Chinese housing market will shift to 2nd- and 3rd-tier cities

www.chinanews.cn 2007-04-29 09:16:32

Chinanews, Beijing, Apr. 29 �C In its recent report, global property
consulting firm Jones Lang Lasalle analyzes the prospect of the real
estate market in China's second- and third-tier cities. In this report,
titled "The 30 New Emerging Cities in China", it predicts that the 30
cities will become a new focus for investors, real estate developers and
lessees and they will indicate the developmental trend in Chinese real
estate market in future, the Beijing Business Today reported.
The five cities of Suzhou, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Dalian are
highly recommended by the report for their robust economic activities.
Although there are still plenty of opportunities in the major Chinese
cities, yet as the housing prices in these cities have continued to soar,
competition has become more intense than before and it will become more
difficult for housing developers to make profits in these cities.
Therefore many housing developers have now shifted their attention to the
emerging new markets where housing prices are still relatively cheap and
it is easier for them to make gains. The booming business, which first
originated in the major Chinese cities of Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai,
and Shenzhen, has now moved to some new economically rising cities, said
Kenny Ho, the company's general manager in Shanghai.
The housing demand in these cities has kept increasing day by day. As
market operation in these cities becomes more transparent and there is
more capital liquidity, domestic and international investors are already
paying close attention to these new markets, the report said.
Some second-tier cities, including Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Qingdao,
Shenyang, Dongguan, Xiamen, and Xi'an, have made fast progress in
developing their local companies and attracting foreign direct investment.
In addition, cities in the third tier, especially Harbin, Fuzhou, Wuxi,
Jinan, Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Changchun and Changsha, are adding input to
improve their city infrastructure to pave the way for their future
economic growth. Their efforts to boost local real estate market have
also started to take effect, according to the report.

NDRC warn against soaring housing price

www.chinanews.cn 2007-04-18 17:16:40

Chinanews, Beijing, April 18 - According to China Securities Journal,
averagely the housing prices of 70 big and medium-sized Chinese cities
leaped by 6% in the first quarter of 2007, and the figures in Shenzhen
and Beijing even exceeded 10%.
After evaluating the property market, the National Development and Reform
Commission (NDRC) of China warns against the soaring housing prices,
demanding that local governments should take immediate action to exercise
a stronger macro control over the rampaging market.
Experts suggest that the government should issue a different mortgage
rate policy, accelerate the collection of property tax and complete the
housing security system. Surplus land in the market should be handled,
too. Taking the fast economic growth and the dangerous commodity price
level into consideration, China might carry out new deflation policies.
The strong liquidity, single investment channel in the domestic market
and the appreciating RMB have attracted more and more foreign investment,
which has also helped boost the housing price.
Statistics show that the property industry has absorbed some 13.127
billion yuan of foreign investment in the last 3 months, a 154.4% growth
compared with the same period last yearl, including 10.26 billion yuan of
foreign direct investment (FDI).

Stocks surge through key barrier

www.chinanews.cn 2007-04-13 09:49:01

(Source: China Daily)

Shanghai, Apr.13 - The stock index Thursday soared through the
psychological barrier of 3500 points to close at a record 3531.03 after
nine consecutive days of gains.
The Shanghai Composite Index, the most widely-watched indicator of the
mainland stock market, rose 35.81 points, or about 1 percent. Turnover
amounted to 148.37 billion yuan ($19.1 billion), down 5 percent from the
day before.
The Component Index of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange also posted a record
high - up 211.01 points, or 2.16 percent - to close at 9964.78 points on
transaction volume at 85.96 billion yuan ($11.1 billion).
Small and medium caps showed the biggest gains, while the heavyweights
stood firm.
The transportation and real estate sectors were in the spotlight
yesterday. Guangzhou Shipyard International Co Ltd, which posted a 199
percent growth in net profit for 2006, jumped to the maximum trading
range of 10 percent to close at 30.14 yuan ($3.88). Jiangxi Zhongjiang
Real Estate Co Ltd, which posted a 1,242 percent jump in its net profit
in 2006, also soared 10 percent to close at 13.86 yuan ($1.79).
Analysts said the increase, driven by the continuous flow of investment
capital and underpinned by good corporate performance, is likely to
continue in the next few weeks.
"The speed at which investment accounts are being opened will bring lots
of funds into a market already flush with liquidity," said Zhang Yidong,
an analyst at Industrial Securities.
The number of daily new accounts surged to a historic high of 195,000 on
Tuesday, up 3.7 percent from the day before, according to statistics from
China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited.
Deng Hongguang, an analyst at Orient Securities, said high company
profits in recent years fueled the stock surge.

