Présentation de Shanghai
Tout d’abord visitons un peu Shanghai.
Pour ce qui est du climat, il fait très chaud et très humide l’été mais des le mois de septembre il fait bon, pour finir par des températures négative l’hiver.
Se Déplacer à Shanghai….
Il y a 2 moyens principaux pour un occidental qui arrive a Shanghai de se déplacer, le Taxi et le Metro.
Le Taxi….
Il y a à peu près 43 000 Taxis à Shanghai. La plus part sont des Wolskvagen Santanas.
La course commence à 11 Rmb de jour et 14 Rmb la nuit. C’est le prix des trois premier kilomètres et ensuite ajouté 2 yuan par kiomètres.
Il y a beaucoup de Taxis à Shanghai, mais aux heures de pointes il est parfois difficile d’en trouver un et l’on voit de longues queues aux bornes de Taxi…
Il faut parfois attendre une heure pour réussir a en attrapper un.
Il y a aussi beaucoup de motars qui vous proposerons de vous enmener en Moto si vous etes seul. Ca peut etre intéressant mais attention. Tout d’abord il ne faut pas avoir peur et ensuite négocier la course avant de monter, surtout si vous etes blanc. Ces taxis motos sont illégaux mais peuvent etre très pratique et vous faire gagner beaucoup de temps aux Rush Hours.
Je n’ai jusqu’a présent rencontré aucun chauffeur qui parle anglais, veillez donc a bien prononcer votre adresse en PinYin ou a avoir en note votre adresse en caractères chinois.
Quelques mots indispensables pour prendre le Taxi à Shanghai:
You guai : Tournez à droite
Zou guai : Tournez à gauche
Yi Zhi Zou: tout droit
Le metro…
Il est rapide et permet d’éviter les pertes de temps duent au trafic.
Un billet coute entre 2 et 6 Rmb soit entre 0,2 et 0,6 euros.
Quelques scenes de vies…
Le matin sur la route du travail.
Tout sur la Chine...
Background:
For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation.
After World War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled.
For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.

overview: China's economy during the last quarter century has changed from a centrally planned system that was largely closed to international trade to a more market-oriented economy that has a rapidly growing private sector and is a major player in the global economy.
Reforms started in the late 1970s with the phasing out of collectivized agriculture, and expanded to include the gradual liberalization of prices, fiscal decentralization, increased autonomy for state enterprises, the foundation of a diversified banking system, the development of stock markets, the rapid growth of the non-state sector, and the opening to foreign trade and investment. China has generally implemented reforms in a gradualist or piecemeal fashion.
The process continues with key moves in 2005 including the sale of equity in China's largest state banks to foreign investors and refinements in foreign exchange and bond markets. The restructuring of the economy and resulting efficiency gains have contributed to a more than tenfold increase in GDP since 1978.
Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis, China in 2005 stood as the second-largest economy in the world after the US, although in per capita terms the country is still lower middle-income and 150 million Chinese fall below international poverty lines. Economic development has generally been more rapid in coastal provinces than in the interior, and there are large disparities in per capita income between regions. The government has struggled to: (a) sustain adequate job growth for tens of millions of workers laid off from state-owned enterprises, migrants, and new entrants to the work force; (b) reduce corruption and other economic crimes; and (c) contain environmental damage and social strife related to the economy's rapid transformation.
From 100 to 150 million surplus rural workers are adrift between the villages and the cities, many subsisting through part-time, low-paying jobs. One demographic consequence of the "one child" policy is that China is now one of the most rapidly aging countries in the world.
Another long-term threat to growth is the deterioration in the environment - notably air pollution, soil erosion, and the steady fall of the water table, especially in the north. China continues to lose arable land because of erosion and economic development.
China has benefited from a huge expansion in computer Internet use, with more than 100 million users at the end of 2005. Foreign investment remains a strong element in China's remarkable expansion in world trade and has been an important factor in the growth of urban jobs. In July 2005, China revalued its currency by 2.1% against the US dollar and moved to an exchange rate system that references a basket of currencies.
