It's time it tackled common problems through concerted action

Sometimes, I despair of Asia's ability, literally, to get its act together. There have been numerous examples recently of events where some sort of concerted Asian response would have been desirable, even if only to make political and administrative leaders aware of the need for possible action.

So, let me propose a new Asian Secretariat with a hotline to presidential, prime ministerial  or cabinet offices throughout Asia.

First, soaring food and energy prices. Here is an obvious area where concerted regional action is warranted, whether to discuss issues such as availability of grain stocks and questions of distribution, or to share experiences (and maybe even come up with a common policy) on energy subsidies.

It was left to the Asian Development Bank to work out some kind of regional response on both issues, but the ADB is not a soverign policy-making body.

Food and energy issues have a global dismension and there are agencies such as the UN Food and Agriculture Organization or the International Energy Agency to deal with them at an international level. But it could do nothing but good to have a rapid response capability in Asia to supplement such mechansims.

For example, Japan has opened its rice stockpile to the Philippines, a move that surely should have been discussed in a regional context.

The surge in food and energy costs has forced inflation up to the top of the agenda for some governments and central banks in Asia (not least in Vietnam where inflation is now at an astonishing annualised rate of 25 per cent).

This, too, is a common regional problem that requires (demands) a common regional response, including possible joint action to appreciate currencies to reduece inflationary pressures.

I learned this week from reliable sources that, far from working towards such joint responses, Asian finance ministers are now backing away from the idea of any joint monetary initiative. Their view now, it appears, is that the yen has missed its chance to become a peg currency for Asia and the yuan is not yet ready.

In the meantime, a currency basket or Asian currency unit that could aid in joint revaluation of regional currencies is off the agenda.

Another example: US assistant secretary for nuclear energy Dennis Spurgeon came to Tokyo last week proclaiming loudly that nuclear generation of electricity (as an alternative to oil and other fossil fuels) is firmly back on the global agenda.

The US and Japan intend to cooperate on a major programme of research and development in nuclear power and on financing and building nuclear reactors, he declared.

Though the US offical did not say so in so many words, the thrust of his message was that, where the US and Japan give a lead, the rest of Asia should be content to follow.

Yet, if ever there was an area in which regional consultation and policy making is desirable, it is here. Is the rest of Asia really happy to 'go nuclear' in a big way just because the US and Japan say that it's the way to go and that it's safe (even while China is voicing fears about 'radiation sources' buried by the earthquake in Sichuan province). On teh subject of earthquaekes, the Financial Times reported this week that Swiss Re-the world's bigest reinsurance company- is at an advanced state of negotiations with four Asian governements to sell insurance policies that would pay out hunders of millions o fdollars in emergency and nationwide funding following a natural disaster. (Think of the Chengdu earthquake or Myanmar cyclone).

Score one for Swiss Re's opportunism but again where is the Asian initiative and joint response capability on such issues? It so happens that some 20 years ago, a very forward-thinking financial official in the Philippines came up with the idea of establishing an Asian reinsurance corporation or market to meet exactly such contingencies.

The idea got short shrift from Manila's neighbours because they judged it too rishy. Now that Europeans are suggesting it, presumably it will be judged respectabel. Whenever you look, it seems that Asian policymakers are too timid or unimaginative to pursure regional initiatives seriously, in anything from an Asian Monetary Fund or currency cooperation to adopting a common approach to food and energy issues.

And, when they do occasionally move, it seems to be at a pace that puts snails and tortoises comfortable out in front of the field.

So, why not establish a jointly funded governemnt secretariat, or call it what you will, with offices in all regional capitals of Asia, staffed by officicals whose job is to alert political leaders of issues that appear to require a regional response.

Their duties would be limited to reporting. If a sufficient number of the leaders felt that some reaction was justified, a regional summit could be convened, among leaders themselves or their representatives.

This would be different from the numerous think-tanks and working groups taht exist already in this region and whose measured pace of proceeding is not suited at all to the multiple challenges that crop up almost continuously.

Such a mechanism, although having only an advisory or alerting function initially, could create dialogue amony Asian leaders outside of occasional summits and chance encounters on the sidelines of other meetings.

It could then become an Asian community secretariat or commission. There may be better ideas but the need for Asian leaders to meet and talk on a regular basis than at presnet surely cannot be denied.

