In the face of severe challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, China’s economy has restored stably and shown high counter-risk capability and enormous strength under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. The capital market in China maintained a steady development momentum, while the reform continued to deepen. A series of reform measures, such as the launch of the new Securities Law, the reform and pilot registration regime of GEM, the pilot of the fund investment advisory business, and the pilot of consolidated regulatory capital framework applied to the first batch of securities firms have opened up a broader development space for securities firms. 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of CICC. Over the past 25 years, the Company has always been committed to serving national strategies and promoting reform and innovation. We’ve therefore created a market- oriented, professional and international brand, and achieved sustainable development in terms of the overall scale, business coverage and service capability. In 2020, confronted with the complex and rapidly changing market environment, we united together and made joint efforts to overcome difficulties, and we focused our attention on both the pandemic control and business operations, continuously improved corporate governance, and constantly strengthened risk prevention and control, contributing to substantial year-on-year growth in our annual revenue and net profit. Such excellent achievements have left an indelible mark in the development history of our Company. China International Capital

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Capital Dreams: Global Consumption, Urban Imagination, And
    ©2009 Ju-chen Chen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION CAPITAL DREAMS: GLOBAL CONSUMPTION, URBAN IMAGINATION, AND LABOR MIGRATION IN LATE SOCIALIST BEIJING By JU-CHEN CHEN Dissertation Director: Louisa Schein This dissertation addresses the remaking of Beijing, with a focus on social differentiations within and beyond the city, under the impacts of the late socialist Chinese state and the expansion of global capitalism in the early 2000s. It is argued that the early 2000s witnessed China transforming from being external-referencing to self-referencing. This research simultaneously investigated the city in global, national and local contexts. Multi-site ethnographic research was performed and a design of multiple informant groups was employed. This dissertation focused on Beijing, but included perspectives external to Beijing. Beijing was the main field site, but extensive ethnographic fieldwork was also conducted in Xi’an, together with several shorter research trips to various locations. Shifting perspectives within and outside of Beijing offered insights into how the physical place of Beijing is variously imagined and created. New social groups are emerging in Beijing during the Economic Reform era, and Beijing is a different place for every distinct group of inhabitants, meaning conclusions about Beijing depend on “whose Beijing” one is addressing. This dissertation focuses on three economically-differentiated ii informant groups in the emergent social hierarchy of Beijing: a new privileged elite of business professionals, a poor working class of native Beijingers, and a new marginalized underclass of migrant laborers. The dynamics among these groups are examined through their consumption practices and use of mass media because these two domains of daily practice are crucial for identity negotiation in late socialist China.

Preface and Acknowledgments The office building is the most intriguing type of building in the contemporary world. It synthesises the current post-industrial era of late modernity; an era that has introduced a new, globally interconnected social system based on information technology. The office building displays the power of the modern corporation while centralising the command-and-control activities of the globalised economy. It is an internationally oriented commodity present in almost every nation; a visible symbol of local economic wealth, social, technological and economic progress, which rules - and yet transcends - the skyline of the contemporary global city.
