Dear all,

It has always been our desire, that regional forums should preferably have representation by local forumers, and even more so on the moderator level. Seven months since the creation of the Zhonghua forums, and we feel this might be the time to hand the baton over to such a person. Or even persons, because we may select two new mods if need be.

The moderators have been delibrating over the issue, and I am now opening this discussion up to our forumers here. We are now calling for nominations for the modship of the entire Zhonghua forums, which may be followed by a voting process subsequently. In your nominations, please clearly state the reasons for your nomination, or else they will not mean much to us. The chief purpose of this exercise is still to gather public feedback and to gauge public sentiment with regards to the above.

Do take note, also, that the popular vote here is but one contributing factor to the eventual selection of the new moderator(s). A forumer receiving the most nominations and/or votes here, hence, does not guarantee him the role. The final decision will still require approval and consent from the team of moderators.

Let the nominations come in, and good luck! :)

My two cents:
I nominate HkSkyline &Huaiwei as general moderators of Da Zhonghua Luntan 大中華論壇/大中华论坛 .

For each section:
Neon as a moderator for Mainland China forum;
HkSkyline for Hongkong forum ;
AsIaBoYz for Macau forum;
Isan for Taiwan forum.

I was contacted by a 2 taiwanese board members and 1 korean board member last month regarding running for moderator for taiwanese board. Thus, I feel there is a need for me to clearify my situation.

Yes, I might have been one of the original taiwanese board forumers who post relatively often at times. But, I would have to turn down this nomination due to the fact that I do not see myself "fit" for the task. I am very occupied by my own career. I am greatful that SCC has provided me with many joyful moments and relaxation through out the years. In addition, I am happy to have met many new friends here. And that's about it.

As far as taiwanese board is concerned, I too, see "Isan" as a qualify candidate for moderating Taiwan forum and highly recommand him for the lead based on his effort and the consistancy of the posts. However, if not, Pangu is just as good.

相信大家也注意到了,初步设想是除了4个construction thread以外,另设一个上海专题贴,一个深广专题贴,和3个区域专题贴(东北华北,东南,和中西部),以高质量的图片为主,我整理了一些旧有的帖子,自己也找了一些图,只弄出来这么多东西,发现原来大陆论坛里没有几个图片帖子,大家在国际区贴图很积极,自己的地盘上就不那么积极。希望大家多多贴图,我直接置顶就好了,免得我自己一个人在唱单簧。有什么建议,也尽管提

这只是一个初步的意见征集,现在中国大陆坛友越来越多,但是因为大中华论坛的关系,总给人一种感觉大陆论坛是一个二级论坛。其实大中华论坛完全是一个为了解决政治问题的怪胎。没有很大的实用意义。茶馆几乎都是我们用,我们也很少去港台论坛发贴。反之也一样。我们不如抛开政治包袱,大陆港台论坛都变成一级论坛,这样对论坛的发展大有好处。另外港澳与大陆有不少分别,分出来也无可厚非。即使分出来以后,因为港澳都是特区,也不代表台湾是独立国家。

想听听大家想法线。

there are many chinese cities threads in the cityscape forum, you guys really did a great job presenting Chinese cities to the world, but may i ask you to post those same threads in Chinese Mainland Forums as well, so when there are enough photo threads we can ask for a Photo Section in CMF.

and lately there have been many Chinese threads in our forum, let's not forget there are many forumers who are interested in skyscrapers going up in China, who cannot read Chinese at all. So we still need to have a fair number of English threads as well. It's will be much easier for them to participate in discussions.

这样是论坛礼貌,也方便其它坛友浏览

无关话题一发就是一堆,占用了大量版面,影响了其它坛友

自己发的东西都没人看,论坛上其它网友对你发帖的意见,难道还不明显吗?还不“知所进退”吗?

Hong Kong and Chinese officials have signed a new taxation agreement that is intended to make Hong Kong more attractive as an offshore base for investments in mainland China.

The pact, signed Monday, will reduce the rates of tax paid by Hong Kong-based firms and individuals on investment income -- including dividends, interest, royalties and capital gains -- they earn from companies in mainland China.

The new arrangement is an extension of the existing system for avoiding double taxation, in place since 1998, which covers taxes on profits and wages

China racing ahead with infrastructure development

Nitin Gokhale

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 (Lanzhou City):

China is the fastest growing economy in the world and the government appears to be giving special attention to infrastructure development.

