Sleek High Speed Bullet Train To Roll Out On Beijing-Tianjin Route Before August
October 20, 2007 7:38 a.m. EST

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7008890309

Vittorio Hernandez - AHN News Writer

Beijing, China (AHN) - A thin-bodied train capable of running 300 kilometers per hour will roll out before August on the Beijing-Tianjin route in time for the Summer Games. China's revitalized railway system will provide not only high speed flights during the Games but also serve as information and publicity medium for the Beijing Olympics.

The new trains are the latest models of China Railway's high-speed series expected to match Japan's bullet trains. Its increased velocity will come from multiple engines placed in separate units, instead of the traditional single engine feature of slower trains. The body will use aluminum alloy, considered the lightest material of its kind in the world. The thinnest part of the bullet train's body measures 1.5 millimeters, Xinhua News quoted an unnamed official from the CSR Sifang Locomotive and Rolling Stock Company.

It will reduced the travel time for the 115 kilometer Beijing-Tianjin line to half an hour from the current 80 minutes. The 600-seat bullet train will debut before the Olympic Games opens on August.

More rail lines are being placed as a run up to the Summer Games, said Tong Lijun of the Railways Ministry.

More than a fast transport means, Beijing trains will also play a vital role in the event. Four Beijing bound locomotives from Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xi'an and Changsha will have TV screens, photos and other items to communicate Olympic information and Chinese customs and culture.

NATIONAL NEWS: China primes Tianjin as its engine of growth

By Jamil Anderlini in Tianjin, Financial Times

中国将天津作为发展引擎

英国金融时报报道

In the 1980s Deng Xiaoping, China's leader, transformed the sleepy fishing village of Shenzhen into the country's first "special economic zone" - offering cheap land and tax holidays to foreign manufacturers and local entrepreneurs.
In the 1990s, Jiang Zemin, as the president, anointed his native Shanghai's semi-rural Pudong district as the newest SEZ, and out of the swamps sprang the glittering skyscrapers of modern China.

That tendency toward monument-building remains and today China's leaders, led by President Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, the premier, are constructing their own plan for what is being billed as the most ambitious special economic zone yet in the northern port city of Tianjin, just an hour's drive from Beijing.

发展天津 ： 当前中国领导人的最具野心的特别经济区计划


"Over the next 20 years Tianjin Binhai New Area will become the third pole of Chinese economic growth - the new economic growth engine of China," says Gou Lijun, the man recently appointed by Beijing to run the zone.

With government loans of more than Rmb50bn and an annual budget of Rmb10bn provided by the finance ministry, the 2,270 sq km zone is intended to revitalise the economy in northern China. It will also be the showcase and testing ground for the political theories and policy initiatives of the new political generation.
The officials in charge of Binhai talk of building a "har-monious society" through a "scientific approach to growth". But behind the political rhetoric of the day they are also at the forefront of policy experiments in financial reform, environmental policy, technology and urban regeneration thanks to Beijing's decision to channel every big investment project and favourable new policy to the district.
In June 2005 Mr Wen, a Tianjin native, and 15 ministers spent three days locked away in a top hotel in the heart of what has become the Binhai New Area, discussing how to boost economic growth in the relatively backward north.
The conclusion was announced the following year: Tianjin would follow an economic growth model that has hardly changed in the three decades since China reopened its doors to the world.
The "New Area" amalgamates the existing Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (Teda), Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone and the Port of Tianjin, to create a district that had a GDP of Rmb112bn in the first half of this year and an annual growth rate of 20 per cent.
The roll call of preferential policies for the zone has had the desired effect of attracting foreign investors such as Airbus, which will begin -producing its first Chinese-assembled A-320s from its Binhai plant this time next year, and GlaxoSmithKline, which has its biggest factory there. Toyota will produce 1m cars in Tianjin by 2010, up from 300,000, and mobile phone producers such as Motorola and Samsung produced 100m handsets in the zone last year, according to Chen Liming, the deputy director of the Tianjin commission of commerce.
A new high-speed train that will reach Beijing within half an hour and depart every three minutes will be ready for next year's Olympic Games and three large petrochemical plants are on the drawing board, each with a capacity of 10m tonnes of petrol a year.
But officials say that just as important as those investments in plants and infrastructure is the way the new zone plans to manage the environmental impacts of its soaring economic growth.
"The Binhai project is the centrepiece in the government's plan to rebalance the economy and its success will have implications for the stability of the whole nation," says Ni Xiangyu, the vice-chairman of Teda's administrative commission..
Low-tech or polluting industries are banned from the zone and, according to Mr Gou, one-third of total infrastructure investment has been spent on environmental protection. One look out the window at Tianjin's choking smog and stinking waterways indicates a lot more needs to be done.

