Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. While starting with batteries and auto parts, the spread of Chinese business is expected to result eventually in the sale of Chinese cars in the United States. "The Chinese are well behind the Japanese when they hit our shores 30 years ago," said David E. Cole, a founder of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. "They lack the know-how, and they're coming here to get it." As businesses sprout up with little fanfare, Chinese companies seem to be trying to avoid the type of public opposition experienced by the Japanese automakers Toyota and Honda in the 1980s, when the sudden influx of foreign cars competing head-on with cars from General Motors, Ford and Chrysler was perceived as a threat to American jobs. In contrast to the Japanese, Chinese auto companies are assiduously avoiding the spotlight. Last year, the biggest carmaker in China, Shanghai Automotive Industries, opened new offices in suburban Detroit without any publicity, which is almost unheard-of in an industry that thrives on media coverage. But China's growth in the American auto industry is drawing notice in Washington. Last year, the Obama administration filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization that China's government was unfairly subsidizing the production of some parts shipped to America. And the country's inroads into American-made batteries and electric vehicles have drawn scrutiny because that sector of the industry has been heavily subsidized by the United States government. The American industry's overall resurgence has drawn a growing Chinese population to Detroit, with Chinese-owned suppliers bringing executives from their country and American automakers adding new talent. About 50,000 Chinese, many of them engineers and other professionals who work at General Motors and the Ford Motor Company, live in the metropolitan area. Business networks are growing too. The Detroit Chinese Business Association boasts a flourishing membership, and counts about 100 Chinese-owned businesses, mostly auto-related, in the region. The Ford Chinese Association, with 650 white-collar workers, predominantly from mainland China, has become one of the largest employee groups at the company. Its president, Raymond Xu, recalled that in 1999, when he came to Detroit to attend college, there were very few Chinese in the area. "I think people are going to get more and more comfortable with it," Mr. Xu said. Typical of the Chinese expansion are the nondescript offices of Changan Automotive in an industrial park in the suburban city of Plymouth. Changan, a major carmaker in China, set up a research center to better understand the structural chassis of a vehicle - then hired about 20 Detroit engineers, some of whom had been laid off from Detroit's auto companies, to staff the project. "Most of the engineers are very young in China," said Hong Su, the Changan executive heading the American facility. "They know how to make vehicles, but they don't know how to develop them."One of his employees is Alan Wall, 54, a former contract engineer at Chrysler who lost his job during the recession. "It was an opportunity," he said. "And those tend to come from a company that is trying to expand." Last year, China exported about $13 billion in automotive goods to the United States - tires, wheels and radios that are sold as replacement parts - according to AlixPartners, a consulting firm. But many Chinese suppliers are pursuing direct business with the Detroit car companies, which now get many of their most common parts from low-wage nations like Mexico. One supplier, Brilliance Auto , an industrial giant with about 500,000 employees in the city of Shenyang in northeast China, is still an underdog in Detroit, trying to crack an intricate network of suppliers that have long relationships with G.M. and the other carmakers. "We have been exporting our parts to North America for 15 years for the aftermarket," said Dongbin Chen, a Brilliance executive, referring to retail sales of replacement parts. "Now our biggest opportunity is with G.M. and the other big companies." Brilliance scored a coup last year by supplying lightweight engine mounts for the new Cadillac ATS sedan made by G.M. in Lansing, Mich., which has whetted the company's appetite for more. At a United States-China conference held here in November, Brilliance displayed a large exhibit showcasing a range of mundane parts - including seat belts, steering wheels and shock absorbers - that it hopes to export to America. "We have the ability and the capacity to supply these kinds of parts," Mr. Chen said. "And I think right now, it is very important for us to be here." In addition to Chinese companies locating in Detroit, a cottage industry of lawyers, accountants and corporate advisers has grown up to assist them. Their numbers are small now, but the impact of the Chinese on the local economy is slowly expanding. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States. "We simply don't know how many there are," said David Andrea, an official with the Original Equipment Suppliers Association, a trade organization for auto parts makers. In one of the more prominent deals, the Wanxiang Group bought most of the assets of the battery maker A123 Systems, which filed for bankruptcy last year despite receiving $132 million of $249 million in federal grants to build two factories in Michigan. Congressional Republicans criticized the deal, saying A123's technology could support military applications in China. Still, the buyout was approved this year by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a federal government panel. Wanxiang, which has its United States headquarters near Chicago, has acquired several American auto parts and solar companies in recent years. But it attracted little attention until it took an interest in A123 Systems. "I wasn't surprised by the negative reaction," said Pin Ni, president of the company's American unit. "The reality is we grow here like a small seed into a bigger tree, and we cannot avoid this type of response." He said that Wanxiang employed several thousand American workers, and kept local management in place at companies it had