Credit bubble: handle with care
Beijing’s massive stimulus response to the global financial crisis might have halted decline and revived growth.迷你倉出租 But the economy is now facing the consequences of a credit bubble it has helped to create, and that has everyone spooked.Debt owed by local governments, corporations and individual households is mounting. In 2008, total debt was around 130 per cent of gross domestic product. Today, it has ballooned to almost 200 per cent, or about 100 trillion yuan (HK$125 trillion). That’s a threshold Japan crossed only a few years before its economy crashed in 1989.Citing the danger of a rapid expansion of credit within the economy, Fitch Ratings cut China’s sovereign rating earlier this year, a first since 1999. Experts worry not only about the bad loans with the major banks, estimated at around 3 trillion yuan, but also the rapidly expanding “shadow” lending system, the size of which is anyone’s guess.Since 2008, local officials across the country have been told to stimulate growth. Many follow the same script. They buy farmland on the cheap, then sell to developers at marked-up prices or use it as collateral for loans. But since they are barred by law from incurring debt by borrowing or issuing bonds, they set up fin迷你倉ncing vehicles to take on debts. And such debts are reaching massive and alarming proportions.With corporations, especially state-owned enterprises, the massive liquidity made borrowing easy. Many have developed a debt dependency while failing to invest wisely. By contrast, smaller private companies have little access to funding from the big state banks and have resorted to borrowing in the shadow banking system, paying much higher interest. This, in turn, has fuelled the rapid expansion of this lightly regulated sector.Meanwhile, the fabled ability of Chinese to save is changing. Younger people have no qualms about borrowing as more adopt the habits of Western consumers. Within limits, this can be a good thing. There is no question that people need to save less and spend more if the economy is to switch from its reliance on exports to greater consumption. But the transition will be long and difficult. Improved social safety nets are needed; powerful vested interests which surround the state-owned enterprises that dominate the economy have to be reined in. Beijing knows it must deflate the credit bubble. The question is whether it executes this without derailing the economy – or, more likely, lets the problem fester.儲存倉

A JetBlue Reunion 10 Years in the Making
NEW YORK, Sept.儲存 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ten years ago, JetBlue Airways Captain Eric Scott invited a young traveler to visit the cockpit and unknowingly changed this boy's life.To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: .multivu.com/mnr/63240-jetblue-pilot-mentor-inspires-student-to-pursue-aviation-career(Photo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130909/MM75263)(Logo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110404/NY76997LOGO)Elijah Hedrington was just five years old, traveling to Burlington, VT as part of the Fresh Air Fund. This program provides free summer experiences to New York City children from low-income communities. Elijah's escort happened to be Sheila Donnell, a JetBlue Inflight crewmember who volunteers for the program. On this flight, Sheila introduced Elijah to Capt. Scott. Capt. Scott invited Elijah into the cockpit.At that very instant, Elijah decided he wanted to become a pilot, just like Capt. Scott. "He became a role model to me at that moment. He's my hero. I look up to him," Elijah said during a recent reunion with Capt. Scott.Now at age 14, Elijah is continuing on his path to become a pilot. He is a sophomore at Bronx Aerospace High School, and a member of the school's robotics team that is building an airplane and seeking permission from the FAA to fly the aircraft. After recently hearing that Elijah is following in his footsteps, Capt. Scott offered to become Elijah's mentor to help keep him on track and encourage his career aspirations.JetBlue arranged a reunion for Capt. Scott and Elijah in August at JetBlue's Terminal 5 (T5) at New York's JFK airport. Capt. Scott treated Elijah and a group of his friends to a special behind-the-scenes tour of T5."When I was coming up in aviation, I had a mentor. So when I heard that Elijah wanted a mentor I was motivated. I knew this was how I got this far, with someone teaching me the ropes. I know I can teach him a lot," said Capt. Scott. "At JetBlue, all pilots receive a professional mentor. It's about giving back to those that show an interest in our profession. It's not a job for us, it is a passion."Capt. Scott has been with JetBlue for 11 years and is passionate about mentoring. He's the lead mentor at his alma mater, University of North Dakota, and is involved with JetBlue's University Gateway Program, a pilot talent pipeline program in conjunction with university programs and regional airlines. As Elijah's mentor, Capt. Scott will provide career and academic advisement.Because Capt. Scott currently resides in the Midwest, far from Elijah, he also enlisted a back-up, First Officer 新蒲崗迷你倉ovan O'Bryant, who lives in New York, to serve as Elijah's local mentor. Fittingly, Capt. Scott also served as a professional mentor to First Officer O'Bryant when he joined JetBlue three years ago. "I plan to be there for Elijah, whether he asks me a question over the phone, email, or face to face," said First Officer O'Bryant.Elijah looks forward to the day he can give back. "When I become a pilot for JetBlue I would like to be a mentor, so I can give someone the opportunity that I had today," he said.JetBlue, New York's Hometown Airline, encourages students to explore careers in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professions, including aviation careers, from piloting the aircraft to maintaining the engines.Original b-roll and interviews are available.Contact JetBlue at (718) 709-3089 or corpcomm@jetblue.com for more information.About JetBlue Airways JetBlue is New York's Hometown Airline(TM) with other focus cities in Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles (Long Beach), San Juan and Orlando.

