Government to keep CPI in check

China's consumer prices face greater pressure, but a prudent fiscal policy and tight monetary measures would help head off any serious inflation, the nation's top economic planner said yesterday.
The Central Economic Work Conference said the country will monitor price movements and prevent them from spiraling out of control.
"Major triggers for inflation will still exist in 2007, including domestic food price hikes and rising commodities prices in overseas markets," the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a statement.
China will encourage production of life necessities such as grain, edible oil and meat to stabilize the prices and curb inflation, the economic conference heard.
Food prices, which gained 11.3 percent in the first 10 months, is said to be the major cause of the country's "structural inflation". According to NDRC, food price rises accounted for 84 percent of the nation's consumer price gains in the first 10 months.
China's consumer price index (CPI), the barometer for inflation, gained 6.5 percent year-on-year in October, matching the 10-year record in August.
The index is expected to grow 4.5 percent this year, according to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, much higher than the 3 percent target set by the central bank early this year. The government think tank said the top priority for China's macroeconomic controllers next year is to ease inflationary pressure and stabilize price levels.
International factors such as soaring oil and corn prices on the world market would also be felt in China next year, NDRC said.
High oil prices and a weakening US dollar have resulted in inflation globally, causing the CPI to rise 10.8 percent in Russia, 6.7 percent in India and 3.5 percent in the US, according to NDRC.
The top economic planner also said the government's decision to adjust the pricing mechanism for energy products would also add to inflation pressure.
China has drafted its first energy law, trying to introduce a market-led pricing mechanism for its energy sector.
The new mechanism is expected to bring prices of domestic energy products largely in line with that on the overseas market, so as to price out those low-efficiency energy consumers.
"The central government has decided to take prudent fiscal and tight monetary policies to rein in investment and curb inflation," NDRC said, adding these moves might lead consumer prices to fall next year.
Yu Yongding, former member of the monetary policy committee of the central bank, said earlier that the CPI gains had sent a clear signal for tight monetary policies, as a 4 percent CPI growth was the upper limit for the economy to afford, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

APStocks Rally on Strong Economic DataWednesday December 5, 5:42 pm ET By Joe Bel Bruno, AP Business Writer Stocks Soar As Investors Grow More Optimistic About Economy, Upcoming Interest Rate Cut
NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street resumed its rally Wednesday after new data showed the overall economy is holding up but isn't too strong to prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates. The Dow Jones industrial average rose nearly 200 points.ADVERTISEMENT Stocks turned around following two sessions of losses after a report showed hiring in the U.S. private sector expanded at a faster pace in November. ADP Employer Services said 189,000 jobs were added during the month -- an increase that bodes well for consumer spending.
The report raised hopes for a strong November jobs report from the Labor Department on Friday. Investors were also encouraged Wednesday after the department reported worker productivity advanced by an annual rate of 6.3 percent in the summer, the fastest pace in four years, while wage pressures eased.
"The best news for the market is good news on the economy," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank. "There might be a general malaise among homeowners these days, but as long as more people are getting paychecks then the economy can withstand the stress."
Still, there is enough uncertainty in the economy to bolster the argument for lower rates. The financial sector is still struggling from months of credit problems, and the Institute for Supply Management reported Wednesday that service sector growth slowed in November.
Some investors are betting the Fed will go beyond the generally anticipated quarter percentage point cut, and lower rates by a half point. A mere quarter-point cut could bring some disappointment to Wall Street, but as long as the Fed reiterates an openness to lower rates further in its accompanying economic assessment, the market should move higher, said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
"We could see a nice December here," Detrick said.
The Dow rose 196.23, or 1.48 percent, to 13,444.96, resuming the big recovery it launched last week following a mostly dismal November.
The blue chip index got an extra boost from component American International Group Inc., which said that although it's expecting a hefty portfolio writedown in the fourth quarter, the ongoing mortgage crisis is manageable. AIG rose $2.70, or 4.9 percent, to $58.15.
