Old news, Obama let them set one up in the west, and letting them bring their people in to run it.
It's illegal, but happening.

We will see how this pans out. Does Europe really trust the Chinese ?


Europe’s ‘Romance With Renminbi’: What Are the Chances for Success


The central parity rate of the Chinese yuan, or renminbi as it's also known, weakened 91 basis points against the US dollar on Wednesday with analysts forecasting its further weakening by the end of the year; however, this has not prevented the West – and Europe in particular – from doubling down on the currency… let's have a look why.


De-Dollarization: Is It Time for Renminbi to Shoulder Dollar's Burden?
The central parity rate of the Chinese currency weakened 91 basis points to 6.4754 against the US dollar on Wednesday, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trading System.

An HSBC currency analyst suggests further depreciation of the currency towards 6.9 against the US dollar by the end of the year. However, this has not prevented the West – and Europe in particular – from doubling down on the currency.

Asia market analysts Miguel Otero-Iglesias and Nicola Casarini have explained what lies behind Europe’s investment in the renminbi.

“When the International Monetary Fund announced in December that the renminbi would join the US dollar, the British pound, the euro, and the Japanese yen in the currency basket underlying its unit of account, the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket, the decision was clearly political,” reads their analytical article on the issue on the website Project Syndicate.

Economic Sentiment Picks Up in China as Gov't Progress on Reform
Even though the currency performs well and its internationalization is sustaining, the authors explained that its inclusion in the SDR “owes much to the decision by the US to defer to Europe.”

“The US had argued for years that the renminbi should be included in the SDR only if China opened its capital account, let its currency float freely, and had a more independent central bank. None of this has happened,” the analysts note.

“But after China established the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank with the support of Europe, the US agreed to drop its objections. After all, the SDR basket plays a minor role in global finance, and admitting the renminbi was seen as a small price to pay to keep China embedded in the Bretton Woods institutions,” the authors say.

Europe’s investment in the renminbi, they suggest, goes far beyond political symbolism.

“The currency’s inclusion in the SDR, it is hoped, will encourage China to liberalize its capital account further,” the analysts suggest.

Further Stimulus: China Cuts Reserve Requirements, Renminbi Dips
Europe would also like to welcome the country to the core group of world powers that decide global monetary affairs.

“British Chancellor George Osborne has made it clear that he would like the City of London to be the most important offshore market for renminbi trading and services. It was no coincidence that during President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the United Kingdom in October 2015, China chose London to issue its first overseas renminbi sovereign debt,” the authors suggest.

“The rest of Europe is equally enthusiastic. Today, the continent is home to the largest number of renminbi bank clearings. Offshore renminbi hubs have emerged in Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Luxemburg, Prague, and Zurich, and most of Europe’s central banks have added – or are considering adding – China’s currency to their portfolios.”

However, the analysts acknowledge that the timing for such a “romance” is not particularly good, as the currency is under speculative attack and the Chinese themselves are “losing confidence.”

“Europe’s efforts could succeed; but unless China makes its currency even more widely accessible and opens its market further, they are almost sure to fail,” they state.

Vietnam Demands China Remove $1 Billion Oil Rig Amid Sovereignty Row

Beijing’s relations with former regional allies continue to deteriorate as Chinese regime steadfastly continues development efforts throughout the South China Sea.

On Thursday, Vietnam criticized China over the location of an oil rig, calling on Beijing to abandon plans to drill in contested waters, in the latest sign of regional unease.

The $1 billion oil-extraction structure, which led to a diplomatic standoff between the two countries in 2014, was moved by Beijing to the Gulf of Tonkin in the South China Sea, despite Vietnamese claims that the countries still needed to "execute delineation discussions."

In a statement, Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said: "Vietnam resolutely opposes and demands that China cancel its plan to drill and calls on China to immediately remove the Hai Duong 981 oil rig out of this area."

In the statement, Binh also said that China must take "no further unilateral actions that further complicate the situation, and make practical contributions to peace and stability."

The incident comes two years after China parked the oil rig for 10 weeks in waters Vietnam claimed were its exclusive economic zone, which severely strained tensions between the two countries that had previously been allies.

Since the incident two years ago, Vietnam has worked to normalize relations with Washington, further complicating China’s diplomatic reputation throughout the South China Sea region.

Binh also criticized China’s decision to build and operate a lighthouse along the Spratly archipelago, claiming the move by China violated Vietnam’s sovereignty and calling it "illegal and worthless."

Amid rising regional tensions, China continues to claim most of the territory in the resource-rich South China Sea, despite rival claims by Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.

