China Environment

China has many factors that eliminate the environment

China cares about the problem of the environment. The government tries to improve the environment during the recent years. In addition, China is the country that had been rapidly increasing their forest because it is the main reason to improve the water pollution. China not only improve the environment but also made the new resources of energy. For example, China is the country that produces more wind turbines and solar panels than the other countries.

China forests cover only 20 percent of the country. However, there are many closed forest in the country. Now, 111 million hectares became the closed forests but around 7.7 million hectares is farm forests. Government spent more than 40 billion yuan to protect the forests.

On 1 June 2008, All supermarkets and shop are not able to give the free plastic bags. Government legislated the law about the plastic bag in 2008. If the consumers want the plastic bag, they should buy from the shop[not for free]. This law shows that government cares about the environment.

Thailand is also care about the environment problem but not much like China. We have many ads suggest Thai people to tajecare our environment. I like many ideas from many ads.

China cell phone and branded cell phone

China is the country that export the most fake cell phones. Last year, I brought a new mobile phone from China then I went to China. I remember that I brought a fake I-phone. The feature was look like the branded cell phone but the function in the mobile was made me crazy. It was slower than real I-Phone and there are many stupid functions. After that, I promised to myself that I will use only a real mobile phone. But how do we distinguish?

First, They make the moblie phones that is same features but the priceis lower that the market price. Secondly the part of the mobile phone chip, Branded mobile phones use a different chips that is specific to each model. But, fake mobile phones usually use same chips with other version of mobile phones. This are some infromation form my experience.

Last week, I went to China and I saw alot of fake mobile phone in China mobile market. It has many types such as Blackberry, I-phone and Nokia. I also saw new brands of Chinese mobile phones such as Strawberry, Blueberry and I-berry. However, outside features are the same as the branded mobile phones.

In Thailand, there are alot of fake mobile phone from China and copy some features from the branded mobile phones. So, when you have to buy a new mobile phone be sure that it is branded mobile phone.

The bullet train in China (Technology)

Two years ago, China began a train from Beijing and Tianjin. Beijing and Tianjin are two big cities of China, so there are important for China economic. The speed of the train is maximum 350 kilometers per hour. There use only half a hour to finish a round. Now, There are 50,000 passergers travel by using the bullet train from Beijing to Tianjin. So, this train is very important to the passengers that travel every day. There is a part of their life. The price is 2,500 yuan a month. I think is too expensive for the worker who always use this train. However, the Chinese government spent a lot of money to build and It doesn't make any profit to the government. It was 700 million yuan[$103 million]. To sum up, the train has brought a great deal of convenience to passengers.

In Thailand, we have the BTS train. Bangkok people usually use it when they travel to the middle of the city. For me, I always use BTS when I want to go to siam center because it is convenience and faster that using a bus.

Trading in China

As we know, trading with China is very important now. The most products that we use was made in China. Such as, mobile phone, television, radio. The most important transportation in china is shipping. China has more than 2,000 ports in their country. Examples of the important ports are Beihei, Dalian, Dandong and Shanghai. Sixteen major shipping ports in China have a capacity of 50 million tons per year. China was forwarded the goods more than Germany in 2009. That was the most trading in the world. By 2010, 35 percent of the world shipping is from China. Hong Kong is a major port trade center of China. However, some people said “China export very much of products but there are not strong enough in the world because of the products is really bad.

My parents also do the bussiness with China. They import the goods from China. They said it was not difficult to doing the business with China, but you should know Chinese well. That was the problem because I can't understand Chinese. However, I will try to learning Chinese.