HSBC, Stanchart a fit for free-trade zone
Lenders are expected to be among the first foreign banks to offer more yuan services as part of Beijing’s plan to open up ShanghaiHSBC and Standard Chartered are expected to be among the first batch of foreign banks to offer a wide range of banking services in the mainland’s first free-trade zone, in Shanghai, with Beijing wanting to open its financial sector wider to foreign investment.迷你倉最平Sources familiar with the situation said the China Banking Regulatory Commission’s (CBRC) Shanghai bureau had contacted a small number of foreign banks, including HSBC and Standard Chartered, to seek feedback on how they wanted to open business in the free-trade zone, due to be launched on September 27.The two foreign banks have conducted business in China for more than a century and Beijing often selects them to take part in innovations, particularly in recent years those related to yuan business, with the central government keen to make its currency more global.Raymond Yeung, an economist at ANZ Banking in Hong Kong, said Shanghai was the mainland’s financial centre and the free-trade zone would allow the two banks to “operate under a less-restricted or free market, just like Hong Kong”.“The tremendous business opportunity could help the business expansion of foreign banks on the mainland,” he said.A Standard Chartered spokeswoman said the bank was committed to contributing to the further development of the zone, but declined to comment on regulatory approval or other decisions. An HSBC spokeswoman also declined to comment.The CBRC had sought feedback 迷你倉rom banks in recent months, a Shanghai-based senior executive at a foreign bank said. “But banks are quite reluctant to invest a large sum of money in the zone, as details are still unclear and foreign banks as a whole are not making very good profits on the mainland,” he added.A Bank of East Asia (BEA) spokeswoman said it would consider establishing a presence in the zone, depending on regulatory conditions.HSBC, Standard Chartered and BEA set up wholly owned, locally incorporated units on the mainland in 2007, when Beijing encouraged major foreign banks to do so to provide local yuan-banking business to mainland residents. They each put eight billion yuan of initial registered capital into their Shanghai units.In July, the South China Morning Post reported that Beijing would allow foreign banks to set up wholly owned subsidiaries in the new zone. The move could cut years from the time foreign banks must otherwise spend before opening branches or subsidiaries on the mainland.Beijing is expected to allow all lenders in the free-trade zone to provide unrestricted banking services similar to the offshore yuan trading offered by HSBC, Standard Chartered and other banks in Hong Kong, which are already popular with corporate and individual clients. “Dim sum” bonds, loans and foreign exchange trading are expected to be included.The free-trade-zone plan is a concern for many Hong Kong officials and bankers, with some worrying the city’s position as an offshore yuan-trading centre and its financial industry might be threatened by Shanghai’s rise.儲存

Writer, humorist P.J. O'Rourke talks about his career ahead of Tulsa appearance Tuesday
Source: Tulsa World, Okla.迷你倉Sept. 08--P.J. O'Rourke's upcoming trip to Tulsa may turn into a race against time.Politics, both national and international, and the satirizing of same has been O'Rourke's stock in trade for the past 40 years, in a career as a foreign correspondent and author.He's coming to Tulsa to open the University of Tulsa's Presidential Lecture Series on Tuesday -- the day after the U.S. Congress reconvenes to consider President Barack Obama's call for military action against Syria."I've got a lot of material about Obama and Syria, and I'm hoping nobody does anything silly right when I'm getting on the plane," O'Rourke said, speaking by phone from his New Hampshire home last week."It doesn't look like it's going to happen -- basically because I haven't seen this much vacillating since the Carter administration," he said. "It's like, 'There's got to be some way to blame it all on the Republicans.' Or maybe 'It's the tea party's fault somehow.'"O'Rourke acknowledges that he's no fan of President Obama and said he has no strong feelings about the United States intervening in Syria."That place is pretty much a hornet's nest," he said. "So what do you do -- kick it? Poke it with a stick? The thing is, most of the world agrees Assad is a bad guy. And when you have a lot of bad guys in the world, maybe it's OK for you to appear vicious, but it's not OK to look weak and indecisive."I'll say this for (George