Taiwan premier restates president Chen's 'proactive management' of China ties. President Chen Shui-bian's recent pronouncement of a tenet of 'proactive management, effective liberalization' for policy governing economic links across the Taiwan Strait is intended for his government to actively perform its role as a 'risk manager,' Premier Su Tseng-chang said. Su, in his first administrative report to the Legislative Yuan, or parliament, restated Chen's tenet mentioned in his New year speech to clarify that the president was telling his administration that it must make sure the island's economic links to the mainland conform to its own overall economic development. The government must take action if there is an inconsistency between benefits for specific individual businesses and those of the economy as a whole, Su said. He added that although Taiwan has a need to expand its economic presence across the globe, the roots must be kept on the island. 'We cannot allow ourselves to concentrate on only one country, be it the US, Japan, or China,' the premier who took office in late January said. http://www.forbes.com/finance/feeds/afx/2006/02/20

American Express "has suspended its new card approval to reflect the market situation, and it's reviewing its approval criteria," said Tiffany Chen, spokesman of American Express International.
Bank officials said to gain market share they made new loans too loosely in the previous two years, which took a toll on loan quality.
American Express's credit-card business will be back to normal as soon as "the market situation improves and we are done with our internal review," said Chen. She declined to give a timeframe.
American Express had 259,840 cards in circulation as of the end of December, giving it a market share of just 0.6 percent in terms of clients, according to Financial Supervisory Commission statistics.
But the average spending per month of American Express' card holders is two to 2.5 times the market average, said Chen.
