At the EU-China 6th Business Summit, Wen Jiabao, Chinese Prime Minister asked EU to stop pressuring China to appreciate its currency exchange rate. Wen Jiabao underlined that depreciation of yuan could create social tensions in China which could be a disaster for the world. Yesterday, Eurozone leaders, who met Wen Jiabao, said they were disappointed with the lack of movement the Chinese yuan has shown since Beijing announced plans to let the currency move more flexibly. China has long faced pressure from Europe and the United States to revalue the yuan, which Western states say is being kept artificially low to boost exports. In June, Beijing said that it was willing to let the currency move more fluidly. EU-China leaders were gathered at the Business Summit to discuss innovation and creativity as tools to overcome the current crisis and lay the foundations for steady growth. Source EbS

www.euronews.com This Thursday, European and Chinese leaders will gather in Brussels for the 15th EU-China summit. Traditionally, trade, the economy and the environment have topped the agenda and this time looks set to be no different. A spat over cheap Chinese solar panels is one issue expected to dominate discussions. In addition, EU leaders are also expected to use the summit to push Beijing to change its stance on Syria. Despite such differences, relations between the two powers are increasingly close. Speaking from China town in the Belgian city of Antwerp euronews' Isabel Silva said: ''One of the clearest signs of deepening ties between Europe and China is the flow of students in both directions. In Belgium alone, there are 2300 Chinese students. Many young Europeans also want to work in China.'' While it is unclear whether Europe's economic crisis is encouraging EU citizens to learn Chinese, it seems a growing number of Europeans want to pick up the language. In September, Antwerp's Management School launched its own masters degree in 'China-Europe Business Studies.'' In all, 16 students signed up. The course is divided between study time in Belgium and China so students are able to put theory into practice. But as some of them warn, big cultural differences, especially in the way business is done, remain. "Before I came here, I worked as a Chinese teacher for two years and I have seen that people had lot of misunderstandings because of different cultural <b>...</b>

Fresh protests continue In Pakistan; over an alleged anti-Islam film.Reports in confirm; clashes between police and protesters in the cities of Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi. This footage from the Pakistani capital shows thousands of students in Islamabad protesting as they tried to enter the US embassy. Hundreds of heavily armed policemen tried to disperse the protesting crowds with tear gas and the students retaliated by pelting stones at the police, smashing police vehicles and torching police check posts. However as the violence spreads in the Muslim world, the US in a surprise move, has paid for the following adverts to be shown on Pakistani TV that show President Barack Obama and Secretary of state condemning the film. Today the Pakastani government has sanctioned a 'Day of Love'protest march, to celebrate the Prophet Mohammed. Is expected to see tensions raise even further, as all major political parties, religious organisations along with trade and transport groups are expected to take part. These huge numbers will put a great strain on the Pakistani authorities, with fears they will be overpowered. They have urged people to demonstrate peacefully, and as a precautionary measure mobile phone services will be cut, across the country to reduce security risks. Written and presented by Ann Salter
