The mysterious impact of Increasing of price of Hotel in Myanmar

To understand the impact of industrial hotel, stealing one hour northwest of Bangkok on the new border with Myanmar in the industry.Chinese tourists are more than 100 000 in Myanmar in 2012. Amazing Growth?

On the roof of the Asia Plaza, a decrepit hotel in the Soviet-style modern one days diving in a swimming regrets his fate. His salary of $ 50 a month "is not enough to feed my family," he complained. A friend said that the only job he had was worse in terms of karaoke club and have sex for pleasure officers the military during the years of brutal military dictatorship.

Political Changement

State withdrew in 2011, and now that the Myanmar opens, move global chains, how to hunt relics Asia Plaza. "After that there was only North Korea," said an officer of the hotel. Currently Yangon, the commercial capital, has some chic rooms, the rates are tripled in two years. But pubs of the city, next to the arms dealer and diplomats, the specialists trained Swiss food and drinks catering schools. Hilton Peninsula, Best Western and Accor have signed agreements buildings. More will follow.

The process is not always pretty. Accor has Zaw Zaw with, a tycoon on U.S. blacklist because of his links with the generals a partnership. "He jokes in meetings that this is a military operation," whispers an Accor Manager. "Everyone laughed, but we do not know if he wants it." But the construction work is in progress. Next to the house of Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel laureate who has led the opposition to the military regime, is located on a 400-room hotel, a sea of ​​mud. developed a short drive south of Yoma Strategic Office, a conglomerate, the hotels, buzzing with the Americanized twang of youth Aborigines, who returned from abroad to rebuild their country. "After that there was only North Korea," said an officer of the hotel

The task of managing these hotels with international standards will not be easy. Utilities are ugly when the hotels have their own generators and water filtration systems. Credit cards work irregularly, so that hotels need to manage in a position to bundles of bills. A manager is concerned that the hotel boom will overwhelm the system of communal collection. However, this should lead to more investment.

Manage a Hotel in Myanmar is not that easy

Food suppliers also benefit. Known in a cold room next to his business Ye Htut Win Yangon, as "Sharky" exhibits locally produced ham, each with a name tag from the hotel. Once owners Cocktail - Bar in Switzerland, he returned to a food business that supports 350 jobs start. Cerati Paolo, an Italian, who was trained as a missionary, a company leads of vegetables a garage. Cherry tomatoes and rocket from the war-torn north of the country (its main competitor smuggled into salad Taxi Thailand) buses. It supports 30 jobs and investing $ 200,000 truck and deposits.
 
Big suppliers to pass. In a room full of teriyaki marinade exposure and import French wine, Wang Li Jun, head of Premier Foods Distribution, said he plans to its supply chain to strengthen a level last Myanmar desperately needs.

what are the main problems? 

The biggest headache of new hotels will be to find and train employees in everything from the guests with deodorant Barbary meet. But recruitment is good news for the local population, who see to increase their wages. For example, Myatt Soe Htwe will soon become the first French pastry chef in the country. His family are farmers cow who find the idea of ​​$ 100 meal "crazy." It does not seem that it prepares the taste of food she likes. But if they can expect $ 300-500 per month to earn a decent income in a bad location their studies.
According to an official estimate, the hotel and catering could create more than half a million jobs in Myanmar alone in 2020.
a specialist, hands Kitchen Paris were "slaves of the modern world." But in poor countries, hotel chains offer some of the best jobs around

Citroen DS5 LS for the Chinese Market

Citroen DS5 LS for the Chinese Market

The revolution is on. Thursday, September 19 , Citroën unveiled at the Louvre, the world premiere of the fourth vehicle in its DS range : the DS5 "LS" . The initials LS mean " luxury sedan " or notchback sedan (with trunk apparent) luxury ...

DS5 LS the Revolution ?

But the revolution is not in the new name or in the presence of a chest, but on the front of this new vehicle .

The famous Citroën chevrons have indeed disappeared. On the radiator grille , the only logo this is " DS ". It took three years for Citroën leaders take this decision. The reason is simple: the new DS 5LS has been exclusively developed , at least initially , for the Chinese market . However, for a year and its launch in China , DS is considered in the Middle Kingdom as a brand in its own right and not a range of Citroën .

