Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, which borders Russia, will also establish20 vegetable-growing bases to grow carrot, onion, tomato, sugarbeet, salad potatoand colored sweet pepper in select counties and towns to develop border trade. China's vegetable exports to traditional markets have confronted multiple pressurein recent years. Take garlic for instance. Brazil currently imposes anti-dumping dutyof $0.78 per kilogram of Chinese garlic, while the United States has an anti-dumping tariff as high as 376 percent for the same product since 1995. Both the European Union and Indonesia implement strict quota control on China'sgarlic exports. The state-run South Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corp evenrefused to approve the import of 2,200 metric tons of garlic shipped by Shandongexporters in January because of what they called quality issues, resulting in a lossof more than $1.59 million for the farmers. Because of geopolitics and regional conflict in Ukraine, Russia had already bannedall import of fruits and vegetables from Europe and food from the United States inresponse to previous Western sanctions in 2014. Chai said this has encouragedChinese export to its neighbor amid the current international market demand.

"Compared with fast-growing chickens that are ready for slaughter within 20 days, our chickens live cage-free for at least 150 days in the woods," said Zhou, who is a graduate of Canada's University of Windsor. The twenty-something entrepreneur gave up a white-collar job in Canada in 2013 to return to her hometown in Fuzhou, so she could raise the free-range chickens in the forest where her parents had farmed 1,000 hectares for more than a decade. Zhou is expanding and evolving an idea of her father's, who first released chickens into the woods about seven years ago. He did so because he had no time to attend to them in captivity. The birds soon adapted. "Only those birds that are strong and good at flying can live for a long time in the woods," said Zhou Jing. "It's survival of the fittest."

Chen Zhanheng, deputy secretary-general of the Association of China Rare EarthIndustry, said that most of the rare earth companies have been consistently losingmoney with many even facing the probability of unit closures this year. "Some small smelters have stopped paying admission fees as the situation isbecoming worse," he told China Daily on the sidelines of the 7th China Baotou RareEarth Industry Forum held in Baotou of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region,which accounts for most of the country's output. He said many companies rushed into rare earth mining and production businesswhen the market was good, producing much more products than the market reallyneeded, which coupled with illegal mining that has driven down the prices. "Rare earths are not as difficult to mine and process as many seem to think, somany illegal miners are bypassing the regulations to dig and smelt the metals. This,in turn, led to a glut in the market," he said. Industry data showed that production capacity of neodymium iron boronpermanent magnets－made out of rare earths and used in a wide range ofindustrial applications ranging from smartphones to airplane equipment－was amere 8,000 tons in 2000, but it has subsequently grown 50-fold in about 15 years. The average prices for rare metals have been declining in China since 2011 andhave continued to drop in recent months despite the government controls andcrackdown on smuggling and black market trade.

"All the substantive restructuring will be finished by the end of June." He said ministry officials will also continue to implement targeted policies to support the reshuffle, and the six groups themselves will continue to improve their coordinating mechanism to further help stabilize the rare earth market. The six companies are: China Northern Rare Earth (Group) High-tech Co Ltd, China Minmetals Corp, Aluminum Corp of China, Guangdong Rare Earth Corp, China South Rare Earth Group and Xiamen Tungsten Co Ltd.

"Due to its perfect coloring and nontoxic properties the coloring agent, mainly for plastics and leathers, can replace most existing dyes in the market," said Zhang Hongjie, inventor of the colorant and member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There are currently two kinds of coloring agent in the Chinese market: organic compounds releasing toxic gases with high temperatures and inorganic compounds containing heavy metal elements like lead and cadmium.

Adidas Group's China unit reached its sales target of 2 billion euros ($2.19 billion) for 2015, and thus successfully completed a five-year business strategy makeover that began in 2010. In the first nine months of 2015, its gross profit rose almost 40 percent year-on-year to 1.05 billion euros. Colin Currie, managing director, Adidas Group, Greater China, attributed the "record achievement" to the company's ability to execute "a decisive strategy". Rising disposable incomes, which are increasing consumer spending, helped expand the sporting goods industry in 2015, Adidas said. This trend is particularly evident in China's smaller cities.