W.) Bush," O'Rourke said. "Whether you think he was right or wrong, smart or foolish, at least when he decided to go to war with Iraq, he did it at high noon, in time to make the 6 o'clock news. He didn't futz around about it on a Labor Day weekend."O'Rourke's perspective on politics and politicians has been formed by several decades of covering conflicts around the world. He earned degrees from Miami University in Ohio and Johns Hopkins University and worked as a reporter for several small newspapers before joining the staff of the National Lampoon in 1973.He eventually became editor-in-chief and was one of the main writers of one of the magazine's most successful projects -- the National Lampoon Yearbook Parody, which influenced the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House."An assignment for Harper's Magazine that required him to go to the Soviet Union turned O'Rourke into a foreign correspondent. As the foreign affairs desk chief for Rolling Stone, then as a freelancer, O'Rourke reported on the crises happening in more than 50 different countries."I'm a reporter first and foremost, and politics is a good story to cover," O'Rourke said. "I started off covering international politics, then realized I didn't know all that much about the politics in my native country, which is certainly less violent but equally funny."If I have an overriding objective, it's not to take politicians too seriously," he said. "I've always thought you have to have a suspect personality to want to run for office. My idea is to assume anyone who gets into politics is mentally ill until proven otherwise."It's an attitude reflected in the titles of some of O'Rourke's books, which include "Don't Vote: It Just Encourages the Bastards," "Parliament of Whores" and "Eat the Rich."And儲存倉it's there in the quips and one-liners that have earned O'Rourke the title of "the funniest writer in America" by Time and the Wall Street Journal, as well as the most citations in "The Penguin Dictionary of Humorous Quotations" (one choice example: "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenaged boys")."The way I see, my job as a reporter is to boil things down into something that will make people sit up and take notice," he said. "When you're talking about war, that's easy to do. Something like Obamacare, not so much. There you're taking a piece of legislation that would fill something like four filing cabinet drawers, that nobody -- certainly not the people who voted on it -- has ever read, and making it make sense."That is an approach he takes with his forthcoming book, "The Baby Boom: How It Got That Way (And It Wasn't My Fault) (And I'll Never Do It Again).""I try to talk about the overall effect the baby boom has had on society," O'Rourke said. "It's a kind of group memoir of my age cohorts. I take my own memories and those of my friends and follow them through the '50s, '60s and '70s."O'Rourke continued traveling abroad until a couple of years ago, after a trip to Afghanistan when he decided he was "too old to be sleeping on the ground.""I do kind of miss it -- not the adrenaline rush thing, which never was the allure for me, but for the camaraderie," he said. "There never was all that many of us, because only the major news organizations could afford having reporters overseas, so you kept running into each other at all these crappy places."You'd show up in Beirut and there were all the people you met covering the overthrow of Marcos in the Philippines," O'Rourke said. "It was kind of like a family reunion."O'Rourke has been on NPR quiz show as wellP.J. O'Rourke is known for his books and journalism, but to some he may be best known for his appearances as a panelist on the National Public Radio quiz show, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me."Hosted by Peter Sagel, the hourlong show features three panelists -- journalists, comedians and pundits -- engaged in games that celebrate the more bizarre aspects of the week's news. (It is broadcast at 1 p.m. Saturdays and 6 p.m. Sundays on KWGS 89.5FM.)"That's really a lot of fun to do," O'Rourke said. "The thing of it is, it's all in the editing. We usually spend about two hours doing the show in front of an audience, and they boil that down to the hourlong show."The extra time is necessary because there are times, O'Rourke said, "when you get asked a question, and you've got nothing. 'Sorry, Peter, can't the find the funny in that topic.' "The editing also means that the panelists can indulge in more off-color humor than can be aired on public radio stations."Let's just say," O'Rourke said, "we have a whole lot of special Anthony Weiner jokes that will never make it on the air."P.J.

