[size=3]Chinese companies are calling for a new charities law in the wake of the [u]devastating[/u] earthquake in Sichuan to allow them to set up private foundations, a move that could open up space for civil society in China.[/size]#hQS:~&h&Zs

[size=3]China’s new generation of wealthy [u]entrepreneurs[/u] have made [u]substantial[/u] [u]philanthropic[/u] donations in recent years. However, under current [u]regulations[/u], private [u]charitable[/u] foundations and non-governmental organisations can be established only in partnership with a government department.[/size]

[size=3]The ministry of civil affairs has for several years beenworking on a law to clear the way for companies to registerfoundations, but the bill has been held up by political [u]disputes[/u] over the level of freedom to be given to private charities.[/size]

[size=3]“Companies that want to donate are not supported by thesystem yet,” said Zhang Xin, chief executive of Soho China, aBeijing-based real estate developer. “We need this mechanism so thatcompanies which have the ability can actually do it.”[/size]
IY.B^x U [size=3]Soho, which has gone through the complicated process of establishing a foundation with a government agency, recently held a [u]seminar[/u]with other companies and interested observers to discuss the subject.The law had not progressed because other issues had taken priority but,since the earthquake, “it has become a big deal”, Ms Zhang said.[/size]
r ^At!_ X3r:c .y{,hretA0Q
[size=3]Chinese entrepreneurs made substantial [u]donations[/u]after the earthquake last month, but most of the money was handed overto a small group of government-run charities that have been criticisedfor a lack of transparency on how they spend their funds. The donationswere part of an [u]unprecedented[/u] wave of civic activism after thequake, which included tens of thousands of volunteers travelling to theregion to help survivors.[/size]

[size=3]In recent weeks, the issue of Tehran’s nuclear programme has gained [u]prominence[/u] as [u]speculation[/u] has mounted about a possible Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.[/size]0L(G#wJ+[b;C

Y9t:z&D,I*R |xs h [size=3]But European countries have been reluctant to [u]endorse[/u] new sanctions banning fresh investment in Iran’s energy [u][color=red]sector[/color][/u], an idea [u][color=red]mooted[/color][/u]by Mr Obama’s supporters. Some European states are preoccupied bydependence on Russian gas and want to have Iran as an optionalalternative. [/size]\,`&H9cfu4Ny:b

[size=3]European Union diplomats also reject suggestions thatthe world’s big powers should water down their  conditions for startingnegotiations on Iran’s nuclear [u][color=red] dispute[/color][/u].

[size=3]Mr Obama and his advisers stress the Democratic candidate’s readiness to sit down with Iranian leaders without  conditions.[/size]

[size=3]Mr Lake [u][color=red]depicted[/color][/u]the  Democratic candidate as a tough-minded realist rather than ananti-war politician. “When I joined the campaign, I remember askingsomeone at the very beginning: ‘Is this a protest campaign or apresidential campaign?’” he said, before insisting that the answer wasclearly the latter.

t}SY2T [size=3]He stressed that Mr Obama, even after withdrawing troops from Iraq over 16 months as he has promised, would maintain “a [u][color=red]residual[/color][/u]presence for clearly defined missions”. These would include militarytraining, and “preparedness to go back in if there are specific acts ofgenocidal violence”. [/size]6g`a pvX1de$h

[size=3]Highlighting a parallel with his first posting asassistant to Henry Cabot Lodge, a US ambassador in 1960s Saigon, hesaid: “It is common sense that we could not leave Vietnam successfullyunless we left behind a government in Saigon that could governsuccessfully.[/size]

[size=3]The target of his criticism is John McCain, Mr Obama’s [u][color=red]rival[/color][/u], whom Mr Lake [u][color=red]accused[/color][/u]of “saying we will win by 2013 without defining what winning is” – areference to a speech in which the Republican candidate predicted thatby that date the US would welcome home most of its soldiers from Iraqand Afghanistan.[/size]6}OXi~^8Q

[size=3]Mr Lake was also [u][color=red]markedly[/color][/u] less [u][color=red]enthusiastic[/color][/u] than Mr McCain about the US’s stricken civil nuclear deal with India, which has been [u][color=red]hobbled[/color][/u] by internal Indian opposition. “I don’t know how you [u][color=red]resuscitate[/color][/u] something that is dead there [in New Delhi], if it is in fact dead there,” he said.

