general look with favor upon the agenda set by the US, have said some of its goals are “too ambitious”.

    For instance, the US, a maker of many varieties of green technology, is trying to persuade other countries or regions in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation to limit the tariff rates placed on a broad range of green products and services to a maximum of 5 percent by 2012.

  • The organization’s members are divided over what products and services should be subject to the proposed rule.

    “On the whole”, they look favorably on the US’ proposals, but think some of Washington’s expectations would place too great of a demand on “the abilities of the majority of the developing member economies”, Wu Hailong, assistant foreign minister, said on Monday.

  • Such members have already expressed “concerns”, and all of those involved expect the meeting to produce “balanced and concrete results”, Wu said.

    The developing countries and regions also want the US and other developed countries to make a greater commitment to transferring technology.

    Su Hao, director of the Asia-Pacific research center at China Foreign Affairs University in Beijing,

  • said the US’ proposals are meant to strengthen its trade advantages in the Pacific Rim and to cause developing countries and regions to become more dependent on its technology.

    Lu Jianren, an Asia-Pacific Research Center expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the arrangements will set a “very high standard” and the vast economic disparities that exist within the Asia-Pacific make it difficult to integrate the region as quickly as the US wants.

  • “For example, developing economies usually have higher tariffs than developed economies,” he said. “A sudden cut in tariffs will only benefit rich economies to the detriment of some vulnerable domestic industries in developing economies.”

  • Topics at the forum will include economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region, integration of regional economies, environmentally conscious growth and energy security, said Zhang Yesui, Chinese ambassador to the US.

    "The success of the meeting will be important in promoting regional cooperation in the Asia-Pacific area and facilitating world economic recovery and growth," Zhang said on Monday.

  • @SauIan Sorry Sheila Shigley impersonator, the World Bank just released a report on China's economic growth today and everything is opposite than what you are saying. I guess your supervisor did not show you the right memo? BTW, the Work Bank's report gives China's Central Bank high marks for its economic growth, so if you want to pretend to be an economic expert, why don't you write a report instead of being a Wu Mao online? Maybe you could win the Noble Prize....nope I don't think so!

  • @SauIan Why are the White invaders copying a failed capitalist system and making it WORSE?? Just look at how bad the economy is in America. Vice President Joel Biden went to China several month ago to borrow $200 billion from the CCP "because the US government cannot survival without the $200 billion by the end of 2011," said Joel Biden. If Amercia's system was that good, why does the US need to borrow money from the CCP? Saulan, your 50 cents are from the CCP, just a reminder. :-)

  • Following the

    self-immolation of eleven Tibetans, causing six deaths since March this year,

    TWA’s delegation -

    comprising of President

    Dolkar Lhamo Kirti and

    Research and Media officer

    Dhardon Sharling had met with various Indian leaders f

    or a face-to-face lobbying campaign.

  • Responding to questions on

    the spate of

    self-immolations in

    Tibet that has already seen eleven Tibetans set their bodies on fire

    since March this year,

    the Dalai Lama clarified

    that Dr Lobsang Sangay, the de facto prime minister of Tibet,

    was the right person to be asked these questions.

  • @lycopene1 Saulan says she "loves" China but she says racist crap that the Chinese do not dare to touch White racists. Saulan calls racial slurs"love?" Oh, Americans are saying they are in Iraq for peace and democracy but ended up killing 4 million Iraqis because the greedy White invaders wanted to rob the Iraqis' oil. I guess White racists like Saulan has a difference of "love," and see how muc the White invaders "love" the Native Americans.

  • Currently on a visit to Japan, the Tibetan leader Dalai Lama while

    responding to questions from the media said that

    the self-immolations were a sign of "deep desperation" while calling for a review

    of China's policies in Tibet.

  • @SauIan "Who will be believed?" Of course the Chinese because only White invaders like you would kill your own people by committing ethic cleansing. According to the United Nations, 99.99% of the Native Americans have been killed by White invaders who are occupying their land, and the rest are locked up in death camps by the American government on death row.

    You "boycott your country?" How? Moving out from America? Lol! I dare you! Please come up with a better joke WU MAO!

  • We hope that

    you can use the G20 Summit to call on the Chinese

    government to respond

    to the Tibetan people’s legitimate demands with

    a meaningful dialogue

    instead of force," the letter said.

  • China wants eurozone stability, President Hu Jintao said in an interview published on Wednesday ahead of the G20 summit in the French city of Cannes.

    China "sincerely wishes to see stability in the eurozone and the euro", Hu told the French newspaper Le Figaro.

    The president also called on G20 leaders to "send a clear message of solidarity" and give priority to economic growth in the face of global economic challenges.

  • With both the US and EU burdened by heavy debt and a bleak economic outlook, China finds itself under the spotlight to help stabilize the global economy and tackle the eurozone debt crisis. But China is also cautious amid domestic pressure and an ever-changing global economy.

  • Chinese business officials and experts have repeatedly said that the EU needs to reform its financial institutions before the debt crisis can be tackled.

    According to the Le Figaro report, Hu said G20 leaders should strive to "strengthen the coordination of macroeconomic policies (and) press ahead with the reform of the global monetary and financial system".

    Hu met with Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), on Wednesday in Cannes.

  • The two discussed the global economy, the reform of the international monetary system and the role of the IMF, a foreign ministry official said, without elaborating on details.

    Hu's meeting with Lagarde, his first official meeting in Cannes, was interpreted by some Western observers as being solely a discussion on helping to rescue the eurozone.

    Yet Chinese diplomats said its timing was purely coincidental and the meeting concentrated on China-IMF cooperation.

