Will China Launch QE?
MARC CHANDLER04/29/2015
Press reports suggest that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is considering unconventional monetary policies, including direct purchases of local government bonds and/or some sort of long-term refinancing operation (LTRO) using local government bonds as collateral. While there is no universal definition of QE, we make the distinction that the former (direct bond purchases) are unconventional measures, while the latter (long-term liquidity injections) are along conventional lines.
For reasons stated below, we downplay the likelihood of QE in China given the typical reasoning seen in the developed markets.

We do note, however, that China officials have so far denied these reports.

China under pressure as money floods out of the country
By Sophia Yan February 27, 2015: 5:20 AM ET
http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/27/news/economy/china-yuan-capital-outflow/
For years, China has kept its currency from strengthening too much against the dollar. Now, it might need to arrest a slide in the value of the yuan to prevent strain in the country's financial system.
A sharp depreciation could send more money fleeing the country, affecting domestic property and debt markets. It could also make it harder for Chinese businesses to repay U.S. dollar debt.

Today in 2015, the end of QE, a strengthening dollar and an anticipated rise in US interest rates could wreak havoc in developing economies
Since 2009, trillions of dollars hot off the printing press or borrowed at near zero rates have been flooding into the global South and East. But today’s monetary tightening is already leading to an exodus of hot money that is destabilizing these countries, with the effect of keeping the United States’ rivals in the “emerging” world down.

FOMC Release, Date: April 29, 2015
http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20150429a.htm
For immediate release
Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in March suggests that economic growth slowed during the winter months, in part reflecting transitory factors. The pace of job gains moderated, and the unemployment rate remained steady. A range of labor market indicators suggests that underutilization of labor resources was little changed. Growth in household spending declined; households' real incomes rose strongly, partly reflecting earlier declines in energy prices, and consumer sentiment remains high. Business fixed investment softened, the recovery in the housing sector remained slow, and exports declined. Inflation continued to run below the Committee's longer-run objective, partly reflecting earlier declines in energy prices and decreasing prices of non-energy imports. Market-based measures of inflation compensation remain low; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.
Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. Although growth in output and employment slowed during the first quarter, the Committee continues to expect that, with appropriate policy accommodation, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace, with labor market indicators continuing to move toward levels the Committee judges consistent with its dual mandate. The Committee continues to see the risks to the outlook for economic activity and the labor market as nearly balanced. Inflation is anticipated to remain near its recent low level in the near term, but the Committee expects inflation to rise gradually toward 2 percent over the medium term as the labor market improves further and the transitory effects of declines in energy and import prices dissipate. The Committee continues to monitor inflation developments closely.
To support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability, the Committee today reaffirmed its view that the current 0 to 1/4 percent target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate. In determining how long to maintain this target range, the Committee will assess progress--both realized and expected--toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments. The Committee anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2 percent objective over the medium term.
The Committee is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. This policy, by keeping the Committee's holdings of longer-term securities at sizable levels, should help maintain accommodative financial conditions.
When the Committee decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals of maximum employment and inflation of 2 percent. The Committee currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run.
Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Janet L. Yellen, Chair; William C. Dudley, Vice Chairman; Lael Brainard; Charles L. Evans; Stanley Fischer; Jeffrey M. Lacker; Dennis P. Lockhart; Jerome H. Powell; Daniel K. Tarullo; and John C. Williams.

we are seeing technical deterioration in those time frames as well as in the short term. We think there is likely to be a sharp correction soon. As for a downside target, it is typical for a parabolic advance to collapse into the basing pattern that preceded it, in this case a range of 20 to 23.

Chang'e 5-T1 is an experimental unmanned lunar mission that was launched on 23 October 2014 by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) to conduct atmospheric re-entry tests on the capsule design planned to be used in the future Chang'e 5 missions.
During this mission, Chang'e 5-T1 achieved a few technical break through that has not been previously made by any nations.
Mission (1)(2)
The test mission launched on Oct. 23 from the Xichang space center in southwestern China, traveled 840,000 kilometers around the far side of the moon, and deployed a compact landing capsule for a high-speed re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.

(1) lunar flyby - Lunar Orbit Rendezvous
- Service Module entered lunar orbit by January 13th, 2015 with period of 8 hours.
After dropping off the Return Vehicle , the Service Module entered a highly elliptical orbit from where it maneuvered to a Lissajous orbit around the Earth-Moon Lagrange Point 2 to eventually reach a lunar orbit by mid January. This complex maneuver can save energy so that the whole system weight can be reduced.
Lissajous orbit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_orbit
named after Jules Antoine Lissajous, is a quasi-periodic orbital trajectory that an object can follow around a Lagrangian point of a three-body system without requiring any propulsion.
Lagrange Points: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point#L2
the Lagrangian points are positions in an orbital configuration of two large bodies where a small object affected only by gravity can maintain a stable position relative to the two large bodies.

http://www.spaceflight101.com/uploads/6/4/0/6/6406961/7619760_orig.jpg
Plain English description
Traveling at approximately 25,000 mph, the entry vehicle lowered into the atmosphere twice, bouncing back into space and skipping like a rock across water before parachuting to a touchdown in China’s Inner Mongolia. Such skip re-entry maneuvers can diminish the speed and reduce the heat encountered by a spacecraft streaking back to Earth.
the skip re-entry technique that was used with mixed success by the Russian Zond missions in the 60s & 70s and was also conceptualized for the Apollo missions that ended up using a modified entry scheme.

BYD has had some success in getting small numbers of its e-buses into municipal fleets for demonstration and testing. Five of them will start operating in the Los Angeles municipal fleet this year. BYD buses are also trolling the roads in Mexico, Chile, Edmonton, and Sydney, among other locations. And in January in New Orleans at a trade show, BYD unveiled a long-distance electric bus that could go a claimed 190 miles on a single charge.
