America notes -- a visit to Utah State University
South Zhejiang Zhongchen Wo Xuejun law firm
Since September 9th, we have a week holiday.Due to American Utah State University School of business invitation, I and Zhejiang handing firm Zhu Qi decided to use this holiday to visit the school, and agreed to all students of the college as a period of two days of lectures.
After all, a lecture to foreign students in the USA, and we are the members of the Zhejiang delegation of anti-dumping lawyer, to represent his home's image, so firms, we made full preparations: by the importance China lawyer I will open Chinese profiles and the legal system and after the reform, the lawyer said Zhu Qi how to China business and entrepreneurs in Zhejiang province.In order to make lectures lively, I also asked Beijing Heng law firm Zhou Suying lawyers to help organize the group notes and powerpoint.
September 9th (Sunday), we take the America Airlines flight detour to Chicago to Utah State capital city of Saline Lake, it was two fifteen pm local time.America domestic unlike Chinese using unified Beijing time, but according to the region is divided into 5 time zones; for example, located in the western city of Saline Lake time than Washington's eastern the Atlantic time zone 2 hours late; therefore the difference in America travel must pay attention to the time, otherwise it will bring not the small trouble.At the airport, we took the Utah State University predetermined Cache Valley (Cache
Valley) bus, minibus, went to the University of the city of Logan (Logan), the way to spend 1.5 hours.Out of the airport, and it felt like the Chinese Xinjiang, on both sides of the road across the mountains, a lot of hill is bare, even if there are trees, as I saw in the USA east the five great lakes or New Jersey as big green, a wild profusion of vegetation.And at the foot of the mountain plains is all over the gravel, covered with clumps of low drought resistant plants.In this environment is harsh, USA Mormons (Utah is mainly inhabited by Mormons) with enthusiasm and perseverance, in this piece of land on the root.Reportedly, we want to go to Logan in the Cache Valley (Cache
Valley) is a Mormon first reached settlements, they have to be the region into a products rich, beautiful environment of the resort.At the end of every 9 began, Logan of the nearby mountains subfrigid coniferous forest will transform the color of leaves, as China Jiuzhaigou beautiful.
In the evening, with infinite thoughts, we arrived at the Utah State University, and the University arranged Hotel check-in.University hotel is just on the university campus, the window can be seen from time to time by twos and threes through America College students.For a moment, Professor Hu Haiyan University Business School (coincidentally she is Hangzhou) to take us to visit Logan urban and dinner.The Logan city of about 100000 people, 20000 of them are university students or faculty; although the population is not much, but Logan city covers an area of very large, many professors or rich people will house built in the cache valley slopes, whenever the sun rises or Sundowners, appreciate Logan, in the mountain valley the slope, let people thinking.Happily, in this USA inland city, there are many Asians, including China compatriots.Allegedly, according to Mormon doctrine, Mormons attached great importance to family life, they would build up a family, child rearing (later lecture I have seen women students took the child class); and they attach great importance to family harmony and family reunion, the conception and Oriental philosophy agree without prior without previous consultation, so many Chinese willing living here.In addition, according to Mormon doctrine, Mormons life must have two years of time to go out to preach; and in the China Taiwan and other Asian areas such as Japan, Thailand has its mission agencies, so many lives in Logan or other Utah area of Americans have come to Asia, Taiwan's experience, many people even said that very standard mandarin.Of course, due to the popularity of the Mormon doctrine, in Logan City, the security situation is quite good.
The second day, early in the morning (here the university start at seven thirty in the morning we went to business school) building according to plan, prepare.I was assigned to teach in Chester professor of political and commercial practice course (Prof.
Chester
Brough) class lecture, time is on, two in the afternoon, evening with Professor (Prof.