- http://www.scmp.com/business/markets/article/1902753/painful-steel-industry-reforms-needed-iron-out-overcapacityChina’s steel industry needs to reforge itself through painful reforms before the world’s largest steel producer can iron out its overcapacity problems, analysts who follow the market say, though a legacy of climbdowns by reformers in the face of local intransigence will be hard to overcome. These barriers appear because higher unemployment levels and lower production output when plants are mothballed and companies merged mean less taxation revenues for local governments and more social security costs as families turn to state support as bread winners lose their jobs. “Two mounting issues have kept the Politburo worried: employment and debt, which could undermine social/financial stability. Policy response now makes us believe closure will be slow and Chinese steel will continue to flood the international markets,” Jefferies’ equities analysts Po Wei and Howard Lau wrote last week. Speaking at a meeting of steel industry executives early this month, Premier Li Keqiang said the mainland would set a “ceiling” on steel production with capacity control, production cuts and rationalising inventories all part of the reform agenda. China’s steel plant utilisation stood at around 67 per cent last year, well below the 85 per cent or above between 2000 and 2008, when the industry was on a roll. Such a grim outlook formed the backdrop to recent comments by Zhang Guangning, chairman of the China Iron and Steel Association, when he said that “in years to come, apparent consumption will see a slow reduction trend ... resulting in severe imbalances among production capacity, output and consumption”.

This is seen as part of the wider reform in the oil and gas industry to increase competition and enhance operating transparency and efficiency. Not only will the move face opposition from state-owned pipeline owners and independent shareholders - unless they are adequately compensated for losing control of their strategic assets - a new regulatory regime will have to be set up to ensure fairness of energy trading platforms needed to complement open access to the pipelines. "The idea of having one or more independent entities running the pipelines is good but not easy to implement," said Lin Boqiang, the director of Xiamen University's China Centre for Energy Economics Research. "The fact that most of the pipelines are owned by the listed units of the state energy giants also makes it more challenging … as consent of the minority shareholders will likely be needed."

ENN Group, its parent, is among 11 firms that won licences in December to sell electricity in Guangdong – the first mainland province to open up the sector.
Three of the 11 firms are private ones, with the remainder, including two large power producers, being state-owned. Late last year, Beijing announced detailed policies on dismantling the retail monopoly held by mainland China’s two state-owned power distributors, and encouraged private firms like ENN to join the fray. “Guangdong will be our trial project, which will be rolled out when regulation allows to over 20 industrial parks where we have obtained rights to distribute natural gas,” ENN Energy deputy chairman Cheung Yip-sang said on Tuesday. “Our customers are very supportive of our integrated model of providing power, gas, heat and cooling services.”

The company has set up natural gas sales units in provinces including Henan and Jiangsu and cities such as Shanghai to reach out to manufacturers and power generators, said industry sources. An economy growing at the slowest pace in 25 years is curtailing demand and compelling PetroChina to aggressively market its gas, the latest struggle among global energy companies as prices and consumption weaken. "China is facing a gas glut as supply exceeds demand," Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Wang Lu and Miranda Wang said in a research note on July 31. "Amid slower industrial output growth, the competitive edge of gas has been eroded by a slump in Brent crude and a slow adjustment in gas prices." "PetroChina sells about 45 percent of its natural gas directly to large industrial customers and the rest through utilities to other industrial and residential users," said Shi Yan, an analyst at UOB-Kay Hian Ltd in Shanghai. The company is offering large users, such as power plants and fertilizer makers, guaranteed year-round direct supply to counter concerns that increased residential demand for heating in the winter will interrupt deliveries, according to the sources. PetroChina is also open to negotiating flexible prices for supply in the summer, when demand is lower. China Petroleum and Chemical Corp, or Sinopec, is also promoting gas sales to customers such as power plants, an official at the company said, asking not to be identified, citing internal policy.

The label of "made in China", which was synonymous with the global solar industry,is in danger of fading out as a growing number of firms move their plants overseasto skirt spiralling import duties. Hit hard by the steep tariffs imposed by the United States and the European Unionand coupled with rising labor costs in coastal cities, major solar panelmanufacturers such as Trina Solar Ltd and Jinko Solar Holding Co Ltd are speedingup construction of factories in countries like Thailand and Malaysia. Experts said it has already become a trend that more Chinese companies aremoving their manufacturing bases abroad, especially to Southeast Asia, which willhave a positive impact on local solar cell industries. Though it is only a fraction of China's solar capacity which is expected to reach 40gigawatts this year, the Southeast Asia solar industry is growing rapidly. During the first six months of the year, Southeast Asia has attracted 4.5 gW of solarpower generation capacity from China, among which solar capacity in Thailandreached 2 gW and that in Malaysia more than 1.5 gW.