  • The September unemployment rate in the eurozone has recorded a fifth consecutive monthly rise to reach 10.2 percent, a eurozone record. October growth figures for the EU service and manufacturing sectors experienced their largest drop in two years, with the market confidence index the lowest since 2009.

  • European leaders had agreed at the end of October to a $1.4 trillion rescue fund to stop the debt crisis in Greece from bleeding into other shaky eurozone economies.

    The governing council of the European Central Bank will meet on Thursday to announce a fresh round of measures to help the fragile banking sector.

  • Yet stock markets have been rattled over the last two days by the Greek prime minister's decision to hold a referendum on the proposed bailout.

    The G20 summit in Cannes, according to Thomas Klau, head of the Paris bureau of the European Council on Foreign Relations, has already, in all probability, been "transmuted into yet another eurozone crisis summit" entrusted with restoring its collective credibility.

  • Europe is looking to China to foot part of the rescue bill, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF). Yet China has legitimate concerns about getting too involved and is seeking fuller operational details. Besides, buying more eurozone debt is not on the G20 agenda.

    Hu is scheduled to meet French President Nicolas Sarkozy late on Wednesday night, the first bilateral meeting Sarkozy has planned for his G20 schedule.

  • It has also been reported that the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) will meet ahead of the G20 summit to agree a consensus.

    Analysts said Hu's remarks convey confidence in the coming summit, as growing global economies also serve the interests of China.

    Wang Yizhou, a scholar with the School of International Studies at Peking University, said China's help to the EU might not be limited to buying bonds.

  • It could be in the form of tariff reduction and enhancing trade, Wang said.

    "Given that China is facing slowing economic growth, whatever it agrees cannot be at the expense of its own economy," said Wang Yiming, deputy director of the Institute of Macroeconomics at the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

  • Maintaining robust growth itself has been a major contribution to the global economy, Wang said.

    Economic restructuring and boosting domestic consumption is, for now, the best help that China can offer the global economy, Wang Yiming said.

    Experts also said that the IMF remains a reasonable channel for China to extend its help in stabilizing the world economy.

  • "I don't think that China should provide money to other channels, for example, the EFSF," said TJ Bond, a senior economist at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch, who believes that China can work with the existing international financial institutions, such as the IMF, to help the European countries.

  • US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that her country "is committed to the success of China" because it is also good for the United States.

    The top US diplomat voiced the commitment in a congratulatory message to the Chinese public ahead of China's National Day on October 1.

    "On behalf of President (Barack) Obama and the people of the United States, I congratulate the people of China as you celebrate your National Day this October 1," she said.

  • From Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to the United States in January to the successful third round of the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in May, "the US has shown a deep commitment to this important relationship," she added.

  • "Together, our two countries are seizing this moment in history and developing the positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship envisioned by our presidents," Clinton said.

    "The United States is committed to the success of China, because a thriving China is good for America and a thriving America is good for China," she said.

  • She praised both the Chinese and Americans "for their hard work and ingenuity," adding that the two sides can find solutions to the most pressing global challenges through working together.

    Clinton issued the message one week after Washington announced arms sales to the Chinese island of Taiwan despite Beijing's strong opposition.

  • Attending a reception on Wednesday at the Chinese embassy in Washington, US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns also struck a reconciliatory tone in his speech, saying that the United States welcomes the rise of a strong, prosperous and successful China that plays a bigger role in world affairs.

    He also stressed that cooperation between the two countries would surely benefit both nations as well as the whole world, despite their differences on certain issues.

  • In another development, the US State Department announced Thursday that Kurt Campbell, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, will visit China on October 11 to hold the second round of the US-China Consultations on the Asia-Pacific with Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai.

    The first round of the consultations, an outcome of the third US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in May, was held in June in Honolulu, Hawaii.

  • The consultations "reflect the shared commitment expressed in the joint statements of our leaders to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship," the department said in a statement.

    Campbell will also visit Japan, South Korea, Brunei and Thailand and stop in Hong Kong during the October 5-11 Asian trip.

  • Bill Gates, co-chair of the foundation named after him and his wife, said: "this partnership demonstrates the critical role that rapidly growing countries like China can play in driving innovation to reduce hunger and poverty.

    "China's support to bring its power and capacity to bear on global health and agriculture research and production comes at a critical time in our world economic situation," Gates said.

  • Globally, many industrial countries have cut back on investment into research and development against the backdrop of a global recession but China has, instead, kept increasing its financial support for innovation in recent years, said Ray Yip, who heads the China efforts for the foundation.

  • "I am confident that there will be more and more Chinese investment come to the US, because this is not only good for the investors themselves, it actually helps your economy and helps to create jobs in this country. This is very, very important," Zhang said.

    Responding to a question on US trade deficit with China, Zhang said the trade imbalance is a combination of complicated factors.

    "We do not believe that legislation is the appropriate mechanism," he said.

  • The Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Act, which the US Senate passed 63-35 on Oct 11, threatens to punish China for allegedly undervaluing its currency with retaliatory tariffs on imports from China.

    Zhang said the exchange rate of the yuan may be a factor for the loss of jobs in the US, but it is not a very important factor.

  • Causes for the imbalance include the two counties' structural trade and investment differences, divergent patterns of saving and consumption, and the international division of labor, according to Zhang.

    "Many of the manufacturing products the US imports from China are no longer produced in the US. If the US decided to stop importing from China, it has to import from somewhere else. Maybe for ordinary consumers, they have to pay more for the same quality of products," Zhang said.