For instance, in the city of Lanzhou, which is the capital of central China's Gansu province, is trying to catch up with the rest of the country's more developed areas.

In fact, one of the focus areas for the government in the region is infrastructure development, which is China's policy to draw backward regions into the mainstream.

In the last five years, more than 24,000 km of four-lane super-express ways have been built across the country.

And even remote provinces like Gansu are now a focus of an intensive road-building programme.

However, officials say that this is just the beginning

China today has 41,000 km of world-class highways. In the next five years, it will add another 25,000 km.

By 2020, the target is to have over 85,000 km of high-class roads, second only to the US. Moreover, at present the total investment in these projects is around $240.9 billion.

The "develop Western China" strategy evokes memories of Mao's Great Leap Forward campaign of the late 1950s.

Environmental degradation

However, the development is racing ahead with complete disregard for the environment, as nearly 80,000 people have been displaced and 25,000 hectares of land has been degraded.

Also, the feverish construction and increasing numbers of factories and cars have given rise to growing air and water pollution.

Vast grasslands are facing uncontrolled grazing and there are now chronic water shortages in Xining and Naqu counties.

The region, which includes 12 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, is home to nearly 30 per cent of the country's total population and has been left behind in development.

Yet expressways are being built, and smaller provincial towns like Lanzhou and Lhasa are trying to replicate the skyline of Shanghai.

Moreover, the streets are jammed with Audis, Buicks and Volkswagens, and foreign direct investments worth $10 billion have has apparently come to west China in the past five years.

Over the last five years, our GDP growth has been hovering around 11 per cent. We are determined to catch up with the rest of the developed parts of the country. Over the past five years, the government has invested about $55.42 billion as special subsidies for the development of the western region," said Vice Party Secretary, Ganna Tibetan prefecture.

Even beyond the cityscape, the rural areas are being transformed rapidly as nomads are being resettled in semi-permanent houses.

In fact, many are migrating to the city in search of a better life and increasing their average per capita income from a modest $240 a month to at least $400 like their more prosperous counterparts in southern and eastern China.

China's $250B railway plans open to foreigners
Aug. 21, 2006. 10:37 AM
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — China will introduce new legislation and other measures to attract foreign and domestic investment in the country's $250-billion-US railway expansion, a newspaper reported Monday.

The Ministry of Railways plans to allow investors greater control over the pricing of ticket and freight charges, the China Daily quoted ministry spokesman Wang Yongping as saying.

Wang said the government would also introduce greater transparency in the railway construction and transport industry to attract investment, the report said.

The ministry is drafting new regulations on railway construction, passenger travel and freight it hopes will help safeguard private interests, it also said.

But Wang said the ministry will continue to retain complete control over railway network schedules.

"Keeping the railway network as a whole and centralizing timetables will be the prerequisite and base for our reforms," Wang said.

Wang said the ministry has so far promoted 43 projects to investors — including passenger lines connecting provincial capitals.

The government plans to expand the rail system to 100,000 kilometres by 2020, from the 73,000 kilometres in service at the end of 2003.

China said in 2004 its massive railways will start allowing private investment, ending the state's monopoly in the industry to help finance its expansion.

The changes are part of broad reforms for the rail, posts and road transport systems aimed at introducing greater competition and efficiency into those industries.

China's technology imports up 56.5 percent
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2006-08-09 11:00

China signed almost 6,400 technology import contracts worth 14.83 billion U.S. dollars in the first seven months of 2006, up 56.5 percent year on year, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

Technological transfer fees included in the contracts were valued at 9.12 billion U.S. dollars, according to a MoC report quoted by Xinhua-run Shanghai Securities News Tuesday.

The European Union is still the number one technology exporter to China, followed by Japan and the United States, according to the report.

China signed 6.26 billion U.S. dollars worth of technology import contracts with the EU in the first seven months, a rise of 37.4 percent.

Licensing of "proprietary technology" grew 62.2 percent year on year to 4.76 billion U.S dollars.

During the 10th Five-Year Plan period (2001-2005), China imported advanced technology worth 70 billion U.S. dollars, according to sources with the Ministry of Commerce.

These technology imports have spurred a remarkable improvement in China's technological level and its production capacity, particularly in the power, metallurgy and petrochemical industries.

