BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- It's supposed to be a time of family reunions, new year greetings and fireworks, but blizzards and accidents on Wednesday put a damper on the Chinese New Year.The country is experiencing the peak travel period with millions of people are eager to get away from tough jobs to go home for the most important Chinese holiday, which falls on Sunday. The mass movement of people is the largest human migration on the earth.In the southern Guangdong Province, China's business hub, about 100,000 migrant workers are expected to ride motorcycles to go home to neighboring Hunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, to avoid train jams and high train ticket prices."It will be a tiring 10-hour motorcycle ride, but I can save a lot of money by not taking a train," said a migrant worker surnamed Huang who set off at 6 a.m. Wednesday for his home in neighboring Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Traffic police set up more than a dozen rest areas along major national highways so workers could warm their hands, drink some hot tea and repair their motorcycles before continuing their trip.Railway stations across the country have been crowded with millions of migrant workers carrying belongings and trying to buy tickets home. For some, this is the one chance they have per year to return home with gifts for their family. The railways are expected to carry 210 million passengers during the 40-day travel period that began January 30.But a blizzard that hit at least six provinces and regions in northern China Tuesday and Wednesday has disrupted tens of thousands of homecoming trips.Railway authorities say trains will slow down once fresh snow measures 40 cm. Train service will be halted if the snow depth exceeds 50 cm.The Ministry of Transport said at least 24 expressways were closed nationwide amid heavy snow by Wednesday morning in the provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, as well as in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Besides the bad weather, traffic accidents caused by the crush of people and tired driving are straining the nerves of passengers and government officials.More than 600 traffic accidents occurred in the northwestern Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region between Tuesday and Wednesday. No casualties were reported, said the regional traffic police.In Gansu Province, nine people were killed and another 24 injured after a bus with 33 passengers veered off the road and fell into a ravine Wednesday morning near Longnan City.More than 270,000 police have been busy trying to keep order on the roads, cracking down on speeding, overloading and other offences, according to the Ministry of Public Security.The holiday is also an annual headache for authorities as workshops, mostly illegal and poorly run, are speeding up production of fireworks, a must have item when celebrating the Spring Festival.Three people died and another two were injured Wednesday after a blast in a fireworks plant in Anshun City in southwest China's Guizhou Province.

BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese government has decided to offer emergency humanitarian aid of 1 millon U.S. dollars to Chile to help relief work in areas hit by Saturday's earthquake, Yao Jian, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce said Monday.China was preparing for disaster relief work and would continue to provide humanitarian aid to Chile according to need, said Yao.A massive 8.8-magnitude quake rocked Chile early Saturday, leaving at least 708 people dead and hundreds missing.

BEIJING, March 20 (Xinhua) -- The appreciation of renminbi, or China's currency yuan, will not help tackle the global economic imbalance, economists said here Saturday.The idea that yuan's appreciation would cure global economic imbalance was not going to happen, Angel Gurria, secretary general of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, said at the China Development Forum 2010.To solve trade imbalance, countries such as the United States and China should seek measures to encourage domestic consumption, improve social well-being and reform pension system, instead of sticking to the exchange rate issue, Gurria said.The exchange rate adjustment, especially between the United States and China, would not help cut the U.S. trade deficit, while one way to tackle the problem is to loose restrictions on high-technology exports to China, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said.Since China overtook Germany to become the world's largest exporter, the country is facing increasing criticism for devaluating the yuan to earn artificial price advantages. Some U.S. senators have recently ratcheted up pressure on yuan appreciation and urged the government to label China as currency manipulator."If the U.S. government names China as a currency manipulator, quite unfortunately, it will hurt the bilateral relations at least in short and medium term," said Li Daokui, director of the Center for China in the World Economy of Tsinghua University."The two countries should be cooperative to solve the problem, while naming China as a currency manipulator will be no help," Li said."After all, it will not be in the interests of the United States, China and the whole world if the two countries' disputes escalate into a trade war," he said.

BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) - A senior Chinese lawmaker said on Wednesday that legislation requiring public officials to declare their personal assets is under consideration and seen as a move to prevent corruption and improve government transparency."We are researching the issue, since the legislation requires mature consideration of all conditions," said Li Fei, deputy director of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the National People' s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.Li noted that the legislation should be assisted by the establishment of the personal credit system, which details individuals' financial information even if assets are not declared.Premier Wen Jiabao said on March 5 that high priority should be given to fighting corruption and encouraging integrity among public officials.Leading cadres at all levels, especially high-ranking ones, must resolutely implement the central leadership's regulations on reporting their personal financial situations and property, including incomes, housing and investments, as well as the jobs held by their spouses and children, Wen said.

