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.
@SauIan Are you saying all the major American media including CNN, the LA Times, The NY Times, The Boston Globe, ABC, NBC and CBS...etc were "hired" by the PRC to cover the 84 year old woman and the pregnant women who were beatan by the White police officers because they were simply exercising their First Amandment rights on American soil? If so, tell us how much did PRC to spend to "hire" CNN. Don't be a chicken, say it and we will tell CNN's Legal Department about your comment, I dare you.
The White invaders will continue to hire unemployed White racists like you to publish lies against ethnic minorities.
But the people of the world are not easily duped and just look at what is going on in Occupy Wall Street. It was "Day of Action" yesterday and protests were all over America, hundreds of people were beatan and arrested by the White invaders. But so what? You think White invaders can silent people with violence forever?
@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!
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.
"China's banks and financial sector are healthy, but there are vulnerabilities that should be addressed by the authorities," said Jonathan Fiechter, deputy director of the IMF's Monetary and Capital Markets Department and the head of the IMF team that conducted the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP).
Ba Shusong, deputy head of the Institute of Financial Studies at the Development Research Center of the State Council, told China Daily that the report is generally positive and it is constructive for the development of the financial system.
The FSAP was established in 1999 and carries out assessments in developing and emerging market countries.
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.
"If several of the above risks were to occur at the same time, the banking system could be severely impacted," said the IMF, after jointly conducting stress tests of the largest 17 commercial banks.
"The banking system's non-performing loan ratio has been on a downward trend, reaching 1.1 percent at the end of 2010," thanks to strong economic growth and improvements in risk management, the IMF said.
But if credit increases more rapidly, it may result in a deterioration of bank asset quality in the coming years, the IMF said.
In October, the country's new yuan-denominated lending reached 586.8 billion yuan ($92.7 billion), up 17.5 billion yuan from a year earlier. It increased from 470 billion yuan in September, and 548.5 billion yuan in August.
Wang Tao, a Hong Kong-based economist at UBS AG, said that new lending may reach 550 billion yuan in each of the last two months of this year, bringing lending in this category in 2011 to 7.3 trillion yuan.
Both the growth of credit and money supply are on track for a "normal" range after government economic stimulus policies, said Ba with the State Council's development research center.
"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.

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.
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.”
The upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum will help improve Sino-US relations and promote regional cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, analysts said.
Amid recent tension over trade and China's exchange rate, President Hu Jintao will meet US President Barack Obama at the 19th annual APEC forum in Hawaii over the weekend.
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.
Started on Wednesday, hosted by Obama and US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, APEC is a forum for 21 member economies in the Asia-Pacific region to promote trade and economic cooperation.
"The Asia-Pacific area is the most energetic area in the world economy, but it also faces many difficulties and challenges," Zhang said, noting that "its member economies are developing at different levels".
"China is willing to increase coordination and cooperation with other APEC member economies to achieve practical results from the meeting," Zhang said.
"I will say that broadly, the focus on the Asia-Pacific region reflects this president's commitment to this country's economic future," White House spokesman Jay Carney said at a regular news conference on Monday.
"And it goes right on the economic front to our - his goal, rather - to double our exports and increase our trade, specifically with the countries in the Asia-Pacific region," Carney said.
Yan Xuetong, dean of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University, said different development levels of member economies should be taken into consideration.
He said China has been gradually taking more international responsibilities.
At the forum, Hu will meet Obama for the 11th time since Obama took office, which will come shortly after their meeting at the G20 summit held in France earlier this month.
Yan predicted that the meeting will be positive and said it will improve Sino-US ties, which have been strained recently over issues such as bilateral trade.
The US Commerce Department is expected to decide on Wednesday whether to launch an investigation into Chinese solar exports, which could add to friction before the forum.
After 3+ years of comments on "Tibet, Was, Is" (including NSKOV er NZKOF's original video), have you come to believe that the Chinese government is "nice?"
Have their comments been friendly?
Is theirs the political party you want ruling the world?
@SauIan Observe the White invaders' "democratic free world" a society where 99.995 of the Native Americans have been killed by White invaders, a society where you, too, can experience your family being harmonized into oblivion.
India to be promoting and protecting the Tibetan people’s basic human rights, not censuring their struggle in a free country simply because China demands it be done
@SauIan See, now White scam artists like you are using my name.
You feel proud of yourselves--"Maybe I'll get a promotion, or some small extra bit of praise, for mentioning the real Sheila Shigley's name because 45 year old woman are easy to prey."
That's the difference between you and me, the real Sheila Shigley is 45 years old and you are only 35. Please ask your supervisor for the right memo.
@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. :-)
@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.
@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!
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).
"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.
Because of the lack of details that leave critical questions unanswered, China should not hurry into the buyers list of the EFSF, said Wang Haifeng, director of the International Cooperation Center affiliated to the NDRC.
"White invaders may torture the Native Americans' bodies, break our bones, even kill us. Then they will have our dead bodies, but not our obedience." --- The Native Americans who are being killed by White trash invaders like Saulan.
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.
@SauIan thinks she can intimidate me into silence by impersonating my identity--thus implying a not-so-subtle threat against my family because I voice my freedom of speech against @Saulan for occupying the Native Americans' homeland.
What a shameful way for @Saulan to shame her fellow White invaders.
In the end, will any Native Americans respect White invaders who are killing them everyday?
KOYASAN, October 31: On the second leg of his ongoing visit to Japan, His Holiness the Dalai Lama today arrived at the small temple town of Koyasan, the centre of Shingon Buddhism introduced by Kobo Dashi in 805.
Just in news: The Dalai Lama was shot twice by his bodyguard earlier today and he is undger intensive surgeries right now and the Tibetan Exile Government has issued a statement saying The Dalai Lama may not survive!!!!
White invaders are so afraid of democracy that they arrested 800 people from Occupy Wall Street because the protestors are exposing the American government's corruption
China's Ministry of Science and Technology signed a memorandum of understanding with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to invest together in research and development of new products and technologies to help with global health and agriculture.
Under the $300 million project, for every dollar the foundation gives to support selected China-grown products and technologies that can help advance health and agriculture, particularly in the developing world, the ministry will offer $2 as grant money.
Human and animal vaccines, diagnostics for tuberculosis and other diseases, hardier varieties of rice and other crops, and more productive livestock are among the innovations likely to be considered first.
"Innovation to advance human welfare is a goal that China shares with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and together we can do more to improve agriculture and health in some of the poorest nations worldwide," said Vice-Minister Zhang Laiwu at the signing ceremony in Seattle, the United States.
According to Zhang, this was the first time the ministry has formed a partnership in such fields with a foreign non-governmental organization.
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.
Currently, China supports other developing countries like African countries mainly with cash, and cost-efficient technology and products would be added in the future, he added.
Liu Chang, a 29-year-old researcher at the medical school of the Tianjin-based Nankai University, said he was happy with the collaboration, which would bring new momentum and ideas to China's R&D and innovation.
He is researching how to make a virus that could kill HIV and the idea helped him land a $100,000 research grant last May in the fourth round of the Grand Challenges Explorations, a program by the foundation to promote innovation in global health.
"That was a huge surprise for me, as in China it's hard for a young researcher like me to get a research grant of this sum from the government," he told China Daily.
"I hope the partnership would bring positive changes to that and give more opportunities to us young researchers," he said.
MSCI Inc, a New York-based provider of investment decision support tools, will accelerate its expansion in China in order to capitalize on the country's fast-growing financial market, Henry Fernandez, chief executive officer of MSCI said on Monday.
The company will add more employees and significantly expand their client base in China in the near future, Fernandez said at a news briefing in Beijing.
MSCI serves its Chinese clients by providing indices, risk and return portfolio analytics, and corporate governance tools. MSCI indices are used by some of the largest asset owners in China such as China Investment Corporation, the sovereign wealth fund of China, according to Fernandez.
MSCI also serves two of China's State-owned banks by providing tools for risk management and analytics. The Chinese qualified domestic institutional investors (QDII) are also the key clients of MSCI in China.
The number of its clients in China has increased by more than 60 percent to more than 200 since then, according to the company. The company opened its first office in China in 2005 and it has more than 180 employees in its offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
MSCI owns more than 60 percent of the market share in China by the number of the QDII funds and more than 90 percent of market share by the value of assets under management of the QDII funds, according to Fernandez.
"We are also using our presence in China as a platform to provide services to the world," he said.

