China s Xi: No tolerance for subversion in Hong Kong

HONG KONG (AP) - Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday said any activities in Hong Kong seen as threatening China's sovereignty and stability would be "absolutely impermissible," employing some of his harshest language yet toward pro-democracy activities in the territory. In a speech marking 20 years since the city became a semi-autonomous Chinese region after its handover from Britain, Xi pledged Beijing's support for the "one country, two systems" blueprint, under which Hong Kong controls many of its own affairs and retains civil liberties including free speech. However, he said Hong Kong had to do more to shore up security and boost patriotic education, in a veiled reference to legislation long-delayed by popular opposition.

Any attempt to challenge China's sovereignty, security and government authority or use Hong Kong to "carry out infiltration and sabotage activities against the mainland is an act that crosses the red line, and is absolutely impermissible," Xi said. Hong Kong has been roiled by political turmoil in recent years that brought tens [http://wigjournal.com/WigCare/102438 mua dem bong ep] of thousands of protesters onto the streets in 2014 demanding democratic reforms. Those calls were ignored by Beijing and Xi indicated there would be no giving ground in the future. "Making everything political or deliberately creating differences and provoking confrontations will not resolve the problems," he said. Hong Kong "cannot afford to be torn apart by reckless moves or internal rifts." While former colonial master Britain and other Western democracies have expressed concerns about Beijing's actions in Hong Kong, China has increasingly made clear it brooks no outside criticism or attempts at intervention. Xi said China had made it "categorically clear" in talks with Britain in the 1980s that "sovereignty is not for negotiation." "Now that Hong Kong has returned to China, it is all the more important for us to firmly uphold China's sovereignty, security and development interests," he said. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang sent a similar message in Beijing on Friday, saying Hong Kong was strictly China's domestic affair. The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration laying out terms for Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule is "no longer relevant today, and has no binding force on the Chinese central government's governance over Hong Kong," Lu said. "The U.K. has no sovereignty, governance right or the right of supervision over today's Hong Kong. We hope the relevant people can be aware of the reality," Lu said. Earlier, Xi presided over a swearing-in ceremony for Carlie Lam, Hong Kong's fifth chief executive since 1997. The life-long bureaucrat and her Cabinet swore to serve China and Hong Kong and to uphold the Basic Law, the territory's mini-constitution. In a speech that ran far shorter than Xi's 32-minute address, Lam reviewed the dynamic financial center's achievements and challenges, pledged to support central government initiatives and declared that "the future is bright." Lam prevailed over a much more popular rival in an election decried by many as fundamentally undemocratic, with only a sliver of a percent of Hong Kong's more than 3 million registered voters taking part. Xi was due to return to Beijing midday Saturday. His three-day visit aimed at stirring Chinese patriotism had prompted a massive police presence and also included a visit to the People's Liberation Army garrison, which usually maintains a low profile in the territory. Ahead of a flag raising ceremony Sunday, a small group of activists linked to the pro-democracy opposition sought to march on the venue carrying a replica coffin symbolizing the death of the territory's civil liberties. They were swiftly stopped by police and Chinese flag-waving counter protesters, with the action ending about an hour later. Xi's remarks will likely fuel fears among critics that Beijing's ruling Communist Party is tightening its grip over the city's political and civil affairs following a string of recent incidents. Those include the abductions of five Hong Kong booksellers to the mainland starting in late 2015 for selling gossipy titles about elite Chinese politics to Chinese readers. One of the men, Gui Minhai, is still being held. In a similar case, a Chinese-born tycoon with a Canadian passport went missing earlier this year from his hotel suite. News reports indicated mainland Chinese security agents operating in Hong Kong abducted him - a step that would violate the Basic Law. A plan to station Chinese immigration officers in a high-speed rail terminal under construction has also raised hackles, along with the establishment of a local branch of Beijing's Palace Museum without public consultation. Concerns are also high over the two long-delayed policies Xi referenced in his speech: the so-called patriotic national education in schools that many parents fear is a cover for pro-Communist brainwashing, and the anti-subversion national security legislation. Inflows of "red capital" from mainland property investors and businesses are also seen as leaving indigenous tycoons at a disadvantage, while further inflating housing prices that make Hong Kong one of the world's most unequal places.

