With the strongest daily yuan fixing since November 2022, along with state banks sustaining dollar-selling, and the adjustment of a cross border financing rule to further discourage yuan sell pressure all in combination, the People's Bank of China was able to forcefully rally the yuan significantly higher. In addition, China's USD-denominated junk bond market sees its worst three-day plunge so far this year, as property developers Wanda Group, as well as two state-backed firms signal imminent default. Weston Nakamura ties the efforts of the PBOC to uplift the yuan with the severe volatility in China's USD-bond markets, and points to China's alarming behavior that something of utmost concern seems underway. -- Follow Market Depth On Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3mVTs9U Follow Market Depth On Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40dA2vm Follow Weston: https://twitter.com/acrossthespread Follow Blockworks: https://twitter.com/Blockworks_  Get top market insights and the latest in crypto news.

Welcome to the 21st installment of the Caixin-Sinica Business Brief, a weekly podcast that brings you the most important business stories of the week from China's top source for business and financial news. Produced by Kaiser Kuo of our Sinica Podcast, it features a business news roundup, plus conversations with Caixin reporters and editors. This week, we examine how Haidilao 海底捞, one of the most popular hotpot restaurants in China, is in hot water after a media exposé, which allegedly showed rats and all sorts of other sanitation problems in it, went viral. We analyze the news that Wanda Group's shares plummeted as much as 10 percent over rumors — denied by the company — that its founder and chairman, Wang Jianlin 王健林, had been detained by Chinese authorities. We dive into the report that the Chinese ship detained by Ecuadorean authorities in mid-August for supposedly illegal fishing off the Galápagos Islands belongs to Fuzhou Honglong Ocean Aquatic, a private company registered in Fujian Province. We explore why some of China Huishan Dairy's creditors, including the Bank of China, are escalating their opposition to the company's debt-restructuring plan. We look at why some of China's biggest cities have called a timeout on the companies responsible for crowding sidewalks with shared bikes. We investigate why leading rail equipment maker CRRC is falling far short of its ambitious goal to use exports to offset slowing growth at home. And we learn about the investigation launched by the Chinese police against Guo Wengui after a former female employee claimed that he repeatedly raped her. In addition, we talk to Caixin senior editor Doug Young about Alibaba and its efforts to build business offline. We also chat with Caixin reporter April Ma about a Chinese startup that used images of WWII-era “comfort women” — sex slaves — to make animated GIFs (the kind that are popular on instant-messaging apps). We'd love to hear your feedback on this product. Please send any comments and suggestions to sinica@supchina.com.

We discuss China's Ministry of Environmental Protection banning imports of solid waste by the end of this year.

China's biggest property developer Wanda Group and Internet giants Baidu and Tencent have unveiled a new e-commerce venture in a challenge to industry leader Alibaba ahead of its stock offering in the United States. The three companies will integrate their online and offline sales, with e-commerce services in Wanda's 107 shopping malls, as well as its hotels and resorts. The companies will invest 5 billion yuan, or more than 810 million U.S. dollars to start. The venture adds to competition for Alibaba, who's Taobao, Tmall and other platforms account for some 80 percent of Chinese online commerce. Alibaba is preparing for a U.S. initial public offering that analysts say might value it between 150 billion and 200 billion dollars. The new venture will develop services including online finance which will pose a challenge to Alibaba's popular banking service, Yu'ebao. China has the world's most populous Internet market, with more than 600 million web users. Experts estimated that online shopping might triple from 2011 levels to 400 billion dollars a year by 2015. This is NEWS Plus Special English. Tesla Motors in the United States and Chinese state-owned phone carrier have announced plans to build 400 charging stations for electric vehicles in a new bid to promote popular adoption of the technology in China. Under the plan, China Unicom provides locations and basic services for the stations in 120 Chinese cities, while Tesla operates the stations. The two companies will also build 20 "supercharger stations" in some of these cities to offer high-speed charging. Promoters of electric vehicles see China as a promising market thanks to Beijing's support for the technology to reduce smog. But the lack of charging infrastructure is seen as a major hurdle to winning general acceptance. Tesla delivered its first home-made electric sedans to Chinese customers in April and planned to invest several hundred million dollars to build a charging network in China. China has around 78,000 electric vehicles on the road, mostly public buses and taxies. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mike Fox in Beijing. Google's secretive research laboratory is trying to build a fleet of drones designed to bypass earthbound traffic so packages can be delivered to people more quickly. The ambitious program escalates Google's technological arms race with rival Amazon.com, which is also experimenting self-flying vehicles to carry merchandise bought by customers from its online stores. Google calls its foray into drones "Project Wing". Although Google expects it to take several more years before its fleet of drones is fully operational, the company says test flights in Australia delivered a first aid kit, candy bars, dog treats and water to two farmers after traveling a distance of roughly one kilometer a few weeks ago. The video of the test flight can be seen on YouTube. Besides perfecting their aerial technology, Google and Amazon still need to gain government approval to fly commercial drones in many countries, including their home country, the United States. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration currently allows hobbyists and model aircraft makers to fly drones, but commercial use is mostly banned. This is NEWS Plus Special English. With the holiday shopping season approaching, Samsung and LG unveiled small improvements to their computerized wristwatches to sway customers. Samsung's latest version can do more without a smartphone to go with it, while LG's has a round screen. Samsung's new Gear S can receive notifications directly from social networks, calendars and other apps. It can also make and receive phone calls. Samsung has also unveiled a headset called Gear Circle. Both products will be available starting in October.