That is three times the scale of the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest hydropower project, by power production. By 2050 these waste panels would add up to 20 million tonnes, or 2,000 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower, according to Lu.

Set to begin operations in 2018, Yanchang will capture 410,000 tonnes of carbon a year from a coal-to-gas plant in Shaanxi province, the country’s coal heartland. The project could mitigate emissions from the notoriously polluting and water-intensive coal-conversion process used by coal-to-gas plants, which the Chinese government has been promoting in the face of slumping coal prices. Captured carbon would be transported by truck 140km to the Qiaojiawa oilfields 20 tonnes at a time, making the Yanchang project the world’s first “full-chain” carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.
Defense
- http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/6f2301b4-ac61-11e4-af0e-00144feab7de.html While the PLA used to be the final bastion against capitalist aggression, it has been forced by Communist party fiat to allow private companies into the guarded inner sanctum of defence procurement — once the exclusive preserve of elite state-owned monopolies. The decision to bring in the private sector is part of a broad reform aimed at streamlining China’s bloated, 2.2m-man army and turn it into a 21st-century fighting force that can outfox US carrier battle groups in the western Pacific, rather than win low-tech land battles in case of a mass invasion by Russia or Japan. Defence is a growth industry in China, with its military budget growing at double digits nearly every year for the past two decades, as Beijing seeks to assert itself as a global power. Allowing the private sector to participate is also part of an effort to bring transparency and fight entrenched vested interests that have bloated the costs of military hardware in China.
- https://www.ft.com/content/5883d3d2-62cd-11e7-91a7-502f7ee26895 China’s military is increasingly enlisting smaller private sector start-ups in the race to create the next generation of high-tech weaponry. Once the preserve of a few secretive Chinese state-owned conglomerates, the lucrative realm of defence procurement is gradually being opened to nimbler, cheaper and more innovative private sector start-ups. While the process of including the private sector in military procurement tenders on a large scale started in 2013, it is only recently that the People’s Liberation Army has sourced sensitive next-generation technology such as drones and artificial intelligence from private start-ups. The new strategy has been pioneered by President Xi Jinping who this year created a Military-Civil Integration Development Commission with himself as head.

The leader of the Chinese pack is China South Industries Group (CSGC), which came in at fifth with an estimated revenue of about US$22 billion in arms sales in 2016 – about half the revenue of the world’s biggest manufacturer, Lockheed Martin. Also in the top 20 were China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. China State Shipbuilding Corporation, which earned just under US$5 billion in 2016, was 22nd.
Agriculture
- beef
- http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2015-07/23/content_21384664.htm The lack of quality beef on market shelves is a direct result of farmers simply tryingto boost production, and make enough money to survive. The most common type of cattle feed here is corn and bran. China's corn prices hita record high in July last year, and then plummeted 30 percent this year. But pricefluctuations like this are bad news for farmers. Unlike cattle, often very picky inwhat they eat, the pig is the ultimate omnivore. It also takes at least two years for a calf to be ready for slaughter. In contrast, ittakes a piglet only six months. No wonder industry numbers show enthusiasm to be a beef farmer is waning. The National Development and Reform Commission unveiled a blueprint for thenational beef and mutton industries for 2013-2020. Preliminary estimates suggest the government plans to pump at least 1.7 billionyuan into the sector during that period. But because of the shortage in supply of Chinese beef products already building up,rising amounts of imported beef are already looking the better, cheaper, qualityoption, and that official blueprint will have to be widened significantly in its scope. According to the US Department of Agriculture, China's beef imports were about550,000 tons in 2014, up 138,000 tons from 2013. Australia remains China's biggest source of imported beef. US beef is currently barred from the Chinese mainland because of previous casesof mad cow disease. But industry sources say large amounts are still finding theirway in, illegally.

With around 5,000 varieties, global potato production in 2013 was estimated at 368 million tons. This was an increase of more than 20 percent during the past two decades. "As the largest producer of potatoes, China accounts for more than 25 percent of the world's production," Bayer AG, a German chemical and pharmaceutical company that specializes in agricultural pro-ducts, reported. "With a comparably low average productivity rate of about 17 tons per hectare, the country still has great potential when compared to Europe, with 30 tons per hectare, and the US, with more than 40 tons per hectare, to further enhance its yields." Key growing areas are the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Gansu province in the northwest of China and the southwest province of Yunnan. With cool, dry climates and constant sunlight, they are ideal for potato farming.

