Gillard: Australia must embrace 'Asian Century'

By Monica Attard, for CNN

October 30, 2012 -- Updated 1329 GMT (2129 HKT)

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard arrives to speak at the Lowy Institute on October 28.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Australia launches a new policy aimed at tying its economic future to a rising Asia
• Would require every student to study an Asian language and culture by 2025
• Creates a new ministry of Asian Century Policy to drive educational and investment reforms
• Seeks to increase agricultural and university investment to cater to newly rich Asian neighbors

(CNN) -- Every Australian child should learn Mandarin, Hindi or other regional language as the nation's future is tied to the rise of the "Asian Century," Prime Minister Julia Gillard said in a policy speech on Sunday.

"Whatever else this century brings, it will bring Asia's return to global leadership, Asia's rise. This is not only unstoppable, it is gathering pace," Gillard said in a long-awaited policy white paper entitled, "Australia in The Asian Century."

The policy outlines 25 objectives Australia must achieve by 2025 to take advantage of Asia's rise to boost the wealth of Australians.

Chief among the goals are that every child learn an Asian language, in particular Mandarin, Japanese, Indonesian or Hindi, and that they leave school having studied Asian culture.

Opinion: The speech every woman should hear

''Children in kindergarten now will graduate from high school with a sound working knowledge of Asia,'' Gillard said at the Lowy Institute in Sydney where she unveiled the white paper.

The Prime Minister said "a hundred years ago we spoke of the working man's paradise. Today we speak of the high school, high-wage road. We have always wanted to do it our way.

"We long saw Asia as a threat to all this - racially, militarily, and economically. Indeed this was precisely the moral paradox of the working man's paradise. A hundred years ago, high wages meant white man's wages. No more," she said.

While the Australian economy has ridden high on the back of the mining boom and commodity sales to Asia, Gillard said the next economic wave will be pushed by the burgeoning Asian middle classes. Broadening technology in agriculture and raising the global rankings of Australia's schools and universities will help meet increased regional demand from newly wealthy Asian neighbors, Gillard said.

"More middle class people than there are anywhere else on earth will want access to clean food, high quality food, high quality wine the same way we do. This is a huge opportunity for regional Australia. And we want people out there ready," she told a media conference after her speech.

The Gillard government will create a new ministry of Asian Century Policy to drive the reforms across education, infrastructure, tax and regulatory reform.

Australia's prime minister comes out swinging in sexism row

If the objectives are met, Gillard predicts about one-third of the Australian economy will be tied to Asia, up from 25% in 2011, and the average national income will increase to A$73,000 (US$75,700) per person, up from the current A$62,000. The white paper notes that Australia will seek to stay competitive by abandoning its historic fear of low Asian wages and by becoming a "higher skill, higher wage economy with a fair, multicultural and cohesive society and a growing population."

Kathe Kirby, the executive director of Asia Education Foundation at the University of Melbourne, says the paper sets out a deep vision for Australia's future "which starts with our young people at school."

"It encompasses reform in the education sector, schools, universities, vocational education. It's a much broader and deeper plan than we've seen to date. This is not a government report. It's government policy," she told Sky News.

Gillard also noted the broader geopolitical ambitions for Australia between military ally Washington and economic ally Beijing.

In tacit acknowledgment of the criticism of her government's deference to the United States in Asia, she said "We have an ally in Washington -- respect in Beijing -- and more, an open door in Jakarta and Delhi, Tokyo and Seoul."

"We in this paper are focusing on the huge economic transformations happening in our region. We are not focusing on the mature economy of the United States," she later told a media conference.

The United States is Australia's third biggest trading partner and a recent survey by the Lowy Institute shows a majority of those polled believe the U.S. to be Australia's most important security partner.

Opposition party members are broadly supportive of the government's ambitions for deeper economic and social engagement with Asia, but skeptical it can be delivered.

"It is full of laudable goals but not very many specific initiatives and certainly no commitment of money to any of them," said opposition leader Tony Abbott.

"To some extent this government is scrambling to overcome some serious failures in its relationship with Asia," he said, "most notably the early ban on uranium sales to India, only just reversed, and the catastrophic ban on live cattle sales to Indonesia, which still has ramifications."

