BEIJING, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Stocks on ChiNext, the country's Nasdaq-style board for domestic start-up firms, rode on a roller coaster on the first two trading days: soaring at debut and taking a sudden turn on the second day.     Twenty stocks out of the total 28 fell by the daily limit of 10percent at Monday close, compared with an average of 106.23 percent surge on Friday, the first trading day, driven by a speculative surge for quick profits.     About 252,600 individual investors bought 423 million new shares at ChiNext on Friday, accounting for more than 97 percent of all new shares on the market.     The average price-earnings ratio for the initial public offering prices was at around 55.70 times, and then was pushed up to around 111 times, much higher than 25.98 times and 37.80 times at main boards in Shanghai and Shenzhen bourses respectively.     The bubbly opening led to warnings of risks posed by excessive speculation and inflated stock price.     Jin Yanshi, chief economist with the Sinolink Securities, said the price-earnings ratio was too high driven by the irrational buying spree. He said the frenzy would gradually cool off, and he expected a 30 percent to 50 percent drop of share prices in three to six months.     Analysts said it was typical in China that new shares would face speculation at debut and see large initial gains, followed by a continuous pullback.     China State Construction Engineering Group shares soared more than 60 percent at debut in Shanghai on July 29 from a initial public offering price of 4.18 yuan and ended at 6.53 yuan, up 56.22 percent. On Monday, its close price stood at 4.79 yuan.     It also reminded of the launch of board for small and medium-sized enterprises at Shenzhen Stock Exchange market on June25, 2004, when shares of eight new stocks rose more than 130 percent. The share prices fell by an accumulative 40 percent from the close prices on the first trading day three months later.     China made plans to launch the Nasdaq-style board for trading of start-up shares in 1999 to boost development of small and medium-sized enterprises. The plan was postponed in 2001 when the Internet bubble burst in the United States.     Since 1962, a total of 39 nations or regions have launched 75 such boards for start-up companies to raise funds. However, about half of them ended up closing due to weak market sentiment and regulatory inconsistencies, and 41 markets were operational as of the end of 2007.     The Growth Enterprise Market, kicked in Hong Kong in 1999, was a luck luster as investors were scared away by the plunge in value of technology stocks in 2001. The index fell about 90 percent since then.     By contrast, Nasdaq set up in the United States in 1971 has been a successful one, which attracted giants like Microsoft and Intel, and became the major market for overseas listing of Chinese enterprises. There are currently 116 Chinese companies listed on Nasdaq, including Baidu.     Analysts attributed the main reasons for failure of some markets to blindly lowering threshold of market entry, poor supervision and inactive transaction.     The wild fluctuation challenged the ability of regulators to control volatility in the new bourse and stirred concerns whether it would grow to be a second Nasdaq or the dazzling debut would be the last wild ride.     Shang Fulin, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission said on Oct. 23 that trading on the new board may have a probability of becoming "irrational" than on other bourses.     "Preventing risk is our main task," he said. "We'll make sure risk is estimated, detected and controlled."     The Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued special suspension rules to clamp down on speculation. Trading would be suspended for 30 minutes if share price rises or falls by 20 percent from its debut level. If a stock fluctuates again beyond 50 percent of its opening price, it will be suspended for 30 minutes. The stock can also suspend a stock until three minutes before the close of trading session on a rise or drop above 80 percent.     Zuo Xiaolei, chief economist of the China Galaxy Securities, said the lesson from failure of other markets showed the key to the success of such start-up board was to strengthen supervision while completing rules, which would ward off excessive speculation and rule violations.     The government should develop more policies to attract more firms with great potential growth to make the board bigger and stronger, but threshold for access to the market should not be lowered, analysts said.

