Free AccessChina Press Digest: Monday, August 14
BEIJING (MNI) - The following are highlights from the China press for
Monday, August 14:
U.S. officials confirmed Saturday that the U.S. will announce Monday an
investigation into China's trade practices on intellectual property rights,
according to both Chinese and American media sources. Reuters and Politico cited
U.S. officials saying in a conference call that the decision was not related to
the North Korea problem. On the Chinese side, the Securities Daily reported
Monday that the U.S. would negotiate with China to reduce trade barriers imposed
on the U.S. imports or seek compensation, Section 301 of U.S. trade law, which
would allow the U.S. to impose unilateral trade sanctions. Bai Ming, vice
chairman of international market research department under the Chinese Academy
of International Trade and Economic Cooperation at the Ministry of Commerce told
the Securities Daily the U.S. is very likely to try to demonstrate its
deterrence but would also balance the benefits and disadvantages of its trade
action because the U.S. does not want to "give up on the Chinese market which is
growing continuously." He also expects the U.S. will change its attitude
frequently during the process.
The People's Bank of China aims to tighten controls on negotiable
certificates of deposit (NCDs), the issuance of which has skyrocketed in recent
years, in order to rein in financial risks, Economic Information Daily reported
Monday. The central bank announced Friday that it would include NCDs with
durations of less than one year issued by banks with assets of more than CNY500
million in its quarterly macro-prudential assessment of banks' operating
conditions. The newspaper's front-page report cited Xu Chengyuan, chief analyst
at China Orient Asset Management Co. Ltd, as saying the fact that the PBOC would
add these NCDs to its MPA from the first quarter of 2018 leaves "buffer time"
for the 35 banks whose NCDs fall within the PBOC examination criteria to adjust
and so would avoid major fluctuation in the market. Xu also noted the measure is
only the first step in tightening supervision of NCDs, with financial regulators
continuing to create and implement new policies based on market developments.

The yuan rose significantly last week and will continue its "two-way
fluctuation" as depreciation expectations continue to fade, the Securities Daily
reported Monday. Li Huiyong, chief analyst of Shenwan Hongyuan Securities, told
the newspaper Sunday the CFETS index has risen to 93.8 as of Thursday, higher
than the year-to-date average level. Li said the U.S. dollar still has room to
appreciate given the U.S. economy is expected to report robust growth. China's
economic growth is stable, and with the new counter-cyclical factor added to the
People's Bank of China's calculation of the daily yuan parity, the yuan would
continue to show "two-way" fluctuation, the newspaper said. (Securities Daily)
China needs to speed up formation of a sustainable system for developing
the property market, the People's Daily reported Monday. Such a system is
essential for the stable transformation of the country's economy, the newspaper
said, noting that the last financial crisis were caused by a bursting of a
property market bubble. With a high proportion of housing sales due to
speculation, high housing inventories and high leverage ratios, the current
situation requires China to continue to rein in surging housing prices and
tackle potential risks. (People's Daily)
Financial News, a newspaper run by the People's Bank of China, stressed
Monday the need to maintain stability while China takes measures in managing the
rising level of local government debt. Participants in the market widely support
the strengthening of controls on local debt levels, but the process needs to
maintain stability as it is the main theme of financial regulation in the
country now, the newspaper said in a front-page report. China faces pressure
from an economic slowdown and local governments are facing difficulties
maintaining the high fiscal income levels needed for debt service as their
economic growth inevitably ends its "abnormal growth period." (Financial News)
