"Poverty" has been a long-time label for Xiji, Haiyuan and Tongxin counties of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, as the region has been afflicted by serious drought all the year -- average precipitation of merely 300 millimeters but more than 2,000 millimeters of evaporation almost every year. As early as 1972, these three counties were listed as inhospitable place to live by the United Nations.
Currently, 1.05 million people, about one-sixth of the total population of Ningxia, still live here, including 350,000 people in extreme poverty. The good news is that the local government has decided to pour 10.5 billion RMB yuan (1.64 billion U.S. dollars) in helping the villagers emigrate and cast off poverty as well.

(110819) -- TONGXIN, Aug. 19, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on Aug. 12, 2011 shows a herd of sheep scrambling to drink water in Jiefang Xinzhuang Village of Tongxin County, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Aug. 12, 2011.
"Poverty" has been a long-time label for Xiji, Haiyuan and Tongxin counties of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, as the region has been afflicted by serious drought all the year -- average precipitation of merely 300 millimeters but more than 2,000 millimeters of evaporation almost every year. As early as 1972, these three counties were listed as inhospitable place to live by the United Nations.
Currently, 1.05 million people, about one-sixth of the total population of Ningxia, still live here, including 350,000 people in extreme poverty. The good news is that the local government has decided to pour 10.5 billion RMB yuan (1.64 billion U.S. dollars) in helping the villagers emigrate and cast off poverty as well.

(BRIDGING WE)CHINA-WENZHOU-SHOEMAKER-EU MARKET (CN)
(110812) -- WENZHOU, Aug. 12, 2011 (Xinhua) -- A worker makes shoes at a workshop of the footwear company Aokang in Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, east China's Zhejiang Province, Aug. 11, 2011.
Stimulated by the European Union's (EU) removal of anti-dumping duties on China in April this year, shoemakers in the major footwear export base of Wenzhou have seen a barrage of orders from European customers. Instead of jumping at the offers, many of them chose to make a careful decision and have cautiously returned with a changed strategy of targeting mainly the EU's high-end markets.
The latest statistics from Wenzhou customs showed that from April to June, the city's shoe exports to EU have grown by 10.16 percent year-on-year to 56.96 million pairs, with the aggregate turnover rising by 35.26 percent year-on-year to 356 million U.S. dollars. However, compared to the first quarter, the exports volume declined by 4.83 percent while the turnover surged by 21.87 percent.
Jiang Xinghua, a supervisor for Aokang Footwear's international operations, told Xinhua that the sequential decline in second quarter exports volume indicates the "self-restraint" exercised by domestic shoemakers who hate to fall back on the low-price strategy that led to export restrictions for almost five years.
The 16.5-percent anti-dumping tariff on shoe exports originated from Wenzhou was imposed by the EU in October 2006. Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce showed that the EU's punitive action imposed from 2005 has made 20,000 people jobless and reduced China's footwear exports by 20 percent from 2006 to 2010.
Learning from the past, domestic shoemakers nowadays work harder to get familiar with the EU's laws on footwear exports and standardize their operations to create a sound foundation for China's shoe exports.

CHINA-WENZHOU-SHOEMAKER-EU MARKET (CN)
(110812) -- WENZHOU, Aug. 12, 2011 (Xinhua) -- A shoe designer makes models at the footwear company Aokang in Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, east China's Zhejiang Province, Aug. 11, 2011.
Stimulated by the European Union's (EU) removal of anti-dumping duties on China in April this year, shoemakers in the major footwear export base of Wenzhou have seen a barrage of orders from European customers. Instead of jumping at the offers, many of them chose to make a careful decision and have cautiously returned with a changed strategy of targeting mainly the EU's high-end markets.
The latest statistics from Wenzhou customs showed that from April to June, the city's shoe exports to EU have grown by 10.16 percent year-on-year to 56.96 million pairs, with the aggregate turnover rising by 35.26 percent year-on-year to 356 million U.S. dollars. However, compared to the first quarter, the exports volume declined by 4.83 percent while the turnover surged by 21.87 percent.
Jiang Xinghua, a supervisor for Aokang Footwear's international operations, told Xinhua that the sequential decline in second quarter exports volume indicates the "self-restraint" exercised by domestic shoemakers who hate to fall back on the low-price strategy that led to export restrictions for almost five years.
The 16.5-percent anti-dumping tariff on shoe exports originated from Wenzhou was imposed by the EU in October 2006. Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce showed that the EU's punitive action imposed from 2005 has made 20,000 people jobless and reduced China's footwear exports by 20 percent from 2006 to 2010.
Learning from the past, domestic shoemakers nowadays work harder to get familiar with the EU's laws on footwear exports and standardize their operations to create a sound foundation for China's shoe exports.