Hong Kong s new leader Carrie Lam: profile

Hong Kong's new Chief Executive Carrie Lam gives a speech after being [https://dembongep.org mua đệm bông ép giá rẻ] sworn in as the territory's new leader, at the Convention and Exhibition Centre, on July 1, 2017 Carrie Lam's swearing-in as Hong Kong's new leader on Saturday marks the culmination of the lifelong civil servant's career as she inherits a divided city fearful of China's encroaching influence. Lam, 59, was widely seen as Beijing's preferred candidate when she was elected in March by a mainly pro-China committee representing special interest groups, from real estate and agriculture to teaching and medicine, as well as lawmakers. But critics have said she will only further polarise a society riven by mass protests three years ago against Beijing's interference in the affairs of the semi-autonomous city and still divided between those loyal to China and those concerned about its growing influence. Before landing the top job, Lam served as deputy to her highly unpopular predecessor Leung Chun-ying, slammed as a puppet of Beijing. Appointed by Leung as chief secretary in 2012, the new leader promoted a Beijing-backed political reform package rejected as "fake democracy" by opponents. Graphic on how Hong Kong picked incoming leader Carrie Lam with 777 votes from its Election Committee Bespectacled Lam -- whose Cantonese name is Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor -- is nicknamed "lai-ma" or "wet-nurse" by opponents in a jibe over what they say was fawning loyalty towards her former boss.

Ultimately activists failed to win concessions on democratic reform, including fully free leadership elections. Lam was an activist herself during university in the 1970s, with one photo published in the South China Morning Post showing her marching in protest against the expulsion of four "leftist" students. [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-canada.html đệm bông ép canada hà nội] bông ép hanvico She came from humble origins, growing up in a modest family of five children in the crowded district of Wanchai. But recent gaffes have fanned criticism that Lam -- who is usually elegantly dressed and sports a short coiffed hairstyle -- is out of touch with ordinary people. She appeared unfamiliar with how to use the city's ubiquitous "Octopus" travel card to get into the subway platform. She was also mocked for a lack of common sense after an anecdote related to reporters -- about a late-night hunt for toilet paper -- revealed she didn't know where to buy essentials in a city packed with convenience stores. In an interview last month with Chinese state news agency Xinhua, Lam said the government must imbue the young generation with a sense of Chinese national identity. The government will "strictly enforce the law" against any acts advocating Hong Kong independence, she told Xinhua.

Woman killed as Indian troops battle Kashmir rebels

SRINAGAR, India (AP) - A woman was killed and several others injured during anti-India protests and clashes in Indian-controlled Kashmir that erupted on Saturday after government forces launched an operation against rebels in mua dem bong ep dreamland ha noi ([https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-dreamland.html https://dembongep.org/]) the [http://www.internetbillboards.net/?s=disputed disputed] region, police said. Indian troops came under fire from militants as soldiers laid a cordon around southern Dyalgam village following a tip that rebels were hiding there, said senior police officer Muneer Ahmed Khan. After a brief exchange of fire, militants took a refuge inside a home where civilians, including women, were also trapped. Khan said the woman was killed in the crossfire. However, locals said that several men and women rushed to the house where the militants took shelter and asked soldiers to give them safe passage. The residents said troops were not letting some of the women leave. "We're negotiating with the civilians," Khan said. As the news of the siege spread, hundreds of people from Dyalgam and neighboring villages broke the security lockdown and marched near the site in solidarity with the rebels while demanding an end to Indian rule over the region. Intense clashes erupted in and around the village as locals threw rocks at the troops who fired tear gas and shotgun pellets to quell the spiraling protests. At least seven people were injured and one among them was said to be critical. In recent years, Kashmiris, mainly youths, have displayed open solidarity with anti-India rebels and sought to protect them by engaging troops in street clashes during military operations against the militants. The anti-India protests and clashes have persisted despite the Indian army chief warning recently that "tough action" would be taken against stone throwers during counterinsurgency operations. Nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan each administer part of Kashmir, but both claim the [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-hanvico.html mua đệm bông ép hanvico ở hà nội] [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-everhome.html mua dem bong ep everhome] Himalayan territory in its entirety. Rebel groups have been fighting since 1989 for Kashmir's independence or merger with neighboring Pakistan. Nearly 70,000 people have been killed in the fighting and the ensuing Indian crackdown. Anti-India sentiment runs deep among the region's mostly Muslim population and most people support the rebels' cause against Indian rule despite a decades-long military crackdown to fight the armed rebellion. India has accused Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, which Pakistan denies. Rebel groups have largely been suppressed by Indian forces in recent years and public opposition to Indian rule is now principally expressed through street protests.

