Italian Hospitality Seal Italian Restaurants in the World ITALIAN HOSPITALITY SEAL ITALIAN RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD Quality is definitely one of the keywords that better represents Italy all over the world, and warm hospitality is for sure one of the features that label Italian people. "Italian Style" dining is more than merely eating, it’s gathering together, sharing and enjoying the unique taste of ingredients cooked according to the traditional recipes, handed down generation by generation. This cultural experience, that is a national cultural heritage, must not only be protected but also spread and promoted worldwide. The “Italian Hospitality Seal” emphasizes the use of genuine Italian products, the offer of authentic Italian recipes, and the replication of a truly Italian atmosphere in the restaurant. The award aims at spotting and identifying authentic Italian restaurants in 54 countries in the world. The first certification dates back to 1997 and since 2010 it has been promoted in China by the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC). The project is supported by Unioncamere, together with the National Institute for Tourism Research (IS.NA.R.T), and five Italian Ministries (Foreign Affairs, Cultural Heritage, Economic Development, Tourism and Agriculture). Year after year, following accurate inspections and documents collection, CICC rewards all those restaurants which are an exceptional example of the versatility and quality of both Italian cuisine and hospitality. In 2014, 35 Italian restaurants received the award. During the awarding ceremony, CICC also presented and distributed to all the guests the first edition of the food guide “Authentic Italian Food Quality Experience”, containing information of all the awarded restaurants in 2014. “Where can I eat a real pizza Margherita? Where can I taste the best pasta al dente? Where can I go to make sure that the ingredients are 100% Italians?” The “Italian Hospitality Seal” finally answers all those questions that Italians (and not only) living abroad have always asked to themselves. Follow the “Q”! CHINA-ITALY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Franco Cutrupia - Chairman CICC Dear Entrepreneur, The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC) is a private, not-for-profit association established in 1991 and officially recognized by both the Italian and Chinese governments. CICC works in close cooperation with the Italian Embassy in Beijing, the Italian General Consulates in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chongqing as well as the Italian Trade Commission. It is active in EU-funded projects supporting the internationalization of SMEs (namely the China IPR SME Helpdesk and the EU SME Centre). As a Member of Assocamerestero (Association of Italian Chambers of Commerce Abroad), the CICC is linked - both all over the main Countries in the world and in Italy - to the network of the Italian Chambers of Commerce. CICC Facts and Figures - Members: almost six hundred Italian companies doing business in China; - Full time employees: fifteen - Five offices: in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Guangzhou and Chongqing (forthcoming); - Two main goals: bridging business and culture opportunities between China and Italy & promoting Italian products in China; - One passion: “Made in Italy”. Nowadays – even more than in the past – it is important to carefully evaluate if and how to work with China, since the Country has to be approached as a long-term strategic choice. Having such a vision, Italian entrepreneurs have to be resolute to invest both economic and human resources, eyeing long-term results. They also have to maintain their product with high technological, quality or design content, to satisfy local demand, requiring state-of-the-art technology. Besides they have to build up a local structure for both sale and after-sale services. Further necessary steps may also involve the decision to manufacture locally to be close to the local end-users. You will be most welcome to contact our offices for any information concerning the Chinese market, assistance in organizing your Company’s events and/or in finding your business partner.

  • What Does China Want?
    What Does China Want? by Ross Terrill hen China first intrigued America, in the late 18th century, we desired its tea and silk. The American missionaries and traders who reached Canton and other ports did not trouble to reflect Won what China might want of us—nothing more than the Christian gospel and gadgets and tobacco, they seemed to assume. In the years since, Americans sel- dom have had occasion to ponder the question. The historical pattern was that 5 0 Wilson Quarterly Shanghai’s Pudong financial district, sprouting on former farmlands across the Huangpu River from the city’s famous 19th-century Bund, has already established itself as one of Asia’s financial hubs. America influenced China, and that unequal dynamic climaxed in the World War II alliance with Chiang Kai-shek’s shaky Kuomintang gov- ernment against the fascist powers. In the 1940s it was presumed that China desired simply to recov- er from Japanese occupation, poverty, disunity, and corruption. When “our China,” the Nationalist regime of Chiang, went up in a puff of smoke at the end of the 1940s and the Communists took over Beijing, China became The Other. In the acrimonious years after Mao Zedong’s triumph in 1949, China was beyond our influence. But we knew what China wanted: Mao had warned that he would “lean to one side,” and soon he declared, “The Soviet Union’s today is China’s tomorrow.” We were the “imperialists,” and Mao was against us. After Moscow and Beijing quarreled in the early 1960s and the Vietnam War escalated later in the decade, what China wanted became more complex.

