FRANKFURT, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] March 31 (Reuters) - Volkswagen expects vehicle sales in China, the world's largest car market, to quadruple in March, it said, pointing to a recovery following the coronavirus pandemic. "We are cautiously optimistic that the worst effects of the crisis will be behind us in two to three months," said Stephan Woellenstein, head of Volkswagen's China business. Demand was still limited, Volkswagen said, adding it was prepared to ramp up capacity at its plants in the country, 22 of which had resumed production. Two vehicle plants in Changsha and Urumqi are still closed, the carmaker said. Woellenstein said he [http://imageshack.us/photos/expected%20vehicle expected vehicle] sales of up to 1 million in March, up from 250,000 in February. "There are more and more signs that business is recovering. By the middle of the year, we could be back to last year's planning. Hope is returning on the Chinese market," Woellenstein said. In 2020, Volkswagen expects a decline of 3-15% in the Chinese market but confirmed plans to invest more than 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) this year there, with about 40% of that sum earmarked for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] electric driving. "We assume that the recovery will continue and that we will be operating in a normal market environment again in 2021," Woellenstein said. Volkswagen plans to sell 1.5 million electric cars in China per year from 2025.

Residents Fret As China apos;s Virus Exclusion Zone Widens

By David Stanway and Martin Pollard CHANGSHA, China, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Walking through the drizzle outside the railway station in the city of Changsha on Chinese New Year, local residents said it was only a matter of time before they became part of a lockdown aimed at containing China's most lethal new contagious disease since 2003. Changsha, home to 7 million people, remains on the outside of an ever-widening exclusion zone in central China as local governments try to stop the spread of a flu-like contagious disease that originated in the city of Wuhan about 355 km (220 miles) away and has already killed 42 people. More than 10 cities in Hubei province have already been shut down, and local residents in neighbouring Hunan - the home province of Mao Zedong - said they were resigned to the possibility that they would also be sealed off in the next few days. "My first concern is for myself. I'm worried that the virus may infect me. I'm also worried about people in Hubei," said Wang Junnan, a 23-year-old aviation safety officer from the city of Zhuzhou, about an hour from Changsha. Nearly all cities in Hubei to the north cut transport links over the past two days after the [http://www.estateguideblog.com/?s=provincial%20capital provincial capital] Wuhan, a city of 11 million where the outbreak started, imposed a lock-down. "There isn't much I can do. All I can do is have the mask on whenever I can," Wang said. "You can hardly find masks to buy at this moment." One pharmacy nearby had almost sold out, with the shop assistant saying they only had one "cheaper, less effective" mask left. More than 1,300 people have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus, traced to a Wuhan seafood market illegally selling wildlife. The vast majority of cases have been in Hubei province. [http://search.un.org/search?ie=utf8&site=un_org&output=xml_no_dtd&client=UN_Website_en&num=10&lr=lang_en&proxystylesheet=UN_Website_en&oe=utf8&q=Reuters%20journalists&Submit=Go Reuters journalists] were briefly stuck in the city of Xianning, which neighbours Wuhan, when the city closed transport links on Friday night, the eve of the Lunar New Year. The departures board at the city's railway station was blank, the ticket kiosk staffed by two women who said they could not sell tickets. But local authorities in Hubei and neighbouring Hunan do not yet appear to have developed a properly coordinated response to the crisis, with most cities choosing to try to seal their borders at all costs. Xianning police urged Reuters journalists to head south to the city of Yueyang, which lies across the provincial border in Hunan, but Yueyang was sealed off by another police roadblock and dozens of cars trying to leave Hubei province were also forced to turn back. However, in the early hours of Saturday morning, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] the route into Changsha, another 200 kilometres (125 miles) south, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] remained unblocked. Residents said they expected tougher measures soon, as cities, transportation operators and businesses across China extended closures aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. "I saw in the newspaper that someone was caught earlier today trying to leave Hubei and get to Hunan using the Didi application and they should be arrested," said Wang. "These measures are difficult, but they are necessary," said Wang. Hotel staff in Changsha also told Reuters they had received instructions not to allow anyone from Hubei province to book rooms. Peng Aihua, a 71-year old Buddhist nun walking outside Changsha train station, remained phlegmatic, even though the disease has spread panic through the country. "Why would death scare me?" she said. "I haven't reached my time to die yet." (Reporting by David Stanway and Martin Pollard in Changsha; Writing by Tony Munroe; Editing by Sandra Maler)

