it appears on the front page of the main newspaper. it is the main way of official from the party communicating. >> do we have any idea who is speaking here? >> we don't know exactly. we can assume that because the front page is normally served for ping and recapping his daily activities, that it is mething or someone closely related to ping or the president himself. it could be some member of the administration. people's daily offered a hint saying that the authoritative erson can be seen as representing the views of the top leadership. rishaad: the question remains

here. why are authorities in beijing communicating in this round-about way? >> well, as you know, the opaque policy-making of china has been one of the big criticisms by global investors, that they are not able to know who is making decisions, where it is coming from and be able to see a clear line of consistency going forward. that has to do partly with the communist party's one party rule. it's unwillingness to accept that there are maybe factions or disagreements in the peter. so in this case it may serve their interests to have someone be out anonymously, to not seen as overshadowing one official or any one point of view. it is a way for them to speak as party leadership and not as differs partisans within the government. >> thank you. rishaad: let's move quickly to

some of the stories we are following. inspection at home. a person familiar saying china's insurance regulator is sembling a team to look into anbang's business and investing in unlisted companies. they say they will limit the sponsored posts following the death of a student. he died a rare form of cancer last monday. he sought controversial treatment on the base of controversial search results. they established a fund to compensate users. apple, google, samsung and blackberry, they want to know when they send updates. they are concerned about delays

it is all having an impact. nobody thought it was sustainable, and it is proving to be the case. iron o everyone research off 5.7% overnight, still up for the year, but all signs point to it heading further south. the impact on mining stocks has been predictable. their only product is iron ore. right now they are off 5%. but bhp is not faring much better, it is off 5%, and rio off 4.7%. for the government, evans are i decline in the price of iron e is a decrease of $50 million. rishaad: thank you for that. that is paul allen for us in sydney. ahead we are going to be speaking to the philippines former socioeconomicic planner.

let's throw this forth. you are basically looking at turnout evaluations. the philippines against the broader southeastern asian benchmark in the emerging markets. this is mxfo, and mxef. let's get a close up on this side. these are fairly small numbers. satisfies to say the philippines are quite expensive relative to peers and historical trends. that is a five-year look. it is way above its three-year average for a lot of reasons. what morgan stanley actually said is last week they told heir clients sell azian. earnings growth may be at risk. at these current evaluations given the uncertainty, risk-reward may not be there to bid this market back up. let me throw this forth a

little bit more, and this comes down to how the next government handles the budget. it is not sexy, but it is essential. this part that you see right here is a shrinking budget receive sit from about 4% of g.d.p. to 1.5 to 2%. this is also a growing economy. in other words, this outgoing government has kept finances under control. they have been prudent. they have been criticized for underspending, but it has worked in this sense, and now the country has investment grade rating. rishaad: staying with the philippines, one of the challenges faced by the next president, we will talk about that. what is the general feeling? well, fill pinos have spoken. they have voted for a change, despite an economy that has been growing at 6:00% over the

hopefully the floods will be more controlable, and maybe the trains running fast. >> how about job creation? president aquino said he created four million to six million jobs during his administration. do you see that happening? unemployment is still very high and 10 million fill pinos still live and work overseas. >> yes. our unemployment rate is still ery high, especially the under employment rate is very high. and the poverty levels are still very high. we forgot about agriculture. it has been growing at 1% for the past six years. hat is is a problem as well as a concern. 70% of our poor living in the agriculture area. >> what can be done to help farmers and agricultural

development. >> one is farm to market roads, giving better access for farmers to their markets. use 30% to 40% of farmers the transit for their produce. they need to diversify their incomes, grow better crops, improving disease. if a farmer is growing rice, milking an grow some cattle. >> is the economy diversified enough? there seems to be an overreliance on remittances. many tack doris need to be looked at as well. >> it means manufacturing. manufacturing would provide more jobs and better quality jobs, and it will also diversify the source of of our inco.

what is also significant about it is the fact that we have sornte g un trying to himself with his grandfather rather than his father. but in his speech that went for three hours, he did have ill nces to the kim jung era, which was described as a grim time. he wants to hearken pack to the time of his grandfather, jim ill judge, which was a better time. north korea was doing better economically than south korea at one time, which is not the story now. rishaad: he looks like his grandfather. >> yes. an nder if he will make appearance at the military parade later today. i was tiago to go an academic

yesterday who say he sometimes gets to speak to the people who de-brief the defectors coming to north korea out of south korea. they have a pretty good emotional response to the grandfather, but not so much the father. it really goes back to ok, we want to associate ourselves with that. but also, the dual track olicy, which kim jung-un has described. they are going to continue to progress on the nuclear side. rishaad: they go hand in hand. he got this new title. >> yes. it is chairman of the workers' party. that is something shared with his father and grandfather and absolutely puts him in the center of power that has been cons tated here. another thing to make note of, it is going to be very difficult for him to do that economic development along with nuclear development at the same time. noish we will -- rishaad: we will see if he