Some Chinese heads are going to roll.

Panama Papers Tie More of China’s Elite to Secret Accounts
By MICHAEL FORSYTHE

APRIL 6, 2016

HONG KONG — At least three of the seven people on the Chinese Communist Party’s most powerful committee, including President Xi Jinping, have relatives who have controlled secretive offshore companies, the organization that has publicized a trove of leaked documents about hidden wealth reported on Wednesday.

The disclosures by the organization, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, risked new embarrassment for the Chinese authorities, already unnerved and infuriated by the organization’s leaks of the documents, known as the Panama Papers.

Chinese government censors have moved aggressively since the first release of leaked documents on Sunday to purge any media’s mention of them in China, going so far as to block Internet searches and online discussions that involve the words “Panama Papers.”

Liu Yunshan, China’s propaganda chief, in Beijing in March. His daughter-in-law was once a shareholder and director of a company registered in the British Virgin Islands.

WU HONG / EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The documents, which came from Mossack Fonseca, a boutique Panamanian law firm that specializes in creating tax shelters and secretive corporations for wealthy clients, have jolted political leaders and other powerful figures around the world. But they are considered especially sensitive in China, where the Communist Party, under Mr. Xi, has pledged to eradicate corruption within its ranks and seeks to portray itself as a champion of equality, despite some of the world’s most glaring income disparities.

The information made public by the consortium on Wednesday included material on the Communist Party Politburo Standing Committee, the seven-member group, all men, that wields ultimate power in the country.

The daughter-in-law of Liu Yunshan, China’s propaganda chief, was once a shareholder and director of a company registered in the British Virgin Islands, and the son-in-law of Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli was a shareholder in three companies domiciled in the British tax haven, the consortium reported.

President Xi is the third member of the Politburo committee cited in the report as having a relative who controlled offshore companies. The ties of Mr. Xi’s brother-in-law, Deng Jiagui, to offshore companies have been known since 2012, when a Bloomberg News article about Mr. Xi’s family wealth detailed the business empire of Mr. Deng and his wife, Qi Qiaoqiao, the president’s sister.

Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli in Beijing last month. His son-in-law was a shareholder in three companies domiciled in the British Virgin Islands.

HOW HWEE YOUNG / EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The consortium’s review of the leaked documents found that Mr. Deng had acquired three additional offshore companies, well before Mr. Xi became China’s top leader and made a crackdown on corruption one of the centerpieces of his leadership.

The disclosures provide further insight into how China’s political elite has tapped into the global network of lawyers and wealth managers who, for a fee, can set up complex corporate structures that often have the effect of cloaking vast personal wealth.

It is not illegal for Chinese citizens to own companies offshore, and there are legitimate reasons for having one. Thousands of Chinese nationals have set up companies in offshore havens such as the British Virgin Islands and the Seychelles. Mossack Fonseca has more offices in China than in any other country, according to the company’s website.

Many of China’s most powerful families set up offshore companies during the administration of Hu Jintao, who preceded Mr. Xi as president and as leader of the Communist Party. Family members or close business associates of at least five of the nine men who served on the Politburo Standing Committee from 2007 through 2012 had links to offshore accounts, according to records reviewed by The New York Times.


President Xi Jinping in Beijing in 2012. The ties of Mr. Xi’s brother-in-law to offshore companies have been known for several years.

It was during that period that Jia Liqing, the wife of Mr. Liu’s son, Liu Lefei, appears to have become the director and a shareholder of Ultra TimeInvestments, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 2009, according to the consortium's report. It is not clear what Ultra Time was used for, if anything. A Google search for the company’s name on Wednesday turned up only one result, a list of offshore “shelf companies” stating that Ultra Time had been incorporated on April 20, 2009.

Ms. Jia and her husband represent two of the most potent arms of the Chinese Communist Party. She is the daughter of China’s former minister of public security and chief prosecutor, Jia Chunwang, according to two people who have met the couple and who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to preserve those relationships. Liu Lefei’s father oversees the country’s propaganda apparatus.

Liu Lefei heads one of China’s leading private equity firms and is a vice chairman of Citic Securities, the brokerage arm of the country’s biggest financial conglomerate. Ms. Jia was a banker at Merrill Lynch until 2014, according to online records from the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.

A woman who answered a Chinesecellphone number listed for Ms. Jia on the alumni website of Yale University, where she obtained an M.B.A., hung up after the caller identified himself as a New York Times reporter.

The consortium of journalists also reported that Lee Shing Put, a son-in-law of Mr. Zhang, the seventh-ranking person on the Politburo Standing Committee, was a shareholder in Zennon Capital Management, registered in the British Virgin Islands, and two other companies, Sino Reliance Networks and Glory TopInvestments.