Tianjin shapes up as OTC bourse: 完整版!


The central government is likely to pick Tianjin's Binhai New Area to operate the national over-the-counter equity bourse, a Tianjin official said.

The decision could be announced as early as late this month, after the 17th Communist Party congress ends, as the mainland is eager to build a multi-layered financial system to absorb excess liquidity in the capital market.

Tianjin municipal government vice-secretary general Chen Zongsheng said the State Council had assigned the National Development and Reform Commission to lead discussions with 24 related ministries and agencies over Tianjin's proposal. The commission has conducted three rounds of discussions since the city submitted the proposal in March and it has been satisfied with the latest draft.'The NDRC said our plan is mature and offers an all-round solution for the OTC market,' Mr Chen said. The OTC proposal is part of Tianjin's wider financial reform plan submitted to the central government after the State Council designated the northeastern city's Binhai New Area as an experimental zone for comprehensive reforms last summer.

The mainland has two boards in Shanghai and Shenzhen, as well as a small and medium-sized enterprise board in Shenzhen. In the past few years, Shanghai has emerged as the main board.

Mainland scholars and officials have called for the establishment of an OTC market for companies that do not meet stock market listing requirements.

Central bank deputy-governor Wu Xiaoling said in June in Tianjin that without over-the-counter trading and private equity dealing outside the exchange, it would be difficult to create a favourable environment in which enterprises can mature and grow.

Beijing has a small-scale OTC market in its hi-tech Zhongguancun area, offering stake-trading services mainly for overseas venture capital.

Mr Chen said Tianjin's proposal was also endorsed by NDRC director Ma Kai, who stressed to Tianjin officials that the proposal was to build an entirely new national OTC market.

Siting the market in Tianjin would offer the city the kind of status that Shenzhen and Shanghai's Pudong in the east enjoy.

The OTC market would also reinforce Tianjin's efforts to fashion itself into a financial centre for the private equity sector, he said.'It would tell investors clearly that without taking their invested companies public, they could still choose to opt out when returns are satisfactory,' he said.Professor Deng Xiangrong at the Industry Research Centre of the Economics Department of Tianjin-based Nankai University said the central government would have sought a geographical balance if it decided to allow the OTC market in Tianjin.'The Bohai Sea rim areas have lagged behind the mainland's southern areas in the financial sector in recent years and a gift like the OTC market could well bring the northern areas on to the national stage,' Ms Deng said.She said an OTC market would bring a heavy capital flow to the area, as well as business travellers, which is what Binhai New Area needs most at this early stage of development.

However, Xia Bin, director of the Financial Research Institute under the State Council's Development Research Centre, warned in an earlier interview that an OTC market would not yield the kind of impact the Tianjin authorities are looking for.'It doesn't matter where you set up the market because people don't have to be there to trade - they trade by telephone and over the internet,' said Mr Xia, who was a director of Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1990s.

