Introduction
Labor exporting is one of the services,which had made rapid achievements in China.It is belong to the fourth way in the GATS,that is the movement of natural person.
There are a lot Of abundant labor forces in China.While in the developed country, lacking of labor force has become a limited factor to the development because of the dropdown of the birth rate and the population older. The labor force such as Home service,nurse and seamen are general lacked in many countries of the Europe and the American. In Order to make up the indentation of the lacking of labor force, the developed country will consider that they should Loosening the rent service ushers in the policy, and Extend rent service the personnel's importation.
Labor export is an important part of a country's foreign trade, for a large country has rich labor resources like China. there is no doubt ,it is involved in international economic cooperation and to ease the employment pressure, it's a good way to prop up the domestic economy and means. Although in recent years, in the context of liberalization of movement of natural persons in the world, the development of labor services of Chinese export has made great strides, but this rapid development, there are many problems, e.g. the government not paid enough attention, Labor export personnel quality is not high, lack of output information, Output structure of a single and labor export chaos etc. To solve these problems is necessary to improve the degree of government and personal attention, strengthening the quality of foreign labor service personnel training and set up a comprehensive labor information network, providing a full range of services and strengthen the legal norms for foreign labor export. So as to enable the foreign labor exports become more conducive to the countries and peoples direction., in order to promote the development of Chinese economy.
In multinational companies to expand investment and boosted by the rapid growth of global trade in services, transnational movement of people around the world are more frequent, increasing demand for foreign labour, international labor market is steadily growing. Developed countries currently affected by slower economic growth, slower population growth and the impact of population ageing, Labour supply is gradually reduced, coupled with rising domestic labor costs, resulting in gradually increasing demand for foreign labor. As technology advances and the global industrial structure adjustment, information, biotechnology, environmental protection, telecommunication and tourism industry growing demand for international labour but International health care workers, lawyers, teachers, agricultural workers ' demand and emerging industrial countries is increasing demand for foreign workers.

With the global economic integration, continues to expand of the depth and breadth, trade in services status and proportion is rising in the international trade, labor export as an important part of trade in services, are producing more and more far-reaching impact on Chinese economic development. From a global perspective, with the population aging and the decline in the birth rate problem worse, western industrialized countries generally feel labor shortages, global demand for foreign labor is rising. 《General Agreement on Trade in Services》(GATS) reducing trade barriers, previously relatively closed labor market will gradually open,no doubt is very favorable for the of Chinese labor export development.
On the other hand, China is rich in labor resources, not only have a solid foundation for the labor export development , and also have an inherent requirement of the development of labor export. Plus China is still in the period of economic restructuring, a large number of workers being laid off, the unemployment problem is serious. Every year the international labor market to provide tens of millions of jobs becomes more attractive. Therefore, the development of labor export has a very important practical significance.

Standardized management is the foundation of foreign labor service cooperation. From our current situation, the need for external current bull policies from the management system and more doors for reform. In this regard, the Philippines should learn from the successful experience and references. The Philippine government has been committed to the promotion of national labor work overseas output, set up a special administration - Overseas Employment Agency responsible for this work. China also can create a similar governing body of the foreign labor service cooperation activities to promote the harmonization, formulate a unified policy, foreign labor service cooperation to improve the system and regulations, standardized business entities behavior.

Conclusion
Foreign labor export is accompanied by a rise of reform and opening up. After 20 years of development, Chinese foreign labor export has made gratifying achievements, become China's foreign economic cooperation and the implementation of "going out" an important part of the strategy.
Social conduct foreign labor export has become increasingly evident. According to Chinese experts predict that China's current annual remittance of expatriate labor and bring back the foreign exchange earnings of about $ 2 billion. Family economic status more than 300 million expatriate labor has been improved, and led the people around together entrepreneurial fortunes.
Carry out foreign labor export is full play to China's advantage in a wider range of effective allocation of resources an important part, to relieve pressure on domestic employment, reemployment, an effective way of transferring rural surplus labor force,also increase foreign exchange earnings, improve the quality of talent and an important factor in maintaining social stability.
However, China launched a large-scale foreign labor export is not always sustained indefinitely. Because as reduce China's natural population growth, economic development accelerated, SA8000 standard implementation, Chinese labor "unlimited supply" to end sooner or later, Some economically developed regions, there have been "labor shortage." South Korea and other countries have also experienced a shift from labor-exporting countries importing countries to labor. China currently engage in foreign labor exports and soon the main reason and purpose is to reduce pressure on domestic employment, workers who earn foreign exchange capital accumulation, learning foreign advanced experience and technology to lay the foundation for the ultimate home business.
There are a lot of labor export problems to be solved in the relevant law, management, market structure, output format, quality and other aspects of the current service personnel. In the next period of time, China's labor export not only has considerable room for development and comparative advantages, and faced with good opportunities, we have to seek a variety of ways, and actively carry out labor export, of all walks of life to create all favorable conditions should seize the opportunity to actively encourage foreign labor exports for economic growth in the country to make contributions.

