Fed approves Chinese bank purchase of US bank
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Reserve has for the first time given approval for a large Chinese bank to purchase a U.S. bank. It also gave approval to two other large Chinese banks to expand their operations in the United States.
The Fed board announced Wednesday it was approving the application of the Industrial and Commerce Bank of China Limited, China's largest bank, and two other Chinese firms to purchase The Bank of East Asia U.S.A., located in New York City.
The Fed also approved an application by the Bank of China to set up a branch in Chicago and an application by the Agricultural Bank of China Limited to establish a branch in New York City.
All three applications were approved after high-level talks last week between the United States and China.
In those talks, which were overshadowed by a dispute involving a Chinese dissident, China agreed to let foreigners including U.S. companies have bigger stakes in its securities firms and make other concessions designed to give foreign firms greater access to the U.S. market.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton headed up the U.S. side for the annual discussions, said at the conclusion of the talks Friday that China had made "important steps" that would translate "into greater opportunities for U.S. workers and companies."
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke also participated in last week's discussions in Beijing. The approval by the Fed board, which oversees U.S. bank holding companies, came on unanimous votes. The Chinese applications had been pending for as long as nearly two years.
The Fed said it would have no comment when asked whether the board actions were linked in any way to progress that had been made at last week's talks.
The Industrial and Commerce Bank, China's largest bank with total assets of approximately $2.5 trillion, is 70.7 percent owned by the government of China. The government of China holds similarly large stakes in the other two banks.
The Fed gave the Industrial and Commerce Bank and its two partners approval to acquire up to 80 percent of The Bank of East Asia U.S.A. This bank has 13 branches in New York and California and deposits of approximately $621 million.

Ron Paul: My Friend is Being Targeted
Having stood up for constitutional principles for over 30 years, I know what it’s like to be in the establishment’s crosshairs.
Now, my good friend, State Senator Lee Bright from South Carolina, has the establishment gunning for him, as well.
That’s why - with the June 12 Republican Primary rapidly approaching - I’m writing to endorse his re-election and to urge you to contribute as generously as you possibly can to Lee Bright right away.
You may remember that back in January, Senator Bright was one of four State Senators in South Carolina who endorsed my campaign for President.
I’m sure that move got underneath some of the establishment’s skin.
But the truth is, the real reason they’re coming after him on June 12 is because Senator Bright has an unmatched record of standing up for individual liberty and free markets.
Since his election to the State Senate in 2008, Lee Bright has been the leading voice for individual liberty, lower taxes, decreased state spending, and a smaller, less intrusive government in South Carolina.
Senator Bright is a proud member of the William Wallace Caucus, which is dedicated to voting against government intrusion, wasteful spending, and unnecessary regulations.
And Senator Bright also understands the consequences of the Federal Reserve printing money out of thin air.
In fact, he is the lead sponsor of the South Carolina Sound Money Bill, which is designed to protect South Carolinians from the out-of-control inflationary policies being pursued by the Federal Reserve.
Senator Bright is also leading the fight to restore the Second Amendment freedoms of all South Carolinians by sponsoring Constitutional Carry.
If passed, this legislation would allow law-abiding gun owners in South Carolina to carry a firearm without having to pay expensive fees or go through a bunch of bureaucratic rigmarole.
Senator Lee Bright also sponsored a State Sovereignty Bill designed to force the federal government to stay within its proper limits under the 10th Amendment.
Senator Bright is someone the Liberty Movement needs to stand behind by helping make sure he gets re-elected to serve four more years in the South Carolina Senate.
The establishment is coming after Senator Bright with guns blazing.
So he needs your help to WIN this fight.
And with the South Carolina June 12 Republican Primary rapidly approaching, he needs that help right away.
So please, join me in supporting Senator Lee Bright by making the most generous contribution you possibly can afford to his campaign.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. I’m writing to proudly endorse Senator Lee Bright’s re-election campaign – and to ask for your help.
You see, Senator Bright has a tough Primary coming up in June, and he is really counting on the support of liberty-minded folks like you.
So can I depend on you to make the most generous contribution you possibly can afford to Senator Bright’s re-election campaign?

Federal Inmate Keith Judd Receiving Sizable Percent of Vote in West Virginia Democratic Primary
By Elizabeth Hartfield
Barack Obama was not the only Democrat on the ballot on Tuesday in West Virginia’s Democratic Presidential Primary. Keith Judd — also known as Inmate No. 11593-051 at the Federal Correctional Institution in Texarkana, Texas — was running against him.
Judd, who is serving out a 17.5 year sentence for extortion, currently has received 40 percent of the vote, with 83 percent of precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press. Obama currently has received 60 percent of the vote.
Obama’s lack of popularity in West Virginia has been well-documented. The state’s governor Earl Ray Tomblin and it’s junior senator Joe Manchin, both Democrats, have kept their distance from the president.
A further potential embarrassment for the Democrats, as The Charleston Gazette reports, Judd only needs 15 percent of the vote — which, indeed, it looks like he has accomplished — in order to be entitled to have at least one delegate represent him at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. this summer.
Judd would not be the first Democratic challenger to Obama to qualify for delegate representation at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. In Oklahoma’s Democratic primary in March, Randall Terry, a Democratic candidate who founded the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue and has more than 50 arrests under his belt, received 18 percent of the vote in the primary, giving him one delegate.
It is unknown what type of affect Judd’s status as a federal prisoner might have on the delegate allocation and selection to the convention.
