CNC Interview: China's Two Sessions March 2019

-
China's national legislature and the country's national political advisory body will start their annual sessions next month.

Correspondent from China Xinhua News Network Corporation (CNC) sat down with an Indonesian expert on China to discuss the global significance of China's upcoming two Sessions.

During the interview, Christine Susanna Tjhin said decisions which will be made at this year's two sessions will have a global impact.

Christine Susanna Tjhin , Indonesian Expert in the interview said, "It is actually going to be very important because it is happening during a very momentous time in the global situation especially now the global attention is being directed to the US-China trade war. There are a lot of economic issues the two sessions have to address not just because it is affecting China domestic economies but it affects other countries in the global community."

A draft Foreign Investment Law will be submitted to China's national legislature. Tjhin said the draft shows the country's intention to liberalize its economy further.

"Having this foreign investment draft law is very important in a sense that all this time there have been major concern over China’s commitment to liberalize their economy, especially in terms of allowing foreign investment to thrive together with local investors etc. At the moment the draft law has the potential to increase the process of liberalization in investment in China."

Tjhin said China is aware that green development is crucial for the country and has endorsed sustainable economic development principles for local and overseas investment.

"The government has been very well aware of that. That is why they do pushing a lot of initiatives including for example putting in green belt and road initiative paradigm in the process."

15 Tahun Menunda, Tapi Tidak Lupa (Mei 1998)

15 tahun yang lalu hari ini, sebuah tragedi melumpuhkan nalar dan hati kita di Jakarta. Hari-hari yang paling menakutkan dalam sejarah hidup saya sebagai seorang perempuan Tionghoa di Indonesia, di mana naluri saya terasa terjambak untuk kemudian bertanya secara kritis apa makna menjadi seorang "Indonesia".  Sejujurnya, saya bukan seorang perempuan yang mudah takut. Sebagai seorang siswi di sebuah SMP Katolik di daerah Pecinan, saya sudah terbiasa "tawuran" dan berkelahi dengan lawan jenis yang secara fisik lebih besar dari saya. Tapi 15 tahun lalu, saya mengenal rasa takut yang begitu melumpuhkan. 15 tahun sudah lewat, 15 tahun saya menunda-nunda menulis tentang kejadian saat itu dan tentang timbunan amarah, kesedihan, rasa syukur dan harapan sepanjang 15 tahun ini yang menjadikan saya seperti apa adanya sekarang - dari perempuan Katolik kelas menengah Tionghoa yg memilih menjadi peneliti di thinktank dengan sejarah kontroversial demi Indonesia yg lebih baik....

My piece in Jakarta Post today on what happened to me & family in May 98. Every year each May for the past 18 years I have always wanted to write something meaningful. But I always failed. Never could finish the damn thing. I'm still not sure why. This year I finally did it... Original writing is provided below. JP didn't make much changes - some grammars & few selected words. Printed version can be read here . This is one of two articles I sent to JP.  My family and I are amongst many Chinese Indonesian families, who got attacked and made a very conscious decision to not report it. We had zero faith in Indonesia's system at that time. My family saw no point in reporting other than being harassed again or wringed for cash. They're used to anti Chinese assaults & genuinely were unsurprised that it had happened (or will happen) again. My aunt's stoic answer that night when I asked if she's afraid perplexed me, "Udah biasa, Suk. Mami malah y...

OPINION: (Anti) Corruption in China’s Belt and Road Initiative

Early this year, Laode Syarif, the deputy chief of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), asked the government to be careful with investments from China, citing data from the United States Department of Justice on enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The data show 83 FCPA cases involving conduct in China — more than any other country by far, although it turns out all the cases involved multinational corporations operating in China. “If a European or American investor gets caught bribing officials in a foreign country, they will be punished back home. That doesn’t happen in China, or in Indonesia,” Laode said. That is true, albeit partly. One example is the graft case involving Malaysia’s former prime minister, Najib Razak. While investigation reports on Najib are manifold, we have barely heard news about any investigation in China into the Chinese counterpart who was linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad project or other China-linked projects...
