Sitao Xu Chief Economist at Deloitte China An increasing number of countries and organizations are actively involved in the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative to promote its deep development across the globe. Now, the Initiative looks beyond the infrastructure projects, expanded to other diverse industries and sectors in destination countries. While Chinese State-owned Enterprises took lead in the Initiative at the early stage, more private and foreign-funded enterprises are taking parts. It is suggested that the B&R Initiative has driven a new chapter of Chinese outbound investments, during which the overseas investment will witness a continuous growth in value and, more importantly, quality and structure improvement. To move up the value chain, Chinese companies shall strengthen their global competitiveness and resources allocation, and enhance risk management control.

Trade is up because oil prices are up, not necessarily because of an economic breakthrough, but the messaging is part of a broader commitment to making it appear as though all is well between the two countries. Two recent developments mark a significant change in the relationship. First, CEFC China Energy walked away from a deal to acquire 14.16 percent of Rosneft’s shares. Mired in scandal, the company has come under heavy scrutiny about its international expansion at home. Qatar stepped in to buy the shares instead as Rosneft changed its corporate strategy to provide better returns for shareholders and entice Qatar.

    Reunification of Korea: Economic Consequences from an External Point of View*

    International Studies Review Vol. 6 No. 2 (October 2005): 21-33 21 Reunification of Korea: Economic Consequences from an External Point of View* EDWARD M. GRAHAM ** Korean reunification remains an uncertainty. When and if it comes, the condition of the North Korean economy is primitive compared to the economy of South Korea. Because of massive investment needs in the North, and under plausible assumptions regarding savings rates in a unified Korea, the balance of payment of a reunified Korea is likely to deteriorate significantly in the event of reunification. Foreign direct investment could ameliorate this result, and might contribute to a more rapid catch-up of the North to the South. Keywords: Korean reunification, economic effects of Korean re­ unification, balance of payments effects of Korean reunification Originally Prepared for 2005 IKUPD Forum "Korean Reunification in Korea-US Relationship," Harvard Law School, April 9, 2005.

The immediate postwar period was characterized by extreme economic disorganization and stagnation caused by the sudden separation of the Korean economy from the Japanese economic bloc, and by the partition of the country along the 38th parallel. — Undercolonial rule from 1910 to 1945, the Korean economy became Me highly dependent upon Japan for capital, technology, and management. Of the Ma total authorized capital of business establishments in Korea, the Japanese Ch owned approximately 94 percent, as of 1940.1 Japanese engineers and tech- nicians employed in manufacturing, construction, and public utilities in 1944 constituted about 80 percent of the total technical manpower in Korea. The Pri proportion of Korean engineers and technicians was particularly small in the Ha metal and chemical industries (11 to 12 percent).2 The relative number of Korean business establishments was very small in high-technology industries— about 10 percent in the metal and chemical industries and 25 percent in the Ce4' machinery industry.

    China at the Gates a New Power Audit of Eu-China Relations

    CHINA AT THE GATES A NEW POWER AUDIT OF EU-CHINA RELATIONS François Godement & Abigaël Vasselier ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values- based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: • A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over two hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Carl Bildt, Emma Bonino and Mabel van Oranje. • A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia and Warsaw. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • Developing contagious ideas that get people talking. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to carry out innovative research and policy development projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR produces original research; publishes policy reports; hosts private meetings, public debates, and “friends of ECFR” gatherings in EU capitals; and reaches out to strategic media outlets. ECFR is a registered charity funded by the Open Society Foundations and other generous foundations, individuals and corporate entities.
