- 美國傳媒揭發,由香港前特首董建華任主席的中美交流基金會,企圖藉資助著名學府和智庫等機構,左右美國政策和輿論。資料顯示,該會過去五年在美國花逾2,240萬港元作政治游說。受資助大學否認捐款會左右學術研究的獨立與誠信,基金會則否認擔任中共代理人。美國雜誌《外交政策》報道,約翰霍普金斯大學高級國際研究學院今年八月宣佈在中國研究學系增設冠名教授職位,負責「太平洋共同體倡議」(Project Community Initiative)項目,研究「中國在亞洲以至全球更廣泛的角色,及對鄰近地區和夥伴的意義」。中國研究總監David Lampton在報道中承認,此項目由中美交流基金會資助,新設教席也會與基金會緊密合作。中美交流基金會由董擔任主席,報道指其資助的機構包括布魯金斯學會(Brookings Institution)及大西洋理事會(Atlantic Council)屬下研究中心等著名智庫。《蘋 果》翻查美國國會紀錄,發現基金會每年聘用3至4家公司在國會進行游說工作,議題大多涉中美關係。連同今年首3季,基金會過去5年在此範疇花費逾 2,240萬港元,其中單在2015年就用上620萬港元。本身是擔保公司的基金會的香港公開賬目顯示,基金會現時坐擁逾3億港元資產,當中約1.2億元 是現金,主要收入是捐款,去年錄8,500萬元捐款,2014年錄近1.5億元;超過7成開支列入「其他撥款及項目開支」,惟無披露資金來源。報道引述美國詹姆斯頓基金會中國項目研究員馬蒂斯稱,中國在美國建立的人脈並非為短期利益,而是希望長遠改變輿論氣氛,日後毋須直接出手也可左右政策辯論。https://hk.news.appledaily.com/local/daily/article/20171130/20230175翻查資料,董建華(圖)自退任特首後即擔任中美關係推手,除多次約見多名美國前任或時任高官,亦曾以全國政協副主席身份,陪同中國兩任國家主席習近平、胡 錦濤出席中美活動。美國總統特朗普新近訪京,董亦有出席歡迎活動。 中美交流基金會於2008年在香港設立,自稱是一個由私人資助的,非政府、非營利性的實體。https://hk.news.appledaily.com/local/daily/article/20171130/20230188

- singtao 9aug17 來自香港的女子及其丈夫卻以9萬美元(約70.4萬港元)超筍價,在當地豪宅區買起一整條私家路,並可能將其轉售,或向區內一眾業主徵收泊車費,大賺一筆。屋苑居民一直蒙在鼓裡,對此非常不滿,要求市政府裁定交易無效。三藩市共有181條私家路,業主每年須繳付14美元(約109港元)物業稅,普雷西迪奧台(Presidio Terrace)屋苑的居民協會卻連續30年漏交稅項。2015年,地方稅局在網站拍賣普雷西迪奧台的橢圓形私家路,以收回994美元(約7,775港元)連息罰款和稅款。來自香港的蒂娜.林(Tina Lam,譯音)和其台灣的丈夫邁克爾.鄭(Michael Cheng,譯音)吼準這難得投資良機,同年4月成功投得。夫婦未決定如何作進一步投資,由於該街道劃有120個車位,一個選擇就是向住戶收取泊車費;另一方法是以高價轉售路段,報道指,今年5月兩夫婦委託產權公司,詢問普雷西迪奧台居民是否願意回購,居民才赫然發現屋外的私家路被買起。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2017/08/09/a24-0809.pdf

- The Seattle riot of 1886 occurred on February 6–9, 1886, in Seattle, Washington, amidst rising anti-Chinese sentiment caused by intense labor competition and in the context of an ongoing struggle between labor and capital in the Western United States. The dispute arose when a mob affiliated with a local Knights of Labor chapter formed small committees to carry out a forcible expulsion of all Chinese from the city. Violence erupted between the Knights of Labor rioters and federal troops ordered in by President Grover Cleveland. The incident resulted in the removal of over 200 Chinese people from Seattle and left 2 militia men and 3 rioters seriously injured.

- The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) is an independent agency of the U.S. government which monitors human rights and rule of law developments in the People's Republic of China. It was created in October 2001 under Title III of H.R. 4444, which authorizes normal trade relations with the PRC, and establishes a framework for relations between the two countries.[1] The commission was given the mandate by the U.S. Congress to monitor and report on human rights issues with a particular focus on compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Its reporting covers developments in freedom of expression, the right to peaceful assembly, religious freedom, freedom of movement, freedom from arbitrary arrest, detention, or torture, and the right to a fair trial, among others. The commission publishes an annual report to the President of the United States and Congress, typically in the fall of each year. It also maintains a database of prisoners of conscience, and holds regular roundtables and hearings. The commission comprises a staff of researchers and analysts, and is overseen by as many as nine members each from the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, as well as senior executive branch officials. Chairmanship of the commission rotates between the majority parties from the House and Senate.

