Here’s How Chinese Stocks Short-Circuited

Beijing’s rules intended to stem market panic only made things worse. Blame human nature.

Here’s How Chinese Stocks Short-Circuited

It was an embarrassing about-face for Chinese securities regulators. Just days after introducing “circuit breaker” policies on Jan. 4 — which paused stock markets for 15 minutes on a five percent drop and shut them down for the day on a seven percent drop — Beijing announced Jan. 7 that it would suspend the new rules, effective immediately.

Sunnylands Summit Provides Opportunity To Bolster U.S.-Southeast Asia Ties

By Murray Hiebert (@MurrayHiebert1), Senior Fellow and Deputy Director, Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

January 7, 2015

President Barack Obama will host leaders from the 10 ASEAN countries for a summit at the lush Sunnylands retreat in southern California on February 15 and 16 in a gesture aimed at deepening U.S. ties to this dynamic region. The president raised the idea of the meeting with Southeast Asian leaders at the U.S.-ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur in November 2015, during which he and his ASEAN counterparts announced the upgrading of U.S.-ASEAN relations to a strategic partnership. The leaders will look to flesh out the ASEAN-U.S. Plan of Action 2016–2020 that they endorsed at the summit in Kuala Lumpur. Tiếp tục đọc “CSIS: Southeast Asia from Scott Circle – Jan 7, 2016” →

CSIS Energy Publication | Assessing the Final Clean Power Plan: Emissions Outcomes

Assessing the Final Clean Power Plan:
Emissions Outcomes

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan (CPP) is the most significant greenhouse gas (GHG) policy ever undertaken in the United States, and is expected to achieve significant emission reductions by the time it is fully implemented in 2030. However, calculating the ultimate emissions-abatement potential is more difficult than simply adding up the state reduction targets. While the EPA has set a floor on cumulative emissions from existing fossil-fuel-fired power plants, it has not set a ceiling, and projecting the actual emissions outcome on a national level is not straightforward due to the flexibility states have in implementation.

Our analysis deepens the understanding of the potential emissions outcomes of the CPP and what factors could influence that outcome. We start by explaining the primary factor that has the potential to undermine EPA’s emissions floor—leakage—and how EPA is attempting to address this issue. We then turn to a quantitative analysis of two potential pathways for state implementation plans (SIPs) under optimal implementation conditions. Bearing in mind that optimal implementation is unlikely, we also explore key drivers and decisions that could result in emissions that are higher or lower than our initial projections.

TT – Bảy chữ cái bị kỳ thị và bốn chữ cái được dùng lậu là cách nói của tiến sĩ Lê Vinh Quốc về bảng chữ cái tiếng Việt hiện hành. Như một cách gợi mở vấn đề, Tuổi Trẻ xin được giới thiệu cùng bạn đọc.

Phóng to

Bảng chữ cái tiếng Việt theo mẫu tự Latin gồm 29 chữ đã được chính thức thừa nhận từ lâu. Tuy nhiên, sự phát triển của tiếng Việt hiện hành trong thời đại công nghệ thông tin đã làm bộc lộ một số vấn đề cần giải quyết để nó được hoàn thiện hơn.