Mr Xia said Tianjin should instead focus on improving its basic facilities and service standards to attract investors.'When your services reach a higher standard and the policy environment is improved, businesses will come. It's a natural process, nothing the OTC market or anything else can replace,' Mr Xia said.Other proposals in Tianjin's financial reform plan include introducing financial products such as rural insurance policies, building comprehensive financial conglomerates operating banking and non-banking businesses, creating a private equity investment centre and an outsourcing centre for back-office services.

More important is the launch of the controversial through-train investment scheme to allow domestic investors to invest in Hong Kong stocks.

However, Mr Chen said he had no further details on the through-train scheme which has driven the Hong Kong stock market to new heights in recent weeks in anticipation of an inflow of mainland capital.

法新社：
中国领导人依靠天津建立经济乌托邦
China's leaders look to Tianjin for economic utopia

TIANJIN, China (AFP) — English-speaking and ambitious, high-ranking officials are remoulding the northern Chinese port city of Tianjin in the hope of creating a new path for the nation's economic development.
Their dream is a future where the factories are high-tech, the workforce educated, and the environment unscathed.
"We face the responsibility of creating a model that won't cost too much, whether in money terms or in environmental sacrifice," said Ni Xiangyu, vice chairman of the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area, or TEDA.
"It's a new model for northern China's heavy industrial areas, and for western China," he said, referring to the two regions lagging behind the booming east coast.
At its five-yearly Congress starting on Monday, China's Communist Party leaders will chart the course for the world's fourth largest economy until 2012.
The concepts being tried in Tianjin -- home city of Premier Wen Jiabao and just 90 minutes' drive from Beijing -- are widely seen as a test-run in the regime's efforts to curb the excesses of decades of breakneck economic growth.
At the Congress, President Hu Jintao is expected to have his ideology of "scientific development" incorporated into the party's charter.
......
This, and his campaign to build a "harmonious society," aim to address the the widening divide in China between rich and poor, city and countryside, east and west.
These concepts also intend to ensure the environment is protected as the nation develops.

"Life remains difficult for many low-income people," Premier Wen Jiabao said in his annual "state of the union" address to parliament in March.
"The pattern of economic growth is inefficient. This can be seen most clearly in excessive energy consumption and serious environmental pollution," he said in the same address.
But although pollution is still a problem in Tianjin, a city of nearly 11 million people on the Bohai Bay, it is possible to get a feel of what China's leaders are aiming for.
Officials here are brimming with optimism when they talk about the synergies that will emerge when Tianjin is linked with the capital by a hyper-modern high-speed rail connection that will shorten the travel time to 30 minutes.
Together, with their many universities, the two cities have one of the world's biggest concentrations of brain power, Ni, the vice chairman of TEDA, explained enthusiastically.
By 2010, the two cities may produce a quarter of the nation's vehicles, and Tianjin could be the home of "a space shuttle manufacturing park," he said.
Already, Airbus is building its first assembly plant outside Europe in Tianjin.
TEDA, whose economy increased by 28.8 percent last year, is now part of the Tianjin Binhai New Area, an even larger zone.
Nevertheless, amid the expansionist fever, officials said they would not budge on environmental or industrial safety standards.
"We always bargain with businesspeople over land prices or tax holidays. But with standards -- no bargain," said Ni.
"My team sometimes feels a bit uncomfortable about this but I think it will be very beneficial for the coming generations."
Companies in the area confirmed the relatively strict enforcement of environmental standards, among them Novozymes, a Danish producer of enzymes.
"TEDA is very concerned about the environment. They ask all investors to comply with discharge parameters. They'll only allow investors if they can accept the discharge standards," said Lin Jishang, a director with Novozymes.
Hua Min, an economics professor at Shanghai's Fudan University, said using Tianjin as an example for others to follow was a sign of the times.
When China first opened up to foreign investment in the late 1970s, anyone with money was let in. In future, Beijing wants local policy makers to consider costs such as damage to the environment before giving the green light to companies.
"The Tianjin model will be gradually rolled out to areas across the country if it proves to be successful," he said. "It shows China's opening-up will be more selective in the future."