HK, Guangdong make progress on bridge project
(China Daily)
Updated: 2006-08-07 13:02

South China's Guangdong Province and Hong Kong are making progress on co-operative infrastructure projects during the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-10) period.

"An important breakthrough has been made on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project," Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang told reporters at a news briefing after the ninth Guangdong-Hong Kong Joint Co-operation Conference in Guangzhou.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which will be 30 kilometres long, is seen as an important link to further strengthen economic and trade and social ties in the Pearl River Delta region.

As a coastal city in western Guangdong, Zhuhai borders Macao to the south.

On the issue of boundary crossing facilities (BCFs) such as immigration and customs inspections on the bridge, the three sides have agreed to adopt the method of "separate points for BCFs."

"At the same time, study into financial arrangements is ongoing," Tsang said.

The China Highway Planning and Design Institute will be commissioned to study options for boundary facilities.

"Once the plans have been confirmed and the central government has given approval, construction will begin immediately."

To promote aviation development in Zhuhai and Hong Kong, Tsang said a co-operative project between Hong Kong Airport Authority and Zhuhai Airport has been approved by the central government.

Management of Zhuhai Airport will be handed over shortly, said Tsang, adding it was a win-win project.

"Hong Kong's public transportation facilities, including its airport and railway, are regarded as some of the best in the world. And I think that the takeover of Zhuhai Airport will further strengthen Hong Kong's leading position in terms of public transportation development," Tsang told reporters.

Meanwhile, sources with the Zhuhai municipal government said that Hong Kong and Guangdong would form a joint venture company to operate the airport.

Registered capital will be up to 360 million yuan (US$45 million), of which 55 per cent is from Hong Kong and the rest from Guangdong.

It is the first time that overseas capital is allowed to manage an airport on the Chinese mainland.

In road development, Guangdong and Hong Kong are working towards commissioning the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor before July next year.

According to Tsang, the Hong Kong section of the corridor was completed by the end of last year.

"We will also strive to complete the evaluation and planning study of the corridor from Shenzhen's Liantang to Hong Kong's Heung Yuen Wai Control Point as soon as possible," said Huang Huahua, governor of Guangdong Province.

In terms of railway development, both sides will build the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Railway in the next five years. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen section started construction last December and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong section is undergoing further planning and evaluation, according to Huang.

China's ship exports steam ahead

BEIJING - China exported 357,964 ships valued at at total US$3.4 billion during the first half of 2006, a jump of 66.8% year-on-year. By contrast, China exported 215,761 ships valued at $4.7 billion in 2005. Ship exports amounted to the equivalent of an average monthly income of more than $500 million by value, presenting a strong momentum of growth, according to Chinese customs statistics.

At the same time, the country imported 2,393 ships valued at $250 million, an increase of 36%. The ship trade surplus reached $3.15 billion.

Three models of ships dominated China's exports in the first six months of this year: power container vessels with a capacity of less than 6,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) whose export value totaling $736 million; power bulk-good vessels with a capacity of less than 150,000 tonnes, whose export value totaled $678 million; and oil-products tankers with a capacity of less than 100,000 tonnes, whose export value totaled $519 million. Total export value of the three models reached $1.933 billion, accounting for 56.9% of the country's total export of ships.

China also exported other models of ships, including power bulk-good ships with a carriage of 150,000-300,000 tonnes, other non-power models of cargo ships and cargo-passenger ships, multi-purpose power ships, crude-oil tankers with a carriage of less than 150,000 tonnes, and non-navigation-type ships such as lighting ships, fire ships and lifting ships. Export of these ship types each exceeded $100 million.

China exported ships to 112 countries and regions in the first half of this year. Exports to Germany amounted to $514 million, and to Singapore $466 million. Other major markets included Hong Kong, the Marshall Islands, Malta, Australia, Japan, Panama and Britain, each with an export value exceeding $100 million.

In the first half of this year, China had 484 enterprises exporting ships, including the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co Ltd, which ranked first with $428 million. Other major Chinese ship exporters included the Foreign Economy and Technological Cooperation Co of the China Changjiang National Shipping Group, the Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co Ltd, the Guangzhou Shipyard International Co Ltd, the Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co Ltd, and the Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co Ltd.

In the first half, the country imported 10 power bulk-goods ships with carriage capacity of less than 150,000 tonnes, valued at $127 million. These accounted for 50% of the country's total ship imports. Major ship models imported included mud diggers, power fishing ships, fish-processing ships, ships for unloading and their floating structures, and liquefied-petroleum-gas vessels with carriage capacity of less than 20,000 cubic meters.