中国人无所不能！！！
我们把那些国外牌子捧红了，养胖了，NND，回头都成了喂不熟的狗了

时有王石者，其父从王震征新疆，有功，震爱其父，以之为柳州铁路局长，及石长，时广东省督以女妻之，石倚父翁之名望，行商贾之事，无不应手而解，后以房产 为业，竟积身家亿万。石好登山，每出，必耗资巨万；其行小善一事，必刻石以记，好自作传记，开博客，延枪手，其所售房产多巨幅书其事，图其影，以为宣传， 其好名如此。

洪朝五十九年四月初八，川中汶川大震，祸及数百里，灾民不绝于道，号呼动于天地，举国哀悼。庙堂之上者，引车卖浆之下者，富商巨贾，黎民百姓，无不慷慨解囊，热血相助，中华竟因此隐隐而有复兴之象焉。

石放言曰，灾为常态，所属仆从人捐十文可也，多捐则为负担矣。言一出，闻者无不大哗，继而责之以义。石于其博客舌辩之，不逞，遂闭其言路，不纳众人。四月十二日，御驾亲赴川中救灾，忽有闻，石已通工部侍郎及川道相关员，言谈间已定灾后商计矣。

商贾之道，固有无利不起，亦有道义存焉。时富豪如和黄李氏，台塑王氏，江苏陈氏者，无不倾资以救国难，贩夫走卒、乞儿戏子，踊跃救难者，一一难书。国难 当头，石前发冷言于公众，后谋私利于暗室，不亦鄙乎？时有人讽石曰：公可跨世界高山，可跨汶川一坟乎？道义不存而富，是为为富不仁也。

四川地震来袭，举世震惊，万科集团问悉后在震灾当天决定以总部名义向灾区人民捐献200.000000000万元巨款，金额达到了目不见经传的香港艺人成 龙捐款数额的 0.20000000倍，或一套深圳100.0000000平米的房产的售价。或者是07年总利润的0.0450000000000％。至于公司职员的个 人捐款，公司正在紧急组织之中，王总向记者表示，他自己的个人捐款保证一定会达到公司规定的10.0000000元的上限。

听到 王总的保证，记者不禁感动得泪流满面。

为一个凭着个人的聪明才智跻身与亿万富豪俱乐部并多次在富豪榜上有名的成功人士，还有这种心系灾区，与灾区人民同呼吸共患难高尚品格无不让人感 到深深的震撼，谁说地产界为富不仁？王总以自己的行动给了我们响亮的回答。其实大家不是很了解王总，很多人误解王总总以为王总很有钱，在这里我可以负责任 的告诉大家，王总其实没有大家现象的那样富有，今年儿子结婚，才请了290人办了30座，为了节约总共开销才400万不到，婚礼上用的车也不多，限量版奔 驰迈凯伦 SLR才来了２台，大家要知道，这种汽车全球有10多台啊！这次才来了2台，面对孝顺的儿子，王总充满了内疚和自责。

这次四川人民遭受建国以来最大的自然灾害，王总本着再苦不能苦灾民，在穷不能穷灾区的伟大情操，从并不宽裕的资金中拿出10.000000巨款 捐赠灾区人民，向灾区人民奉献上自己的一片爱心，为了拿出这笔巨款，王总必须要少喝半口酒，少抽半支烟，这对王总来说要忍受多么巨大痛苦啊。

我们王总平时有登峰的爱好，经济负担很重，很不宽裕。你想想：
１９９９年５月,玉珠峰，海拔６１７８米，等顶, 合计花费256万.
２０００年４月，章子峰，海拔７１４３米，登顶,合计花费328万.
２００１年８月，慕士塔格峰，海拔７５４６米，登顶,合计花费365万.
２００２年２月，非洲乞利马扎罗山，海拔５８９５米，登顶,合计花费240万.
２００２年５月，北美洲麦金利峰，海拔６１９４米，登顶,合计花费235万.
２００３年５月，珠穆朗玛峰，海拔８８４８米，登顶,合计花费360万.
２００３年１２月，南极最高峰文森峰，海拔５１４０米，登顶,合计花费205万.