- The Chinese Exclusion Act was a United States federal law signed by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882. It was one of the most significant restrictions on free immigration in US history, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers. The act followed theAngell Treaty of 1880, a set of revisions to the US-China Burlingame Treaty of 1868 that allowed the US to suspend Chinese immigration. The act was initially intended to last for 10 years, but was renewed in 1892 with the Geary Act and made permanent in 1902. The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first law implemented to prevent a specific ethnic group from immigrating to the United States. It was repealed by the Magnuson Act on December 17, 1943.The first significant Chinese immigration to North America began with the California Gold Rush of 1848–1855 and continued with subsequent large labor projects, such as the building of the First Transcontinental Railroad. During the early stages of the gold rush, when surface gold was plentiful, the Chinese were tolerated, if not well received. As gold became harder to find and competition increased, animosity toward the Chinese and other foreigners increased. After being forcibly driven from the mines, most Chinese settled in enclaves in cities, mainly San Francisco, and took up low end wage labor such as restaurant and laundry work.[citation needed] With the post-Civil War economy in decline by the 1870s, anti-Chinese animosity became politicized by labor leader Denis Kearney and his Workingman's Party as well as by California Governor John Bigler, both of whom blamed Chinese "coolies" for depressed wage levels. Another significant anti-Chinese group organized in California during this same era was theSupreme Order of Caucasians, with some 60 chapters statewide.[citation needed] In the early 1850s, there was resistance to the idea of excluding Chinese migrant workers from immigration, because they provided essential tax revenue which helped fill the fiscal gap of California. But toward the end of the decade, the financial situation improved and subsequently, attempts to legislate Chinese exclusion became successful on the state level. In 1858, the California Legislature passed a law that made it illegal for any person "of the Chinese or Mongolian races" to enter the state; however, this law was struck down by an unpublished opinion of the State Supreme Court in 1862. The Chinese immigrant workers provided cheap labor and did not use any of the government infrastructure (schools, hospitals, etc.) because the Chinese migrant population was predominantly made up of healthy male adults. As time passed and more and more Chinese migrants arrived in California, violence would often break out in cities such as Los Angeles. By 1878 Congress decided to act and passed legislation excluding the Chinese, but this was vetoed by President Rutherford B. Hayes. In 1879, California adopted a new Constitution, which explicitly authorized the state government to determine which individuals were allowed to reside in the state, and banned the Chinese from employment by corporations and state, county or municipal governments. Once the Chinese Exclusion Act was finally passed in 1882, California went further by passing various laws that were later held to be unconstitutional. After the act was passed, most Chinese families were faced with a dilemma: stay in the United States alone or go back to China to reunite with their families. Although there was widespread dislike for the Chinese, some capitalists and entrepreneurs resisted their exclusion because they accepted lower wages.

- The US government is now requiring Chinese diplomats to inform the State Department in advance of any official visits they conduct in the country, in an effort to get Beijing to relax restrictions on American envoys in China. The State Department has informed Chinese diplomatic missions in the US over the past week that they must notify – but do not need to seek permission from – the agency when organising visits with government officials on the state or local levels, a senior official at the department said on Wednesday. The requirement also applies to planned meetings with US educational or research institutions. US diplomats in China are required to obtain permission if they want to meet government officials, academics or other stakeholders in the country, the State Department official said, adding that denials are “a very common occurrence for our staff all over China”.https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3033281/us-government-tells-chinese-diplomats-they-must-notify

- just over 150 years ago, the roles were reversed. Back then, it was imperial China that complained about the US not playing fair and it was the US that was on the verge of becoming the world’s largest economy. At a critical moment in 1861, President Abraham Lincoln sent a charismatic former Congressman,
Anson Burlingame, to China as his envoy. This would change history and may hold important lessons for today.Until then, economic disputes between China and Western nations, including the US, had been resolved by force and China had been compelled to accept unfair trade agreements and
territorial cessions.Burlingame, however, led the way in fostering a so-called Cooperative Policy between China and Western powers. The US would treat China in the same peaceful manner as other nations, upholding its sovereignty and territorial integrity and agreeing not to interfere in its internal affairs.But here we are today, and coercion is once again an instrument of US policy. In the 19th century, it was guns; in the past year, it has been economic pressure.https://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/3005811/china-trade-deal-wont-solve-anything-if-americans-dont-get - The Open Door Policy is a term in foreign affairs initially used to refer to the United States policy established in the late 19th century and the early 20th century that would allow for a system of trade in China open to all countries equally. It was used mainly to mediate the competing interests of different colonial powers in China. In more recent times, the term 'Open Door policy' also describes the economic policy initiated by Deng Xiaoping in 1978 to open up China to foreign businesses that wanted to invest in the country. This later policy set into motion the economic transformation of modern China. The late 19th century policy was enunciated in Secretary of State John Hay's Open Door Note, dated September 6, 1899 and dispatched to the major European powers. It proposed to keep China open to trade with all countries on an equal basis, keeping any one power from total control of the country, and calling upon all powers, within their spheres of influence, to refrain from interfering with any treaty port or any vested interest, to permit Chinese authorities to collect tariffs on an equal basis, and to show no favors to their own nationals in the matter of harbor dues or railroad charges. Open Door policy was rooted in the desire of U.S. businesses to trade with Chinese markets, though it also tapped the deep-seated sympathies of those who opposed imperialism, with the policy pledging to protect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity from partition. It had little legal standing, and served in the main the interests of competing colonial powers without much meaningful input from the Chinese, creating lingering resentment and causing it to later be seen as a symbol of national humiliation by Chinese historians. In the 20th-century and 21st-century, scholars such as Christopher Layne in the neorealist school have generalized the use of the term to applications in 'political' open door policies and 'economic' open door policies of nations in general which interact on a global or international basis.
- William Woodville Rockhill (May 1, 1854 – December 8, 1914) was a United States diplomat, best known as the author of the U.S.'s Open Door Policy for China and as the first American to learn to speak Tibetan.
- John Milton Hay (October 8, 1838 – July 1, 1905) was an American statesman and official whose career in government stretched over almost half a century. Beginning as a private secretary and assistant to Abraham Lincoln, Hay's highest office was United States Secretary of Stateunder Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.Hay served for almost seven years as Secretary of State, under President McKinley, and after McKinley's assassination, under Theodore Roosevelt. Hay was responsible for negotiating the Open Door Policy, which kept China open to trade with all countries on an equal basis, with international powers. By negotiating the Hay–Pauncefote Treaty with the United Kingdom, the (ultimately unratified) Hay–Herrán Treaty with Colombia, and finally the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty with the newly-independent Republic of Panama, Hay also cleared the way for the building of the Panama Canal.