Zennon Capital Management is the owner of a Hong Kong company that has the same name as an entity of which Mr. Lee is a director, according to Hong Kong’s companyregistry. No information could be found on Sino Reliance Networks and Glory TopInvestments, although a Hong Kong-registered company also is named Glory TopInvestments.

Free Trade Created the Chinese Model

"He who restrains his appetite avoids debt" - Chinese proverb

East will never meet the West of Adam Smith. China never had a culture or tradition of respecting individual human rights. Why would anyone assume that a regime that houses worker slaves in huge chicken coops would adopt a fair trade economy? The Chinese juggernaut is a creature of Western creation. The Red Dragon never reflects the noble contributions of wealth development that grew a stable middle class and spread the fruits of democratic principles. The Chinese model is a harbinger of the global gulag and the coerced society designed to demolish cherished Western Civilization values and liberties. The masters of political confrontations have found a better way than waging world wars for imposing their planetary dominance.

Shamus Cooke - Prepping Minds for War Against China, disagrees.

"In reality, the real problem that the U.S. government has with China is two-fold: China's growth is pushing aside U.S. influence/power all over the world, which has negative influence on the profits of U.S. corporations, which are losing contracts to Chinese companies.

In response, the U.S. is provoking China in the media and militarily, encircling China by arming U.S. allies in the region, especially India, Japan and South Korea. Hillary Clinton responded to this allegation by denying it, while the Obama administration immediately contradicted her by its actions".

Missing in this viewpoint is an appreciation about understanding Asia from a true American warrior. A 1983 Time magazine report from the distinguished Hugh Sidey sums up the wisdom of a lost opportunity for keeping the United States out of another international interventionist tragedy. "Twice Kennedy talked about Asia with General Douglas MacArthur, and each time he came away hushed and thoughtful from what he considered an audience with greatness. MacArthur told Kennedy both times to stay out of a land war on mainland Asia. That is one of the reasons I believe Kennedy would have done differently in Viet Nam and that our history would have been far happier if he had lived".
Internationalism is the curse of America. A full-scale war is not an option. The eminent Richard Russell succinctly states, "China wants to be the most powerful financial power on the planet. Note that I said China wants to be a "financial power," not a military power. Militarily, China simply wants to neutralize the US, and be on a military level with the US. China knows that nobody can win the next major war between super-powers (both sides would be utterly destroyed)".China is no friend of our country. However, the proponents of free trade deliberately conspired to ruin the domestic economy in order to replace free enterprise with a corporate/state substitute. If you doubt this assessment, review 25 Facts That Prove That China Is Kicking Our Rear Ends. Ask if these circumstances are an accident or is it part of a well-designed plan?

A "new phase of globalization" is Taking Shape in Beijing, Flag Planted on American Soil, claims the Activist Post.


"China is becoming a principal global investor. In so doing, it is entrenching itself as an engine of growth for the future, which has an added effect of laying the groundwork for its own currency to take a central role in the new relationships being developed.

At the heart of China's global initiative is China Development Bank; counterpart to the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank. However, unlike the private Federal Reserve, China's investment bank is firmly under state control, not the other way around, allowing it to openly invest domestically and abroad, while integrating coherent government policy decisions. Its investment strategy is rooted in entering a market where they can "buy up low-priced (financial) assets".

At what point will China’s manipulative mentors and free trade globalists, put into motion the final phase of domestic destruction. Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones in Meet The New Boss: China Owns The United States, says the decision is already made.

"China’s huge accumulation of US dollars gives it the sway to lead the United States by the nose like a sheep to slaughter, holding in its hands the power to decide the economic destiny of the now collapsing American empire. The culmination of this process moved a step closer this week when Hu Jintao made it clear that China was preparing to sharpen the knife for the bloodletting to begin, by deriding the dollar as a "product of the past" and signaling its replacement with a new global monetary system based around the Chinese yuan". 

Most astute observers of the rapidly rising prices in the real cost of living should agree. Yet many introspective consumers are oblivious to the significance of the harsh consequences from a Chinese model corporatist economy. In an article in the Washington Times China: U.S. No. 1 no more, Michael Pell exposes the actual objective of the New World Order intentions for universal subjugation.

"As Constantine Menges wrote in "China: The Gathering Threat," "In the traditional Chinese view, the world needs a hegemon - or dominant state - to prevent disorder. The communist Chinese regime believes China should be that hegemon." Traditionally, the Chinese communists have cloaked their hegemonic ambitions under the guidance of the late Deng Xiaoping to "keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big."

