Executive Summary z The Chinese government has lifted approximately 400 million people out of poverty in the past 25 years through encouragement of economic development. In the first 25-year phase of development, these efforts were mainly directed at Eastern and Southern China. z The income gap has been widening as wealth grows in selected areas. As the seaboard areas accumulate ever greater wealth, China’s poor are becoming more concentrated in the west, in regions which have been traditionally difficult to access. However, as costs of operation rise on the seaboard, entrepreneurs are beginning to look to Western and Central China to invest where costs are lower, taking advantage of transport and communications infrastructure laid down in the past five years. z At least 228 million rural inhabitants are unable to obtain financial services, and the challenge of addressing this problem is firmly on the agenda of the national “San Nong” program to improve agricultural practices, the lives of the farmers, and the quality of life in the village. z The Chinese traditional culture of high savings gives the market tremendous potential amounts of deposits, but these are waiting to be mobilized by regulated financial institutions who are not engaging in small loans business to any marked degree. z Progress in the development of efficient microfinance has been slow and spotty in China over the past 20 years, relative to the kind of progress seen in India and Bangladesh, or relative to the demand in the market, so it is still early days for the MF industry: Microfinance organizations’ legal status is either unclear or prevents them from expanding their funding; most of the smaller organizations (with around 3,000 clients) were set up in the late 1990s by international agencies such as UNDP, UNICEF, etc. Many of these operations are now administered under government project offices and are independent of the original agencies. Many of these organizations have ambitions to clarify their legal status and become eligible for investment or financing. Commercial microcredit institutions, set up as limited liability companies, are able to provide credits but are unable to accept deposits, so these are reliant on replenishment through outside financing or investment on a scale that can sustain growth in this credit-hungry market. In the currently rather over-liquid conditions of China’s economy, the government and the State Administration are loath to allow local regions to register additional foreign debt. Regulatory constraints and significant barriers to entry into the small loan market mean that most existing microfinance organizations will need to transform themselves into regulated financial institutions sooner or later; such a mechanism for transformation has existed since 2006 under the China Banking Regulatory Commission. It could also well transpire that these experienced small organizations will ally themselves to work alongside banks with a regulated organization; such new partners could be banks willing to move into the countryside and into the smaller- loan market, some of the better-managed rural credit cooperatives, or the Postal Savings Bank of China. www.planetfinance.org 3 2. Country brief SUMMARY China is the oldest continuous major world civilization, with the earliest settlements dating back to about 5,000 B.C. in the Yellow River basin. The country’s early development was based on agricultural, nomadic, and hill cultures. China’s first advanced civilization began during the Shang Dynasty in 1500-1000 B.C., with the introduction of the ideographic writing system. However, the country did not unite until 200 B.C., when Emperor Ch’in Shih Huang Ti began construction of the Great Wall of China against invasions. This isolated China from other civilizations until the Anglo- Chinese War in 1839 when Western colonial influences began building trading ports in Hong Kong.1 The Confucian ideology has been predominant throughout Chinese history, preaching obedience under authority and hard work. The only official language, Mandarin, is adopted all over the country. For centuries China was seen as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences. However in the 19th and early 20th centuries, China was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. After World War II, China was unified under the Communists (led by Mao Zedong) and was brought under tight central control, closed to most outside influences. In 1978, one of Mao Zedong’s later successors, DENG Xiaoping, gradually introduced market-oriented reforms and decentralized economic decision making. China is now seen as a major player in international relations; economic controls continue to be relaxed and yet political controls remain tight. Growing disparity between rich and poor within the country threatens the most important political agenda: economic growth with social stability. 