Hexcel公司天津投资建厂，生产风力发电复合材料
22 Oct 2007  -  China

Hexcel Corporation, in conjunction with Tianjin Xeda Administrative Committee, has announced further details of its plans to build a new prepreg plant in China. The new facility is intended to meet the strong demand for composites used in wind turbines. China is experiencing major growth in its wind energy market and the country plans to double the amount of energy it obtains from renewable sources by 2020; a strategy that will require a major increase in the number of wind power plants in the country.

With the support of Xeda, Hexcel has secured a total floor area of 30 000m2 site in Tianjin, close to the facilities of major wind power customers. The plant building area will occupy approximately 8,000m2 and manufacture HexPly® epoxy resin prepregs, primarily for wind energy and industrial applications. Production at the new facility will commence in summer 2008.

Prepreg is fiber-reinforced resin system that cures under heat and pressure to produce structures with a very high strength to weight ratio. Prepreg is widely used in the wind energy industry where its outstanding strength and low weight have enabled turbine blades to grow to today’s giant proportions.

Mr Guoqing Zhang, Chief of Xiqing District said: “The Xiqing Economic Development Area (XEDA), a leading international industrial park in Tianjin, is very proud to welcome Hexcel as a new member of its family. This new partnership rewards XEDA’s continuing strategy in expanding the zone support for alternative energies of the future. Once more, XEDA, with its safe, friendly, time-tested infrastructure, transparent business environment and processional services, provided a win-win solution to share a stronger future for all stakeholders, solidifying its position as a leading destination for the international manufacturing community.”

David E. Berges, Hexcel Chairman and CEO commented: “Hexcel was a major force in introducing prepreg to the wind energy industry over a decade ago, working in partnership with blade manufacturers in Europe. We are very proud to be building on our experience by setting up this new facility in Tianjin and we thank Xeda for their support.”

Hexcel is a major supplier of composites to the wind energy industry in Europe, having supplied the first prepregs for composite wind blades in the early 1990’s. Since then the demand for composites has evolved exponentially with the size of the wind blades and Hexcel has remained at the forefront of the supply of composites to the industry, in the form of carbon- and glass-fiber reinforcements, prepregs (resin impregnated fiber-reinforcements) and a range of complementary materials and technologies, surface finishing materials, peel ply and paste adhesives.

TANGGU TIANJIN, China, Oct 18 (Reuters) - China's top oil firm CNPC has chosen a little-known, reclaimed north China harbour as the site of its planned refinery with Russia's Rosneft (ROSN.MM: Quote, Profile, Research), moving the project forward after nearly two years.

The state giant also hopes to build a major petrochemical complex and an oil storage facility on the site at a total cost of nearly $6 billion, industry officials told Reuters.

The site decision is among the first visible signs that the Sino-Russian venture -- one of several agreed in early 2006 -- is beginning to bear fruit, binding the world's number-two oil consumer and the biggest producer closer together. Deals to secure gas and oil from Russia have proven more elusive.

In a deal sealed by Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Beijing in March 2006, the two state-owned giants aim to build a 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery at the Tianjin Harbour Industrial Park, 80 square kilometres (31 sq miles) of reclaimed land off the Bohai Bay east of Beijing.

CNPC also hopes to add a 1 million tonnes per year (tpy) naphtha cracker and has begun laying the foundation for 12 million barrels of oil storage, sources familiar with the plan said, unexpected additions to the project.

It was not clear whether Rosneft would also be a partner in the new facilities.

If Beijing approves the project by the middle of next year, as expected, the plants should come on line around 2011. CNPC is the parent of Asia's top oil and gas firm PetroChina (PTR.N: Quote, Profile, Research) with a market capitalisation topping $400 billion.

"When CNPC plans an investment as big as this, it normally means they have the capacity to push it through," said an official with the Harbour Industrial Park's management committee.

