The Catalogue will become effective January 30, 2012, and will replace the existing version of the guidance catalogue promulgated in late 2007. Background China first published the Catalogue in 1995 in order to regulate the inflow of foreign investment in a manner consistent with the central government’s economic development objectives. Over the years, the Catalogue has subsequently been revised several times to conform with China’s commitments under its Protocol of Accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and to reflect China’s continued economic and social development. The latest amendments to the Catalogue reflect China’s current emphasis on improving the quality of foreign investment to promote the development of high and new technology, valued-added manufacturing, efficient use of resources, and environmental sustainability. ***THEIR CARD BEGINS***The Catalogue classifies foreign direct investments in the various Chinese industry sectors as “encouraged,” “restricted,” “permitted,” or “prohibited,” and sets out specific industries in which foreign investment is either “encouraged,” “restricted,” or “prohibited.” Activities not listed are, in the absence of other rules to the contrary, considered to be “permitted” for foreign investments. Foreign investment in “encouraged” industries may enjoy certain tax benefits and is often subject to less strict administrative requirements from approval authorities. The “restricted” category includes industries into which foreign investment is subject to a higher level of scrutiny, stricter administrative requirements, and may be denied at the discretion of the approval authorities. Foreign investment is not permitted in industries categorized as “prohibited.”***THEIR CARD ENDS***

Exon-Florio should be amended to more narrowly define national security. The open-ended nature of the current definition has allowed the process to become politicized. Instead, national security should be specifically defined so as to prevent acquisition of industries that are critical to the military aspects of our national defense and that have capacities that are not duplicable by other market entities. The definition should also serve to ensure that export control laws are not circumvented by foreign acquisition of American companies. The following proposed definition would once again focus on preventing foreign governments from gaining unique military capabilities through private transactions that could threaten American national security:

While CFIUS’s activities often seem to be quite opaque, the Committee is not free to establish an independent approach to reviewing foreign investment transactions, but operates under the authority of the President and reflects his attitudes and policies. As a result, any discretion CFIUS uses to review and to investigate foreign investment cases reflects policy guidance from the President. Foreign investors are also constrained by legislation that bars foreign direct investment in such industries as maritime, aircraft, banking, resources and power. 7 Generally, these sectors were closed to foreign investors prior to passage of the Exon-Florio provision in order to prevent public services and public interest activities from falling under foreign control, primarily for national defense purposes.

| 03/31/2013 | NDT Round 8 - AT K of "African American"Tournament: | Round: | Opponent: WGA DF | Judge: 2NRapologyIt’s uniquely effective in the context of university students exploring issues of identityGary Alan Fine 10, Professor of Sociology at Northwestern, "A" for Apology: Slavery and the Discourse of Remonstrance in Two American Universities, History and Memory 22.1 (Spring 2010): 81-112,169-170. What is it that university apologies do? We suggest that they constitute action through language, bolstering the core values of the academy by providing models of reconciliation. They extend the active consideration of an issue to alumni, current students, professors-to all those who are associated with the university. The apology of a university is a powerful tool in the arsenal of forgiveness. |