Shannon
Peterson) class and high grade students for the seminar.A practicing lawyer professor Chester is America, served 8 years in the state prosecutor, so he has a rich theoretical and practical knowledge; according to plan, I only need to speak for 15 minutes, the other time professor of Chester there are many textbooks to teach.But, when I entered the classroom, I found USA students interested in China, many people also have more understanding of China.For example, they China products have been questioned in USA market (including Chinese produced toys are recalled, China fishes in pesticide residues and other events) put forward a lot of problems.And I was in the political made a deeper answer to the commercial impact angle.Since 2008, American once every four years the presidential election will be officially launched; and the Democratic Party in order to completely destroy the conservative party, is the use of many policy mistakes the conservative incumbent president Bush was flogging, which, in order to show the current conservative government on imports sparsely in supervision and management, the Democrats and the media had been on China the use of lead paint on toys will cause damage to human body and attacks on Bush government.Interestingly, in favor of the Democratic Party USA cable news network (CNN) often report problems concerning quality China product content and follow-up reports, and tend to be conservative USA Fawkes News Network (FOX) are not many reports.It can be seen, not Chinese products have quality problems worrying, but China products are deliberately exaggerated; in fact, every China products exported to American total, mechanical and electrical products accounted for more than 40%, clothing textiles accounted for 20%, while the proportion of toys, food etc. only about 10%; and even in toys, food this class of problems, it is only a very small part of.Analysis and my data, make the most of America students agree with my point of view, think this is a political influence is the typical business case.Because the students have so many problems, so the Chester Professor simply all of classroom time is given to me, so that I can be more in-depth study of legal system, the China Chinese open policy, Chinese market economy, China economic achievements, in the trade friction and America students, especially in the China developed areas such as Zhejiang Province, business investment, market value and opportunity.As explored in depth, American students even made a very professional problems, such as, "Wo lawyers to provide legal services, expert you as the actual Chinese market participation and, if you think seriously overvalued phenomenon exists at present China A stock market?"For such problems, not in a very short period of time to explain, and various interpretations are ultimately from the future development of the stock market to get the actual video card.But I will study and understand your answer, I think Chinese although the stock market bubble, but also there is no universal overpricing problem.Firstly, from the total economy analysis, American New York stock exchange, NASDAQ Stock Exchange and other capital market is much higher than that of GDP USA total gross, and China market capitalisation is roughly equivalent to the gross domestic product of 1/4; secondly, the gross investment China American bonds in Yiwanyi dollars, far more than the current Chinese the stock market capitalisation of $640000000000; third, the development of economic Chinese now, no adverse situation, the economy is still in the rapid and healthy development; finally, expectations, such as the appreciation of the renminbi is expected, leading to a large amount of money into the stock market in the short term China, will continue to push up the stock market, such as the current 30 listing Corporation Chinese largest in 29 and is not listed on the China in the stock market, so there is optimistic expectations on their return.To sum up, I think the stock market does not exist Chinese overvalued phenomenon.Answer and analysis of my America students responded with warm applause.Then, but also the students mentioned Chinese and America trade disputes, and asked in a recent case there is no new phenomenon in the China.In fact, America Ministry of Commerce (DOC) in the first half of the export of Chinese USA plate paper the existence of dumping investigation is presented in this year, at the same time American Department of Commerce to China plate paper exports are being subsidized presents investigation.This is a new trend.Because in 1986 the Ministry of Commerce in America established Georgetown Steel Corporation in principle is, for China like no market economy status of the country, because of its business is in government control and pricing, so can not distinguish between what products are subject to government subsidies?How much is the amount of subsidy?So for the non market economy country, the Ministry of Commerce on USA countervailing investigation case shall not be accepted.And now, USA did not give Chinese market economy status, but the Ministry of commerce is in violation of the USA plate paper established 20 years ago to export American principle China filed countervailing investigation.This contradiction has a policy.The reasonable explanation may be, first, USA has given China market economy status, so the Chinese export products according to market economy countries instituted countervailing investigation; secondly, American although don't give China market economy status, but like the European Union in practice according to market economic countries treat Chinese; thirdly, American Ministry of commerce is under political pressure, want to show strong constraints on the China export policy, regardless of the contradiction, the first to make investigation and ruling, etc. China to International Trade Organization (WTO) appeal after correction.Whatever the reason, the new trends are worth thinking and researching.
A day of lectures and discussion soon passed, although I feel very tired, but the mood excited.I feel Chinese is strong, even American Utah students and professors have to spend a lot of time to understand this once remote, mysterious country.
The third day, in the morning we started the lecture.This time I and Professor Carle (Prof. Ken
Carr) vice director Professor Fu Sen and the school of business market system (Prof. Chris
Fawson) is also a partner, on the afternoon of the two class, evening study with Professor Fu Sen MBA students of class.Time is passed, discussed the same, the same applause; the difference is, the master of business class many students have their own business, so they ask me a lot of business cards, said to continue to contact, in order to understand the more Chinese market information, or look for an opportunity to Chinese practice and inspection.
Two whole days spent much of our energy to give lectures, but I and Zhu's lawyers think very worthwhile.Walking in the campus, from time to time students to say hello, said to Chinese more understanding, also thank our introduction, and welcome we had the chance to go to Utah State University.It should be said, fully prepared before the lecture we guarantee success.We hope, to China, for in-depth exchanges and cooperation in the future add a contribution to Zhejiang, the hometown of Hangzhou introduction.
