Want to draw global trade differently

China is seeking to re-shape globalization

Beijing : made China,biggest winners from globalization in twentieth century, which make their day"new silk roads", from same banner free exchange carrier in face America headed isolationist Donald Trump, and intend on its way to redraw trade in atheist and twentieth century.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said in November, after the election of US billionaire "will not close the door on the world, but Snusah."

He directed the new Beijing: In Davos economic conference, which will be the first Chinese head of state attended, Shi Tuesday will defend his vision, which calls for "globalization a more inclusive" and are encouraged to "put back the globalization into perspective."

The purpose of this offering Donald Trump, who has promised to abandon its free trade agreement across the Atlantic, and the establishment of tariff barriers with its neighbors and with China, which criticizes the World Trade Organization.

He commented former Secretary-General of the WTO Pascal Lamy on this proposal, saying in December last year, the European Union and China are becoming in the face of Trump "the most prominent players of global defenders of the opening up of trade (...) but it is necessary that the rhetoric matched by reforms supporting openness."

And provoke China, the first global trading power, doubts already.

The European Union and the United States accuse China of flooding the market and protectionist measures penalize imported goods and limit the ability of foreign companies to enter the Chinese market.

And recognition of the Chinese authorities took the 27 countries hold 119 in 2016 against the business practices of the Communist regime, an annual increase of 37%.

Factors influence

In fact, the second global economy shove a "new silk roads" on the Eurasian continent is an investment in Central Asia in order to stimulate regional exchanges.

China also wants to revive the Free Trade Agreement, which was collected in southeast Asia and regional powers Great.

But experts say China defends in the first place their own interests, not taking the issue of reciprocity, little interest.

In a statement to AFP, Andrew Polk, an analyst with "Medley Advisors", said the "Silk Roads" believes its markets to dispose of surplus production, especially of cement, steel and enhance its influence.

"It's also look for a hundred years, it embodies the desire to make China's Shi center of the world," after "the manifestations of humiliation" in earlier eras.

But David Kelly of the Institute "China Policy" noticed immediately. "There is a difference between the stated ambitions and the real funds" He added that Beijing "follow the diplomatic targets on the impact of the checks instead of coherent trade policy."

China also does not hesitate to use its trade retaliatory tool. The processes of import of Norwegian salmon fish fell after dissident Liu Xiaobo awarded Nobel Peace Prize.

Noted Andrew Polk on the other hand, China is a member of the WTO "has a great force to enable them to employ the multilateral tools to their advantage."

Diluted agreements

For his part, Michael Pettis, a professor at Beijing University in the report, warned that the Chinese economy fueled by heavy trade surplus, "is not consistent structurally" with the role of "leader of the world trade."

He added that the Asian giant remains "a model of planned economy": government support in various fields, the state-owned giant sets and control of capital ... which is contrary to the classical liberal thought.

And Alentihh is that Beijing can "soften" the content of commercial charters.

So it was a free trade agreement across the Atlantic requirement on the right to work and environmental standards or give companies equal opportunities in public tenders. In contrast, the free exchange of Southeast Asian Nations agreement is a "trade agreement on the old-fashioned way, very limited."

China wants pragmatism, revive its trade after falling in 2016 (minus 6.9 percent in the January-November period). Trade share fell in the gross domestic product (GDP) from 66% in 2006 to 40.7% in 2015, as the World Bank says, but it remains a key driver for growth.

Exporters suffer today from higher Chinese labor price that pay a number of manufacturing companies to move their factories to Southeast Asia and even to Ethiopia. Beijing aims to upgrade some of the largest value-added exports.

Betis but he warned that "it is unlikely that in the end the Americans withdraw from the leadership of the world leads to the coordinator of the trading system that the center of gravity moves from Washington to Beijing in it."

He concluded by saying, "We will come back rather to the situation that prevailed before the Bretton-Woods (1945) with trade disputes and political differences do not end."

Iraq, January 17, 2017 

Masoud Barzani headed to Davos in Switzerland on Monday (January 16), for a four-day visit where he is expected to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) and hold talks with global political and economic leaders.

Barzani is accompanied by the Chief of Staff to the Kurdistan Region Presidency, Fuad Hussein, and Foreign Minister Falah Mustafa, the Kurdistan Region Presidency (KRP) website reported.

Masoud Barzani, whose presidency term ended at midnight on August 20, 2015 but who continued on in the position, has attended the WEF previously in 2013 and 2014.

Barzani didn’t attend the forum in 2015, pinning the blame on his non-attendance to the fight against Islamic State (ISIS) in the country.

The forum in Davos is expected to be a four-day affair of panel discussions, lunches, and cocktail parties that delve into subjects as diverse as terrorism, artificial intelligence, and wellness.

The WEF annual meeting in Davos remains the most creative force for engaging the world's top leaders in collaborative activities to shape global, regional and industrial agendas at the beginning of each year. 

The theme of the 2017 annual meeting is "Responsive and Responsible Leadership".

