  • Contract for Preliminary Design of HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Signed *********************************************************************
    Contract for preliminary design of HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge signed ********************************************************************* Representatives of the three sides in the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Advance Work Co-ordination Group today (March 13) in Zhuhai staged contract signing and launch ceremonies for the start of the preliminary design and investigation of the main body of the HZMB project. The signing of the contract by the representatives of the three sides and the representative of the consortium that will undertake the preliminary design and investigation work - the China Highway Planning and Design Institute (HPDI) - marked a major step forward in the work of the HZMB project. Led by the HPDI, the consortium comprises COWI A/S, Ove Arup & Partners Hong Kong Ltd, Shanghai Tunnel Engineering & Rail Transit Design and Research Institute and CCCC First Harbour Consultants Co Ltd. As a team, they will share information and draw on each other's expertise in project management, structural design and landscape issues. They will work together to complete the preliminary design with a view to laying a strong foundation for the subsequent construction works. The main body of the HZMB will be about 29.6km. To the west, it lands on the artificial island off Gongbei, and to the east, it lands on the eastern artificial island for the tunnel section. It will be built according to six-lane expressway standard with vehicle speed of 100km per hour. To ensure unimpeded marine traffic of the main navigation channels towards the Guangzhou and Shenzhen ports, a tunnel will link the two artificial islands that provide bridge/tunnel switching facilities.

It’s where the Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition is held and last year exhibited the Shenzhou 7 orbital module, famous for the first Chinese space walk. What’s more, Zhuhai is a market for U.S. agric ultural products in the retail sector and has links in the American swine sector.

Frontier Politics And Sino-Soviet Relations: A Study Of Northwestern Xinjiang, 1949-1963 Abstract This is an ethnopolitical and diplomatic study of the Three Districts, or the former East Turkestan Republic, in China’s northwest frontier in the 1950s and 1960s. It describes how this Muslim borderland between Central Asia and China became today’s Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture under the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The Three Districts had been in the Soviet sphere of influence since the 1930s and remained so even after the Chinese Communist takeover in October 1949. After the Sino- Soviet split in the late 1950s, Beijing transformed a fragile suzerainty into full sovereignty over this region: the transitional population in Xinjiang was demarcated, border defenses were established, and Soviet consulates were forced to withdraw. As a result, the Three Districts changed from a Soviet frontier to a Chinese one, and Xinjiang’s outward focus moved from Soviet Central Asia to China proper. The largely peaceful integration of Xinjiang into PRC China stands in stark contrast to what occurred in Outer Mongolia and Tibet.

  • The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone-Hengqin New Area Are the Hot Spots of Regional Development
    Event Code: M151210WL The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone-Hengqin New Area are the hot spots of regional development. In view of this, the China Committee is organising a one-day visit to Zhuhai and Hengqin on 10 December, 2015 to let members learn more about the new development plans in these areas and explore the business opportunities brought by the development of the ”bridgehead economy”. During the visit, representatives from local governments and enterprises will greet our members, and participating members will walk on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (Zhuhai part) to have a closer look at the construction progress. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: The Bridge is a large sea crossing linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao. With the Bridge, travel time between Hong Kong’s Lantau Island and Zhuhai City will be reduced to around 40 minutes, bringing Hong Kong, Zhongshan and Jiangmen cities closer. It will be the new land transport link between the east and west coasts of the Pearl River, sprouting economic and sustainable development in the three places. Hengqin New Area, Zhuhai: In late December 2014, the State Council officially approved the establishment of Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone and confirmed its exact location and scope. It announced that Hengqin New Area in Zhuhai will be officially included in the Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone. Recently, Hengqin has been actively pursuing development of high-end service industries in the city, and announced special preferential policies related to taxation. In addition, in order to strengthen the cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao, Hengqin also plans to act in concert with Macao to become an international tourism and leisure centre.

  • 4 Recent Developments in Ftzs and Port Hinterlands in Asia and Europe
    Chapter 4: Recent developments in FTZs and port hinterlands in Asia and Europe 45 4 Recent developments in FTZs and port hinterlands in Asia and Europe 4.1 FTZs in Asia Many countries in Asian region have introduced FTZs to develop their national economies by attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) into the FTZs. In a world of limited amounts of investment funding available most Asian countries have selected this policy partly because it is easier to provide relatively well developed infrastructures in these small special areas than to establish good infrastructures throughout the whole country in a short period of time. The characteristics of FTZs in Asian countries are basically same as described in Chapter 2. FTZs are considered as outside of customs territory, are designed to attract FDI and to provide a business friendly environment with incentives, good infrastructure and other advantages. Most of all, FTZs, whether or not they are referred to by that name, have concentrated traditionally on manufacturing for export, and many of them are located along the coast or near sea transport routes to leverage international transportation. Some differences in Asian FTZs can be attributable to differences in political, economic and social situations. For example, it could be argued that the whole of Singapore is a FTZ, while almost all other countries, such as the Republic of Korea and Malaysia, have designated very specific and small areas as FTZs compared to the size of whole country. The situation in China is different again. Since China opened its economy to the world in 1980s, the country has introduced many kinds of special zones of various sizes covering large to relatively small areas, For example, Xiamen Special Economic Zone covers an area of 1,565 square kilometres and has a population of about 1.31 million while Tianjin Free Trade Zone (Bonded Zone) covers an area of five square kilometres.