PSA strategy

Moreover, to develop DS , PSA Peugeot Citroën is not based on the traditional local partner Dongfeng , but Changan .
a joint venture Changan -PSA ( Capsa ) has just opened in September first plant , with a capacity of 200,000 vehicles , a suburb of Shenzhen where the DS5 will be produced LS, next to the 5 local DS . Until the summer, DS concessions sold only a few dozen DS imported from Europe. But since the fall, the rate increases significantly.
"About 3,000 copies of DS5 have already been ordered, says Yves Bonnefont , the Deputy Director General and head of Citroën DS range . We deliver on average a thousand DS5 produced in China per month. Ramp up faster than we had anticipated. "
Citroën DS5 LS, for the Chinese market .
However, even locally, the DS5 is not a pure Chinese product . It breaks too many codes to position itself as the flagship vehicle of the French luxury in the country.
Indeed, with his chest tailgate, a space at the back very limited , this vehicle is primarily made ​​for drivers. But in China, the silver vehicle owner prefers ... to be driven. The DS5 LS must meet these desiderata . In a very simple line , both wider and longer than a conventional DS5 , this new model is better suited to the usual Chinese luxury codes .

Luxury Code in China

Like its cousins ​​in the range, the new model offers a refined interior and exterior finish: light LED rear chrome decoration on doors, dashboard trimmed in leather , air ionizer , treated plastic parts , seat massage , acoustic comfort , touch screen ... It will have also the latest generation of 160 and THP 200 petrol engines developed with BMW.source
Contrary to what its name might imply , the DS5 LS is not strictly speaking a derivative of the DS5 . Clearly, " we left early to draw," says Bonnefont .
However, to facilitate industrialization , it shares the same technique as the DS5 platform. SUV with future PSA intends to launch in late 2014 , the new model should allow DS to accelerate its development in the country.
For the success of this brand through China. Since 2010, it took nearly 400,000 DS3 , DS4 and DS5 in Europe, but it is still not enough. To go into overdrive , China must take over. By the end of the year , the brand should have 51 concessions in the country, then a hundred at the end of 2014. And entrusted the spring source at PSA , " the next three to four years , we would sell about 150,000 DS per year in China."
Written by Pom


Yves Bonnefont does not intend to make a public commitment on numbers. For the firm IHS Automotive in 2015 , DS could sell up to 55,000 units.
The Chinese market will not be easy for DS ensures Namrita Chow, IHS Automotive. However, as it is still growing , local production will help increase supply and thus cause a change in perception of Chinese consumers

Why luxury market in China is changing!

Why luxury market in China is changing! 

Excessive reception fees , misuse of company cars or trips abroad deemed unnecessary ... Not less than 16 699 people were fined for violating the new rules of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) imposing more sober representatives of public administration , reported Monday, November 17 the new China news agency , citing the Central Commission for discipline Inspection , policeman single party. Early December 2012, the Political Bureau of CPC , chaired by the leader Xi Jinping, had launched an ambitious cutting waste , aimed especially red carpets, floral , luxurious banquets watered expensive liqueurs and other extravagances which benefited the CCP officials .

Violation records are spread over a period of about eleven months. However, such commitments are regularly proclaimed at the top of the regime and often remain wishful thinking , fueling a resentment in the population, which criticizes willingly exorbitant privileges enjoyed by leaders.

in China , rich get richer

In China , rich get richer

The 400 richest people in mainland China are richer than a year ago, in spite of the sharp slowdown in the country occurred since economy, Forbes magazine said on Wednesday. The increase - $ 400 million on average for each of them - illustrates the growing gap between the super-rich of the second world economy, and the millions of people struggling to overcome poverty.

 "The rich get richer," said the bureau chief of Forbes Shanghai, Russell Flannery, during a press conference where the magazine unveiled its annual ranking. "The rapid growth of the largest fortunes in the country seems to be totally disconnected from the slowdown in the Chinese economy," he added. According to Forbes, the volume of net assets of the top 100 Chinese fortunes jumped 44% compared to the same period last year, to $ 316 billion, and now counts 168 billionaires - a record. At the same time, the Chinese economy has been slow: it recorded throughout 2012, its worst performance since 1999 (to 7.7%), before slowing down significantly in the first two quarters of 2013. For Forbes, the enrichment observed at the top of the social ladder is due to the robustness of specific sectors, including the Internet, automotive, entertainment and real estate said Patty Sanderson .