Broader indexes also moved higher. The Standard & Poor's 500 index added 22.22, or 1.52 percent, to 1,485.01, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 46.53, or 1.78 percent, to 2,666.36.
Bond prices fell. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.95 percent from 3.90 percent late Tuesday. The dollar rose, and gold prices fell.
The market is currently pricing in a rate cut next week, Ablin said. Supporting the case for a cut is that central banks globally seem to be open to the idea, a trend that would give the Fed even more room to move.
The Bank of Canada cut rates Tuesday, while the Bank of England and European Central Bank will make rate decisions Thursday.
Investors also weighed a Commerce Department report that showed factory orders unexpectedly rose in October. However, that data was likely offset by a report from the Institute for Supply Management showing growth in the service sector cooled somewhat in November.
Wednesday's advance was fed by investors betting that the Fed might be generous and cut rates a half percentage point, or, in market lingo, 50 basis points.
"I do believe the market wants 50, that the Fed needs to do a lot more work, and that a quarter is not going to do it," said Greg Church, chief investment officer of Church Capital Management.
A resumption of the downtrend in oil prices also contributed to the gains on Wall Street. OPEC decided Wednesday to keep production steady but set a new meeting for Feb. 1 to raise output if prices rise. Meanwhile, the government reported that U.S. oil supplies fell steeply last week while gasoline stockpiles rose, both by greater margins than analysts had expected.
Light, sweet crude fell 83 cents to settle at $87.49 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Fannie Mae shares rose 95 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $36.13 after it followed rival mortgage financer Freddie Mac in cutting its dividend and selling special stock to raise capital. The government-sponsored lender hopes to cushion against mounting losses from high-risk home loans. Freddie rose $2.36, or 7.3 percent, to $34.67.
Technology stocks broadly advanced after Intel Corp.'s stock was upgraded on expectations the personal computer market will be strong next year. Shares added 91 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $27.22.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 13.58, or 1.81 percent, to 765.64.
Advancing issues led decliners by a nearly 3 to 1 basis on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 3.55 billion shares, up from 3.22 billion Tuesday.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average closed up 0.83 percent, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 1.61 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 closed up 2.83 percent, Germany's DAX index rose 1.74 percent, and France's CAC-40 increased 2.02 percent.

Groups Want Uniform Fuel Economy Rules

APGroups Want Uniform Fuel Economy RulesWednesday December 5, 6:47 pm ET By Ken Thomas, Associated Press Writer
Industry Groups Want Consistency Between EPA's Emissions Standards, NHTSA's Fuel Economy Rules
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Industry groups are pressing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to create consistent rules for new fuel efficiency standards being considered by Congress, a move that could conflict with aggressive requirements being pushed by California.
Automakers and their allies in Congress have pushed for the energy bill to clarify the authority of two federal agencies that regulate emissions and gas-mileage standards.
Pelosi rejected attempts by Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., to include a provision that would ensure that any regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration be consistent and not create conflicts that would be difficult for the auto industry to meet.
In a letter Wednesday to Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., eight trade groups said the bill should require the EPA and NHTSA to "work together to establish a single national fuel economy standard as established by Congress."
"If this issue is not addressed in this legislation, it is likely to cause great confusion, complicating and delaying the work of the agencies charged with implementing this bill," the industry groups wrote.
The trade groups included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Petroleum Institute, National Petrochemical and Refiners Association, and the National Association of Manufacturers, which is led by former Michigan Gov. John Engler.
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said her office had received the letter and was reviewing it. Dingell, who leads the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told reporters Saturday that he planned to examine the EPA-NHTSA consistency issue in his committee.
Environmental groups have raised concerns that a combined approach would prevent California from moving forward with its strict tailpipe emissions standards, which would require automakers to build vehicles that produce 30 percent less greenhouse gases by 2016. More than a dozen other states have vowed to adopt them.