Zombies, Gorillas and Beer... Oh My!
October in Denver is a Month of Wacky and World Record EventsDENVER, Sept.迷你倉新蒲崗 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Denverites love any excuse to put on a costume, so October is a busy month, filled with a series of wacky events that keep the Guinness World Record people busy. In just 30 days, Denver will host the world's largest Zombie Crawl, the world's largest Gorilla Run and the world's largest beer festival.(Photo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130909/DC76243)Blame it on the Beer!You can blame the early October craziness on the beer. Denver Beer Fest kicks off activities from Oct. 4-12 with more than 150 beer-centric events, from tap takeovers and firkin tappings to beer-paired dinners and meet the brewer nights.It's all an appetizer to the Great American Beer Festival(R) (GABF), which rolls into town Oct. 10-12. This is the largest gathering of suds lovers in the world with more than 49,000 beer geeks attending for the privilege of tasting some 3,000 different beers produced by 600 different brewers. More beers will be available for tasting in 2013 than at any other single spot in history. Tickets sold out in less than 15 minutes.If you don't have tickets, don't worry - there are still 150 beer-related events taking place throughout metro Denver during the over-lapping Denver Beer Fest, not to mention some 26 downtown Denver breweries and tap houses.Many GABF-goers come in costumes, ranging from fetching frauleins in dirndl skirts to people dressed as hops, wizards, or even big mugs of beer. Scottish pipe bands add to the madness, squealing up and down the aisles as 15,000 people try to taste as many exotic beers as they can squeeze in during one of the four, four-hour tasting periods. On the streets outside, pedi-cabs and beer wagons do a brisk business, escorting festival goers from pub to pub and safely home as well.There's a serious side to GABF as well, and the medals awarded at this "Super Bowl of Beer" in more than 85 categories are considered the most prestigious beer medals in the business.Streets Dripping With BloodThe largest zombie gathering in history will take place in downtown Denver on Saturday, October 19 when some 16,000-plus blood splattered crazies drag themselves down the 16(th) Street Mall in a day-long event that can be as funny as it is horrifying.The Annual Denver Zombie Crawl has already been documented as the largest zombie event in the nation, and for this - the 7(th) annual crawl - the organizers are again shooting for a new Guinness World Record. Why is Denver home to so many zombies? Why not? Colorado already has the Frozen Dead Guy Festival, so why not a festival of 16,000 undead strolling the streets.The day begins at 11 a.m. with the Organ Trail. This zombified version of a 5K event is a run, walk or crawl around downtown Denver that mixes the gross parts of Fear Factor with the clue solving of the Amazing Race, and puts them all together in a Haunted House. Zombie teams solve clues to find locations and move to checkpoints, and it's all very complicated, but the main attraction is seeing the creativity of the other zombies.And they are