10 Reason Why Internships In China Is Good For Your Career

October 30, 2012 by Reporter Leave a Comment

China’s nominal GDP puts it at the position of the world’s second largest economy. What’s more, it’s also the world’s largest exporter of goods and the world’s fastest growing major economy. A Chinese internship can put the shine on your career, and here are 10 reasons why that is so.

The Chinese Economy Is Booming

Countries such as the UK and the US are just recovering from depressed economies. People are looking for jobs elsewhere in the world. With its burgeoning economy and technological superiority, China is now poised to offer employment to people from other countries.

China Welcomes Foreign Interns

 

Due to major industrial expansion, China has plenty of jobs that need people to fill them. Interns work very well for this purpose, from an economic perspective. As a result, China welcomes foreign interns and offers them great training and job opportunities while ensuring economic manpower for its own industries.

China Offers Both Business Opportunity And Chilled Lifestyle

Chinese companies are willing to share their knowledge and skills with interns, and act as stepping stones to further their careers. As a country, China is fascinating, from a cultural, linguistic and social perspective. Even though the country is steeped in eastern wisdom, it is modern, western and open to other cultures.

A China Internship Opens The Doors To Global Employment

China offers overseas experience that’s welcome in most countries, and also a healthy job market for interns who opt for a career in China. An intern’s future employability increases due to the job skills, knowledge and linguistic flexibility that a Chinese internship program offers.

Chinese-Interned Students Obtain Several Additional Advantages

Foreign students who intern in China have to learn how to live and survive in an alien culture. This makes them more flexible, more resilient, more innovative, adaptable, courageous and outgoing. This also increases their confidence and self-esteem. All these qualities are highly prized by employers worldwide.

Several Companies Facilitate Internship Opportunities

In the recent past, Chinese internship has taken off like a rocket. You’ll find several companies facilitating internship opportunities in top Chinese businesses for a fee. Shanghai and Beijing are two top locations where interns can find suitable internships and even jobs through internship-facilitating organizations.

Many Internship Companies Offer Total Orientation Training

Internship facilitators provide orientation programs for interns to learn about Chinese culture and learn the language. These companies are aware of the extra effort that interns have to put in, in order to survive in China. As a result, they go out of their way to help with orientation programs that help interns settle down.

An Internship In China Helps Build Character

For interns, this is a great opportunity to learn about a new culture and add to their world knowledge. A Chinese internship opens their minds and helps them process information differently. A Chinese internship offers an once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience overseas travel and see a whole different world.

US Colleges Offer Academic Credit For Chinese Internship

US colleges used to offer academic credit for student internships in UK, Canada, Israel and Australia. Now they offer academic credit for Chinese internships as well. What’s more, business schools and colleges encourage Chinese internship, given that China is the world’s second biggest economy.

A Number Of Global Companies Operate In China

Some of the top US companies operate in China and even have offices there. Examples include Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, KPMG and others. Several corporate biggies have tie-ups with China as well. This means interns have the opportunity to find employment in the Chinese establishments of top global corporates as well.

Has the “Age of cyber war arrived”

June 4, 2012 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Israel has admitted that it uses cyberspace to attack its enemies and reports in the  NYTIMES  have confirmed that  US was also a part of the STUXNET infiltration (a worm that infiltrated industrial systems of the German company Siemens, apparently to disrupt uranium enrichment in Iran.)of  Iran’s sensitive Nuclear programme.

A Israeli website said it was “for the first time” revealing a document recently written by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Operations Department, detailing the goals and methods of its cyber warfare.

The website said it had been using cyberspace for intelligence gathering and “will” also use it “to execute attacks” and “clandestine” operations.

Australia Vulnerable to Cyber attacks

The chief executive of security firm Kaspersky Lab has warned that Australia cannot defend itself from the rising tide of cyber attacks from ­foreign powers, the best of which come from Russia and China. Mr Kaspersky said Russian malware continued to be the world’s best at attacking systems and it was largely created by criminal gangs

2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline Master Index

List of cyber attack trends

History of major cyber attacks

A report in The New York Times by David E. Sanger, based on the book Confront and Conceal: Obama’s Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power, published, said American President Barack Obama ordered the computer virus program, begun during the Bush administration, be ramped up.

Eugene Kaspersky chief executive of security firm Kaspersky Lab  said “Most attacks come from China and most criminal malware is written in Chinese. “The second most used language is Portuguese . . . and that’s most probably Brazil. “The third most popular language is Russian, which means it comes from Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Baltic countries.”