The results indicate as follows: Ž.i the contents of nitrogen in the Yangtze mainstream has a raising trend from the upper reaches to the lower reaches;Ž. ii total nitrogen content at a lot of stations during the middle 1980s is 5±10 times more than that during the 1960s;Ž. iii seasonal variances of nitrogen content vary with watersheds; andŽ. iv the difference of nitrogen contamination level is related to the regional population and economic development. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: China; The Yangtze River; Nitrogen contamination 1. Introduction The Yangtze River is the largest river in China, and its mainstream is 6300-km long and drainage area is about 1.8=106 km2. The natural and economic conditions vary largely with regions. The degree of nitrogen contamination differs from one area to another. Since 1956, the Water Conservancy Ministry of China had set up more than 900 chemical monitoring stations in succession on 500 rivers all over the country. Within 1958±1990, a quantity of water-quality data, including nitrogen, was accumulated but nobody has studied them systematically.

  • Report on Shanghai Water Projects
    Consulate General of Switzerland in Shanghai Commercial Section ISSUE NO.4 July 2003 Report on Shanghai Water Projects ‘A glass of water with half a glass of dirt’ was the vivid picture of the quality of drinking water in Shanghai some 25 years ago. People could still clearly remember the strange taste of the water at that time. Half a century’s industrialisation not only led to Shanghai’s fast development, but also to serious environmental problems. As the Chinese saying goes, a city with a river running through it is a city full of life. But this cannot be applied to Shanghai. Having two heavily polluted rivers running across the city, the Huangpu River and the Suzhou Creek, Shanghai has to deal with two problematic water currants. Back to even five years ago, walking along the famous Bund area was not a pleasant experience because of the bad smell emanating from the Huangpu River. For people living close to the Suzhou Creek, the situation was even worse. People had to keep windows closed day and night to avoid the foul smell from the water in the neighbourhood. Instead of being green and clear, the Creek was black and opaque, full of sewage. The drinking water for urban residents is seriously polluted as it comes mainly from outlying sections of these two rivers － the upper stretch of the Huangpu River near the Songpu Bridge in Minhang District, and the river mouth where the Yangtze River merges with the East China Sea. Faced with the threat of worsening water pollution, and demands of meeting international environmental standards, the Shanghai government decided to adopt measures for improving the environmental situation in the city.

  • China's Fear of Contagion
    China’s Fear of Contagion China’s Fear of M.E. Sarotte Contagion Tiananmen Square and the Power of the European Example For the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), erasing the memory of the June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square massacre remains a full-time job. The party aggressively monitors and restricts media and internet commentary about the event. As Sinologist Jean-Philippe Béja has put it, during the last two decades it has not been possible “even so much as to mention the conjoined Chinese characters for 6 and 4” in web searches, so dissident postings refer instead to the imagi- nary date of May 35.1 Party censors make it “inconceivable for scholars to ac- cess Chinese archival sources” on Tiananmen, according to historian Chen Jian, and do not permit schoolchildren to study the topic; 1989 remains a “‘for- bidden zone’ in the press, scholarship, and classroom teaching.”2 The party still detains some of those who took part in the protest and does not allow oth- ers to leave the country.3 And every June 4, the CCP seeks to prevent any form of remembrance with detentions and a show of force by the pervasive Chinese security apparatus. The result, according to expert Perry Link, is that in to- M.E. Sarotte, the author of 1989: The Struggle to Create Post–Cold War Europe, is Professor of History and of International Relations at the University of Southern California. The author wishes to thank Harvard University’s Center for European Studies, the Humboldt Foundation, the Institute for Advanced Study, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the University of Southern California for ªnancial and institutional support; Joseph Torigian for invaluable criticism, research assistance, and Chinese translation; Qian Qichen for a conversation on PRC-U.S.

  • The Luxury Malling of Shanghai: Successes and Dissonances in the Chinese City
    1 1 Th e Luxury Malling of Shanghai Successes and Dissonances in the Chinese City A g n è s R o c a m o r a Introduction Th is chapter looks at the role of one particular type of urban formation in the redefi nition of Shanghai: the luxury shopping mall. In the 1990s and following China’s post-Cultural Revolution opening to the West as well as the party- state’s adoption of a socialist market economy, the city saw the emergence and rapid proliferation of luxury shopping malls.
