China's Wen Calls for Political Reform

China's Prime Minister Wen Jiabao says that it needs to makes changes to political system to make sure that its economic growth will be able to continue., state media reported.

"We not only have to push forward reform of the economic system, but we also have to push forward reform of the political system," Wen said to Xinhua state news agency when he was in the “boomtown” Shenzhen.

"If there is no guarantee of reform of the political system, then results obtained from the reform of the economic system may be lost and the goal of modernisation cannot be achieved," he said.

Wen also said that he must to protect peoples rights.

"We must resolve the problem of excessive concentration of power, create conditions that allow people to criticise and supervise the government and firmly punish corruption," he stated.

Some people think he means that there is too much corruption in China right now. They think that he is a good leader and helps ordinary people.

He was famous when he went to Tienemen Square in 1989 when the people protested against the government, but the army attacked them and stop them. Then in 2003, he became prime minister of China.

In my opionion I think that the economic is growing well and the combined of the two countries. The two good leaders will protect the poeple from protesting. They will also help people by giving them occupation.

Wen Jiabao Puts Political Reform on China's Agenda

Chinese prime minister, Wen Jiabao, was in Shenzhen recently. He said that China wants "political reform" and less powers for the Communist party. He said, "If there is no guarantee of reform of the political system, then results obtained from the reform of the economic system may be lost, and the goal of modernisation cannot be achieved.

What does he mean? China is usually very strict and conservative, so this is surprising statement. However, he has said same things before but nothing changed.

"Did Wen go off message?" (Wall Street Journal - this means did Wen say some things that he should not say?) The Economist magazine said it does not believe him. However, we can see that some people think that China should change politics system a little for to protect the economy.

For sure, there is "new generation of reformers" in some state-controlled media, but some of them do not agree. What will happen next? Watch this space!

In my view I think that China should change a little. Due to world in nowadays had changed so much. On the other hand they also should keep their own politics tho manage their country as well.

Coca-Cola, the world's biggest beverage company, says it is integrating sustainability and green production into every aspect of its business operations to realize sustainable development in China.

At a time when the world is focusing on low-carbon lifestyles and environmental protection, China's experts Had find a standard and strategy to development recently gathered at the company's Green Building located inside its headquarters in Shanghai to discuss the environmental impact of China's rapid economic development and the role of business in sustainable development.

The experts pointed out that sustainable development will be a central theme throughout China's 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15), and that the concept of sustainable developments extends to business and throughout every aspect of society.

Consumer Confidence Strong in China

According to consultancy firm McKinsey & Co, the survey has shown that Chinese consumers are strongly confident with their economic potential after the slower growth of gross domestic product in the second quarter of the year.
The survey of nearly 15,000 consumers in 49 Chinese cities shown that this slowing down of GDP growth has very little impact on consumer confidence. As China’s GDP growth slowed from 11.9 percent in the first three months of the year to 10.3 percent in the second quarter.

Moreover, rich customers, which are 24 percent of the consumers, are more aware of their spending than the rest which made almost no change in their spending.

The survey also said that China’s domestic consumption is believed to increase by 11 percent every year and will counting for 42 percent of the GDP by 2020.

But due to more shopping malls and luxury outlets opening up, we will not see a quick jump of domestic consumption. As only one percent of the Chinese would buy luxury goods and new shops and facilities will only cater to them. Therefore the balance of demand would be a little by little process.

In my opinion, the economy of China is growing up more and more. So, people in China be confident with their product that made in their country. Therefore the demand will balance that make economy well.

Many houses in Tonghua did not have water for two days because of the floods.Over 300 workers were move to fix the pipes.

So, the residents help by sent fire trucks to deliver water for domestic purposes aside from drinking to residential communities in the city.

Storms in Jilin have killed or left missing more than 100 people in the past few days. About 1,000 people have been killed this year in floods which have devastated some areas, mostly in central and southern China.Weather forecast predict that the heavy rain are rained until the end of the week.