The statement comes immediately  after one of  the world’s top virus-hunting agencies  Kapersky said it discovered a virus codenamed Flame on computers in Iran and several Middle East countries.

Kaspersky Lab compared Flame to Duqu and Stuxnet, two other virus programs that targeted Iran.

virus software malware cyber war china russia us

This Advanced Malicious Virus was designed to carry out cyber espionage by stealing images, audio conversations and other data, and had been in use for more than two years( since 2010) in the open without being noticed.

Flame targets computers running the Windows operating system and apparently spreads through infected thumb drives, websites and manipulated emails.

The Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab said most infections (189) were found in Iran, and, although other infections (98) were also found in Israel.

Media reports from kapersky  have reported that China  and Russia are the originators of the most cyber attacks (including state sponsored) and viurs attacks on computers.

The good Black stuff that everyone wants– Coal

December 22, 2011 by Reporter Leave a Comment

India and china  have been scouring the Australian shores for good deals  on acquisitions this past year for  our gold in black , coking coal and thermal coal resources. Australia is  one of the world’s largest miner  and exporter of coal. Prices for coking coal, used to make steel, may rise 50 percent next year to $291 a metric ton.

Rising demand in China and India for their energy needs has pushed mergers and acquisitions globally to a record $34.5 billion this year, with 192 companies acquired .

The possible  combination of Whitehaven Coal Ltd. and Aston Resources Ltd. could create a giant of a company valued at A$5.1 billion ($5.1 billion).

International coal consumption is projected to climb by an annual 2.8 percent in the six years to 2016 due to rising demand to feed power  generation stations and steel mills in China and India.

Deals and acquisitions In coal sector

Yanzhou was China’s biggest takeover of an Australian company with the A$3.1 billion acquisition of Felix Resources Ltd. in 2009.

Yanzhou Coal Mining Co., China’s fourth-biggest producer, plans to buy Gloucester Coal Ltd. for at least $2 billion.

International Coal Ventures Ltd., a group of Indian state- backed companies formed to buy overseas coal assets, is one of  the bidders for Aquila Resources Ltd.’s Washpool coal mine in Australia

Peabody Energy Corp.’s impending  $4 billion takeover of Macarthur Coal Ltd.

coal-mining- thermal coal india

New Hope Corp., with a market value of A$4.7 billion, said last month  is said to be in talks with several bidders.

Tata, India’s largest business group  or JSW Steel Ltd. another large Indian steel company could possibly bid for the miner to secure thermal- coal mines.

Cockatoo Coal Ltd., with a market value of A$376 million, is another possible target.

Carabella, which has a market value of A$155 million, said in October that it had received “several unsolicited expressions of interest” in its Grosvenor West project in Queensland

Rising Prices of coking coal & thermal coal

Global imports of thermal coal may increase 5.2 percent next year to 581 million tons led by gains in India, Australia’s bureau said and analysts are predicting gains in price for coking and thermal coal  and also and increase in imports from the major growing economies.

The value of  Australian mining companies has fallen to the lowest since July 2010, dropping 35 precent from a high this year creating a  very attractive price factor for takeovers and mergers in this sector.

The ugly scourge of inflation plays with Australia , China and India

August 19, 2011 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has been heading higher over recent months. During the three months to June 2011, headline inflation was recorded at 0.9% in comparison, property values across the combined capital cities fell by -1.5%. Inflation has become a prime concern now for fast growing economies like  India,  China but also developed economies like AUSTRALIA

Inflation and  Australia sectors

 

 india china Inflation farming australia

There are sev eral ways in which inflation can be measured. The most common is by reference to a consumer price index (CPI) which measures the changes in prices of a basket of goods and services purchased by a representative set of households. The CPI is a narrow measure of inflation and does not measure changes in the prices of other goods and service.  A much broader indicator of inflation is provided by the GDP deflator, and this is the much more popular  inflation measure used.

Some countries calculate their volume estimates of government consumption by deflating their current price estimates using representative input price indexes, while others weight together output indicators for services provided by hospitals, schools, etc.

In india Government data Tuesday showed July inflation at 9.22% from a year earlier and authorities warn it would hover between 9% and 10% till December. Economists widely predict a further 0.50 percentage point increase by next March as inflation is above the central bank’s comfort level.

