Abe acts tough on China - Media Watch - December 19 - BONTV Posted: 19 Dec 2012 08:11 PM PST Abe acts tough on China - Media Watch - December 19 - BONTV Shinzo Abe, Japan's next prime minister, repeated his hawkish campaign rhetoric on Monday in what some observers called a performance that played to the gallery. There was "no room for talks" on territorial disputes with China, Abe said at a news conference after his Liberal Democratic Party won a landslide victory in Sunday's general election. But, in an acknowledgement of how important China ties are, he also expressed his wish to improve relations. Beijing urged Tokyo on Monday to mend relations damaged by tension over the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea. Observers said Abe's tough words were just for show after the LDP secured a commanding majority - nearly 300 seats in the 480-member lower house. Abe, the LDP chief, will become the next prime minister at a special session of the Diet, Japan's legislature, on Dec 26. Relations with China are important and Abe said he hoped to improve them, though he ruled out visiting Beijing at this time. Asked if he will visit Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Japan's war criminals, Abe said under the current diplomatic situation it is inappropriate to give a clear answer to that question. He insisted the Diaoyu Islands were "Japan's inherent territory" and that there was "no room for talks" over their sovereignty. The news conference was broadcast live in China. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman HuaChunying said on Monday that Beijing values ties and that the onus is on Tokyo to improve relations. During the campaign, Abe vowed to <b>...</b> From: bontvchina Views: 1 0 ratings Time: 02:05 More in News & Politics

Rules relaxed for firms to list in HK - Biz Wire - December 19 - BONTV Posted: 19 Dec 2012 08:07 PM PST Rules relaxed for firms to list in HK - Biz Wire - December 19 - BONTV Go to www.bon.tv to watch the full episode Follow us on Weibo weibo.com or Twitter.com/ChinaBizWire Mainland China's securities regulator, who, in an effort to ease fundraising pressure on the domestic market, plans to encourage more companies to float shares in Hong Kong by lowering the current profit requirements. The China Securities Regulatory Commission, has been struggling to support the weak mainland share market, and is expected to fast-track approvals for firms looking to launch initial public offerings in Hong Kong. The regulator suspended domestic market offerings in early October. At present, 800 listing hopefuls are lined up and investors, wary of a flood of new shares, are reluctant to buy equities despite the market's relatively cheap valuation. Previously, mainland Chinese companies could not seek share offerings in Hong Kong unless they got prior approval from the CSRC. To ensure some measure or appearance of quality control, the CSRC sets a higher threshold for mainland firms looking to list in Hong Kong than for domestic share issues. The Hong Kong exchange requires a listing applicant to post a combined net profit of no less than around 6 million dollars cumulatively over the past three years. But the CSRC won't approve any company to list in Hong Kong unless it has earnings of at least 10 million dollars in the past year alone. While the CSRC will lower its own standard in the preliminary reviews, it is unclear if Beijing will follow suit, according <b>...</b> From: bontvchina Views: 1 0 ratings Time: 01:59 More in News & Politics

State media hasn't confirmed Ri to be pregnant. Earlier this fall Ri failed to appear in public for over a month.