bought. "We act, talk and walk like an American company," Mr. Ni said. "In the end, it's all about making money." Other Chinese companies are averse to publicity. Shanghai Auto is the largest carmaker in China and has major joint ventures there with G.M. and the German automaker Volkswagen. But when the company opened its new Detroit-area offices last year, even G.M. was surprised. "Since we do not do business with SAIC in the U.S., there is no connection between G.M. and the SAIC office in the U.S.," said Dayna Hart, a G.M. spokeswoman. The arms-length reaction underscores the sensitivity surrounding China's presence in the American industry. Only about 4 percent of Chinese-made light vehicles are exported now, mostly to countries in Africa and the Middle East. But the Detroit automakers are bracing for the day when competitive Chinese cars hit the American market. "The Chinese have a lot of money and they are moving fast," said Mr. Cole. "We're going to see a lot more of them here." The growth in the Chinese professional class has had a ripple effect on the broader community, as well, with Chinese community groups sponsoring youth soccer leagues, basketball tournaments and musical performances at Detroit Tigers games. One organization runs a Chinese soup kitchen every year at a local homeless shelter. Frank Chiu was an engineer for an auto supply company when he saw the growing number of Chinese professionals entering the industry and saw an opportunity. He left his job to open a Chinese grocery store in Canton, Mich, a bedroom community not far from Ford headquarters. "The timing was very good for this type of business," said Mr. Chiu, whose store features Chinese delicacies like chicken feet, snow fungus and pork uterus. As customers roamed the store around him, Mr. Chiu reflected on how much had changed since he moved from Taiwan more than 20 years ago. "What was it like then?" he said. "Lonely is the first word that comes to mind." At Ford, Chinese employees play an integral part in the company's expansion in China, where it is building several new factories. They also help prepare American executives for transfers to China, and play host to Chinese car dealers when they visit Ford's headquarters. On Feb. 14, hundreds of Ford employees celebrated the Chinese New Year at the stately Dearborn Inn, which was conceived by Henry Ford in the 1930s as a replica of an early American village, with guest cottages that copied the homes of historical figures like Walt Whitman and Patrick Henry. "We definitely see more openness to the Chinese culture," said Mr. Xu, the Ford Chinese Association president. "We started small here, but we are coming on strong." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-creating-auto-niche-within-012304652.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=42b_1368530160 Detroit Iron Chinese Creating New Auto Niche Within Detroit DETROIT, China Mon, 13 May 2013 22:27:50 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=26f_1368498291 Lake8737 The man was is having an argument with his wife over the phone and suddenly gets mad.

Very soon Syria will win this war and things will pick up paste there real fast. Syria is seeking to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the grouping of the emerging economies - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) in the future, Syria's information minister said on Saturday. "We would like to become one day the member of such organizations as the SCO and BRICS," Omran Ahed al-Zouabi said at the meeting with Ilyas Umakhanov, Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council. The minister said Syria would also like Russia to participate in the country's reconstruction after the settlement of the Syrian crisis , which has claimed at least 70,000 lives and displaced millions in just over two years. In the March declaration at the end of the BRICS summit in Durban, South Africa , the leaders expressed "deep concern" over the ongoing conflict in Syria and warned against any further militarization of the conflict. Founded in 2001, the SCO comprises Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The organization consolidates efforts to counter terrorism and radicalization among member countries, and also works on other policy areas such as politics and trade. Afghanistan, India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan have observer status, while Belarus, Sri Lanka and Turkey are classed as dialogue partners. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f05_1367058820 AlexanderSigal Syria Seeks to Join <span class="highlight">Shanghai</span> Group, BRICS - Minister Syria, SCO, BRICS, war, SAA, Russia, defense Fri, 10 May 2013 07:55:28 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5ed_1368186427 Detroit Iron By Kyunghee Park &amp; Jasmine Wang - May 9, 2013 9:26 PM ET Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. (009540) failed for eight years to win ship orders from China . That ended when it pledged to build the world's biggest container carrier.China Shipping Container Lines Co. (2866) this week said it chose Hyundai Heavy to construct five vessels that can each carry 18,400 20-foot boxes. The world's biggest yard, which has already won orders for five 14,000-box vessels this year, beat Chinese builders for the $683 million contract. Rising demand for bigger and more fuel-efficient ships from lines including A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S (MAERSKB) will help South Korean yards boost profits amid an overall slump in orders caused by a vessel glut. The nation's shipbuilders have dominated the construction of mega ships that are longer than Eiffel Tower as they built almost all such vessels in operation. "Making these ships isn't easy," said Park Moo Hyun, an analyst at E*Trade Securities Korea . "South Korean yards are the only ones that have proved these big ships can be built on time. Chinese shipyards are still way behind and that gap is only going to get wider." Since 2010, yards in South Korea delivered all except one of the 143 vessels that can carry more than 10,000 boxes, according to Clarkson Plc , the world's biggest shipbroker. Hyundai Heavy dropped 1 percent to 201,500 won as of 10:21 a.m. in Seoul trading. The stock has fallen 17 percent this year, compared with a 1.7 percent decline in the benchmark Kospi index. 