As an increasing number of dairy companies start to reduce or halt their collection of fresh milk,many farmers there are being forced to pour their milk down the drain or even have their dairyherds slaughtered. And while domestic farmers find it increasingly hard to sell their fresh milk, the import of dairyproducts has continued to grow.
- http://europe.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2015-09/04/content_21787165.htm Demand for cheese is expected to keep growing in the coming years amid higher interest in Western cuisine and healthier lifestyle habits in the country. New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd is expanding fast in China thanks to its strategy of selling products to food services clients in the country, including mozzarella and cream cheese. The company, which foresees ongoing growth in the next five years, is spending heavily to ramp up production volumes outside of its home market to satisfy China's new hunger for processed cheese. Robert Spurway, managing director of global operations at Fonterra, said: "We have invested more than $170 million in doubling production of mozzarella, cream cheese and processed cheese slices over the past 18 months." Although not at love at first bite, Chinese have been gradually developing a passion for cheese, evidenced by the solid growth in imports, interest and consumption of the product. Jin Han, business director at Chinese food importer Shanghai Roria Trading Co, said: "We are seeing continuous expansion in cheese products sales because new consumers are always joining in, while existing consumers are increasing their level of consumption by trying new products." To reflect this, China's cheese market is expected to be worth 3.55 billion yuan ($570 million) this year, up 24 percent compared with 2014, according to market research firm Euromonitor International Ltd. By 2017, Euromonitor sees the value of China's cheese market jumping to 5.38 billion yuan. France-based cheese manufacturer Groupe Bel, owner of the Laughing Cow, Mini Babybel and Kiri brands, started selling cheese products in China in 2007.

But times are changing as major brands report crumbling sales andtumbling profits. For the second quarter of this year, Mondelez International Inc, which ownsCadbury chocolate products and Oreo cookies, announced a 9.2 percent drop inprofit to $7.7 billion compared to the same period in 2014. Demand in the Asia-Pacific region, which includes China, fell by 5.5 percent to $1.02 billion. In a move to cut costs, the multinational confectionery, food and beverageconglomerate, based in the United States, has started trimming staff in Nanjing andShanghai as well as moving its Beijing office to one of its factories in the capital. It is also planning to close a Shanghai plant, which employs 400 workers, which willleave Mondelez with six factories in China and a work force of around 5,500people. "Consumption of chocolates has declined significantly in the past 12 months,"Jason Yu, general manager of consumer market research company KantarWorldpanel China, said. "High-end chocolates with glossy packaging, which were excellent gifts, have seena significant drop in sales due to the Chinese government's anti-corruptioncrackdown. Also, ordinary consumers now have more choices when it comes tosnacks." Mondelez is not the only major player suffering. Mars Inc, the world's largestconfectionery maker with brands such as Dove, M&M and Snickers, has felt thechill of slowing sales. Data from Euromonitor International Ltd, the privately owned market intelligencefirm based in the United Kingdom, showed that Mars' market share dropped for thefirst time in China last year to 39.4 percent from 39.6 percent in 2013. Euromonitorhas predicted it will shrink to 38.8 percent this year. Hershey Co, an iconic brand in the US, saw its chocolate sales in China fall to $35million in the second quarter of this year. As a result, Hershey globally reported anet loss of $99.9 million, while it made a net income of $168.2 million a year ago. "We have been disappointed with our performance in China so far," Steven Schiller,president of Hershey China and Asia, said.

The word “love” is written everywhere and cute cuddly toys can be found all over the pastel pink reception. But then, the Wan Ai chain does not run ordinary hotels. Instead, they are part of the new phenomenon of love-themed hotels springing up in the country. Although the concept of love hotels came from Japan, it has quickly spread to other countries in the region such as China and South Korea. “Our company plans to open a total of 20 new hotels across different locations in China this year,” Liu Baolong, hotel manager at Wan Ai, said. Since rolling out its first hotel in 2011, the Wan Ai chain has opened a total of five properties in Beijing. Outside the capital, franchises can be found in Hubei’s Wuhan, Yunnan’s Kunming, Henan’s Zhengzhou and in Tianjin. Although there are no official figures to explain this trend, the chain’s fast expansion reflects its increasing popularity. The key feature that distinguishes a love hotel from an ordinary one is the decoration of the rooms. They mainly consist of fantasy interiors, decorated in bright colors, with the walls adorned with hearts.

