La presidenta de Costa Rica Laura Chinchilla Miranda deseó vínculos económicos y comerciales más estrechos entre China y su país, durante su encuentro mantenido el lunes con el alcalde de la ciudad oriental china de Shanghai, Han Zheng. Chinchilla, que llegó el domingo a este centro económico de China para realizar una visita de estado de ocho días de duración al país asiático, sostuvo que Costa Rica podría ser una plataforma logistica para las compañías chinas en el hemisferio cccidental. Costa Rica espera expandir su cooperación con Shanghai en materia de inversión, comercio, energía limpia, educación y turismo, dijo Chinchilla a Han, subrayando la posición de su país, abundantes recursos humanos y acuerdos de libre comercio con principales economías del mundo, incluida China. El mandataria costarriqueña también se comprometió a mejorar la política de visado para atraer a turistas chinos. Por su parte, Han elogió los actuales lazos comerciales entre Costa Rica y China, cuyo volumen de comercio bilateral se situó en 1.200 millones de dólares en 2011, un aumento del 50 por ciento respecto al año anterior. Chinchilla saldrá el martes de Shanghai para Beijing, capital china, donde mantendrá conversaciones con el presidente chino Hu Jintao y se reunirá por separado con el presidente del Comité Permanente de la Asamblea Popular Nacional Wu Bangguo, el primer ministro Wen Jiabao y el vicepresidente Xi Jinping.

10 Ways China Is Changing The World - Article from "Business Insider"
Mamta Badkar | Jul. 6, 2012
China's massive shale gas boom could cause gas prices to plunge, which could derail American's energy boom
Over the past 20 years, China has experienced incredible growth.
It is now the second largest economy in the world. Despite its recent slowdown, it continues to be one of the fastest growing economies the world.
Experts expect the country to overtake the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the next 15 years.
Obviously, its size is having tremendous ripple effects across the world.
What's more, it sets on vast resources that have the ability to tilt the entire global commodities markets.
Finally, the country also has a reputation for engaging in large-scale shady practices that have forced the rest of the world to rethink how they manage security and protect intellectual property.
We put together some of the key ways in which China is impacting the global economy, politics and culture.
China's massive shale gas boom could cause gas prices to plunge, which could derail American's energy boom
Earlier this year PetroChina announced a shale gas discovery in the southern Sichuan province. And late last year state-owned China National Petroleum Corp. announced the discovery of shale gas reserves in at least 20 locations, with each able to produce over 10,000 cubic meters of gas per day.
China's dominance in rare earths commodities is disrupting the supply chain for hi-tech products
China accounts for 97 percent of the world's production of 17 rare earth metals and has been tightening export restrictions (by raising taxes and lowering quotas). The move prompted the EU, U.S. and Japan to file a complaint with the WTO.
The axis of the auto industry is shifting from the U.S. to China where growth is astronomical
China is the world's largest car market. A report from IHS Automotive projects that annual auto sales in China will grow by 74 percent to over 30.6 million a year by 2020. And it isn't the mere size of the industry.
Chinese cyber espionage have been connected to stolen intellectual property. Cyber attacks threaten national security
Chinese companies like Huwaei technology and ZTE Corp reportedly have the ability to remotely access communications technology sold to the U.S. and other western countries.
China is rapidly developing naval technology that could redefine coastal defense
China is getting a new Littoral ship and its Type 22 Houbei Class is the world's first attack catamaran. Both allow China to launch quick attacks close to shore.
A Chinese ghost city recently popped up in Africa. This could change the visible landscape of the world
China's currency is competing to become a reserve currency, which could threaten the U.S. dollar
China is taking steps to make its currency fully convertible by 2015, and many expect it to become a major reserve currency in the next decade. Many countries have already diversified their Forex reserves to include renminbi. Commodities guru Jim Rogers says having a non-convertible currency is very foolish.
China will soon be the largest economy in the world. Experts can only imagine what that means for neighboring countries and other major economies around the world
China is set to replace the U.S. as the world's biggest economy in the next 15 years. China's economic rise and what some point to as America's economic decline have spurred talks of China emerging as a superpower that would replace the U.S..