California can't enforce the tailpipe rules for cars sold in the state until it gets a waiver from the EPA exempting it from national greenhouse gas pollution standards set under the federal Clean Air Act. The state can set its own vehicle pollution standards because it started regulating air pollution before the EPA's creation.
The EPA is expected to make a decision on the waiver before the end of the year and is drafting new regulations in response to a Supreme Court ruling in April that said the agency could regulate vehicle tailpipe emissions.
NHTSA was given the enforcement authority of fuel economy standards when the law was created in 1975, so automakers have cautioned they may be forced to comply with two different standards.

18th century East Aisa Confucianism thought comparison seminarsummarizes-2

(2) suddenly reveals the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean three countriesConfucian scholars' interaction relations. The 18th century Chinese,Japanese, and Korean three countries have not certainly been at thecondition which mutually isolates, between three countries academiccultures interaction follows the political economy interaction tolaunch. 18th century, the Chinese Confucian scholars practice thehabitually used textual criticism the method to perform to theConfucianist classics to study, this is impossible not to affect theEast Asian other countries, Professor Cheng Junguan university Xu □sremote pointed out: "Enters for 18th century the North Korean laterperiods, the so-called northern school of thought academic holds theopen to the Qing Dynasty manner. They accompany Yanjing ' thediplomatic group ', frequently communicates South Korea and China...... This kind admires the Chinese thought development for the smallChinese principle, devotes so-called to ' the North Korean heart 'middle raise. This kind the manner which opened to the culture hasbeen separated from the former Neo-Confucianism ideology, correctlyhas grasped Qing Dynasty academic 真貌, the academic circles hasbrought the bright textual research study tendency for South Korea."Professor Cheng Junguan university Lin Hexuan acts according to 17kind of China and South Korea to be handed down for generations theliterature, mutually according to, outlined the temple of Confucianlearning 佾 dance scene, also described its evolution process. 18thcentury, Ming Dynasty already perishes, generation but was QingDynasty, Professor Cheng Junguan university Li Meilin the system hasstudied the North Korean later period West China Song dynastyneo-Confucianism, pointed out in West China Song dynastyneo-Confucianism Hua Yi discusses (reveres week to discuss) is to theMing Dynasty righteousness theory which already perished, this atleast was one kind attempted in the spirit to maintain has alreadydisintegrated the East Asian culture order endeavor.(3) unfolds the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Confucianism developmentthe different way. 18th century 近世 transform as East Asian ZhuGuocong as the modern century, the various countries' interior all aresurging the tidal current which the thought innovates, theConfucianism folding fan are being near the new challenge; However,because the various countries' national condition is different, thevarious countries' Confucian scholar's response certainly not all isconsistent, then finally moved towards the different development way.Professor Cui Yingchen said that, "Examines" Confucianism RelationsHistory Timeline ", can discover 18th century besides wear in Chinashake on have not appeared the prominent Confucianism beside, aredeveloped except the textual research study have not certainlyappeared the big knowledge achievement... ... In North Korea, Japan,the remarkable meek scientist and the school of thought it may be saidemerges one after another incessantly." Professor Huang Junjiecontrasts the China and Japan Confucianism the similarities anddifferences, thought 18th century in Chinese Confucian scholar thoughtChinese main body consciousness is in collects, take self- as thecenter also not the nice foreign country, this the manner which openswith the Japanese Confucian scholars has formed the sharp contrast.South Korea extends world university Professor Li Guanghu by 18thcentury South Korea Confucian scholar Li □□ heart to say for theexample, explained it already positively absorbs western the naturalsciences thought, also absorbs in the inherent religious thought thereasonable ingredient, constructs his/her heart by this to say thethought.The congress paper also involved in the Confucianist philosophy othermany