- http://www.chinadailyasia.com/business/2016-10/10/content_15508308.html Merger of leading cement companies will likely concentrate the industry's capacities, according to the China Cement Association.
In a recent paper on the cement industry consolidation, the CCA informed the government departments concerned that by the end of 2020, more than 60 percent of the production capacity in the country would vest in the top 10 companies. Qiao Longde, president of the CCA, said that the industry is mired in low efficiency and chaos because most cement factories are small and scattered, lacking in high technologies and management expertise. "There are too many cement enterprises, which makes it very hard to utilize resources effectively," said Qiao. China has more than 3,500 cement enterprises. The top 10 have only a combined 54 percent of the total production capacity. This has led to vicious competition and price wars. The State Council issued a notice on the restructuring of the building materials industry in May, stipulating that the top ten cement clinker companies should account for 60 percent of the country's total output. In August, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council approved the merger of China National Building Materials Group Corp and China National Materials Group Corp.
The new company, called China National Building Material Group Co Ltd, has total assets of 550 billion yuan ($82.5 billion), making it the largest building materials group in China. Its cement production capacity of cement clinker ranks among the biggest in the world.

The proposal, which was submitted to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), also appealed for more legal protection for newspapers to counter widespread copyright infringement online, media outlet Caixin reported on the weekend. The proposal was submitted by Li Dongdong, former deputy director of the General Administration of Press and Publication, as well as 83 CPPCC delegates. Newspapers had been a “major battlefield of party propaganda” but faced growing challenges from new media technology and digital groups formed byold-media titans, Caixin cited the proposal as saying. In the proposal published on the China Newspaper Association’s WeChat account, delegates called for a state fund to help newspapers, especially Communist Party-owned outlets and those run by government departments, integrate with online media.

Ms Du and others like her are aiming to replicate the success of US companies such as Genentech and Amgen, which suddenly appeared in the 1980s to become forces in global pharma. As a service provider to local and foreign companies alike, WuXi AppTec is well placed to assess progress. Steve Yang, the company’s chief operating officer and a veteran of AstraZeneca, Pfizer and the University of California, urges caution. “There is a group of Chinese companies that are well positioned, but how many years did it take for the world to appreciate Genentech? It took decades. The race is on, but it’s still very early.”

Encouraged by a relaxation of foreign ownership rules last year and a rapidly ageing population, private equity firms such as TPG Capital and industry players including Malaysia’s IHH Healthcare are investing in mainland hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and medical device makers. The prospect of 223 million people aged 65 or older predicted to live on the mainland by 2030 is just too enticing for such companies, despite significant risks such as weak hospital infrastructure, rising valuations and a dearth of doctors.

This will mark a major legislative breakthrough for the protection of animals used in research and testing by the pharmaceutical and other industries. The draft, which is available for public opinion until Sunday, is expected to greatly improve the welfare of laboratory animals in China, according to Sun Deming, chairman of the Welfare and Ethics Committee of the Chinese Association for Laboratory Animal Sciences. "Although all users of laboratory animals are required to conduct welfare and ethics reviews, they adopt different standards, and some are too lax," Sun said. Qin Chuan, the association's president, said the lack of legislation has become a bottleneck for the development of China's multibillion-yuan biological and pharmaceutical industries and other industries related to the use of laboratory animals. The new standard, which aims to minimize the use of animals and also their pain, integrates the latest concepts and requirements for the ethical treatment of lab animals, Sun said.

The value of China's sports industry, which includes sports-competition-related sales, fitness club operations, sporting goods manufacturing and media rights sales, was 952 billion yuan by the end of 2012, according to the 2014 edition of the Annual Report on Development of the Sports Industry. The recent governmental call to unleash the market by relinquishing administrative powers will accelerate the industry's growth, said Lin, who was a member of the State Council's sports policy expert panel. "With the central government's decision to relinquish approval and overseeing rights for commercial and mass sporting events, more private investors and NGOs are expected to dream big in the current State-dominated sports industry, and bring vitality to the market," Lin said.