Polls show the Prime Minister's goals for greater Asian engagement are broadly accepted by Australians. But there are caveats.

According to a Lowy Institute poll, a majority felt Australia did not fall into recession in the global financial crisis because of Asian demand for Australian resources. However some 56% thought there was too much investment from China and 63% were strongly opposed to allowing foreign companies to buy Australian farmland to grow crops or farm livestock .....

 

Is this news real from The U.N ? ( to establish ongoing Investigations , Obama's drone war. )

                   

UN to Establish Ongoing Investigations into Obama’s Drone War

Citing reports of follow-up strikes and targeting of funerals, the UN investigator said war crimes may have been committed

by John Glaser, October 25, 2012

The United Nations has decided to set up an investigations unit dedicated to examining the legality of drone attacks and uncovering cases in which civilians are killed in the Obama administration’s drone war.
The announcement was made by Ben Emmerson, a UN special rapporteur, in a recent speech to Harvard law school in which he condemned secret rendition and waterboarding as crimes under international law.
Emmerson, along with several other colleagues at the UN, called for effective investigations into drone attacks this past summer, warning that some US drone strikes in Pakistan may amount to war crimes.
In his Harvard speech, he said: “If the relevant states are not willing to establish effective independent monitoring mechanisms…then it may in the last resort be necessary for the UN to act.
“Together with my colleague Christof Heyns, [the UN special rapporteur on extra-judicial killings], I will be launching an investigation unit within the special procedures of the [UN] Human Rights Council to inquire into individual drone attacks.”
Emmerson argued that the Washington’s claim that it can target for assassination with drones anybody, anywhere in the world because it is an international conflict was indefensible.
“The global war paradigm has done immense damage to a previously shared international consensus on the legal framework underlying both international human rights law and international humanitarian law,” he said. “It has also given a spurious justification to a range of serious human rights and humanitarian law violations.
“The [global] war paradigm was always based on the flimsiest of reasoning, and was not supported even by close allies of the US. The first-term Obama administration initially retreated from this approach, but over the past 18 months it has begun to rear its head once again, in briefings by administration officials seeking to provide a legal justification for the drone program of targeted killing in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia …
“[It is] alleged that since President Obama took office at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims and more than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners. Christof Heyns…has described such attacks, if they prove to have happened, as war crimes. I would endorse that view.”

TOKYO —

Senior Japanese and Chinese diplomats have met to discuss a dispute over East China Sea islets that both countries claim, the Japanese government said on Wednesday, underscoring willingness to talk despite a sharp deterioration in ties.
Sino-Japanese relations took a dive after the Japanese government bought the islands, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, from a private Japanese owner in September, triggering violent protests and calls for boycotts of Japanese products across China.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura confirmed talks between Tokyo and Beijing after domestic media reported that Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Chikao Kawai secretly met senior Chinese officials, including his counterpart, Zhang Zhijun, in Shanghai last week to discuss the dispute.
“I am aware of the reports. That was part of the communications going on between Japan and China in various forms and at various levels,” Fujimura told a regular news conference without giving details.
“It just shows we are in constant contact at many levels.”
Following Japan’s purchase of the islands, China sent fishery patrol and marine surveillance vessels to waters near the islets, raising concern that confrontation with Japanese patrol ships could escalate into a broader conflict.
The row with China, the world’s second-largest economy and Japan’s largest trading partner, has prompted the Bank of Japan to cut its outlook for economies in the region.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has described Japan’s security environment as tougher than ever.

                  ON BOARD THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON --
A U.S. aircraft carrier group cruised through the disputed South China Sea on Saturday in a show of American power in waters that are fast becoming a focal point of Washington's strategic rivalry with Beijing.
Vietnamese security and government officials were flown onto the nuclear-powered USS George Washington, underlining the burgeoning military relationship between the former enemies. A small number of journalists were also invited to witness the display of maritime might in the oil-rich waters, which are home to islands disputed between China and the other smaller Asian nations facing the sea.
The visit will likely reassure Vietnam and the Philippines of American support but could annoy China, whose growing economic and naval strength is leading to a greater assertiveness in pressing its claims there. The United States is building closer economic and military alliances with Vietnam and other nations in the region as part of a "pivot" away from the Middle East to Asia, a shift in large part meant to counter rising Chinese influence.
The mission came a day after Beijing staged military exercises near islands in the nearby East China Sea it disputes with U.S ally Japan. Those tensions have flared in recent days.

