After rallying 4.3 points in January to its highest level since July
2011, the YPO
Global Pulse Confidence Index for Asia inched down just 0.1 point to
64.2 in April, with declines in Chinese confidence offset by rising
optimism in Japan. The ASEAN economies are more confident than the
region as a whole; their composite level edged up 0.9 point to 68.6.

The survey results were announced today by YPO
(Young Presidents Organization), a not-for-profit global network of
20,000 chief executive officers.

*Key findings*

*Year-end euphoria tempered in China; confidence in Japan continues
to rise.* Disparate trends in China and Japan are revealed
underneath the stability in regional confidence. In China, the YPO
Global Pulse Confidence Index gave back 7 of the 21 points it had gained
in the previous quarter on weaker-than-expected economic data. In
contrast, the confidence level of Japanese CEOs increased for the second
straight quarter to 57.1, its highest level in the history of the
four-year survey. Business confidence levels in both Hong Kong and India
remained virtually unchanged in the mid-60s.

*Asian CEOs bullish on sales, hiring and fixed investment. *The
YPO Sales Confidence Index for Asia landed at 72.0, 5.7 points above the
global composite index. Employment confidence landed at 59.5, slightly
above the global reading of 58.2. Finally, the fixed investment
confidence held steady at 65.5, above the global reading of 59.7.

*CEOs optimistic about short-term conditions.* Asian
business leaders remain fairly upbeat about overall business and
economic conditions over the next six months, with half (49%) saying
they expected conditions to improve over this period of time and only 9%
expecting them to deteriorate.

*Commentary*

Concerns about the sustainability of Chinas economic expansion
appeared to be allayed earlier this year, but analysts interpreted more
recent data as suggesting that the current economic rebound remains
fragile,” said Terry OConnor, regional chief executive officer of
Courts Asia and chair of the YPO Singapore Chapter. At the same time,
new economic stimulus measures in Japan and continued strength in the
ASEAN economies are keeping overall Asian confidence at a robust level.”

China's struggling automakers jump on SUV boom

Updated 1:00 am, Tuesday, May 7, 2013

Whatever their specialties used to be, automakers ranging from global brands to China's ambitious rookies are scrambling to cash in on the explosive popularity of sport utility vehicles. The SUV boom clashes with Beijing's efforts to push automakers to develop electric cars and to sell smaller vehicles to help curb smog and demand for imported oil. [...] the SUV's image of safety appeals to prosperous Chinese drivers who face chaotic city streets while electrics from BYD and other producers struggle to attract buyers. The fatter profit margins for SUVs are a financial lifeline to a Chinese industry that is being squeezed as global brands make inroads into their market for smaller cars. Global automakers are redesigning SUVs for China with smaller engines in response to government taxes based on engine size. [...] at the auto show, global automakers including Mercedes Benz and Nissan and local brands such as Geely Holding Group, which owns Sweden's Volvo Cars, and Great Wall Motors Co. showed new SUVs or SUV concept vehicles. The SUV boom could be especially important to China's own automakers, who are struggling as global rivals launch new models aimed right at their traditional low-price market segment. Because they are bigger and heavier like trucks, SUVs are treated more leniently by government rules on fuel efficiency and emissions. The company also is developing four-wheel-drive technology that powers two wheels with an internal combustion engine and two with an electric motor, eliminating the need for a drive train that takes up floor space, Ho said.

China Denies Renewed U.S. Cyberattack Claims

May 7, 2013, 2:15 am
$

BEIJING -- China's military on Tuesday denied renewed U.S. accusations of sponsoring cyber-attacks and said the sides should cooperate against the global threat of computer crime.

The accusations in the latest Pentagon report on the Chinese military are "irresponsible and harmful to the mutual trust between the sides, Senior Col. Wang Xinjun, a People's Liberation Army researcher, was quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency as saying.

"The Chinese government and armed forces have never sanctioned hacking activities," said Wang, who is based at the Academy of Military Sciences in Beijing, one of the PLA's main think tanks. The military frequently uses such academics as alternative spokesmen.

The annual Pentagon report released Monday included for the first time the accusation that at least some attacks on U.S. government and other computer systems appeared to be "attributable directly" to the Chinese government and military. It said China is using its cyber capabilities to collect intelligence against U.S. diplomatic, economic and defense programs, and is developing the skills needed to conduct cyber-warfare.