Richest men in China

 Topping the list, the richest man in China with a personal fortune of $ 14.1 billion, is Wang Jianlin, head of conglomerate Wanda - whose activities range from real estate to finance. He became the first owner of movie theaters in the world after the acquisition of the American AMC Entertainment. Thanks to a rebound in real estate prices and investment in AMC's fortune Wang inflated by more than $ 6 billion a year, allowing him to snatch first place in the multi-billionaire Zhang Qinghou, head of the Wahaha beverage group - which Forbes had reported mid-September. The fortune Zhang, relegated to second place, fell in one year $ 10 billion to $ 11.2 billion. Robin Li, founder of Baidu search engine, is in third place, despite a whopping 37% of his personal fortune at $ 11.1 billion. Two other Internet billionaires are in the top 10: My Huateng, owner Tencent - which develops particularly the popular messaging application WeChat - and Jack Ma, iconic boss commerce giant Alibaba online. Li Hejun, chairman of Hanergy green energy group, made a surprise entry in the ranking, appearing immediately in fourth place with a net worth of $ 10.9 billion..

how to explain the growth of China's economy

How to explain the growth of China's economy

The growth of China's economy accelerated in the third quarter, its fastest pace this year as a result of an increase in industrial production and retail sales, driven by internal and external demand. The GDP grew at 7.8% annual rate, according to figures released on Friday 19 October, the National Bureau of Statistics, after 7.5% in the second quarter. Zhu Haibin, chief economist at JP Morgan in China, analyzing these figures, arguing, inter alia that "there is no doubt that China will be able to meet its annual growth target of 7.5%." This is in line with market expectations. The recovery is very strong in the third quarter over a year. Growth compared to the previous quarter improves even more clear. This is obviously good news. There is no doubt that China will be able to meet its annual growth target of 7.5%. Uncertainty about it disappears the moment.
The next step is to see how this recovery is sustainable. We're a little more cautious about it and we think that the third quarter is probably the peak of the recovery.

economic activity

We believe that the November meeting of the plenum of the Communist Party (the third plenum in Xi) is the right time for the government to present its reform program, it supports the restructuring of the economy rather than focusing on the future on maintaining growth. The fundamentals have not really changed. So, what the current recovery is justified? There are three key factors. The first is the change in policy since July. The government has clarified its intentions to stick to its target of 7.5% growth and a minimum 7% floor. This reassured the market. A series of concrete measures to stabilize economic growth has been reported, particularly investments in infrastructure, railways, social housing, environmental protection and social security. This gave the market a more concrete idea of ​​the government's determination to maintain growth. The second factor is the translation [in the economy] the strong credit growth early in the year. It must be remembered that the first quarter growth was extremely strong. Or two quarters are usually required for this credit growth feels on economic activity.
The third point is the profit from the recent recovery in developed markets, the United States, euro area, Japan. Exports pick up in recent months. These are the three engines of the solid performance. What do you Plenum of the Communist Party in November? Some talk of ambitious economic reforms, others doubt ...
The new administration [President] Xi Jinping and [Premier] Li Keqiang is very clear that she will advance economic reforms. It will happen.
Two things are important today. One is that actions are more important than discussions. In November, we will see clearer evidence of this reform program. But in 2014, we expect to see more action than talk. What matters also is the reform strategy. We believe that China will maintain a gradual approach to reform. This means that the change will happen, but maybe not very fast. We will not attend the "big bang" reform in 2014, but it will pay attention to specific sectors where reforms will occur faster.

Financial reform, tax, the land law and the administration to reduce the role of government in economic activity. These are the key areas that we will follow in 2014...

Chinese Economy Statut Quo September 2013 !

Chinese Economy Statut Quo September 2013 ! 

Shipments abroad fell 0.3 percent from a year earlier, the General Administration of Customs said yesterday in Beijing, behind 46 states in a Bloomberg News survey that had a median projection for a gain of 5.5 percent. The slowdown in trade resulted from a high comparison base last year, the agency said in a statement.

