Welcome to our July 2009 newsletter.
China Aims to Lead in
Renewable Energy |
|
 |
Over the next few months don't be surprised to hear a lot
about China
as the planet's first green superpower. The State Council of China's cabinet
will soon release the details of a staggeringly large
|
|
"new energy" programme
that could make China
a global leader in renewable energy and low - carbon technology.China, a country that already makes most of the world's
solar panels and wind turbines will invest, as reports in the domestic media
and from foreign diplomats suggest, between 1.4 trillion (US$200 bn) and 4.5
trillion yuan (US$600bn) over the next ten years in nuclear power plant, solar
and wind farms, hydroelectric dams, "green transport", "clean coal" and super
efficient electric grids.

Exports
Get Help to Fight Crisis |
|
The Chinese
government raised export tax rebates on more than 600 export
products, to shore up exports amid global economic downturn.
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced Monday informing
that as of June 1, export tax rebates on products such as
machines, shoes, hats and toys will be increased by amounts
ranging from 5 to 17 percent.
The government raised tax rebates for the seventh time since
last August. |

West to China which are growing, particularly design, IT,
architectural and financial services, high fashion clothing
and cosmetics. If you can't find a supplier, or a costumer,
we or our partners will be able to help. Let ChinaOneCall
help you prosper.

China
Terracotta Digs Begin |
|
 |
The
third phase of excavation began on Saturday
(20th June) in the largest of three pits containing
the terracotta army in Xi'an, northwest China.
Archaeologists are hoping to find more clay figures
and unravel some of the mysteries left behind by the
"First Emperor". |
|
Liu
Zhancheng, an archaeologist, said that his team
hoped to find a clay figure that appeared to be "in
command" of the huge underground army.
After a gap of two decades, digging was permitted to
restart by officials thanks to technological
advances that ensure the still - buried warriors
keep their original colours once they are exposed to
the air. To read more about Terracotta Army click

Cross-straits Relations Grow Stronger |
|
Last
month 80 business representatives from the Chinese
mainland visited Taiwan with bulging wallets and a
long shopping list. But the importance of their
four-day trip went far beyond the $2.2 billion worth
of orders.
The
group, organized by The |
 |
|
Mainland
Association for Cross - Straits Economic and Trade Exchanges was
representing 35 companies, including IT and home
appliances giants Lenovo, Haier, Chanhong, ZTE and
made a step forward towards expanding trade between
the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.
Product orders from that trip worth $827 million
would be filled by July, and goods worth of $1.4
billion would be delivered by the end of this year,
the head of the delegation, Li Shuilin announced.

Remember Mandarin also is the main dialect of
Taiwan. So we can help with trade with and travel
within Taiwan. In Taiwan (and Hong Kong , Macau and
other areas) traditional characters are used whereas
in mainland China and also in Singapore the
simplified version is common. ChinaOneCall can
translate to or from either writing system.

One Call saved a young girl's life!

My family and I had been enjoying a
special holiday in China. Suddenly in
the middle of the night I had an
unexpected allergic reaction which
turned into a serious asthma attack.
|
|
As we were staying in the small boutique
hotel, my father was unable to
communicate with the hotel staff. They
only spoke Chinese. Eventually he
remembered about ChinaOneCall and with
one call they interpreted the situation
over the phone to members of the hotel
staff. Within minutes the ambulance
arrived and I was safe.
After everything my father said: "I
can't thank ChinaOneCall enough. It's
very difficult explaining an allergy in
English, let alone in another foreign
language. The professionalism of the
interpreters was excellent. They called
an ambulance, a taxi and transferred all
my family to another hotel. A refund on
the existing booking was also arranged.
Amazing!"