It was there that then-US president Richard Nixon signed the Shanghai Communique, also known as the Joint Communique of the United States of America and the People's Republic of China, at the conclusion of his China trip in 1972. Surrounded by an ever-green lawn with three main buildings, the hotel was previously named Cathay Mansion and was the home of a Jewish banker who built it in 1925. It was taken over by the municipal government and run as a State-owned luxury hotel from 1951. Before the Shanghai Communique was signed at its Grand Hall in 1972, Jinjiang Hotel had hosted more than 300 visits by state leaders from around the world. Nevertheless, the hotel faced "an unprecedented challenge" when Nixon visited Shanghai in 1972, former hotel staff member Qiu Huanxi recalled.

- 據美媒報道,美國政府正在醞釀對高科技領域學習、工作的中國公民實施赴美簽證的限制政策,作為防範中國「竊取」美國知識產權措施的一部分。美聯社援 引美國國務院一位匿名官員說法稱,按照美國使領館接到的指示,如果中國研究生在機械人、航空、高科技製造等特定領域學習,其赴美簽證有效期將被限定為1 年。有分析指出,上述特定領域均為「中國製造2025」的計劃內容。據了解,上述新政將於今年6月11日開始生效。新政還包括,如果中國公民在屬於美國商務部的特別審查名單內的實體機構擔任研究人員或經理,他們將需要來自多個美國機構的特別許可。這些許可預計將花費數月時間。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2018/05/31/a05-0531.pdf

- 美國前天向中國總值500億美元(下同,約3,900億港元)產品加徵25%關稅,中國在6小時後、昨凌晨立即作出反擊,向美徵收同等價值的關稅,商品清單共659項,當中不少產品亦是歐盟及美洲國家擬向美國徵稅的產品,似有夾擊美國之勢,兩國新的關稅似乎陸續有來。有學者分析指,雙方現時仍留有餘地,預計將有下輪貿易談判。今次北京宣佈的對美的關稅商品主要分為兩部份,首部份是屬於農產品、汽車、水產品等545項、合共340億(約2,652億港元)的商品,它們將在下月6日正式實施關稅;剩下114項產品包括醫療儀器、今次中國開出的清單大有深意,裏面包括了威士忌、電單車、鮮橙、蘋果及豬肉等。歐盟在14日已同意向美進口貨徵25%關稅,下月月初實施,外界預料清單包括上述產品。加拿大亦宣佈7月1日開始,向美產品徵收的25%關稅,重點是威士忌及橙汁。至於中國清單開出的大豆及穀類產品,則是墨西哥擬向美徵收關稅的重點產品。今次中國的清單有意無意配合歐盟及美洲國家,共同圍攻美國。根據美國農業部統計,大豆、豬肉及水果三項出口總值328億(約2,558億港元),佔該年總出口超過三分一。https://hk.news.appledaily.com/local/daily/article/20180617/20423029清單中的電單車、威士忌、大豆及豬肉等,大部份來自共和黨票倉。眾議院共和黨發言人瑞安(Paul Ryan)的家鄉在威斯康星州,當地正是電單車製造商哈利(Harley-Davidson)的基地;參議院多數黨領袖麥康奈爾(Mitch McConnell)的老家肯塔基州,正是波本威士忌最大產地;美國豬肉產地源於愛荷華州,在2016年美國大選,當地有八成選民支持特朗普。https://hk.news.appledaily.com/local/daily/article/20180617/20423055

However, 297 categories were fully or partially removed from the tariff list originally proposed by the Office of the United States Trade Representative, after intense lobbying by US businesses and about a week of public comment.The excluded list includes items where China is the dominant exporter – rare earth metals – or is one of the few places that supplies such items – it is the second-largest exporter of human hair to the US after India, according to US trade data. The human hair is often processed into wigs. The items the US chose to remove from its tariff list also included car seats for babies and toddlers, Ibuprofen, antiques more than 100 years old and a variety of chemicals. The US also chose to remove at least one category where China accounted for no exports last year and is not expected to account for any in the near future: electrical energy. Canada is the only country that exports electrical energy to the US, sending power worth US$3.6 billion last year.

- 據說,中美貿易談判似乎有進展,雙方同意設立機制監督協議的執行,不僅是美國監督中國,也包括中國監督美國。設立監督機制,表面上是雙方平等,可是,美國是有所具體要求,而且多會留有後着。它當然可以藉監督機制迫使中國就範,甚至接連進逼。中國方面能提出怎樣的要求,去監督美國的執行協議?相信在協議中,美國是一環套一環,設立許多先決條件來體現「美國優先」,實質是美國主導、美國決定。如果中國不能反制,設立雙方的監督機制只會是掩耳盜鈴的掩飾。關鍵之處是,中國要對美國提出結構改革的要求,要求美國改變本身出口不足、外貿逆差嚴重的問題。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20190418/00176_055.html