creative. And horrifying. There are bodies missing heads, bodies carrying their heads, and bodies with holes in their heads. Many of the zombies are sexy. There are zombie cheerleaders, zombie nurses, zombie brides, zombie Playboy bunnies, and even a complete zombie marching brass band. There is so much dripping blood that by day's end, the 16(th) Street Mall is actually stained with pools of blood - all fake, of course - and you can mark the path of some zombies by their smeared trails.Entire families of undead join the parade, all of them - from yo迷你倉出租ng tots to bewildered-looking parents -- covered with horrific wounds, exposed entrails, axes in their heads, and always - the vacant stare of the undead. The scariest thing of all are the hundreds of zombies who wear "dead-eye" contacts, giving them that strange, glowing, far-away look.Zombie ground zero is Skyline Park, but really, the entire mile-long 16(th) Street Mall (and its 42 outdoor cafes) are crawling with zombies all afternoon. If you come as a spectator, the most fun is to pick a spot in a cafe that lines the Mall and enjoy the parade of horror as it saunters by.If you're a zombie amateur and want to join in the parade, come at 12 noon, where Zombie Crawl officials will help you with makeup.There's a re-creation of Michael Jackson's zombie "Thriller" dance at 3:55 p.m., and the "official" parade down 16(th) Street Mall for the world record goes from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m., ending with costume contests at Skyline Park and a Zombie Crawl after-party at Casselman's at 8 p.m.Whether you come dead - or alive - you'll laugh, you'll be grossed out, you'll be horrified and quite frequently scared, sometimes all within one minute, but you'll come to appreciate the creativity that exists in Denver, at least in the underground world of the undead.Run Gorilla, Run!A week after the zombies leave town, downtown Denver is inundated with gorillas - thousands of them! The 10(th) Annual Denver Gorilla Run is Saturday Oct. 26 with more than 3,000 people in gorilla suits running a 5K to benefit the mountain gorillas of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.The cost of the race is $99, which includes a full gorilla suit (available in different sizes). Participants from each of the nine previous races are being encouraged to dig out their suits and show up to help re-set Denver's current Guinness World Record for a gorilla run with even higher numbers.As if gorilla suits were not enough, racers are encouraged to dress up the suits, so there are gorilla families, gorilla bands, gorilla blonds...old gorillas, young gorillas and even Hawaiian gorillas.After the race there is a gigantic block party for everyone in the city with food trucks, craft beer, and bands, all in front of the Wynkoop Brewing Company, Denver's oldest and largest brew pub. The Wynkoop was founded by current Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, the first former brewer to be elected state governor since Sam Adams in 1793. All of which proves the people of Denver appreciate a good beer, as well as a gorilla and zombie or two.After participating in these world-record events in The Mile High City, you're going to be exhausted!

