Strength returns

China's manufacturing has recorded growth for 10 straight months, consolidating the recovery of the world's third largest economy, an official survey showed on Friday.

The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) of China's manufacturing sector stood at 56.6 percent in December, 1.4 percentage points higher than that for November, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) said.

It was the 10th straight month that the data stayed above 50, which indicated expansion. A reading below 50 signaled contraction.

The rising index suggested the Chinese economy has further consolidated its recovery, said Zhang Liqun, a researcher with the Development Research Center of the State Council.

The index for export order was 52.6 percent, 1 percentage point lower than a month earlier. Zhang said it is too early to be optimistic about the recovery of the global market.

The purchasing price index was 66.7 percent, up 3.3 percentage points, the highest among other figures.

Zhang said manufacturers should enhance their competitiveness to better cope with the rising production costs.

New export order index climbed by 2.6 percentage points to 61 percent.
 
Chinese equities ended the 2009 trading at the Shanghai market with an annual gain of 80 percent.

The smaller Shenzhen market rose 111 percent in 2009.

The figures indicate that China's stock market is among the remarkable performance in the world's major economies.

You refute nothing. You can't even entice you're own former countrymen to repatriate. How much strength is that?
 
Chinese President Hu Jintao said yesterday the policy of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" will be adhered to and exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait will be enhanced to bring more benefits to people on both sides.

"I'd like to solemnly reiterate that China will hold high the flag of peace, development and cooperation and firmly adhere to the foreign policy of maintaining world peace and promoting common development," Hu said.

Chinese Taiwan affairs official Wang Yi expressed the hope that compatriots across the Taiwan Strait will promote mutual trust and strengthen cooperation in 2010 in an article to be published in the "Relations Across Taiwan Straits" magazine.

"In the upcoming year 2010, cross-Strait relations face new hopes for development. Compatriots across the Strait should strengthen confidence, get ride of obstacles and strengthen cooperation in order to create a new situation," said Wang, director of both the CPC Central Committee's Taiwan Work Office and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, in the article.

Wang said cross-Strait relations developed in a stable and all round manner in 2009. It has increasingly become the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan and the mutual understanding of people across the Strait to support more exchanges and cooperation and look forward to peaceful development of cross-Strait relations.

Amid the global financial crisis, the mainland issued a series of policies to help relieve the economic difficulties of the island. And people from all walks of life in the mainland lent their hands to Taiwan compatriots when Typhoon Morakot hit the island, said the article.

Wang said compatriots across the Strait are also expected to broaden cultural exchanges and deepen feelings.
 
But what are you going to do when the rest of the world no longer buys poison dog food and children's toys with lead paint?

lmao
 
Yes China implemented a Stimulus package of their own. Though if the global economy doesn't pick up? Every one, including China, is back to square one in a while....

I remember when we debated relations between China and Taiwan. And noted the need for increased co-operation, not war. They began to implement direct flights from Taiwan to China and many Taiwanese business men are investing heavily in China. They know where all the money is at, so eventually unification will be inevitable. Once the Taiwanese see the wealth China will be generating, they will want in.....
 
Though China is going to have to stop persecuting their Christian population. Taiwan has strong Christian ties.

And China has to clean up their over all image a bit. Which I believe they have been doing.
 
China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin Wednesday called for continuous efforts to push forward peaceful development of relations between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.

Now is an important historical opportunity to further push forward peaceful development of relations across the Taiwan Strait, said Jia Qinglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Political Bureau at a symposium held in Beijing.

Jia, also chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, urged relevant parties to continue to carry out the six proposals on the promotion of peaceful development of cross-Strait relations offered by General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Hu Jintao on Dec. 31, 2008.

Wang Yi, director of both the CPC Central Committee's Taiwan Work Office and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at the same symposium that "cross-Strait relations have embarked on the track of peaceful development in the past year based on historic transition already made."

Jia said that "as seen from the significant and positive changes in cross-Strait ties, peaceful development of cross-Strait relations accords with the common aspirations of compatriots on the two sides and has brought concrete benefits to them."

Jia called on the two sides to ceaselessly consolidate the political, material, cultural and social foundations for development of cross-Strait ties and continuously enhance integration of economy, culture, society and the people's thoughts.

The two sides should stick to the spirit of "building mutual trust, laying aside dispute, seeking consensus and shelving difference, and creating a win-win situation" to maintain sound exchanges, expand consensus and remove obstacles, he said.

The two sides should push forward development of cross-Strait relations and the process of cross-Strait consultations by continuing the progressive method of tackling easy things first, difficult things later; and economic affairs first, political affairs later, he said.

He said the mainland would do more good things for Taiwan compatriots so that more of them could enjoy the benefits of peaceful development of cross-Strait relations.

Jia said relevant parties should encourage more compatriots to take part in the cause of promoting peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and work for the well-being of people on both sides.

And apparently Hong Kong is demanding decomcracy as well.

Hong Kong has been complaining for awhile. Why do you think they put that Catholic guy(Donald Tsang) in charge in Hong Kong? To ease tensions.

Most wealthy Hong Kong elites left China when Hong Kong was returned to the Chinese. Fearing the communists would take away their wealth. They have been investing world wide, but word is many are returning home and you can expect concessions from the Chinese government.