The new wording in the report continues an escalating effort by U.S. officials to call out the Chinese on the cyber-attacks and to press for a more open dialogue with Beijing on the problem.

The Defense Ministry did not immediately respond to faxed questions about the report, but has denied carrying out hacking attacks in the past.

The issue was spotlighted in February with the issuing of a report by U.S.-based cyber-security firm Mandiant that claimed to have traced several years of cyber-attacks against 140 mostly American companies to a Chinese military unit in Shanghai. Mandiant executives say attacks originating in China have continued since then, with the exception of those from Shanghai-based Unit 61398 that had been highlighted in its earlier report.

China says it's impossible to tell the true origin of cyber-attacks, and accuses hostile forces in the U.S. and elsewhere of blaming China out of prejudice or a desire to put Beijing on the defensive.

It has also called on the sides to join forces against cyber criminals, and officials earlier this year agreed to set up a joint working group on cybercrime.

"Both China and the U.S. are victims of cybercrimes and should work together to tackle the problems," Xinhua cited Wang as saying. Reported by Huffington Post 2 hours ago.

Pentagon accuses China of trying to hack US defence networks

China dismisses as 'hype' Pentagon's claim that China is using cybersnooping to acquire technology for its military modernisation

China is using espionage to acquire technology to fuel its military modernisation, the Pentagon has said, for the first time accusing the Chinese of trying to break into US defence computer networks and prompting a firm denial from Beijing.

In its 83-page annual report to Congress on Chinese military developments, the Pentagon also cited progress in Beijing's efforts to develop advanced-technology stealth aircraft and build an aircraft carrier fleet to project its power further offshore.

The report said China's cybersnooping was a serious concern that pointed to an even greater threat because the "skills required for these intrusions are similar to those necessary to conduct computer network attacks".

"The US government continued to be targeted for (cyber) intrusions, some of which appear to be attributable directly to the Chinese government and military," it said, adding that the main purpose of the hacking was to gain information to benefit defence industries, military planners and government leaders.

A spokeswoman said it was the first time the annual Pentagon report had cited Beijing for targeting US defence networks, but China dismissed the report as groundless.

The US defence department had repeatedly "made irresponsible comments about China's normal and justified defence buildup and hyped up the so-called China military threat," Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said.

"This is not beneficial to US-China mutual trust and co-operation," Hua told reporters. "We are firmly opposed to this and have already made representations to the US side."

China's defence buildup was geared towards protecting its "national independence and sovereignty", she said.

On the accusations of hacking, Hua said: "We firmly oppose any groundless criticism and hype, because groundless hype and criticism will only harm bilateral efforts at co-operation and dialogue."

Despite concerns over the intrusions, a senior US defence official said his main worry was the lack of transparency.

"What concerns me is the extent to which China's military modernisation occurs in the absence of the type of openness and transparency that others are certainly asking of China," David Helvey, the deputy assistant secretary of defence for east Asia, told a Pentagon briefing on the report.

He warned of the "potential implications and consequences of that lack of transparency on the security calculations of others in the region".

The annual China report, which Congress began requesting in 2000, comes amid ongoing tensions in the region due to China's military assertiveness and expansive claims of sovereignty over disputed islands and shoals. Beijing has ongoing territorial disputes with the Philippines, Japan and other neighbours.

Beijing's publicly announced defence spending has grown at an inflation-adjusted pace of nearly 10% annually over the past decade, but Helvey said China's actual outlays were thought to be higher.

China announced a 10.7% increase in military spending to $114bn (£73bn) in March, the Pentagon report said. Publicly announced defence spending for 2012 was $106bn, but actual spending for 2012 could range between $135bn and $215bn, it said. US defence spending is more than double that, at more than $500bn.

The report highlighted China's continuing efforts to gain access to sophisticated military technology to fuel its modernisation programme. It cited a list of methods, including "state-sponsored industrial and technical espionage to increase the level of technologies and expertise available to support military research, development and acquisition".

Dean Cheng, an analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank, said he was surprised by the number of cases of human espionage cited in the report.

"This is a PLA (People's Liberation Army) that is extensively, comprehensively modernising," Cheng said. "…China is also comprehensively engaging in espionage."