Trump backs repealing Obamacare now replacing it later

2017-07-07T09:47:54Z

DennisAusterlitz:

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump barged into Senate Republicans' delicate health care negotiations Friday, declaring that if lawmakers can't reach a deal they should simply repeal "Obamacare" right away and then replace it later on. Trump's tweet revives an approach that GOP leaders and the president himself considered but dismissed months ago as impractical and politically unwise. And it's likely to further complicate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's task as he struggles to bridge the divide between GOP moderates and conservatives as senators leave Washington for the Fourth of July break without having voted on a health care bill as planned. "If Republican Senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately REPEAL, and then REPLACE at a later date!" Trump wrote. President Donald Trump [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-everhome.html đệm bông ép everhome] speaks at the Department of Energy in Washington, Thursday, June 29, 2017. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) The president sent his early-morning tweet shortly after Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse appeared on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" to talk about a letter he had sent to Trump making that exact suggestion: a vote on repealing former President Barack Obama's health law followed by a new effort at a working out a replacement. Trump is a known "Fox & Friends" viewer, but Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky also claimed credit for recommending the tactic to the president in a conversation earlier in the week. "Sen. Rand Paul suggested this very idea to the president," said Paul spokesman Sergio Gor. "The senator fully agrees that we must immediately repeal Obamacare and then work on replacing it right away." Either way, Trump's suggestion has the potential to harden divisions within the GOP as conservatives like Paul and Sasse complain that McConnell's bill does not go far enough in repealing Obama's health care law while moderates criticize it as overly harsh in kicking people off insurance roles, shrinking the Medicaid safety net and increasing premiums for older Americans. McConnell told reporters after an event Friday in his home state of Kentucky that the health care bill remains challenging but "we are going to stick with that path." "It's not easy making American great again, is it?" McConnell said. McConnell has been trying to strike deals with members of both factions in order to finalize a rewritten bill lawmakers can vote on when they return to the Capitol the second week of July. Even before Trump weighed in, though, it wasn't clear how far he was getting, and Trump's tweet did not appear to suggest a lot of White House confidence in the outcome. "McConnell's trying to achieve a 50-vote Venn diagram between some very competing factions," said Rodney Whitlock, a veteran health policy expert who worked as a Senate GOP aide during passage of the Democrats' Affordable Care Act. "So what the president tweeted takes one side of that Venn diagram and pushes it further away, and actually puts on the table an option that will probably drive that group away from seeking compromise with the other side of the Venn diagram." A McConnell spokesman declined to comment on Trump's tweet. Even before Trump was inaugurated in January, [https://openclipart.org/search/?query=Republicans Republicans] had debated and ultimately discarded the idea of repealing Obamacare before replacing it, concluding that both must happen simultaneously. Doing otherwise would invite accusations that Republicans were simply tossing people off coverage and would roil insurance markets by raising the question of whether, when and how Congress might replace Obama's law once it was gone. The idea also would leave unresolved the quandary lawmakers are struggling with now, about how to replace Obama's system of online insurance markets, tax subsidies and an expanded Medicaid with something that could get enough Republican votes to pass Congress. House Republicans barely passed their version of an Obamacare replacement bill in May, and the task is proving even tougher in the Senate, where McConnell has almost no margin for error. Moderates were spooked as the week began with a Congressional Budget Office finding that McConnell's draft bill would result in 22 million people losing insurance over the next decade, only 1 million fewer than under the House-passed legislation which Trump privately told senators was "mean." But conservatives continue to insist that the bill must go further than just repealing some of the mandates and taxes in Obama's law. "It's distressing to see so many Republicans who've lied about their commitment to repeal," Ken Cuccinelli, president of the Senate Conservatives Fund, said in a conference call [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-hanvico.html mua đệm bông ép hanvico] on Friday. Underscoring the fissures within the GOP, conservative group leaders on the conference call welcomed Trump's suggestion but said it didn't go far enough because it could open the door to a subsequent bipartisan compromise to replace Obama's law. At the same time, a key House Republican, Rep. Kevin Brady who chairs the Ways and Means Committee, rejected Trump's suggestion, contending that it "doesn't achieve what President Trump set out to do." "I really think the Senate's approach - certainly in the House - of not simply repealing but to start to put into place the elements that can make health care affordable, that's what the president set out to do," Brady said in an interview on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" program.

