Please help with my research
Home New Posts

dmbraun -

I recently graduated and I was hoping you could help me with research that I am doing for a new
community website that will be available in East Asia. The website will be designed for
college-age computer programmers/developers to discuss current events, new technologies, and just
about anything they want to discuss. I wanted to know any connotations or meanings that Chinese
people might get from the English word "spoke." We are using spoke as in hub and spoke to connect
people. What is the translation? What would a Chinese person think of when they heard the word
"spoke" or �the spoke.� In slang what does �spoke� mean? Especially, do you think any negative
connotations could be derived from the sound, spelling, or translation of the word? Any help would
be much appreciated.

It's too awkward. The Chinese simply won't get it despite the fact that more than half the country
rides bikes to work. :?
Instead of 'spoke', try "fresh" instead. ("xian" if you are going to use the Chinese character,
otherwise avoid the pinyin and just use the English word "Fresh") This word is used in Chinese
slang much as it is in America and has an appropriate connotation for your web site's theme. :idea:
You always have to start from the Chinese perspective when you play around with brand names and
corresponding translations. What sounds cool in English often makes no sense whatsoever when
translated into Chinese. Try something that sounds cool or clever in Chinese first and then see
what the English looks like and make modifications from there.

Boeing to continue investment in China

www.chinanews.cn 2006-07-18 17:09:38

(Source: Xinhua)

July 18 - Boeing will continue its investment in China in the next two
decades to ensure its status as a major provider of commercial airplanes
to China, the company's senior official said in an interview with Xinhua
on Monday.
In Boeing's 2006 Current Market Outlook released last Wednesday, the U.S.
plane maker projects a need for approximately 27,200 new commercial
airplanes worldwide, and the Asia-Pacific region is believed to be the
largest market, Larry Dickenson, the senior vice president of sales for
Boeing Commercial Airplanes told Xinhua at the Farnborough International
Airshow in southern England.
"Our advantages are, if we have advantages... that we have been working
in China for 34 years," Dickenson said, adding the Boeing has helped
train about 15,000 Chinese professionals in maintenance, piloting and
executive training.
"We look at China as a strategic partner force. And its airline has
matured, and continues to grow primarily with Boeing equipment and Boeing
training. So we are going to work with China as a partner," Dickenson
said.
"We believe that as our products become more and more competitive, there
is no reason to believe that we should not be, continue to be the major
provider of airplanes to China in the future," said Dickenson.
When asked about whether Boeing is considering building an assembly line
in China just like its competitor Airbus, Dickenson said Boeing was
probably not going to change its strategy towards China, and it would
continue to invest in China in the areas of spare parts manufacturing,
maintenance, repair and air traffic control.

Chinese Lesson - Huge trade surplus exposed imbalance of domestic economy

Huge trade surplus exposed imbalance of domestic economy

www.chinanews.cn 2006-07-13 11:30:08

Chinanews, July 12 - China's trade surplus rose to a monthly record high
of $14.5 billion in June after reaching $13 billion in May, up 49% from
the corresponding period of the last year.
Experts said the major reason for the huge trade surplus is the imbalance
of domestic demand -- the unmatching of domestic saving and investment
structure in China. The flowing of productive elements across the
countries in the background of the globalisition is another important
reason.
Mei Xinyu, an expert at the Institute of International Economic and Trade
Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said that the country's trade
surplus was the result of the macro-economy trend and international
production transfer of the United States, the European Union and other
major trade partners. Both the US and EU's macro-economies have witnessed
an upward trend, while their international production has kept
transfering to China and their products mix kept upgrading. It thus has
inevitably driven China's export growth.
The Chinese government has moved to reduce the huge trade surplus. The
country is quickening the adjustment of economic structure, changing the
growth mode of foreign trade and encouraging domestic consumption. It has
revised several export policies and provided preferential credit for
certain imported goods to encourage the companies' importing.
But it is difficult to make domestic demand the major driving force of
the economic growth and reduce the trade surplus in a short period. Mei
said there were some conflicts between the effort of curbing the trade
surplus and the economic growth and between the sufficient employment and
the goal of improving the industrial structure.
The increase of investments by wide margins will make the situation of
excessive production capability become worse, while consumption increase
should depend on the improvement of the income allocation pattern and the
social security system--both of which, however, can not be achieved
overnight.

Chinese language - How long can DINK continue to be childless?

How long can DINK continue to be childless?

www.chinanews.cn 2006-07-01 15:06:55

Chinanews, Beijing, June 30 - China's DINK class (Double Income No Kids)
began more than twenty years ago. Just when people are beginning to
acknowledge and accept the existence of DINK families, DINKs themselves
began to regret their choices and one can observe the phenomenon of
"post-35 childbearing"��DINK women after passing 35 realizing that if
they were to postpone having children they might never become mothers. Or
they realize that without children in their midst, their flat marital
life would drift towards isolated quietude and therefore they gave up
their DINK lifestyle.
Chunmei, 43 years old, is professional manager with a son 2 years and six
months old. She said she originally chose to be a DINK. When she
accidentally became pregnant and was told that she might never conceive
again if she chose to abort the fetus, she made the decision to have the
child.
Wen Yu, 41 years old, is free-lance writer with a two-year old daughter.
She said she chose DINK to begin with but realized her choice required
much courage because many people could not understand her decision and
were talking behind her back. After toughing it for eight years she could
not hold on and also realized if she persisted she would never have a
chance to choose to bring a new life to this world. She gave up and gave
in.
The emergence in China of the phenomenon of a return of DINK family to
tradition is caused by different psychological frame of mind induced by
different age groups. Accelerated societal competition made it easy for
people to feel hatred and anxiety, resulting in loss of psychological
balance. Only a triangular family model can form stability, can build a
platform to bear and neutralize these negative psychological feelings. A
healthy, complete and happy family is man's heaven and woman's Eden.