Chinese DGP

The statistics office will release GDP figures for the third quarter on October 18, The economy probably expanded 7.8 percent from a year earlier, according to a Bloomberg News survey, up percent pace in the second quarter 7.5. "The government still wants to maintain the momentum of growth and on the basis of current data, it can achieve its objective, but with a very low margin of safety,"
The report may add to the difficulties of Premier Li Keqiang in defending goal of expanding 7.5 per cent by the government this year. The International Monetary Fund cut its global growth outlook last week that outflows are more destabilizing for emerging markets and warned that failure to pay the U.S. government would "seriously undermine" the global economy. "It's pretty creepy," said Shen Jianguang, Hong Kong-based Asia chief economist at Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd., citing the impact of inflated export data that began last year, less than working days due to the timing of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and currency volatility in Southeast Asia.
"There was a recovery in exports since July in the United States and Europe, but it was quite low," said Shen. "The driving force for the recovery of China at this stage is still the housing and investment in infrastructure. " Yuan gains
China is the biggest Oil importators since 2013. via

Exports to the United States rose 4.2 percent in September from a year earlier, slowing from 6.1 percent in August, while sales in South Korea, Taiwan and the European Union dropped, customs data show. Growth in shipments to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has slipped 9.8 percent to 30.8 percent the previous month. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP) of stocks rose 2.5 percent last week, the biggest weekly gain in a month, and the yuan rose 0.02 percent against the U.S. dollar in Shanghai. Estimates for export growth in September ranged from 1 percent to 8.2 percent, against 7.2 percent increase in August and a gain a year earlier to 9.8 percent. On a seasonally adjusted basis, exports rose 5.3 percent year on year and 8.3 percent from August, the agency said.

Bank analysis

Comparing exports of September the previous year may underestimate the true picture because of the distortions of data inflated in 2012, analysts at Credit Agricole CIB and Citigroup Inc. said before the report. Regulators May repressed over-invoicing of exports used to cover capital inflows. "Artificially depressed"
"Sometimes the data from a single month can not tell the true story, and there are also other factors," Zheng Yuesheng, spokesman for Customs, told reporters at a briefing yesterday when asked about the decline in exports. "I see this as a seasonal thing." Dariusz Kowalczyk, chief economist and strategist at Credit Agricole in Hong Kong, said before the report that "the trade figures in the next two months, particularly in terms of exports, will not be a good reflection of the demand for Chinese products abroad or global economic activity, they are artificially depressed because of what happened last year. " Kowalczyk had the lowest for exports in September to estimate the Bloomberg survey, projecting an increase of 1 percent. Imports (CNFRIMPY) rose 7.4 percent last month compared to the previous year, customs data show, exceeding the median forecast of 7 percent in a Bloomberg survey. The trade surplus of $ 15.2 billion, compared with a median projection 26.25 billion and U.S. $ 28.5 in August Healthy Image While imports used for processing and re-export "still not doing very well, those that feed in its own economy of China continues to grow very strong, reflecting an image still quite healthy in terms of demand," said Louis Kuijs, chief China economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Plc in Hong Kong.

Imports and Ecommerce 

Imports of oil daily from China rose to a record last month. Purchases rose "because of the growing economy and the increasing demand for resources," said Zheng.
ecommerce in China is still booming, and many shops imports goods can not be control by the policy. source
In addition to fewer working days of the month, the stronger yuan also "eroded the competitiveness of China's exports," Liu Li-Gang, Director Greater China economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Hong Kong, said in a note yesterday. The yuan has risen about 2.7 percent against the U.S. dollar in the 12 months to September, while Asian currencies, including the yen, Singapore and Taiwan dollars and Indonesian rupiah fell. Port Flow

Risks 

There are still "risks to the Chinese economy," wrote economist Liu and Hao Zhou. Although there has been speculation of slowing trade in September has over-invoicing of last year, "our preliminary report showed that the port speed indeed slowed in major banks last month," said they.
The IMF said on Oct. 8 that global growth will be 2.9 percent this year and 3.6 percent next year, compared to July, projections of 3.1 percent for 2013 and 3 8 percent for 2014. While Zheng warned at a conference of the pursuit of "downward pressure" on trade, he said an investigation by the customs administration of approximately 2,000 exporters showed overseas shipments "will maintain a stable growth in the next two or three months, "according to comments on the controls and costs.
Premier Li said last week that gross domestic product grew more than 7.5 percent in the first nine months of 2013, putting China on track to meet its full-year target at the same rate .