While there are no official figures for the number of golf simulation centers in the country, the industry is growing rapidly. "Although our club has been open for 10 years, indoor golf only started to become really popular two years ago," Kong, a marketing manager at the CEG, said. "And it is because more young people are becoming interested in the sport." A glance at the golf industry in China shows it is booming with the country's middle class splashing out money on leisure activities. "The golf sector here was valued at about 6.5 billion yuan ($1.04 billion) in 2013, and it has been experiencing roughly a 10 percent growth rate year-on-year since then," Matthieu David-Experton, an analyst at Daxue Consulting, which offers services to international companies in China, said. The sport here is even starting to catch up on traditional markets in the United States and Europe. According to the research company Markets Report China, the country has between 920,000 to 1.1 million golfers. And the sport is expected to grow now that golf has become an Olympic event at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

According to latest data available from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, cremation was the method chosen for around half of all funerals in 2012. However, due to weaknesses in professional training and education, there is a shortage of crematorium workers. Sun Yulin, an official from the ministry's professional skills evaluation center, said that out of China's more than 82,000 undertakers, only 20 or so were senior crematorium workers with advanced certification and fewer than 200 had technician certification for cremation. In a bid to improve the profession's image and allow outsiders to understand a little more about it, the country's first cremation competition was held in Beijing recently, featuring both written and practical tests. It was jointly organized by the ministry, the Chinese Workers' Technical Association and Beijing Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs. A total of 19 crematorium workers from across the country took part. Wei Tong from Beijing won the championship and was awarded a labor medal, the highest honor for ordinary Chinese workers. Sun, from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said cremation "requires specialist skills, including the knowledge and practical skills to use the equipment and control exhaust gases".

EquexChina, an equestrian consultancy and events management firm founded in Shanghai in 2012, has worked with some of the top equestrian events in the UK. The company has also established connections with some members of the British royal family. Linda Lee, founder of EquexChina, said she believes equestrian disciplines represent sportsmanship at its most elegant and capture the passion for adventure, which is inherently ingrained in British aristocracy. "I find equestrian sports so elegant and graceful. For example, the riders in many equestrian events wear suits, ties and top hats and everything is done in such a proper manner," Lee said. In May 2014, EquexChina set up a traditional Inner Mongolian inspired tent at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, an event that takes place next to Windsor Castle, the country residence of the queen. In August 2013 and 2014, EquexChina participated in the Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park, the family home of The Princess Royal. The festival is a significant date in the British eventing calendar and incorporates the British Open, intermediate and novice championships. As a part of the company's involvement in the festival in 2014, Lee presented prizes to winners of the advanced class alongside Princess Anne. EquexChina also set up a tent at the festival to showcase China's horse culture.

- 昨天發佈的《文化藍皮書》指出，近年來內地文化貿易額增長迅速，但文化貿易佔總貿易比例非常小，約為2%至2.5%，香港為最大文化貿易夥伴；同時，儘管文化產品順差呈現不斷擴大趨勢，但其他文化服務貿易，諸如圖書版權等卻存在長期的逆差。課題組專家指出，在內地全球發展戰略中，文化仍然是一塊急需彌補的短板，反思近年來實施「文化走出去」戰略時出現的問題，基本上可以歸納為「以內宣模式做外宣」的結果，因此現在需要做的是「以外宣創新倒逼內宣改革」。《文化藍皮書》由中國社科院文化研究中心組織編寫。藍皮書稱，中國內地與主要貿易國家及地區的文化貿易額（僅限於文化產品貿易，不包括文化服務貿易）從1996年的59.8億美元上升到2013年的682.5億美元，文化貿易額增長迅速，但文化貿易佔總貿易比例非常小，僅為2%至2.5%。同時，1996年至2013年，內地文化產品進口額的增長幅度小於出口額的增長幅度，文化產品的順差呈現不斷擴大的趨勢，但其他文化服務貿易，諸如圖書版權等卻存在長期的逆差，存在作品分佈不均勻等問題。藍皮書顯示，2013年，與內地文化產品貿易額最大的十個國家及地區依次為香港、美國、日本、韓國、印度、比利時、新加坡、英國、德國、荷蘭，香港佔比達41%。可以發現，由於香港與內地的政治、經濟、文化聯繫密切，文化相容性較好，內地相關貿易政策措施也在一定程度上向香港傾斜，同時香港作為自由港和世界重要的離岸金融中心，使之成為對外貿易包括文化貿易在內的重要中轉站。而美國作為世界上最大的文化產品輸出國，與中國的文化貿易量佔比居第二位，達到19%，其中最主要的原因是美國強大的經濟實力和國際影響力，以及如荷里活等國際知名電影公司的大力推動。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2016/04/12/a14-0412.pdf

