Look at the financial crisis at a time when national security

Crisis, a crisis of this, he's the opportunity. What is your enemy in a certain time of weak attack. The Mumbai Taj Mahal Hotel, with more than 100-year-old is India's most nationalistic one of the symbolic building. In 1903, Tata family built the hotel, is to resist the Mumbai hotel was the best of "white supremacy" policy of discrimination. Shu Liao, the end of the colonial status of India in half a century after the Anglo-American business in general has become the target of attack. Mumbai to visit the Fortune 500 company CEO's more than staying at the Taj Mahal hotel. Here are this city's most expensive restaurants and nightclubs, overlooking the Arabian Sea. The only available alternative is to choose the Oberoi Hotel. And this week, three-night about 9:30, just in the two high-end hotels have taken place in terrorist attacks. As of Friday during the day, including the police, about 119 people were killed, 288 people were injured, at least 6 foreigners killed, including Australia, Britain, Japan and Italy each one. It is reported that the two terrorists on the landmark five-star hotels of the attacks targeted foreigners, especially the U.S. and British passport holders. Of Mumbai, has become a target of terrorist attacks is not the first time. In March 1993, 13 organized 257 people were killed in an explosion caused. In March 2003, along with the train bombings killing 11 people. In the same year in August, two car bomb explosions killed at least 52 people were killed. The most recent was in July 2006, the railway different locations on the outskirts of 7 bomb blast led to the 200 people killed. However, the impact of these attacks and the consequences can not be compared with this time. Pessimistically, this incident will be suspended as an international financial center Mumbai in the process. In recent years, Wall Street's big brothers have been optimistic about Mumbai as South Asia, of course, the financial center. Expanding their operations in Mumbai, to strengthen control. Morgan Stanley spent only on the acquisition of 425,000,000 U.S. dollars in its local joint venture partner JM Financial Ltd.. Hao Shizhe in both India and China will be the dragon as competitive analysis, because of their human capital Mumbai and IT services sector's competitiveness in the financial services sector in the development of unique natural advantages. Mumbai and even good people can expect in the near future with the Hong Kong and Singapore rivals. Shots together, all empty into. Was before the attacks, Mumbai has been dragged down by the global financial crisis, Citigroup's headquarters in Mumbai several investment banking and corporate lending, the bank will be laid off. Mumbai's financial district real estate intermediary business to a halt. According to a particular data brokers, in October this year, housing sales and rental prices were lower than the same period last year, a decrease of 20%. According to the Hotel Association of India, Mumbai, on both 9, 10, the average hotel occupancy rate of 60% or less, as the financial industry to do business hotel occupancy rate fell most dramatically. In dollar terms, the Bombay Sensex stock index since January 8 this year has dropped by 66%, the Stock Exchange that is located in the attacks. This incident, in India there is no business of multinational companies can not occur frequently in the business of the place, causing injuries to life and business people worried about terrorist attacks, tourism has become the ones to suffer the fish in the moat. It is reported that the day Thursday, many of the major multinational companies in Mumbai is an inventory of staff. Microsoft recommends that employees work at home. Disney canceled or simply postponed to Mumbai and other parts of India's official travel, the closure of the Mumbai office, asked nearly 200 local employees not to go downtown, as far as possible and stay with their families. Japanese companies in Mumbai have also taken similar measures. After the attack, booming stock market, bond and foreign exchange, money markets and commodity markets closed. Let the terrorists in the Mumbai hotel the best run, the international community to question the Indian government control of national security. Jiu Yu and participate in the South Asian Association for some of the great powers even more rare to find a pretext. After the attack, in addition to the U.S. State Department spokesman strongly condemned, but also lost no time in the "India stands ready to lend a helping hand." U.S. ties to Pakistan's recent words and deeds, geo-political atmosphere in South Asia. More troublesome is that security issues will be inhibitors, so that those optimistic about re-examine Mumbai's weak infrastructure. In the past, over a hundred Jun ugly now may be the other way around. Spread affected the entire Indian economy is also expected to be re-estimates. The current situation, India's economy to maintain double-digit growth rate is very difficult. Due to weak public finances, or next year's economic growth rate fell to 5%. At this point, if we consider safe, including a combination of factors, all of a sudden withdrawal of external funding, FDI (foreign direct investment) for the break. India's expanding current account deficit will hit big trouble. TV reporter photographed on the beach near the hotel several yellow and white rubber boats, the police said the attackers are rubber boats means of transport. Quietly in the night close to the goal of the ship reminds me of the "sea wolves." Only this time the surprise attack is a developing country's national security and economic security.

