爸爸的选择CEO王胜地:保护知识产权,我们绝不妥协!2019年1月29日
12月28日,第四届“智慧新经济”论坛暨2019北京知识产权发展沙龙年会在京举行。本次沙龙以“高质量创造、高价值运用、高水准保护”为主题,众企云集,群英荟萃。爸爸的选择创始人CEO王胜地出席,发表“强化知识产权保护,净化互联网生态”的主题演讲,讲述了他眼中知识产权于企业发展的重要性,与大家分享了爸爸的选择在保护知识产权方面做出的努力。并在会后接受了人民网海外网记者的专访。打响保卫知识产权“自卫反击战”的第一枪首先介绍一下爸爸的选择,我们是一家做实体经济的企业,新国货母婴日化品牌。山东工厂占地100余亩,全部工程竣工后将成为亚洲最大的纸尿裤生产基地。可能大家会比较疑惑,今天的论坛聚焦商标专利、知识版权,我们一家做实体的为何参与其中?其实大家不知道的是,爸爸的选择在捍卫中国知识产权方面是走在前列的。国内某社交电商平台在美上市之时爸爸的选择是第一家起诉的。当时纽约时报三个专版对爸爸的选择赴美起诉进行了专题报道。我们为什么做第一个对抗企业?在电子商务生态圈,天猫、京东等企业在打假维权方面已经走了一段道路,在电商圈构建出了相对成熟的“文明”生态。这是时代的发展与进步,也是这么多年来很多小微创业者与平台方共同的努力沉淀的结果。这样的良性生态却因部分假货横行的平台破坏而变得乌烟瘴气,损害了很多品牌的利益。于是我们毅然做第一个反抗他的企业!爸爸的选择CEO王胜地接受人民网海外网记者专访正视知识产权,崛起原创力放眼中国整体经济环境,中国企业一直处于野蛮生长的状态。而中国的传统文化也一向比较包容,不管是四大发明,包括儒家文化,我们都是提倡分享与礼让的博大胸襟,像“孔融让梨”一样,对知识的态度也是开放共享。但我们在共享的同时,也一定要提高保护知识产权的意识,是对创作成果的必要的保护和尊重。这一点非常关键,只有做好保护和尊重才能鼓励创新创造的热情,让创新的风尚在全社会蔚然成风,实体产业才会以中国“智”造的面貌在原创力的支持下崛起,在国际舞台上发光。坚守商业底线,做好国产创新正值改革开放四十周年之际,全球化进入新阶段,企业竞争进入到全球价值链竞争的当今时代,这使我们更需要正视知识产权。把珍贵的智慧创造保护起来,给创业者、品牌商以信心,让他们更愿意去自主研发,自主创新。近日一条新闻称韩国2018年出口额超6000亿美元,创建记录新高。中国作为一个制造大国,对韩国的贸易逆差很大,这是为什么?正是是因为中国缺少在国际上具有核心竞争力的品牌。以我所在的日化领域为例,提起洗发水、沐浴露,海飞丝,飘柔,施华蔻等等大家耳熟能详的品牌都是国外的。中国要继续发展,靠代工是肯定行不通,关键在知识产权保护下的自主创造。我们需要更多自主研发的核心技术,让我们的研发我们的创新在世界上站得住脚,再插上品牌的翅膀,这正是中国经济腾飞的关键所在。坚守商业底线,做好国产创新,做强中国日化,世界五百强是我们矢志不渝的目标。做好知识产权保护,积极创新,一个企业才能葆有不竭核心竞争力。文章选自蛋壳财经,2018年12月30日

New Research Reveals China’s Rapidly Declining Birth Rate2019年1月24日
A child receives a vaccination shot at a hospital in Huaibei in China’s eastern Anhui province on July 26, 2018. (-/AFP/Getty Images) Negative population growth is projected to commence in China in the year 2027, according to a new paper released by the state-run Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in early January. This follows recent comments by some experts pointing out that the birth rate in China has fallen sharply, while Chinese authorities are likely reporting fake data on local birth rates. A Jan. 16 Radio Free Asia (RFA) report revealed that, since early 2016, when China abolished its one-child policy to allow couples to have two children, Shandong Province became the region with the highest number of “second children” born—contributing to roughly a quarter of the country’s total second children newborns. But the latest data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics revealed that that is no longer the case. The number of births have dropped significantly in several cities in Shandong, including Qingdao, Liaocheng, Yantai, and Dezhou. In Qingdao, for example, between January and November 2018, births fell by 21.1 percent, and the births of second children fell by 29 percent, compared with the same period in 2017. In the RFA report, Liu Kaiming, director of the Institute of Contemporary Observation research institute in Shenzhen City, southern China, said that based on various data, birth rates across China have indeed fallen drastically. “In the past, the annual births were more than 20 million. Now it is only about 15 million,” Liu said. “Even though China now allows the second child, the birth rate is still declining. Shandong is a typical example. Live births in Zibo [a city in Shandong] dropped 26 percent last year.” After decades of harshly enforcing the one-child policy, the country’s gender ratios have been significantly skewed, with roughly 115.4 boys to 100 girls, according to the World Bank. Faced with the reality of an aging population and shrinking workforce, Chinese authorities have in recent years tried to switch gears completely and instead encourage more families to have children. According to Huang Wenzheng, a senior researcher at the Chinese think tank, Center for China and Globalization(CCG), China’s birth rate is roughly 1.2 (children born per woman), so—contrary to government estimates—the turning point into negative population growth will