Japan, US to cancel island drill: report

This file photo shows Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) ships taking part in a fleet review off Sagami Bay, Kanagawa prefecture, on October 14. Japan and the US are dropping plans for a joint drill to simulate the retaking of a remote island from foreign forces amid a row between Tokyo and Beijing over a disputed archipelago, according to a report.

AFP - Japan and the US are dropping plans for a joint drill to simulate the retaking of a remote island from foreign forces amid a row between Tokyo and Beijing over a disputed archipelago, a report said.
The governments are set to cancel the drill as it could provoke further anger from China after a row escalated when Japan last month nationalised some of the disputed islands, also claimed by Beijing, Jiji Press reported late Friday.
The decision to cancel the drill, which would have involved an island that is not part of the disputed chain, was in line with the views of Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's office, the news agency quoted government sources as saying.
No official was immediately available for comment at the Japanese defence ministry.
According to earlier Japanese news reports, the exercise would have been part of broader joint Japan-US manoeuvres due to start in early November.

A Chinese naval flotilla including destroyers sailed through waters near Japanese islands on Tuesday, in what one commentator said was a sign of things to come as China flexes its military muscles. The seven warships -- at least one of which was capable of firing missiles -- passed close to territory internationally recognised as Japanese. The two nations are already embroiled in a bitter wrangle over a separate island chain. A defence ministry spokesman said it was the first time the Chinese navy had used the passage, but Ryo Sahashi, a specialist in international politics at Kanagawa University said it would not be the last. "Generally speaking, China acts in accordance with its government's claims," he said. "It is likely that we will see similar acts repeated in the future," he said, while cautioning it was too early to assess the full meaning of the move. China's increasingly well-funded navy is somewhat hemmed in by the long chain of Japan's Okinawan islands and must pass relatively near them to get into the Pacific from the East China Sea. However, there are gaps between the islands that allow vessels to stay well away from Japan's contiguous zones, an area that extends a further 12 nautical miles beyond the 12 nautical miles of territorial waters. A defence ministry spokesman said the seven Chinese naval ships had been involved in exercises in the Pacific Ocean, and "they passed through a wider space between Okinawa island and Miyako island on their way out" on October 4. "They passed through the narrow strait on the way back, and this is the first time we have confirmed that they passed through this gap," the spokesman said. He said a Japanese spotter aircraft had logged the vessels 49 kilometres (30 miles) south-southeast of Yonaguni island at 7:00 am (2200 GMT Monday). The flotilla comprised two destroyers, at least one of which had missile capacity, two frigates, two submarine rescue ships and one supply ship. "They were moving north, from the Pacific Ocean to the East China Sea," the spokesman said. At one point the vessels entered contiguous waters, a ministry spokeswoman said. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to which both Japan and China are signatories, foreign vessels including military ships have the right to use the contiguous zone. But a state is allowed to exercise control to "prevent infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea", UNCLOS says.

Syrian planes have been banned from Turkish air space, the Turkish foreign ministry has announced.

The ban follows similar restrictions imposed by Syria, after a Syrian plane alleged to be carrying Russian munitions was intercepted by Turkey.
Turkey's ban came in on Saturday night and was communicated to Syria, but was only made public on Sunday.
It applies to civilian aircraft, as military aircraft were already de facto banned, a ministry official said.
The Syrian move followed Turkey's interception on Wednesday of a Syrian jet, which Turkish warplanes forced to land in Ankara.
Turkish officials confiscated what they described as munitions bound for Syria's defence ministry - an allegation disputed by Damascus.
At the time, Turkey warned its own civilian airlines to avoid Syrian air space as a precaution.
Until last year, Turkey and Syria were close allies, says the BBC's James Reynolds, near the Turkey-Syria border.
Now the only things that they still share are a border of 500 miles and an increasing sense of mistrust, our correspondent says.
In June Syria shot down a Turkish warplane, it said by accident, after the jet crossed into Syrian airspace.
Now those same skies will be watched even more closely, our correspondent adds.

