Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it goes a famous saying by Confucius. My wish in writing this paper is to convince readers of the peculiar beauty and importance of the highly dynamic aviation landscape of the southern Chinese Pearl River Delta. Airfreight is an essential and highly sophisticated part of an economy s logistics infrastructure. A functioning infrastructure is vital for the development of an economy, in particular for its international trade. As trade is a key component in China s economic success formula, demand for an efficient infrastructure is high. Air transportation has become one of the most effective tools to explore and serve world markets. In today s highly competitive business world, just-in-time delivery and good customer service are absolutely crucial. The overall trend towards fast reliable delivery and the transformation of China s economy along with the value chain of production, have boosted demand for air transportation. Due to these developments, the air cargo market, which is still at low levels particularly in domestic transportation, is one of the fastest growing markets in China. The regional focus of this study is on the economic powerhouse of China, the Pearl River Delta (PRD) located in the southern province of Guangdong. Everyone who knows the highly industrialised landscape of the PRD would probably agree, that the region s nickname factory of the world is more than appropriate. The PRD has the highest per capita output in China and generates about one third of national exports. The Greater Pearl River Delta (GPRD) consists of the PRD and the Special Administrative Zones Hong Kong and Macao. In many respects, it is one of the most interesting economic entities of the world. Economy and infrastructure are integrated on a very high level. The GPRD features many extremes: its strong economic power, its rapid growth that has been the highest in China for many years, its population density and last but not least, its aviation landscape. Within radial distance of about 100 km, five international airports are at service, creating the highest airport density in the world. Three of these airports are among China s top five airports. The clear leader among them is Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), which has established itself as a major hub in Asia and has been the airport with the highest international air cargo throughput of the world for many years. Its dominant [...]

Its dominant counterpart for domestic traffic is located some 100 km north in the very heart of the PRD, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (GBIA). The strong air cargo business of HKIA, that is largely fed by PRD freight has been watched closely by Mainland administrations. Liberalised air traffic policy in recent years has rapidly expanded China's own interna

Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Express Air Cargo Development in the Pearl River Delta Region - Present and Future Submitted by Winnie, Tang Yee-Man for the degree of Master of Arts in Transport Policy and Planning at the University of Hong Kong in June 2007 Express Air Cargo industry or more commonly called Express Delivery Services (EDS) was originated in the United States during the late 1960s in response to the increasing demand for fast and reliable document delivery services. The industry grew rapidly after the deregulation of the U.S. air cargo industry in the late 1970s. The advent of the internet in the 1990s and the increasing demand from manufacturers and retailers for just-in-time (JIT) delivery caused the EDS companies' business expansion to include small parcels and freight services. As a result, the service network of the global players keep on expanding within US domestic and ultimately extending to the international markets. EDS companies, in particular the global players, set their foot on China soil during 1980s when China adopted economic reform and open door policy to the world markets. However, foreign companies desire to setup their China business establishment were required to signed Joint Venture agency agreements with a Chinese investor. Most often the partner investor was either a state-owned enterprise (eg. Sinotrans is the joint venture partner of DHL) or a private-owned enterprise (eg. Tianjin Datian W. Group Co., Ltd - Federal Express JV partner). In December 2006, China marks the fifth anniversary of its accession to the World Trade Organization "WTO," it is now possible for logistic, freight forwarding and EDS companies to set up their wholly foreign-owned enterprise independently in China. As China is gradually opening the logistic market to the world, this paper aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of Express Delivery Services industry and how the companies operate in the Pearl River Delta region under the current China Postal regulatory framework. The recent proposed postal reform has ignited a lot of debates and issues among the industry players and various government bodies. We will review in this dissertation its impact to the present and future development of this fastest growing industry in the new-age China.

