   (CRS Report for Congress)
   Washington, D.C: Congressional Research Service, January 10, 2011, 80 pages.
   "Despite apparently consistent statements in four decades, the U.S. 'one China' policy concerning Taiwan remains somewhat ambiguous and subject to different interpretations. Apart from questions about what the 'one China' policy entails, issues have arisen about whether U.S. Presidents have stated clear positions and have changed or should change policy, affecting U.S. interests in security and democracy."

   "China's military sent a signal to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates when it unveiled its new J-20 stealth fighter rolling up and down a runway just before his visit. We do not actually know how stealthy the J-20 is, but aviation experts were generally surprised that China was able to develop this advanced an aircraft as quickly as it did.

   "China's President Hu Jintao made a state visit to Washington on January 18-20. Commentators in the United States and China largely pronounced his visit a 'success,' citing a variety of reasons. But the most important reason was the efforts of Presidents Hu and Obama to dispel 'strategic mistrust' between the two sides." (From the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)

This -'Peaceful Rise' theory advanced by China, however, was a matter of debate not only in the United States, but also inside the Chinese Communist Party."

    "I think one of the things I would say about it was that the United States, in going into these negotiations and throughout them, we believe that the result was we purposefully, with intention, constructed a document that in no way violates any of Taiwan's interests.  And I would say that we kept Taiwan in mind during the process of negotiating the document."

    7 pages.
    "The latest IMF-led official consensus is that the world will follow a "three-speed" recovery in 2011, with the eurozone growing slowly (1.2 percent Q4 on Q4), big emerging markets quickly (7 percent on the same basis), and the United States roughly in between (3.2 percent). At the global level, using the IMF's standard purchasing power parity (PPP) weights, this implies global growth will be 4.5 percent, comparing the fourth quarter of 2011 with the fourth quarter of 2010. This would be down slightly, on a comparable basis, from 2010 (4.7 percent) and just above what the IMF expects for 2012 (4.4 percent)." (From Peter G.

    "When we look at the economy right now, most economists are saying 5.5 percent, that's it, we're going to 4; the economy's going to grow at 4, 4.5 percent. My answer is you're not paying attention to the credit story. Consumer balance sheets are not yield. I'm not saying if consumers were given the opportunity to spend they wouldn't go out and spend; yes, they will. But the banks who control the flow of credit to the consumer sector are not in a position to let them leverage. " (From U.S. Department of State)

    U.S. Department of State, February 8, 2011, 13 pages.
    "Let me say at the outset that I think it's wonderful that the State Department is focusing on contemporary issues of human trafficking and slavery. Too often, the public sees this as simply an historic problem, one that does not exist in the 21st century, and obviously, we'd be wrong. About 800,000 individuals are trafficked worldwide each year. At any given time, the United States perhaps has as many as 57,000 to 87,000, I think, individuals being trafficked in the United States, and in many instances, forced into contemporary slavery. And we admit somewhere close to about 20,000 individuals who are trafficked each year." (From U.S. Department of State)

We all shape and are shaped by what happens there, all 2 billion of us and counting. And that presents a challenge. To maintain an internet that delivers the greatest possible benefits to the world, we need to have a serious conversation about the principles that will guide us, what rules exist and should not exist and why, what behaviors should be encouraged or discouraged and how."

What is less understood is that the profits from this sinister crime are increasingly being co-opted by an array of organized criminal groups and terrorist entities as a means by which to fund their nefarious operations around the world."