North Korea is not only the world financial crisis


Originated in the United States into second loan crisis sweeping through the world financial crisis, followed by the first amplification of the road map, we will no longer be a long-winded. In short, there are pockets of U.S. surplus grain around the world have all the benefits of eating porridge has a tried; the United States is now a cold, we have to follow cough, also apparently in line with the logic of cause and effect link. 1 If the world was on hand patting dare to look at the financial crisis of a joke, then it can only be a Korean. As a matter of fact. North Korea's economy insulated from the impact of financial crisis, for it, the Jing Shi breeze as if the Holocaust had ears. Why would they do that? 2 We know that from the 1950s onwards, largely on North Korea in a state of isolation. Not only politically and in foreign countries (especially the Western capitalist countries) dealing with economic policy is to adopt a closed-door policy. Does not export to foreign products (estimated to be no export) and little to buy foreign products (Of course, money is also one of the reasons). This paradise-like state of China have experienced, such as the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the reform and opening-up before the Cultural Revolution era. We eat enough of it brought about the pros, and that is poverty, ignorance and backwardness. I would like to, and open economy, it's the only advantage is that when shocks occur economies in the world, it can keep aloof of the state. 3 Now that the benefits of the Korean people are enjoying. However, this does not enviable. 4 Not affected by financial crisis on the Korean what is now a problem? According to the website of the United Nations reported that North Korea is a long-term food shortages, and in August of last year's floods has been more emphasis on this issue. In 2007, North Korea's grain output was 3,000,000 tons, lower than the previous year by 25% since 2001, North Korea suffered a severe drought since the worst harvest in a year. UN Food and Agriculture Organization predicts North Korea will be food shortages this year, 1,660,000 tons more than in 2007, up nearly doubled since 2001, the largest gap since the grain a year. Pyongyang's recent grain prices since 2004 has reached the highest since record, the price of rice to North Korea in 2000 yuan per kilogram, while in April last year to 700-900 million North Korea; pork at current prices for 5500 of the Korean yuan per kilogram. North Korea per capita monthly wage is about 6,000 yuan North Korea - that is to say, hard to do a month of the Korean workers, their wages can buy one kilogram of pork. As a result, the Korean economy does not exist "winter". Because it is always winter. 5 During the financial crisis in the world to have taken place in a number of similar crises. Every time given the global economy caused great shock and loss. So on the one economist was asked: Why not introduce a system to solve this problem once and for all? Experts say this: If we let the house in possession of a child learning to walk him, then he most likely will not be wrestling all his life. The problem is wrestling to resolve once and for all, but how to survive and develop? In fact, is derived from the financial crisis now appears to be a failure of innovative financial products. Like all scientific experiments, the test will be financial failures. Therefore, a similar crisis took place only in innovation allowed to give a great new living space of capitalist countries, and in the planned economy dominated by the socialist countries, such as North Korea and Cuba, the financial crisis is less than the probability of stone-throwing Block hit 300,000 km outside of the moon. To put it plainly, it does not deserve financial crisis.

American Society on October 29 in Mexico City from a report that the financial crisis dealt a heavy blow to the United States, the United States is using its political influence and power of the other leadership, the crisis caused by severe damage to the "export "To other countries. The article, entitled "the current world financial crisis would have the power relationship between the kind of impact? "The article's main points are as follows: To answer this question, first of all to deal with the current stage of capitalism and the distribution of world power status and a description of the changes. Our historical period have experienced two momentous changes, which are from the bipolar world changed on the grounds of the United States hegemony of a single rule of a unipolar world, as well as by the economic model is a non-regulation and control of the neo-liberal model. This shift also means that two of the world from a long period of prosperity to the other for a long period of recession during the transition from the former World War II to the beginning of the end of 1973, while the latter is the reason that the recession because of the lack of control led to the rule of a large number of capital Production from the field shifted to the area of speculation, the economy has led to low growth. As a result, over the last decade of the new historical period of honeymoon period, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States as the imperialist leaders of the Group of the United Nations or NATO everywhere with the support of the "American peace" in Iraq and Bosnia launched the so-called "humanitarian And war, "At the same time, the United States during the Clinton administration has experienced over the capitalist economic cycle characterized by short-term economic prosperity, the United States hegemony and neo-liberal model of the peak. Economic prosperity and the end of the Bush administration's response to the terrorist attacks that changed new historical period of the first decade of this excellent situation, with the attendant on the second phase of the emergence of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, cooperation between the countries on every continent And to strengthen the integration trend, at the same time China's rapid economic growth. From the United States began to spread to Europe, Japan and other countries in the world crises fusion of the above-mentioned factors in the current phase of the outbreak. Before the outbreak of the crisis have accumulated reasons, including the decline of the U.S. economy, in order to finance loans for the center model, as well as the shortcomings of the United States in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the military defeat, and so on. The impact of the crisis on the United States than in other parts of the stronger, long-term, the U.S. economy is also greater, but the United States to use its political influence and power of the other core leadership, trying to cause a serious crisis, loss of exports to other countries , To re-establish their economic power. Nevertheless, world powers will depend on who is going to a new relationship for the broken plates and the bill which explain the reasons for the crisis of the theory will win. Since 1929, the state has been seeking assistance Liberalism is a function of the market to make up for deficiencies of one of the means. From the perspective of what kind of explanation in the current market economic theory have been at a disadvantage. Conservative measures are likely to be dominant, including the use of government intervention, which is currently in Europe and Japan are most likely to use the means. Capitalist great powers trying to use government intervention and a large amount of capital injection and so on, at all costs to save the current economy - the financial system. The power crisis in the world of the new relationship has been very clear. The hegemony of the United States may once again be consolidated, as long as it can be a negative impact on exports of the crisis so that the other major economies to share, is the most important domestic crisis will be passed on to the serious consequences of the American people, especially in emerging countries around the head On. Between the countries of the South to strengthen and deepen mutual cooperation in order to avoid the crisis in the North have been exported to the region. It should also be put forward and implemented in line with the interests of the countries of the South out of the crisis of policy, which must be released from the neo-liberal model and the model for the services of international agencies. After the crisis, the world will change. About the significance of the crisis and should draw lessons from the debate now taking place. North is seeking re-unite some of the implementation of the solution to the crisis in order to export most of the negative results, and the South should know how to protect their interests, from the Institute's own point of view to analyze the crisis and out of the implementation of the policy of neo-liberal model, to create a Multi-polar world.