14,000 BoxesA South Korean yard previously won a Chinese order for container ships in August 2007, Park said. Samsung Heavy Industries Co. (010140), the world's second-largest shipbuilder, got the contract, also from China Shipping, to build eight vessels with a capacity to haul 14,000 boxes each. The ships were delivered by the first half of last year. Hyundai Heavy's previous order from China was in January 2005 for four container ships that can each carry 10,000 boxes, the Ulsan, South Korea-based company said. The vessels were all delivered by 2008. China Shipping placed the order with Hyundai Heavy after a tender in which Chinese yards also participated, the carrier said in an e-mail. As much as 70 percent of the price would be paid when the ships are delivered. The company favors Chinese builders when conditions and offers match, it said. "Korean yards do have the capability to build better, giant ships," said Sarah Wang, a Shanghai-based analyst at Masterlink Securities Corp. "China Shipping may have placed the order because of the technology." New EngineThe new ships will use an engine that can automatically control fuel consumption to suit speed and sea conditions. The technology will help improve fuel efficiency , reduce noise and cut emissions. Delivery will start in the second half of 2014. "It's true we never built ships that can carry 18,000 boxes, but that doesn't mean we don't have the technology," said Wang Jinlian, secretary general of the China Association of National Shipbuilding Industry . "We just don't have the experience, but everything has a beginning." Chinese yards had an orderbook of 218 million deadweight tons in 2008, overtaking South Korea as the world's biggest shipbuilding nation, according to Clarkson. At the end of March, their backlog dropped to 106.5 million tons, compared with South Korea's 62.3 million tons, according to the shipbroker's data. Spot RatesChinese shipping lines should be encouraged to place orders with local yards, Wang said. Some shipping lines are in talks with Chinese builders for vessels that can carry 16,000 containers, he said without elaboration. After China Shipping announced the latest purchase, the China Shipowners' Association said new orders will exacerbate the overcapacity in the industry and spur a further deterioration in the market. Spot rates for cargo hauled to Europe from Asia have fallen 35 percent this year to $796 per box last week, according to the Shanghai Shipping Exchange. "If the massive order continues, even five years will not be enough for the market to see the light," Zhang Shouguo, executive vice president of the association, said in a May 7 statement on the group's website. "Fuel-efficient vessels are the future, but banks, financial institutions, shipowners and cargo owners should take an extremely cautious attitude toward shipping investment." Hurting MarginsShip prices have plunged because of the overcapacity and industrywide losses, hurting margins at shipbuilders. Prices for a vessel that can carry as many as 13,500 boxes have fallen to $106 million in April, the lowest since Clarkson started compiling the figure in June 2008. Global orders for all type of ships dropped 38 percent to 51.1 million deadweight tons last year, the lowest since 2001, according to Clarkson. Shipping lines have sold older vessels and non-core assets as they posted losses for a second year in 2012, according to Alphaliner . Companies are also sailing slower, with the average speed of container ships dropping 16 percent in the past three years to 10.04 knots, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Reducing the speed of container ships by 10 percent can pare fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent, according to ship assessor Det Norske Veritas . While overcapacity is a concern, it won't stop shipowners from ordering more advanced vessels that will help pare fuel costs and reduce emissions, according to Um Kyung A, an analyst at Shinyoung Securities Co. in Seoul. "Cutting costs is very crucial for shipping lines," Um said. "During these difficult times, who can make money and who can't will pretty much depend on who can cut costs more effectively."

Putin did not say how, but he did announce he had ordered the acceleration of highly advanced Russian weapons supplies to Syria. Israeli Debkafile's military sources disclosed that the Russian leader was referring to S-300 anti-air systems and the nuclear-capable 9K720 Iskander (NATO named SS-26 Stone) surface missiles, which are precise enough to hit a target within a 5-7 meter radius at a distance of 280 kilometers. In his phone call to Netanyahu, the Russian leader advised the prime minister to make sure to keep this in mind. Since Syrian air defense teams have already trained in Russia on the handling of the S-300 interceptor batteries, they can go into service as soon as they are landed by one of Russia's daily airlifts to Syria. Russian air defense officials will supervise their deployment and prepare them for operation. Moscow is retaliating not just for Israel's air operations against Syria but in anticipation of the Obama administration's impending decision to send the first US arms shipments to the Syrian rebels. Intelligence agencies in Moscow and the Middle-East take it for granted that by the time Washington goes public on this decision, some of the Syrian rebel factions will already be armed with American weapons. That the measure was in the works was signified by the introduction Monday by chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bob Menendez of legislation allowing the US to provide arms and military training to the Syrian rebels. US military instructors have been working with Syrian rebels at training camps in Jordan and Turkey for some months. So putting the arms in their hands only awaited a decision in Washington, the Israeli website alleged. Putin's message to Netanyahu was intended to reach a wider audience than Jerusalem, such as Barack Obama in Washington and President Xi Jinping in Beijing ahead of Netanyahu's talks there Tuesday.
