GUANGZHOU, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- China's railway authorities are gearing up for a real-name ticket selling system to stop ticket scalping during the upcoming Spring Festival traffic rush. The pilot system announced Friday requires passengers to show their ID cards or other identification documents when purchasing train tickets at 37 stations in the southern Guangdong and Hunan provinces, and also the southwestern province of Sichuan. Millions of migrant workers from inland provinces like Sichuan and Hunan work in Guangdong, known as China's "factory of the world." The system will take effect during the Spring Festival traffic peak season, from Jan. 30 to March 30. The Spring Festival, or China's Lunar New Year, falls on Feb. 14 this year. Passengers walk on the platform after their arrival in Hefei railway station in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province, Jan. 3, 2010. The railway service in Hefei railway station faced passenger peak as the new year holiday came to an end China's Spring Festival transport is seen as the world's largest annual human migration as tens of millions of migrant workers return home, often their only chances for family gatherings. The National Development and Reform Commission forecast some 210 million train trips over the holiday period, a rise of 9.5 percent from a year earlier. China's transport authorities have long been fighting against scalpers, who were blamed for worsening the ticket shortage problem by stockpiling tickets and reselling them at higher prices. "I've been working in Guangzhou for years. During each Spring Festival, I had to pay scalplers almost double the price for a ticket back home," said a migrant worker from Hunan. "And the risk of buying fake tickets was always there," he said. Shi Yanhai, a migrant worker from Sichuan, said she hadn't been back home for five years because it was too hard to buy a train ticket during the traffic peak. "Hopefully I'll be able to buy a ticket this year after the real-name system takes effect," she said. Nearly 80 percent respondents believed that the new system would help stop ticket scalping and make tickets purchasing easier during the holiday, according to an online survey by sohu.com, one of China's major internet portals. Although welcomed by the majority, the new ticket selling system is faced with challenges. Some said the new rule might make train travel more complicated. "I now only need to tell the ticket seller the date and destination of my trip. But after the system is effective, I have to show my ID card. That will make the queue longer!" said Zuo Xiaoyan, a migrant worker from Hunan, when queuing at Guangzhou railw
BEIJING, Dec. 26 -- European fashion retailers are accelerating business expansion in China thanks to the nation's increasing number of fashion-conscious consumers. Two companies that opened new outlets in China at a rapid pace this year included Sweden's H&M and Spain's Zara, both retailers of clothing and accessories for adults and youth. H&M is ending this year with a total of 13 new stores, raising the company portfolio in China to 27 outlets, while Zara, opened 33 new stores in China, winding down the year with 60 in total. "In China, new store openings have more than doubled due to strong domestic consumption, which has not been affected by the global financial downturn," said Wu Shuang, public relations manager of H&M China. Globally, H&M store openings are up between 10 percent and 15 percent in 2009, said Wu. "More H&M stores will be set up in China next year, especially in the second-tier cities," he said. H&M, Europe's second largest fast-fashion retailer, entered the Hong Kong and Shanghai markets in 2007 and later expanded its business to second-tier cities like Hangzhou and Ningbo of Zhejiang province. Back in August, H&M sales in Spain, the US and France were down 11 percent over July sales, the fourth consecutive monthly drop. In 2008, average sales revenue at H&M stores in the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong was up 23 percent to 59 million yuan, while globally average store sales was 48 million yuan. "We are expecting favorable sales volume in China this year," said Wu, while declining to elaborate further. Strong sales numbers were also recorded at Zara, the leading fast-fashion retailer in Europe. "The Chinese market is attractive with its soaring consumer spending power," a Zara promotion executive said on condition of anonymity. Chinese consumers can expect to see more Zara 'fast fashion' stores in the future," he said. Fast fashion is a term used to describe fashion trends that are manufactured quickly in smaller batches to keep inventories down and allow mainstream consumers to take advantage of current clothing styles at lower prices. This type of quick manufacturing methodology is preferred by large retailers like H&M, Forever 21 and Zara, according to online apparel industry directory, Apparel Search. This access to the latest clothing styles is popular with white-collar consumers in China. "I have been waiting for 30 minutes to try on several pieces of clothing, but the wait doesn't matter. I love to get everything here, and the prices are acceptable," said Liu Dan, a woman in her 20s shopping at one of Zara's Beijing stores. Liu, who works in the public relations department at an international company, said she is also a regular patron of H&M in Beijing. Both H&M and Zara stores are often crowded with local consumers, especially on the weekends.