２００４年７月，欧洲最高峰厄尔布鲁士峰，海拔５６４２米，登顶,365万
２００４年７月，澳洲最高峰科修斯科峰，海拔２２２８米，登顶,合计花费234万.
２００５年４月，滑雪抵达北极点,合计花费282万.
２００５年１２月，顺利抵达南极点,合计花费355万.
２００５年１２月２４日，印度尼西亚 查亚峰，海拔5,030米，登顶,合计花费233万.。

在如此之大的经济负担下，还能持续的对中国这个灾难频发的国家，能够持续的捐款是多么的不容易。王总以爬遍五大州名山的资历用高瞻远瞩的高度用战略性眼光明确指出：中国是个灾害频发的国家，赈灾慈善活动是个常态，企业的捐赠活动应该可持续！　　
        7.8级的地震超过了唐山大地震是常态
到现在为止一周不到死难者2万之众是常态
废墟下那些应该笑若阳光灿烂然而此刻冰冷僵硬的小小尸身是常态
举全国全军之力援助灾区是常态
解放军星夜兼程生死不顾赶赴灾区是常态
全国各地停止娱乐节目播出24小时滚动播出灾区情况是常态
全国民众踊跃捐助慷慨解囊是常态
港澳台三地居民纷纷相助是常态
日本在便利店设置募捐箱是常态
王永庆先生、邵逸夫先生捐资一亿是常态
低保户、乞讨者同样加入援助者之列是常态

 谁？还有谁！还有谁能有王总的这种山高我为峰的博大情怀？还有谁还能在这个时候有如此的淡然自定？这些都让我相形见拙，万般思绪千般感慨汇成一句话：爬遍 五大洲的人就tmd和咱不一样！不仅如此，王总有超出常人的胸襟，就有多数老总无法企及的思想境界，对员工的爱护达到“神”一样的级别，“每次募捐，普通 员工的捐款以10元为限。其意就是不要慈善成为负担”全中国给员工发工资的老板海了去了，但是能有几个能像王总这样悉心帮员工捂住钱袋子的？看到这里时， 我不禁热泪盈眶，控制不住心中的激动，大声呐喊：让我也成为王总的员工吧！

另据透露，在电视台发布了短信捐款的号码后，王总立即放下自己最喜欢喝的轩尼诗人头吗，立即拿出手机准备捐款1元，但是由于四川受灾太严重了，导致通信受阻，王总的短信发不出去，为此，王总到现在还在痛心不已。

看着王总那布满慈祥的面孔，我久久无语，我为中国培养出了这样拥有博大心怀和充满爱心的老总而自豪，对这只求付出不求回报的伟大人格我感到 自惭形秽，万科是好样的，王总更是好样的！为了回报王总和万科这样优秀的、充满了人世间最伟大的社会责任感的企业和企业家，我们除了连夜排队认购万科的精 品房产才还能作什么呢，我们一定要用我们自己的行动让王总感到欣慰，让万科因为这次捐赠遭受到的巨大经济损失减小到最低 。

