LONDON, March 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama's pressure on China over its currency's exchange rate is a manifestation of hypocrisy from the West and will not work, a British economist has said."The president is playing with fire... Obama really should tread carefully. At the same time, the United States is now at risk of sparking what could be an all-out trade war," said Liam Halligan in an article carried by this week's Sunday Telegraph.Halligan, chief economist at Prosperity Capital Management, predicted that China will not yield to U.S. pressure on the issue."Beijing will eventually allow the yuan to rise, but in its own time and in order to tackle inflation and not because of U.S. pressure."Chinese inflation is now at 2.7 percent, close to the official 3-percent control target, he noted.Halligan argued that the Chinese yuan may not be under-valued as much as Western politicians have perceived.Although Chinese exports rose by 46 percent in the first two months of 2010, the rise is from a very low base -- with February 2009 being the epicenter of the U.S.-sparked sub-prime storm, he noted.He also pointed out the fact that China's trade surplus dropped by 51 percent in the same period. That means China's gain in exports were out-weighed by an import surge."This hardly suggests the yuan, as (U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim) Geithner claims, is 'way too low'," said Halligan.Geithner said in January that Obama believed China was manipulating its currency.On Obama's latest call for China to adopt a more "market-oriented exchange rate," Halligan said Washington is actually the biggest currency manipulator in the world."The reality is that America's 'weak dollar' policy -- its long-standing practice of allowing its currency to depreciate in order to lower the value of its foreign debts -- amounts to the biggest currency manipulation in human history."Halligan also noted that Washington has for years "shamefully stalled" on various rulings of the World Trade Organization that showed America to be breaching global trade rules."America needs to act smarter and get its own economic house in order. Obama has decided instead to lash out at China in a desperate attempt to placate a U.S. electorate increasingly mindful of their president's failings," said Halligan.The economist said Western politicians' blame game against emerging markets over the current global imbalances reflects their hypocrisy and lack of character."It's always easier to blame someone else for your failings... The Western world's response to this self-made 'credit crunch' has highlighted the hypocrisy of our so-called leaders, their refusal to face reality and, above all, their lack of character," he said."The implication (of statements of Western politicians) is that sub-prime, and the deepest Western recession in generations, wasn't our fault. It was entirely unrelated to widespread financial fraud, political myopia and lax regulation," Halligan scorned.

BEIJING, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Senior leader Li Changchun has called on Chinese artists and writers to help promote the prosperity of socialist culture and contribute to the Chinese nation's rejuvenation."The promotion of prosperity of a socialist culture is facing a very good opportunity," said Li, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Sunday at a seminar with the country's well-known writers and artists.The Chinese artists and writers should remain closely connected with the public so that their works reflect people's concerns and wishes, he said.He also encouraged them to be innovative and to explore new areas of arts to meet the demand of the public and the market.He hoped the artists and writers could introduce more works to foreign countries to enhance the international influence and competitiveness of the Chinese culture.Li visited a new center built for the Chinese writers and artists Sunday and extended festival greetings to the representatives.The Chinese are to celebrate their Spring Festival, or Lunar New Year, in mid February this year.

