    (111023) -- HANGZHOU, Oct. 23, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Packages pile up on the ground outside Sijixingzuo building in Hangzhou City, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, Oct. 16, 2011. Sijixingzuo is an office building where many cyber-shop owners run their business.
    In recent years, electronic commerce in China embraced the spring of prosperity, which gave rise to the express delivery companies' business spurt.
    According to the statistics released by the State Post Bureau of China, the average daily business volume of express delivery reached 10 million in 2010, which is 1,000 times compared with 1990. And in the first nine month of 2011, the express delivery companies above designated scale finished 2.52 billion deliveries, with a total income of 53.14 billion yuan (8.33 billion U.S. dollars), growing by 53.3 percent year on year and 28.9 percent year on year respectively.
    By the time the seven major express delivery providers, including state owned Express Mail Service (EMS) and private enterprise Shunfeng (SF), Shentong (STO), Zhongtong (ZTO), Yuantong (YTO) and Yunda, making good fortunes, the whole industry, with a total of some 6,800 companies, are facing a series of challenges.
    The fast-growing industry attracted large numbers of people to participate in, however, under the pressure of rising costs and fierce competition, the quality of their services has become a target of public criticism. The complaints of the whole industry of delayed, damaged and missing mails frequently pop up on the online forum and microblogs. From last September on, Yuantong, Shunfeng and Zhongtong raised their prices to tackle the ever-increasing costs.
    Besides the intensive competition between native-born express delivery companies, some of the international service providers such as FedEx, UPS, DHL and TNT are also taking shares of the market. Those companies take 80 percent of the international express delivery business in China. However, due to the rea

    (BRIDGING WE)CHINA-EXPRESS DELIVERY (CN)
    (111023) -- HANGZHOU, Oct. 23, 2011 (Xinhua) -- A deliveryman carries a package outside Sijixingzuo building in Hangzhou City, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, Oct. 16, 2011. Sijixingzuo is an office building where many cyber-shop owners run their business.
    In recent years, electronic commerce in China embraced the spring of prosperity, which gave rise to the express delivery companies' business spurt.
    According to the statistics released by the State Post Bureau of China, the average daily business volume of express delivery reached 10 million in 2010, which is 1,000 times compared with 1990. And in the first nine month of 2011, the express delivery companies above designated scale finished 2.52 billion deliveries, with a total income of 53.14 billion yuan (8.33 billion U.S. dollars), growing by 53.3 percent year on year and 28.9 percent year on year respectively.
    By the time the seven major express delivery providers, including state owned Express Mail Service (EMS) and private enterprise Shunfeng (SF), Shentong (STO), Zhongtong (ZTO), Yuantong (YTO) and Yunda, making good fortunes, the whole industry, with a total of some 6,800 companies, are facing a series of challenges.
    The fast-growing industry attracted large numbers of people to participate in, however, under the pressure of rising costs and fierce competition, the quality of their services has become a target of public criticism. The complaints of the whole industry of delayed, damaged and missing mails frequently pop up on the online forum and microblogs. From last September on, Yuantong, Shunfeng and Zhongtong raised their prices to tackle the ever-increasing costs.
    Besides the intensive competition between native-born express delivery companies, some of the international service providers such as FedEx, UPS, DHL and TNT are also taking shares of the market. Those companies take 80 percent of the international express delivery business in China. However, due to the re

    When China's FAW (First Auto Works) Group made China's first automobile in 1956, Chinese people could probably hardly image that they could own their own cars within a few decades.
    However In 2009, China overtook the United States as the world's largest auto market after vehicle sales hit 13.6 million units that year.
    Since China joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in 2001, its auto industry has experienced a major turning point and a fast growth.
    As abided by the WTO rule, China's tariff on imported cars dropped from some 80 percent in 2001 to an average of 13.4 percent currently. Such a move enabled an open and flourishing market in China.
    Accordingly decreasing car prices made more and more ordinary Chinese people able to afford their private cars and enjoy a lifestyle that once they could only image in western movies or advertisement.
    Among the cars sold, Chinese brands and its joint-ventures become a popular choice for its relatively higher cost performance.
    As stimulated by a booming demand, China's auto production saw a dramatic rise, from 2.07 million units in 2002 to 18 million units in 2010, a nine-time growth in the past nine years.
    In an open and high competitive market, some China's car makers realized the technological innovation could win them an edge in new eras. For example China FAW Group, one of the country's largest automakers, debuted two new hybrid bus models at the eighth China Automobile Fair currently held in Changchun this July.
    Also China's merging car makers are active to explore overseas markets as they try to dance with tide. On Oct. 8, 2011, China's JAC Motors announced it will invest 500 million U.S. dollars in its first overseas pl

    While Western telecommunications companies are undergoing performance decline in the global financial crisis, their Chinese counterpart, ZTE Corporation, has yet a better prospect to demonstrate: in 2010, the company made a revenue of 10.6 billion US dollars, 54 percent of which came from its overseas market. It also became the world's top patent applicant under the Patent Cooperation Treaty in the first quarter of 2011. To achieve such success, the Chinese telecommunications equipment maker and network solutions operator did two things: innovation and "go-global" strategy.
    Established in 1985 in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, ZTE Corporation has grown into a telecom giant with 15 R&D centers worldwide. The company has also founded 30 innovation centers with first-class operators in the world to realize its market- and client-oriented ideal. As part of the company's approach to innovation and intellectual property rights, ZTE puts 10 percent of its business income each year into R&D, with the investment totaling nearly 20 billion yuan (3.15 billion US dollars) in the past four years. Among the company's 80,000 employees, 30,000 are involved in innovation, with over 33,000 patents filed by the end of 2010.
    In 1996, ZTE started its "go-global" journey and set up footholds in Asia, now the company's largest overseas market. In two decades, it had set up branch offices in 96 countries and regions, thus roughly completing its worldwide distribution. In the first half of 2011, the proportion of the company's overseas earnings to the total revenue reached 56 percent, growing more than ten-fold compared to the 4 percent figure in 2001.