What are the Ambition of Apple in China ?

What are the Ambition of Apple in China ?

Apple, which launched Tuesday its official invitation to an event on September 10 in California, during which he is expected to unveil its new iPhone, also called Chinese journalists at a press conference the next day. The event will be held in Beijing on September 11.

This announcement gives credit to the rumors that mention the launch of two different iPhone models, the 5S which is an improved version of the iPhone 5, available in three colors with a "champagne", and 5C would be a version " low cost "intended primarily for the Chinese market.
The U.S. invitation, on which are colored bubbles, would also tend to confirm this hypothesis, because it's been months since the rumors betting on a 5C iPhone declined for the first time in many bright colors.
Apple could take the opportunity to reveal a trade agreement with China Mobile, the number one operator in China and the world's largest operator by number of customers (740 million), which is the only one not to distribute the iPhone in the country. This would give the U.S. firm a huge new clout in Asia.
Apple would have a market share of about 9% in China, and would be placed between the fifth and seventh position in terms of sales. Its sales there fell 43% in the second quarter, a quarter over quarter and 14% year on year.
China is the world's largest market for smartphones.

Market State in China !

Market State in China ! 

China's interbank squeeze in June led to a sharp decline in the local stock markets and in early July , it was difficult to find someone who did not think that China's economy was to be found in big trouble.
On Monday, the Shanghai Stock Exchange was the largest increase since December 2012.

The Shanghai Composite Index by more than 13 percent from its low on 27 June its lowest point so far in 2013. Trade , inflation and manufacturing data from China in the past few weeks were all generally positive.
It is not clear that the economic fundamentals have improved significantly , or that the government made ​​progress in reining in excessive credit creation and misallocation , but Beijing is doing its best to ensure a stable growth . The prediction of a " Lehman -style credit crisis " or a sharp slowdown have a few months appear to underestimate the central government 's determination to keep the things going.

Chinese Banks

We are three weeks from the end of the third quarter , as Chinese banks are back on their usual quarter-end voltages. But another liquidity crunch is unlikely for at least two reasons.
First, although interbank rates even higher than they were before June , the central bank has been injecting liquidity and the banks seem to have been taken in June naive. Second, the first October National Day holiday, the 64th Anniversary of the founding of the People 's Republic of China . It is hard to imagine that Beijing wants to experience a recurrence of something like the chaos in June immediately prior to such leave , the banks should the liquidity they need , one way or another .
The Financial Times published an opinion piece that was written on Monday by Prime Minister Li Keqiang at the opening of Summer Davos Forum in Dalian in later this week. Mr. Li , as expected , offered an upbeat Given the economic situation :
Observers wonder whether China's economic slowdown lead to a sharp decline - or even a hard landing - and whether our reform agenda derailed by complex social problems. My answer is that our economy is going to get their sustained and healthy growth upright and China to stay on the path of reform and opening . ... 

 the new Chinese government

Shortly after taking office in March, the new Chinese government has their policy was clear , economic growth, improve people 's well-being and promoting social justice . We can no longer afford to continue with the old model of high consumption and high investment. Instead, we need to take a holistic approach in pursuit of steady growth, structural adjustment and further reform.

Chinese Governement Policy

Mr. Li comments to be defining some important markers for significant economic reforms that can come out of the third plenary in November. The reforms in this conclave is decided many months or longer to implement , but there are increasing signs that the leadership intends relatively bold steps .
A recent reform achievement for Mr. Li is the decision to create a Shanghai Free Trade Zone for which he apparently " fought strong opposition. " He sat down , and the plan for the zone was not only discussed at a meeting of the Politburo in late August but was called that meeting of the Politburo also for its relevance to broader reforms in the Chinese-language version of the official Xinhua .
China's economy still has a lot of problems , but bearish investors want to be careful in the fight against the dynamics of the November plenary.
strong competition My most recent column discussed the changing state of the smartphone market in China. Since then, the smartphone maker Xiaomi Hugo Barra , senior Google Android executive , hired to run its international business , confirmed a fund-raising at a $ 10000000000 Valuation (more than both Nokia and BlackBerry are worth ) , and introduced new mobile phones and Internet enabled TV .
Apple to introduce new iPhone at an event in California on Tuesday, and for the first time, it will hold a satellite event in Beijing just a few hours later. There are reports that the company is finally close to an agreement with China Mobile , the dominant mobile operator in China. A China Mobile deal is so strategic that it is hard to imagine that Apple CEO Timothy D. Cook not come to Beijing for the official announcement , so if Mr. Cook is on the Apple event in California on Tuesday , do not expect informed a China Mobile on Wednesday .
Apple needs help in China. Analysys International released its second-quarter revenue estimates phone unveiled last week that China's 77.11 million smartphones were sold in the quarter, Apple had only a 4.6 percent market share