CNPC agreed to the venture with Russia's largest oil producer with an eye toward securing long-term oil supply. The Russian firm was granted its first toehold in the lucrative Chinese fuel market with a right to run hundreds of petrol stations with CNPC.

An industry executive told Reuters in September that Chinese authorities would soon grant the business license, although neither firms had specified where to build such a plant.

The CNPC-Rosneft venture has already discreetly opened an office for engineers at a modest four-storey building for the Tianjin Harbour Industrial Park management committee, officials said.

A spokesman for CNPC was not immediately available for comment. A Beijing-based Rosneft official declined comment.

China aims to bring oil producers such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Venezuela into its refinery ventures in an effort to ensure a stable source of crude supply, while turning a cold shoulder to the oil majors who were early investors.

Third Airport to Start Building for Beijing
北京筹建第三机场（注：前两个是指首都机场和南苑机场）
Monday, October 22, 2007; Posted: 04:34 AM
http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/news/Stock%20News/724649/
BEIJING, Oct 22, 2007 (SinoCast China Transportation Watch via COMTEX)

A new domestic civil airport is set to start construction in 2010 to the south of Beijing, Yang Yuanyuan, head of the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC), disclosed in an interview.

Beijing Capital International Airport (Capital Airport) can hardly meet the surging demand, an insider from the CAAC explained. But Capital Airport will remain the industrial hub in the city.

Currently, the CAAC has set up a team so as to decide where the new airport will be located. The most hopeful candidate sites are Langfang and Tianjin, industry analysts pointed out.

。。。最有希望的候选人是廊坊和天津。。。

Tianjin, known for its fast growing industry, is a 120,000- square meter and 9.38 million-populated port city, 137 kilometers away from Beijing. Lang, a city in central Hebei, Northern China, is located between Beijing and Tianjin with an area of 6,429 square kilometers and a total population of 3.88 million.

The team will work out a feasibility study based on their study and suggestions from related units, including airports and airlines. It has been unknown yet how much to be invested in the new airport, which is reported to complete construction in 2015.

For the moment, the two airports - Capital Airport and Beijing Nanyuan Airport - are serving passenger flight and airfreight service providers in Beijing.

The air passenger throughput in the city is estimated to hike to 5.56 million ones during the period of the 2008 Olympic Games, which is beyond the city's current capacity.

As one of the largest airfields in the country, Capital Airport has joined hands with approximately 66 airlines, including 11 domestic ones and 55 international ones. From the airport, passengers can reach more than 88 cities in China and 69 cities in foreign countries.

The airport served 48.64 million passengers last year, ranking ninth on the global airport list issued by the Airports Council International (ACI).

The airport is building its third runway as long as 3,800 meters, and scheduled to complete it at the end of 2007. It has even decided where to build its fourth runway by now. In addition, it will construct a waiting building of 900,000 square meters.

The Chinese government has shown great support to the expansion. From 2007, it will earmark CNY 1 billion to fuel the growth of regional aviation, including over CNY 600 million for medium- and small-sized airfields and more than CNY 300 million for medium- and small-sized airways, told Yang.

美国南卡州加强同天津等城市贸易往来，天津在Greenville市设立商贸中心

Chinese companies reside in state as trade grows

On the eve of an S.C. trade mission to China, economic relationships between the small Southern state and the gigantic Asian nation are prospering.

Exports of S.C. goods to China, excluding Hong Kong, reached more than $700 million in 2006 as China became the state’s fifth-largest trading partner. Include Hong Kong and the number jumps to $868 million and fourth.

Ten Chinese companies now have operations in the state employing nearly 1,400. Three have U.S. headquarters offices here.

In addition to exporting, S.C. business leaders also are investing in China. Charleston-based lighting manufacturer Quoizel built a factory in China in 2005.

S.C. business officials exploring China can even stay at the Hotel Carolina near Shanghai, owned by a group from South and North Carolina and Georgia.