Financial Strategy for Sme

...early 1980s. Huge amounts of foreign investment poured into China during this period primarily because of China's huge market, plentiful cheap labor, and rapid economic development (Davies, 1998; Luo, 1998; Shi, 1998; Sun & Tipton, 1998; Wang & Ralston, 1995). From 1980 to 1988, the number of foreign-joint ventures approved in China increased from 348 to 15,955, and the amount of foreign capital pledged increased from $1.7 million to $28.2 million (Pomfret, 1991). The foreign investment in China totaled $27.5 in 1993 and that amount rose to $37.5 billion by 1995. At present, there are over 318,000 foreign funded companies in China with the total amount of realized foreign investment from 1978 to 1998 totaling $250 billion (Shi, 1998). While the interest in investing in China is worldwide, two major investors are the U.S and Taiwan (Pomfret, 1991; Shi, 1998; Sun & Tipton, 1998; Walker, 1996; Wang & Ralston, 1995;). What is also interesting to note is that while almost all U.S. companies investing in China are large multinational corporat ions, many of the investors from Taiwan are small and medium-sized companies (Business Week , March 29, 1993; Wang and Ralston, 1995; Xu, 1996). U.S. small and medium-sized businesses seem uncertain about investing in China or, more likely, they are uncertain about how to invest in China. Is the Chinese market profitable or just a peril? This is a question that the Washington Post found on...

...own work and includes nothing, which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. Chapter 3, “Complexity, TOC and Terrorism”, was presented in an embryonic form at the ISA conference in Chicago, USA, March 2007. Chapter 4, “Organised Crime”, is the further elaboration of a chapter of the same title published in 2007 in the Oxford Handbook on the United Nations Statement of Length The dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 80,000 words Fieldwork Thailand (money laundering); Indonesia and Burma (deforestation); New York (US money supply); Washington DC and Fort Worth, Texas (Organised Crime linked to terrorist funding); Australia (Sydney, (APG) and Canberra (money laundering, South Pacific); and Rome, Italy (Chinese organised crime). Contact Frank.Madsen@cantab.net Abstract Through an analysis of the presence and nature of international monetary flows of non-declared origin and their relation to deviant knowledge, the thesis determines that both terrorism and organised crime are nurtured by a constant trickle from minor sources rather than by large financial transfers; and that anti-money laundering provisions are misapplied, taken too far, too expensive, and incapable of demonstrating their effectiveness. In lieu of more traditional policy recommendations, the thesis develops a complexity-theory based...

Contemplating Realities and Paradoxes in the Global War on Terror

...Contemplating Realities and Paradoxes in the Global War on Terror John B. Alexander, Ph.D. Introduction The approach of this monograph is to examine paradoxes encountered in the Global War on Terror (GWOT). The intent is to spark debate on disputatious issues. Clearly, many of the existing situations appear intractable given the emotional investment that has been made by the public, and exacerbated by political manipulation of elected officials. Also unavoidable are the fiscal constraints that are becoming increasingly binding. Examined in Section One are problematic premises related to the four fundamental approaches to countering terrorism; increased security, eliminating the terrorists, attacking the support infrastructure, and altering conditions that breed discontent. Despite trite, albeit politically popular, commentary proposing those methods, execution of those concepts is extremely difficult, often controversial, and sometimes counterproductive. Section Two of this monograph addresses several other policy decisions that generate problems that are difficult to resolve, but directly impact the forces involved. Among those topics are; roles of contractors, individual loyalties versus national interests, alliances of convenience, foreign response to our policy on preemption of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), the consequences of our stated objective of spreading democracy, the impact of U.S. presence in the Gulf region, and quandary associated with defining...