Anti-smoking campaign gets under way

www.chinanews.cn 2007-04-08 15:02:16

(Source: China Daily)

Beijing, April 8 - An anti-smoking campaign, "Toward a Smoke-free China,"
has been launched to get people to give up the habit which could be
harmful to health.
The campaign was launched in Beijing on Friday with a fund of US$125
million. The money was donated by the New York City Mayor Michael
Bloomberg.
The two-year campaign will be run by the Chinese Center for Disease
Control and Prevention (China CDC), Peking Union Medical College and the
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
"The joint scheme will refine and optimize tobacco control intervention
in China," said China CDC director Wang Yu, calling for special attention
to the problem of young people smoking.
Covering about 20 pilot provinces, the project aims to help combat
tobacco use in China by creating smoke-free environments and boosting
anti-smoking education.
Among China's 350 million smokers, a staggering 100 million are under the
age of 18, according to the Ministry of Health.
To redress the situation, China initiated a nationwide
tobacco-free-school campaign in 2003. Both students and teachers are
strictly prohibited from smoking, Wang said.
International experiences show that tobacco taxation is one of the most
effective ways to reduce tobacco use, said Susan V. Lawrence, head of
China programs of the Campaign for Tobacco-free Kids, a US-based youth
smoking intervention organization.
Today's children are tomorrow's future and they deserve top attention and
care under the tobacco-free scheme, Lawrence said.
A WHO survey shows that tobacco consumption by young people drops by 14
percent when cigarette prices are put up 10 percent.
Lawrence said under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, ratified
at the end of 2005, China is currently considering introducing strong
warning labels on the use of tobacco products.

Transsexual beauty surprises the public

www.chinanews.cn 2005-04-18 17:14:06

A transsexual beauty:Liu Xiaojing

Chinanews, Apr. 17 - After "his" birth, Liu Xiaojing was treated as a
girl. At the age of three, his psychology was upended in a way that often
happened to teenagers. He felt a strong conflict between his
physiological and psychological gender. With a strong belief of his
femaleness, Liu was eager to undergo a sex change operation after the age
of ten. Distressed about his inner conflict, he constantly wanted to hurt
himself.

Bank of America to be BOC shareholder

www.chinanews.cn 2005-04-06 13:28:54

Chinanews, Apr. 5 - The Beijing representative office of the Bank of
America revealed yesterday that the bank was considering investing US to
US billion in a large Chinese bank. An authority from the Bank of China
(BOC) also disclosed that it would probably cooperate with one of its
selected foreign shareholders--the Bank of America--on credit card
business. These signs indicate that the large Chinese bank in which the
Bank of America will invest is actually the BOC.
Ken Lewis, CEO of the Bank of America, made a statement in Hong Kong,
drawing great attention from the media. He said that the bank was
negotiating with a large Chinese bank about purchasing part of the
latter's shares, with an investment of US to US billion. This will be
regarded as part of further strategic cooperation between the two banks.
Lewis added that the investment would only be one part of strategic
cooperation and subsequent business cooperation would be the focus. He
expected that before China's financial industry completely opens to
foreign investors in 2006, the Bank of America, through equity
investments, can set up some enterprises that will bring profits and
meanwhile pave the way for its Chinese customers. After that, the Bank of
America will expand branches in China.
According to Lewis's statement, the Bank of America echoes Citibank and
HSBC in entering the Chinese market. Citibank teamed up with the Shanghai
Pudong Development Bank to jointly launch a co-branded credit card, and
HSBC, the largest Hong Kong-funded bank, got into the Mainland credit
card business by establishing a joint credit card company by obtaining a
19.9% share of the Bank of Communications, the 5th largest commercial
bank in China.