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in China on Sunday night for a four-day visit to the world's most populous country. The visit by the leader of the largest developed country to the biggest developing one has roused great interest among observers as China-U.S. relationship has always been one of the most important and complicated bilateral ties in the world. During the first leg of his Asian tour in Japan, Obama said the United States welcomes China's appearance on the world stage, and does not seek to contain China. He said that "the rise of a strong and prosperous China can be a source of strength for the community of nations," striking a positive keynote for his forthcoming China visit. His Chinese counterpart President Hu Jintao has also said that China-U.S. relations have significance and influence far beyond their bilateral ties, and a sound Sino-U.S. relationship is not only in the fundamental interests of the two nations and peoples, but also conducive to peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region and the world at large. China has always maintained that, as the biggest developing and the developed countries, China and the United States share broad common interests on the vital issues of peace and development, and shoulder great responsibilities. During a media interview before his Asia tour, Obama said "on critical issues, whether climate change, economic recovery, nuclear non-proliferation, it's very hard to see how we succeed or China succeeds in our respective goals without working together." The remarks, however, also hinted at the difficulty of bilateral cooperation on thorny issues. For instance, the trade spats between the two countries have recently flared up, with the U.S. government imposing anti-dumping duties on imports of poultry, tires and steel pipes from China. China criticized the measures as protectionist. The two countries are also at odds on the issue of climate change. As the world's two largest green-house gas emitters, China and the U.S. have both pledged commitments, but their different status in economic development and interpretation of the principle of "differentiated responsibilities" have made substantial consensus difficult. However, the Obama administration has repeatedly indicated that the two sides would not "allow any single issue to detract from our broader overall relationship," which is too important to go astray. The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a major U.S. think tank, said in a report, "U.S.-China partnership is indispensable for addressing many of the main challenges of the 21st century ... The premise for U.S.-China relations going forward must be a shared commitment to working together to promote the global good." To share significant global responsibilities, China and the United States should view and handle their bilateral ties from a strategic and overall perspective. Both sides should promote dialogue, expand cooperation, respect each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, and take care of each other's core interests. Obama once quoted a famous ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius to underscore the importance of resolving disagreements between the two nations through talks. "A trail through the mountains, if used, becomes a path in a short time, but, if unused, becomes blocked by grass in an equally short time," he said. It is the shared hope that both sides could blaze a path towards the future, so as not to let the "grass" of suspicion and difference block the way. China also hopes Obama's visit will leave fresh and impressive footprints on this path. The United States has changed its China policy from isolation, containment, to engagement and today's relationship of positive and comprehensive cooperation. This represents a profound change in the world arena. As far as both countries keep to the right orientation of the development of bilateral ties, enhance mutual trust, expand cooperation and take care of each other's key interests, they will ensure the steady development of bilateral ties and contribute further to world peace, stability and prosperity.
SHANGHAI, Nov.16 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama said here Monday the United States has a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship with China. Obama made the remarks during a dialogue with Chinese youth in China's economic hub Shanghai. U.S. President Barack Obama gestures as he delivers a speech at a dialogue with Chinese youth at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum during his four-day state visit to China, Nov. 16, 2009."Today we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time: economic revocery, development of clean energy, stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the surge of climate change, the promotion of peace and security in Asia and around theglobe," he said. Obama arrived in Shanghai late on Sunday and met city officials Monday morning before his meeting with young Chinese. He will head to Beijing Monday afternoon.