China imported ships from 29 countries and regions, including Japan, South Korea, Croatia, Germany, Spain and Romania.

In January-June, China had 163 enterprises importing ships. Among them, eight had imports exceeding $10 million. The top eight's imports totaled $189 million, accounting for 76.9% of the country's total. The top three importers were COSCO international Trade Co ($46.80 million), the China Shipping International Trade Co Ltd ($35.81 million), and the China Communications Import and Export Corp ($22.75 million).

The main importers were all state-owned enterprises, with total imports amounting to $200 million, accounting for 81.8% of the total, up 53.1% year on year. Imports of non-governmental and foreign-funded enterprises accounted for 15.5% and 2.7% of China's total ship imports, respectively.

Meanwhile, officials said China needs to expand its supertanker fleet drastically to safeguard its oil supplies.

China is now the world's second-largest crude-oil importer, and imports account for 43% of its consumption. But more than 90% of its oil imports are currently transported by foreign oil tankers, according to a report by the Shanghai Securities News. The setup is both economically and strategically unsound, it said.

China has begun to build a strategic petroleum reserve, but a strategic transport system is equally important, the newspaper said.

Li Lianzhong, an official with the Central Policy Research Institution, said, "To safeguard the security of national oil supplies, at least 50% of crude imports must be transported by our own supertankers."

Citing Japan as an example, he said Japanese ship owners have more than 20 million tonnes of supertanker capacity, equal to 80% of their annual oil imports.

According to the report, Chinese authorities are aware of the issue and will draft a preliminary plan after consulting major oil and shipping companies. The plan calls for a 75-million-tonne-capacity Chinese supertanker fleet by 2010, which will be expanded to 130 million tonnes by 2020.

China is the world's third-largest shipbuilding country and faces no particular technical difficulties in building supertankers, or very large crude carriers (VLCCs). Chinese shipping companies are already expanding their supertanker fleets. China Shipping Group, a leading shipping company, recently ordered four VLCCs from the Dalian shipyard in northeastern China.

DNV, the Norwegian classification agency, said in its report that Chinese shipping companies will order at least 50 VLCCs in the next five to six years. Some orders have already been placed with shipyards in Japan and China.

SMIC confirms Wuhan 12-inch fab construction

Claire Sung, Taipei; Esther Lam, DigiTimes.com [Monday 26 June 2006]

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) will sign a fab construction contract with the Wuhan city government (Hubei province, China) and the pure-play foundry will increase its monthly 12-inch wafer capacity by 25,000 wafers after the completion of construction in 2007, according to company officials.

SMIC reportedly gained US$3 billion in investment aid from the Wuhan government for the new fab construction. Company CEO Richard Chang was quoted by a recent Reuters report as saying that the company may rent the plant from the government during the first few years of operation. The company officials said that the investment deal would be signed this week.

The company officials confirmed the investment in Wuhan and indicated that construction should be completed in 2007. The Reuters report cited Chang as saying that construction will start this year. Industry sources suggested that SMIC may also produce solar cells at the new fab as the production base is close to a silicon mine and it may also acquire scrap wafers from neighboring companies in the science park.

In related news, SMIC is considering spinning off its Shanghai fabs and listing them on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) in the A share category, according to industry sources. As a company can only list as an A share after reporting three straight years of profits, the sources suggested that the listing plan may not materialize until 2009, at the earliest.

Jinlong Industrial to set up China's largest solar cell production base in Shanghai

Compiled from outside sources and Nuying Huang, Taipei; Adam Hwang, DigiTimes.com [Wednesday 31 May 2006]

China-based Jinlong Industrial Group, the world's largest producer of monocrystalline silicon and China's largest supplier of solar silicon wafers, will establish a solar energy industrial park south of Shanghai with an estimated total investment of 2.064 billion yuan (US$258 million) over five years, according to the Chinese-language website Sina.com.

The industrial park will be an integrated production base for solar cells and the largest of its kind in China. A 33.3-hectare site will produce solar silicon ingots, slice ingots into wafers, assemble solar cell modules and make solar cells with annual capacity of 200MWp (megawatts-peak). A national-level technology R&D center for solar energy will be located on another 20 hectare site.

The local government will also reserve a 33.3-hectare site for Jinlong to develop as an R&D and production base for solar energy-related products.

