-------------------- 
  Editorial Quotes 
-------------------- 
 
1.  OBAMA'S NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 
 
a. "Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize and Shocks the World" 
 
The official Communist Party international news publication Global 
Times (Huanqiu Shibao)(10/10)(pg 1): "Jin Canrong, professor of the 
People's University of China, commented that giving the Prize to 
Obama is encouraging the U.S. not to return to unilateralism. 
What's more, the Prize could help Obama to consolidate his dropping 
credibility in the U.S., which would also be helpful for Europe. 
However, it is a risk and a gamble by the Nobel Committee.  Obama 
must make real achievements within the next several years.  However, 
the issues on which Obama is working, like denuclearization, the 
Middle East peace process and peace talks with North Korea, are all 
difficult issues and it is likely that Obama may have to take some 
kind of military action in resolving them in the next few years. 
The strong political nature of the Nobel Peace Prize is not easy to 
change, and this will produce more doubts for the Committee. 
Scholar Yuan Peng commented that the West likes to give the Prize to 
people who hold western values.  For China, the biggest advantage of 
Obama being awarded is that Chinese dissidents did not have a chance 
to win the Prize.  Otherwise the Prize will be devalued and in that 
way the Prize will destroy its own reputation." 
 
b. "Obama Resists a Unipolar World" 
 
Guangdong 21st Century Publishing Company Ltd.'s business newspaper, 
21st Century Business Herald (21Shiji Jingji Baodao)(10/13)(pg 2): 
"Obama, as the leader of the largest unipolar power in the world, 
has more power and responsibility to create a friendly America than 
others and to rebuild the world order under the rule of democracy. 
Although Obama has taken limited actions to loosen U.S. hegemony 
over the current world political order, his sincerity and his 
actions to block the Eastern European missile defense plan, in 
addition to his plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan have, 
at least, brought the hope of peace to the world which currently 
lies under the threat of American-style terrorism.  The Bush 
administration turned the U.S. into the most terrible enemy of the 
people of the world.  Thus Obama has a long way to go to turn the 
U.S. back into the world's friend.  Lowering itself to become one of 
the world's citizens that abides by and does not go beyond world 
norms is just the first step for the U.S.  The 2009 Nobel Peace 
Prize is more an expression of the hope of the people of the world 
that Obama and the United States can make contributions to the 
future world peace." 
 
2.  U.S.-CHINA TRADE RELATIONS 
 
"The U.S. Swings a Trade Stick at the Chinese Glass Curtain Wall" 
 
The official Communist Party international news publication Global 
Times (Huanqiu Shibao)(10/12)(pg 11): "The U.S. media have indicated 
that the frequent trade moves made by U.S. trade associations and 
unions against China will further intensify the already nervous 
U.S.-China trade relationship before Obama's visit to China.  'Made 
in the U.S.' organizations filed a suit with the U.S. Department of 
Commerce criticizing Chinese government provision of subsidies to 
Chinese glass curtain wall companies, claiming the subsidies have 
caused unequal competition.  The AFP has commented that to avoid 
destroying the atmosphere for Obama's visit to China China has been 
acting with restraint since the recent tire protection case. 
However, the dark shadow over U.S.-China trade relations kept 
growing.  The trade protectionism measures by the U.S., one after 
another, will lead bilateral frictions to become more dangerous." 
 
3. ENVIRONMENT 
 
"In Collecting Carbon Tariffs, He Who Strikes First Prevails" 
 
The official Communist Party international news publication Global 
Times (Huanqiu Shibao)(10/13)(pg 15): "We can see that the U.S. is 
trying hard to disguise the negative impacts of carbon tariffs,  and 
is determined to collect them.  China should also act early and 
begin to collect carbon tariffs, in order to deal with the U.S. 
tariffs which will no doubt come in the 'low carbon era.'  A 
low-carbon economy will be the future trend and the WTO will change 
its view to support the legalization of carbon tariffs despite the 
fact that carbon tariff are anti-trade nature and will cause trade 
discrimination.  This means that newly-emerging countries like China 
will have no opportunities to seek remedies with the WTO.  To deal 
with the situation, China could take the first initiative to collect 
carbon tariffs and give up its current model of gaining a trade 
surplus dependent on high energy consumption productions.  By 
collecting carbon tariffs early, Chinese companies may be able to 
 
BEIJING 00002850  002 OF 002 
 
 
sooner find  production model transformation and a decrease of 
energy consumption per unit, which would ultimately make the trade 
barriers of Western countries irrelevant.  Furthermore, as the WTO 
rules do not allow double collection of tariffs, the collection of 
carbon tariffs by China would keep the tariff money within the 
country and help China gain more advantages in negotiations on 
emission reductions during the coming visit of Obama to China.  The 
collection of carbon tariffs by China can also make those foreign 
companies who invest in China's high energy consumption industries 
to foot the bill for environmental impact and perhaps prevent 
irresponsible investors from entering those industries."