definitely come before 2027. Yi Fuxian, a senior scientist at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, along with an economist from the National Economic Research Center of Peking University in China, Su Jian, shared similar views. In a recent article they wrote jointly, Yi and Su predicted that China has already entered negative population growth either in 2018 or will do so in 2019. Yi told RFA that the paper published by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is based on the assumption that China’s birth rate would continue to be 1.6—its current rate—or more in the following years. However, Yi believes this rate will not be sustained. Yi also added that the Chinese authorities have consistently fudged data in order to make China appear to have a stable birth rate. The 2000 census showed that China’s birth rate was 1.22, but the National Bureau of Statistics later changed it to 1.8, according to Yi. Had the Bureau not repeatedly reported false data, Yi believes the Chinese regime would have awoken to the dangers of the one-child policy earlier. “It’s time to hold them accountable,” he said. The decline in China’s birth rate is among the most drastic in the world. According to the Evergrande Research Institute of Tsinghua University, the birth rate in China fell from 6 to 1.6, compared to the United States, where it fell from 3.3 to 1.9 between 1950 to 2015, and Japan, where it fell from 3 to 1.4.

He Weiwen: China is fine, Trump should focus on America2019年1月24日
By He Weiwen, a senior research fellow at the Center for China and Globalization(CCG). U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted immediately after China’s official GDP data was released by saying: "China posts slowest economic numbers since 1990 due to trade tensions and new policies. Makes so much sense for China to finally do a Real Deal, and stop playing around!" Trump’s tweet is a real surprise as he is struggling with the federal government shutdown which is bringing down the American GDP growth by 0.1 percent every two weeks. According to the official data released by the State Statistics Bureau on Monday, China had real GDP growth of 6.6 percent in 2018, 0.2 percent lower than in 2017 (6.8 percent), still twice as fast as the U.S. (estimated at 2.9 percent). The main reason lies in the slowdown in fixed investment which grew by only 5.9 percent as compared to 7.0 percent growth in 2017. The key reason was further deleveraging, as part of the supply-side reform. M2 supply grew more slowly than GDP for the first time in many years and a strict ceiling was imposed on local government debt. Further cutting down over capacity (30 million tons of steel capacity shut down over the year) also dragged down the investment. Both are necessary for transforming China’s growth from quantity to quality. In 2019, China will accelerate consumption and infrastructure investment, with the latter alone expected to lift GDP growth rate by 0.6 percent. For 2019, China’s GDP growth rate will stay above 6.0 percent, again more than twice as fast as the U.S. The growing deterioration in world trade, caused to a large extent by Trump Administration’s unilateralism and protectionism, increased China’s economic difficulties. Nonetheless, the actual performance of China’s trade in 2018 was beyond expectation. The total trade volume in goods hit 4.62 trillion U.S. dollars, 12.6 percent over 2017, with exports up 9.9 percent and imports up 15.8 percent. Ironically, the trade tensions launched by the U.S. did not hurt China much but hurt the U.S. badly. According to Chinese customs statistics, in 2018, Chinese exports to the U.S. grew by 11.3 percent, faster than its exports to the world. Its imports from the U.S., however, grew by a meager 0.7 percent.