Transformation of the ideal Chinese woman

www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-09 15:10:01

Chinanews, Beijing, Mar. 8 (By Shen Jia) - Chinese people in their
fifties will probably never forget the idol of their youth, a burly
Tianjin girl with short hair and a dark complexion: the idol of their
youth. She is the protagonist of the lyric "Xing Yanzi, Good Example,"
written by Guo Moruo, Vice-chairman of the National People's Congress at
the time.
In the 1960s, Xing Yanzi said farewell to a comfortable urban life and
went to the countryside as a laborer. As a result of an unprecedented,
nationwide propaganda campaign, she became an overnight star in China.
In the 1970s, an age full of enthusiasm and imagination much like today,
the image of the ideal women was not simply someone who left the house to
pursue a career, but someone who actively participated in laborious and
very dangerous jobs, jobs that seemed unsuitable for women.
However, by the eighties this type of enterprising female spirit had
gradually disappeared. The Chinese Women's Volleyball Team and Zhang
Haidi, noted as one of the "World's Top Five Outstanding Disabled
Personages" by the foreign media, were the new heroines of the era.
But, what happened in the nineties was truly astonishing. The argument
over women "living off their youth" had just been resolved, and female
authors began to write openly about sex. The prevailing concept of beauty
valued slimness above all else, and many girls starved themselves and
underwent cosmetic surgeries, becoming "artificial beauties."
Over sixty years ago, Ding Lin proposed a question in her essay "Thoughts
upon Women's Day": When will the word "woman" no longer have importance
attached to it and cease to be used? In the near future, the measures of
a Chinese woman's value and charm will multiply; people will look towards
intelligence and independence as a standard of worth, rather than
external pressures and expectations.

Will China's economy catch up with America by 2046?

www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-08 13:16:15

Chinanews Mar.7 - Professor Han Kang, Vice-president of the National
School of Administration and world famous economist, indicated that
China's economy would maintain long-term growth of 7%, while
post-industrialized countries would continue long-term growth of 2.5%. He
also believes that the Chinese economy would surpass or approach that of
the United States by 2046.
Han Kang made this optimistic prediction yesterday afternoon at the "2005
China-Guangdong Bohon Fortune Forum and Conference of US Chartered Wealth
Managers TM (CWMTM)".
According to Prof. Han Kang, as China's mainstream economic growth is not
presently over-heated, there should be no problems enhancing the braking
force of China's economy, ensuring a soft landing.
He said that Premier Wen Jiabao's report on the work of the government
provides reasonable analysis and judgment of China's economy and the
effect of the Central Government's macro-control policy. Land shortages,
the overgrowth of fixed assets and inflation, problems that plagued China
last year, have been alleviated. This will provide the operation of
China's macro-economy with a relatively flexible environment to lay a
better foundation for the next phase of economic growth.

On February 21st, an investor was choosing investment and financing
products in front of an advertisement of the Dacheng selected value-added
hybrid securities-invested fund. The People's Bank of China, the China
Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory
Commission jointly issued and began to implement the Regulations on the
Launch of Fund Management Companies by Commercial Banks (trial version).
Commercial banks can directly set up fund companies. Relevant officials
from the above three departments said that the trial project involving
commercial banks establishing fund management companies had entered the
practical operational phase and concrete evaluation and approval was
underway. It is especially noteworthy that following the promotion of the
above mentioned policy, China's commercial banks are rushing into the
fund management market. Fund management companies, with commercial banks
as their big shareholders, will make their debuts, which will further
intensify competition of the industry.