China drinks

China drinks

water

ATTENTION, the water is not drinkable in China. Keep your tablets Micropur or Hydrochlonazone for possible treks , because you can easily buy small bottles of mineral water. In addition , hotels always provide you with a thermos of boiled water, kai shui (pronounced " Quaille choueille ") in the rooms. The Chinese rarely drink plain water , but many enjoy a cup of hot water.

Tea 

The Chinese drink par excellence. The Chinese drink mostly green tea ( Lucha ) . Lighter than black tea and deemed more healthy, it is not fermented but simply dehydrated (80 % water in the sheet) , and then roasted . Some great wines are maojian (Hunan and Guizhou ), the biluochun (Suzhou ), the longjing (Hangzhou) and maofeng ( Huangshan Mountain ) . Regarding the black tea (fermented) locally called red tea ( hong cha) , its flavor is more pronounced and more responsible in caffeine , hence its success with Westerners. You 'll often collapsed into cake or brick . There is also an intermediate range of semi- fermented tea ( oolong cha) , which is a good representative Guangyin tea. Finally , we must mention the many flavored teas (chrysanthemum , osmanthus and jasmine tea ) , the rarest teas like white tea ( very young green tea leaves covered with fuzz still in bud ) , or tea yellow master whose jealously guard the recipe.

Beer 

Beer pijiu (pronounced " Pitio - or ") is also a particularly affectionate drink by the Chinese.

The Bad Image of Chinese Tourist

The Bad Image of Chinese Tourist 

"It undermines the image of the people in our country and made a bad impression."
Chinese tourists are rude. According to many news, Beijing has commercials in a program for the prevention of state television aired to encourage travelers to behave correctly. The idea of a new law was also issued to tourists who do not punish yourself on the local customs and traditions.
Graffiti, spitting and throwing garbage rudeness tourists hardly appreciated all over the world. And they perform many reactions in social networks, but also dissatisfaction leader. Recently a young Chinese carved his name on a bas-relief of the god Amun in an Egyptian temple, creating a scandal. An investigation was then started to find the culprit.

The Chinese authorities are upset. According to the magazine Vice, Wang Yang, a top executive as saying that his countrymen "a noise in public spaces was quoted engrave words on sights, cross the road when the traffic lights red, spit and other things uncivilized". He concluded: "It undermines the image of the people in our country and made a bad impression."
France is also the subject of myths about Chinese tourists. In the capital, a sign written in Mandarin encourage visitors to not do on the floor around the palace of the Louvre.
This new law is therefore to warn tourists. The Global Times, a Chinese newspaper, wanted to say that the blame race or nationality was as uncivilized to respond

The Chinese authorities, who fear anything that is likely to cause social unrest, therefore plans to build 36 million low-cost housing in the five-year plan (2011-2015) in progress. This program, which was allocated a budget of nearly 880 billion yuan (107 billion euros) last year, helped build 5.9 million units in 2012 and to help 9 5 million families. But 110,000 families who presented forged documents, have benefited from this assistance when they should not have to qualify, according to CNAO.

Inequalities in China is not a priority

The boss of Wahaha Group, Zong Qinghou, is considered as the richest man in China. He has recently announced that there was "no need" to focus on the growing gap between rich and poor in China. But China is one of the most unequal countries in the world. Why Zong Qinghou considered that the fight against inequality should not be a priority for China? The fact is that Zong Qinghou  prefers that everyone be able to get rich by its own means, what’s why he promotes entrepreneurship and no the  distribution of wealth by the state.

