And Canada's Plasco Energy Group Inc. and Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group Co (BESG) also signed a MOU to establish facilities in Beijing to convert waste to clean energy.O'Brien noted that Plasco's signing MOU with BESG exceeded his expectation, and he was impressed by the quick research speed and by their ability to sign the document during this visit. He said it was "a present and a surprise," and "a good achievement for our trip.""It underscores the importance of having government and industry working together, to create a better bond between the city of Beijing and the city of Ottawa," he added.Talking about the MOU in tourism, O'Brien said: "Rideau Canal in Ottawa, which is built in 1826-1832, is really worthwell. ( Tourists coming here) will feel the warmth of 900,000 warm Canadian hearts, warm Ottawa hearts. We are going to promote the Great Wall as well, which I had the honor and distinguish pleasure to go and visit this time."He also said that China had set Canada, where has a lot of places worth to see besides Ottawa, such as the mountains, the west coast, and the sea villages on the east coast, as the destination for tourists. "I am hoping that more Chinese to take this opportunity to move over to see how we live in Canada."In Shenzhen, O'Brien visited Huawei Technologies' research and development plant, welcoming it to invest in Ottawa. "Ottawa is a good place to do business. We have wonderfully clean and safe environment, with half of our population received college education or greater.

And he also warmly welcomed other Chinese companies to establish research and development facilities in Ottawa."Due to the warm of the reception and the success we enjoyed during the trip, vast majority of our counselors and the citizens of Ottawa were very happy (with the achievement), and gave very positive comments on it," he said.He also said: "I think everybody on this trip had their eyes opened on the size of the market in China, found the opportunities to follow up, and the pace of being able to capture market opportunities.""In order to create trade and opportunities, you must have communications and trusts. Every long and wonderful journey starts with a single step. I would like to encourage our clean technique companies to begin this step," he added.O'Brien believed that the entire developing world was one third of the world economy 15 years ago. And now, Asia is half of the world economy, and will be 65 percent of that after 10 to 15 years. "We hope to participate in its economic development, especially to play a role in supporting the market growth in both China and India.""Fast forward to 2010, this is a brand new China. I am confident that there will be more mutually beneficial business arrangements. Already China has invested 10 billion U. S. dollars in the last 18 months in Canada in oil and minerals. I perceive this as the beginning of another series of cross fertilizations between our economies, and between our cultures. And I came away from the trip with great optimism for the future," he concluded.

BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhua) -- China's Health Ministry on Monday vowed to ban smoking in all its offices in four months, part of an arduous campaign to curb public smoking around the country.Yang Qing, director with the ministry's community health department, told reporters that hospitals, clinics and other medical institutes nationwide should follow suit to impose strict smoking ban by 2011."No Smoking" signs will be placed in the ministry's conference rooms, lavatories, car parks and stairways while a designated smoking area will be set up outside the office building, the official said.He said the ministry also bans its employees from giving tobacco as gifts -- a rooted tradition in China's office culture. Employees who break the ban will be punished, while those who quit smoking in a year can expect cash rewards.Though Yang did not elaborate how hospitals and clinics under the ministry's supervision should go tobacco-free, it is widely believed that similar policies will be imposed soon among the country's medical institutes.Data from the ministry show China has more than 350 million smokers, mostly men influenced by a macho culture. Doctors with smoking habit have become a prime target of China's tobacco control campaign.Yang said smoking should be banned in all public venues, workplaces and public transport vehicles by 2011, according to the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which took effect in 2005.It was signed by the Chinese government in 2003 and ratified by the country's top legislature in 2005. National and local governments ramped up anti-smoking campaigns in recent years, but these were not effective as expected because no strict laws are in place, observers said.Yang said the ministry is now coordinating with the country's lawmakers to push for such legislation.

BEIJING, April 13 (Xinhua) -- China's housing authorities on Monday urged local governments to put more efforts into the building of low-income housing.The national goal for 2010 is to build 3 million apartments for low-income families, renovate 2.8 million in urban shantytown areas, and expand renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas, an unidentified official with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) told a teleconference.The ministry urged governments at all levels to strictly implement preferential policies in land provision, funding, tax reduction and credit support for low-income housing projects, to ensure the realization of the annual construction goals.MOHURD also called for efforts to curb the precipitous rise of housing prices in some cities by increasing the supply of small and medium-sized houses and to rein in the speculation on rising house prices.

CHENGDU, May 29 (Xinhua) -- China Saturday started construction of a center in southwestern China's Sichuan Province to train giant pandas born in captivity to live in the wild.The center is located at Majiagou of Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, said Zhang Zhihe, head of the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base and founder of the center.The center covers an area of 134.87 hectares and will cost 160 million yuan (23.5 million U.S. dollars).After the center is completed, the breeding and research base will put 40 to 50 giant pandas raised in captivity into the center for training and research, according to Zhang.The center will cooperate with the Chengdu breeding and research base, the Wolong Giant Panda Conservation Base, the Dujiangyan Disease Control and Prevention Center for Giant Pandas and the Shaanxi Rescue Center for Endangered Animals.In the experimental zone of the center being built, the giant pandas will be trained to reduce their dependency on humans. But they will still live in cages.After five to 10 years training in the experimental zone, the giant pandas that perform well will be introduced into the "half-natural" zone.In the following five to 10 years, the pandas there will live in tree holes or caves and forage for food. But they will still receive frequent checkups and participate in artificial breeding.Then, only one or two of the giant pandas will have the chance to spend another five to 10 years in a nearly "natural" zone with little human contact. Then they will be released into the nearby giant panda natural reserve, Zhang said.Giant pandas are the world's most endangered species. Some 1,590 panda live in the wild and over 300 pandas are in captivity in China, Zhang said.China started a giant panda training project in 2003 to teach the animals to live in the wild. But the project suffered a major setback when Xiang Xiang, a five-year-old male panda, was found dead in a remote part of the Wolong Nature Reserve in February 2007.Xiang Xiang was released into the wild in April 2006 after nearly three years of training.
