Trump urges Toyota to build plants in US www.nhk.or.jp

President Donald Trump has again urged Toyota to make more cars in America during a meeting with auto executives in the US city of Detroit on Wednesday.

Trump said his administration is going to do what he called "wonderful work" with the car manufacturers, but they have to help him out by providing jobs.

The chief executive officer of Toyota North America, Jim Lentz, said the company plans massive investments in the US.

Trump said, "I know I'm giving you a hard time, but you've got to build those new plants here".

Trump asked a representative of Nissan how many of the company's vehicles sold in the US market are manufactured in the country.

After the meeting, the president announced a review of tough fuel-efficiency standards introduced by the Obama administration.

He said he is setting up a task force in every federal agency to identify and remove any regulation that undermines American auto production.

Environmentalists are likely to criticize the decision.

Tesla to raise more than 1 bn U.S. dollars for producing new electric car www.xinhuanet.com

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15 (Xinhua) -- Tesla Motors, Inc. said Wednesday it plans to offer 250 million U.S. dollars worth of common stock and 750 million dollars in convertible notes due in 2022, to help finance its production of upcoming Model 3 electric car.

SHANGHAI - General Electric (GE) has signed a series of agreements with Chinese companies to boost bilateral cooperation and enhance global competitiveness, according to an announcement by the company.

GE will work with China Telecom to help its internet technology enter the Chinese market and speed up China's industrial upgrades.

GE signed an agreement with Harbin Electric Corporation to establish a gas turbine manufacturing base, which will help China produce homegrown gas turbines and promote industrial upgrades of China's high-end manufacturing.

In the healthcare sector, GE will deliver a bio-pharmaceutical plant model to China's BeiGene to produce medicine. This will be the GE's third model plant worldwide.

GE also signed a deal with China Southern Airlines worth $3.48 billion to provide aircraft engine maintenance, repair and overhaul services to the airline company.

Beijing seeks to avoid trade war with Washington www.rt.com

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Wednesday that Beijing does not want to see a trade war with the United States, adding the sides could overcome their disagreements and achieve common ground.

"We do not want to see any trade war breaking out between the two countries. That would not make our trade fairer," Li said at the annual meeting of China's parliament.

He added the relationship is crucial not just for China and the US, but also for regional and global peace, security and stability.

"We may have different statistical methods, but I believe whatever differences we may have we can all sit down and talk to each other and work together to find solutions."

The premier said issues that cannot immediately be solved should be "shelved" for the time being.

The comments come as US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are reported to meet in Florida next month.

Concerns have been growing over the risk of a trade war between the world's two biggest economies.

Trump has repeatedly criticized China's trade practices and threatened to impose punitive tariffs on the country’s imports. He argued many Chinese policies were unfair, pointing to Beijing’s currency manipulation, theft of trade secrets, hacking, lax labor and environmental regulations.

Last year, the United States trade deficit with China reached $347 billion, and Trump has promised to close that gap, which he has also attributed to China’s rigged currency exchange policies.

The US President has not followed through on his promises, and in a recent phone call with Xi, Trump honored the One China policy, acknowledging Beijing’s position that there is only one China, of which Taiwan is a part.

Premier Li also said that China-US relations are founded upon adherence to the One China policy.

He said Beijing was willing to make its state-run economy more accessible for foreign investment despite "frictions in trade and investment."

"China will continue to open to the outside world," he said, adding “We welcome other partners to share with us in the development opportunities of China."

Mongolia may see 7-8 pct economic growth after recovery - IMF www.reuters.com

ULAANBAATAR, March 14 (Reuters) - Mongolia can likely look forward to 7-8 percent economic growth once it rebounds from its economic troubles, the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) country head to Mongolia said.

"I see 7-8 percent (economic growth), which I think is achievable and sustainable," IMF Resident Representative for Mongolia Neil Saker said at a panel discussion on Monday.

That would still be far slower than the boom days when the resource-rich country grew 17.3 percent in 2011.

The IMF and other partners bailed Mongolia out with a $5.5 billion economic stabilisation package in February, after the landlocked nation was hit hard by an economic crisis in 2016 due to government overspending and declining revenues from commodity exports.

This rescue package boosted investor confidence and helped in a successful debt swap of the $580 million bond due 2017 issued by the state-owned Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM).

Holders of $476 million DBM bonds received new sovereign bonds in exchange and new investors bought $124 million bonds, taking the aggregate of the new sovereign bonds due in 2024 , to $600 million. The remaining $104 million bonds issued by DBM will be redeemed on March 21.

"The Development Bank bond is now being settled," Saker said, referring to the bond due on March 21.

"Mongolia did a good job talking to investors and the bond was five times oversubscribed."

China cuts retail oil prices www.chinadaily.com

BEIJING - China will lower the retail prices of both gas and diesel by 85 yuan ($12.3) per ton from Wednesday due to falling international prices, according to the country's top economic planner.

It will be the second oil price cut this year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

China has a pricing regime that adjusts domestic retail oil prices when international crude prices change by more than 50 yuan per ton during a time span of 10 work days.

Influenced by increasing crude oil reserves in the United States, growing shale oil output and a stronger dollar, international oil prices have fallen sharply recently.

Weak demand will keep oil prices at a relatively low level in the short term, said the NDRC price monitoring center.

So far this year, China has also raised retail oil prices twice, leading to an accumulated reduction of gas and diesel prices both by 35 yuan per ton.

Mongolian PM to visit Russia www.news.mn

J.Erdenebat, Prime Minister of Mongolia will pay a visit the Russian Federation in the first half of 2017, Mongolian Ambassador to Moscow B.Delgermaa told TASS on Monday.

"At a meeting of the intergovernmental commission in Ulaanbaatar in 2016, we had a very effective discussion of issues in all spheres, not only in the trade-and-economics but also in humanitarian and other areas," she said. "We have already adopted a detailed plan to deal with the problems that have been piling up for years, including railway transport, excise duties during railway shipments, building a water storage facility and cooperation in border regions. Our embassy is working with Russian ministries and agencies in all spheres."

"As regards concrete results, we expect that about 40-50% of problematic issues in relations between our countries will be regulated and resolved in practical terms before the Mongolian prime minister’s visit which is expected to take place in the first half of this year," the ambassador said, adding that the next regular meeting of the intergovernmental commission is scheduled to be held in Moscow in late 2017.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev visited Mongolia in July 2016. He had a series of bilateral meetings with Mongolia’s top officials and took part in a summit meeting of heads of state and government of ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) member states.