Labor cost rise in China will ignite a worldwide inflation

www.chinanews.cn 2006-06-20 10:58:34

Chinanews, Beijing, Jun. 20 �CMorgan Stanley chief economist Xie Guozhong
recently predicted that China would become a source country to start the
next round of global inflation, which would be signified by a major
commodity price hike resulting from rising labor cost in China and higher
production cost pushed up by China��s implementation of a stricter
environmental protection standard.
The rising production cost will soon make Walmart, the world��s largest
retailer, frown. As China is now implementing stricter environmental
protection standards and the country is brewing a salary raise for
workers, production cost will soon rise and the 7-dollar woolen sweater
will become a thing of the past.
Expensive labor cost, stricter environmental protection standards and the
rise of raw materials prices will make the inflation bubble become bigger
and bigger in China. As the production cost rises in China, commodity
price for products such as toys, clothes, electronics and other exported
products will soon rise inevitably.
As Chinese government tries to boost domestic consumption by raising
workers�� salaries, the production cost of export goods in
labor-intensive industries, such as textiles, will soon go up. Export
goods in labor-intensive industries account for 30% of China��s total
export. The price of export goods will also be raised as China implements
a stricter environmental protection standard, which in turn will push up
the price of some chemical goods.
It is expected that China��s production cost rise will push up the U.S.
inflation rate by 0.5 percentage point, and the global inflation rate by
0.7 percentage point every year.
In fact, price hike has already taken place in many Asian countries now.
The latest statistics released by the U.S. Department of Labor shows that
last May, the average imported commodity price from Asia and the Pacific
region (including China) already rose by 0.2 percentage point.
Statistics from the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU), with its
headquarters based in London, shows that in 2005, the average labor cost
in China already climbed to 1.36 US dollars per hour, up 72% from 2001.
EIU predicts that such labor cost will keep rising in the future, and by
2010, it will be twice the present figure, although by then, the minimum
labor cost in China will still be 4 percentage points lower than that in
the United States.
At present, local governments in at least five provinces in China say
that they plan to raise the minimum salary for workers. Large cities like
Shanghai and Guangzhou also plan to increase the minimum salary. This
shows that pay raise has already started in China.

Trains running on Qinghai-Tibet Rail Line ready for use

www.chinanews.cn 2006-06-14 17:45:29

Chinanews, Qingdao, Jun. 14 �C Trains that are made for running on the
Qinghai-Tibet Rail Line were released from their manufacturer, the CSR
Sifang Locomotive and Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. on Tuesday. After a trial
use, the 169 trains will start working on July 1st when the line is
formally kicked off.
As the world's highest and longest railway line, the Qinghai-Tibet
Railway runs through places characterized with less oxygen, frozen soil,
strong ultraviolet radiation, and constant weather changes. The tough
geographical conditions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau require that trains
running on it should also have some special functions not seen in
passenger trains that run on plains.
Compared with trains on plains, the trains designed to run on plateaus
involve many technology innovations. To counter the discomfort that
people experience when traveling on the plateau, the trains are installed
with two kinds of oxygen supplying systems that can provide additional
oxygen either through a ventilation system, that can raise the oxygen
density to 23.5-25% in the cabin, or through individual masks that have a
higher 40-45% oxygen density.
To protect the ecological environment on the plateau, the trains boast
��zero garbage disposal��. All the rubbish and waste water on board will
be collected and discharged together.
Meanwhile, the trains are decorated with patterns typically seen in
Tibetan art and culture. Colors such as Tibetan yellow and Tibetan red
are frequently used to show the trains' distinctive regional feature.
Insiders say that production of these trains signifies that China's
locomotive production has climbed to a new level.

Xuzhou City's Han Dynasty Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses Museum. It will
present the panorama of the Han Dynasty terra-cotta warriors and horses
pit to the world. In 2005, the Xuzhou Municipal Government decided to
build an underwater museum on the site of two cavalry pits. The
underwater museum is composed of two cup-shaped buildings in the east and
west. The west exhibition hall displays the original appearance of the
Pit No. 5 while the east hall showcases the battle array of the Han
Dynasty cavalry as well as China's ancient cavalry corps.

Tomb appears on Olympic venue construction site

www.chinanews.cn 2006-05-09 14:40:46

Chinanews, May 9 - A tomb group was dug out at the construction site of
the shooting range for the 2008 Olympic Games, putting the construction
on hold for the time being. The tombs are waiting for a further check,
which will be done by professionals from the Ministry of Culture at a
later time. If the tombs prove to have historical value, some other
location for the Olympic shooting range will be chosen.
The tombs are located at the west Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. At present,
an archeological institute has already marked the area off for further
research
From the scale of a tomb, archeologists guessed that the tomb owner might
be an influential official, possibly a eunuch in the former imperial
palace. From the unearthed copper coins and tiles experts concluded that
the tomb should have been built during the Wanli reign period (1573
-1620) in the Ming Dynasty.
