BEIJING, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Xiao Wu, now a student at Oxford University, recalls her life in Britain started off with "depression" six years ago in a renowned board school.     Fresh from China, the reality of the new country failed to meet her expectations.     "I was disappointed to find many of my British classmates just spent plenty of time on parties, instead of study," Xiao Wu says, a straight-A student in China, who struck her teachers and peers as "extraordinarily diligent."     It has taken her long to come to terms with the fact that British students just could be academically excellent as well without "excess hardworking" that was often held dear by their Chinese peers, she says.     "It seems that they could better balance school work and entertainment than most of us," she says.     But for younger Chinese, such culture shock is much less likely as they increasingly share a common international culture and make friends abroad.     Ding Kaiyan, 15, recalls making friends with Ayumi Saito during the latter's school excursion in China in August, 2008.     "We are both veteran players of Popcart (a popular racing game designed in South Korea), fans of NEWS (a Japanese boy band), and lovers of literature," she says. "Although I had not fully mastered Japanese, we hit it off at our first meeting."     One year later, Ding called on Ayumi Saito in Japan's Toyama Prefecture. Before her trip, Ding had glimpsed Japanese pop culture and customs through her Japanese teacher, Matsushita Hiroshi, and on the Internet.     Ding is one of dozens of students at the Northeast Yucai School, in the northeastern Liaoning Province, who have traveled to Japan to meet children their own age over the past six years.     "Globalization is a buzzword for scholars, but for children it just means how they live their lives," said Professor Shi Jinghuan, executive dean of the Institute of Education of the Tsinghua University.     Their favorite foods, clothes and pop stars and cartoon characters can come from any corner of the world, and many of them start to speak English at kindergarten, she says. "That may explain how they develop familiarity.     "The media, especially the Internet, have presented children all over the world with a colorful global village, and brought them closer," she says. "As long as you want to know, the information is at your fingertips."     Shi Junhao, 10, a fifth-grader at Beijing Fangcaodi International School, has just finished a six-week school trip to the U.K. with eight other students.     He made friends with Oliver after establishing that they shared a lot in common. "We were partners on the basketball court, and we both like U.S. President Obama," he says.     In the past four years, about 400 students from Fangcaodi International School have traveled abroad and more than 3,000 others had contact with foreign peers, says Yang Yuan, a teacher at the school. "Our children have shown strong interest in knowing more about the rest of the world."     "For toddlers, smiles and eye contact are enough to initiate friendship," says Cindy Li, a teacher at the SMIC School and Kindergarten in Shanghai, which has 1,800 students from 22 countries and regions, and about 100 foreign teachers.     Respect for other cultures and smashing stereotypes are crucial steps for nurturing open minds in children, says Professor Shi Jinghuan.     Understanding, respect and tolerance can cement friendships between children from all ethnic groups, says Shi.     "Children should know that being different isn't bad."

TAIPEI/BEIJING, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- A delegation from the Chinese mainland is expected to sign contracts with Taiwan's companies valued at more than three billion U.S. dollars during its 6-day trip on the island, the delegation head said Tuesday.     The delegation, which arrived in Taipei Monday, was headed by Liang Baohua, chief of the Communist Party of China (CPC) provincial committee in east China's Jiangsu Province.     The delegation would also sign Memorandum of Understandings to enhance cooperation in areas including economy, trade, agriculture, science and technology, tourism, culture and education, said Liang at the opening ceremony of "Jiangsu-Taiwan Week" in Taipei Tuesday. Kuomintang Honorary Chairman Lien Chan delivers a speech at the opening ceremony of "Jiangsu-Taiwan Week" held in Taipei, south China's Taiwan Province, Nov. 10, 2009. The "Jiangsu-Taiwan Week" kicked off in Taipei on Tuesday. The provincial-level delegation from the Chinese mainland is expected to sign contracts with Taiwan's companies valued at more than three billion U.S. dollars during its 6-day trip on the island.    "Our visit itself reflects the peaceful development in cross-Strait ties in the past year," said Liang when he met the Kuomintang (KMT) honorary chairman Wu Poh-hsiung Monday.     Invited by the KMT central committee, Liang was the first CPC provincial committee chief to visit Taiwan. It indicated the expanding and deepening exchanges across the Taiwan Strait, said KMT Deputy Secretary-General Chang Jung-Kong.     Taiwan had received and would witness a series of mainland delegations headed by senior officials at the provincial-level.     A delegation headed by Li Chongxi, deputy chief of the CPC's Sichuan provincial committee arrived in Taipei on Nov. 1 to discuss cooperation in trade and tourism.     Beijing Vice Mayor Ji Lin, who led a group of more than 250 members, arrived the island the next day and took part in a symposium on science and technology.     Xu Bodong, an expert on Taiwan affairs and also professor of the Beijing Union University, said the visit by the Jiangsu delegation was a continuity of trips made by Sichuan and Beijing.     "The trips reflect higher level development of cross-Strait ties as the exchanges at the local level involved more specific issues," he said. Enterprise representatives sign the cooperation memorandum at the opening ceremony of "Jiangsu-Taiwan Week" held in Taipei, south China's Taiwan Province, Nov. 10, 2009The CPC and KMT reached an agreement on the common prospects for peaceful cross-Strait development in 2005, which had now become a basic policy of the Taiwan authority, said the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) chairman Chiang Pin-kung when he met Liang Baohua Tuesday.     Local CPC chiefs on the mainland, however, had for a long time mainly played the role as hosts to receive KMT guests from Taiwan after the positive changes took place in the island in May 2008.     For example, Liang acted as a host to receive Lien Chan, Wu Poh-hsiung and Chiang Pin-kung for several times, according to Xu Bodong.     "Now they finally came to the front of exchanges and dialogue," Xu said.     As Liang Baohua put it, "Our visit is to implement the common prospects for peaceful cross-Straits development with pragmatic measures on behalf of a province."     Following Liang's visit, Xu Guangchun, chief of CPC's Henan provincial committee, will also visit Taiwan next month at the invitation of the KMT central committee, according to the Henan provincial committee Tuesday.     Wang Jianmin, a Taiwan affairs researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said "local CPC committees and government could make bigger stride in promoting economic, trade and cultural exchanges with a view to the new situation in cross-Strait relations."     Exchanges and cooperation at the local level across the Strait would be institutionalized in the future and would bring greater benefits to people on both sides, Wang said.