1 http://www.worldvision.org/about_us.nsf/child/aboutus_china?Open#today www.planetfinance.org 4 INDICATORS ON NATIONAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Item 1978 1990 2000 2006 Population and Employment Birth Rate (%) 18.25 21.06 14.03 12.09 Death Rate (%) 6.25 6.67 6.45 6.81 Natural Growth Rate (%) 12.00 14.39 7.58 5.28 Registered Unemployment Rate in Urban Areas (%) 5.3 2.5 3.1 4.1 National Accounting Per Capita GDP (RMB) 381 1644 7858 16084 Government Finance Proportion of Government Revenue to GDP (%) 31.1 15.7 13.5 18.4 Proportion of Government Expenditures to GDP (%) 30.8 16.5 16.0 19.2 Utilization of Foreign Capital Proportion of Foreign Direct Investments Actually Utilized to Contracted FDI (%) 52.9 65.3 34.7 Construction Value of Machinery per Laborer (RMB/person) 2467 6304 9109 Ratio of Pre-tax Profits to Gross Output Value (%) 4.4 4.6 6.2 Overall Labor Productivity (RMB/person) (in terms of value-added per employee) 15929 25741 Transportation Railway Density (km/10000 sq.km) 53.9 60.2 71.6 80.3 Highway Density (km/10000 sq.km) 927 1071 1461 3601 Domestic Trade Per Capita Retail Sales of Consumer Goods (yuan) 163 731 3097 5828 Foreign Trade Proportion of Total Value of Imports & Exports to GDP (%) 9.7 29.8 39.6 66.9 Financial Intermediation Bank Deposits as Percentage of GDP (%) 31.1 75.1 124.8 159.1 Bank Loans as Percentage of GDP (%) 50.8 94.7 100.2 106.9 Proportion of Cash Outlay to Cash Receipt in Bank (%) 101.2 101.7 100.4 100.4 Education Rate of Graduates of Senior Secondary Schools 27.3 73.2 75.1 Schools Entering Senior Secondary Schools (%) 40.9 40.6 51.2 75.7 Entering Junior Secondary Schools (%) 87.7 74.6 94.9 100.0 Rate of School-age Children Enrollment (%) 95.5 97.8 99.1 99.3 Science and Technology R&D Expenditures as Percentage of GDP (%) 0.90 1.42 Health Care Number of Certified (Assistant) Doctors per 10 000 Population (person) 10.8 15.6 16.8 15.4 Number of Hospital Beds per 10 000 Population (bed) 19.3 23.2 23.8 25.3 Beds Utilization Rate of Medical Institutions (%) 80.9 60.8 64.9 Municipal Works Percentage of Population with Access to Tap Water (%) 48.0 63.9 86.7 Percentage of City Population with Access to Gas (%) 19.1 45.4 79.1 Per Capita Public Green Areas (sq.m) 1.8 3.7 8.3 I. Economy China's economy during the last quarter century has transformed from a centrally planned system that was largely closed to international trade to a more market-oriented economy with a rapidly growing private sector, recently becoming a major player globally. The average annual GDP growth rate since the 1978 reform has been 9.8% (GDP growth rate was 11.4% in 2007 and 10.6% in the first quarter of 2008). The government’s priority this year is to both maintain a steady growth rate in order to continue creating job opportunities, while on the other hand controlling the soaring inflation (an annual rate of 7.1% in 2007 and 8.3% in the first quarter 2008). Concurrently with its high inflation rates, the value of the Chinese currency, the RMB has been skyrocketing since China revalued its currency in July 2005 moved to an exchange rate system that references a basket of currencies. Cumulative appreciation of www.planetfinance.org 5 the RMB against the US dollar since the end of the dollar peg reached 15% in January 2008 (At the time of compiling this information, the rate was hovering around RMB6.97 to USD 1). Growth in China is highly dependent on exports and export-related investment (external trade accounted for 66.9% of GDP in 2006). Since the early 1990s, China has allowed foreign investors to manufacture and sell a wide range of goods on the domestic market, and authorized the establishment of wholly foreign-owned enterprises, now the preferred form of FDI.

Early Cretaceous flora from central Jilin and northern Liaoning, northeast China. Pakleobotanlst45 : 378-388. The Early Cretaceous sediments Widely distributed in the central Jilin and northern Liaoning of Northeast China called as Shahezi Formation contain Ruffordia-Onychiopsis flora. About 100 species belonging to 50 genera are described from these strata. In this article, the authors restudied the flora and described 7 new species- fungi: unnamed fungus, Microthyncitesshahezlensls sp. nov.; ferns: Atbynum dentosum esp. nov.); Bennenitales: Nilssoniopterls lati/olia (sp. nov.), N introvenius (sp. nov.), Nilssonwptertssp. nov.?; Ginkgoales: Sphenobalera szeiana esp. nov.). Judging from the composition and characteristics of the flora, it has been considered that it may belqng to the Sibirian-Canadian province phytogeographically. The age ofthe flora should be considered as Early Cretaceous. Key-words--Ruffordia, Onychiopsis, Nilssoniopteris, Early Cretaceous (China).