Davos 2017 and the neo-liberal globalization and the challenges

 

 

   
 

 
 


1/18/2017 0:00 

Faris Al Salman * 

Davos forum was held this year for the period from 17 to 20 of this month. It is known that this forum is a meeting place for rich countries and the participation of financial and political insured Balabralah, globalization and marketed formerly free-market ideas, and unfortunately, many of the economic, political and business elites in the Third World elites have sought to ride the wave of these ideas without the knowledge or scientific awareness the risks of these policies on the social fabric and to achieve social justice and even on the economic performance of the systems of their countries.

And sadly you find a parliamentary touting these ideas without putting into consideration the reality of the political, economic, security and social state, and today we find that the developed countries that have adopted these policies , which are economies industrial and the supervisory institutions and legislation legal guarantee application and keeps the consumer has failed where these policies rights and it produced a huge debt and high unemployment rates , let alone Bdoulna which lacks such institutions, and if any, it suffers from corruption or failure of performance. 
It risks facing the global economy: the 
continuity of patterns: characterized the previous period , up a small group of people entered so that their wealth swelled horribly at the expense of rising poverty and unemployment rate, no other words characterized the previous phase varying income and this in turn did not achieve social justice and produced in turn lack deep social instability. 
Climate change: the rapid climate change has become binding challenge facing mankind in terms exacerbating crises of water, food, energy, and produces a new kind of conflicts , especially since the water crisis (according to the pace of current consumption) will reach half the world 's population by 2025, noting that 20 percent of the world 's population currently suffering from water shortages. 
Difficult to keep up with technological changes society: There has become a technology gap is expanding steadily, particularly in developing communities where you will spend on the modern techniques of jobs at a faster rate than jobs created. 
The world today is a result of the unfair policies became facing a new kind of risk , but it is possible to transform a set of economic and social risks to the local and global unrest. 
Judiciary also led to the Privacy rapid spread misinformation to make the consumer confidence decline as well as the decline in the performance of systems of quality control and quality control, and this in turn has led to a lack of trust in the political and economic elites and the spread of corruption and inefficient performance to shake confidence in the global system as a whole. The most important challenges facing the Davos forum this year:   climate change, poverty, and terrorism, and income inequality, and scarcity of natural resources, and the cost of retirement. The challenge of poverty reached alarming proportions , with more than a billion people live on less than $ 2 a day and more than 70 million children have no access to education. As well as more than a billion people are unable to read. Human are today threatened to confront the wave of destruction recession will lead to a change in the balance of international political and economic forces. And assume decision - making positions in the capitalist world full responsibility for this shift is due to the wise policies, greedy, and its quest frenzied profit - taking, far from any interest in the social and economic consequences of this. Resulted in intense competition among major nations to poor and developing country markets are far from ethics, to create a climate that is safe for world trade, at a time which is trade liberalization , the most important goal of capitalist globalization are major countries by clicking on the developing and poor countries to wrest concessions to their advantage, by paying poor nations to retreat National product protection and opening up markets to foreign products and foreign capital laws, while rigidly set conditions for aid and technology transfer to poor countries. The greed of capitalism and greed for profits in any way, the depth of the class and social intra - state conflict with each other , but to create a sense of aggression even in communities capitalist countries, and the best example of this, the growth of popular movements of the extreme right in Europe and even in the United States. Davos forum will focus this year on the following topics: 1 - Enhance global cooperation systems to update systems and redesigned in order to better manage the effects of globalization. 2 - the restoration of a sense of shared identity through a narrative positive, inspiring optimism and confidence in the future. 3 - reviving the global economy , the development of individual skills and Assembly and deployment of capital to deal with slow growth, unemployment and financing sustainable development goals. 4 - restoration of capitalism and the revival of the market by addressing the short - term thinking, and selfish behavior, and the fight against corruption to build a new agreement between business and society. 5. Preparation fourth industrial revolution and the preparation of workers and economies for the next convergence between technology and humanity. The political changes taking place in Europe and America, tend contrast to the principles that founded the Davos forum, which is globalization, pluralism and free trade. And among these changes, China 's participation strongly in Davos this year, and confirm to the political elites that it is ready to take over the leadership of the free trade in the world. * ECONOMIC head of Baghdad 's forum

From the last article, here are some interesting topics:

"Davos forum will focus this year on the following topics:

1 - Enhance global cooperation systems to update systems and redesigned in order to better manage the effects of globalization

2 - the restoration of a sense of shared identity through a narrative positive, inspiring optimism and confidence in the future. 

3 - reviving the global economy , the development of individual skills and Assembly and deployment of capital to deal with slow growth, unemployment and financing sustainable development goals

4 - restoration of capitalism and the revival of the market by addressing the short - term thinking, and selfish behavior, and the fight against corruption to buildnew agreement between business and society

5. Preparation fourth industrial revolution and the preparation of workers and economies for the next convergence between technology and humanity."

Funny how I see much of the Iraq initiatives to be reflective in these focuses. With Iraq representatives being in Davos, I can't help but imagine the line ups of Iraqi's roles in the overall scheme of global objectives.
