Australia must not "close the door" on foreign investment: Chinese investment tycoon www.xinhuanet.com

CANBERRA, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese investment mogul behind the vetoed 285 million U.S. dollar bid for Australia's largest pastoral land holding said he had "given up" the dealing with Australia, urging the government not to "close the door" on foreign money.

Charles Liu, founder and chairman of billion dollar company HAO Capital, told local media on Monday that the MalcolmTurnbull's government's "protectionist" attitude toward Chinese and foreign investment would continue to discourage investors from taking their money there.

Liu, who has invested in Australia for 20 years, said the process surrounding the failed bid for pastoral company S. Kidman and Co. was reminiscent of the "unfortunate trend" of closing the door on Chinese money by other Western nations.

"(The government) should have made clear at the beginning (of the Kidman & Co. bidding process) -- if that were the case - that a Chinese bid would not be acceptable," Liu told The Australian newspaper.

"If this is the attitude of the Australian government, one has to totally give up on the Kidman deal."

He added that Australia's previous Tony Abbott-led federal government which put together the historic China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) "was quite supportive, and then came the change of the administration".

Liu said Australia seemed to be heading down the same path as other Western nations which have been hesitant to fully embrace a global marketplace and economy, adding that his concerns were shared by "many people in China".

"This is an unfortunate trend developing in Western countries today, with de-globalization and xenophobia, populism and protectionism on the march," Liu said.

"Domestic politics in the West, including in Australia, is increasingly heading in that direction the massive change under way in countries' ethnic composition."

"It's unfortunate that entrepreneurial and hardworking Chinese people get caught up in this negativity, everyone being lumped together."

Liu said Australia should continue to embrace Chinese money as "there aren't so many people with deep pockets any more except the Chinese".

"If people take a positive attitude, then an overwhelming amount of business can be done," he said.

Germany's Lanxess to buy Chemtura for about $2.12 billion in cash www.reuters.com

Lanxess AG (LXSG.DE) said on Sunday it would buy specialty chemical company Chemtura Corp (CHMT.N) for about $2.12 billion in cash to improve the German company's additives business.
 
Lanxess's offer of $33.50 for each Chemtura share, represents a premium of about 19 percent to the Philadelphia-based company's close on Friday.
 
The world's largest synthetic rubber maker will use existing funds and new debt to buy Chemtura in a deal with an enterprise value of about 2.4 billion euros ($2.69 billion), Lanxess said in a statement.
 
The boards of both companies have unanimously approved the deal, which is expected to close around mid-2017, Chemtura said in a separate statement.
 
Lanxess also said it will no longer pursue its earlier-announced share buyback of around 200 million euros.
 
Morgan Stanley advised Chemtura on the deal.

British manufacturing sector ready for expected boost from Treasury www.theguardian.com

Britain’s manufacturers insisted they have a crucial role to play in a post-Brexit world, contributing $247bn (£190bn) a year to the economy and creating well-paid, high-value jobs.
 
The UK is the world’s ninth-largest industrial nation and manufacturing accounts for 14% of business investment according to a report by the sector’s trade body, called EEF, and Santander.
 
But it comes at a time of huge uncertainty for manufacturers, with companies intending to cut investment in new plant and machinery to its lowest level since the financial crisis according to a survey published by EEF earlier this month.
 
Lee Hopley, chief economist at EEF, said: “Given the importance of manufacturing to the economy it’s vital that we educate all stakeholders about its real value and contribution to growth. This is especially important in a post-Brexit world where we have to look at all new avenues of generating growth and investment.”
 
As chancellor Philip Hammond prepares to deliver his maiden autumn statement on 23 November, the group has called for an ambitious industrial strategy to make the UK an appealing proposition for future manufacturing investment.
 
Hammond is expected to announce a programme of investment in transport and other infrastructure projects to give the economy a post-Brexit-vote boost.
 
Reports over the weekend suggested Theresa May has instructed the chancellor to extend the northern powerhouse initiative – conceived by his predecessor in number 11, George Osborne – to other UK regions.
 
Hammond has already signalled that he is willing to “reset” the public finances to support the economy, abandoning Osborne’s target of returning to a surplus of £10.4bn by 2019-20.
 
It is hoped that Britain’s factories will be able to capitalise on the sharp fall in the value of the pound since the UK voted to leave the EU. A weak pound makes British goods cheaper abroad, potentially boosting exports.
 
EEF said Britain is having an industrial renaissance, with manufacturers creating jobs at a faster rate than any other country apart from the US since 2010. The sector’s average annual earnings of about £31,500 are almost £4,000 above the figure for the whole economy, it added.
 