Reports of shortages of electric power in the summer of 2005 in southern China receded by September-October and did not have a substantial impact on China's economy. More power generating capacity is scheduled to come on line in 2006 as large scale investments are completed. Thirteen years in construction at a cost of $24 billion, the immense Three Gorges Dam across the Yangtze River will be essentially completed in 2006 and will revolutionize electrification and flood control in the area.
The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in October 2005 approved the draft 11th Five-Year Plan and the National People's Congress is expected to give final approval in March 2006. The plan calls for a 20% reduction in energy consumption per unit of GDP by 2010 and an estimated 45% increase in GDP by 2010.
The plan states that conserving resources and protecting the environment are basic goals, but it lacks details on the policies and reforms necessary to achieve these goals.

Disputes - international: in 2005, China and India began drafting principles to resolve all aspects of their extensive boundary and territorial disputes together with a security and foreign policy dialogue to consolidate discussions related to the boundary, regional nuclear proliferation, and other matters; recent talks and confidence-building measures have begun to defuse tensions over Kashmir, site of the world's largest and most militarized territorial dispute with portions under the de facto administration of China (Aksai Chin), India (Jammu and Kashmir), and Pakistan (Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas); India does not recognize Pakistan's ceding historic Kashmir lands to China in 1964; about 90,000 ethnic Tibetan exiles reside primarily in India as well as Nepal and Bhutan; China asserts sovereignty over the Spratly Islands together with Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and possibly Brunei; the 2002 "Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea" has eased tensions in the Spratlys but is not the legally binding "code of conduct" sought by some parties; Vietnam and China continue to expand construction of facilities in the Spratlys and in March 2005, the national oil companies of China, the Philippines, and Vietnam signed a joint accord on marine seismic activities in the Spratly Islands; China occupies some of the Paracel Islands also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan; China and Taiwan have become more vocal in rejecting both Japan's claims to the uninhabited islands of Senkaku-shoto (Diaoyu Tai) and Japan's unilaterally declared equidistance line in the East China Sea, the site of intensive hydrocarbon prospecting; certain islands in the Yalu and Tumen rivers are in an uncontested dispute with North Korea and a section of boundary around Mount Paektu is considered indefinite; China seeks to stem illegal migration of tens of thousands of North Koreans; China and Russia prepare to demarcate the boundary agreed to in October 2004 between the long-disputed islands at the Amur and Ussuri; demarcation of the China-Vietnam boundary proceeds slowly and although the maritime boundary delimitation and fisheries agreements were ratified in June 2004, implementation has been delayed; environmentalists in Burma and Thailand remain concerned about China's construction of hydroelectric dams upstream on the Nujiang/Salween River in Yunnan Province Refugees and internally displaced persons: refugees (country of origin): 299,287 (Vietnam) estimated 30,000-50,000 (North Korea) (2005) Trafficking in persons: current situation: China is a source, transit, and destination country for women, men, and children trafficked for purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor; the majority of trafficking in China is internal, but there is also international trafficking of Chinese citizens; women are lured through false promises of legitimate employment into commercial sexual exploitation in Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan; Chinese men and women are smuggled to countries throughout the world at enormous personal expense and then forced into commercial sexual exploitation or exploitative labor to repay debts to traffickers; women and children are trafficked into China from Mongolia, Burma, North Korea, Russia, and Vietnam for forced labor, marriage, and sexual slavery; most North Koreans enter northeastern China voluntarily, but others reportedly are trafficked into China from North Korea; domestic trafficking remains the most significant problem in China, with an estimated minimum of 10,000-20,000 victims trafficked each year; the actual number of victims could be much greater; some experts believe that the serious and prolonged imbalance in the male-female birth ratio may now be contributing to Chinese and foreign girls and women being trafficked as potential brides tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - China failed to show evidence of increasing efforts to address transnational trafficking; while the government provides reasonable protection to internal victims of trafficking, protection for Chinese and foreign victims of transnational trafficking remain inadequate Illicit drugs: major transshipment point for heroin produced in the Golden Triangle; growing domestic drug abuse problem; source country for chemical precursors and methamphetamine This page was last updated on 30 November, 2006

La Premiere Semaine à Shanghai...