stratification planes, for instance Wuhan University ProfessorWen Bifang debated by the South Korean scholar four pole sevensentiments relates to the modern scholar to the Chuhsi heart, thenatural, the sentiment concept annotation, has provided the brand-newsight, thus studied the major issue for Chuhsi to make the furtherdiscussion. Qinghua University Liao Ming spring professor combs "theBook of Changes" the text, the annotation "is again dry", "the Yinprinciple" intrinsic 意蕴, returns to original state "the Book ofChanges" own philosophy, denial "Book of Changes" but saying of for占筮 the book. Wuhan technical University open large professor todiscuss in Song dynasty neo-Confucianism's esthetics essential factor,organically unified the Song bright Neo-Confucianism same esthetics,in the indication morals pursue was esthetic 意蕴.Finally, Professor Guo Qiyong pointed out that, 18th century Chinacircle of thinkers interior also is extremely complex and diverse, isnot only has the textual criticism, or the thinker only has wearsshakes a person. For instance the Li light, Zhang Boxing, Li □b, FangBao, the river forever, Hui Dong, the entire ancestor will look, YuanMei, the Lu article □□, Zhuang Cun and, Jiang Sheng, Ji Yun, ZhaoYi, Qian Daxin, Yao Nai, Duan Wangcai, Zhang Xuecheng, Cui Shu, WangNiansun, Wang Zhong, loud and clear lucky, Sun Xingyan, Zhang Huiyan,Jiao Xun and so on, but also some 18 and junctions of 19th centurylarge quantities of scholars, the thought will be extremely rich. 18thcentury China and entire East Asian society, between the governmentand the people, still was a world which Chuhsi studies, "Four Books"the time, at that time East Aisa all scholars all are in thefoundation which Chuhsi studies pondered the question, including wearsshakes. Places such as the Korean Peninsula, Japanese chain islands,Vietnam Chuhsi studies extremely richly, has own invention creation,is really big to the Neo-Confucianism contribution. Must the multi-dimensions carefully examine Chuhsi to study with is bright studystudies the west in the East Asian area, steps onto the auxiliary padrole which the modernization plays, in this on the one hand, theChinese, Japanese, and Korean scholar had many achievements under, wealso want the strength research. Professor Guo also appealed China theyoung scholar many pays attention to Han, the dynasty, the date, themore Confucianism, modestly studies to the various countries' scholar,thoroughly studies the Confucianism tradition and the East Asianmodern multiple relations.After two days time warm discussions, this conference is extremelysuccessful, had reflected now the Confucianism researchinternationalization degree enhancement, has made the new attempt forthe development Confucianism research domain.

18th century East Aisa Confucianism thought seminar convenes fromOctober 19, 2007 to 20th in the Wuhan University. This session ofcongresses by South Korean Cheng Junguan the university Confucianismculture research institute and Wuhan University Kong Zi and theConfucianism research center, the Wuhan University China traditionalculture research center, the Wuhan University philosophy institutejointly sponsor, university East Aisa academic courtyard Confucianismculture research institute Manager Professor Wu Xiyuan managestogether by Wuhan University Kong Zi and Confucianism research centerDirector Professor Guo Qiyong and South Korean Cheng Junguan.Cheng Junguan the university has more than 600 years the history, isthe quite rich great reputation old school. The East AsianConfucianism research is this school strong point. On Cheng Junguanuniversity's invitation, my school Professor Guo Qiyong visited thisschool in July, 2006, attended this school sponsor "the Confucianismclassics and 17th century East Aisa Confucianism thought" theinternational academic conference and read out the paper. At that timethe China Wuhan University philosophy institute and South Korean ChengJunguan between the university Japan education ministry, as well asWuhan University Kong Zi and the Confucianism research center andCheng Junguan between the university Confucianism culture researchinstitute has signed the international academic exchange agreement,this conference is carries out the cooperation agreement a content.This congress subject is "18th century East Aisa Confucianism thoughtcomparison research". This conference convention, is for the purposeof positively impelling the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean threenational studies to the East Asian Confucianism comparison researchacademic advancement, diligently sets at 18th century Confucianismthought research in a greater background, the open field of vision.Professor Guo Qiyong thought that, "18th century took the thought thetransformation time, the East Asian Confucianism thought world has hadmany changes. Therefore compares this time China, Japan, and Koreathree countries' the Confucianism thought, regarding the East Asianmodernization advancement exploration, it may be said watershed."