though both sides have made some concessions，china has a long way to follow as it will reform government procurement intuition ，strengthen inspection on intellectual property，change the protective trade policies ，negotiate on export credits ，breakthrough undervalued currency  and reform financial system to open up its financial market which is particularly at  risk  ，when US  only accord china fair treatment ，reassure our huge  foreign exchange reserve and enforce inspection over  its financial market.
if china wants it to be fair,it needs to get through much obstacles and make much more  progress.

First of all, I support the host strongly! It is good for readers to improve English and it helps us to know the actual economic world as well.   Besides,  it provides a platform to discusse these hot topics freely.
In this article some controversial issues between China and US have been argued for a long time, such as intellectual property. Because of different background and status,both side are trying their best to solve these problems. However ,there is still a long way to go.

今天第一次发现这个活动，版主出发点不错。我也来参加！

well, i still hold my oppionion about such summit or conference. its political motiv is even larger than pure economic motivation.
US has already started its tactic towards China. The purpose is clear, to absorb foreign investment for revising economic downturn no matter how. after all, all promises are just based on words. they do not count anything afterwards.
In our side, i dont think its the proper time to do so. IP rights, currency conflicts, limitation of internet,  insufficient international FDI experiences, it is too risky to continuously pump money into U.S.  as far as i knew,  recent failure of FDI has cost thousands trillion lost. these money should be used on domestic regular development. i think it is time to think about whether it is worth or not to pledge such things, just like last year china pump money into Turkey, Greece to save Euro.
both are two largest economic units, its true. but to be frank,  China is also the largest economic unit on the bottom of world business chain.

It seems good that we share our market to acquire the technology.
But the intellectual property are easily pirated,especially in software industry...

美国在中国开放金融系统方面也取得了一些进展，他们认为金融改革会使中国的消费者储蓄和借款，而这将提升国内消费。

A few days ago, Congress  approved a clause that prohibits the White House OSTP and the NASA from cooperating with China. The cooperation between China and US in technology still has a long way to go.
For the intellectual property, in my opinion, China government will only "strengthen the inspection of government software", so the influence this commitment has on ordinary people is limited.

It is important for the two big to get some agreements which are on mutal interests.Increasing the access to sensitive US technology is beneficial for the shifting of China's economic development.However,what is the definition of "sensitivity"? Is it possible for us to use the US high tech in fact?So we still have a long way and the most important is to increase our abilities in the studying of high technology.
    It is a good idea to identify how many times you participate in this English corner.I think it is better if you can translate some complicated core words or specialized words.Above all this can offer us a smoothing reading

Negotiation: US access to the Chinese market and Chinese access to sensitive US technology

China said that it will “actively study” allowing foreign owned insurers to provide car insurance, an important demand given that China will become the world’s largest car market.

The US ,as a developed country,always want developing country do something that could help them develop their economy and finance.But,we must recognise that  we have a lot of knowledge needed to learn.If we open our market completely,or follow the 'advice of  the us',we will lose our advantages in the American market,even in international market. we musr make it clear that we lack a lot in the finance and economy because some reasons.we should not follow the suggestion of America. After all,we have completely different states"conditon with western country. Our leader also recognise that America is a snake,now,he say all that he did is good for us,but,once they achieve their goal,he will destroy our system of economy.

Every term or ask America  put forward to China is concrete and to the point.
what about ours?what's the meaning of sensitive US tech?
what level tech belongs to sensitive tech?

2

Hope that US could really keep his promise and take “full consideration” of China’s request for “fair treatment” over exports of sensitive US technology.

I like this column,in this way ,I take into the economics and the same as learn english.

"The US also wants to reduce the flow of cheap finance to Chinese state-owned enterprises as a result of caps on interest rates paid to Chinese depositors and create opportunities for US financial firms in the Chinese market."

I wonder whether we need foreign funds right now. As to the falling stock prices in the stock market and restrictions on the purchase of real estate, surplus cashes remain in Chinese hands. Some of them flow to foreign markets, and some  are used to buy silver, although the price of silver is falling now. Maybe we should find some ways to invest these domestic funds, for example, to invest in some former state-owned companies, not just introduce foreign strategic investors.

