China’s Nickel-Ore Supply Seen Lasting 6 Months After Ban.
Chinese mills that rely on low-grade ore from Indonesia to produce nickel pig iron, a substitute for the refined metal, have built stockpiles to last about six months, a Bloomberg News survey shows.
Inventory at factory warehouses and ports is almost 29 million metric tons, enough to sustain output at last year’s pace until July, according to the average of nine projections from smelters, miners, traders and analysts based in China. That compares with about 32 million tons estimated by Macquarie Group Ltd. Small and medium-sized plants have enough material to last three to four months, the respondents said.
The global nickel market may swing into a deficit next year after Indonesia, the biggest producer of the mined metal, restricted shipments starting Jan. 12, Macquarie and Barclays Plc predict.

We have yet another Thomas Friedman column in which America’s Most Besotted Sinophile tries anew to convince us that the Chinese are all-knowing, and all-wise, while Americans are hopeless and clueless.
The column tries to imagine what a Chinese cable from the United States would look like if it were leaked by the likes of Julian Assange. One imagines that the Chinese Politburo collectively hopes and prays to whatever gods it acknowledges that its diplomats are not as insipid as Thomas Friedman makes them out to be. Let’s go to the tape: Washington Embassy, People’s Republic of China, to Ministry of Foreign Affairs Beijing, TOP SECRET/Subject: America today.Things are going well here for China.

During the dinner’s musical interlude and following a duet with American jazz musician Herbie Hancock, Chinese pianist Lang Lang treated the assembled dignitaries to a solo of what he described as “a Chinese song: ‘My Motherland.’”
(You can watch this on YouTube.) The Chinese delegation was clearly delighted: Chinese President and Communist Party chief Hu Jintao, stone-faced for many of his other photo ops in Washington, beamed with pleasure upon hearing the melody and embraced Lang Lang at the song’s conclusion (see it on YouTube too). President Obama, for his part, amiably praised Lang Lang for his performance and described the event as "an extraordinary evening. " Insulting China.

China ups ante in conflict with Japan with new air defense ID zone. BEIJING -- Upping the gamesmanship with Japan over disputed East China Sea waters, China said Saturday it had established an air defense identification zone that would allow its military to take “emergency defensive measures” against unidentified aircraft.
The Chinese Defense Ministry said that aircraft flying through the zone would be required to identify themselves and implied that those in violation could be shot down. To underscore the threat, the air force conducted its first patrol at 10 a.m. Saturday, using two reconnaissance planes accompanied by early-warning aircraft and fighter jets "providing support and cover. " China insisted that the establishment of the zone wouldn’t impede normal commercial air traffic. "The patrol is in line with international common practices, and the normal flight of international flights will not be affected," Shen Jinke, a spokesman for the Peoples Liberation Army air force, was quoted telling the state press.
China eyeing contentious air defense zone in East China Sea: paper.

The nation's top leaders had not reached a consensus on expanding pilot trials of property taxes in the near future, despite assertions made at the third plenum that fiscal and tax reforms would be accelerated, according to a senior researcher who has long been involved in the nation's reform planning.

Liu Shangxi, vice-director of the finance ministry's Institute of Fiscal Science, said yesterday that the government would expand the scope of consumption taxes as well as add ones on resources and environmental use.
"But there's no clear conclusion on the property tax right now," Liu said. "Predicting when a property tax will be levied is like fortune-telling right now.

BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Days after the terrorist attack in Tian'anmen Square which killed two civilians and injured another 40, the United States' refusal to acknowledge it as a terrorist attack laid in plain sight a double standard on terrorism.

Could the attackers responsible for a deadly assault on the heart of the Chinese capital on Oct. 28 have been motivated by revenge? That is the theory offered up by a former local official from the hometown of Usmen Hasan, the man identified by the Chinese police as the driver of a car that struck and killed two tourists before going up in flames at Tiananmen Square.