Kasich signs Ohio state budget vetoes Medicaid freeze

DennisAusterlitz:

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Gov. John Kasich once again stood against fellow Republicans in the Ohio Legislature on Friday to support Medicaid expansion, which now provides health insurance to 700,000 low-income Ohioans. The 2016 presidential contender vetoed a proposed freeze of the expansion and 46 other items from Ohio's state budget before signing it just ahead of a midnight deadline Friday. "I understand the fiscal concerns that we have, but we've been able to manage it," Kasich said. "I wouldn't do anything that's going to put the state in a position of where we couldn't have fiscal stability." Ohio Gov. John Kasich, right, joined by Colorado Gov.

(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) Conservatives had called on the outspoken Kasich to set a national example by leaving in place state budget provisions calling for freezing new expansion enrollment starting July 1, 2018, and preventing those who drop off from re-enrolling. Exemptions were written into the bill for those undergoing mental health or drug addiction treatment, but the administration said they had no legal force. Kasich said he believes the state and nation "can deal with the fact that people have needs and at the same time we can be fiscally responsible." He noted the expansion has yielded Ohio nearly $300 million for opiate addiction, double what the Legislature had allotted in the budget. He is one of the Republican Party's staunchest defenders of the expansion made possible under the federal health care law now targeted for replacement by his party. He was forced to make an end-run around GOP lawmakers in 2013 to become one of the first Republican governors to take advantage of the option. This time, they have the option to defy him. The Republican-led Legislature already has scheduled sessions Thursday where dem bong ep they'll attempt an override vote. Ohio's Republican legislators face potential pushback from their constituents in the politically divided battleground state for not acting to curb government health care spending. Ohio's expansion population is larger than originally expected, costing almost $5 billion - though most of that is picked up by the federal government. Many of those on the [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/program program] are the working poor, mentally ill or drug addicted. The Kasich administration has estimated that 500,000 Ohioans could lose coverage under a freeze within the first 18 months. Anticipating his veto, Republican budget writers made sure not to count on savings from the freeze to make the budget balance, as the state constitution requires.

DiCaprio hails Mexican ban on type of fishing net killing porpoises

2017-07-06T16:56:50Z

DennisAusterlitz:

MEXICO CITY, June 30 (Reuters) - Mexico on Friday banned fishing with gillnets in the northern Gulf of California as part of its pledge to save a critically-endangered species of porpoise whose cause has been championed by Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio and others. The snub-nosed vaquita porpoise has all but died out due to gillnet fishing for shrimp and totoaba, a delicacy in Asia. Mexico three weeks ago unveiled a plan with DiCaprio to protect the diminutive marine mammal. Gillnets, which use mesh sizes designed to allow fish to get only their head through the netting but not their body, are blamed for trapping the vaquita porpoises and killing them.

