Alibaba teams up with Samsung, Louis Vuitton and other brands to fight counterfeit goods

0

NewsHubJust weeks after revealing its first court case against sellers of counterfeit goods, Alibaba has again pledged to increase its focus on fake goods after it announced a partnership with 20 global consumer brands.
Louis Vuitton, Samsung and Mars are among the big names to sign up to the not-exactly-innovatively-named ‘Alibaba Big Data Anti-Counterfeiting Alliance.’ Swatch-maker Swarovski is also on board, having recently worked with Alibaba to take alleged two sellers of fraudulent watches to court in China.
The alliance aims to increase the sharing of information on fake goods between Alibaba and some of its highest profile brands. Alibaba’s said that its existing system scans over 10 million listings on its e-commerce sites each day and, it added, it helped remove 380 million fake listings, shut down some 180,000 sellers and put “hundreds of counterfeiters” behind bars.
Alibaba said alliance members will “pool resources and increase collaboration” to stamp out more fake goods and sellers, but the actual details are fairly vague.
“Alibaba will provide alliance members with big data and advanced technological support in their IP enforcement work, including helping to block, screen and take down infringing listings,” the company said in announcement.
Brands, it added, “have committed to share their expertise on IP authentication and anti-counterfeiting data with Alibaba.” That data will help the Chinese e-commerce giant collaborate with authorities and brands to pursue legal action and run further investigations.
“The most powerful weapon against counterfeiting today is data and analytics, and the only way we can win this war is to unite,” Jessie Zheng, chief platform governance officer at Alibaba, said in a statement.
But timing is also everything. This second PR push — the first was the Swarovski case — comes weeks after Alibaba returned to the U. S. government’s list of notorious counterfeit platforms after a four year absence. Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang chalked the return down to “protectionism,” but, if nothing else, it has certainly spurred the company’s marketing team into action.
In another recent move designed to boost its reputation in the U. S., Alibaba president Jack Ma pledged to create one million new jobs in America. That came last week after a meeting with U. S. President Elect Donald Trump who, as you might have guess, was quick to take credit even though most pundits are skeptical that Alibaba can pull the ambitious goal off.

16年の対外直接投資44%増 中国当局は資本流出を警戒

0

NewsHub中国商務省は16日、2016年の対外直接投資額(金融を除く)が1701億1千万ドル(約19兆4千億円)だったと発表した。過去最高額とした15年に比べ44・1%増加した。中国政府は海外への資本流出を食い止めようと対外投資を行う企業への管理・監督を強化している。 対外投資の増加は、中国企業が国際競争力を高めようと海外企業の合併・買収(M&A)を積極的に行ったことが主因。人民元の先安観から企業が外貨資産の購入を進めたことも一因とみられている。 中国政府の監督強化に伴い、16年12月単月の対外直接投資額は急減、前年同月比39・4%減の84億1千万ドルとなった。 16年通年の対外直接投資のうち中国企業の海外M&Aは742件に上り、取引額は1072億ドル。(共同)

安倍首相、巡視船供与を表明=南シナ海問題で結束-日越首脳会談

0

NewsHubベトナムのハノイに到着し、グエン・スアン・フック首相(右)と握手する安倍晋三首相=16日(AFP=時事)
【ハノイ時事】 安 倍 晋 三 首相は16日午後(日本時間同日夕)、ベトナムのグエン・スアン・フック首相とハノイの首相府で会談した。両首脳は、中国が軍事拠点構築を進める南シナ海の安定化に向け、結束して対処することを確認。ベトナムの海上保安能力向上のため、安倍首相は新造巡視船6隻の供与を表明した。 南シナ海問題に関し、両首脳は武力による威嚇を行わず、国際法に基づき対話し、関係国が自制することが重要との認識で一致した。 両首脳は、アジアの平和と安定、経済発展に果たす米国の役割について、トランプ次期米大統領の理解を得ることが重要だとし、トランプ氏にアジアの政治や安全保障の現状を説明していくことを申し合わせた。 トランプ氏が環太平洋連携協定(TPP)の離脱方針を掲げる中、両首脳はTPPを前提としてアジア経済が米国にもたらす利益についても理解が必要との認識を共有。TPPとアジア広域の域内包括的経済連携(RCEP)を通じた自由貿易体制を維持することも確認した。 安倍首相は、気候変動対策への支援や下水道など新規のインフラ整備に約1200億円の円借款供与を約束した。 ベトナムは昨年、日本とロシアが支援する原発建設計画を白紙撤回。安倍首相は「中止の決定は大変残念だ」と述べた上で、新たに石炭火力や液化天然ガス(LNG)といったエネルギー支援を提案。フック首相は、これを歓迎した。(2017/01/16-23:28)

米軍属の範囲、厳格化…日米が補足協定を締結

0

NewsHub日米両政府は16日、日米地位協定が定める軍属の対象範囲を縮小する補足協定を締結した。 岸田外相とケネディ駐日米大使が署名し、即日発効した。沖縄県で2016年4月に起きた米軍属による女性殺害事件を受けた再発防止策の一環だ。補足協定は地位協定を補うもので、法的拘束力を持つ。公務中の犯罪に米側の優先的な裁判権がある軍属の認定を厳格化することで、日本側の裁判権の対象範囲が拡大することになる。 日米地位協定は従来、米国籍の文民で米軍に雇用され、勤務する者などを軍属としてきたが、定義が曖昧だとの批判が出ていた。そこで、今回の補足協定は軍属について、「日米合同委員会が作成する種別(カテゴリー)に従って認定する」と規定。合同委員会が16日に合意した内容によると、〈1〉米政府予算などで雇用される文民〈2〉米軍が運航する船舶などの文民〈3〉米軍に福利厚生サービスなどを提供する機関の被雇用者〈4〉米軍が発注する仕事を請け負う民間企業従業員――などを軍属に分類することになった。