Despite the improvements made, “substantial problems” have remained in four policy priority areas: rule of law, market access, standards, and intellectual property rights, the business group said on Tuesday at a press briefing in Beijing. “Non-transparent, unclear, and inconsistent rule-making was identified by 65 per cent of our members as limiting their ability and willingness to invest in China, and has remained a top challenge to business for the last four years in a row,” AmCham said.James Zimmerman, the group’s China chairman, said the recommendations had been submitted to both the Chinese and US governments. China’s rule-making about Information and Communications Technology (ICT), for example, which is “by some measures the largest single category of US exports to China” and a key issue in the US-China Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) negotiations, had lacked transparency, AmCham officials said.
- http://europe.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2015-06/09/content_20944097.htm Negotiations between China and the United States on the proposed Bilateral Investment Treaty are at a crucial juncture, as the two sides deliberate on the negative lists, a former US government official said. The most difficult task for the two sides is to finalize and reach a consensus on the size of the negative list, Henry Paulson, the former US Treasury secretary, said during a news conference in Beijing on Monday."It was a very big and positive change when China agreed to publish the negative list. So now the key will be to make this list as small as possible," he said. Premier Li Keqiang had expressed China's willingness, during a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Beijing last month, to speed up negotiations over the BIT, for an agreement on terms and conditions for direct investment between the two sides. The negative list from China, which has not yet been disclosed to the public, identifies some industries that will not be open for US investment. Li has called for pushing forward talks about the negative lists in a constructive manner. The US has already provided its negative list to China, but Finance Minister Lou Jiwei said in April that "China was uncomfortable with it". President Xi Jinping will make an official visit to the US in September, which is seen as an important chance to strengthen cooperation between the world's two largest economies, but the Sino-US bilateral relationship is becoming more complicated, according to Paulson.

- President Donald Trump will decide in the next two weeks whether to block a Chinese-backed private equity firm from buying a U.S. chipmaker, putting his economic and diplomatic relations with China under a spotlight. Lattice Semiconductor Corp (LSCC.O) said in a filing Friday it will seek Trump’s approval for its proposed $1.3 billion sale to Canyon Bridge Capital Partners, gambling that the former real estate dealmaker will approve the tie-up against the advice of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which scrutinizes foreign deals for national security concerns.The decision, which the filing said will be made by the White House in the next 15 days, comes at a sensitive time.

China’s last five-year plan highlighted energy, healthcare, steel and other sectors as focuses of its major initiatives from 2011 to 2015. Over the same period, US companies such as health insurer Anthem, US Steel, Westinghouse Electric and medical device company Medtronic all suffered what are believed by US officials to be state-sponsored hacks by China, along with a host of other US companies in areas that have been considered to be critical by Beijing. “To China, gaining knowledge about seed technology or medical devices are matters of national security,” an FBI official said. “So it’s not seen as stealing the way we see it. That’s why everything is fair game to them and why companies active in sectors mentioned in the five-year plans have to be extra vigilant.” The latest plan covering 2016 to 2020 — the 13th under the Communist regime — focuses on modernising the military and improving green technology, including defence stealth technology and renewable energy. Innovation also plays a central role in the programme, with Beijing calling for more advances in everything from aircraft engines to “quantum teleportation”.

- http://www.reuters.com/article/us-zte-usa-china-idUSKCN0W80AV The U.S. Commerce Department is set to place export restrictions on Chinese telecoms equipment maker ZTE Corp (000063.SZ) for alleged violations of U.S. export controls on Iran, according to documents seen by Reuters. The restrictions will make it difficult for the company to acquire U.S. products by requiring ZTE's suppliers to apply for an export license before shipping any American-made equipment or parts to ZTE. According to a Commerce Department notice that will be published next week in the U.S. Federal Register, the license applications generally will be denied. The restrictions will take effect Tuesday, Reuters has learned, and apply to any company worldwide that wants to ship American-made products to ZTE Corp in China. Those companies are not the target of the export curbs on ZTE. "This is a significant new burden on trade with ZTE," a senior official at the Commerce Department told Reuters. The official declined to comment on whether the U.S. government might take further action against ZTE. The company can appeal against the action. ZTE, based in Shenzhen, said in a statement on Sunday that it was aware of media reports on U.S. export restrictions. "ZTE is highly concerned about recent media reports relating to a U.S. Department of Commerce investigation," the company said. "ZTE has been working with associated U.S. government departments on investigations since 2012 and maintains constant communication with associated departments and is committed to fully address and resolve any concerns." The Commerce Department investigated ZTE for alleged export-control violations following reports by Reuters in 2012 that the company had signed contracts to ship millions of dollars worth of hardware and software from some of America's best-known technology companies to Iran's largest telecoms carrier, Telecommunication Co of Iran (TCI), and a unit of the consortium that controls it. The U.S. companies, which included Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), IBM (IBM.N), Oracle Corp (ORCL.N) and Dell Inc [DI.UL], have all said they were not aware of the Iranian contracts. It is not clear if any of the companies still do business with ZTE.

Opinions are split on whether the negotiations could help resolve thedispute, which, if it remains unresolved, could have a negative impactthroughout China's IT industry. Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng on Tuesday said China is "greatlydissatisfied" with the US decision to ban the Shenzhen, Guangdong-basedcompany from buying parts from US suppliers. "I hope the US could handle the issue with discretion to avoid harming thestable, healthy development of Sino-US trade ties," said Gao. He added ZTEhas sent a delegation to Washington to discuss the issue with the USauthorities. The US Commerce Department confirmed to The Wall Street Journal thatnegotiations are under way. "These discussions have been constructive, and we will continue to seek aresolution," said the US newspaper, citing an unnamed senior official atthe department. ZTE did not elaborate on the details of the talks, saying nofinal decision has been made. The US Commerce Department last week banned ZTE's suppliers in the USfrom selling components to the Chinese company amid claims that ZTEexported prohibited products to Iran. The US suppliers, including mobile chip giant Qualcomm Inc, will need toapply for permits from the US government before selling products to ZTE. ZTE said in a statement its operations were in compliance with the lawsand regulations in every local market. The company pledged to cooperatewith the investigation. Hu Lu, an analyst at Changjiang Securities Co Ltd, said the punishmentwas related to a multi-million-dollar hardware and software export dealZTE signed with Telecommunication Company of Iran in 2012. The USforbids a long list of US-made IT products from being sold to Iran.

