(1) 世行担心产能过剩，林毅夫反对人民币升值. VOA Chinese, Nov. 10, 2009.

("林毅夫说：'这次的经济复苏是由企业增添库存和政府财政刺激推动的。但目前问题
的症结是产能过剩。许多国家都存在这个问题。根据世界银行的预测，既使全球经济复
苏的道路能够持续走下去，这个过剩问题在2013年之前是不会消失的。'”)

My comment:
(a) University of Hong Kong made the announcement of the talk in its

Weekly Notice (06 Nov 2009)
http://www.hku.hk/hkumedia/

The pertinent portion about the talk is as follows.

"Professor Justin Yifu Lin speaks on 'Shifting Paradigms on Both Sides of
the Global Economic Imbalance'
Professor Justin Yifu Lin, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the
World Bank, will give a lecture on 'Shifting Paradigms on Both Sides of the
Global Economic Imbalance' at HKU. Professor Lin is the guest speaker of the
'Edward K Y Chen Distinguished Lecture Series 2009' held by the HKU School
of Economic and Finance. In the lecture, he will address the problem of
global economic imbalances, in particular that between US and China,
resulting from the global financial crisis and look into the prospects of
structural reforms in both countries.

(b) The only report other than Voice of America is

Alex Frangos and Bob Davis, World Bank Officer Opposes Yuan Rise. Wall
Street Journal, Nov. 10, 2009.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125778181310838787.html

The WSJ report does not mention a word about excessive capacity, particularly
in China. I'd like to know how to deal with the topic.

My comment: This is the first time a US president describes China as
competitor, to my knowledge. Presidential candidate george W. Bush kept
calling China a "strategic competitor" during the 2000 campaign but stopped
using the epithet after the election. The interview with Reuters is reported
by Reuters itself:

Simon Denyer and Caren Bohan, Obama: strains unless US,China balance growth.
Reuters, Nov. 9, 2009.
http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN09283920
("I see China as a vital partner, as well as a competitor")

The following is a photograph of Pres. Obama with Reuters Washington Bureau
Chief Simon Denyer after an interview in the Oval Office at the White House.

(3) “中国欲领导打击海盗工作.” BBC Chinese, Nov. 10, 2009.

Quote:

"港轮逃脱

"在中国提出希望主导打击海盗工作之际，欧盟海军透露了香港注册油轮“BW狮”号险
遭索马里海盗攻击的详情。

"这次袭击发生在距离索马里海岸1000海里（1850公里）、塞舌尔群岛400海里（741公
里）的印度洋海域。欧盟形容这是海盗们前所未有的远距离袭击。

"袭击事件发生在星期一。海盗搭乘两艘快艇追截悬挂香港特区区旗的“BW狮”号，并
向油轮发射火箭炮。

"海盗据信利用了'母船'把快艇运到海上，从而发动攻击。欧盟海军表示，船长马上加
速航行逃离现场，成功避过了炮火。目前没有接到船上人员伤亡的报告。

My comment; If China cannot keep its own ships--and those of Hong Kong--out
of Harm's way, its claim to protect Taiwan's ships will turn into a fable.
