("On Tuesday, a British auditing company ranked a gas field in Turkmenistan
as the second largest in the world. Now, Turkmenistan, once a Russian
colony, plans to ship 60 billion cubic meters of gas a year to China -
nearly the same volume that Russia has been talking [with China] about since
the 1990s")

(马英九"指出，给予台湾免签证或落地签证的国家及地区已达到124个，许多大陆网友
评论认为，比起只有20几个国家给予大陆免签或落地签来，台湾令人称道和羡慕。马英
九在谈到外国签证优待的时候用词严谨，而在台湾内外，有不少人和媒体把这简称为'
124国给台湾免签证。' 其实，不都是免签证，有些是落地签证；这124个实体，也不都
是国家，有些是地区。例如不久前荷兰的6个海外属领地给台湾免签证待遇，使得有关
数字一举增加了6个。台湾政府对于免签数字津津乐道，但是民进党立法委员管碧玲表
示，外交部不要把免签证和主权划上等号，用124个免签国来欺骗国人，香港也有143国
免签待遇")

14, 2011
http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2011/10/175552.htm
(remarks at Economic Club of New York, New York City)
Quote:
"we are putting a special premium on protecting freedom of navigation and a
rules-based approach to resource development in places like the South China
Sea and the Arctic Ocean.
"All who benefit from the rules of the global economy have a responsibility
to follow them. Enough of the world’s commerce now takes place with
developing nations that exempting them would render the whole system not
just unfair but unworkable. And that would end up harming everyone. One
example of just such an unsustainable approach is China’s currency policy,
which does, in fact, cost American jobs, but it also costs Brazilian jobs
and German jobs and other jobs, and it denies the Chinese people the full
fruits of their own labor. China has been gaming the trading system to hold
down the value of its currency to give its companies a leg up. It’s
currency has appreciated, but not enough. And currency is just one unfair
practice.
"And let me speak briefly about one barrier we urgently need to address, and
that is the participation of women in the global economy. Because when half
of the world isn’t invited, that makes a mockery of the ideal of free,
open, and fair economic competition. According to the economists over the
last decade, women’s increased participation in the global labor market in
the developed world accounted for a greater share of global growth than
China’s.
"Investment in both directions, backed by well-enforced rules, is vital to
creating growth and jobs here at home. For example, last year, the Kentucky-
based company that owns KFC and Pizza Hut, two iconic American brands,
actually made more money selling pizza and fried chicken in China than in
the United States. But this creates jobs at headquarters in Louisville and
it creates jobs as well in China. When Tom Friedman warns that the Chinese
will “eat our lunch,” I’m not sure that’s what he had in mind. (Laughter
.)
"My fourth point is that we also confront a special set of strategic
challenges from the growing wealth in state hands today. Governments are
entering markets directly through their cash reserves, natural resources,
and businesses they own and control. And they are shaping these markets not
just for profit, but to build and exercise power on behalf of the state. Now
, there is nothing new about countries using economic power to force others
to bend to their will. But today the resources at their disposal are
unprecedented, and interconnected global markets present new avenues to
deploy them. * * * And increasingly, state-owned and state-supported
enterprises operate not just in their home markets, but around the globe,
sometimes in secrecy, often lacking transparency and accountability that
would come from shareholders and regulatory schemes and boards. We also see
hybrid companies masquerading as commercial actors, but actually controlled
by states and acting with strategic consequences. The dividing lines just
aren’t clear anymore. When states participate in markets directly or
through the companies they own and control, their behavior is often benign *
* * sometimes, but not always. We also see states bullying their neighbors.
For example, national oil companies [of Russia] tightening gas supplies in
the dead of winter. Or they [of China] restrict access to critical minerals
after a dispute.
"We welcome the rise of the BRIC countries. We welcome the rise that we see
happening in Asia. Because remember, our export trade with the Southeast
Asian countries is actually still greater than our trade with China. So we
have a big investment in growing these economies and seeing middle classes
develop, consumers develop.
Note: The "欺辱" in the BBC report is "bullying"--in the penultimate
quotation.