London and the south-east are the biggest manufacturing regions, just ahead of the north-west and the midlands.

Singapore firm buys half of Rolling Stone www.cnn.com

Rolling Stone is teaming up with the son of an Asian business giant.
Wenner Media, which owns the nearly 50-year-old music magazine, will sell a 49% stake in the publication to Singapore-based social music company BandLab Technologies.
BandLab was created by Meng Ru Kuok, the son of the billionaire founder of the world's biggest palm oil company.
Though BandLab's signature product is its eponymous music making and sharing app, the business also has ties to retail. It recently bought MONO, a music instrument accessories company.

Gus Wenner, head of digital at Wenner Media, said the company sees "enormous opportunity" for Rolling Stone to enter "new areas of business." Wenner's father, Jann Wenner, is the magazine's co-founder.
The deal is being positioned as a chance for Rolling Stone to move into digital and retail, and to expand its influence in Asia.
In its announcement Sunday, Rolling Stone said an international subsidiary will be created and headquartered in Singapore.

The magazine retracted a 2014 piece called "A Rape On Campus," about an alleged frat house gang rape at the University of Virginia, after doubts surfaced about the veracity of the primary source's claims.
An administrator at the university is suing the magazine for defamation, seeking millions in damages. A separate lawsuit brought by members of the fraternity was dismissed.

Chinese coal companies to boost thermal coal output to placate steel mills www.mining.com

The meteoric rise in coking coal prices over the last couple of months has had a painful effect on China's steel producers, who are having to pay a lot more for coking coal, a key ingredient in steel production. The cost inflation gave rise to a protest from the China Iron and Steel Association which represents large state-owned steel mills. On Friday the country's state-owned coal mining companies relented, and agreed to increase output, which should cause Chinese coal prices to level off.

Cranking up production is actually the opposite of what Beijing wants to do for Chinese coal. For months the Chinese government has tried to rectify overcapacity by mandating production cuts and shutting debt-ridden mines that are close to the end of their lives. Beijing has also limited coal mines to operating a maximum 276 days a year.

How will the increase in thermal coal output affect coking coal prices in China? According to the Financial Times it won't necessarily resolve the supply squeeze of coking coal, which tightens up in winter when cold weather slows mining operations northern China and Mongolia. However, increasing the nation's output of thermal coal will "help keep a lid on coal prices in China, reducing pressure on thermal power generators and preventing the rally in coal prices from feeding through to the power sector."

Meanwhile on Saturday, the State Council of the Chinese government approved the merger of Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel. The combined entity will be the largest steel company in China and the second largest in the world, after European steel giant ArcelorMittal, CCTV reported.

Hanjin's bankruptcy causes logistics chaos www.nhk.or.jp

The bankruptcy of South Korea's largest container carrier is causing logistics chaos in many countries.

Hanjin Shipping went under on August 31st. Since then, port operators in many countries have been refusing port calls of Hanjin's container vessels for fear of failing to receive port and cargo handling fees.

The South Korean government says 62 cargo carriers have dropped anchor in harbors or offshore.

The government is trying to provide financial assistance to Hanjin, in order to return 33 ships to South Korean ports, and allow 29 vessels to enter foreign ports for offloading.

The chairman of Hanjin Group, the shipping operator's parent conglomerate, has offered 37 million dollars of his own money to help cover costs.

Korean Air, the core business of the group, has also pledged aid of 55 million dollars.

The South Korean government estimates that all of Hanjin's container vessels will unload their cargo at the end of October at the earliest.

India to join Paris Agreement on climate change www3.nhk.or.jp

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi says his government will ratify the Paris Agreement on climate change next month. The country is the world's fourth-largest emitter of greenhouse gasses.

Speaking in the southern state of Kerala on Sunday, Modi said his government plans to ratify the Agreement on October 2nd, the birth anniversary of India's independence leader Mahatma Gandhi.

Modi said Gandhi lived with a minimum carbon footprint.

The Paris Agreement was adopted last December as the first international framework to cut greenhouse gas emissions after 2020.

The agreement will take effect when it is ratified by signatories whose greenhouse gas emissions account for 55 percent or more of the world's overall figure.

India emits more than 4 percent of global emissions, following China, the United States and Russia.

India's ratification is expected to help the agreement take a major step toward its becoming effective.

Earlier this month, China and the United States announced their plans to ratify the pact. Attention is now focused on how other major emitters will respond to these positive trends.