The United States will receive more and more Chinese investment, which will help the country's economy and create jobs, said China's top diplomat to the US on Sunday.
Zhang Yesui, Chinese ambassador to the US told an audience attending the 5th China-US Relations Conference that potential areas for China's increasing investments in the US will include clean energy, environmental protection and infrastructure.
However, Zhang reiterated in his opening remarks that politicizing China-US trade imbalance by legislation will only lead to a "trade war".
He also urged the US to stop selling arms to Taiwan, which has damaged the bilateral relationship that has become one of the most complex bilateral relationships in the world.
The conference, held biannually taking turns in China and the US, aims to promote, strengthen and expand academic and business collaborations between the two countries.
Zhang calls for a better investment environment in the US for Chinese investments, which by far is only a small portion in China's overall foreign direct investments.
"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.
Zhang proposed four priorities to build a bilateral, cooperative partnership as President Hu Jintao and President Barack Obama announced in a joint statement during Hu's state visit to the US in January.
Zhang said if people of the two countries continue to look at each other with the Cold War mindset, China and the US will be drawn into confrontation and conflict.

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.

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.

"Innovation to advance human welfare is a goal that China shares with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and together we can do more to improve agriculture and health in some of the poorest nations worldwide," said Vice-Minister Zhang Laiwu at the signing ceremony in Seattle, the United States.
According to Zhang, this was the first time the ministry has formed a partnership in such fields with a foreign non-governmental organization.

The United States will receive more and more Chinese investment, which will help the country's economy and create jobs, said China's top diplomat to the US on Sunday.
Zhang Yesui, Chinese ambassador to the US told an audience attending the 5th China-US Relations Conference that potential areas for China's increasing investments in the US will include clean energy, environmental protection and infrastructure.

However, Zhang reiterated in his opening remarks that politicizing China-US trade imbalance by legislation will only lead to a "trade war".
He also urged the US to stop selling arms to Taiwan, which has damaged the bilateral relationship that has become one of the most complex bilateral relationships in the world.

The conference, held biannually taking turns in China and the US, aims to promote, strengthen and expand academic and business collaborations between the two countries.
Zhang calls for a better investment environment in the US for Chinese investments, which by far is only a small portion in China's overall foreign direct investments.

"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.
ShigleySheila 3 months ago
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.

Zhang proposed four priorities to build a bilateral, cooperative partnership as President Hu Jintao and President Barack Obama announced in a joint statement during Hu's state visit to the US in January.
Zhang said if people of the two countries continue to look at each other with the Cold War mindset, China and the US will be drawn into confrontation and conflict.