Motorola is also expected to come out with a round-face smartwatch soon. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mike Fox in Beijing. An experimental Ebola drug has healed all 18 monkeys infected with the deadly virus in a study. The move boosted hopes that, once more of it can be made, the treatment might help fight the outbreak raging through West Africa. The monkeys were given the drug, ZMapp, three to five days after they were infected with the virus and when most were showing symptoms. The drug also completely protected six other monkeys given a slightly different version of the virus three days after infection. These two studies are the first monkey tests ever done on ZMapp. Experts said it's not possible to estimate a window of opportunity for treating humans, but it was encouraging that the animals recovered even after advanced disease developed. ZMapp had never been tested in humans before two American aid workers who got Ebola while working in Africa were allowed to try it. The rest of the limited supply was given to five others. Ebola has killed more than 1,500 people this year and the World Health Organization says there could be as many as 20,000 cases before the outbreak is brought under control. A few days ago, it spread to a fifth African country - Senegal, where a university student who traveled there from Guinea was being treated.

Welcome to our weekly edition of Biz Buzz, looking at the emerging trends in the Chinese business world. On this week's show, we get perspectives on China's overseas tourism, Guangzhou attracting investment as well as brands situational equity. Selected News: Q&A: China's Overseas Tourism According to official Chinese figures, 97 million Chinese citizens went abroad on holidays last year. The Chinese Tourism Academy estimates that by 2020 there could be as many as 200 million Chinese tourists traveling abroad. The trend presents challenges to tourist industries in foreign countries, which have much to gain from Chinese tourists but do not necessarily have the cultural or linguistic means by which to truly take advantage of the market. For more about Chinese overseas tourism, Nathan Wakelin-king speaks with Dr. David Beirman, a tourism expert at the University of Technology, Sydney in Australia. ----------------------- Report: Guangzhou Attracts Investment Guangzhou, capital city of southern China's Guangdong province, has held a promotion event for its businesses. The city promoted nearly 70 projects in various areas, including transport, hospitals and commercial service to attract investment. Wang Jianlin is Chairman of Wanda Group, one of China's largest conglomerates, which has commercial property development, luxury hotels and department stores. He says Wanda has been impressed by the way that Guangzhou enterprises doing business. "Guangzhou has a strong 'spirit of deal'. We have already invested in six projects, with a total investment of 50 million yuan." Wang Jianlin adds that Wanda Group will start to build a huge indoor ski resort in Guangzhou this June, and some of Wanda's financial services will begin operating in the city as well. In addition to attracting domestic investors, Guangzhou has also grabbed the attention of many foreign investors. LG Display from South Korea has been doing business in Guangzhou for seven years. LG's Guangzhou general manager, Cui Zaiyi, elaborates on the reason that they invest in the Guangdong capital. "Guangzhou's city government gives us a lot of support. If we have any problems, we could ask the local government for help. The city provides very good services to enterprises." Guangzhou is also looking at the bigger picture. So far, it has had nine bilateral business committees in cities including Johannesburg, South Africa, Moscow, Russia and Vancouver, Canada. The city plans to promote itself more widely and effectively both home and abroad. -------------------------- Q&A: Brands Situational Equity Now let's talk about how brands can do better. Situational equity is a concept introduced first and only by TNS, which advises worldwide clients on specific growth strategies. Situational equity is the measure of a brand's power in the mind in particular contexts, rises and falls. It is used to analyze the bigger fluctuations that consuming markets might see. Keeping this in mind may help marketers make the right decisions in different contexts. For more, Luo Yu speaks with Rosie Hawkins, Global Head of Brand & Communications, TNS China, leading custom market research agency in China. Rosie wrote an article about situational equity and how it may influence Chinese consumer markets. And that's all we have time for on Biz Buzz this episode. Remember you can get in touch with us with any questions or comments at newsplus@cri.com.cn or visit our website newsplusradio.cn. Biz Buzz is aired every Saturday on FM91.5 and AM846 in Beijing and other overseas stations. For program producer Chen Mo, I'm Wu You, thank you for listening.

Institutional Factors Matter: Perspectives on China's Outward Direct Investment

Chinese Economy

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 14, 2012


In the past three decades, China has transformed itself from a central-planned, agricultural economy to the world’s manufacturing base and growth engine. Expanding at an average annual rate of more than 10 percent, the Chinese economy is now the second-largest in the world. Globalization is undoubtedly one of the most important drivers behind this extraordinary growth. Globalization is not a one-way process. As Chinese businesses grow and mature, they are increasingly turning to outward direct investment (ODI) to diversify their product portfolios, take advantage of cheaper labor in foreign countries, and claim reliable sources of raw materials. In recent years, several instances of Chinese outward direct investment received wide media attention. Among them were Lenovo Group’s purchase of IBM’s personal computer division in 2005 and Wanda Group’s acquisition of AMC Entertainment in 2012. However, acquisitions of assets by state-owned enterprises in natural resource-rich countries—especially African countries—have stirred the most concern. Still, despite the hype, Chinese outward direct investment remains small in relative size. In 2011, China’s ODI stock was 1.7 percent of the world’s total, or 5.2 percent of the nation’s GDP. When measured by direct investment, China is much less globalized than when measured by international trade. Is China’s relatively low outward direct investment level justified by economic fundamentals? What are the determinants of Chinese ODI? This paper uses country-level data to analyze the patterns of these investments.