Un soir, on se dit : Il faut créé ce blog. On se retrouve à trois de la meme école à Shanghai, on rigole bien...
essayons de le partager.
Commencons par les présentations
Antoine devant son ordi pour les premières pages du blog......
les filles, Anne et Margeaux, détendues en début de soirée
Arrivés à Shanghai en Chine il y a moins d'une semaine, voici la première aventure de ce blog ...
On se retrouve à 18 heures dans le centre de Shanghai et après un café au Starbuck, un repas chez les filles et un apéro à la bière chinoise, direction le Bar Rouge ou nous allons surement rencontrer des expatriés symphatiques à la recherche d'amusement, comme nous!
La bas, aucune alternative possible, Antoine insiste c'est une Belvédere obligatoire, une très bonne Vodka, son effet est magique, et cela sera de toute facon illustré un peu plus bas paren suivant notre périple nocturne... Quelques verres, quelques rires, et la soirée est partie !
...Ambiance
Quelques discussion professionelles ...
... parfois enflamées !
Quelques rencontres symphatiques...
...et d'autres moins.
Un stage c'est fait pour gonfler le cv,Ici une ligne de plus pour Margeaux:
- Construction d'une route en Chine parfaitement intégré à une équipe de travailleurs chinois.
...
...Pendant que Anne vie la lune de miele dont elle à toujours revée.
finalement tout le monde à faim et se concentre sur un défi, trouver le Mc Donalds le plus proche.
Ce matin la, ce fut une véritable chasse au trésor.Nous avons du procéder méthodiquement...
Tout d'abord, l'obsevation !
??...
Ensuite nous avons interogé les habitants du quartier...
Pas toujours facile de se comprendre,mais facile de s'aimer, simplement...
Et puis enfin ...
ninn hao ma! zai nar Mc Donald's ?
yi zhi zhou! You guai !
Yes, si elle dit vrai, c'est tout droit puis à droite.
Quelques pas encore, et un gros soulagement en apercevant un ami d'enfance, Ronald Mc Donald !
Dans le mc donald nous faisons preuve d'interessement en vers la culture chinoise, surtout en ce qui concerne les rots a vrai dire...
Au boulot aussi ca se passe tres bien Shanghai...
.....
Mais c'est surtout pour le soir, qu'il fallait etre au top de sa forme, nous avions rendez vous avec un certain Hu Zukui, que nous avions rencontrer dans les bars branchés de Shanghai.
Plusieurs rumeurs tournaient sur Mr Hu
. Certains l'assimilaient à la Mafia de Shanghai et le pensait dangeureux !
D'autres pensaient qu 'il était le descendent unique du Président Chinois qui n'est autre que "Mr Hu"
Nous n'en savions rien mais en tout cas l'enjeu était énorme !!
Tout le monde montraient son plus beau profil.
Mais des que Mr Hu avait le dos tourné...
...les souries dansent
Nous flatons un peu Mr Hu avec nos plus grands sourires ...
...Il en est très flaté, presque meme géné.
Finalement après un Couscous sur une très belle térasse de Shanghai et pas mal de flateries.
Mr Hu se lache un peu et nous explique qu'il bosse pour deux boites, une à Londres qui l'envoie ici, une autre à Hong Kong, pour laquelle il travaille jour et nuit. Ses collaborateurs étaient allemands je crois, enfin je ne me rapelle pas de tout, mais c'était bien compliqué tout ca.
En tout cas toutes ces rumeurs, ces mystéres font de Mr Hu un personnage intrigant ...
Avec ses 3 téléphones, son aisance en chinois, en anglais, en français, en allemand..., ses cigarettes européennes, et surtout avec son pouvoir d'achat impressionnant, Mr Hu avait du style, beaucoup de style meme quand il était en ville.
C'est donc sans hésiter que nous acceptons son invitation a boire un dernier verre dans sa suite.
Mais au bout d'un moment Mr Hu n'en peut plus, il nous salut alors et nous souhaite une bonne nuit selon les coutumes de son pays ...
Meme pour le taxi du lendemain matin, Hu Zukui avait tout prévu, ...
