  • How China's Leaders Think: the Inside Story of China's Past, Current
    bindex.indd 540 3/14/11 3:26:49 PM China’s development, at least in part, is driven by patriotism and pride. The Chinese people have made great contributions to world civilization. Our commitment and determination is rooted in our historic and national pride. It’s fair to say that we have achieved some successes, [nevertheless] we should have a cautious appraisal of our accomplishments. We should never overestimate our accomplish- ments or indulge ourselves in our achievements. We need to assess ourselves objectively. [and aspire to] our next higher goal. [which is] a persistent and unremitting process. Xi Jinping Politburo Standing Committee member In the face of complex and ever-changing international and domes- tic environments, the Chinese Government promptly and decisively adjusted our macroeconomic policies and launched a comprehensive stimulus package to ensure stable and rapid economic growth. We increased government spending and public investments and imple- mented structural tax reductions. Balancing short-term and long- term strategic perspectives, we are promoting industrial restructuring and technological innovation, and using principles of reform to solve problems of development. Li Keqiang Politburo Standing Committee member I am now serving my second term in the Politburo. President Hu Jintao’s character is modest and low profile. we all have the high- est respect and admiration for him—for his leadership, perspicacity and moral convictions. Under his leadership, complex problems can all get resolved. It takes vision to avoid major conflicts in soci- ety. Income disparities, unemployment, bureaucracy and corruption could cause instability. This is the Party’s most severe test.

  • August 10, 2016 the Honorable Li Keqiang Premier Beijing People's
    August 10, 2016 The Honorable Li Keqiang Premier Beijing People’s Republic of China Respected Premier Li: Our organizations, representing a broad array of industries and companies of all sizes, are writing to express our hope that China fully embraces the goals of the upcoming G20 Leaders Meeting to promote an “innovative, invigorated, interconnected, and inclusive world economy,” by taking steps to address concerns regarding the direction of China’s information communications technology (ICT) policies. These include the draft Cybersecurity Law (“The Law”) and pending China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) Provisions on Insurance System Informatization (“The Provisions”). We appreciate that China has published drafts of The Law and The Provisions for public comment. This level of transparency is very important in drafting technical regulations of this significance. However, the current drafts, if implemented, would weaken security and separate China from the global digital economy. Specific concerns with The Law and The Provisions include: Broad data residency requirements, which have no additional security benefits, but would impede economic growth, and create barriers to entry for both foreign and Chinese companies; Trade-inhibiting security reviews and requirements for ICT products and services, which may weaken security and constitute technical barriers to trade as defined by the World Trade Organization; and Data retention and sharing, and law enforcement assistance requirements, which would weaken technical security measures

  • Renewed Concerns in Key ASEAN Economies Politics and Growth Prospects After the First COVID-19 Wave
    Renewed Concerns in Key ASEAN Economies Politics and Growth Prospects After the First COVID-19 Wave August 2020 Contents Summary of COVID-19 in Four Key ASEAN Economies 1 1. Vietnam 2 2. Malaysia 5 3. Thailand 9 4. Indonesia 13 Conclusion 16 References 17 This Special Report is authored by Associate Professor Simon Tay, Chairman, SIIA; Kevin Chen, Research Analyst; Jessica Wau, Assistant Director (ASEAN); and Sarah Loh, Research Analyst. All views expressed in this special report are those of the authors, unless otherwise credited. Introduction This Special Report by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) will examine how key Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) economies – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – are emerging after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. From June 2020, these four countries announced the end or easing of their lockdown measures and began to reopen their economies and business sectors. Their prospects matter not only to their own citizens but to the region and to Singapore as a hub, partner and investor. These four key economies represent over 70 per cent of overall ASEAN gross domestic product (GDP).1 This report will consider pre-existing economic and political challenges and how some of these have either stabilised or been sharpened and aggravated by the pandemic. The focus on the pandemic has generally meant that political developments have been muted in the first half of 2020. But as each country emerges from restrictions, political contestations and economic challenges are restarting; there are trends and risks emerging that may well move more quickly in the coming months.

    HAUT COMITÉ FRANÇAIS POUR LA RÉSILIENCE NATIONALE RAPPORT DE SYNTHÈSE SUR LE SARS-CoV-2 Partie 1 : du 24 janvier au 11 mai 2020 Date de diffusion : 1er juillet 2020 COUVERTURE FACE Note COVID-19 Partie 1 : du 24 janvier au 11 mai 2020 2 Introduction LE MOT DU DÉLÉGUÉ GÉNÉRAL e Haut Comité Français pour la Résilience Nationale a été extrêmement présent sur ce « méga choc » Lde la COVID-19. Le rôle du Haut comité en temps « normal » est d’aider, de conseiller et d’assister ses membres à optimiser la préparation de leurs structures aux événements graves et exceptionnels de par ses travaux de mises en relations, d’événementiel et de partage du savoir. Il l’est aussi dans la veille straté- gique et opérationnelle, de manière permanente. Cette période de crise a vu nos travaux profondément modifiés, car bien évidemment nous avons arrêté l’événementiel par la force des choses, mais nous avons renforcé notre service de veille, ce qui nous a permis de produire de manière quotidienne, sept jours sur sept, jusqu’à la période du confinement, des tableaux de bord quotidiens sur la situation en France et bi-hebdomadaires sur la situation dans le monde ainsi que sur le plan économique. Ces productions ont été, je sais, extrêmement utiles à de nombreuses salles de crise dans les entreprises, mais elles seront également extrêmement intéressantes pour la réalisation des retours d’expérience. En effet, un choc de cette nature impose et mérite un retour d’expérience à tous les niveaux des organisations qui ont été impactées.