Austrian Felix Baumgartner has become the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound, reaching a maximum velocity of 833.9mph (1,342km/h).

In jumping out of a balloon 128,100ft (24 miles; 39km) above New Mexico, the 43-year-old also smashed the record for the highest ever freefall.
He said he almost aborted the dive because his helmet visor fogged up.
It took just under 10 minutes for him to descend. Only the last few thousand feet were negotiated by parachute.

Once down, he fell to his knees and raised his fists in triumph. Helicopter recovery teams were on hand moments later.
"Let me tell you - when I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble. You don't think about breaking records anymore, you don't think about gaining scientific data - the only thing that you want is to come back alive," he said afterwards at a media conference.
None of the new marks set by Baumgartner can be classed as "official" until endorsed by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI).
Its representative was the first to greet the skydiver on the ground. GPS data recorded on to a microcard in the Austrian's chest pack will form the basis for the height and speed claims that are made.

The jump in numbers

• Exit altitude: 128,100ft; 39,045m
• Freefall time: 4'20"
• Freefall distance 119,846ft; 36,529m
• Max velocity: 833.9mph; 1,342.8km/h; Mach 1.24

These will be submitted formally through the Aerosport Club of Austria for certification.

There was concern early in the dive that Baumgartner was in trouble. He was supposed to get himself into a delta position - head down, arms swept back - as soon as possible after leaving his capsule. But the video showed him tumbling over and over.
Eventually, however, he was able to use his great experience, from more than 2,500 career dives, to correct his fall and get into a stable configuration.
Even before this drama, it was thought the mission might have to be called off. As he went through last-minute checks inside the capsule, it was found that a heater for his visor was not working. This meant the visor fogged up as he exhaled.

           

Monks Protest in Myanmar against O.I.C .

History and goals
Since the 19th century, some Muslims had aspired to ummah to serve their common political, economic, and social interests. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the Caliphate after World War I left a vacuum for a pan-Islamic institution. Losing the Six-Day War in 1967 provided the incentive needed. Leaders of Muslim nations met in Rabat to establish the OIC on 25 September 1969.^[2]
According to its charter, the OIC aims to preserve Islamic social and economic values; promote solidarity amongst member states; increase cooperation in social, economic, cultural, scientific, and political areas; uphold international peace and security; and advance education, particularly in the fields of science and technology.^[2]
The flag of the OIC (shown above) has an overall green background (symbolic of Islam). In the centre, there is an upward-facing red crescent enveloped in a white disc. On the disc the words "Allahu Akbar" (Arabic for "God is Great") are written in Arabic calligraphy.
On 5 August 1990, 45 foreign ministers of the OIC adopted the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam to serve as a guidance for the member states in the matters of human rights in as much as they are compatible with the Sharia, or Quranic Law.^[3]
On 24 February 2009, the International Zakat Organization, in cooperation with the Organisation of the Islamic Conferences, announced the selection of the BMB Group to head up the management of the Global Zakat and Charity Fund, with its CEO Rayo Withanage becoming the co-chairman of the zakat fund. The fund is expected to contain 2 billion ringgits in 2010, about US$650 million.^[4]
It changed its name on 28 June 2011 from the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (Arabic: منظمة المؤتمر الإسلامي‎; French: Organisation de la Conférence Islamique) to its current name.^[5]

Demonstrations against the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation spread to the country’s second-largest city on Friday, as thousands of Buddhist monks and laypeople in Mandalay marched to protest the group’s plans to open an office in the former capital Rangoon.
The demonstration came as monks in Sittwe, the capital of western Burma’s conflict-ridden Rakhine state, renewed anti-OIC protests following communal violence in neighboring Bangladesh.
The protesters in Mandalay, who demonstrated peacefully for two hours in an unauthorized march and then dispersed, condemned the OIC plan to open an office in the former capital of Rangoon as an effort to create a foothold in Burma for a religion “under the influence of a foreign power” and pleaded for greater unity among Burma’s ethnic groups.
Friday's march marked the second anti-Muslim protest by Buddhist monks in Mandalay in recent weeks.
"We already have a problem with unity,” said Ashin Wiriya Biwunntha, a monk belonging to the Myawaddy monastery who took part in the Mandalay protest.
“And if the OIC opens its office here, the disunity among us will get worse,” he said.
Noting that the Burmese government and parliament have said they are “listening to the people’s voices,” Ashin Wiriya said, “We have to express our will so that the government can take action.”
Burmese authorities did not grant permission for the protest, but stood by without incident while the number of participants swelled from 500 to about 2,000 as more monks and laypeople joined the march.

