Close to 160 sister city links exist between New Zealand and the rest of the world - and more than half of those links are with Asia. So what exactly is a sister city and how do these relationships work? The AMC takes a look. And tourism analyst Gary Bowerman joins us for a look at how countries across Asia are battling with the risks and logistics around developing their own post-Covid travel bubbles. We've got the normal roundup of news and interesting stories from across the region too, so sit back and enjoy!

Sister cities have a strong history in New Zealand that is celebrated to this day – just last week, the organisation Sister Cities New Zealand hosted its 40th annual conference. The AMC went along to learn more about New Zealand's growing links with overseas. ________________________________ 1 George Bignell From: Peter Hoflich <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 7 July 2020 2:25 PM To: s9(2)(a) Subject: [Possible spam] Reopening of Australia's Economy has Varying Impact Across Corporate Sectors <http://cdn.roxhillmedia.com/production/email/attachment/810001_820000/Fitch%20Ratings%20logo.png> Reopening of Australia's Economy has Varying Impact Across Corporate Sectors Mon 06 Jul, 2020 - 20:05 ET Related Fitch Ratings Content: What Investors Want to Know: Reopening Plans in Australia <http://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west- 1.awstrack.me/L0/http:%2F%2Fcdn.roxhillmedia.com%2Fproduction%2Femail%2Fattachment%2F810001 _820000%2FFitch%2520Ratings%2520logo.png/1/0102017327173271-bdafe10a-c8bb-40e8-b534- 568d816c4a2a-000000/qkDul9akTUCvOT6E0kcrRgWh-D8=169> Fitch Ratings-Sydney-06 July 2020: The reopening of Australia's economy, as social distancing measures are eased, does not have a uniform impact across corporate and infrastructure ratings, says Fitch Ratings. While the economy appears to be on a path to recovery, activity in some sectors is likely to remain subdued, and the impact on ratings is likely to be driven by the government's stimulus package. Given the circumstances, Fitch believes there is an increasing likelihood of the federal government providing further, more targeted stimulus to affected sectors beyond end-September, when measures in place are due to end. Without these stimulus measures, the economy and credit profiles of our rated issuers would be severely impacted. The Australian economy is now re-opening under a national framework set out by the National Cabinet, with removal of restrictions is occurring on a state-by-state basis. The re-openings have already benefited businesses throughout the nation, and we expect the removal of further restrictions to continue to support businesses and the economy. Fitch recently revised Australia's 2020 GDP forecast to a contraction of 2.7% from a fall of 5.0% previously, reflecting better-than-expected economic data and relative successes in virus containment. However, we do not expect a smooth recovery as some restrictions will remain, and local governments may re-impose more severe restrictions to address localised outbreaks, as we have seen following an outbreak in Melbourne in recent days. Fitch believes that activity in some sectors is likely to remain subdued and that the government will provide further stimulus to these affected sectors. In particular, we believe that sectors with exposure to infrastructure - such as homebuilders and construction and engineering companies, like Fitch-rated issuers Lendlease Corporation Limited (BBB-/Stable) and Mirvac Limited (A-/Stable) - will receive the most benefit from further fiscal stimulus. To date, the federal government has announced grants of AUD25,000 to entice new-home builds or substantial renovations. It also brought forward a further AUD1.5 billion in planned infrastructure spending, adding to the AUD7.8 billion announced in November 2019. Industry superannuation funds also announced they will invest around AUD20 billion in infrastructure and property over the next three years to aid the recovery. The tourism sector was one of the hardest hit following the lockdowns due to the restrictions on movement and closure of both state and national borders. Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (D) and Qantas Airways Limited (not rated) received limited support from the Australian government in the form of rebates and subsidies. Direct financial assistance was only given to regional airlines, including Regional Express 1 George Bignell From: The New Zealand Initiative <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 9 April 2021 1:06 PM To: Afternoons Subject: [Possible spam] Insights 11 /2021 | Stronger borders | Planning is the externality | Own it all!

  • Taiwanese Media Reform
    Journal of the British Association for Chinese Studies, Vol. 6 December 2016 ISSN 2048-0601 © British Association for Chinese Studies Taiwanese Media Reform Ming-yeh Rawnsley, University of Nottingham James Smyth, Princeton University Jonathan Sullivan, University of Nottingham Introduction Alongside a consolidated liberal democracy and dynamic civil society, Taiwan boasts one of Asia’s most liberal and competitive media environments. With cable TV and internet penetration rates among the highest in the world, and twelve 24/7 local TV news channels serving a population of 23 million, media liberalisation in Taiwan is, like democratisation, a success story. However, the pressures of intense commercial competition have created issues around professional ethics and the effects of sensationalism. Longstanding regulatory and ownership issues remain unresolved, including political partisanship across the media-sphere. Like their counterparts in other democracies, Taiwanese media companies are grappling with the transition to digital and the challenge it represents to traditional business models in a heavily media- saturated society. Mediatised political spectacles, hypermedia political campaigns and communicative abundance are inescapable features of Taiwanese life. The surface vibrancy of Taiwan’s democracy owes much to the trace data produced by the tools of this abundance: the all-news-all-the-time TV channels, politicians’ constant presence on connected devices, student activists mobilising via social media. Taiwanese citizens are by many standards engaged and politically active: they turn out to vote in large numbers, pay attention to the news and are knowledgeable about politics. Yet for all the openness that goes with trailing TV cameras and politicians’ status updates on social media, the media and political communications environments in Taiwan Journal of the British Association for Chinese Studies 67 are a cause for concern in terms of the “quality” of their contribution to Taiwanese democracy.

  • Consumer Preferences Regarding News Slant and Accuracy in News Programs
    Consumer Preferences regarding News Slant and Accuracy in News Programs Chun-Fang Chiang Hsiu-Han Shih óþÕì.Õþ Abstract We use weekly audience ratings data from dierent regions in Taiwan to in- vestigate the role of news slant and news accuracy in consumers’ choices of TV news programs in Taiwan. We nd that news programs leaning toward the Pan-Blue parties have more viewers from areas with more Pan-Blue supporters. Moreover, we nd that consumers are more politically segre- gated in choosing news programs during political events than on ordinary days. e nding cannot be explained by reverse causality and suggests that consumers are inclined to watch news programs with a political ideology that approximates their own. Regarding consumer preferences for news ac- curacy, we examine changes in viewership caused by two well-known false news scandals involving reports that provided erroneous information. We nd that the eects of these two incidents were either small or insignicant. JEL: Dì, Ló Keywords: consumer preferences, news slant, news accuracy.