Jinlong's production base of monocrystalline silicon and solar silicon wafers is at its headquarters in Hebei Province, northern China. Currently, Jinlong produces 1,500 metric tons of monocrystalline silicon a year, 70% of which is exported for a global market share of about 25%.

Jinlong extended its production to solar cells through a joint venture with an Australian company in May 2005. With a total investment of 750 million yuan (US$91.6 million), the joint venture began in June of 2005 with the establishment of four solar cell production lines with a total annual capacity of 180MWp over three years.

Jinlong imports an average of 1,000 metric tons of polycrystalline silicon a year from the US and Japan for its production of monocrystalline silicon, an amount insufficient to supply its solar cell production lines. The Shanghai city government plans to invest 3.0 billion yuan (US$375 million) to set up a polycrystalline silicon production base near the solar cell industrial park with an annual capacity of 4,000 metric tons to supply the park's needs.

Commerce minister unveils 8 auto export zones
By Gong Zhengzheng (China Daily)
Updated: 2006-08-18 07:04

Commerce Minister Bo Xilai yesterday named eight cities as China's first batch of automobile export zones.

At a ceremony in Beijing attended by Vice-Premier Wu Yi, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing municipalities, as well as Changchun in Jilin Province, Wuhan in Hubei Province, Xiamen in Fujian Province, Wuhu in Anhui Province, and Taizhou in Zhejiang Province were named as the first eight zones.

The ministry and the National Development and Reform Commission also named 160 vehicle and spare parts manufacturers from these cities as the first batch of national automobile and spare parts exporting enterprises.

Among these firms, 61 are foreign-funded companies, according to the ministry.

The long-awaited move comes amid the rapid growth of China's exports of vehicles and spare parts.

However, the industry's export volume remains small and domestic companies have been engaged in bitter overseas price wars.

Bo said that industry regulators would soon issue measures to help boost the nation's vehicle and spare part exports, and put the market in order.

"Expanding the exports of vehicles and spare parts, especially our own brands and those with our own intellectual property rights, is the only way to enhance our auto industry's international competitiveness and enable China to turn from a major auto-making nation into a strong one," Bo said.

The auto sector should fully utilize markets and resources at home and abroad, and domestic manufacturers should become internationally competitive, he added.

China's vehicle and spare parts exports were worth US$10.9 billion last year, up 34 per cent from 2004.

In addition, the nation's vehicle exports more than doubled to 173,000 units in 2005, surpassing vehicle imports for the first time.

However, vehicle and spare part exports only accounted for 7.3 per cent of total output value of China's auto sector. In contrast, more than 40 per cent of vehicles made in Germany, Japan and South Korea are exported.

China is currently the world's fourth-biggest auto-making nation after the United States, Japan and Germany. It produced 5.71 million vehicles last year and output is expected to reach 7 million this year. Meanwhile, the nation has more than 5,800 vehicle and spare parts manufacturers.

Bo said China's vehicle and spare part exporters face major risks due to a host of problems, such as domestic producers' weak independent development capabilities, stricter foreign environmental and safety standards, and a lack of shipping capacity. Domestic automakers mainly sell buses, trucks and low-end cars in overseas markets.

Also yesterday, 17 of the automakers named by the minister agreed to form 15-year strategic alliances with China Ocean Shipping Group and China Export & Credit Insurance Corp to expand their shipping capacity and avoid export credit risks.

Zhu Yanfeng, general manager of First Automotive Works Corp (FAW), a partner of Volkswagen and Toyota, said the company would step up its efforts to improve its independent development capabilities and branch out into overseas markets.

"We will extend sales networks, improve services and focus on our own-brand vehicles in the overseas market to build up a new global image for Chinese-made vehicles," Zhu said.

He stressed that Changhcun-based FAW would also respect intellectual property rights.

FAW's own-brand line-up includes trucks, buses, mini vans and cars.

HSBC plans to increase mainland jobs by 2,000
2006-08-14 19:20:51 Xinhua English

BEIJING, Aug 15 -- The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp will add 2,000 jobs on the Chinese mainland as its business operations expand under freer trade rules, the banking giant said yesterday.

HSBC will hire 1,000 new staff members annually in 2006 and 2007 as part of its expanding investment in its network and personnel, Richard Yorke, chief executive officer of HSBC in China, said yesterday in Shanghai.