日本郵政株の追加売却検討 震災の復興財源確保で

0

NewsHub政府は保有している日本郵政の株式について、このところ株価が上昇してきたことから、東日本大震災の復興財源に充てようと、追加で売却する検討に入りました。 政府は、東日本大震災の復興財源として、保有する日本郵政の株式を売却して4兆円程度を確保する計画で、まず、おととし11月の株式上場に合わせた売却で、およそ1兆4000億円を確保しました。 日本郵政の株式は、その後、日銀のマイナス金利政策の影響で収益が減少したことなどから、上場の際の売り出し価格の1株1400円を下回る状況が続きましたが、このところの株価の上昇を受け、16日の終値では1408円まで回復してきました。 こうしたことから政府は、復興財源に充てる残りの2兆6000億円程度を確保していこうと、日本郵政の株式を追加で売却する検討に入ったものです。 政府は、株式の売り出しなどを担当する証券会社の選定を始めていて、今後株式市場の動向などを見極めながら、売却の時期や規模を探ることにしていて、早ければことしの7月以降に追加の売却に踏み切る方向です。

Samsung heir formally accused of bribery by prosecutors

0

NewsHubJay Y. Lee, de facto head of Samsung Group.
A South Korean prosecutor has requested an arrest warrant be issued for the acting head of Samsung Group, Jay Y. Lee.
Lee is accused of bribing the suspended South Korean president, Park Geun-hye, in the form of multi-million dollar donations to organisations allegedly connected to President Park, reports The New York Times .
Donations were made to two foundations controlled by Park’s friend and confidant, Choi Soon-sil. Special prosecutor Park Young-soo last week made the accusation that these donations were bribes, given in exchange to get the South Korean pension fund to back a 2015 merger between two of Samsung Group’s holding companies.
The merger, between Samsung’s C&T Corp. construction and trading business and its Cheil Industries chemicals business, helped solidify the Lee family’s grip on Samsung Group. The merger was polarizing among shareholders , and the South Korean pension fund, which held an 11.6 percent stake in Samsung C&T and a 5 percent stake in Cheil Industries, was key in it getting approved.
Lee is the vice chairman of Samsung, but has been acting as the company’s de facto head since his father Lee Kun-Hee was hospitalized in 2014 following a heart attack.
On Monday in a public hearing, Choi denied any part of the merger. „Even if I knew, I could not have passed on any information because I have no knowledge about mergers or hedge funds, anything like that, in the first place,“ she said, according to Reuters.
Last month, Lee testified in a National Assembly hearing that he had nothing to do with Samsung’s choice to make $17 million in donations to Choi, reported The New York Times. Instead, he suggested the company was a victim of extortion rather than a participant of bribery.
On Monday, prosecutor Park said he had asked of a Seoul court for an arrest warrant to be issued for Lee. The court has not yet granted the request, according to the NY Times.
Samsung was contacted for comment but did not immediately respond.
South Korea’s government has been in an uneasy state over allegations that President Park confided in her friend Choi, who has no official role in the government. Choi in turn has been accused of extorting millions in bribes. Prosecutors have indicted Choi and two of Park’s former aids for extortion, fraud and divulging classified information. Millions of protesters have gathered on the streets to demand Park’s ouster, and the Korean National Assembly last month voted to impeach her.

Microsoft confirms Windows 10 Game Mode plans

0

NewsHubMicrosoft has confirmed that Windows 10 will be getting a new high-performance ‚Game Mode‘ in the Creators Update, though details are scant at present. Microsoft has officially confirmed that the Windows 10 Creators Update, due to launch later this year, will include the previously rumoured ‚Game Mode‘ feature in an effort to ‚ make Windows 10 the best Windows ever for gaming. ‚
Part of an update which brings a focus on 3D modelling, printing, and other maker-themed functions – hence the subtitle Creators Update – the next major upgrade for Windows 10 was rumoured to include a special ‚Game Mode.‘ Said mode has now been officially confirmed by Microsoft, which has released a few scant details on the feature ahead of its pre-release availability to those signed up to the Windows Insider beta-testing programme.
‚ Our goal is to make Windows 10 the best Windows ever for gaming. With the Creators Update, we’re introducing a new feature called Game Mode, ‚ Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra explained in a blog post announcing the feature. ‚ Windows Insiders will start seeing some of the visual elements for Game Mode this week, with the feature being fully operational in builds shortly thereafter. Our vision is for Game Mode to optimise your Windows 10 PC for increased performance in gaming. This is a big update for Windows; we’re looking forward to Insiders getting their hands on this new feature for further testing, and we’ll have much more to share on what it is and how it works soon, so stayed tuned. ‚
While Ybarra has been so far silent on exactly how the functionality works, it’s possible to make a few educated guesses. Third-party game optimisation software typically operates in three ways: pushing memory contents out of RAM and into swap by filling then emptying RAM before loading a game; shutting down background tasks like web browsers; and by running the game threads at a higher-than-normal priority setting. How many of these functions Game Mode will include, however, is up in the air at present.
As part of the same blog post, Ybarra also confirmed that the Beam game footage streaming functionality was to become a default on both the Xbox One and Windows 10 following the update. Windows 10 users, Ybarra explained, will be able to stream by pressing the Super + G keyboard shortcut and clicking the ‚Broadcast‘ button; Xbox One users can access the same feature from within the Guide by pressing the logo button on the controller.
Microsoft has yet to announce an official launch date for the Windows 10 Creators Update, with previous leaks suggesting a March or April window.