BEIJING, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Sino-U.S. ties have been warmed up for U.S. President Barack Obama's upcoming China visit by frequent contacts between high-level officials from both sides, Chinese experts said Thursday.     The 20th meeting of China-U.S. Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) was officially convened on Thursday morning in China's eastern city of Hangzhou.     This year's JCCT talks, highlighted by U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, were widely seen as part of preparations for the presidential summit next month.     "Today's JCCT meeting laid a solid groundwork and made full preparations for President Obama's visit in two weeks, which will help build the positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-U.S. relations toward the 21st century," China's Minister of Commerce Chen Deming said at the end of talks.     In the meantime, Xu Caihou, vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission, was paying his first visit to the United States under the Obama administration.     During his talks with U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Xu and Gates explored ways to further military-to-military cooperation and reached agreement on seven points, which included Gates' visit to China in 2010 and mutual visits of warships.     The agreement on conducting joint maritime searches and rescue exercises has already had the embryonic form of crisis management mechanism, said Ding Xinghao, president of the Shanghai Association of American Studies.     During the 11-day visit, the Chinese general was also invited to visit some sensitive military sites, including the Strategic Command Headquarter, which was in charge of nuclear weapons and cyber war.     Xu's visits to the sensitive military sites showed the U.S. military's willingness to promote mutual trust with the Chinese military, said Fu Mengzi, a researcher with the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations.     Since the Obama administration took office, Sino-U.S. relations have witnessed a smooth transition and maintained a good momentum of development.     In June 2009, the defense ministries of China and the United States held the 10th defense consultation. In July, the two countries held their first round strategic and economic dialogue. In August, the two militaries held the maritime military security consultation.     In addition, Obama issued a "presidential determination" On Sept. 29 that shifted authority for approving sales to China of missile and space technology from the White House to the Commerce Department, a move viewed by experts as Washington's delivery of goodwill to Beijing.     It was also noteworthy that U.S. Deputy Secretary of State James B. Steinberg proposed a new term to describe U.S.-China relations in his keynote address entitled "Administration's Vision of the U.S.-China Relationship" at the Center for a New American Security in Washington on Sept. 24.     "Strategic reassurance", as Steinberg noted, means that "just as we and our allies must make clear that we are prepared to welcome China's 'arrival'...China must reassure the rest of the world that its development and growing global role will not come at the expense of security and well-being of others."     This term captured the crux of Sino-U.S. ties, said Niu Xinchun, vice director of the Center for American Studies at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations. "It is aimed at realizing the strategic mutual trust between the two countries."     The foundation for the sustained and stable development of bilateral ties lies in mutual trust, he said, but trade frictions between the two nations show that mutual trust still needs to be strengthened.     Obama announced in September to impose 35 percent punitive tariffs on all car and light truck tires from China for three years.     Just on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced preliminary determination that intended to impose a tariff up to 12 percent on the steel grafting and steel strand imported from China, valued 269 million U.S. dollars.     In addition, China and the United States still have differences on some issues concerning China's core interests, such as U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and Tibet-related issues.     Although both sides have the willingness to enhance mutual trust, it is still difficult for them to fulfill the goal, said Fu Mengzi, adding it needs sustained efforts from both sides.     "Sino-U.S. relations are now standing at a new historical starting point," said Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan at the opening ceremony of the 20th JCCT meeting. "President Obama's first China visit will surely provide new opportunities for bilateral cooperation."

TAICHUNG, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- Letting in more mainland investors again hit the agenda in Taiwan as negotiators from two sides discussed mainland investment with local business people Wednesday.     At the symposium, Chen Yunlin, president of the mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS), suggested Taiwan should not be "afraid" of competitors. When the mainland began to open up, the enterprises and industries also worried that they would be beaten by overseas competitors, but 30 years after, they not only survived but also became stronger, Chen said. Chen Yunlin, president of the Chinese mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS), speaks on a symposium on the investment of Chinese mainland to Taiwan, in Taichung of southeast China's Taiwan, Dec. 23, 2009.     "High liquidity of capital, people, resources and knowledge across the Taiwan Strait will bring prosperity to both sides," he said. "The mainland's advantage in manufacturing and Taiwan's leading marketing will supplement each other. Thus, the two can form a bigger economic entity in face of global competition."     Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) Chairman Chiang Pin-kun echoed Chen's remarks. Chen Yunlin, president of the Chinese mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS), shakes hands with Chairman of Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) Chiang Pin-kung on a symposium on the investment of Chinese mainland to Taiwan, in Taichung of southeast China's Taiwan, Dec. 23, 2009.  "(The mainland's) investment will bring more employment and boost economic growth, which will benefit both sides," Chiang said.     He admitted that not many mainland investors had entered Taiwan since the island lifted the ban in June, mainly because only a limited number of sectors were opened to them.     Another reason was that mainland investors were not yet familiar with the local market and business practice, Chiang said.     By the end of November, the Taiwan authorities approved 15 investment plans from the mainland, totalling 5.82 million U.S. dollars.     "I hope the policies can be clearer, the procedures simpler and more sectors are opened to us," said Wang Jing, president of the Newland Group, a Fujian-based IT firm with a project in Taiwan.     Currently, mainland investment can go to the sectors of textile, car making, home appliance, retailing and wholesale of consumer products, air and shipping service and infrastructure for public use (not including construction contractors).     Mainland companies have to get approval from Taiwan authorities under strict regulations and the conditions are also restrictive in those accessible sectors, Wang said. "The restrictions will prevent mainland companies from enjoying fair competition."     She cited the complicated procedure that mainland businessmen had to undergo to travel to Taiwan.     "We have invested in an IT firm in Taiwan. Research work requires cooperation between staff on both sides and they have to travel a lot across the Strait. When there is an emergency, our mainland staff always could not go to Taiwan promptly," she said. "In a world of tough competition, we should not sacrifice efficiency."     Many mainland companies are interested in real estate development, finance and telecommunication that are still not on the list.     Long Ge, vice president of Shanghai Xiandai Architectural Design Group, just finished a business tour in Taiwan.     "We hope to set up an office in Taiwan in near future," Long said.     His company hoped to launch real estate businesses, not only design but also construction and marketing, in Taiwan. "But we cannot if the restrictions remain there," he said.