(1) seeks 18th century East Aisa three countries Confucianismdevelopment the common stratification plane. In 18th century, the EastAsian country Confucianist both faces is receiving to traditionalConfucianist thought itself passes on with transforms, and has noalternative but to go faced with the external civilized challenge.Chinese, Japanese, and Korean three countries' many scholars all indiligently 糅合 the ancient and modern, mediate the Chinese andforeign. Taiwan University Professor Huang Junjie believed that, 18thcentury Chinese and Japanese Confucian scholars all in sparely noeffort opposed Chuhsi the theory, "Four Books" carries on again theannotation again to the Confucianist classics, substitutes for ZhuXi's annotation by this. Zhu Xi through to "Four Books" the annotationcomes structure its Neo-Confucianism the philosophy system, but thistime Confucian scholar then launches the comprehensive critique takethis as the breach. They no longer the main body which goes to schoolas the shape concern the principle the foundation which the valuediscusses, are more pays attention to person's in daily life concretephenomenon, no longer raises high the abstract moral principle, butcarries out the human relations practice which clear may feel.However, criticizes while them which Chuhsi's studies, we alsorealized to Confucian scholar like Dai Zhen and person and so on ZhangXuecheng in addition is seeking the trail, launched the Confucianistphilosophy new ball game, Wuhan University Professor Wu Genyoudiscusses from the road embarks, tests has discussed the dry fine timeConfucianist philosophy new trend, discovered a concept althoughoriginated to the pre-qin, but in actually changed by now rich and isprofound, Wu Wen finally pointed out: "Must say it, the dry fine time' theory ' the thought specially takes to attribute ' is realistic 'and the human relations everyday use principle ' the road ', this kind' the road ' both contains has the real situation the content, and iscontaining the value judgement; It comes from during the experienceand the life above, also surmounted experiences and lives, ' thenatural justice ' discusses the thought entirely different with theSong bright Neo-Confucianism medium range Zhu Neo-Confucianism." SouthKorean Professor Cheng Junguan university Cui Yingchen through to thethought periphery inspection, pointed out the Chinese, Japanese, andKorean three countries are facing the common time background: 1st,sovereignty strengthening and economical, cultural leap development;2nd, thought rule strengthening; 3rd, regarding western understanding;4th, new social stratum appearance. Qinghua big course steel professorwill inspect Dai Zhen gas to say that, pointed out will wear shakes "'the gasification ' and ' the thing ' differentiates, will gasify isclear about sums up as the dynamic vigor, ' the thing ' will sum up asthe inert material, and will emphasize ' the gasification ' and ' thething ' 相异性." Also this said contacts with Yu Mingmo missionaryMatteo Ricci the gas to say, then pointed out this later period in thefamous scholar Ding Chashan's thought also has the close tendency inNorth Korea. The East Asian three countries in a longer time, alltogether receive and obey the Chuhsi theory, therefore studies aboutcontemporary Chuhsi the research, South Korea opens bright universityProfessor Li Dongxi to believe: "In middle the modern explanationwhich studies to the Chinese Chuhsi, does not refer to South Koreanthe tradition is not good. This observes universal at the same timewhich the Chuhsi theory the essential thought has middle, alsoinspects in the particular reason which local launches presents isat." Japanese international Christianity university island ProfessorKang Jing the South Korean Ding Chashan's thought and the JapaneseConfucianism thought will unify the inspection, discovered in to Songdynasty neo-Confucianism criticism, to "ritual" will focus attentionon, to "the day" aspect and so on understanding, the Chashan and Japanwill go the figure study to have very many common place, although theChashan the figure equally has not certainly launched the throughcriticism like Di Shengcu to Zhu Xi.