For full article:
China is believed to have 1,300 trillion cubic feet of recoverable shale gas, the biggest known reserves, and compared with the 827 trillion cubic feet in the U.S..
Impact: This could be a game changer because it could do away with the need for a pipeline that Canadians were hoping to build to send China their excess gas, it could cause gas prices to plunge and kill the American energy boom, according to Andrew Snyder at Resource Investor.
China's dominance in rare earths commodities is disrupting the supply chain for hi-tech products
China accounts for 97 percent of the world's production of 17 rare earth metals and has been tightening export restrictions (by raising taxes and lowering quotas). The move prompted the EU, U.S. and Japan to file a complaint with the WTO.
Impact: Rare earths are crucial to the hi-tech and defense sectors, and China's restrictions have driven up costs of the metals and cost of production. Critics say that China's decision to curb exports of the metal itself but not products containing the metals, shows that the restrictions are more a move to force manufacturers to move their factories to China.
China's massive population is eating more, which is affecting how agricultural commodities are produced and how they are priced
China has overtaken the U.S. as the world's largest meat consumer. In the past five decades it has gone from consuming 8 million tons of meat, to 71 million tons, over twice as much as the U.S..
Impact: The way the meat is produced will have a major impact on agriculture. The demand for pork, the most widely consumed meat in China, is expected to reach 52 million tons this year. This in turn is changing how pigs are reared and what they are fed.
In feedlots pigs are being fed more grain and soybeans which is increasing demand for those crops and in turn prices. Agricultural trends will directly and indirectly be set by patterns of Chinese consumption.
Other developing countries are adopting China's model of state capitalism, which is an existential threat to Western capitalism
China is the poster child for state capitalism – a form of capitalism in which the state owns companies or acts with companies to undertake economic activities. It is usually characterized by a large number of state owned enterprises.
China is the poster child for state capitalism – a form of capitalism in which the state owns companies or acts with companies to undertake economic activities. It is usually characterized by a large number of state owned enterprises.
Impact: State capitalism as seen in China is starting to pose a real threat to the Western model of capitalism. In the wake of economic crisis in much of the developed world, an increasing number of developing countries are watching to see which is a better model of governance.
What's more? Those that are critical of state capitalism's inability to spur on innovation point to economies like Brazil and India that have actually shown the potential for innovation in state capitalism.
The axis of the auto industry is shifting from the U.S. to China where growth is astronomical
China is the world's largest car market. A report from IHS Automotive projects that annual auto sales in China will grow by 74 percent to over 30.6 million a year by 2020. And it isn't the mere size of the industry.
Impact: The focus of the auto industry is shifting from the U.S. to China with automakers and suppliers now positioning to win the top spot in the Asian giant.
China's importance to the U.S. auto market is evident given the WTO trade complaint the U.S. has filed against China for imposing duties on more than $3 billion in shipments of American vehicles mostly made by General Motors and Chrysler Group. This could be a blow to the U.S. auto industry which is finally recovering.
Chinese cyber espionage have been connected to stolen intellectual property. Cyber attacks threaten national security
Chinese companies like Huwaei technology and ZTE Corp reportedly have the ability to remotely access communications technology sold to the U.S. and other western countries.
Impact: The electronic backdoor capability could allow the Chinese government to access information traveling through telecommunications networks or even sabotage electronic devices, raising national security concerns.
Some also think companies are victim to Chinese cyber-attacks and some say China steals $400 billion worth of information every year.
China is rapidly developing naval technology that could redefine coastal defense
China is getting a new Littoral ship and its Type 22 Houbei Class is the world's first attack catamaran. Both allow China to launch quick attacks close to shore.
Impact: These developments mean that China is now going head-to-head with America's Littoral Combat Ship, one of the country's most expensive and troubled programs. What's more? This ship will allow China patrol its coast and help enforce its exclusive economic zones in disputed waters.
A Chinese ghost city recently popped up in Africa. This could change the visible landscape of the world
That China has ghost towns with literally no people living in it is no surprise. But the country is now exporting its ghost cities, with many popping up in Angola. State-owned China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC) has built Kilamba in Angola.