China tested its second advanced stealth fighter in as many years in October 2012, highlighting its "continued ambition to produce advanced fifth-generation fighter aircraft", the report said. Neither of its stealth aircraft was expected to achieve effective operational capability before 2018, it said.

Last year also saw China commission its first domestically produced aircraft carrier. China currently has one refitted ex-Soviet aircraft carrier, and conducted its first takeoff and landing from the ship in November. Reported by guardian.co.uk 2 hours ago.

India-China border dispute: both sides step warily with high-level visits due

May 7, 2013, 4:16 am

Most serious argument in 25 years risks undermining chances of a diplomatic breakthrough

Two weeks ago Indian military officials announced that they had discovered that a platoon of Chinese soldiers had crossed the de facto border between the two countries and set up camp an unprecedented 10km inside Indian-claimed territory, sparking a still unresolved standoff.

China's foreign ministry said last week that its troops were patrolling on the Chinese side of the border and "never trespassed the line".

Such disputes have a long history. But the latest incident, in a previously uncontested area, involves the most serious accusations by India in 25 years and is posing a challenge for the countries' diplomats ahead of a visit to New Delhi by China's new premier, Li Keqiang, this month. New Delhi and Beijing have indicated that they do not want the border disagreement to derail their broader relationship.

Indian officials at first underplayed the alleged incursion. Prime minister Manmohan Singh called it a "localised" problem and said his government did not want to "accentuate" it. Foreign minister Salman Khurshid described the dispute as an "acne" that could be addressed "by simply applying an ointment". Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that Beijing believes peace in the border areas serves both countries' interests. "The border issue is an issue left over from history," she said in a statement, adding that "both sides should carry out communication and negotiations to resolve it".

But as the standoff in the mountainous northern region of Ladakh continued, such resolution appeared as distant as ever. Three meetings between army officials on the border and diplomatic exchanges had last week failed to budge the two sides from their sticking points: New Delhi wants the Chinese troops to step back from the face-off point and remove their tents.

Beijing insists that the troops, who remain in the camp, are on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control.

Complicating diplomatic efforts is the pressure of two impending official visits: in addition to Li's scheduled trip to India, Khurshid is expected to travel to Beijing this month. "Diplomacy requires time and space," Indian foreign ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said last Thursday.

India is examining what it can do – including limited, tactical measures on the ground and possibly calling off Khurshid's visit – without jeopardising ties. Last week, even as its top security panel discussed military options, it announced that it will stage counterterrorism military exercises with China later this year. Senior army officers also attended May Day celebrations in China.

The neighbours have held 15 rounds of fruitless border talks since the 1990s. Ties have frayed several times as the two sparred over the construction of dams by China on rivers that flow into India or visits by Indian officials to border provinces that China claims. India has also watched warily as China has built military infrastructure and road and railway networks near the border in Tibet.

Many Indians have interpreted the New Delhi government's caution in the latest incident as weakness, even cowardice. But some see it as a sign of maturity.

"Only if our foreign minister goes to Beijing will we have clarity on what the Chinese concerns are," said Alka Acharya, a professor of Chinese studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. "They say we have built some structures in that disputed area. There are conflicting claims. We can't keep beating our chests and shouting, 'Throw them out'."

Solar Panels and Hackers: The West Gangs Up on China

Solar Panels and Hackers: The West Gangs Up on China Filed under: U.S. Government

The world has started to gang up on China. America's Defense Department published a report as part of its Annual Report to Congress. In "Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China 2013," officials wrote:



In 2012, numerous computer systems around the world, including those owned by the US government, continued to be targeted for intrusions, some of which appear to be attributable directly to the Chinese government and military.



Further, the analysts said the Chinese effort was to improve the quality and competitiveness of its own military.

Europe, not to be outdone in banging the People's Republic, hit China on the anticompetitive front. As The Wall Street Journal reported on tariffs on Chinese solar panels:



The European Union is poised to slap import duties on solar-panel equipment made in China, likely sparking one of the largest trade battles of recent decades.

The duties are intended to protect European solar companies reeling from a flood of imported Chinese solar panels. Dozens of European manufacturers have shut production or gone out of business as solar-panel prices have plummeted; the industry says unfairly priced imports from China are the cause.



Although the two actions are not directly related, they do point to the fact that the West has become frustrated enough about China's illegal activities to begin a series of harsh countermeasures.