This will mark a major legislative breakthrough for the protection of animals used in research and testing by the pharmaceutical and other industries. The draft, which is available for public opinion until Sunday, is expected to greatly improve the welfare of laboratory animals in China, according to Sun Deming, chairman of the Welfare and Ethics Committee of the Chinese Association for Laboratory Animal Sciences. "Although all users of laboratory animals are required to conduct welfare and ethics reviews, they adopt different standards, and some are too lax," Sun said. Qin Chuan, the association's president, said the lack of legislation has become a bottleneck for the development of China's multibillion-yuan biological and pharmaceutical industries and other industries related to the use of laboratory animals. The new standard, which aims to minimize the use of animals and also their pain, integrates the latest concepts and requirements for the ethical treatment of lab animals, Sun said.

The value of China's sports industry, which includes sports-competition-related sales, fitness club operations, sporting goods manufacturing and media rights sales, was 952 billion yuan by the end of 2012, according to the 2014 edition of the Annual Report on Development of the Sports Industry. The recent governmental call to unleash the market by relinquishing administrative powers will accelerate the industry's growth, said Lin, who was a member of the State Council's sports policy expert panel. "With the central government's decision to relinquish approval and overseeing rights for commercial and mass sporting events, more private investors and NGOs are expected to dream big in the current State-dominated sports industry, and bring vitality to the market," Lin said.

According to the research company Markets Report China, the country has between 920,000 to 1.1 million golfers. And the sport is expected to grow now that golf has become an Olympic event at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

According to latest data available from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, cremation was the method chosen for around half of all funerals in 2012. However, due to weaknesses in professional training and education, there is a shortage of crematorium workers. Sun Yulin, an official from the ministry's professional skills evaluation center, said that out of China's more than 82,000 undertakers, only 20 or so were senior crematorium workers with advanced certification and fewer than 200 had technician certification for cremation. In a bid to improve the profession's image and allow outsiders to understand a little more about it, the country's first cremation competition was held in Beijing recently, featuring both written and practical tests. It was jointly organized by the ministry, the Chinese Workers' Technical Association and Beijing Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs. A total of 19 crematorium workers from across the country took part. Wei Tong from Beijing won the championship and was awarded a labor medal, the highest honor for ordinary Chinese workers. Sun, from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said cremation "requires specialist skills, including the knowledge and practical skills to use the equipment and control exhaust gases".

The crackdown - led by the country's powerful Ministry of Public Security - is being seen as a significant extension of the unprecedented campaign to clean up Macau's casinos launched by Beijing late last year. That campaign has already seen a number of major junket operators - the shady firms that bring high rollers to the tables - shrink or close their operations in the former Portuguese enclave. Chinese authorities will first focus on casino operators in neighbouring countries that have set up offices "to attract and recruit Chinese citizens" to gamble abroad, said Hua Jingfeng, a deputy director at the Ministry of Public Security.

EquexChina, an equestrian consultancy and events management firm founded in Shanghai in 2012, has worked with some of the top equestrian events in the UK. The company has also established connections with some members of the British royal family. Linda Lee, founder of EquexChina, said she believes equestrian disciplines represent sportsmanship at its most elegant and capture the passion for adventure, which is inherently ingrained in British aristocracy. "I find equestrian sports so elegant and graceful. For example, the riders in many equestrian events wear suits, ties and top hats and everything is done in such a proper manner," Lee said. In May 2014, EquexChina set up a traditional Inner Mongolian inspired tent at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, an event that takes place next to Windsor Castle, the country residence of the queen. In August 2013 and 2014, EquexChina participated in the Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park, the family home of The Princess Royal. The festival is a significant date in the British eventing calendar and incorporates the British Open, intermediate and novice championships. As a part of the company's involvement in the festival in 2014, Lee presented prizes to winners of the advanced class alongside Princess Anne. EquexChina also set up a tent at the festival to showcase China's horse culture.