XI'AN, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping has called for more efforts to carry forward the Yan'an Spirit and stay realistic and pragmatic to build the Party.     Yan'an, a city in northwestern Shaanxi Province, served as the CPC-led revolutionary base during the 1930s-40s before the Communist Party of China (CPC) took power in 1949.     To promote the Yan'an Spirit, the primary thing is to adhere to correct political direction, said Xi, also a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, during a tour in Shaanxi from Nov. 13 to 16. Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (2nd R) talks with family members of local farmer Fan Mingliang (2nd L) in Ansai County, during his visit in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Nov. 14, 2009"We must also keep in mind the tenet of serving the people wholeheartedly and adhere to the spirit of ideological emancipation, seeking truth from facts and keeping pace with the times..." Xi said.     During his trip, Xi visited a number of villages, factories, schools and research institutions. He also visited some areas which were badly hit by the catastrophic May 12 earthquake last year.     Accompanying Xi during his tour was Li Yuanchao, member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, and head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

BEIJING, Jan. 7 -- China's central bank Wednesday said it will manage inflation expectations and keep a close watch on the property market through its credit and money supply policies.     In a statement on its website, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said it would try to maintain ample liquidity in the financial system, and ask banks to lend more evenly, while strictly implementing credit policies in the property sector.     The nation will also take steps to rein in fast-rising property prices and strengthen credit controls for the sector, according to Housing and Urban-Rural Development Minister Jiang Weixin.

Property prices in China's 70 major cities rose at the fastest pace in 16 months in November    "We should scrap or adjust local property policies launched last year that no longer comply with the current macroeconomic goals," Jiang said.     According to Dong Chen, director of the research institute of Southwest Securities, the government moves on real estate policies indicate that while policymakers are striving to cement the economic rebound, they are also serious in curbing the excessive liquidity in the financial system to allay fears of asset bubbles and inflation.     Property prices in China's 70 major cities rose at the fastest pace in 16 months in November, fueling concern that record lending and inflows of capital from abroad are building up asset bubbles.     "Credit policy is the key to curb the rising property prices, as it would have a direct impact on transaction volumes," said Su Xuejing, an analyst with Changjiang Securities.     "We anticipate more policy tightening in the future like increasing the down payment and mortgage rates for second-home buyers," he said.     Shanghai Securities News said on Tuesday that the government plans to expand trials of a real estate tax, citing an unidentified person close to the State Administration of Taxation.     The anticipated policy changes have also affected the capital market performance of leading realtors. Shares of China Vanke Co, the country's largest listed property developer, have fallen more than 12 percent in the past month on concerns that the measures to cool the property market would impact earnings. Poly Real Estate Group Co, the second largest real estate firm, also saw its shares fall to a four-month low.     Meanwhile, a report from UK real estate service provider Savills said that the tighter credit policies and soaring realty prices have spurred property sales by international investors. Many of the investors had acquired the properties several years back and have been able to get handsome returns now, it said.     "Sales by foreign investors increased from 7 percent in 2008 to 20 percent in 2009," said the report.