Japan, the fifth-largest emitter accounting for 3.8 percent of the global amount, has not completed domestic procedures for its ratification.

China slowdown is global economy's biggest threat, Rogoff says www.bbc.com

The former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund has told the BBC a slowdown in China is the greatest threat to the global economy.
Ken Rogoff said a calamitous "hard landing" for one of the main engines of global growth could not be ruled out.
"China is going through a big political revolution," he said.
"And I think the economy is slowing down much more than the official figures show,"
Mr Rogoff added: "If you want to look at a part of the world that has a debt problem look at China. They've seen credit fuelled growth and these things don't go on forever."
British exposure
Last week, the Bank of International Settlements, the global think tank for central banks, said that China's debt to GDP ratio stood at 30.1%, increasing fears that China's economic boom was based on an unstable credit bubble.
The figure was described as "very high by international standards" by the Financial Policy Committee of the Bank of England, which will now test British banks' exposure to a Chinese slowdown.
British banks have $530bn worth of lending and business in China, including Hong Kong. That is about 16% of all foreign assets held by UK banks.
'A worry'
"Everyone says China's different, the state owns everything they can control it," Mr Rogoff, now Professor of Economics at Harvard, said.

"We're having a pretty sharp landing already and I worry about China becoming more of a problem.
"We've taken it for granted that whatever Europe's doing, Japan's doing - at least China's moving along and there isn't really a substitute for China.
"I think India may come along some day but it's fallen so far behind in size it's not going to compensate."
'Nervous'
Mr Rogoff said that European economies and the US had to ensure they were "on their feet" before any slowdown started to bite.
"The IMF has marked down its forecasts of global growth nine years in a row and certainly the rumour is they're about to do it again," he said.
Beyond China, Mr Rogoff said there was a good deal of uncertainty in the world over issues such as whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will win the US presidential election.
He argued it was difficult to judge what Mr Trump would do if he won, and that a victorious Mrs Clinton might have her plans for infrastructure spending, for example, blocked by the Republican House of Representatives.
"I am certainly nervous, probably much more about a Trump victory, just because of not knowing what's next," Mr Rogoff said.
"I don't like the [protectionist] trade policies of either candidate. I think free trade has benefitted the States immensely in its leadership position. So watching as an economist, this has been a painful election."
Brexit impact
Mr Rogoff said it was unclear what the impact of Brexit would be on the UK economy as it was not yet possible to define the trade model that would be agreed or judge how well the European economy would be performing at the time Britain leaves the European Union.
Despite praising the Bank of England's pro-active response to the referendum result, Mr Rogoff said that central banks were in an increasingly invidious position.

"Monetary policy has its limits - it is not a panacea," he said.
"It is a little bit the fault of central bankers for allowing themselves to take too much credit when things are good, and [then] getting blamed too much when things are bad.
"But monetary policy doesn't make an ageing economy young, it doesn't make an economy which is having little innovation suddenly innovate, it doesn't make an economy with a Zombie banking sector somehow miraculously healthy.
"I have a concern about monetary policy at the moment - that it is being asked to take on roles that it's not built for. It is being asked to do helicopter money where you just print money and hand it out to people.
"In Europe, central banks are buying up a significant proportion of the corporate debt market - that's what you do in China, in India, they're doing that in Japan also.
"There are all sorts of other pressures and I worry in the long run that central banks are losing their independence."

Samsung delays restarting sales of its Galaxy Note 7 in S Korea www.bbc.com

Samsung has said it will delay restarting the sale of its Galaxy Note 7 phone in South Korea, as the firm needs more time for the global recall of the device.
The South Korean tech giant was forced to recall some 2.5 million devices globally due to overheating batteries.
Dozens of devices were reported to have caught fire.
The phone was to be back on the shelf on 28 September but is now expected to be available 1 October at the earliest.
On 2 September Samsung had said it would stop selling the phones and offered to replace the ones already sold. The firm also urged people to stop using the device.
The global recall affects 10 markets. In South Korea, some 200,000 customers have already returned their devices with the same number of people still left for the recall, according to Samsung.
Reuters reported that the next markets where the phone will be available for sale again will be Australia and Singapore in October.
In the US, regulators have ordered a formal recall of the phones, while the country's Federal Aviation Administration has told airline passengers not to bring the phones on planes unless they keep them turned off and don't charge them during the flight.
A number of airlines around the globe have also banned the phone from being used or charged on their planes.
The phone was originally launched on 19 August and had been generally well-received by critics and consumers.
The recall comes at a crucial time for Samsung as rival Apple has just released its new iPhone 7.