The renewed Commerce Department license allows ZTE to continue exporting equipment containing U.S. technology. The agency said in March that its first reprieve could be extended if the company cooperated with the government. Experts had said U.S. export restrictions were some of the toughest ever applied and would have caused disruption across ZTE's sprawling global supply chain.

- 英國傳媒周三引述消息指,中國中興通訊周一已與美國政府簽署原則性協議,華府將解除禁令容許中興恢復業務,中興最高或需向美方支付逾十七億美元(約一百三十三億港元)罰款。中興只要一獲解禁,便可於數小時內恢復對外營運。雖然美國商務部表示仍未和中興簽署最終協議,惟有內地財經傳媒引述中興內部人士消息指,中興已簽署由美方制訂的原則性協議,但由於商務部計劃修改內容,經修訂的協議仍未簽署。中興暫時未發表官方回應。報道指,中興須繳付十億美元(約七十八億港元)罰款,若日後再違規需再支付四億美元罰款(約三十一億二千萬港元)。連同去年中興支付的罰款,總數或逾十七億美元罰款。此外,中興需在三十日內撤換董事局及管理層,並在不設限下讓美方到廠內查核,確保美國賣出的零件僅用於中興通訊;中興須在網站公布其產品的美國零部件使用數據。 http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20180607/00180_005.html

The Senate voted 85 to 10 to approve the $716 billion piece of legislation with little fanfare — a sign of how much common ground there is between the House and Senate versions of the bill, which must still be woven into a single piece of legislation. It also serves as a reminder that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who as chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee has steered the bill through many a floor fight in recent years, continues to battle a rare and serious form of brain cancer. The measure is named after him.

- Yan Dapeng, a leading expert in the development of fiber lasers, was visiting Wuhan in 2006 when he found out the fiber laser products he had helped create in the United States were sold to China at high, nonnegotiable prices, with poor after-sales service. One year later, at the age of 51, Yan resigned from his US job, came back to China and partnered with a domestic company to found Raycus, which has developed into a leading developer and manufacturer of high-powered fiber laser and core components in China, breaking the American monopoly in the sector. In 2013, Raycus succeeded in developing China's first 10 kW fiber laser-making China the second country to master the technology in the world. Last year, a 20 kW fiber laser produced by Raycus was unveiled at the laser technology and industry development forum held in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province. That product is expected to enter mass production by 2018, according to the company. Fiber laser, which releases laser energy through a fiber as thin as a human hair, has been widely applied in aerospace, shipbuilding, airplane and auto manufacturing, as well as 3D printing. It is an indispensable component of precision machining. Compared with carbon dioxide laser, fiber lasers feature three times faster emitting speed, 20 percent higher energy conversion efficiency, four times less power consumption, with no noise or pollution emitted. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2017-09/06/content_31620713.htm

"In the past, when our ships met at sea, both of us - captains from the two navies - didn't know what the other side was thinking or how we should communicate with each other," said Commander Zhao Yanquan, captain of a missile destroyer of the South Sea Fleet of the People's Liberation Army navy. "Through the visit, we began to get acquainted personally and shared our thoughts on many things," Zhao said. Twenty-nine navy officers, two of them women, flew to Washington on Feb 1 for the start of a six-day exchange program with their US counter-parts.http://www.chinadailyasia.com/nation/2015-02/12/content_15227194.html

「口講口賠」是沒有意義的。中國要證明穆廸有錯,最直接的方法,就是拿市場數據來反駁。由中國財政部發行美國債,最主要的作用,就是用這批債券的市價來對比美國財政部的市價;假如中國財政部的美元債比美國財政部更貴,一眾愛國愛黨人士便有大條道理說穆廸「睇錯市」:「喂阿哥,債市反映,美國財政部發嘅國債仲貴過我哋喎,咁中國嘅主權債務評級係咪高過美國先?」

- http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1703826/chinese-firms-us-high-speed-rail-talks State-owned firms were in talks to sell high-speed trains to the United States, senior officials said yesterday, a deal that would be likely to ignite controversy. China's leaders have been promoting the country's fast-rail technologies in meetings with foreign politicians as they seek to move the country's exports up the value chain, and Chinese companies are building high-speed rail networks in Turkey and Venezuela. But a contract for a Chinese-led consortium to build a high-speed rail line in Mexico was scrapped only days after it was signed, and a deal to supply subway trains to Boston also generated controversy. For China to build infrastructure in the United States - where a number of high-speed rail proposals have come to naught - or supply it with rolling stock would be politically sensitive. But Zhi Luxun, a senior official with the Ministry of Commerce's foreign trade department, said: "There are currently discussions with the United States." He was responding to a question about possible Chinese exports of high-speed trains. Officials did not provide further details and said it was a matter for the companies concerned. A number of high-speed rail projects are under consideration in the United States including in Texas and Florida, but only one has entered the early stages of construction - in California, under a Spanish consortium - while others have fallen by the wayside.
- http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34277739 A consortium of Chinese rail firms has teamed up with private US company XpressWest to build a high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

There are about a dozen high-speed rail projects in the US, but they have struggled to gain traction. Private rail venture XpressWest will form a joint venture with China Railway International USA. The firm is owned by a consortium made up of subsidiaries from state firms China Railway Group, CRRC, China State Construction Engineering Corporation and China Railway Signal & Communication Corporation.

