OUR CORRESPONDENTS HAVE VISITED THE DEEP CHINESE PROVINCE
SICHUAN.
- kitaistam by training - for a long time it would be time to authors of these lines
To get used to scales of the population of the Peoples Republic of China. But figures all the same
Amaze imagination: every fifth person on a planet - the Chinese,
One only "makeweight" to billion population of this country twice
Most of all the population of Russia. Accordingly and many Chinese
Provinces, their main cities well matched in this respect the large
To the states and world capitals.
In a province Sichuan where we were visitors of trade unions, live
85,5 million persons - more than in the largest West European
To the country of Germany. And with the 10-million centre of a province a city
Chengdu in all Europe can be compared only Moscow.
From Beijing we flied to Chengdu on "Boeing" two with superfluous hour. In
Salon there were no empty seats. Still about 20 years ago an air transport in
China the heads - and that for state used basically
The bill. Now - also it is an obvious sign of the increased well-being
People - planes ordinary Chineses fly "laobajsin", i.e.
The airport in Chengdu, as well as air terminals in other large
Country cities, - new, it is equipped on the world standards,
Sparkles cleanliness, in all the strict order is felt (to smoke in
Huge air terminal it is forbidden).
Leaving in a city, we have felt at once its scales and dynamism.
Streets are filled by cars, over a city landscape dominate
Many-storeyed houses of modern architecture with signboards of the companies and
Banks. We see, that there is a big inhabited building. Later
Have learnt, that on one townspeople here it is necessary 10,9 sq. metres
Floor space - on 1,3 sq. metres more than on the average in
The Chinese cities. In Chengdu it is a lot of greens. Not without reason the city has won
Rank of exemplary model in business of improvement ecological and
Sanitary conditions.
The such has appeared before us most that on there is a Chinese
Remote places: from here a hand a tax to Tibet, and from southern limits
Sichuan to one of the most deaf areas of the world - northern Myanma
200 km there are more (Burma).
- In what hotel we will stop? - Have taken an interest at
Whether met us the Jing - the vice-president provincial
Federations of trade unions.
- Surprise! - have heard the mysterious answer.
We were expected really by something unusual: the hotel was called
Native word "Katjusha". It flaunted on the big signboard on -
kitajski, in Russian and in English. The high building was crowned with two
lukovki in style of orthodox churches. Before an input in the middle
Flower bed - the present installation zalpovogo fire, the truth, on
The chassis of the off-road car copied from our "GAZ car".
Corresponding to the name of hotel the surroundings proceeds in
Lobby - there the whole opening day of the Russian landscapes. One restaurant
In hotel "Moscow" (here a Chinese cuisine), is called as the second -
"St.-Petersburg" (kitchen European). Even the sauna is called
In Russian: "Volga". Speak, shortly before our arrival in
Hotel variety show sang and danced Russians. But with Russian
Melodies here do not leave - they sound from dinamikov on all
To hotel. And not any worn out in the West "Eyes black", and
"Spinner", "Ural rjabinushka", "the Song about the coachman" and, of course,
"Katjusha".
In days when we were in Sichuan, in Chengdu there passed the international
Economic forum on problems of development of the western regions Peoples Republics of China.
It is made the corner-stone in the national plan for the nearest
10 - 20 years. Means to tighten these internal areas
The countries to level more developed seaside, for a long time the chosen
Foreign investors. Representatives participated in a forum
The largest corporations of the world, including such giants, as
"Microsoft", "Shell", "Boeing", "Siemens", etc. Was there and
The delegation of the World bank which has notified on allocation during
Three years not less than one billion dollars on realisation
Projects in the western Chinese provinces.
Chengdu have been chosen by a place of carrying out of so impressive forum
Because the province is considered Sichuan one of the leading centres
Such branches, as the aerospace industry, nuclear
Power, optiko-fiber communication, bioengineering and chemistry
Polymers. Today 43 universities here are and
College, and the number of technical officers has exceeded 1,2
Million persons. Gross national product of this province has reached in 1998 358,03 billion
Yuans (more than 40 billion dollars) - vpjatero more than prior to the beginning
Reforms 20 years ago.
Present gross national product of Sichuan is comparable with this indicator for Slovakia,
Bulgaria, it twice exceeds gross national product of Cuba and the North Korea. In
Last year a total volume of contract foreign investments in
Province economy has exceeded 13,3 billion dollars, from which
It is really enclosed already 6, 8 billion dollars. Here settle down
Branches of such world famous firms, as
"Ah-bi-em", "Tojota" and many other things. And all in a province
Operate today an order of 5200 enterprises with participation
The foreign capital.
Within the limits of the program of development of the western regions Peoples Republics of China in Sichuan
Plans to concentrate the basic efforts to arrangement
Infrastructures. The province namerena to fix leadership in
Conversion branches for the bill increasing capacities
The aerospace industry. The big place in realisation of these
Plans it is taken away to participation of business circles from abroad -
The provincial authorities have promulgated the list of 225 projects
(Mainly - in infrastructure sphere), providing
Essential privileges for foreign business.
Here and to the Russian businessmen to be connected to any
From these projects. But Russians, unfortunately, was not on mentioned
The international economic forum in Chengdu. Also it turns out, that
"Russian spirit" in capital of Sichuan is only symbolically designated
Hotel "п п я я я п ". However, for the sake of justice we will specify: in
Chengdus work some our teachers of Russian, on
A number of the enterprises - experts from the Russian Federation, are here and Russian
Students. This handful of compatriots it is safely possible to name
Enthusiasts - under their initiative in Chengdu create the Russian Center
Language and culture. Certainly, to it one such business to lift difficultly, and
In our embassy in Beijing hope, that the information in "Work" about
Patriotic initiative of the Russian citizens in far Chengdu will call
The response at possible sponsors in Russia (are required first of all
The corresponding literature and manuals).
From a city of Chengdu, which for a soft climate and an abundance
Cultural-historical sights Chineses name
"A paradise monastery", our way laid on the south - in mountainous district
Leshan where hospitable owners from local trade unions promised
Meetings with workers of two industrial enterprises of different forms