Ivanka Trump keeps quiet on dad s tweets assailing TV host

2017-07-06T14:43:48Z

DennisAusterlitz:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ivanka Trump has been vocal in using her White House role to advocate for women. But when President Donald Trump lobbed a demeaning attack on a female TV host on Twitter this week, his daughter and senior adviser kept quiet. It was a moment of silence that spoke to the challenges and calculations Ivanka Trump faces as she tries to promote [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-everhome.html mua dem bong ep everhome] dem bong ep everon ha noi family-friendly policies in an administration led by a man whose comments about women have made women cringe and drawn bipartisan rebuke. In recent weeks, the younger Trump has discussed family leave with lawmakers, traveled to promote job-training efforts and spoken out against human trafficking. She's also tried to position herself as above the political fray, saying in one interview that she tries to "stay out of politics" and in another that she's been surprised by the "level of viciousness" in Washington politics.

Ivanka Trump has been vocal in using her White House role to advocate for women. But when President Donald Trump lobbed a demeaning attack on a female news anchor on Twitter this week, his daughter and senior adviser kept quiet. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File) The tussle between her father and "Morning Joe" co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough offered a pointed reminder to Ivanka Trump that this is a city where it's impossible to separate policy and politics. The MSNBC hosts, in a Washington [https://dembongep.org đệm bông ép] Post column Friday, called on women close to the president to condemn him for questioning Brzezinski's intelligence and saying that she was "bleeding badly from a face-lift" in a December encounter. "It would be the height of hypocrisy to claim the mantle of women's empowerment while allowing a family member to continue such abusive conduct," Brzezinski and Scarborough wrote. Ivanka Trump did not respond to questions about the president's tweet or how it affects her policy efforts. While she has won some praise for trying to tackle complex issues that are not traditionally high on the [http://www.speakingtree.in/search/Republican Republican] agenda, such as paid family leave and child care expenses, liberal advocates said her recent evasion tactics were not helpful in [http://www.getglobalid.com/index.php?action=profile;u=61393 đệm bông ép] building bipartisan bridges. "Moments like this make it much harder for advocates that have spent decades fighting gender stereotypes and discrimination and advancing women's equality to view her as a potential ally," said Vicki Shabo, vice president of the National Partnership for Women & Families. Said Emily's List President Stephanie Schriock, "She's never been one who stood up when it mattered most." The administration has already been criticized for the limited number of women in top positions. And the White House Council for Women and Girls, established under President Barack Obama to ensure women are considered in policymaking, has not been active under Trump. Following a report in Politico that the administration was reviewing whether to keep the council, a senior administration official said there are plans to keep it in place, though details and timing still are being worked out. The official was not authorized to discuss internal thinking on the matter on the record. Earlier this week, Ivanka Trump appeared at a State Department ceremony unveiling an annual U.S. report on human trafficking, sounding "a clarion call into action in defense of the vulnerable and the exploited." At the same time, however, she has come under criticism for harsh conditions at a Chinese company that produces shoes for her fashion brand and others. All of these moments have contributed to Ivanka Trump's real-time political education. Embracing advocacy for women as her central focus, she stepped away from executive roles at The Trump Organization and running her own brand to join the administration. Last week she traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with Republican lawmakers on family-friendly tax policies and paid parental leave. While her goal of a national family leave program has limited GOP backing, some more modest tax policies could be included in a Republican tax overhaul effort. To further her priorities, Ivanka Trump has quietly reached out to Democrats. In May, she met with Democratic Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand of New York, a vocal advocate for paid leave, according to a [https://Www.Sportsblog.com/search?search=public%20calendar public calendar] on Gillibrand's website. The two have not spoken since, said a Gillibrand aide, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the meeting. Before Thursday's tweet from the president about Brzezinski, Ivanka Trump provided a statement to the AP about her paid leave efforts. She said that a national paid family leave plan is a "critical piece of the administration's working families agenda." She added, "The legislative process takes time, but I am committed to working with legislative leaders to build coalitions of support for policies that empower American working families and enable them to thrive." Despite Donald Trump's history of offensive comments about women, Ivanka Trump has defended her father as a supporter of women. Speaking on a panel at a women's conference in Berlin earlier this year, she described her father as "a tremendous champion of supporting families" - a statement which drew groans and hisses.