Hsieh's Travel to China .

                      Hsieh's   proposal  ;  China   and   Taiwan   have   their  own  constitutions  respectively  and  define   the  cross-strait   relation  in  their   own   ways  .   The   D.P.P.   chairman  Su   Tseng-Chang  responded  that  ,  Hsieh's  visit  is   personal  and  he   does   not  represent   the   D.P.P.   So  ,   it  is  only  personal  in   nature  . 
               Hsieh's  China  visit   is  as   a  tourist  from   Taiwan  ,  neither  a  member  of  D.P.P.  nor   a  former  Premier   and   senior   member  of  D.P.P. 

                      
When Hsieh met Wang Yi, head of China's Taiwan affairs on Oct. 6, he suggested the China support his 'constitutional consensus' because it is impossible for the Democratic Progressive Party to accept the '1992 consensus' which is considered a tacit agreement between the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang. Hsieh stated that his "constitutional consensus" is an "overlapping consensus" between Taiwan's ruling and opposition parties regarding democracy, freedom, human rights, social welfare and constitutional institutions. By stressing that the "spirit of 1992 dialogue" is "constitutional consensus,"
Hsieh pointed out that the only difference between those two agendas lies in the name. Suggesting a cooperation between those who advocate Taiwan independence and those who call for maintaining the status quo, Hsieh stated that it is the only way to form a stabilizing social consensus in Taiwan.
During his meeting with Dai Bingguo, a close associate to president Hu Jintao, on Oct. 7, Hsieh also suggested the Chinese government give Taiwan more space on the international scene. Since Taiwan is constantly blocked by China in the international arena for attending major international activities, Hsieh stated that Beijing should not oppose Taiwan's participation in key international non-government organizations.
As the secretary-general of the Central Leading Group for Taiwan Affairs under the Communist Party of China, Dai is the highest ranking Chinese official Hsieh met during his four-day visit to China. Issues regarding democracy and public opinion were also discussed by Dai and Hsieh during their meeting. "Given our different developmental experiences, we only exchanged views," said Hsieh when interviewed by the Central News Agency.

               

The U.S. approves Taiwan Visa Waiver Program .

                            It  is  a  special  favour  for  Taiwan  which  has  no   diplomatic  relation   with  the  U.S.  The   U.S   government  will  use   double    edge  sword   policy  over   Taiwan  relation  .  The   U.S.   has   played   a   major  role  in   the  ongoing  Geopolitical  Shift  . 
                       There   is   no   formula  for   how   to   accomplish  the   set   of   complex   tasks,   the  engagement  of  China   and   balancing . 
                       Would  the  U.S.'s   cold   war   strategy   repeat  again  ? 
Whether ,   Taiwan   !  GO  GO    !   or  NEXT  !  


After Taiwan gained visa-waiver status from the United States on Oct. 2, many internet users from mainland China expressed their admiration for the Taiwanese government by comparing the usefulness of the green passport used by Taiwan to the red passport used by China, reports by our sister newspaper Want Daily.
Taiwan was declared the seventh nation in the Asia-Pacific region, after Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Brunei and South Korea, to receive the waiver by Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, 2 days ago.
Starting in November, Taiwanese travelers visiting the United States will no longer need to wait in line to apply for a visa from the American Insititute in Taiwan. All that is needed is a visit to the website of the Department of Homeland Security and an online submission of the Electronic System for Travel Authorization. The whole process costs a mere US$14.



 

Since Jason C. Yuan, the chief representative of the Republic of China to the United States, will be relieved from his position on Oct. 4, the Department of Homeland Security decided to declare the visa-waiver status for Taiwan before his departure. Liu Shih-chung, the director of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party's Department of International Affairs, also thanked the United States for putting Taiwan onto their visa-waiver list.