- https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/long-reads/article/3034335/us-sees-chinese-state-owned-rail-company-crrc four US companies in the freight-wagon business have persuaded the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass legislation that would withhold federal funds for any municipal project using CRRC wagons. Echoing the Trump administration’s charges against Chinese telecoms giants Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corp, CRRC’s antagonists argue that the train maker will use its advantages as a subsidised company to dominate not only the US passenger-carriage industry but also, eventually, the larger freight-wagon business. They say, too, that China will use CRRC coaches for espionage, an economic and military security concern. Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have embraced these arguments, and if you’d like Washington to help you kneecap a Chinese rival, now is a good time. FBI director Christopher Wray told a congressional hearing in July that “there is no country that poses a more severe counter-intelligence threat to this country right now than China”, accusing it of trying “to steal their way up the economic ladder at our expense”. Lobbyist Erik Olson, of the Rail Security Alliance, which represents the four American freight-wagon companies, says it’s perilous to give CRRC any benefit of the doubt. “You can’t mitigate against the threat,” he says. “You have to choose risk avoidance: don’t buy the train in the first place.”

The plan calls for the United States Commerce Department to impose tariffs on all solar panelsassembled in China, regardless of the source of their component cells.

It had indicated that Chinese companies may be entitled to lower rates, but the decision announced on Wednesday to impose tariffs of 238.95 percent reversed that. The department had conducted a review of whether Chinese solar manufacturing firms had received subsidies from the government between March 2012 and November 2013. Producers now face anti-dumping and anti-subsidy rates of about 31 percent on Chinese products. The review and tariff rates are part of an ongoing trade dispute between the US and China that was initiated by SolarWorld AG, a Germany-owned US-based company that filed a petition accusing Chinese manufacturers of receiving subsidies from the government and dumping them in the US market. SolarWorld had said that firms from the Chinese mainland avoided duties by taking production of certain solar panel parts to Taiwan instead.
- https://www.ft.com/content/fd5b290e-3c45-11e7-821a-6027b8a20f23 US solar power businesses are braced for an imminent decision from the country’s International Trade Commission on whether to start a process that could lead to a sharp contraction in the market and thousands of job losses. The ITC is considering a call from Suniva, a bankrupt Chinese-owned manufacturer of solar cells and panels in the US, for higher tariffs on imported products to stop low-priced foreign competition. The commission is expected to make a decision soon on whether to investigate the company’s complaint. The case could be an early test of President Donald Trump’s trade policies and stance on renewable energy. If the tariffs sought by Suniva are imposed, they would sharply increase the price of panels, also known as modules, and the silicon cells used to make them, and it would be harder for solar power to compete against other energy sources. The Solar Energy Industries Association, the lobby group, has warned that the tariffs would threaten thousands of jobs in occupations such as designing, installing and managing solar power systems, which account for about 85 per cent of the employment in the sector.

Sales of California-grown garlic are now increasing after decades of losing ground to cheaper Chinese imports. Sales are poised to get even better as Chinese garlic faces even higher tariffs, with no end to the trade war in sight. “In a perfect world, we’d love to see the tariffs stay on forever,” said Ken Christopher, executive vice president of family owned Christopher Ranch, the largest of three remaining commercial garlic producers in the United States. While many farmers are suffering through the trade war because they relied heavily on imports to China, U.S. garlic growers benefit because they rely overwhelmingly on domestic sales.

- http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-trade-idUSKCN0Y11E8 The Obama administration on Tuesday brought a fresh challenge to China's anti-dumping duties on U.S. broiler chicken products at the World Trade Organization in an effort to bring the long-running trade dispute to a close. The U.S. Trade Representative's office said it is making claims that China's anti-dumping and countervailing duties violate WTO rules, partly because China failed to properly calculate U.S. poultry production costs. China also failed to conduct transparent investigations and breached WTO rules in its finding that U.S. poultry exports have injured Chinese producers, USTR said. The complaint seeks consultations with Beijing on the matter. The complaint is the second U.S. WTO objection to China's 2010 imposition of anti-dumping duties of up to 105.4 percent, and anti-subsidy duties of up to 30.3 percent, on U.S. broiler chicken products. In a statement posted on its official website on Wednesday, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said it regrets the action the U.S. has taken but will resolve the dispute in accordance with WTO processes.

The US pork industry is teaming up with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd to pitch more of its products to online shoppers in China. The US Meat Export Federation, a trade association committed to developing international markets for US beef, pork and lamb, has recently worked with the group-buying website Juhuasuan and online retail platform Tmall, both operated by Alibaba, to sell US pork on the Juhuasuan website. - https://www.ft.com/content/f90a6eb6-7599-11e9-bbad-7c18c0ea0201 US farmers, already feeling the impact of man-made problems in the form of political tensions with China, are about to face a natural challenge, with the effects of the African swine fever that is decimating China’s pig herds. The ASF outbreak has led to a cull of more than 1m pigs, according to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization. Since August, when China reported the outbreak, the disease has spread across the country and beyond its borders. Sow and hog inventories have fallen 21 per cent and 18.8 per cent respectively, compared with the same month in 2018, according to Chinese agricultural ministry data cited by US Department of Agriculture officials in Beijing. “The sow inventory decline is the largest in the past 10 years,” said USDA officials. The impact for US farmers is likely to be significant. The sharp decline in pig inventories is set to bring an abrupt halt to the continuous rise in China’s feed imports over the past two decades, especially of soyabeans. Dairy exporters, who sell whey powder to China for piglet feed, might also be hit. On the other hand, the outbreak might offer opportunity to pork producers in the US, Europe and Brazil. “It is a rare combination of events that presents pig producers with higher prices, higher export volumes and lower feed prices,” said the FAO. Leading poultry exporters Brazil, the US and Thailand could also benefit from the ASF outbreak as China turns to alternative protein sources.

The removal of the ban applies to cattle that are under 30 months old, according to a joint statement issued on Thursday by the Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. The authorities said China would allow imports of beef that comply with China's traceability and quarantine requirements. China has banned imports of most US beef since 2003, partly due to the concerns over the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as "mad cow disease". The lifting of the ban will be subject to the completion of detailed quarantine requirements, which will be announced at a later date, the statement said.