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday called for international efforts to promote the sound recovery and sustained development of the world economy in the post-crisis era.In a keynote speech delivered at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in the eastern Swiss ski resort of Davos, Li said the theme of the meeting "Rethink, Redesign, Rebuild" embodies the spirit of cooperation and innovation to discuss means of world economic development in the post-crisis era.He introduced the measures China had taken to deal with the international financial crisis, its achievements and China's intended follow-up economic policies.The vice premier said the crisis did not change the fundamentals and long-term positive trend of China's economic development.Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang delivers a speech in the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Jan. 28, 2010"Last year, we acted with resolve and confronted challenges head-on, and succeeded in ensuring steady and fast economic growth. As we draw plans for this year, we are confident that we can stay on top of the complicated situation and maintain steady and fast growth of the Chinese economy," said Li."Looking ahead, we are well positioned to achieve long-term, fast and steady economic growth."China needs to follow a scientific outlook on development -- accelerating essential transformation of economic growth pattern, intensifying strategic adjustment of economic structure and endeavoring to explore new development models, he told the world's leading business executives and political leaders.As a responsible and big developing country, China will stick to its unswerving path of peaceful development and mutually beneficial opening-up strategy, work together with other countries to promote the building of a harmonious world with sustained peace and common prosperity, he said.The international community had scored initial achievements by working together to cope with the financial crisis, which struck over a year ago, he said.Countries, whose fates are closely connected with each other, should further share responsibility and enhance cooperation under the complicated situation.Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang delivers a speech in the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Jan. 28, 2010. Li laid out a five-point proposal regarding world economic recovery and sustained development in the post-crisis era."First, we should continue to work together and prevail over the crisis. In a globalized world, the economies of all countries are interdependent and mutually reinforcing," said the Chinese vice premier.The policies of one country can well impact those of others. Only when global economic recovery is achieved can the recovery of national economies be secured, he said.The recent concerted responses by various countries have reduced the severe impact of the international financial crisis and prevented the occurrence of a serious recession, he said.The crisis is not over yet and the foundation for economic recovery is still weak. Continued cooperation among countries is needed to avoid twists and turns and reduce risks in the course of recovery, said Li."Second, we should promote more open market," Li said. The international community should firmly fight protectionist practices, translate commitments into real actions and continue to advance trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, he added."Third, we should promote balanced development of the world," said Li. Efforts should be made to strengthen South-South cooperation and North-South cooperation, improve international mechanisms to promote balanced development, scale up assistance to developing countries and realize the UN Millennium Development Goals on schedule so as to deliver the benefits of development to people in all countries."Fourth, we should jointly tackle major challenges. This is our urgent task if we want to ensure sound recovery and sustained development of the world economy," he said.The international community should coordinate actions to meet global challenges like climate change, energy security, food security, public health security and major natural disasters, he said."Fifth, we should improve the structure of global governance," Li said. It is universally recognized that there is a need to improve current structures and develop a more fair and efficient structure of global governance that reflects changes in the global political and economic landscape.The principle of equal participation and inclusive cooperation should be followed in improving global governance. It is imperative to raise the voice and representation of developing countries, said Li.Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang delivers a speech in the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Jan. 28, 2010A country's right to choose its own development model should be respected, and the primary role of the United Nations and relevant agencies and the constructive role of the Group of 20 should be given a better play, he said.

BEIJING, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese military and international relations experts on Wednesday said that a recent Pentagon report playing down Taiwan's aerial combat capability was a front for more advanced arms sales to the island, which would seriously violate a Sino-U.S. agreement that Washington endorsed 28 years ago. "Any further arms sales, especially if the U.S. sells F-16 fighters to Taiwan, would increase already strained tensions with China," Prof. Tan Kaijia with the National Defense University of the People's Liberation Army told Xinhua. The report delivered by the Defense Intelligence Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense to the Congress has stressed that many of Taiwan's 400 active combat aircraft were not operationally capable due their age and maintenance problems. It also specified that Taiwan's 60 U.S.-made F-5 fighters have reached the end of their operating life and some of the island's F-16 A/B jet fighters needed improvement to increase combat effectiveness. The Pentagon's report came as Taiwan continued to voice its need for advanced U.S. weaponry such as 66 F-16 C/Ds, a substantial improvement model on Taiwan's current F-16 A/Bs. But the U.S. side excluded the fighters from the latest arms sale package. According to media reports, Taiwan currently operates 60 U.S.-made F-5 fighters, 148 F-16 A/Bs, 56 French-made Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets and 126 locally produced Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) aircraft. "If the U.S. equips Taiwan with new F-16s, replacing the second-generation F-5s, it would significantly increase the island's aerial combat effectiveness for F-16's compatibility to other U.S.-made weapon systems such as airborne early warning and control aircraft through Link-16 Multifunctional Information Distribution System," said Prof. Tan. According to the Communique jointly issued by the Chinese and U.S. governments on Aug. 17, 1982, the U.S. side states that "its arms sales to Taiwan will not exceed, either in qualitative or in quantitative terms, the level of those supplied in recent years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China." "Comprehensive performance of the F-16s is far beyond that of the F-5s and the qualitative parameters of the F-16 C/Ds also exceed those of the F-16 A/Bs," said Tan. Selling such arms would "be an overt offense" against the Aug. 17 Communique, and promoting such a move by an elaborate report would not give any justification for the U.S. since the F-16 C/Ds would not be considered as a defensive weapon in any case, he said. Guo Zhenyuan, a researcher with the prominent thinktank China Institute of International Studies, told Xinhua that previous U.S. arms sales to Taiwan were covered by the front of "providing Taiwan with arms of a defensive character" to ease the backlash to the bilateral relationship from the Chinese side. "The U.S. side should know that the sooner it stops selling arms to Taiwan, the more willing China would be to work with it on global and regional issues," Prof. Jin Canrong with Renmin University of China said.