Victor Gao: Here’s a win-win zero-tariffs trade deal2019年1月22日
Here’s a win-win zero-tariffs trade deal that Donald Trump and Xi Jinping should shake on By Victor Gao, vice president of CCG How the United States and China deal with each other in 2019 is of vital importance, as it will have an impact not only on these two countries, but on the world as a whole. The US-China trade war, unprecedented in scale and severity, has further increased the risks to peace and development. Fortunately, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Argentina on December 1, and agreed to a three-month truce before more tariffs would be imposed on Chinese exports to the US. Towards the end of December, Trump and Xi had a pleasant phone call and exchanged New Year greetings. In early January, the Chinese and US teams met in Beijing for extensive dialogue to hash out the details and narrow the differences on trade. Although there was no joint communique after this round of working-level talks, it is expected that Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He will visit Washington before the end of January for higher-level dialogue, and that Xi and Trump will review the results of this dialogue and decide how China-US relations should proceed. The world is holding its breath for what may or may not happen. The general expectation is that, for their mutual benefit as well as global economic peace, it is better for the US and China to move on from the trade war to what matters the most: development. It is important to note that, although the trade war involves mostly tariffs and should be more accurately called the tariff war, the fundamental issue facing the US is equal, unhindered access to the Chinese market, which has become the world’s largest consumer market. To help China and the US strike a better deal, I propose a reciprocal zero-tariff agreement. Some background: In bilateral trade between the world’s two largest economies, there is a huge imbalance against the US. While the exact statistics differ between China and the US (because of the different benchmarks used), for argument’s sake, let us consider the most recent Chinese customs data. In 2018, US imports to China rose to US$155.1 billion and Chinese exports to the US to US$478.4 billion, which means that the US is running a trade deficit of US$323.3 billion (and China, a surplus of US$323.3 billion). Such a large imbalance is obviously not conducive to the constructive development of China-US relations. Yet, while Trump has emphasised the importance of balanced trade, it may not be realistic to expect an instant rebalancing, given the strong interconnectedness between the two economies. Over the past year, the Chinese and US trade delegations have largely been involved in bean counting. As important as that may be, it is high time to get a macro and fundamental perspective of bilateral trade. This is the rationale behind the reciprocal zero-tariff arrangement between China and the US, which would include the following key points. 1. Reciprocity: China and the US would impose zero tariffs on imports or exports between each other, in the amount of US imports to China. The figure would be adjusted every year, according to changes in US imports to China. So, for the past year, for example, China and the US would qualify for zero tariffs on US$155.1 billion of Chinese goods exported to the US and US$155.1 billion of US goods imported to China. 2. Tariff exemption or otherwise: A sizeable amount of Chinese exports to the US (around US$150 billion) are manufactured by US companies operating in China. The US government could use its discretion in granting tariff exemptions to these US companies or levying certain tariffs on their goods. 3. Normal tariffs or otherwise: for the remainder of Chinese exports to the US, the US could levy normal tariffs, the lowest possible tariffs, or zero tariffs. 4. Annual readjustment: As the amount of US imports to China would be used as the benchmark for the reciprocal zero-tariff agreement, the agreement would be adjusted according to the amount every year. Under this arrangement, both the US and China would be winners and there would be more balanced and sustainable trade between them. For the US, one key advantage of this arrangement is guaranteed greater access to the increasingly important Chinese market. There is no doubt that this arrangement would result in more US goods being imported to China, which would help create more jobs in the US. Initially, China could be uneasy about granting zero tariffs to all imports from the US, especially agricultural goods, but let us hope that both China and the US recognise the greater good that could be brought about by this arrangement. If this becomes a reality, both Xi and Trump should get recognition for their wisdom, vision and courage. While former US President Richard Nixon has been hailed as the leader who opened the door to China, Trump could go down in history as the one who opened up a zero-tariffs Chinese market for US goods, thanks to his repeated emphasis on reciprocity and fairer access to the Chinese market. This could be a happy, win-win arrangement for the people of China and the US, who would be able to put the trade war behind them and rededicate themselves to expanding economic engagement between China and the US for mutual benefit. There is no doubt the world will be a better and safer place with more trade, and fairer and more sustainable trade, between the two largest economies.