FOR a picture of America’s pre-crisis economy, pay a visit to the south-east corner of Las Vegas. Where the valley begins to rise into the high desert, a Chinese developer has carved the top off a mountain. A wide, empty, road rises into what looks like the remnants of an Inca city. The project, named “Ascaya”, was once America’s biggest excavation site. The idea was to sell the plots to Las Vegas’s elite, whose mansions would enjoy a view over the desert in one direction and the bacchanalia of the Strip ten miles away in the other. Instead, in 2009, Las Vegas’s economy died. For five years the project appeared doomed to become a monument, carved into rock, to an unsustainable housing boom. Now however, construction has restarted—not just on this site, but on several hundred others at the city’s edge. House prices, like employment, visitor numbers and gambling revenues, are creeping up again. Las Vegas’s economy is recovering—fitfully, but in a way that is more sustainable than its previous boom was. The city, unique though it is, is an exaggerated microcosm of America at large. - http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/hkedition/2015-09/15/content_21853054.htm Gains far outweigh higher labor costs as mainland firms head west to cut transport expensesand beat trade barriers. After making their mark in Southeast Asia and Africa, enterprises from Dongguan, Guangdongprovince, are now focusing on new frontiers further afield. A group of Dongguan firms have decided to set up a 60,000-square-meter industrial park in theUS state of Arkansas and move a part of their production there. The manufacturing base isexpected to be completed and begin operation by early next year. KingBall Group is among the first companies to have confirmed the westward move. Theenterprise, which specializes in producing toys and stationery, will be the first to experience what"Made in the US" feels like, and is also prepared to take up the challenge of operating in one ofthe world's most strictly regulated and high-cost labor markets with stringent quality guidelines. "This is our first try. There are underlying risks, of course. But if we run it well, a number of firmswill follow," said Lan Junxiong, an executive at KingBall. Indeed, much higher labor costs compared with those in Dongguan will be a major challenge. "Ordinary workers in Arkansas normally earn $2,000 monthly. That is equivalent to more than12,000 yuan," Lan says. That is also more than double the usual monthly wages of 5,000 yuan earned by workers in thesouthern Guangdong city.

The winning bid of $15.83 million came from the non-profit group Research Center on Natural Conservation, backed by a principal of China-based SouFun Holdings Ltd. They beat out California-based Global Preparatory Academies, which was funded by other Chinese investors, NYMA's lawyer Lewis Wrobel told Reuters. NYMA, located in Cornwall, New York, owed approximately $11.5 million to $12 million to creditors, principally local real estate firm Cornwall Improvement, Wrobel said. Global Preparatory had signed a contract to purchase the school for about $13.2 million but failed to deliver the down payment, forcing the sale. A pre-sale appraisal valued the three parcels that made up the school at $10.1 million. Bidding moved in $100,000 increments, said Mika Saarela, dean of academics at NYMA. NYMA filed for bankruptcy March 3 but managed to complete the semester and graduate its 15 seniors. Enrollment dropped from a high of more than 500 during the 1960s to less than 100 in the last academic year, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The fine is in addition to more than $2.1 million in restitution the company paid the government for importing the electrodes but lying about their size to avoid anti-dumping duties imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The government sued the company in 2013 and settled that case last week when the company paid $3 million, which included the restitution but not the criminal fine imposed Monday. According to the criminal charges, the company imported the electrodes, which are used to power electric arc steel furnaces, but lied about their size in April and June 2011 on shipments from Dalian, China. The federal government charges a duty of nearly 160 percent on electrodes that are less than 16 inches in diameter to stop Chinese companies from dumping cheap smaller electrodes on the market. Ameri-Source International, based in Bethel Park, just south of Pittsburgh, was falsely claiming the electrodes it imported were larger to avoid paying the duty, according to the criminal charges. emigration to USA

To address this its mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, wants to make it the most immigrant-friendly city in the world. Its libraries provide Spanish-language exercise classes. To help those with no papers, the city is introducing micro-loans which require no credit checks. In 2012 Ms Rawlings-Blake announced that city police would no longer routinely check the immigration status of citizens or enforce any federal immigration law unless explicitly required to. The then governor, Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, made it possible for illegal immigrants to get driving licences. Such welcoming policies are spreading. Rustbelt cities like Cleveland, Dayton and Philadelphia all avidly court immigrants. Rick Snyder, the Republican governor of Michigan, has asked the federal government to offer 50,000 visas to people who agree to live in Detroit. His administration has directed cash towards NGOs that market Motown to immigrants and made it easier for skilled migrants to get professional licences. Like Baltimore, Detroit woos refugees brought to America under federal programmes—and even tries to poach those who may have settled elsewhere.

- https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-05-31/a-mystery-at-ivanka-s-shoe-factory This week, an activist group reported that one of its investigators had been arrested and two others had disappeared while conducting an undercover probe of a Chinese shoe factory. The factory, owned by the Huajian Group, makes as many as 20 million pairs of shoes a year for some of the world's top labels. But in recent months, it's become famous for one of its smaller clients: Ivanka Trump's brand. Much about this incident remains unclear. But I'd bet on one thing: It's highly unlikely that it has much of anything to do with the Trumps. Instead, the officials involved were most likely engaged in a ham-handed effort to prevent labor unrest and protect a major employer at a time when China's traditional factories are badly ailing. First, consider the broader context. Starting in the 1990s, shoes, more than just about any other product, came to symbolize the cost savings that China's factories promised to global manufacturers. By the mid-2000s, more than half the world's shoe production had relocated to China, with Dongguan -- home of the Huajian Group -- becoming the hub. Around 2008, however, Dongguan's shoe industry began a slow decline. Several factors contributed, including the financial crisis, a decline in the working-age population, rising labor costs and -- most seriously -- cheaper manufacturing centers in othercountries. Between 2012 and 2016, China's share of global footwear exports declined from 74 percent to 65 percent. A visit to Dongguan reveals the hardship this has wrought. Factories that once employed thousands are now empty, or filling up with robots and other kinds of automation. Manufacturers in the region have been beset by protests and strikes. The government, always on watch for labor strife, has become even less tolerant of dissent. Some inland areas have been an exception to this trend, primarily because workers there have been willing to tolerate lower wages. That includes Jiangxi Province, where Huajian Group's Ganzhou Huajian International Shoe City set up business. Among other products, it makes Trump-branded shoes. Based on the company's production figures, the factory likely employs thousands of workers. According to China Labor Watch, the group that was investigating the plant, it does so using excessive overtime, salaries below minimum wage and interns.