HSBC currently employs more than 2,400 people on the mainland, among which more than 95 percent were recruited locally.

The banking giant expects to be operating more than 30 outlets on the mainland by the end of this year, up from its present 24, Yorke said.

The lender will focus on Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Guangdong in developing personal financial services to better tap demand from local residents. The country is set to fully open its banking sector at the end of this year under its commitments to the World Trade Organization.

"We look forward to the full market opening by the end of this year and have made further investment in people and network," Yorke said. "The year 2007 will be an important year for our retail banking business, as we will be permitted to expand our renminbi services to domestic individuals. We are paving the way for this to be an important area of HSBC's business in China's mainland."

Banks from home and overseas are vying for the US$1.9 trillion in household savings in the mainland whose economy expanded 10.9 percent in the first half of this year.

HSBC is also interested in the mainland's securities market but declined to provide details.

"Our overall objective is to be a 'universal bank' in the mainland, where we already have a presence in commercial banking, insurance and asset management," Yorke said.

(NYSE: STP), one of the world's leading manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) cells, recently announced that it will establish manufacturing and R&D facilities in Caohejing Hi-tech Park, Shanghai. The facilities are expected to begin operations in early 2008.

"Our new facilities in Caohejing Hi-tech Park will provide us with another site to expand our production capacity, and develop new solar technologies and value-added PV solutions," said Dr. Shi Suntech's Chairman and CEO. "We believe that the proximity to central Shanghai will also help us to continue to attract highly qualified staff."

The Company anticipates that the manufacturing and R&D facilities will cost approximately $60 million to develop.

Suntech also recently opened a sales office in Shanghai as part of a strategy to develop sales in the domestic PV market.

"With Shanghai's recent initiative to install PV systems on 100,000 rooftops and a growing trend towards alternative energy solutions, we are confident that Shanghai will become an important PV market in China," added Dr. Shi.

Hynix, ST to raise $750M for Wuxi fab expansion
Posted : 17 Aug 2006

Hynix Semiconductor spokesman said the company plans to raise the funds by the end of June 2007, which will be used to ramp up memory wafer production lines in its Wuxi, China fab.

The joint venture company would receive funds from 19 Chinese-based financial institutions, including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the spokesman said.

The funds are part of a longer term project to push for investments totaling $2 billion for the Chinese subsidiary, according to the company.

Established in 2004 as a joint venture between Hynix and STMicroelectronics NV, Hynix-ST Semiconductor currently produces memory chips on 200mm diameter wafers. The investment will be used to expand 200mm wafer production capacity and set up a chip production line based on 300mm diameter wafers.

The spokesman added that Hynix-ST Semiconductor aims to ramp up its production capacity to 20,000 wafer starts per month units on the 200mm line by the end of 2006.

Why doesn't China have more sections on ssc like infrastructure and economy sections, so people could post important news.

people will just copy and paste news articles, it adds post counts, not meaningful discussions. you can read the news if you want to know about them.

Why there aren't any more China-related forums in SSC? For two reasons:

1. Not enough chinese.
2. The true name of these forums is (or should be) DSSC....DubaiSSC :)

Too little participation at the Chinese subforum. Most Chinese are in other Chinese speaking forums, that's the reason.

Please don't fill up threads with articles like that, noone is going to read through all those, there should be one or two articles in a thread followed by discussions about those articles.

I think if more Chinese got involved in the forums and there was some really good, informed discussion then more subforums would be added to the Chinese section. I'm really interested in things going on in China and would love to see a big, active Chinese section of SSC.

国家、民族就是这样形成的。再过两千年以前,我们浙江人的祖先也许更多是百越人。而汉族、满族之间早就你中有我,我中有你。当时宋蒙灭金,在关内的女真人在一夜之间成了汉人。北方汉人的非华夏血缘(匈奴、鲜卑、契丹、女真等等)早就大大超过了华夏基因。

所以只要认同中国,有必要分得这么清楚吗?

何况,清朝大大地拓展了中国的疆域,这是任何一个汉族王朝做不到的。

Cityscapes

P&C

Urban Talks and Infrastructure

Tea House

原来的中国区主页[http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=403]将变成留言板

按原计划Urban Talks and Infrastructure是要分设两个区的,现在只批准了一个区,大家看要不要将留言板的位置让给Urban Talks或Infrastructure中的一者?留言板放到tea house中置顶?