Octopus takes mobile step to winning more customers
Dominant operator of electronic payment system seeks to beat competition by allowing purchases to be settled through the handphoneMaking purchases with a smartphone is gaining a foothold in Hong Kong, and it has changed the habits of Sunny Cheung Yiu-tong, a die-hard fan of smart cards.新蒲崗迷你倉Cheung, the chief executive of Octopus Group, sometimes leaves his Octopus card at home, using his mobile phone to make payments instead.Octopus Cards, which runs the city’s earliest and dominant contactless smart card system, says competition from banks in payment technology is intense but it fights to maintain its pioneering advantage by providing a variety of ways to pay, such as Octopus watches instead of cards, and now by flashing the mobile.HSBC and Hang Seng Bank have launched services using near-field communication (NFC) technology to allow holders of credit cards to pay for transactions with smartphones linked with the card accounts.Users pay by flashing their NFC-ready smartphones on a card reader, similar to using Octopus cards.The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has said it aims to facilitate the development of NFC mobile payment services in Hong Kong, following the United States, Britain, France, Japan and South Korea, which are planning or launching such services.“When I don’t want to carry a bag or a wallet with me, I usually pay using the mobile phone,” Cheung, who has more than 10 Octopus cards, told the South China Morning Post.To understand the competitive landscape in the contactless payment market, Cheung said, he and his colleagues familiarised themselves with the NFC services banks were providing.“After we tried their services, we could tell what the advantages of these new services were and think of ways to do better than them,” he said.Banks are partners as well as competitors with Octopus Cards, said Cheung,mini storagea veteran banker who worked for Visa, DBS Bank and Citibank before he joined Octopus in 2011.The firm, in which MTR Corp is the largest shareholder, has partnered Citibank, China Construction Bank (Asia), Dah Sing Bank and DBS in issuing co-branded cards that combine the functions of a credit card and an Octopus card.“If we just viewed banks as our competitors, the customers would find it less convenient because they might have to carry two cards,” Cheung said.By the fourth quarter of this year, smartphones will be able to perform the functions of an Octopus card. They will be able to support transactions with a limit of HK$1,000, higher than the cap of HK$500 for NFC services at HSBC and Hang Seng, the only banks that have launched such services so far.A limited number of merchants have set up NFC readers in their shops.The number of outlets with MasterCard PayPass terminals, used for Hang Seng’s NFC services, has increased to 3,000 from 1,000 in June.The Octopus phone user will need to install in the smartphone a special SIM card that allows the phone to function as an Octopus card. Certain Sony and Samsung models might be the first smartphones capable of the new service, the firm said earlier this year.Cheung said it would be “cool” to be able to use the mobile phone to settle daily transactions.The Octopus system handles more than 12 million transactions valued at more than HK$130 million each day. More than 22 million cards were in circulation at the end of last year, up 12.6 per cent from 2011. Each Hongkonger has an average of three Octopus cards.The company is talking to various parties to expand the use of the cards, such as paying tunnel fees.