BEIJING, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- China's central bank asked the nation's lenders to increase loans for rural development as farmers and rural business still had limited access to financing.Banks should issue more microloans to farmers to foster rural industries and urbanization, Liu Shiyu, deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, said at a meeting on rural financing service on Sunday."More efforts should be made to encourage financial institutions to offer rural financing services and participate in rural financial market," he said.Rural credit cooperatives should speed up corporate restructuring and play a leading role in rural financial market, Liu said.He also urged efforts to establish more village banks, microcredit companies and new types of financial institutions.Poor access to fund, as one of the reasons, has long kept China's rural development left behind the urban modernization.The situation has not been significantly improved despite repeated calls by government, as banks are relunctant to lend for lack of collaterals.By the end of September 2009, rural loans increased 29.1 percent year on year to 8.8 trillion yuan (1.29 trillion U.S. dollars), 8.3 percentage points higher than a year earlier

BEIJING, Feb. 22 -- The Chinese central government plans to implement a new policy in the first half of this year to encourage auto industry consolidation and further the development of Chinese-brand passenger vehicles, an official from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said at a recent news conference.According to sources with knowledge of the new policy, it intends that Chinese-brand passenger vehicles will comprise at least half of vehicle sales by 2015 and sedans made by entirely domestic automakers will have about 40 percent of the nation's car market.Statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) show that 4.58 million Chinese-brand passenger vehicles were sold last year, some 44.3 percent of the total. Through an acquisition deal with Aviation Industry Corp last year, Chang'an Auto closed the biggest asset deal between State-owned auto enterprisesSales of domestic sedans hit 2.22 million units, almost 30 percent of the segment.The new policy will also focus on accelerating consolidation between automakers and could lead to a new round of reshuffling, industry insiders said.China became the world's largest auto producer and market last year with both production and sales surpassing 13.5 million vehicles due in part to government incentives.There are now more than 130 carmakers across the country, but most of them are small enterprises with annual production and sales of fewer than 10,000 units.Only five had sales of more than 1 million units last year as the country's top 10 carmakers moved a total of 11.89 million vehicles to account for 87 percent of overall sales, according to market data.Consolidation movesLast year, Chang'an Motor Corp acquired two minivan makers - Hafei and Changhe - as well as engine producer Dong'an Auto from the Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), marking the biggest asset deal ever between State-owned auto companies.Chang'an is the fourth-largest motor group in China and the local partner of US carmaker Ford Motor and Japan's Mazda and Suzuki. After the acquisition, Chang'an's 2009 sales were only 30,000 units behind Dongfeng, the country's third-largest motor group.Guangzhou Automobile Group Corp, the country's sixth-biggest automaker, bought a 29 percent stake of Shanghai-listed SUV maker Changfeng Motor Co Ltd for 1 billion yuan in May last year.Beijing Automobile Industry Holding Corp, China's fifth-largest carmaker, reportedly finalized a deal last month to buy a 40 percent stake in Daimler AG's van joint venture with Fujian Motor Industry Corp.By 2012 policymakers hope consolidation will result in two to three large-scale auto groups, each with annual production capacity surpassing 2 million units, and four to five companies with annual output of more than 1 million vehicles, according to the national auto industry revitalization plan released in March last year.The current top-four Chinese motor groups are SAIC Motor Corp, FAW Group, Dongfeng Motor and Chang'an Motor. Carmakers including Beijing Automobile, Guangzhou Automobile, Chery, Geely and Sinotruk form the second tier in the country's auto industry.Going globalLi Yizhong, minister of Industry and Information Technology, said recently that in addition to fueling industry consolidation, the government will also implement measures to encourage domestic automakers in reaching overseas this year through investment, acquisition of foreign brands, building research and development facilities and developing sales networks.Industry sources said that the new policy calls for 20 percent of overall sales by major auto groups to be generated overseas in the next few years.In the wake of the financial crisis, China's vehicle exports fell sharply by 45.7 percent to 369,600 units last year, according to statistics from the General Administration of Customs. Industry analysts generally expect a rebound in car shipments this year as the foreign markets begin to recover.Despite the poor export performance, Chinese companies were aggressive in acquiring overseas assets in 2009.Homegrown carmaker Geely's bid for Swedish luxury brand Volvo received a lot of media exposure in 2009. The Zhejiang-based company will reportedly close the deal soon.Beijing Automotive bought some of Swedish carmaker Saab's core assets and technologies for 0 million last year.Li noted that along with encouraging acquisitions and consolidation, the government will restrain overcapacity in the auto industry.Li also said that the ministry will accelerate the development of new energy vehicles, including hybrid, pure electric and fuel battery models.The new policy will reportedly stipulate that Chinese partners hold at least a 50 percent share in newly built Sino-foreign joint ventures that produce core parts for alternative-energy vehicles.