Pollution Concerns Grow Alongside Economy In China

2021-05-29T01:13:33Z

AnitraArispe:

Over the past few years, growing environmental pressure in China has forced the country to finally look into such issues as people residing near heavy industrial clusters continue to suffer from air, water and soil contamination. At the ninth "Science and Technological Week" held by the Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and Technology earlier this month, Wang Xiwen, an expert from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, gave a lecture about the seriousness of food security in China. According to Wang, heavy metal pollution is currently endangering some 300 million acres of farmland across China, equal to roughly one-sixth of all cropland in the country. Only 11 percent of farmland [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] in Guangdong Province is considered to be free from contamination. "The pollution in coastal regions is much heavier," Wang said. "The metals mercury, cadmium and copper are the main contaminants. Now the heavy metal contamination is growing in the same speed as our economic development, which means the more our country is developed, the more dangerous our environment will be, especially in the Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Liaoning provinces. In addition, the soil pollution in some inland provinces has been spreading gradually, for example, the Chang-Zhu-Tan (Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan) city cluster in Hunan Province is the most advanced area in terms of economic development in the province, while the area appears to have the most severe soil contamination as well." Statistics show that in Guangdong Province 89 percent of the farmland has already been contaminated, with 77 percent considered lightly contaminated and 12 percent classified as heavily polluted. The soil contamination in the lower Pearl River Delta area is a result of frequent industrial activities, while the pollution in northern Guangdong Province has been caused mainly by mining activities. Huge amounts of heavy metals flow into rivers and lakes in the process of washing mineral ore. In Hunan Province, the Research and Development Department of the local National Land and Resources Bureau has tracked the health records of some 70,000 individuals over the last 25 years. The records show that the number of people who suffer from osteocarcinoma (known as bone cancer) and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] other bone diseases such as osteoporosis have gone up. In the severely contaminated Zhuzhou City, it was discovered that the cadmium content of local residents was two to five times higher than normal. China's Hetao District is a region in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Northwestern China that includes the Yinchuan Plain, the Ordos Plateau, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] as well as the Loess Plateau and forms parts of Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia. The region has been known for its low quality underground water with high arsenic and fluorine content. There are 300,000 people facing the risk of arsenic poisoning, while 2,000 people have already been contaminated in the region, reports said. In Wuyuan County of Bayannur, a city in western Inner Mongolia, cancer has become the leading cause of mortality. There's also an area between Horinger County and Togtoh County - both of which are under jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolian capital city Hohhot - where the underground water is contaminated heavily by fluorine. Many villagers in the region have darkened teeth and suffer from various bone diseases. Horinger County is best known for the Mengniu Diary Company - one of China's main dairy manufacturers. Around one of the mines of the Baotou Iron and Steel Group, a state-owned steel company in Inner Mongolia, some villagers and their livestock are endangered because of the heavily polluted land which is contaminating the crops. Zinc contamination has long tormented the people of [https://twitter.com/search?q=Huludao&src=typd Huludao] in northwestern Liaoning Province.

Chinese President Xi Jinping Has Visited Wuhan For The First Time Since The City Emerged As The Centre Of The Coronavirus Epidemic In January - A Major Sign That Beijing Believes The Outbreak Is Under Control

Chinese President Xi Jinping has visited Wuhan for the first time since the city emerged as the centre of the coronavirus epidemic in January - a major [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] sign that Beijing believes the outbreak is under control. The timing of Xi's visit indicates that China is ready to declare victory over the health crisis, which has killed at least 3,136 people in the nation and 4,062 worldwide, according to experts. Xi today inspected a 1,000-bed hospital constructed in 10 days to fight the deadly disease before touring a local community to call on residents in quarantine. His visit came as Wuhan authorities have closed all of the city's 14 makeshift 'fang cang' hospitals - which were converted from sports halls and exhibition centres - after they treated some 12,000 patients. It also came as unprecedented quarantine measures that have sealed off the city of 11 million and the rest of central Hubei province since late January appear to have paid off, with new infections dropping dramatically in recent weeks. A picture released by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV through its official Weibo account shows President Xi delivering a speech at Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan this morning Huoshenshan or Fire God Mountain Hospital was built in 10 days to help treat surging number of coronavirus patients in Wuhan. CCTV has also released a video, which shows mask-donning Xi speaking to front-line medical workers and patients in the hospital through a video call Xi is pictured addressing officials working in the Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan today China state newspaper has urged its people to strive towards the 'victory of a people's war' against the epidemic.