China to stop clinic use of non-donated blood

www.chinanews.cn 2005-02-07 08:56:47

(Source: Xinhuanet)

BEIJING, Feb. 6 - China will eliminate the use of non-donation blood in
hospitals within three years, the Ministry of Health announced at a press
conference here Sunday.
Before 1998, most of the blood used in Chinese hospitals was bought
instead of donated. This led to rampant blood sales and ensuing
infectious diseases.
The Chinese government has encouraged volunteer blood donation since
enacting a law in 1998 designed to curb soaring blood-born infectious
diseases.

On February 1st, 2005, authoritative sources from the State Statistics
Bureau predicted that the total retail sales of consumer goods this year
would be over six trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13%. Thus
consumption would likely be an impetus of China's economic growth in
2005. Last year, China's total retail sales of consumer goods totaled
5.39501 trillion yuan, up 13.3% year-on-year. The picture shows China's
consumption market for family cars that is growing tremendously.

Party to reinforce role in SOEs reform

www.chinanews.cn 2005-01-24 09:15:32

(Source: Xinhuanet)

BEIJING, Jan. 23 - The Communist Party of China (CPC) will reinforce its
role as the leader of large state-owned companies, or state-owned
enterprises (SOEs), especially those under the control of the central
government, in order to better facilitate these companies' reform and
development while cracking down on corruption, according to a recent
document issued by the central government.
The nine-page document says party committee members should hold major
posts in large-scale companies, such as members of boards of directors or
general managers, to ensure the party's involvement in the SOEs' major
decisions.
It says a new mechanism should be set up in SOEs to choose talented
people and managerial personnel that match with the modern corporate
system, and that the SOEs should combine the party's policy on cadres
with the management's rights to employingpeople according to law.
The SOEs should set up effective supervision systems, includingeducation,
punishment and anti-corruption measures to fight against corruption,
according to the document.

Nestle inaugurated new milk product factory

By Jiang Wei (China Daily)
Updated: 2007-07-06 10:12

Swiss food and beverage giant Nestle yesterday inaugurated a new milk
product factory in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in a
move to take bigger share of the Chinese market.

With an initial investment of 130 million yuan, the Nestle Hunlunbuir
facility is the company's third dairy factory in China, following one in
Shuangcheng, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province and an operation in
Qingdao, East China's Shandong Province.

Nestle's wholly owned Hunlunbuir factory will make milk powder by
processing some 600 tons of milk a day, said Peter Brabeck, chairman
andCEOof Nestle Group Worldwide.

Nestle, which does not own farms in the Inner Mongolia, procures fresh
milk from 40,000 farmers, generating a total regular income of 3 million
yuan a day.

As a multinational company with over 140 years of experience in the dairy
business, Nestle has standardized milk collection among dairy farmers,
replacing the old-style system of collection on the street.

"The company applies better hygienic conditions and stricter quality
standards to milk collection," said He Haijun, a dairy farmer. "At the
beginning we did not understand, as this overturned our traditional ways
of diary farming that pin so much hope on the weather and climate, but we
did learn a lot in the process."

Head of Nestle's Greater China region Josef Mueller said the company
selected the location a few years ago due to the region's rich natural
grasslands. The move also draws Nestle closer to its Chinese competitors,
whose large milk producing facilities are also located in the Inner
Mongolia.

In another development, the company expects to open its second research
and development center in China next year. According to Brabeck, the new
center in Beijing will feature research, as its first in Shanghai is
focused on product development.

Chery to make Chrysler cars

By Gong Zhengzheng (China Daily)
Updated: 2007-07-04 14:27

cooperative agreement in Beijing July 4, 2007. [Reuters]

Independent Chinese carmaker Chery Automobile Co clinched a landmark deal
in Beijing with US-based Chrysler Group yesterday to make small cars for
the North American and European markets.