Q:}q-g;s-Y1UbgB5u [size=3]Mr Lake was [u][color=red]sympathetic[/color][/u] to aspects of Mr McCain’s idea of a League of Democracies, one of the centrepieces of the Republican’s foreign policy plans. [/size]

[size=3]Stressing that he had not spoken to Mr Obama about it,he backed the general idea of a grouping that was “not an anti-Russiandevice but an effort to find ways for the democracies to act togetheron issues of defence of our common values . . . specifically on issueswhen the UN can’t act”.[/size]

[size=3]Even that notion might be difficult to [u][color=red]digest[/color][/u] for European countries wary of offending Moscow or seeming to [u][color=red]sidestep[/color][/u] the UN. But as Mr Lake’s words indicate, Mr Obama could yet be a demanding partner for the rest of the world. [/size]

[font=Arial][size=14pt]The SAG is a surprising organisation. It has 120,000 members when, according to the US government, there are only 70,000 actors in the US. This may explain its aggression. It is easier to take a Spartacus-like stand and go on strike from a job you do not have. [/size][/font]F^*U+O&xl
[font=Arial][size=14pt][/size][/font] %nY#V*l&g%pa;`
[font=Arial][size=14pt]Studios, however, have benefited disproportionately from the growth of DVDs because royalties are so low. Actors do not want online distribution to go the same way. This will matter most for the SAG’s burger-flipping members whose relatively modest incomes from acting depend particularly on royalties. But perhaps the SAG should seek a short-term deal until the rewards of online distribution become clear.[/size][/font]3jRJ_:sfkK

However, actors and studios should both beware: they cannot assume that consumers deprived of films will remain loyal. This episode of Star Wars needs a happy ending soon.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=3]He also thanked Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez, who this year failed to broker a deal with the Farc for the release of Ms Betancourt, although he secured the release of six other hostages. Mr Chávez, who in the past suggested the Farc be taken off terrorist lists, recently called on it to [b][color=#99ccff]disarm[/color][/b], saying there was no room for armed [b][color=#99ccff]insurgencies[/color][/b] in Latin America.[/size][/font].~q'u:XPr/l6A+Ff0d2Y

[size=3]The current target is to [b][color=#00b0f0]derive[/color][/b] 2.5 per cent of the UK’s transport fuels from biofuels this year, doubling by 2010.

[size=3]Nearly 80 per cent of senior executives at small and medium-size US manufacturing companies are pessimistic about the prospects for economic growth, according to a [b][color=#00b0f0]survey[/color][/b] to be published on Wednesday. [b][color=#00b0f0]Attitudes[/color][/b] within the sector towards the benefits of globalisation have also [b][color=#00b0f0]deteriorated[/color][/b] markedly since last year . [/size]#D/UWwv

W/_Y-EF)Hm)H(] [size=3]The report by RSM McGladrey, the consultancy, suggests the outlook for the US economy may be even [b][color=#00b0f0]gloomier[/color][/b] than expected. Manufacturing has so far held up better than the service sector: US manufacturers [b][color=#00b0f0]defied[/color][/b] bearish forecasts last month by [b][color=#00b0f0]boosting[/color][/b] production for the first time since January, the Institute for Supply Management said last week.[/size]

-i(k1vx5_-Q$_}w2o [size=3]Much of this was down to the [b][color=#00b0f0]resilience[/color][/b] of companies that employ fewer than 2,000 workers. They account for about 40 per cent of US manufacturing production and make up 99 per cent of the country’s manu facturers, according to the National Association of Manufacturers.[/size]y&GH;{qR[3KY
[size=3][/size]
cn!M*@(K:i;d:|F [size=3]However, the McGladrey report suggests the sector is [b][color=#00b0f0]bracing[/color][/b] for worsening conditions. Fewer than 40 per cent of respondents said their businesses were “[b][color=#00b0f0]thriving[/color][/b] and growing” – down by 10 per cent from last year and 19 per cent from 2006. Meanwhile, the [b][color=#00b0f0]proportion[/color][/b] who said their businesses were “[b][color=#00b0f0]declining[/color][/b]” has tripled in the past two years.[/size]

2{!]^;@ qXU@[ [size=3]Worryingly, the report indicates that small and mid-size manufacturers are retreating from the global economy just as large manufacturers, such as [b][url=http://markets.ft.com/tearsheets/performance.asp?s=us:GE][color=blue][size=11.0pt]General Electric[/size][/color][/url][/b], [b][url=http://markets.ft.com/tearsheets/performance.asp?s=us:CAT][color=blue][size=11.0pt]Caterpillar[/size][/color][/url][/b] and [b][url=http://markets.ft.com/tearsheets/performance.asp?s=us:DE][color=blue][size=11.0pt]Deere,[/size][/color][/url][/b] have offset falling sales at home by increasing market share internationally on the back of growth in emerging economies and the weak dollar.

[size=3]More than half of the senior executives surveyed – up 10 per cent from 2007 – said globalisation had neither lowered their costs nor improved their margins, while the proportion of respondents moving production or services offshore had declined by 20 per cent during the past year.

[size=3]“The global playing field is different today than it was even a year ago,” said Tom Murphy, the report’s main author. “The savings you generate by producing products with lower labour costs are more than eaten up by the higher energy costs to transport it back to the US.” [/size]G}&M#LY{*p9B5zE/`