[China Daily]Wang Huiyao: Partnering for success2019年1月21日
By Wang Huiyao,President of the Center for China and Globalization(CCG)For Chinese enterprises, international cooperation is key to unlocking further growth opportunitiesSince their early forays abroad in the 1980s, Chinese companies have expanded across the world in many sectors and now account for 120 of the Fortune Global 500. Today, globalization remains imperative for their continued growth. However, changing circumstances at home and abroad call for new means and modalities to achieve this.The reform era has seen several phases in the internationalization of Chinese enterprises. The years from 1978 to 1990 were a preparatory stage, when Chinese companies modernized and drew lessons from abroad.The "go global" movement began in earnest in the 1990s, as Chinese companies began to venture overseas, encouraged by supportive government policies. While China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001 opened new doors for Chinese enterprises to integrate into global markets. With growing overseas investment and operations, they accumulated experience, expertise and technology, as well as deepening their understanding of international management practices.The scale and range of Chinese enterprises’ overseas activities increased after the global financial crisis. They sought new pathways to globalization, moving from exports, foreign contracted projects and labor cooperation to greenfield investments and outbound M&A to build capabilities and gain footholds in new markets. Landmark examples include TCL’s acquisition of Schneider (2002), Lenovo’s purchase of IBM’s PC business (2005) and Geely’s takeover of Volvo (2010). By 2015, the go-global movement had gained such momentum that China became a net exporter of capital for the first time.Chinese enterprises have grown up fast over the last four decades. However, the domestic and external landscape has now changed, presenting new challenges as they strive forward.At home, China is no longer the labor-abundant, low-income country that made it the factory of the world. First-tier cities increasingly resemble those in advanced economies. Wages and environmental demands have risen; cost-competitiveness and domestic growth potential have diminished. Chinese companies have no choice but to continue their quest to go global, allocating resources overseas and climbing the global value chain through upgrading and innovation.Externally, all multinationals face pushback against globalization. With rising trade tensions and protectionism, the WTO has downgraded its 2019 outlook for global trade growth to 3.7 percent. Scrutiny of foreign investment has increased. These headwinds are more pronounced for Chinese companies given the growing specter of mistrust and geopolitics in economic policy. Huawei’s recent experiences are emblematic of this.Despite their remarkable progress, therefore, many Chinese companies still face crucial tests if they are to graduate into the top class of multinationals. This includes using more international talents, adapting to different cultures, strengthening risk management and shifting from an emphasis on product globalization to brand globalization.Prospects for Chinese companies in the next 40 years will hinge on their ability to overcome these challenges. Fortunately, these issues are joined by a common thread that offers a solution: international cooperation.Conditions are ripe for this collaborative mode of globalization. The Belt and Road Initiative has set the stage and there is a growing cast of actors eager to work with Chinese enterprises.In addition to working with host countries, partnerships with third countries will be key to unlocking new growth opportunities. For example, under the China-Japan agreement on business cooperation in third-party countries signed last year, companies from both nations will be able to combine forces in regions such as Southeast Asia rather than being pitted against each other. This shift from competition to cooperation will benefit bilateral ties as well as the companies themselves.Similarly, US and European multinational corporations, with their advanced capabilities and extensive global experience, can make ideal strategic partners for Chinese companies. Companies such as GE have set up dedicated teams to pursue international cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, working with Chinese peers on EPC (engineering-procurement-construction) projects around the world. Such partnerships allow Chinese companies to create synergies, optimize resources and navigate economic and political risks. These relationships can also help young Chinese companies avoid mistakes in the process of globalization.Not all partnerships make a happy marriage, and it is vital that companies chose alliances that align complementary strengths with long-term strategy. National and multilateral agencies can help with matchmaking and facilitation, such as China International Development Cooperation Agency. Working with organizations such as the World Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank can support long-term success by helping partnerships access resources while strengthening risk management and sustainability.By nurturing international partnerships, Chinese companies can elevate themselves while also helping to shape a more inclusive model of globalization. This will boost support for transnational integration and ensure that Chinese enterprises can continue to be a vehicle for China’s reform and development over the next 40 years and beyond.About Author Dr. Wang Huiyao, founder and president of the Center for China and Globalization(CCG), an independent think tank based in Beijing.From China Daily,2019-1-18
