发帖数: 294 | 1 AIG的问题是这样：
不说长期的问题，就在2008年九月份，为什么突然这么危急？
在那个时刻，那么危急，不是CDS on CDO 的问题，是AIG的CDS Book太大
在那个时候，AIG 有3T notion CDS exposure，net exposure不是特别大。绝大部分的
CDS都是互相对冲掉了，AIG挣中间一点点差价，几个bps。基本上AIG是CDS market
maker。问题是9/15那天AIG被降级到 A，很多很多的CDS 有 ratings trigger。从AA -
> A，逼 AIG 要给它的对家现金，3%或者 更多的notion，无论买还是卖。如果市场还算
正常，也许AIG能unwind，但是那个时间根本没有市场。AIG就坐在那里付钱，但是谁也
不可能有50-100B的现金，除了政府先印。
AIG别的问题也暴露出来，那些真的输钱了。 |

depends on the correlation in the default processes.
to illustrate this consider CDOs on a basket of 2 assets in a one period
world. each asset has notional of 1, the total notional of the basket is 2.
recovery rates are both 0.
A and B. each has 50% prod to default between time 0 and T. coupon and
protection payments only happen at the end of the single period T.

■本期主持记者 杨馨

5月24日，美国国务院以签证为由，要求孔子学院中国教师限期离境,引起全美数十家孔子学院，以及和孔子学院合作的大学，一片哗然。
把这两件事情连系起来，不难看出，中国利用孔子学院向全球传播文化和语言，被西方一些右翼分子，当成是中国政府宣传软实力的工具。
作为英方的孔子学院院长，我对这个问题，也是感到非常困惑和震惊。
为什么，中国政府诚心诚意地花钱推广中国的文化和语言，会遇到如此想不到的打击和阻碍？中国政府应该如何对付这样的打击？如何应对今后更加意想不到的困难？
本人认为，中国政府应该做好如下工作：
其一，保持冷静的态度，认真研究对方各种持不同观点和态度的人群，采取有效措施，争取亲华力量，尽量化解冷战思维人士的冷战态度。

Internal colonialism is a notion of structural political and economic
inequalities between regions within a nation state. The term is used to
describe the uneven effects of economic development on a regional basis,
otherwise known as "uneven development", and to describe the exploitation of
minority groups within a wider society. This is held to be similar to the
relationship between metropole and colony, in colonialism proper. |

1779年，乔治华盛顿指示JohnSullivan少将攻打Iroquois人民时说：假如将“垃圾”（
指印第安人）放到所有定居点附近，….. 那么整个国家将不仅仅是泛滥成灾，而是被
摧毁了。在屠杀灭绝印第安人过程中，华盛顿还指示他的将军说：在所有印第安人居留
地被有效摧毁前不要听取任何和平 的建议”。
在1783年，华盛顿在把印第安人和狼的相互比较中，他这种反印第安人情绪遗漏无疑：
“两者都是掠食的野兽， 仅仅在形状上不同”，他说。华盛顿的灭绝政策在他的部队
又一次击败了印第安人以后得以实施。军士们从Iroquois人的死尸上剥皮，“从臀部往
下剥皮， 这样可以制作出高的或可以并腿而长的长统靴来。”在那场袭击后辛存的印
第安人将美国第一总统改名为“小城摧毁者”。大概30个Senca人的城镇中有28 个在一
个5年时间内被摧毁。

“Exports account for over 40% of China's GDP, so some economists predict
that a fall in exports as a result of a downturn in America would create
massive excess capacity and a sharp fall in profits and investment—the

dependent on export-led growth is a myth; domestic demand is much more

伊朗2009年大选“舞弊说”的运作过程
From literally the morning after the election, the vast majority of Western
journalists and U.S.-based Iran "experts" rushed to judgment that the
outcome had to have been the result of fraud. These journalists and
commentators largely succeeded in turning the notion of a fraudulent
election in Iran into a "social fact" in the United States -- just as
journalists like Judith Miller, formerly of the |

Liu Xiaobo and the West's naive beliefs about freedom in China
Since the 1989 Tiananmen massacre, the West has naively thought that
economic prosperity would inevitably lead to democracy in China. The
case of Liu Xiaobo, who just won the Nobel Peace Prize, shows it hasn't.
Human rights are the prerequisite for the 'fraternity between nations.'

By FANG LIZHI
Published: October 11, 2010
PHOENIX, ARIZONA — I heartily applaud the Nobel Committee for awarding its
Peace Prize to the imprisoned Liu Xiaobo for his long and nonviolent
struggle for human rights in China. In doing so, the committee has
challenged the West to re-examine a dangerous notion that has become
prevalent since the 1989 Tiananmen massacre: that economic development will
inevitably lead to democracy in China.

从雅典到北京
今年本来是希腊之年。大约2500年前，在这个国家，在批判探索的精神之中，西方文明
应运而生。而现在，希腊破产、被赎救，深深地浸淫于一个自满、贪腐和无能的文化。
忽然间，这似乎就是西方文明即将堕落至的结局。
然后刘晓波上个星期五荣获诺贝尔和平奖。今年现在属于中国。
自由或纪律，雅典或斯巴达：这是基本的政治问题。像中国或伊朗、 古巴这样的基于政
治纪律理念的政权，几乎每个生活在其统治之下的人都想要更多的自由。没有自由，生
活在道德上不能容忍，也常非血肉之躯能够承受。
诚然，所有的自由社会都唯恐缺乏纪律会在长远之后导致其覆灭。这就是为什么历代的
某些西方思想家如萧伯纳，海德格尔，萨特，福柯，乔姆斯基等被极权主义的政权所吸