Impact: Ghost cities, aren't just a Chinese phenomenon. Spain has had its fair share as well. But the ones popping up in Angola have been built by a Chinese state-owned company. Kilamba was financed by the Chinese and Angola is repaying them with oil. Remember, Angola is China's largest oil provider in Africa.
It is likely that we can expect more ghost cities as energy and commodity hungry China continues to grow,
China's currency is competing to become a reserve currency, which could threaten the U.S. dollar
China is taking steps to make its currency fully convertible by 2015, and many expect it to become a major reserve currency in the next decade. Many countries have already diversified their Forex reserves to include renminbi. Commodities guru Jim Rogers says having a non-convertible currency is very foolish.
Impact: If the renminbi were to become a reserve currency it would challenge the greenback's role in trade and pricing of products like commodities that are traded on the global market. It would also allow China to borrow at a cheaper rate.
China will soon be the largest economy in the world. Experts can only imagine what that means for neighboring countries and other major economies around the world
China is set to replace the U.S. as the world's biggest economy in the next 15 years. China's economic rise and what some point to as America's economic decline have spurred talks of China emerging as a superpower that would replace the U.S..
Impact: While global reactions to the rise of the Chinese economy have been positive. The response to growing Chinese military power have been viewed with distrust. In the region China's growing power would impact nations with which it has territorial dispute.

国务院：三年内或规定公务员接待禁食鱼翅
与其要“如此慎重”地出台限制鱼翅消费的规定，不如具体限制每次公务接待的额度和消费内容，越具体越好。
CNTV消息称，国务院机关事务管理局已正式发函，对三十多位人大(微博)代表联合提出的《要求制定禁止公务和官方宴请消费鱼翅规定的建议》表示感谢和支持，并明确说明将发文规定公务接待不得食用鱼翅，近日，国务院机关事务管理局政策法规司相关负责人对此回应称，发函内容属实，并表示有望在三年内发文规定公务接待不得食用鱼翅。
食用鱼翅对鲨鱼的伤害，对环境的破坏已经是民间共识，相关的公益广告也已经在电视这种大众媒体上播出很久。既然针对的是公务消费这么一个与国家政策距离最近的“消费人群”，又是这么一个摆在明面上的道理，为什么还要等上三年之后才能实施？这是很多人不能理解的。不仅如此，即便限制鱼翅的规定真的能在三年内奏效，那么能不能吃熊掌呢？还有不断被人们开掘出来的昂贵的珍稀食材，能不能进入公务接待之中？这更是民众关心的问题。
今年早些时候，温总理在第五次国务院廉政工作会议上强调：禁止用公款购买香烟、高档酒和礼品，清理和规范越野车购置和使用，禁止超标准使用和豪华装修办公室，禁止使用公款搜罗奇花异石和高档艺术品装饰办公区域……用公款购买高档酒，越野车，奇花异石，并将其归结为公务消费，原本是非常荒唐无理的事，之所以需要国务院总理一一强调，说明我们公务消费的奢侈已经习以为常，在这种背景下，与其要“如此慎重”地出台限制鱼翅消费的规定，不如具体限制每次公务接待的额度和消费内容，越具体越好。
2006年，中央曾下发《党政机关国内公务接待管理规定》，要求“不得超标准接待，不得用公款大吃大喝”，各地方部门也都有相关的公务接待标准。但超标公务接待、奢侈公务接待的案例，屡有曝光，每年公务接待费过高的问题除了媒体曝光之后并没有什么惩治之法，问题或许就在于，目前全国尚缺乏公开统一的公务接待标准，对公务接待的规范还没有上升到法律层面，那么，此次限制鱼翅消费也许是类似法规出台的开始？
姑且把它如此理解，那么就还应该考虑，公务接待究竟应该执行什么样的标准？什么样的情况不应该搞公务接待？这些标准越具体越好，越具有操作性，就越能约束公务接待。之前已经有报道，有些国家为公职人员的道德行为进行立法，其中对公职人员接受宴请、礼品等都有非常严格的规定，违反者的仕途可能因为一顿“鱼翅宴”而终止，这样的例子如果在我们公务消费的过程中真正出现几例，限制鱼翅消费这样的法规也就变得给力一些了。