BEIJING, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao brought hope and confidence to the world in its fight against climate change by attending the summit of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said Saturday.Yang, who had accompanied Wen during his visit on Thursday and Friday, said climate change profoundly affected mankind's existence and development, imposed a critical challenge to the world, and should be tackled by all countries jointly.     The Copenhagen conference was an important opportunity to boost international cooperation in combating climate change, Yang said.     Under the joint efforts of all parties, the conference yielded significant and positive fruits in three aspects, he said.     First, it firmly upheld the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" set by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol.     Second, it made a solid step forward in promoting developed countries' binding emissions cuts and developing countries' voluntary mitigation actions.     Third, it produced important consensus on the key issues of long-term global emissions cut targets, funding and technology support to developing countries, and transparency.     Yang said Premier Wen's attendance at the summit showed the Chinese government took a highly responsible attitude toward the Chinese people, all peoples in the world and mankind's future.     Over the last two days, Wen delivered an important speech to the summit, kept close contact with many parties, communicated and coordinated with them, overcame various difficulties, and guided action according to situation. He adopted a principled but flexible attitude, broke his back to move the climate talks forward on the right track, and played a pivotal role in the climate talks.     Wen's attendance contributed to the global fight against climate change mainly in three fields, Yang said.     FIRST, ABIDING BY PRINCIPLES, MAINTAINING A FOUNDATION FOR COOPERATION     Yang said developing and developed countries were very different in their historical emissions responsibilities and current emissions levels, and in their basic national characteristics and development stages, therefore they should shoulder different responsibilities and obligations in fighting climate change.     According to Yang, Wen told the conference the international community must adhere to the following four principles to combat climate change.     First, maintaining the consistency of outcomes:     The outcome of this conference must stick to rather than obscure the basic principles enshrined in the Convention and the Protocol. It must follow rather than deviate from the mandate of the "Bali Roadmap." It should lock up rather than deny the consensus and progress already achieved in the negotiations.     Second, upholding the fairness of rules:     The principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" represents the core and bedrock of international cooperation on climate change and it must never be compromised. Developed countries must take the lead in making deep quantified emission cuts and provide financial and technological support to developing countries. Developing countries should, with the financial and technological support of developed countries, do what they can to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change in the light of their national conditions.     Third, paying attention to the practicality of the targets:     In tackling climate change, the world needed to take a long-term perspective, but more importantly, focus on the present. It was important to focus on achieving near-term and mid-term reduction targets, honoring the commitments already made and taking real action. One action was more useful than a dozen programs. The conference should give people hope by taking credible actions.     Fourth, ensure the effectiveness of institutions and mechanisms:     The international community should make concrete and effective institutional arrangements under the Convention to have developed countries honor their commitments, provide sustained and sufficient financial support to developing countries, speed up the transfer of climate-friendly technologies and effectively help developing countries strengthen their capacity in combating climate change.     Yang said Wen's propositions reflected developing countries' common stance. The propositions were reasonable and lawful, based on the present, faced the future, addressed all parties' interests, pointed out the direction for the climate conference when it was at the crossroads, effectively kept and boosted the talks, and won wide support and praise.

BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- A report on the building of rural social security system was submitted Thursday to the ongoing session of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature, for deliberation.     Sun Wensheng, vice chairman of the NPC Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, said steady progress had been made in the development of rural social security system when delivering the report at the session of the NPC Standing Committee.     A total of 833 million rural residents, or 94 percent of the rural population, have joined the rural cooperative medical care system, up 2.5 percentage points from the beginning of this year, according to the report.     The rural cooperative medical care system, a government initiative implemented in 2005 that intended to make health services more affordable for the rural poor, had alleviated illness-caused poverty among farmers, it said.     The report said 320 counties, or 11.6 percent of the country's total, had been or would be approved to try a new rural social pension insurance system, which would benefit more than 15 million rural residents.     Under the pension system, senior rural residents will receive a monthly ole-age pension of varying amounts, which will be set by government according to the local income standards.     However, some local governments were financially challenged to implement the rural social security programs and only a relatively small percentage of migrant farmer workers were covered, Sun said.     The report was the result of a nearly four-month investigation conducted by the NPC Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee.     Initiated in September, the investigation covered 17 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.