  • Japanese Rule Over Rural Manchukuo: Strategies and Policies
    JAPANESE RULE OVER RURAL MANCHUKUO: STRATEGIES AND POLICIES A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY MO TIAN September 2015 DECLARATION I, Mo Tian, declare that, except where otherwise acknowledged or noted, this thesis is entirely my own work. Mo Tian iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study is the outcome of a frustrating intellectual trajectory. It started as an enquiry into the political ideology of Manchukuo, but later on switched its direction to the examination of the political institutions of Manchukuo, and finally landed on the area of Japanese rule over rural Manchukuo. On the path towards completing this thesis, I have incurred debts to many individuals and institutions. This thesis would have never been possible without their assistance and support. First, I would like to thank my family for carrying me through this PhD journey. I dedicate this thesis to my mother Huang Wei. Her unceasing love has supported me in various ways. I dedicate this thesis to my father Tian Shubin who died prematurely in 2001. He was a great father who taught me to pursue excellence and to become a man of integrity. I dedicate this thesis to my grandfather Huang Kexuan who grew up in Manchuria under the Japanese rule. In my early childhood, he strongly cultivated my genuine interest in Japan. His stories of the various aspects of the Japanese rule in Manchuria are the sources of inspiration for my work on Manchuria. My mentors and colleagues in Australia have greatly facilitated the process of my writing. The three members of my examination panel have been tremendously helpful for my thesis writing.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The construction of people’s livelihood in rural areas not only needs to meet their basic require- ments such as elders’ care, medical care, and insurance and so on, but also needs to encourage people living in rural areas and make them have confidence to earn a better live through the im- provement of self-development ability. “Insufficiency of self-development ability” and “the lack of opportunity of development” are two of the most important barricades, which interact rural “finance exclusion” as both cause and effect and exert reciprocal intensification as well. The inter- viewing result from the 1938 random samples of local citizens living in villages and towns, which belong to 5 provinces and 26 counties and cities, shows that “lack of funds” is the hugest barricade that prevents peasants improving their self-development ability. The situation is mostly caused by “non-physical finance exclusion”. To govern this situation, the diversity of rural finance require- ments and financial ecology cannot be separated and combination usage of different kinds of go- vernance tools is needed.

  • China's Banking Sector and the Attractiveness of Dim Sum Bond
    China's banking sector and the attractiveness of Dim Sum Bond Antonello Avino in collaboration with Fjorda Vacchetti and Ludovico Gerli March 2016 Abstract China's banking system has tremendously grown in recent years. `The Big Four' keep dominating the Chinese banking system as well as they are playing an important role all over the world, mentioning in the first four positions of the largest banks ranking. In spite of its expansion, the banking sector is still suffering from serious structural and administrative issues. In order to deeply figure them out, we are going to perform a meticulous analysis of the banking sector, specifying what is the financial system adopted by China, what kinds of banks operate along with the first four banks and how the regulatory system has changed over time. Also, we are going to discuss the `parallel' banking, well-known as `shadow banking', which slowed down the growth of the banking system. Even though financial consequences of the global crisis on china have been extremely smalls, it still possible to focus our attention on changes and development of Chinese structure. This country suffered few losses in the short run whereas many projects (like the stimulus plan on 2008), reorganizations and reforms were planned in order to avoid contrary effects in the long run, both for real and financial economy. Finally, we will give a brief overview of the Dim Sum bond market aimed to internationalize the renminbi currency outside Mainland China and to lower the cost of capital. I Market-oriented or bank-oriented? Economic history and empirical economic analysis showed that the corporate finance was influenced by two different models of government in the financial market: the so-called market-oriented system, and the bank-oriented system or oriented intermediation.

  • Wealth Management Products and Issuing Banks' Risk in China
    In the Shadow of Banks: Wealth Management Products and Issuing Banks’ Risk in China* Viral V. Acharya Jun “QJ” Qian Zhishu Yang New York University, and Shanghai Adv. Inst. of Finance School of Economics and Mgmt. Reserve Bank of India Shanghai Jiao Tong University Tsinghua University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] This Draft: February 10, 2017 Abstract To support China’s massive stimulus plan in response to the global financial crisis in 2008, large state-owned banks pumped huge volume of new loans into the economy and also grew more aggressive in the deposit markets. The extent of supporting the plan was different across the ‘Big Four’ banks, creating a plausibly exogenous shock in the local deposit market to small and medium-sized banks (SMBs) facing differential competition from the Big Four banks. We find that SMBs significantly increased shadow banking activities after 2008, most notably by issuing wealth management products (WMPs). The scale of issuance is greater for banks that are more constrained by on-balance sheet lending and face greater competition in the deposit market from local branches of the most rapidly expanding big bank. The WMPs impose a substantial rollover risk for issuers when they mature, as reflected by the yields on new products, the issuers’ behavior in the inter-bank market, and the adverse effect on stock prices following a credit crunch. Overall, the swift rise of shadow banking in China seems to be triggered by the stimulus plan and has contributed to the greater fragility of the banking system.