A trade mission led by the state Department of Commerce to introduce S.C. companies to markets in two of China’s most emerging markets — Chongqing and Tianjin — leaves Thursday and returns Nov. 11.

Cities like Chongqing and Tianjin are growing just as fast or in some cases faster than more popular cities such as Shanghai, but the foreign competition and even local competition is not as great.

The nearly 25 member delegation will include representatives from three S.C. companies — Cox Industries of Orangeburg; Grizzly Forest Products of Joanna; and Hydra Platforms Manufacturing of Rock Hill — and three N.C. companies.

Others going include: heads of the Horry and Dorchester county councils; Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen; Ray Stevens, director of the S.C. Department of Revenue; and Hunter Howard, president of the S.C. Chamber of Commerce.

The mission will be led by Gregory Guest, manager, export development and foreign relations: Asia Pacific Markets for the S.C. Department of Commerce, and Jayne Woodward of the U.S. Commercial Service in Columbia.

The group will be joined in China by John Ling, director of the S.C. China Office in Shanghai.

In addition to Chongqing and Tianjin, the delegation will also visit Shanghai and Beijing.

With Ling’s help, municipal executives and Howard will be promoting investment and tourism opportunities to the Chinese.

UNFAMILIAR PLACES

The focus of the mission for the business leaders will be Chongqing and Tianjin.

“These are places that most Americans have never heard of, but they are developing and getting four times the money that Beijing got (from the Chinese government) for the Olympics,” Guest said.

Chongqing is being developed as a showcase city by the Chinese central government, which is providing $160 billion over the next five years for infrastructure development.

The municipality is China’s largest with a population of 32 million. Four million people live in its urban area.

S.C. exports to China have been growing by double digits since 2001.

From 2005 to 2006, exports to China increased nearly 13 percent. That is down from previous years when exports grew by rates of 20 to 60 percent year over year: 35.3 percent in 2001, 37.5 percent in 2002, 21.3 percent in 2003, 67.6 percent in 2004 and 29.3 percent in 2005.

The Chinese government and Chinese companies made some very large purchases of S.C. goods this year.

The Chinese Ministry of Railroads is buying more than $350 million worth of railway track maintenance equipment from Harsco Track Technologies — the largest sale in the West Columbia company’s history.

Top exports to China are cotton, including yarns and fabrics; machinery; plastics; and organic chemicals (fertilizer).

LOOKING AT S.C.

Chinese businesses also are looking for investment opportunities in South Carolina.

In May, Gov. Mark Sanford and Chinese officials met in Greenville and signed a memorandum that made South Carolina a preferred state for Chinese investment.

Sanford has made three trips to China since he was elected in 2002.

Haier Group was among the first mainland Chinese companies to build a major plant in South Carolina. The appliance manufacturer’s refrigerator plant opened in Camden in 2000 now employs 250.

In March, Haier announced a plant expansion with the launch of a new refrigerator/freezer line.

The announcement was seen as the first phase of a $100 million, 1,000 job expansion announced in 2006 by Haier during Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi’s visit to South Carolina.


During that visit, S.C. officials also proposed creating a joint China-U.S. Innovation Research Center in South Carolina.

Madame Wu responded to the proposal by saying the Chinese would review it; however, not much has happened since.

“That research could likely end up being a part of the future growth at the Haier plant,” said Clarke Thompson, director of export development and foreign relations for the S.C. Department of Commerce. “The plans are for this plant to expand and for more research and development to occur there in the future.”

Peter Kwan, president of Pacific Gateway Capital Corp., and entrepreneur Vivian Wong have opened the Global Trade Park and Global Trade Center in Greenville to serve as an incubator and entry into the U.S. market for Chinese companies.

The trade center and surrounding business park are a “Free-Trade Zone” that allows Chinese companies to exhibit their wares without meeting U.S. customs requirements.

The park and center are being developed with the Chinese city of Tianjin, which has a sister city relationship with Greenville and opened a trade office in the park.

