China to legislate for oil reserve

www.chinanews.cn 2006-03-03 15:03:04

Chinanews, Mar.3 - According to Shanghai Securities News, a related
Chinese scholar revealed recently that China has put "Administrative
Regulations on National Oil Reserve" into the list of State Council's
legislative plan and expects to publish the Regulations soon.
Hou Zixin, president of China's Nankai University, said that the proposal
on oil reserves has been submitted to related departments. At present,
"Administrative Regulations on National Oil Reserve" has been included in
State Council's legislative plan and is expected to be published soon.
Strategic oil reserve system construction is a crucial step as well as
the largest and most complicated project to ensure China's energy safety.
Five years ago, related departments have explicitly set the goal of
accelerating construction of the national oil reserve system (including
strategy and civil use) and boosting China's oil reserve capacity to
eight million cubic meters by 2005. However, China has just commenced
construction of the first phase project of oil reserve bases and its
strategic oil reserve volume is still zero.
China's National Development and Reform Commission has currently set up a
National Oil Reserve Office to take charge of establishment of national
strategic oil reserve bases. The first 4 national strategic oil reserve
bases are located in Zhenhai of Zhejiang Province's Ningbo City, Daishan
of Zhejiang Province's Shoushan City, Huangdao of Shandong Province's
Qingdao City and Dalian of Liaoning Province. China entrusted three
domestic oil giants, namely China National Petroleum Corporation, Sinopec
and China National Offshore Oil Corp., to take charge of the overall
construction of these projects, which are expected to be basically
completed in 2006 to 2008.

Shanghai single ladies crazy about Valentine's Day

www.chinanews.cn 2006-02-16 16:49:11

Chinanews, Shanghai, Feb. 13 (By Chen Jing, Yuan Fang) - Worried about
having a lonely Valentine's Day, Miss M, a young woman who works at the
administrative division of a company located in Shanghai's Puxi Area,
hastened to post an advertisement on a dating website to find a
boyfriend. Her advertisement was quite simple and did not include
detailed requirements. All details would be talked about in QQ (the most
popular instant communication tool in China). Soon after the
advertisement was posted, Miss M was busy talking with more than 30 men
who wanted to befriend her. Although Miss M had not decided who she would
be with on a romantic Valentine's Day, she believed that internet
matchmaking would bring her Mr. Right.
Miss M is not alone. At present, nearly 300 single women like Miss M have
posted advertisements on the internet to find a lover for this
Valentine's Day. These ads generated active responses and provoked
numerous replies, the editor of the dating site cried "ladies are also
crazy about Valentine's Day!"
Although the media have reported that males go online to hire temporary
girlfriends for Valentine's Day and even make a detailed contract for
that purpose, it is more eye-catching for a female to join this campaign
and post an ad to find a boyfriend.
Why have these women, who appear to others as introverted and reserved
and hesitant to express their feelings, have become so crazy about
Valentine's Day?
Population census statistics show that single males and females in
Beijing and Shanghai have exceeded one million. There are more males than
females in the total population but the number of single women is not
small. Compared with males, marriage is more important than career for
females in the eyes of society. "Three high" (high educational level,
high-ranking positions and high income) single females have particularly
drawn wide attention.
The above-mentioned females who posted ads on the internet to find
boyfriends to spend Valentine's Day are mainly white collars aged between
20 and 30.
Owing to their jobs, they are confined to their offices and have few
chances to meet people of the opposite sex. As a result, their social
circles are small. Moreover, these females are well educated and have
known some successful persons through their work, and they themselves
have certain accomplishments. Their own high qualifications and their
worldly requirements of a spouse narrow their potential choices to a
small minority of males.
On the other hand, as "Economics of Everyday Life" overflows, people have
started to consciously think about the economics of love. There is little
space for people to choose from a limited number of potential lovers. In
particular, dating, watching movies and shopping cost a lot of energy and
money, but the results were often disappointing. In pursuit of their own
careers and independence, females, who hold up half the sky, naturally
choose to spend their time and vigor on work with higher yields and lower
risks.
Characteristic feminine restraint and shyness are also a reason that
cannot be neglected. But these characteristics are not confined only to
Chinese people and females. Harlequin love report 2006 that was released
by Canadian media before this Valentine's Day shows that Canadians are
overly shy in love and not brave enough to express their love to persons
they admire. As a result, nearly three fourths of single Canadians lack
courage to voice their love.
The three barriers that prevent females from finding their Mr. Rights,
namely small social circle, overly high cost and shyness, do not exist in
online matchmaking. Owing to abundant information and confidentiality,
online matchmaking has become popular with people with high educational
level. A survey indicates that couples who tie the knot via the internet
are on the rise year by year. Online matchmaking will probably become the
most popular way in the future.
When such a nice matchmaker is available, one can see why single women go
crazy right before Valentine's Day?