The inflation rate in India was last reported at 8.62 percent in June of 2011. From 1969 until 2010, the average inflation rate in India was 7.99 percent reaching an historical high of 34.68 percent in September of 1974 and a record low of -11.31 percent in May of 1976

China and inflation

China’s annual housing inflation quickened in July for the second straight month this year, official data, keeping up pressure on Beijing to rein in the red-hot property sector.Many international and chinese economists have warned that a bursting of a property bubble is the biggest risk facing the world’s second-largest economy in the medium to long term.

In this short term period, rising house prices are driving up China’s consumer inflationdangerously, which accelerated to 6.5% in the year to July from June’s 6.4%. China’s average new home prices rose 4.3% in July from a year earlier, an uptick from an annual rise of 4.2% in June and 4.1% in May

Carbon Tax Reporting from Australia

July 13, 2011 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Like it or not, the carbon tax is here to stay. At least the Australian government is made it much easier for the people to  accept the carbon tax  with compensating people  with tax cuts  to make up for the rsie in some expenses due to the carbon tax.

Reform done good is definitely much more acceptable as can be seen by the way the Australian people and economists and analysts  have received the new carbon tax. Much more reforms are promised by the Julia Gillard government  whereby  it will  encourage stay at home moms to come take part in the workforce  without getting penalized by more taxes.

The lines are drawn with the nobel prize

December 11, 2010 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Chinese pro-democracy activist, Liu Xiaobo, is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize amid controversy between pro and anti-China supporters.

For the first time since 1936, the Nobel peace prize could not be presented today either to its laureate or, as the prize rules require, to a close relative.  “No medal or diploma will be presented today,” the committee’s chairman, Thorbjorn Jagland as the prize winner is unable to attend.

China, drawing on its growing economic clout in the world, has mounted a campaign  to encourage countries to boycott the ceremony. China declared that the “vast majority” of nations would boycott but the Norwegian award committee said two-thirds of those invited would attend. Among the countries not attending were Russia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Pakistan, Serbia, Iraq, Vietnam, Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, Sudan, Cuba, Morocco and Algeria.


According to the Nobel Institute, 44 embassies have accepted invitations and 19 have refused “for various reasons”, while two have not replied. Ukraine and the Philippines had at first declined their invitations, but Nobel Institute director Geir Lundestad said Thursday they had changed their minds. Serbia, which had initially refused the invitation, said Thursday it would be sending a representative after all. Russia, which signed trade agreements with China last month worth 8.5 billion dollars, has officially pleaded prior engagements for its absence.

The  non attending  versus the attending  definetly indicates or gives us an idea where  the line is drawn and who ( country ) stands where  if   a situation arises , similar to what Kevin Rudd said recently as disclosed in the wikileaks.org  “ preparing to deploy force if everything goes wrong” .

The obvious variables to consider are alliance patterns, regime type, trade with/aid from China, proximity to Beijing, and maybe a corruption measure. That said, if you look at the list of all foreign embassies in Oslo, there are some interesting questions to ask. Why is Thailand attending but not the Philippines? Why is Colombia joining Venezuela in not attending? Why is Vietnam, an enduring rival of China, allying with China on this issue?

Embassies are not required to explain why they accept or decline a Nobel invitation, but a senior Filipino diplomat spoke candidly, underlining China’s growing power, especially in Asia.

“We do not want to further annoy China,” he said.

India plans to attend the ceremonyat which the Nobel Peace Prize is to be presented to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, Foreign Minister SM Krishna said Thursday. New Delhi is disregarding Beijing’s request for an international boycott of the event

Nominated for his “long and nonviolent struggle for fundamental human rights in China“, Liu, a 54-year-old critic and writer, is serving an 11-year prison sentence for inciting subversion after coauthoring Charter 08, an appeal for democratic reform. His wife, Liu Xia, has been under house arrest since the award was announced last month. Liu is married, but has no children. His wife has remained under police surveillance at the couple’s home in central Beijing since her husband was imprisoned.

It was the first time that a laureate under detention had not been formally represented since Nazi Germany barred pacifist Carl von Ossietzky from attending in 1935. Several jailed or detained laureates since had been represented by family but China did not allow anyone near Liu to travel to Oslo

China appeared to have blocked Western news websites, including the BBC and CNN, and state media made no mention of the ceremony, aside from a statement condemning the prize Ref ( http://tvnz.co.nz/nobel )