Columbia is working to develop ties with Yibin City and officials have exchanged visits.

More Chinese investment is coming, said Commerce’s Guest: “The numbers are still small at the moment, but you fast forward in a few years and you are going to have a different situation. Companies are coming.”

辛苦！

官员称：首都第二机场可能落户北京南部永定河畔，将促进北京天津河北发展

Beijing airport capacity to be increased

Print story Email to a friend Font size:BEIJING, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- An expansion of Beijing’s international airport is almost complete but it's already seen as inadequate to accommodate China’s burgeoning passenger traffic.

The third runway at the capital airport began operation Monday, while a third terminal building is set to open in February. But aviation officials think a fourth runway or a new international airport will soon be needed, China Daily reported Tuesday.

The report said the current expansion was based on projections for 60 million passengers and 1.8 million tons of cargo annually by 2015. But revised estimates have shown those traffic volumes will be reached much earlier.

“When we built the third runway, we gave ourselves the option to join it to a fourth if the government approved its construction,” one official said. “However, during project feasibility meetings, a number of experts suggested an additional runway would not significantly increase the airport's handling capability.”

The official said an alternative would now be to build a second airport. The new airport may be located south of Beijing near the Yongding River, which will add to the economic development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, the report said.

法国萨弗朗（Safran）集团同教育部，民航大学，天津市政府等合作在天津建立航空工程学校。

Since 2002, SAFRAN has been developing a partnership with Chinese universities in the fields of research and training. Two doctorate students have just been rewarded for their work. The Group is also providing its support for the opening of a new aeronautical school in Tianjin.

On 18 September 2007, at the Beijing air show, the Group awarded for the fifth year running its SAFRAN Prize. This prize rewards the best two theses produced in Chinese universities on subjects of interest to the Group. This year, there were two winners. The first prize went to Doctor Li Zhiping of the Beijing aeronautics and astronautics university (prize of 5000 euros), with the second prize, to the value of 2000 euros, being awarded to Dr. Lu Xingen of the Polytechnic University of North-West Xian. Their theses were selected by a jury composed of both French and Chinese adjudicators, in fields concerning compressor aerodynamics, and likely to be of great use in the design of aircraft engines.

Students today, partners tomorrow

The SAFRAN Prize was launched in 2002, to coincide with a training program for Chinese engineers in France at the Lyons Ecole Centrale (School of Engineering) in partnership with the top Chinese universities. One of the goals of this program is to make tomorrow¿s engineers in China familiar with the Group, its products and the know-how of its companies. It also serves as a means of recruiting some of these Chinese engineers, "who are extremely competent and who are certain, in years to come, to occupy important posts," says François Courtot, SAFRAN Senior

Vice-President, International Development. These students are likely to take up employment with French or Chinese companies in China. "They will be our partners or will work with our suppliers," François Courtot goes on to say. "We shall be able to recruit them for our factories, in the framework of our development in China. Since they will already be familiar with our products, this will ease their integration."

A new school at Tianjin since September

This prize is just one of many actions being undertaken by the Group, which is going still further with its investments in higher education in China. "The other aspect of our action involves the training of Chinese engineers in French schools located in France and in China," Mr. Courtot continues. "Following on from the partnership with the Ecole Centrale de Lyon and the Chinese universities, we have supported the Beijing School of Engineering and are now working with Thales and EADS on the creation of a new school for aeronautical engineers at Tianjin, which received its first student intake on September 1, this year," adds François Courtot. This school of aeronautics at Tianjin is on the site of the future assembly hall for the Airbus A320. It has received the support, in France, of the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the DGAC and the GEA (the grouping of French aeronautical schools, comprising ENAC, ENSMA and ISAE). On the Chinese side, the Ministry of Education, the municipal government of Tianjin, the Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC), Tianjin, and three aeronautical universities (Beijing, Xian and Nanjing) have all lent their support to the new school.