The first model in the partnership will be a Dodge based on Chery's
1.3-liter A1 hatchback, said top executives of the two sides.

The car, to be assembled at Chery's home base in eastern city of Wuhu,
will be first shipped to Mexico before January, Chery sources said.

However, no timetable has been revealed for the launch of Chery-made
Chrysler cars in the US and Europe, where other Chinese carmakers have
faced quality problems recently.

Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda said he has "no concerns" about Chery-made
vehicles and both companies would develop new globally competitive
products based on future Chery small-car platforms.

The tie-up with Chery will have a "nearly immediate effect" on Chrysler's
offerings in the small-car segment, LaSorda said.

"This strategic partnership is part of a new business model that allows
us to introduce new products more quickly, with less capital spending,"
he said.

Yale Zhang, director of Greater China vehicle forecasts for consultancy
CSM Worldwide (Shanghai) Ltd, said Chrysler will be able to take
advantage of Chery's low costs in China.

"It could be unprofitable for Chrysler to develop small cars on its own,"
Zhang said.

For Chery, which is growing sales at home and abroad aggressively, the
collaboration will help it improve quality and design to pave the way for
its own brand's forays into the US and European markets, he said.

The company said earlier that it aimed to boost sales to 400,000 cars
this year from 305,000 units in 2006. It expects to double exports to
100,000 units.

Chrysler, which is being sold to Cerberus Capital Management by
DaimlerChrysler in a $7.4-billion deal expected to close as early as this
month, now produces the 300C large sedan in a plant in Beijing.

It plans to bring a Sebring mid-sized sedan into the Beijing plant and a
Dodge Caravan minivan into another factory in the eastern city of Fuzhou
later this year to further explore the Chinese vehicle market, the
world's No 2 after the US.

Sales of China-made vehicles totaled 3.65 million units in the first five
months of this year, up 22 percent from a year ago, according to industry
data.

Goodman set to pour $2-3b to China market

By Zheng Lifei (China Daily)
Updated: 2007-07-03 09:41

Goodman, the world's second-largest industrial property developer, is
planning to pour $2 to $3 billion in the next three to five years in
China, increasing its current investment almost tenfold.

Goodman, which entered China two years ago, has so far developed and owns
$200 million of industrial properties in the country, concentrated in
Shanghai.

Formerly known as Macquarie Goodman, Australia's biggest listed
industrial property firm will "have $2 to $3 billion of industrial
properties (in China) under its management three to five years from now",
said David van Aanholt,CEOof Goodman Asia-Pacific.

China currently accounts for less than 0.25 percent of Goodman's annual
investment globally, which Aanholt said, indicated "there is lots of room
to grow in the country".

Goodman, whose major rivals include US-based ProLogis, would mainly set
its sights on China's top cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou
for expansion.

"In the medium term, we would probably move to second-tier cities," the
CEO said.

Goodman mainly develops and manages warehousing, distribution facilities,
non-CBD offices and back-office spaces. In China, it will primarily focus
on warehouses and distribution facilities, Aanholt said.

The demand for warehousing and distribution facilities will surge in the
coming years in China, which Aanholt said is increasingly becoming the
world's manufacturing hub.

"The goods manufactured must go through warehousing and distribution
facilities to reach customers. The pie is becoming bigger and we want to
have more of it," Aanholt said, referring to China's booming logistics
market.

China's logistics market, which includes freight, warehousing and
distribution facilities, is expected to grow by almost 30 percent a year
in the next three to four years, according to Trent Iliffe, director of
global real estate money management and services firm Jones Lang
LaSalle's Industrial Property team in China.

In addition to the $200 million properties it already owns in China,
Goodman will soon double its portfolio in the next six to 12 months, when
it is expected to complete transactions to acquire or develop another
$200 million worth of projects, Aanholt said.

Goodman acquired a 48,000 square meter warehouse in Fengxian district in
Shanghai for $15.5 million in March.