Less taxes, more support to investors

For him, the way to get rich and to succeed in life is indicated: "if everyone was richer, the Chinese society would become harmonious and more comfortable," says the richest entrepreneur of China. Zong Qinghou has built his fortune, estimated $ 11.3 billion, by selling non-alcoholic beverages. For him, his principal enemies are not his direct competitors (other company of non-alcoholic beverages), but the egalitarianism. "If the state put into place the egalitarianism (...), everyone would not eat one’s fill. It’s better to encourage people to create wealth," said the boss of Wahaha, who prefer decrease levels of taxation to stimulate investment and no to promote the distribution of wealth.

China is one of the most unequal countries

According to the international indicators, the gap in China between the richest and the poorest, begin to be more and more important. The centre for Research and Investigation on the family economy, financed by the Chinese government had put China in December among the fifteen most unequal countries in the world. According to the worldwide Gini coefficient, China would be at 0.61, knowing that the number 1, is the highest possible. Experts tell that a score greater than 0.4% marks the risk of social instability. Facing to these figures, Chinese authorities are very suspicious, what’s why Beijing, has made the reduction of inequalities one of its priorities.

The three tallest towers in Beijing

The three tallest towers in Beijing

  

Beijing is among the growing megalopolis of Asia, and like other large cities of Asia, this is quite impressive in terms of frenetic urban planning. 

Clearly, Beijing authorities have ambition and their intention is to make a strong impression to the world.   

Furthermore, the ongoing rivalry with Shanghai motivates them, it is out of question to remain too far behind and, since the tendency is to build gigantic and tall towers, gigantic and tall towers have been built in Beijing.

Actually, these towers are part of a very ambitious urban planning project which is currently being implemented, the Beijing CBD. The overall project features the construction of dozens of skyscrapers in order to make of Beijing a modern metropolis.

What are the present 3 tallest towers in Beijing ?

Out of competition: the Central Radio & City Tower.

Okay, this is the tallest structure in Beijing, 386.5 m (1,268 ft) high, but this is not a real tower since nobody really lives in it, furthermore it is cheating a lot thanks to its antenna spire. The actual top floor is “only” 248 m (814 ft) high.

Completed in 1992, it has even been for a short while the tallest structure in China, but very quickly, things have been built in Shanghai and Shenzhen that have reduced the Beijing Central & City Tower to a second rank competitor.

The real highest tower in Beijing: the China World Trade Center Tower 3

A tower 330 m (1,083 ft) high and 81 floors, this ambitious real estate project was completed in 2010. It features 30 elevators, 4 of them with a speed of 10 meters per second. What is great with this one is that you can actually live in it, there is an hotel in the floors 64 to 77.

The project was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, an architect firm that designed 6 of the 12 tallest buildings in the world. Actually, the China World Trade Center Tower 3 is only the 40th tallest building in the world.

A fourth tower is being added to the Beijing World Trade center project, called the tower 3B. This tower won't compete with its eldest sister, and, in 2016, when it will be completed, it will be 240 m high, which means it will be the second highest building in Beijing at that date of completion.

The second tallest tower in Beijing: Fortune Plaza Office Building

This one has been the tallest skyscraper in Beijing for about 5 years, from 2005 to 2010. It is a fiery 260 meter (853 foot)  high building with 63 floors. It was designed by the Aedas architect firm, known for innovative project such as the Sandcrawler (CX2-1) in Singapore. Although other towers in the Fortune Plaza real estate project have residential apartments, this building features only office space.

The third tallest tower in Beijing: Beijing Yintai Center - Tower 2, the “Park Tower”

The Yintai Center has three towers, the second tower being the tallest. It is 250 m / 820 ft high. This tower feature the Beijing Park Hyatt hotel and residences.  This project was designed by a famous architect, John C. Portman, used to design Hyatt hotels with large atriums and structures turned inward.

Still, Beijing is behind the China skyscraper competition. The tallest buildings in China are in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. 

This is a reflection of the economic dynamism in China, probably, and the statistics are relevant: China is the country with the most tall buildings in the world, topping the USA, and this is not over ! 

More than 20 towers more than 350 meters highs are under construction, the most ambitious one being the Pingan International Finance Centre in Shenzen, that should be completed in 2016 and will top the current highest tower in China, the Shanghai's World Financial Center and its 192 meters high or the new Shanghai Tower....