- 昨天發佈的《文化藍皮書》指出，近年來內地文化貿易額增長迅速，但文化貿易佔總貿易比例非常小，約為2%至2.5%，香港為最大文化貿易夥伴；同時，儘管文化產品順差呈現不斷擴大趨勢，但其他文化服務貿易，諸如圖書版權等卻存在長期的逆差。課題組專家指出，在內地全球發展戰略中，文化仍然是一塊急需彌補的短板，反思近年來實施「文化走出去」戰略時出現的問題，基本上可以歸納為「以內宣模式做外宣」的結果，因此現在需要做的是「以外宣創新倒逼內宣改革」。《文化藍皮書》由中國社科院文化研究中心組織編寫。藍皮書稱，中國內地與主要貿易國家及地區的文化貿易額（僅限於文化產品貿易，不包括文化服務貿易）從1996年的59.8億美元上升到2013年的682.5億美元，文化貿易額增長迅速，但文化貿易佔總貿易比例非常小，僅為2%至2.5%。同時，1996年至2013年，內地文化產品進口額的增長幅度小於出口額的增長幅度，文化產品的順差呈現不斷擴大的趨勢，但其他文化服務貿易，諸如圖書版權等卻存在長期的逆差，存在作品分佈不均勻等問題。藍皮書顯示，2013年，與內地文化產品貿易額最大的十個國家及地區依次為香港、美國、日本、韓國、印度、比利時、新加坡、英國、德國、荷蘭，香港佔比達41%。可以發現，由於香港與內地的政治、經濟、文化聯繫密切，文化相容性較好，內地相關貿易政策措施也在一定程度上向香港傾斜，同時香港作為自由港和世界重要的離岸金融中心，使之成為對外貿易包括文化貿易在內的重要中轉站。而美國作為世界上最大的文化產品輸出國，與中國的文化貿易量佔比居第二位，達到19%，其中最主要的原因是美國強大的經濟實力和國際影響力，以及如荷里活等國際知名電影公司的大力推動。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2016/04/12/a14-0412.pdf

- 國家對外文化貿易基地（北京）昨日宣佈將建設中國首家海外回流文物口岸交易市場，並將於11月底以舉辦2015(北京)中國海外回流文物博覽會的形式正式啟動運行。這意味目前大量流失在海外的中國文物和藝術品今後將可以通過這一官方認可的綠色通道合法回歸，進入正常交易和流通環節。據介紹，交易市場享有國家對外文化貿易基地（北京）「境內關外、免證、保稅的政策優勢，可通過保稅展售、交易會、拍賣會和文物出入境科學檢測、鑒定服務等方式，向國際文物經營機構、攜帶中國境外文物的歸國人員提供海外回流文物展覽展示及交易平台，並提供文物鑒定、保護、保稅存儲、交易交割等服務。目前，交易市場用於文物存儲的藝術品精品保稅庫已投入運營，近2000平米專業藝術品保稅展陳交易中心即將規劃裝修，首批價值800萬元的藝術品檢測修復設備業已到位，可為文物提供鑒證鑒定、保管修復，為文物藝術品進出口的唯一性查驗、合法性溯源等提供專業支持。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2015/07/01/a28-0701.pdf

-http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20150820/00178_010.html 內地非法傳銷問題氾濫，摧毀無數家庭，甚至被形容為「社會最大公害」，民間反傳銷組織因此應運而生。北京一個反傳銷協會近日發布傳銷地圖，顯示傳銷組織為患神州。協會發起人李旭直指每年救助約二千人脫離傳銷組織，但由於協會欠缺收益，加上遭受傳銷組織攻擊，令反傳銷之路舉步維艱。內地傳媒報道，反傳銷協會近日發布地圖，顯示內地基本上都受非法傳銷的侵害，而廣東、江蘇、上海等十一個省市更是重災區。李旭表示，前幾年非法傳銷主要集中在南方，但目前中部地區、華北、東北都已氾濫成災。「級別愈高更愈接近騙局的真相！」協會發起人李旭表示，自己○四年曾加入傳銷組織，更不惜與家人翻臉，把胞姐拉入局，「毀掉她的家庭」，自他在組織內升上高階級別後，開始懷疑傳銷發財夢。李旭上網搜索傳銷原理後，赫然驚醒，遂成立反傳銷協會，希望救更多的人。此外，每當協會義工外出解救傳銷人員時，要在傳銷組織上課及活動的必經之路蹲守多天，有時更會徒勞無功，更有隨時被傳銷組織襲擊的危機。如要去外地解救，義工只收取委託人二千至三千元（人民幣．下同）車馬費，義工每月收入難以養家。李旭指成立協會以來，已有不少資歷深的義工自立門戶，更在網上掛上「資深反傳專家」稱號，隨意定下銀碼收費，令他大感無奈。另有反傳銷組織更開價二萬元才願救人，甚至武力手段闖入傳銷組織，遭受輿論備受批評，亦讓求助者失去信心。
