| Solid growth seen in Asia Posted: 19 Dec 2012 10:00 AM PST | www.euronews.com The World Bank has upped its forecasts for next year for China and the developing countries of East Asia - Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and Burma. The Bank's experts now expect China's economy to grow by 8.4 percent, up from an earlier projection of 8.1 percent. They also said the region remains resilient despite the weak performance of the world economy, but they warned of risks such as a sharp fall in investment growth in China which could shake global confidence. A slowdown in China's growth in recent months has prompted policymakers to announce various stimulus measures. These include two interest rate cuts since June, and the approval of infrastructure projects worth more than 113 billion euros. China's central bank, the People's Bank of China, has also lowered the amount of money that banks need to keep in reserve three times in the past few months in an attempt to boost lending. "The impact of easing credit conditions and public investment in infrastructure is beginning to show," the bank said in its report. "The impact is expected to continue to be felt into 2013, as the authorities have accelerated the approval of large projects."

| Growing Pains for Controversial Confucius Institute Posted: 21 Dec 2012 03:18 PM PST | With China's rise on the world stage, interest in the Chinese language and culture has also spiked. The Chinese regime has seized the opportunity to expand its soft power. Since 2005, these schools have been rolling out around the world. There are now around 400 Confucius Institutes in 108 countries. But this week, organizers of the institutes say they've hit a bottleneck: teacher shortage. A former professor from Shandong University says that's because the Confucius Institutes are not purely for education. Hanban, the state-backed organization that oversees the schools, has close ties with United Front Work Department. It's a Communist Party branch that garners support for the Communist Party from external groups. [Sun Wenguang, Retired Shandong University Professor] "They set up Confucius Institutes and promote Confucius to embellish the party's communist ideology. They're not always welcome overseas. As for the teacher shortage, those with real talent, aren't interested in teaching there." Confucius Institutes are set up with foreign universities and schools—usually with a handsome amount of investment. [Jin Chu, Guangxi Author] ( "The Chinese government gives a lot of cash to international schools to allow them to set up Confucius Institutes. They're trying to export communist culture. It's a part of the Party's propaganda plan." That aspect has come under close scrutiny. In March this year, this report was submitted to the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
