China enterprise

The point of decline of remittances (that is, legal remittances, as reported above) coincides with Peking s orientation to joint investments with expatriate Chinese. That policy goes back to 1951, when the South China Enterprise Company, the forerunner of the present Overseas Chinese Investment Corporation, sold 100,000 shares to Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong and Macao. However, until 1957, the attractions for such investors were limited overseas Chinese investment could only find opportunities in agriculture, the least profitable sector of the economy. 

Sebacic Acid. This acid is produced commercially by Union Camp in Dover, Ohio, by Hokoku OU Company in Japan, and by a state enterprise in the People s RepubHc of China (57). The process used in each case is based on the caustic oxidation of castor oU or ricinoleic acid [141-22-0] in... 

Finally, Megginson and Netter (2001) concluded from their comprehensive survey of the extensive literature on privatization that privately owned hrms are more efficient and more prohtable than otherwise-comparable state-owned hrms. They cited limited empirical evidence, especially from China, that suggests that nonprivatizing reform measures, such as price deregulation, market liberalization, and increased use of incentives, can improve the efficiency of state-owned enterprises, but it also seems likely that these reforms would be even more effective ifcoupled with privatization. 

Finally, it is important to note that it is possible to produce carbon sorbents with dehganding properties from different materials. In Table 29.4 this is demonstrated for granulated activated carbon Novocarb (MAST Carbon International, US Patent 20020176840A1, Nov. 2002) prepared by pyrolysis of phenol-formaldehyde resins, and coconut shell derived activated carbon ZL-150 (Huzhou Beigang Enterprises Group Corp., P.R. China). 

The dependence of Europeans on Chinese enterprise produced very mixed emotions of admiration, fear and scorn. Europeans immediately equated the Chinese of the region to Jews in Europe—uncannily successful in commerce, inscrutable in ritual, but marginal and powerless essential outsiders or pariah entrepreneurs (Lodewycksz 1598 26 Reid 1997). To instance one of many such stereotypes, Scott remarked of the Chinese in Banten that they live crouching under them, but rob them of their wealth and send it for China (Scott 1606 174). 

In China, however, opium was a widespread social problem. Habitual opium smoking made people listless and unproductive. When the government tried to control the drug by taxes and tariffs, enterprising criminals set up black markets. In 1729, the Manchu dynasty went so far as to enact a law specifying that anyone who sold opium was to be strangled.

The Chinese chemical market is attracting huge foreign direct investments. Between 1993 and 2003, investment projects amounted to around EUR 20 billion of contractual FDI, with Bayer, BASF, Shell, and BP the four biggest investors. Over the last ten years, five percent of foreign direct investment was into the chemicals sector. Multinational corporations (MNCs) tend to enter via joint ventures partially driven by the need for feedstock access, but wholly foreign-owned enterprises will become more common following China s membership of the WTO. 

Infrastructure and distribution raise similar problems. Capable third-party chemical distributors offering consistently high levels of service are not universally available. According to a 2002 study published by the State Council s China Development Research Centre, 70 percent of China s commercial enterprises have their own fleet of vehicles and 80 percent own their warehouse facilities. MNCs thinking about setting up their own (Western-style) nationwide chemical distribution network have soon been discouraged by the high risks and costs involved. 

Organochlorine pesticides were predominantly used during the 1950s-1970s in China. DDT, HCH, toxaphene, HCB, chlordane, heptachlor, and mirex used to be produced in China. Historically, there have been 60 POP pesticide-producing enterprises, which were located in 18 provinces in China. 

The spatial distribution of soil PAHs and the relationship between current soil PAH levels and land use patterns in the Yangtze River Delta in Southeast China were reported by Xing et al. (2006). Many privately owned and so called township enterprises have been established... 

Sanya Timber Factory is a large-scale timber processing enterprise that locates is Sanya, Hainan Island of China, In this factory there are two product lines imported from Sweden for 30,000m shaving plank and 40,000m mid-density fibre, and other workshops. About 100 tons wood waste is produced every day, which includes 35 tons wood powder, 10 tons leftover material, 10 tons sieving waste and 45 tons all kinds of bark. Due to the complicated sorts of timber waste, some of the wastes are used and others are disposed which causes severe problems of storage and pollution. 

The Medicare systems in China are as follows government-paid medical service for state functionaries and university/college students labor insurance medical service for employees of industrial, communication and other enterprises and various forms adopted on a voluntary basis for rural populations. Under the reforms of the healthcare system proposed by the Ministry of Public Health, co-payments were introduced in 10 provinces and cities for employees of state-owned institutions and enterprises to pay for part of their treatment, including drugs (IFPMA Compendium, 1994). Approval of drugs can be revoked after two years if no part of manufacture occurs in China (usually packaging).

The Gordon Research Conferences, started as a uniquely American enterprise 75 years ago, have been important in the development of U.S. chemistry. These small conferences (100 tol50 participants) now take place outside the U.S., even in China, and provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in specialty areas... 

In China, the daily discharge of wastewater and solid wastes by large and medium enterprises has reached 80million tons and 1 million tons, respectively. In Beijing alone, there are 5,700 industrial enterprises, many of which release toxic wastes. Altogether, they produce about 1 million m per day of contaminated wastewater,... 

Some information relating to the annual total emission quantity of wastewater, effluent gases and industrial solid waste were provided in the 1992 China Environment-Statistical Bulletin. For example, the annual tot emission quantity of wastewater was 36.6 billion tonnes (except for rural and town enterprises, etc.) industrial effluent wastewater was 23.9 biUion tonnes the annual total emission quantity of effluent gases resulting from fuel combustion was 1050 billion m, including smoke 14.14 billion tonnes sulfur dioxide was...
