It is bordered by North Korea, Russia and Mongolia to the north; Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and India to the west; and Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam to the south. China stretches some 5,000 km across the East Asian landmass in a dramatically varied configuration of broad plains, expansive deserts, and lofty mountain ranges, including vast areas of inhospitable terrain. The eastern half of the country, with a long seacoast and a number of offshore islands, is a region of fertile lowlands, foothills and mountains, desert, steppes, and subtropical areas. The western half of China is a region of sunken basins, rolling plateaus, and towering massifs, including a portion of the highest tableland on earth. China is the world’s most populous country with approximately 1.3 billion inhabitants. Han Chinese makes up about 93% of the population; the rest is composed of 55 different ethnic minorities. Approximately 70% of the population is rural; however, the urban population is increasing significantly in line with the economic development of the country. About 94% of the population live on approximately 36% of the land. The population is primarily concentrated in the eastern part of China with the most densely populated areas including the Chang Jiang Valley, Sichuan Basin, North China Plain, Zhu Jiang Delta and the industrial area around the city of Shenyang. On the other hand, the western regions, such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu and Qinghai – which comprise 55% of the country’s land area, contain only 5.7% of the population. Political Background On 12 February 1912, China’s two-millennia-old dynastic system of imperial government was brought down with the abdication of the last Manchu emperor, the child Puyi. Under the guidance of Sun Yat-Sen, the leader of the nationalist Kuomintang party, the Republic of China was formed, with its capital housed in Beijing. On 1 October 1949, after years of civil war between the communist and the Kuomintang forces (following the Japanese occupation), Mao Zedong formally proclaimed the foundation of the People’s Republic of China whilst the defeated Kuomintang forces fled to the Island of HVS International China’s Hotel Industry 2 Formosa (Taiwan). Ever since, China has been a communist state claiming Taiwan as a wayward province. On 8 September 1976, Mao Zedong died bringing to a close 30 years of ‘Maoism’. Under the impulsion of Deng Xiaoping China began a ‘Second Revolution’ that included a reform of the Chinese Communist Party and its political activities, a reform of the government’s organisation, the economy and defence, and cultural and artistic reforms. These reforms were undertaken to realise the broad goal of the Four Modernisations announced by Premier Zhou Enlai in 1975 (the modernization of industry, agriculture, science and technology, and national defence) and to bring China into the community of advanced industrial nations by the start of the new millennium. As a result of these reforms, China experienced strong economic growth during the past two decades. These reforms were rewarded in 2001 when China entered the World Trade Organisation (WTO). In November 2002, Vice President Hu Jintao took over presidency of the ruling Communist Party and became China’s new president at the National People’s Congress. The parliament also elected a new premier, Wen Jia Bao, and several new senior ministers. Heading a new generation of leaders, Hu is widely anticipated to continue to give priority to political stability and economic reforms to facilitate the country’s gradual entry in the WTO. With political stability (except for the China-Taiwan dispute) and further economic development, we anticipate strong growth in the tourism sector, including demand for hotel accommodation. National Economic Economic development has been the priority of China’s leaders, and Overview consequently the national economy has expanded significantly during the last two decades. Table 1 provides a summary of China’s historical and forecast key economic indicators.

Economic growth has been led by increases in industrial output. Although originally pioneered by government enterprises, private investors and foreign investment have significantly contributed to the industrial output in recent years. As controls on the economy reduced, and with demand for personal services growing in line with the enrichment of the urban population, services have also been growing rapidly. It is important to note that China’s economic growth has mainly benefited the coastal areas on the eastern seaboard due to good accessibility, links with overseas Chinese businesses and a more developed infrastructure. As such, eastern provinces have consistently achieved far higher rates of growth than the western provinces. Despite the strong growth and progress achieved in recent years, some key fundamental challenges face China, such as, reforming the ailing state-owned enterprises, overhauling the financial sector and raising the average income of China’s rural population. The banking system is also in desperate need of reform: non-performing loans are estimated at over 20% of total loans; however, it is widely believed that this estimate is somewhat conservative and that the real figure is probably much higher. As such, there are fears that vulnerable sectors, agriculture in particular, may suffer from foreign competition as China enters the WTO. Nevertheless, China’s strong economic growth is anticipated to continue during the coming years and the long-term economic outlook thus remains very positive. We anticipate that this economic growth will have a positive impact on the tourism sector and demand for hotel accommodation, in particular in the Commercial segment (Corporate and Meeting, Incentive, Conference and Exhibition ‘MICE’ demand).

There is no systemic and comprehensive researches on the strategy risk in airline industry. Thus this article mainly studies strategy management from the risk perspective. There are three main parts. Firstly, this article proposed one strategy risk factors identification system for Chinese airlines companies based on the strategy position, strategy choice and strategy implementation. Work-risk analysis and expert interview were used to extract 16 strategy risks, and then the transformation conditions from strategy risk factors to strategy risks were analyzed. In the second part, ANP was used to get the weights for 16 strategy risks, and then the airline industry strategy risk levels were evaluated in three layers, strict control layer, control layer and watching layer.

  • China's Airline Deregulation Since 1997 and the Driving Forces Behind
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints China’s airline deregulation since 1997 and the driving forces behind the 2002 airline consolidations Yahua Zhanga,*, David K. Rounda aCentre for Regulation and Market Analysis, School of Commerce, University of South Australia, Adelaide, SA 5000, Australia *Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] Phone: +61 8 830 20601 Fax: +61 8 830 27001 Abstract: This paper seeks to document and describe events in the last decade in China’s airline markets, and to clarify some misunderstandings in regard to the 2002 airline consolidations that brought sweeping changes to China’s aviation markets. Some possible reasons for the 2002 consolidations are inferred through analysing the numbers and facts of the late 1990s and early 2000s. We conclude that the consolidations may be a natural response to the changes that accompanied airline deregulation in China. Keywords: Deregulation, airline mergers, China 1. Introduction China’s airline markets have attracted the attention of many major international carriers, but have largely failed to attract the attention of academics. Literature on China’s airline markets remains relatively sparse, owing to the country’s opacity in aviation policies and the limitations of data availability. The dramatic changes that took place in China’s airline industry in the past 20 years, from a period of strict regulation and control to being relatively uncontrolled and loosely supervised, resulted in chaotic and unexpected outcomes. Those within the industry had two opposing attitudes towards these changes: some applauded them and called for further reforms, while others resisted and demanded a return to regulation.