Paint Manufacturing in China Industry Research Report – Now Available from IBISWorld

Strong performance in downstream industries has fueled 13.4% annualized growth in the Paint Manufacturing industry in China over the five years through 2013 to reach $52.2 billion. The development of the Paint Manufacturing industry is largely dependent on demand from the Automobile Manufacturing industry and China's real estate sector, says IBISWorld.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2013

Strong performance in downstream industries has fueled 13.4% annualized growth in the Paint Manufacturing industry in China over the five years through 2013 to reach $52.2 billion. Offsetting strengthened macro-controls on China's real estate market is increasing demand from the construction of indemnificatory and low-rent houses and old house renovation, says IBISWorld.

The development of the Paint Manufacturing industry is largely dependent on demand from the Automobile Manufacturing (IBISWorld industry report 3721) industry and China's real estate sector. Although the Chinese government has been implementing strict macro-controls on the real estate market, the construction of low-income housing is speeding up, which is driving demand for architectural paint, says IBISWorld. Increasing urbanization is also supporting the development of the real estate markets in China's medium-sized and small cities. Meanwhile, strong double-digit growth in the Automobile Manufacturing industry has been boosting sales of automotive paint.

The Paint Manufacturing industry in China has a low industry concentration level. This is due to the large number of small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the industry, says IBISWorld. The top four firms–Nippon, DuPont, Azko Nobel and PPG–account for about 12.1% of industry revenue in 2013.

LiveRoof, the Green Roof Solution that Establishes a Naturally Functioning Ecosystem with Thriving, Full-grown Plants, Announces Launch of LiveRoof China, Inc.

BEIJING, CHINA and SPRING LAKE, Mich. USA. (PRWEB) May 08, 2013

Chinese population explosion has created massive cities with equally massive challenges of pollution control and water management. Chinese government officials look to solve these problems with low impact developments that help to naturally absorb carbon dioxide and control storm water runoff. Green roofs, also known as planted roofs, make it possible for densely built urban space to be greened, and this greening helps improve widespread environmental concerns. Recognizing the need for an advanced green roof solution in China, North American industry leading provider LiveRoof, LLC has announced the formation of LiveRoof China, Inc. to provide the technology in a locally produced, sustainable and affordable manner.

The LiveRoof® planted roof system is already licensed for distribution in many global markets, including South America, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The licensing of LiveRoof China, Inc. is the latest and largest international effort to date to establish the US technology in foreign markets. In its twelfth five year plan, the People’s Republic of China has placed particular emphasis on environmental production measures such as green roofs, according to LiveRoof China, Inc. CEO Mr. Dana McIntyre. “We are excited to bring this Green Roof science and technology to Beijing. The LiveRoof system is a simple, proven and effective solution to many of the problems that plague densely populated urban settings.”

The 2012 World Green Roof Congress was hosted in Hangzhou last October and this year’s conference will again be held in China, this time in Nanjing. In inviting green roof experts from around the globe, the People’s Republic has demonstrated deep commitment to mitigating its environmental challenges. “Greening all existing roof tops in Beijing would be the equivalent of taking nearly 1,000,000 cars off the roads of Beijing. If any world entity has the ability to make this happen quickly, it is China” according to McIntyre.

Early efforts in the region have been greeted with enthusiasm and readiness. “Top real estate developers, universities and other state-owned entities in Beijing are eager adapt the system to local climate and implement a distribution network reaching all major Chinese markets,” McIntyre added. The plants chosen for use on the green roofs must be able to adapt to a rooftop environment with little soil and protection from heat, cold and wind exposure. LiveRoof, LLC business development manager, Ms. Amber Ponce, explains that the company’s experiences gained in developing a North American network with local plant experts in nearly all climate types will guide LiveRoof China, Inc in establishing a similar network. “The plants aren’t ‘one-size-fits-all,’ which is why this new venture will localize the selection and growing of the plants in each region.” She also noted that local production is more sustainable as it reduces the amount of resources required for transportation.

“Widespread green roof implementation holds promise to have a lasting, positive impact on locale for all of China’s cities,” according to Mr. John Teng, director of LiveRoof China, Inc. “Launching LiveRoof at this point in Chinese history presents a monumental opportunity for us to help shape and promote that positive impact,” adds Teng.