It also points to a broader problem weighing down the buoyant American interest in Chinese language education: a shortage of Americans who are both highly fluent speakers and properly accredited schoolteachers. This shortage has left the nation’s 1,100 plus schools with Chinese language programmes to draw on a wide range of solutions, from reworking the teacher accreditation procedures to contracting impermanent guest teachers directly from China and sponsoring green cards or skilled foreign worker visas for others. Schools reliant on foreign teachers are now finding themselves warily eyeing the Trump administration’s tightening of immigration and visa policies, as executive orders and memos have urged stricter administrative control of both the H1B visa process, for skilled foreign workers, and J1s for visiting scholars.

- The US government is planning a major new Mandarin-language initiative in an effort to bolster its global reputation at a time of Chinese ascendancy and eroding American soft power.According to internal memos, job placement advertisements and interviews with people close to Washington’s information arms, Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Asia (RFA) are joining forces on a new network called Global Mandarin.Its annual budget would be between US$5 million and US$10 million, potentially rising in the second year, according to a source who requested anonymity given links to the networks, with the focus on softer content aimed at reaching younger Chinese in the US, China and beyond.This follows a recent reorganisation and rebranding of US government information efforts. In 2017, VOA, RFA and other networks were put under the newly created US Agency for Global Media, an independent federal agency whose mission is to “inform, engage and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy”.https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3039109/us-launches-new-mandarin-network-washington-and-beijing-battle

- Yale’s program sending undergraduates to study at Peking University for credit will be canceled, the News learned Tuesday. The decision to end the Peking University-Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program in Beijing, disclosed to some faculty members in a Tuesday email from Jane Edwards, dean of international and professional experience, brings an abrupt end to a partnership with Peking University that Yale reaffirmed seven months ago. The joint exchange program, which was launched in fall 2006, offered Yale students the opportunity to spend a semester living and studying at PKU. John Treat, professor of East Asian languages and literatures and a former member of the Yale-PKU faculty advisory committee, confirmed the decision to the News. http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2012/07/25/updated-yale-pku-program-to-be-canceled/

- Edward Alsworth Ross (December 12, 1866 – July 22, 1951) was a progressive[1] American sociologist, eugenicist, and major figure of early criminology. He was born in Virden, Illinois. His father was a farmer. He attended Coe College and graduated in 1887. After two years as an instructor at a business school, the Fort Dodge Commercial Institute, he went to Germany for graduate study at the University of Berlin. He returned to the U.S., and in 1891 he received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in political economy under Richard T. Ely, with minors in philosophy and ethics. Ross was a professor at Indiana University (1891–1892), secretary of the American Economic Association (1892), professor at Cornell University (1892–1893), and professor at Stanford University (1893–1900). In 1913, the State of Wisconsin passed its first sterilization law. Ross, who lived in Wisconsin at the time, was a reserved proponent of sterilization and indicated his support for the measure.[18] He qualified his support by contrasting it with the greater harm of hanging a man.and advocated its initial use "only to extreme cases, where the commitments and the record pile up an overwhelming case." Involuntary sterilization remained legal in Wisconsin until July 1978. Ross visited Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. He endorsed the revolution even as he acknowledged its bloody origins. He was subsequently a leading advocate of US recognition of the Soviet Union. However, he later served on the Dewey Commission, which cleared Leon Trotsky of the charges made against him by the Soviet government during the Moscow Trials.

- 隨着美國華盛頓的唐人街及周邊地區逐漸發展為高級社區,不少發展商計劃將低收入住宅樓宇改建,在該處居住多年的年長華人移民或被迫遷出家園。近日大批華人居民在華盛頓唐人街社區集會,抗議遷拆計劃,他們用中文和英文舉出標語和喊口號,盡最後努力保障居住權益。哥倫比亞廣播公司旗下WUSA9新聞網報道,上周三晚在華盛頓西北部的博物館廣場前,眾多華裔居民舉行集會,抗議當地的Section8住宅大樓定於上周四午夜由發展商收回改建,此後該地區將被豪華住宅取代。該棟大樓的所有者由Parcel One Phase One等多家公司共同營運,居民將獲得由政府發放的補助。據統計,約有一半唐人街華人都居住在博物館廣場。 http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2015/10/04/a18-1004.pdf
- 我在波士頓居住了很多年,一直不能理解箇中原因,直到自己出了社會、做了生意,認識了一些中國城的老居民們後才知道:原來中國城內,長期都是由許多的『公所』勢力把持──這些老移民,多半是在中共執政大陸之前,就移民來到波士頓的廣東、福建後代。他們世居在此,從第一代算起已經在美國超過百年,但很多人英文跟國語都說不好,只是在自己的世界裡說著粵語,做著一些「壟斷的生意」:例如,很多時候儘管外來客有錢繳店租,想在中國城內開一間小店卻很困難,因為中國城內很多老舊的房子既不翻新、也不租給別人,除非你「有關係」、或者你就是「公所」的人。https://crossing.cw.com.tw/blogTopic.action?id=1097&nid=10582