“We are not concerned about what will become the mainstream electronic payment method, but we hope to provide as many choices to customers as we can,” Cheung said.self storage

內房上半年盈利勝預期
大部分在香港上市的內房股一三年中期業績均優於市場預期,迷你倉一三年上半年,內房板塊盈利平均增長23%,受惠於去年和一三年上半年的合同銷售理想,一三年全年的盈利能見度相當高,總收入鎖定率高達89%。雖然一三年上半年內房板塊的平均毛利率同比下降了6.4個百分點至33%,但銷售額同比增長35%快於預期,抵銷了利潤率的下降。 一三年上半年,土地市場買賣非常活躍,根據CREIS中指數據,今年首7個月,國內302個城市的土地銷售額同比增加42%,平均土地價格亦上升了29%。由於內地房地產開發商積極建立土地儲備,因此今年上半年,內房股的淨負債比率,平均增加2.9個百分點至59%。但由於早前許多房地產開發商進行了一系列的融資活動以降低借貸成本,因此內房股的資產負債表仍然健康。 預期一三年下半年,資金流動性相對收緊(銀行在下半年的新增貸款較上半年低),將對房地產開發商自存倉現金流有負面影響,但資金流動性較緊的情況應該好於一一年下半年。預期今年下半年將不會有新的房地產緊縮措施,因中國政府仍在努力穩定經濟增長。 內地房地產開發商今年的合約銷售增長目標為19%,其中,中國海外(688)、世茂房地產(813)及越秀地產(123)上調一三年的合同銷售目標;雖然華潤置地(1109)保持今年的合約銷售目標不變,但預期公司今年的銷售額很大機會超過其銷售目標。平均來說,內地房地產開發商一三年合同銷售目標為同比增長19%。 美林預計中國房地產板塊在一三至一四年的盈利增長分別為22%和16%,而且一三年盈利能見度相當高。今年上半年合同銷售一直保持強勁,若保持目前的銷售速度,一四年的總收入鎖定率也將大幅度上升,未來兩年內房股的盈利增長亦將保持穩固。投資建議:買入內房龍頭股中國海外(688)及華潤置地(1109)。 中國銀行私人銀行(澳門)紀永華迷你倉新蒲崗

絲路復興,正當其時
新華社記者 郝薇薇2100多年前,迷你倉出租漢代張騫出使西域,開拓絲綢之路。自此,一隊隊馱著彩綢與瓷器的駝隊穿越孤煙大漠,踏出了一條橫貫東西、連接歐亞的商貿大道與文化交流之路。鬥轉星移,沙飛沙落,如今,古老絲路重新煥發生機與活力。7日,中國國家主席習近平在哈薩克斯坦納扎爾巴耶夫大學演講中首次提出,用創新的合作模式,共同建設地跨歐亞的“絲綢之路經濟帶”,從加強政策溝通、道路聯通、貿易暢通、貨幣流通、民心相通入手,形成跨區域大合作格局。20多年來,中國同歐亞國家關係快速發展。曾經的悠悠駝鈴、漫漫古道正在變成互聯互通的鐵路公路網、油氣管線網、電力通信網;沿絲路而行的也不再只是綾羅綢緞、寶石香料,還有琳琅滿目的商品、自由流動的資源與資本。共同建設絲路經濟帶,著眼的是以合作促發展的大格局。絲路經濟帶總人口30億,市場規模和潛力獨一無二。歐亞各國經濟互補性強,合作空間巨大。建設絲路經濟帶,有助于歐亞各國把潛在的人口、資源、市場和技術優勢轉化為發展優勢,進一步擴大開放與合作。共同建設絲路經濟帶,是以發展促穩定。歐亞迷你倉地在世界經濟政治版圖占據獨特而重要的位置,但同時也是“三股勢力”較活躍的地區之一。在此背景下,建設持久和平、共同繁榮的和諧地區成為本地區各國的共識。共同建設絲路經濟帶,將為中國西部大開發戰略提供新的支撐。實行更加積極主動的開放戰略、擴大向西開放,將為中國對外貿易與投資培育新的增長點。絲路復興,正當其時。共同建設絲路經濟帶倡議的提出,既順應了世界經濟融合加速發展、區域合作方興未艾的世界潮流,也反映了全球經濟重心逐漸東移、新興國家逐步崛起的世界大勢。共同建設絲路經濟帶,將促進歐亞大陸經濟整合新格局。從更廣闊的人類文明發展的大背景看,絲綢之路連接了世界幾乎所有的文明形態。正如習主席在演講中所言:“兩千多年的交往歷史證明,只要堅持團結互信、平等互利、包容互鑒、合作共贏,不同種族、不同信仰、不同文化背景的國家完全可以共享和平,共同發展。”馳命走驛,不絕于時月;商胡販客,日款于塞下。我們相信,絲路經濟帶這一創新的大合作模式將重現古老絲路的輝煌,成為一項造福沿途各國人民的大事業。 (據新華社北京9月8日電)儲存倉

拒絕選委會公佈大選結果 柬反對黨擬連日抗議
【據新華社金邊八日電】柬埔寨反對黨柬埔寨救國黨八日在其位於首都金邊的總部召開新聞發佈會發表聲明,迷你倉拒絕柬埔寨全國選舉委員會公佈的大選結果,表示隨後將號召連續多日舉行大型遊行示威活動,並抵制新一屆國會的成立。柬埔寨救國黨主席桑蘭西在發佈會上表示,救國黨的立場和主張與以前一致,要求成立獨立調查委員會對大選違規行為進行調查,現在這個結果是在沒有設立獨立調查委員會的前提下公佈的,故救國黨拒絕承認這個不能反映柬埔寨選民真正心聲的大選結果。柬埔寨選舉委員會當日早些時候公佈了大選的正式結果,與上月十二日公佈的初步結果一致:柬埔寨人民黨獲得國會一百二十三個議席中的六十八席,反對黨柬埔寨救國黨獲得五十五席。柬埔寨救國黨副主席肯索卡表示,為表達對選舉結果的抗議,從九月十五日起,救國黨將舉行連續三天的和平遊行示威活動抗議,同時救國黨將抵制新一屆國會的成立。冀國王助解僵局肯索卡在發佈會上還呼籲,盼望國王西哈莫尼能盡快回國協助解決目前選後的政治局勢,盡文件倉協調執政黨人民黨和柬埔寨救國黨之間,召開一個最高會議共同解決當前兩黨目前的爭端。七月廿八日,柬埔寨舉行國會選舉。八月十二日,柬埔寨選舉委員會公佈選舉初步結果,但救國黨拒絕接受這一結果,稱救國黨贏得了六十三個席位,並警告說如果不對選舉違規行為進行獨立調查,該黨將抵制新一屆國會。九月七日,救國黨在首都金邊舉行了約有兩萬人參與的大型集會,抗議選舉初步結果,重申要求設立獨立的調查委員會,對大選重新調查。此前,柬埔寨選舉委員會、柬埔寨憲法委員會先後駁回救國黨提交的關於大選違規行為的申訴。柬埔寨首相洪森早前表示,表決法律草案和成立新一屆政府只需要國會過半數席位就能通過。大選後六十天,柬埔寨國王西哈莫尼將召開新一屆國會首次會議,如果反對黨議員不參加,意味著反抗國王並放棄席位,國家選舉委員會將把被放棄的席位分配給獲得席位的其他政黨。柬埔寨國王西哈莫尼分別於八月七日和八月三十日發表文告,呼籲人民黨和救國黨和平解決大選爭端,共同維護國家穩定和發展。存倉
