Citing the Dadong in a media release, the structural problems of the French economy and the declining international competitiveness. In the midst of crisis and saving € delusion medium no growth of the Grande Nation was to be expected. Dadong says a French growth for next year ahead of only 0.3 percent. This is far less than the percentage that predicts the French government.

Dadong provides not the first time for excitement in dealing with the big players in the financial world. The first rating agency at all, they had trimmed down in November 2010, the United States to A +. So that they rated the country worse than China. Italy and Japan also recently had to believe it.

Unzimperliche The President

Unzimperlich Just as the assessment methods is also the language of Guang Jianzhong, president of Dadong. “In our opinion, the U.S. is already in default on its interest payments,” he said in June this year compared with the Global Times, as the politicians in Washington still fought to increase the debt ceiling. By the U.S. permanently with their debt policy the value of the dollar reduced reported the victims are creditors like China, Guang criticized. Beijing holds U.S. debt worth over $ 1 trillion.

Founded in 1994, Dadong

Evaluates the creditworthiness of countries according to criteria other than the Western rating agencies. What interested Dadong, had the effect that had the system of a country on his economic management, the president said in a lengthy interview by Jutta Lietsch in Taz.de. The competitive ability and growth of industries would stand in the center and not the gross domestic per capita or openness of a country.

Criticism of U.S. agencies

For Guang Jiangzhong have served the U.S. rating agencies. Dadong recognition is to the west and breaks the monopoly of western rating, for it seems only a matter of time. After all, is the China's second largest economy and a major lender. Sun Guang said in an interview with the Taz.de: “It's reasonable, if the creditors evaluate the creditworthiness of borrowers and not vice versa.”

The unexpected Advertising

According to market researcher Nielsen NetRatings Japan was Facebook with 11.3 million visitors in October from 8.38 million to Mixi. Contributed to this development, Mark Zuckerberg himself, as he acknowledged Japan Japan last year, a new priority and the most important growth market said.

Ironically, even in Japan helped the successful film The Social Network with the new awareness. That is reflected in, the rise of Facebook founder not only in a positive light seems irrelevant.

Mixi goes on Twitter

Mixi are the golden years past, even if it pulls the numbers from Nielsen in doubt. Since going public in 2006, the stock has lost its value constant. The closed regional system, Mixi, there are only in Japanese, has become a disadvantage compared to the global Facebook. In addition, Mixi is usually only used for the care of the most intimate circle of friends.

Order not to lose the connection, Kenji Kasahara is now a cooperative one with Twitter. The U.S. enjoys microblogging network in Japan with 14.5 million users per month, even more popular than Facebook. Mixi hopes to get broader access to the Internet market.

Experimented Twitter

Twitter is cooperation rather an experiment. It'll be interesting to see what works and what does not, so Twitter-Japan-chief James Kondo. First, a common Christmas app is launched, with congratulations to the users of both networks and can bestow. Also a close cooperation in crisis situations such as after 11 March is planned. Just at that time, Twitter turned out in Japan as a vital information provider.

Although Tepco expects to increase the power consumption, the necessary 57 million kilowatts could by investing in other energy sources such as hydro or thermal power plants will be compensated.

Different readings

Previously it was called

Of pages Tepcos always that nuclear power is the main pillar of Japan's energy supply. From this standpoint, attention is also not from you, says the official against Kyodo.

The assessment you just wanted to say that the probability is high that it would come even without nuclear power plants next summer to no power outages, so the official version.

Only two reactors in operation by Tepco

Tepco

Electricity producer whose coverage area, the Great Tokyo region and the Northeast includes, in possession of 17 of the 54 Japanese reactors. At present, however, only 2 of these 17 reactors in operation, both located in the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture.

All others are either

By the disaster has failed completely or had to be shut down temporarily because of the legally mandated security controls. But these last two reactors at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in January and March have to be shut down for inspection.

So there is a high probability that Tepco soon about no longer possesses the connected reactors. For the governor of Niigata prefecture, Hirohiko Izumida, has already indicated its opposition to a reopening of abandoned nuclear reactors in Kashiwazaki-Kariwa.

Soon no more reactor in operation?

This trend can be observed throughout the country. Currently there are only 11 of 54 reactors in operation in Japan. Most of them were shut down routinely – in Japan must be tested for safety by law, the reactors every 13 months. Because Fukushima refuse but local governments and residents for months, this boot up again. Only in one exceptional case, a reactor in Kyushu was turned back on. Arranged by the government stress tests are expected to provide clarity about the safety of nuclear power.

This leads to tension among employees and in Pyongyang for red heads. The government in the communist country would prefer to see instead of the Choco Pies hard currency, as reported by the Joong Ang Daily.

But on a fixed

“Prime Minister Koizumi listened to me sometimes,” he said in a 2006 interview with The New York Times. And when Koizumi no longer listening, Watanabe turned away from him. In the 1980s, Watanabe was even as the secret power broker in politics. They called him the shadow shogun. Former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, he is close to this day.

The Power Word

By the way, is

Tsuneo Watanabe also president of the Yomiuri Giants, the company's tradition of baseball club from Tokyo. Similarly, one Silvio Berlusconi at AC Milan, it is accustomed to Tsuneo Watanabe, speak now and then a word of power. Thus replaced the 85-year-old last week to hold on their own short hand the coach of the team, although the Board had previously decided on the status quo want to.

In a specially convened press conference

Protested CEO Kiyotake, in the presence of his lawyer and full of tears in his eyes, the power to conduct Watanabe. “The president has with his actions undermined the authority of the General Manager,” said Kiyotake. Watanabe had thus placed on the internal rules. “His ruthless approach is not only a fraud on the coach, but also to the fans.”

There were unusually strong words that are barely heard in Japan. And Kiyotake drew an insightful comparison. “People in a position of power should not ignore the internal rules and controls, as we have seen in the case of Olympus.”

The small revolution

Camera maker Olympus is currently experiencing a scandal of devastating magnitude. The top management level has to answer for accounting fraud in the billions. Revealed it was the newly appointed UK CEO Michael Woodford, who had pointed to internal irregularities and was subsequently dismissed. The publication of the fraud was able to prevent the executive suite but no longer.

General manager Hidetoshi Kiyotake has apparently inspired by the British sacked Woodford. Tsuneo Watanabe itself has held back with a response yet.

There is a small revolution, which provides quite a few corporate and social self-evident question in Japan.