The fanfare of the Beijing 2008 Olympics’ is reminiscent of the 1936 Berlin Games. A fascist state under any name or uniform is still a menace to the remnants that defend Western Civilization. The display of adoration by the Obama administration for the inheritor of Mao Zedong legacy is disgusting. Hu Jintao practices a more cultivated version of the same tyranny. Even more reason why the Gold Forecaster editorial, The U.S. & China Going In Opposite Directions, has it correct.

"China is racing to be the number one economic world power and the U.S. is retreating from that position, slowly but surely. Each day, the power of the U.S. to dominate or even influence China falls slightly. Each day the power of China to influence and eventually dominate the global economy grows. At this moment in time China owns around half of U.S. Treasuries. They are already in a position to hurt the U.S. very badly, should they want to. But it is not in the interests of China to do that. China is empire-building and doesn't want to be distracted from that. They appear to be on a winning road already. China's is on the rising road and will soon pass the U.S. going the other way".

However, a more accurate substitute is the use of the phrase "it is not in the interests of the global fascists", who are integrating their own financial empires, into the Chinese model. Recall that Bill Clinton’s treason of Technology Transfer, which allowed for China's ballistic missile arsenal. In the warped world of international hegemony, the real superpowers know that the credible threat of nuclear destruction is far more potent than the actual explosion. The true fallout comes from aiding, abiding for the off shoring of industry, and systematic dismantling of the domestic economy.


Pat Buchanan asks a question in Human Events that needed a reply from Richard Nixon. Nixon was under the thumb of his controller, Henry Kissinger for the Rockefeller cabal, when he approved opening the door to China. The ending of America’s future has a long history of treachery. “Why should any nation emulate the U.S. trade policy of the Bush-Clinton-Bush era that has stripped us of a third of our manufacturing jobs and made us dependent on China and the world for the needs of our national life and the borrowed money to pay for them?”

Free Trade is a sham. The World Trade Organization is an instrument of global exploitation. According to the National Labor Law of January 20, 1934, the Nazi state exerted direct influence and control over all business employing more than twenty persons. This record is pale in comparison to the Chinese practice of corporate sweatshops. A tabloid by the Solidarity Federation, The Catalyst, reports. "The high-profile suicides at Foxconn, who make iPhones for Apple, were merely the tip of the iceberg. There, angry workers rioted over sweatshop conditions, chanting "capitalists kill people" and brandishing pictures of the CEO of Foxconn, Terry Gou". The transnational corporations, who eagerly support repressive regimes, easily adopt the communist methods of the Cultural Revolution.

Americans need to place the blame where it belongs; namely, the World Trade Organization proponents that seek to destroy our independence as a sovereign nation. Interdependence is a formula for global tyranny using the Chinese model to herd the sheeple into their consumer version of an opium addiction. The British Empire contained China for over a century. Now China wants revenge using indebtedness as the reprisal drug. Yet the tangible supplier of the dependency affliction is the central bank monopolies. The new world colonies had better learn the lesson of the Chinese proverb "A good debt is not as good as no debt".

I gotta wonder if this is a result of Multiculturalism, and other failed Liberal Ideas.
You need a since of pride in your country which multiculturalism totally denounces, borders, is nothing in their idea.

CHINA SAYS "NO DOLLARS" FOR NEW YUAN

https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/1152

In a shocking move likely to crush the US economy overnight, China is refusing to make its new gold-backed Yuan, convertible from or to US Dollars. The new Yuan will be introduced next Tuesday, April 19.

When the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed to add the Yuan to the basket of world currencies used for Global Reserves and International Trade, they wanted China to make the Yuan more reliable as a currency. Since then, China has almost un-pegged its Yuan from the Dollar, allowing its value to fluctuate on world markets.

But for years, China has been amassing huge amounts of gold bullion; some have said their appetite for bullion has been "staggering." And with a new gold-backed Yuan to be issued next Tuesday, the entire world will have a choice of a new currency to use for international trade: The old US Dollar which is backed by nothing, or the new Chinese Yuan, which is backed by gold. Which currency would YOU use?

When this new currency is issued, countries that have been forced to use US Dollars for decades, and have had to keep billions of dollars in their foreign currency reserves, will be free to dump those dollars. But they won't be able to dump them to China for the new gold-backed, Yuan!

China has reportedly decided "there can be no conversion of gold-backed Yuan to or from US dollars." What China fears is that many countries around the world will want to trade their reserve US dollars for the new Yuan, leaving China with mountains of worthless US dollars. China already has several trillion in US dollar reserves and does not want or need more.