To be frank, The feeling that the above article gives to me is not delight, not relaxation, still worry instead.
With the rapid growth of chinese economy,china is becoming more and more rich,energetic,potenial ,powerfull,thus,it is no doubt that today's china has created  a great threat to the US who always want to be the boss of the world in all aspects.The US is afraid indeed,but the infite  potential of   chinese market compel its corporation with us immediately, the point is that is the US really will perform its promise to benefit us(such as high tech),perhaps in other words, its enemy, i am not sure at all though i hope the answer is yes sincerely, I do hope the leaders of china could get a clear understanding of the situation and make wise decision in order to protect our own interest.

In my opinion, intellectual property protection(IPR) is the most important aspect the U.S. Government concerns. As we all know, our China has put regulations on IPR, but it is not enough as our economy develops fast and deeply which needs hard law to protect property.

2
Protecting the intellectual property is critical to the economic development in China. Also is very important for the innovation in our country.
The so-called "fair" in fact is not real fair.China has a long way to go.From an international perspective, Goverment has more responsibilities to improve the image of "ZF".

有没有像这样能够听的可以下载，期待ing

I think the best thing is that United States said it welcomes Chinese investment in sensitive U.S. technology.In some way United States makes some progress on opening up China's financial system

Why buy Skype?


May 10th 2011, 20:55 by M.G. | SAN FRANCISCO

“IRREPRESSIBLE” is a word that is usually used to denote something that is hard to control or restrain. Steve Ballmer, the boss of Microsoft, is obviously very fond of it. At a press conference on May 10th to announce the company’s whopping $8.5 billion purchase of Skype, an online phone and video-calling service, he used the word several times to imply that Microsoft was still a dynamic company. But the firm’s shareholders may end up wishing that Mr Ballmer had shown considerably more restraint when negotiating the firm’s largest ever takeover.


The way the deal came about shows how desperate the software giant was to get its hands on Skype. The target company was heading for a stockmarket flotation until Microsoft suddenly lobbed in an unsolicited offer for it. The amount Microsoft ultimately coughed up for Skype was generous enough to convince the firm’s investors, which include Silver Lake Partners, a private-equity fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, a venture-capital firm, to jettison the planned public offering in favour of Microsoft’s all-cash deal.

Yet it is hard to see how the company can justify splashing out the equivalent of 400 times Skype’s operating income last year for its prey. Although Skype’s service has become so well-known that its name has become a verb, it has struggled to get users to pay for premium services such as calls to mobile phones. It had 663m registered users last December and made $860m in revenue in 2010, implying revenue per user of a mere $1.30. And it has singularly failed to develop a convincing advertising model.

Announcing the deal, Mr Ballmer (pictured, left, with Skype's boss, Tony Bates) tried to spin these as opportunities. But people chatting away on video calls are unlikely to pay a great deal of attention to ads, no matter how expertly sold by Microsoft’s salesforce. And the company will have to come up with incredibly compelling offerings to persuade folk who have been conditioned to getting a wonderful service for nothing to dip into their wallets and purses.

The corporate market may be more promising. Microsoft has a big footprint here thanks to its Windows and Office products. And its Lync service, which combines various different communications tools such as video chat, instant messaging and web conferencing in a single package to spur collaboration inside companies, has proved very popular. Splicing Skype onto it could allow it to compete even more effectively with offerings from rivals such as Cisco.

There may also be potential for the company to come up with new offerings by linking Skype’s service with, say, its Xbox 360 gaming consoles and its Kinect motion-sensing devices, allowing gamers to see the outrage on friends’ faces when they zap their online characters for the umpteenth time. And by integrating Skype with the operating system for its Windows 7 phones—which is also likely to become the operating system for phones from Nokia, with whom Microsoft has an alliance—it can better compete with video offerings from rivals.

But why buy Skype to achieve all this? After all, had the start-up gone public, it would no doubt have been keen to work with Microsoft on these and other offerings to drum up revenue. Perhaps the answer is that Microsoft desperately wants to be seen as a place that is home to cool consumer technologies and hopes that owning Skype outright will give it more credibility as a hive of edgy innovation. The snag is that the firm has fallen so far behind the likes of Google and Apple in the consumer arena that its fall from grace there may well be irrevocable.