Abstract: Abstract of Dissertation entitled "Air Cargo Industry in Hong Kong" Submitted by So Miu Sang For the degree of Master of Art in Transport Policy and Planning at the University of Hong Kong in June 2004 Given the excellent geographic and strategic location of the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), cargo has become one of the important industries in Hong Kong's overall economy. Hong Kong's market has seen a remarkable growth. It has averaged 11.2% per annum growth since 1992 and exceeded 2.6 million tones in 2003. The opening of Hong th Kong's new airport at Chek Lap Kok on 6 July 1998 marked a significant improvement in the quality and capacity of Hong Kong's aviation facilities, paving the way for a strong growth in passenger and cargo traffic. It has strengthened Hong Kong's position as an air cargo hub in the Asia Pacific Region and as the gateway to China. Moreover, under the "One Country, Two System" arrangement, Hong Kong is highly conducive to closer economic partnership with the Chinese Mainland. More opportunities will be given to Hong Kong. However, the rapid change of economic environment, development of new airports in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and Asia Region's airports and the growing of Mainland China traffic have created a great threat to Hong Kong International Airport. This dissertation aims to provide a review of Hong Kong's air cargo industry and the development trends in the industry, and to analyze the competitive edge of Hong Kong International Airport as an air cargo hub in the Asia Pacific Region as well as the Pearl River Delta. It will also suggest strategies for strengthening Hong Kong's position as the leading hub and express cargo hub in Asia.

Download or read book Developing China The Remarkable Impact of Foreign Direct Investment written by Michael J. Enright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important features of China’s economic emergence has been the role of foreign investment and foreign companies. The importance goes well beyond the USD 1.6 trillion in foreign direct investment that China has received since it started opening its economy. Using the tools of economic impact analysis, the author estimates that around one-third of China’s GDP in recent years has been generated by the investments, operations, and supply chains of foreign invested companies. In addition, foreign companies have developed industries, created suppliers and distributors, introduced modern technologies, improved business practices, modernized management training, improved sustainability performance, and helped shape China’s legal and regulatory systems. These impacts have helped China become the world’s second largest economy, its leading exporter, and one of its leading destinations for inward investment. The book provides a powerful analysis of China’s policies toward foreign investment that can inform policy makers around the world, while giving foreign companies tools to demonstrate their contributions to host countries and showing the tremendous power of foreign investment to help transform economies.

Download or read book The Chinese City written by Weiping Wu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on years of research experience and keen observations of the triumphs and problems in China’s cities, the authors provide a foundational understanding of China’s urbanization and cities that is grounded in history and geography and challenges readers to consider Chinese urbanization through multiple disciplinary and thematic lenses. This book is anchored in the spatial sciences, including geography, urban studies, urban planning, and environmental studies. It offers a comprehensive survey of the evolving urban landscape, covering such topics as history and patterns of urbanization, spatial and regional context, models of urban form, economic and social-spatial transformation, urbanism and cultural dynamics, housing and land development, environmental and infrastructure issues, poverty and inequality, and challenges of urban governance. The book highlights both parallels and substantive differences between China and comparable cities and countries elsewhere, given that some urban conditions around the world converge and point to shared catalysts (e.g. internal migration) and globally linked processes (e.g. climate change). It explores the consequences of the demographic, economic, social, and environmental transitions on cities and urban dwellers. Illustrated case studies in each chapter ground the discussion and introduce readers to the diversity of cities and urban life in China. Most chapters also can be used as stand-alone course materials, with suggested references for further reading. Intended for a wide audience in higher education and beyond, this book will be useful to readers interested in Chinese Studies, East Asian Studies, Urban Studies, Urban Geography, or Urban Planning.

Download or read book Air Cargo in Mainland China and Hong Kong written by Anming Zhang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air traffic and the aviation industry have grown rapidly on the Chinese mainland in the two and a half decades since China's open door policy. Accession to the WTO will further stimulate trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), intensifying the demand for air cargo services. It will also open up the Chinese economy to foreign participation in the transportation and logistics sectors, making these sectors more competitive and efficient. This book provides a systematic and comprehensive study of China's air cargo industry as well as its policy evolution. It covers the sources and destinations of air cargo in mainland China and Hong Kong: whence it comes and where it goes to. The major hubs of the transportation network - Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou - are discussed one by one. The virtual aspects of the network at these hubs in terms of IT applications, preparedness, and needs are examined and compared. Though the subject matter of this book is air cargo, there is considerable coverage of the aviation industry and policy on the mainland and Hong Kong. Changes have been happening so fast there are few books and publications that cover them systematically and comprehensively. Readership includes business executives in airfreight companies, airports and airlines, logistics specialists, aviation university lecturers and students.