Folk stunt of tree crown-like iron sparks

www.chinanews.cn 2006-02-15 16:06:31

Producing tree crown-like iron sparks is a unique stunt with a history of
several centuries performed during the folk sacrificial ceremony to
celebrate the Lantern Festival in Nuanquan Town, Wei County, Hebei
Province. The performer will first melt raw iron into molten iron and
keep the temperature, then scoop molten iron with a willow ladle which
has been steeped in cold water and splash it on the wall to create tree
crown-shaped iron sparks, after which this stunt was named.

surprisingly, if the top of the eggs is broken, plants will grow up from
the cleft in some time.

75 Shanghai couples divorce per day in average

www.chinanews.cn 2005-08-26 14:58:33

Chinanews, Aug. 25 - According to reports of Shanghai's media, a survey
of the city's 19 district marriage registration bureaus revealed that
last year, 27,374 couples registered for divorces, averaging 75 couples
per day, up 38.9% over the previous year. What concerns people most is
that amongst the divorcing couples, 7.2% are married for less than one
year.
Many factors caused the rise in divorce rates. But, in the eyes of many
couples, divorce seems to be not a tragedy but the path to seek the next
round of happiness. Marriage experts generally feel that in treating the
problem of divorce, young couples are not that bound by traditional
concepts. They rarely treat divorce as a sad or embarrassing matter.
Instead, they view it as the beginning of a new life.
Divorce statistics reveal that amongst the divorced couples last year,
56.1% attribute the main reason of their separation to personality
incompatibility, meaning that 15,365 couples parted ways because they had
personality conflict. Another 9,234 couples put the reasons of splitting
up as breakdown of mutual feelings.
More and more new reasons now surface as causes for marital breakups. It
was learned that beside personality incompatibility and breakdown of
mutual feelings, 567 couples cited economic reasons, 82 couples mentioned
inability to tolerate bad habits. What is most striking is that more and
more couples are willing to face the problem of extra-marital affairs,
with 1,079 couples frankly admitting to infidelity as the cause for
breaking up.

1st private firm to build cross-border railway

www.chinanews.cn 2005-08-26 14:05:03

Chinanews, Aug.25 - Yesterday, China's Ministry of Commerce released a
few cooperation agreements signed by China and Russia, including the
project of China's first cross-border railway jointly invested by a
privately-owned Chinese enterprise and a Russian consortium. It was
learned that both investors of this cross-border railway are
privately-owned enterprises. Investor of the Chinese party is
Dalian-based Xinrong Investment Co., Ltd. while the Russian partner is
Evrazholding.
According to plan, the railway will link Hulin in China's Heilongjiang
Province and Lesozavodsk in far eastern Russia. The Russian partner will
be in charge of a 21.5-km section of the railway from Lesozavodsk to its
border while the Chinese company will build a 36-km section from Hulin to
the Sino-Russian border. Both parties will jointly invest to build a
bridge spanning the 40-meter-wide Song'acha River to connect the railway
together. Based on the project budget, the Russian partner will provide
some US$30 million in total while the Chinese company will invest 230
million yuan (US$27.81 million) in the railway project.
Dalian-based Xinrong Investment Co., Ltd., the Chinese investor of the
project, raised its fund for the project by way of self investment and
financing. Wang Weixin, president of the company, indicated that this
cross-border railway project to be built at Sino-Russian border requires
final approval from governments of both countries, but he declined to
disclose the progress of project at present.
Upon completion of the project, the trunk line of Far East Railway will
extend 353km southwards so as to get through another land-sea passage for
Heilongjiang and develop trade and economic exchanges among China and
Japan, S. Korea and N. Korea.

Individualistic credit cards popular in Shanghai

www.chinanews.cn 2005-08-24 14:40:13

Chinanews, Aug. 24 - In a vibrant shopping mall, a young trendy woman
opened her purse and took out a fragrant credit card to pay her bill.
This is a scene that will soon be seen everywhere in Shanghai. Banks in
Shanghai have introduced or will introduce various individualistic credit
cards such as fragrant ones and transparent zodiac ones, in order to
satisfy young people who pursue individuality and novelty.
Cheng Hao, general manager of the credit card center of the China
Minsheng Banking Corp., revealed that since the bank introduced
transparent mini zodiac credit cars at the end of July, it has issued
1,900 such cards in about three weeks and is receiving nearly 100
applications for such cards every day. Most of those applicants are young
white-collars and students.
It is learned from the credit card center of the China Merchants Bank
(CMB) that in early Sept., the bank and female fashion group Rayli will
jointly issue the first fragrant co-branded credit card targeting trendy
females. With the help of Rayli's membership network, the card is
tailor-made for females who are perspicacious in fashion and have
consumption power. The first issue will dispatch 100,000 cards.
In the past, banks only paid attention to functions of credit cards and
there was not much difference in appearance among those cards. With
increasingly fierce competition, exploring new methods and pursuing
uniqueness have become a new trend in Shanghai's bank card arena. Many
banks have set an eye on "fashion."