Woman killed as Indian troops battle Kashmir rebels

SRINAGAR, India (AP) - A woman was killed and several others injured during anti-India protests and clashes in Indian-controlled Kashmir that erupted on Saturday after government đệm bông ép giá rẻ ([https://dembongep.org dembongep.org]) forces launched an operation against rebels in the disputed region, police said. Indian troops came under [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-canada.html mua đệm bông ép canada ở hà nội] fire from militants as soldiers laid a cordon around southern Dyalgam village following a tip that rebels were hiding there, said senior police officer Muneer Ahmed Khan. After a brief exchange of fire, militants took a refuge inside a home where civilians, including women, were also trapped. Khan said the woman was killed in the crossfire. However, locals said that several men and women rushed to the house where the militants took shelter and asked soldiers to give them safe passage. The residents said troops were not letting some of the women leave. "We're negotiating with the civilians," Khan said. As the news of the siege spread, hundreds of people from Dyalgam and neighboring villages broke the security lockdown and marched near the site in solidarity with the rebels while demanding an end to Indian rule over the region. Intense clashes erupted in and [http://romseyautocare.com.au/UserProfile/tabid/61/userId/2085178/Default.aspx mua đệm bông ép canada ở hà nội] around the village as locals threw rocks at the troops who fired tear gas and shotgun pellets to quell the spiraling protests.

The anti-India protests and clashes have persisted despite the Indian army chief warning recently that "tough action" would be taken against stone throwers during counterinsurgency operations. Nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan each administer part of Kashmir, but both claim the Himalayan territory in its entirety. Rebel groups have been fighting since [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-hanvico.html mua đệm bông ép hanvico] dem bong ep hanvico 1989 for Kashmir's independence or merger with neighboring Pakistan. Nearly 70,000 people have been killed in the fighting and the ensuing Indian crackdown. Anti-India sentiment runs deep among the region's mostly Muslim population and most people support the rebels' cause against Indian rule despite a decades-long military crackdown to fight the armed rebellion. India has accused Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, which Pakistan denies. Rebel groups have largely been suppressed by Indian forces in recent years and public opposition to Indian rule is now principally expressed through street protests.

Northbound trading on Bond Connect to begin Monday -

2017-07-03T23:45:00Z

By Michelle Price and Andrew Galbraith HONG KONG/SHANGHAI, July 1 (Reuters) - "Northbound" trading through a long-awaited "Bond Connect" programme to connect China's $9 trillion bond market [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-dreamland.html mua đệm bông ép dreamland ở hà nội] with overseas investors will start on Monday, according to a calendar posted Friday evening on the programme's website. The announcement, timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to Chinese rule, marks the latest step in the opening up of China's capital markets. It follows the introduction of similar programmes allowing two-way [http://h2.gntech.ac.kr/?document_srl=2727828 mua đệm bông ép dreamland ở hà nội] trading between stock markets in Hong [https://dembongep.org/san-pham/dem-bong-ep-everon.html dem bong ep everon] Kong and Shanghai and Shenzhen. As previously announced by regulators, trading through the programme will initially commence "Northbound", meaning foreign investors will be able to buy and sell Chinese bonds. The authorities have not yet indicated when Chinese investors will be able to trade Hong Kong and overseas bonds, known as "Southbound" trading. Access to China's bond market through the programme will remain restricted to overseas institutional investors such as banks, insurance companies, securities companies and fund managers. Trades through the "Bond Connect" will not be subject to quotas. China granted eligible foreign institutional investors access to its interbank bond market in 2016, but the "Bond Connect" should add another, more convenient channel for foreigners looking to access the world's third largest bond market via Hong Kong, the regulators have said. However, market participants expect muted uptake of Chinese onshore bonds initially, due to ongoing fears over the depreciation of the yuan amid capital outflows and other technical investment hurdles. The People's Bank of China has taken steps to support the yuan, moving in May to set it daily at the mid-point and raising the cost of short-selling the currency. While pressure on the yuan has eased recently, authorities have continued to see the "Bond Connect" programme as an opportunity to attract global capital inflows.