Every Chinese in America goes to the local small claim court and to file a small claim (0) against CNN and Cafferty. It will cost you or so to do it, you are probably not going to win (since you have no way to prove that you have the 0 financial damage). But it will cost CNN 00 or more to defend each case, they can not counter-su e you either, because you did not cause damage to them. If we have 5000 to do so, they will act right away. You can do it anywhere in USA, the more remote location the better.
..This is what I did.
I filed a small claim in a county small claim court in Kansas. The defandant is TIME WARNER INC.
Address ONE TIME WARNER CENTER
NEW YORK, NY 10019
Telephone2124848000
My claim: Time Warner employee, Jack Cafferty in a publically broadcaste d TV news program (CNN) asserted Chinese are a bunch of 'goons'. This statement severely damaged my credit, which resulted 0 financial loss to my business.
Analysis: 1. why 0?
A:In Kansas, 0 or less, the filing fee is , otherwise it will be .
2.What is the next step?
In Kansas, you just need to use registered mail to mail it to the defendant, other states may require you to use law enforcemen t to serve a summon, which will cost you to .
3. What will happen?
a) If the defendant does not show up, the judge will make a default judgment, that means, Time Warner will pay me 0, plus the court fee.
b) If the defendant send an attorney to the court at the court date, (which is 3 weeks later, the defendant can request a postpone), then the judge will probably make a judgment to the defendant (I lose) since I can not provide evidence that I had the 0 damage. Then I lose the court fee, that is it.
c) The defendant attorney could call me before the court date, try to settle it outside the court, or try to persuade me to withdraw by threatenin g counter-su ing me, (which I know they can't, I did not do anything to cause them damage, suing them does not count).
I am waiting for their call, I am willing to settle outside the court, my request is "CNN fires Jack Cafferty." Otherwise, I will see you in court.
No matter what, it will cost them a lot of money for the attorney fee.
Why not a class-acti on lawsuit?
Can anyone provide evidences that you really suffered material damage? Otherwise, you do not have a case.
Besides, all big companies in US have one kind or another lawsuit ongoing, they are not afraid of one or two lawsuits. But, will they defend 1000 or 5000 suits to protect a worth-less employee?
This is why we need to have as many people as possible to file the suit in as many places as possible.
Can we sue Cafferty only?
No, it is very hard for a local court to enforce a judgment against an out-of-sta te person, many courts will not accept these type of suit. Even the case is accepted, the judge can still dismiss the case, (you will lose your court fee). Even a judgment is made in your favor, you will not be able to collect anything from him.
Can I sue if I am not a US citizen?
Anybody can file the suit. Please do it, this is American experience .
Is there any negative consequenc e on me if I sue?
If you lose, I will lose the court fee. If you are going to apply a mortgage DURING the suit, you need to disclose it , it may not affect your mortgage applicatio n at all. Other than that, no negative effects on you. It will NOT have anything to do with your green card applicatio n.
Will it damage the Chinese image by filing so many lawsuits?
I don't know how will other people think. It is a common practice for Americans. If you do not fight the American way, you lose already, what good is your image for?
Sorry, written in a hurry, there might be mis-information.

以下是翻译

每一个在美的华人都可 以到当地的法院去控告 cnn和卡弗蒂，索赔 500美金。你只需花 50美金。你也可能得不到赔偿，因为你无法证明你遭受500美金 的损失。但每一个案件 就要花掉cnn 1000美金， 而且cnn也不能反告 你，因为你没有给cn n造成损失。如果有5 000个华人这样做，cnn必须马上应诉。你可以在美国任何地方上诉，越偏远的地方越好。

我是这样做的：我在堪沙斯州，我在一民事法庭对cnn及卡弗蒂提出索赔控诉。

cnn的地址：AddressONE TIME WARNER CENTER NEW YORK, NY 10019 Telephone 2124848000

我的理由：cnn的雇员卡弗蒂当众辱骂中国人是一群暴徒和傻子，伤害了我的名誉，导致我损失了500美金。

分析：
1，为什么500美金？在堪萨斯州，500美金以下的案件，我只需出30美金的上诉费，500美金以上，我要付50美金。
2，下一步。我寄挂号信寄给被告。
3， 以后会怎样？ a, 如果被告未出庭，cn n赔我500美金，外加我那30美金诉讼费 。 b, 如果被告的律师出庭，我有可能就输了，因为我拿不出证据，我顶多 就损失那30美金。 c, 对方律师有可能打电话给我要求庭外和解。我 要求解雇卡弗蒂，否则，法庭上见。

无论怎样，cnn要花大笔的律师费。

问：如果我不是美国公民，我可不可以上诉？
答：美国法律说，不是美国公民都可以告。

问：可不可以群体上诉？
答：可以，但效果不好 。因为你提不出证据你 损失了500美金。这就是为什么我们要人多 ，而且要在不同的地方 上诉，越多越好。

今年的雪，特别的大，
爸爸还有妈妈，回不了家。

有群坏人，来把人吓，
烧了我的学校，砸我的花。

那个喇嘛，叽里呱啦，
长鼻子的洋人，假装眼瞎。

巴黎铁塔，伦敦警察，
抱火炬的姐姐，人见人夸。

汽笛嘟嘟，铁轨哗哗，
去天堂的列车，还没到达。

龙又翻身，大地垮塌，
教室的瓦砾下，埋了童话。

重重的墙，将老师压，
我们在他身下，都很听话。

没过很久，听到喇叭，
外面有个爷爷，叫我别怕。

叔叔的手，使劲地挖，
解放军的飞机，送我回家。

经过灾难，我已长大，
永远不会忘记，二零零八...
