BEIJING, Nov. 19 (Xinhuanet) --Chinese companies Thursday denied allegations by a Zimbabwe trade union that said Chinese construction firms had violated labor laws there by underpaying and abusing local staff.Ge Yizhong, deputy general manager of Zim Nantong Construction, which is currently operating in Zimbabwe, told the Global Times that local workers his company had hired were satisfied with their working conditions, including salaries."There is no ill-treatment of workers at my company. We have provided protective clothing to local workers and pay them according to the regulations set out by the local trade union," he said. "We have adjusted working hours to meet workers' demands. We have raised their pay twice since last year to counter the devaluation of the local currency."Commenting on the allegations against Chinese companies, Ge said competition may prompt local unions to make such allegations, as more Chinese companies are doing business in Africa.His defense comes after the Zimbabwe Construction and Allied Trades Workers' Union accused Chinese construction firms operating in Zimbabwe of underpaying workers, forcing them to work overtime without pay and not providing them with protective clothing and pension contributions, Newsday, a Zimbabwe-based newspaper, reported Wednesday."We would like to warn the Chinese contractors who are operating in Zimbabwe that if they do not follow the laid-down laws, the union is going to take strong action against them," the union's secretary-general, Muchapiwa Mazarura, was quoted by the paper as saying.The construction union also said that the deals that the government entered into with the Chinese should not be compensated by Zimbabwe "donating human resources," adding that inhuman treatment of workers should come to an end, the report said.The Affirmative Action Group, a Zimbabwean lobby group, recently wrote to the Harare Municipality asking local authorities to stop licensing foreigners, especially the Chinese, as they were not bringing any real business to the country, according to the report.The trade volume between China and Africa surged from billion in the early 1990s to a historic high of 6.8 billion in 2008 is expected to top the 2008 figure by end of the year, according to China's Ministry of Commerce.Direct investment from China to Africa grew from million in 2003 to .36 billion in 2009.With growing trade between China and African countries and a surge in Chinese businessmen investing in the continent, disputes between Chinese and local Africans are on the rise.In September, there were two cases involving gunmen in Zimbabwe robbing the sites of Chinese construction groups stationed in the country, resulting in property losses and injuries to Chinese nationals, according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Last month, Zambian police arrested two Chinese nationals who shot at 11 miners and one onlooker at the Chinese Collum Coal Mine in Zambia, the local Lusaka Times reported.Guo Wenchang, president of the Kenya-based China-Kenya Bicycle Manufacturing Company, told the Global Times that Chinese companies are generally welcomed by local Africans, as the Chinese help create jobs in the countries and boost local economies.Lei Xiaolei, a human resources manager for the Tanzania project office of the China Railway Jianchang Engineering Company, told the Global Times that due to an unfamiliarity with the local rules and culture, his company received dozens of labor-related lawsuits 10 years ago when his company began operating in Tanzania."Salaries are paid monthly in China, but here in Tanzania workers are paid every week. There was a lot of chaos concerning payments, but things are improved, as we have tailored our policy to fit the local rules," he said.Dong Baohua, a Shanghai-based lawyer specializing in labor law, told the Global Times that Chinese companies seeking investment in Africa should not be merely focused on making a profit, but also on understanding the local laws and how the local governments are functioning."Some companies falsely believe they can operate their businesses smoothly in Africa by simply building schools or making donations," Dong said."Though some local regulations may not be sound by themselves, understanding them would give Chinese companies a big edge in achieving success and assimilating into the local environment."

BEIJING, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) - China's urbanization would boost domestic demand by 30 trillion yuan (4.5 trillion U.S. dollars) by 2030, an official from a top think tank said Saturday.The country's urbanization expansion promises a huge potential in domestic demand, which will assure a stable economic development for China even if exports decline, Han Jun, vice director with the State Council's Development Research Center (SCDRC), said at a forum, adding that the urban migrants' demand for housing is likely to become the largest driving force for China's economic growth in the future.Additionally, Han noted that the core issue in China's urbanization is to allow farmers-turned-migrant workers to become permanent urban residents.In the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee's Proposal for Formulating the 12th Five-Year Program for China's Economic and Social Development (2011-2015), which was issued last month, authorities stressed that accelerating urbanization would be an important mission during the next five years.Data from the SCDRC indicates that China's urbanization rate hit 46 percent by the end of 2009, and will reach 63.6 percent by 2030, with the urban population standing at 930 million.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- A plenary session of the annual trade talks between China and the United States opened in Washington D.C. on Wednesday.Visiting Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan co-chairs the 21st Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Trade Representative Ron Kirk.

NANJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- A court in east China's Jiangsu Province sentenced a man to death and another to life in prison Friday for illegally raising up to 4 billion yuan (606 million U.S. dollars) in a fraudulent investment scheme.Another 11 suspects were given jail terms ranging from two-and-a-half to 10 years for collusion in the fraud, which caused losses of 650 million yuan (98 million dollars) to 14,822 investors, the Intermediate People's Court in the provincial capital, Nanjing, said in a statement.According to the statement, Sun Haiyu and Hu Zhen jointly set up a company, Nanjing Runzai Biology Co., Ltd. in January 2004 and began soliciting investments from the public in the name of planting glossy ganoderma, or reishi mushrooms, which are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine.The judge said the company exaggerated its profits in planting glossy ganoderma and fraudulently claimed that the investment was risk free.The duo, together with 11 accomplices, raised more than 4 billion yuan from April 2004 to July 2008.Sun was sentenced to death for the crime of illegal fund-raising by fraudulent means, while Hu was sentenced to life imprisonment.

LONDON, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- The British business sector was pleased at the successful visit this week of Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang which concluded on Wednesday.During the four-day visit, Li signed business agreements with an estimated value of more than 4 billion U.S. dollars with the British government."China is vital to the UK economy. China is now the world's largest goods exporter and the UK's largest goods export market outside the U.S. and EU. We are keen to realize the immense potential for deepening and broadening areas of commercial cooperation," said British Minister of State for Trade and Investment Lord Green during the visit.The British coalition government was faced with a near-record public spending deficit of 149 billion pounds (about 236.5 billion dollars) and has chosen to tackle it immediately with the deepest set of cuts to public spending since the Second World War.In such an economic climate, Vice Premier Li's visit to Britain brought welcome contracts but it also brought wider agreements that will bear fruit over a longer period, and that has been hailed as a great success.In an interview with Xinhua after Li's visit, Andy Scott, director international of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), hailed the visit's success, the achievements of the deal itself, and the longer-term prospects which were very positive.Commenting on the visit, and on the wider China-British relationship, he said, "in the long-term prospects are very positive. They are positive on the political front, they are positive on the business front. And from a political point of view I think it is very telling that this government here in the UK ... has made international trade investment one of the top priorities for Prime Minister David Cameron and right across his Cabinet."Scott said that Cameron's visit to China last November, when he headed the largest trade delegation from Britain to China and the largest ministerial delegation, was a sign of Britain's keenness to do business with China. Scott said he believed there were more ministerial visits planned."That's all extremely positive and I think it demonstrates that at a political level as well as at a business level, China is seen strategically as being a crucially important partner for the UK, and I think this visit -- this very successful visit this week -- will only further help to reinforce that relationship," he added.The headline-grabbing part of Li's visit, apart from the loan of the pandas, was the largest single deal announced this week, allowing the import of 40,000 Jaguar Landrover vehicles into the Chinese market.Scott hailed this as demonstrating "the continuing strengths and this continuing strengthening" of the Sino-British relationship.The monetary value of deals announced was important, but Scott stressed the importance of framework deals which were agreed upon during Li's visit."They weren't necessarily contracts that were being signed there and then, yesterday or today. They were setting the framework and they will themselves be providing further opportunities to develop on those frameworks," he said.In addition, he stressed "professional services, the retail sector, design, the creative area, and the whole engineering consultancy arena" where Britain has goods which China wants in its infrastructure development.Scott particularly welcomed Chinese investment into Britain, and hoped that it would continue the momentum achieved recently."We are increasingly seeing China now investing directly in UK companies and that we see as being very positive," he said.That was now "a further example of where the whole relationship with China is changing; it is not just about physical goods, it is about investment, it is about capital coming into the UK," he added.