If news of this decision by China is correct, then countries around the world may just have to decide whether or not they wish to continue trading with the USA at all?

The upheaval this could cause as early as next week, would be staggering.

This is a fast-=developing story; check back.

It's a good move for them, and I really can't blame them. They know Obama has been devaluing the dollar since he has been in office, and it's artificially held up by the Fed/World bank.
When the Bank decides to move to loose the dollar they will. It's all a big plan we know nothing about, and is the biggest theft in history.

This flashpoint hopefully won't begin World War 3 and hopefully China will not succeed in stealing this large area of ocean illegally.

US Navy Continues Provocative 'Freedom of Navigation' Drills in S China Sea © Wikipedia/ U.S. Navy
ASIA & PACIFIC

On Tuesday, the Pentagon conducted its latest maritime reconnaissance in the South China Sea, performing a freedom of navigation patrol within the 12-mile territorial limit of Beijing’s recently-constructed artificial island. This time, China responded in kind.

"These excessive maritime claims are inconsistent with international law as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention, in that they purport to restrict the navigation rights that the United States and all states are entitled to exercise," US Defense Department spokesman Bill Urban said, in an email statement.

The "excessive maritime claims" refers to Beijing’s construction of artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago. While Washington has accused Beijing of attempting to establish an air defense zone, China maintains it has the right to build within its own territory and that the islands will be primarily used for humanitarian purposes.

Tuesday’s freedom of navigation patrol by the guided missile destroyer USS William P. Lawrence is meant to challenge China’s territorial claims. Similar patrols have been conducted in recent months by the USS Lassen and US fighter aircraft.

Previous patrols have passed without incident, but on Tuesday Beijing scrambled a pair of fighter jets and three warships to intercept the US naval vessel.

"[The US patrol] again proves that China’s construction of defensive facilities on the relevant reefs in the Nansha Islands is completely reasonable and totally necessary," China’s Defense Ministry said in a statement, using an alternative name for the Spratlys.

Speaking to reporters, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang claimed that the the action of the USS William P. Lawrence is illegal.

"This action by the US side threatened China’s sovereignty and security interests, endangered the staff and facilities on the reef, and damaged regional peace and stability," he said.

Some experts have suggested that the timing of this latest patrol is intended to coincide with President Barack Obama’s visit to Southeast Asia later this month. US Secretary of State John Kerry, however, downplayed any connection with the president’s itinerary.

"This is not a pointed strategy calculated to do anything except keep a regular process of freedom of navigation operations underway," he told reporters.

While China lays claim to most of the South China Sea, there are overlapping claims by Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Speaking in Vietnam, Daniel Russel, US assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific, highlighted the need for the American patrols.

"If the world’s largest navy cannot sail where international law permits, then what happens to the ships of navy of smaller countries?" he said.

Re-Orienting Innovation: Chinese Scientists Closing Gap With US © AFP 2016/ WANG ZHAO

While Chinese enterprises have a reputation for being world-leaders in copying Western goods, the country's level of innovation is now second only to the US, Consortium News reported.

© RIA NOVOSTI. SERGEY MAMONTOV
Over 280 Chinese Businesses to Participate in Russian-Chinese Expo
China's industrial development is being matched by an increase in the country's scientific research and innovation, John V. Walsh wrote in Consortium News.
Walsh used a recent article published in December in the journal Nature as the starting point for his analysis, entitled "The Rapid Rise of a Research Nation: China's economic boom is mirrored by its similarly meteoric rise in high quality science."

"The 38 pages, which follow that headline in a special Supplement to the journal Nature, tell us that China is now second in the world in high quality science publications and growing fast. This certainly contradicts the Western, dare I say racist, stereotype of the hardworking, but unimaginative, Asian drudge, dutifully churning out mounds of low-quality work," Walsh wrote.

The author used statistics from 68 of the world's highest quality scientific journals to assess the amount of China's scientific research.

Each contributor to the approximately 60,000 journal articles produced annually is given a number, called the Fractional Index, which is weighted according to discipline to give the Weighted Fractional Index (WFC) for each scientist.

Tallying up the number of each country's contributors to the journals, Walsh found that in 2015 China was second only to the US in its WFC score.

The supplement to the journal reported that from 2012 to 2014, the US score decreased, but China's increased.

"What sets China apart is its WFC. While China’s contribution (to the global total) grew 37% from 2012 through 2014, the United States saw a 4% drop over the same period," the Nature Supplement wrote.