BEIJING, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- China-U.S. relationship that by large was entering a period where our focus would be more and more on global issues, said U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman on Friday.     Huntsman made the remarks at the Forum for America/China Exchange at Stanford (FACES) in Peking University, a top university in China.     "Obama arrived and found what he had hoped for," he said relating to the U.S. President's just concluded China visit after reviewing the bilateral link chronicle.     U.S. and China could strengthen cooperation in areas including military, people to people exchanges, climate change, clean energy and economic crisis, Huntsman told the delegates attending the forum.     He said the U.S.-China relationship was so "large and complicated" that managers of the relations should "take the areas of commonality" and "realize and speak open" about the disagreements.     Huntsman, who once lived in Taiwan and could speak Chinese called Chinese the "21st century language", saying diplomacy is ineffective without "investing a generation of professionals willing to invest their careers in turn in language, culture, regional studies."     FACES, a forum held in Beijing from Nov.15-20, gathered more than forty students from China and the U.S to discuss political, social, economic and cultural issues.

BEIJING, Oct. 26 -- Delegations from more than 84 countries and regions will participate the ITD conference Monday, and a host of international experts from governments, the private sector and academia will make presentations and lead discussions on this important topic.     The ITD is a cooperative venture formed in 2002 and comprised of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the European Commission and the UK Department for International Development.     Its purpose is to foster dialogue on important topics in tax policy and administration and to function as a disseminator and repository of information on matters of interest in taxation around the world, through its website, www.itdweb.org.     The IMF attaches great importance to its role as a founding member of the ITD. Recent events in the world economy have made even clearer the necessity of international cooperation and sharing experience in economic matters, and this is the very purpose, which the ITD serves.     The topic of this conference is a timely and critical one. The world has been reminded recently and forcefully of the great importance of the financial sector for macroeconomic stability, growth, and development goals. The sector plays a critical intermediating function - without it credit could not exist, capital could not be channeled to useful purposes and risks could not be managed.     The conference will take place against the background of the worst financial and economic crisis to strike the world in three generations, and, while taxation was not itself the cause of the crisis, elements of the tax system are relevant to its background and resolution.     Most tax systems embody incentives for corporations, financial institutions and in some cases individuals to use debt rather than equity finance.     This is likely to have contributed to the crisis by leading to higher levels of debt than would otherwise have existed - even though there were no obvious tax changes that would explain rapid increases in debt. Tax distortions may also have encouraged the development of complex and opaque financial instruments and structures, including through extensive use of low-tax jurisdictions - which in turn contributed to the difficulty of identifying true levels of risk.     The magnitude of the fiscal challenges facing the world economy is greater than at any other time since World War II.     Estimates done by IMF staff on the fiscal adjustment necessary to bring government debt-to-GDP ratios down to 60 percent by 2030 - over 20 years hence - show a gap in the cyclically adjusted primary balances of some 8 percentage points of GDP in advanced economies to be closed between 2010 and 2020.     This cannot all be accomplished by expenditure reduction. New, or increased, sources of revenue will need to be found, on average perhaps 3 percentage points of GDP. While improvements in compliance and administration could account for some of that gap, it will be necessary to adjust tax policies to a degree not hitherto seen on a wide scale.     Although the world economy remains weak with downside risks and much hardship remain, signs of improvement are thankfully now visible.     This is an opportune juncture, therefore, to begin the work of planning countries' exits from the deteriorated fiscal positions developed in response to the crisis, and to give thought to questions raised by the performance of the financial sector in triggering the crisis.     What role can better tax policies and administration play in preventing a recurrence of this costly episode in economic history?     The financial sector has been, and must continue to be, a critical link in the development of the world's economies. The sector has played a key role in accelerating the development of the emerging markets - many of which, prior to this most recent episode, had grown able to tap the world's financial resources at an increasing rate unparalleled in history.     And for the world's most vulnerable economies, continued financial deepening will be absolutely necessary to permit them to meet their development goals. The upcoming conference will consider the role of taxation in both the industrial and developing countries with respect to these goals.     The conference will address not only the role of the financial sector as a source of revenue itself, and its broader role in the development and growth of the world economy, but also its function in assisting in administration of the tax system-through information reporting, collection of tax payments, and withholding.     This latter role will become ever more important with growing international cooperation in fighting tax evasion and avoidance.     Finally, we must not lose sight of the main function of the tax system - to raise revenue in an economically efficient, non-distortionary, and administratively feasible manner.     Even fully recognizing the existence of both market failures and policy-induced vulnerabilities, including those that contributed to this crisis, it is important to avoid accidentally introducing distortions through the tax system that may prove worse than the evils they are intended to remedy.     "Neutrality" of taxation of the financial sector in this sense is a benchmark against which deviations from this objective may be measured and judged.     One must ask whether any proposed interventions are targeted at a recognized externality or existing distortion, and, if so, whether the proposed action is the most appropriate response. And the multilateral institutions, in particular, must look to the effects which the financial sector and its taxation may have not only on the world's highly developed economies-those with the greatest depth of financial intermediation-but at the effects, direct and indirect, on the world's developing nations.     International cooperation on these matters will be critical to making improvements that will benefit all of us. This week's important event, hosted by the Chinese government and organized by the ITD, is itself a model in this regard.
