Fury in the Slaughterhouse
Der ehemalige Shanghaier Schlachthof "1933" im Hongkou Distrikt wird in ein Mega-Kulturzentrum umgewandelt. 25.000 Quadratmeter sollen ab 2008 Künstler, Designer, Architekten, Planer und Modeschaffende beherbergen. Kein zweites Xintiandi soll entstehen, keine künstliche Klitsche mit angemalter Fassade, sondern roher Beton wird Zeugnis der bizarren Industriekultur der 30er Jahre sein.
Chef der Shanghaier Entwicklergruppe ist der charismatische Paul Liu, der bereits die Kultstätte "3 on the Bund" zu einem Mekka der Food- und Fashionbranche gemacht hat. Liu gehört zu der Investorengruppe, die für die quasi-staatliche Shanghai Creative Industry corporation den Riesenkomplex erschlossen hat und für die kommenden 15 Jahre betreiben wird. Die Auflagen sind streng: Die Betreiber dürfen Mieter nicht nach Finanzkraft aussuchen, sondern müssen sich an den vorgegebenen Mix aus freischaffenden Künstlern, kleinen Planungsbüros und generell Kulturinstitutionen halten. Wenige kommerzielle Einrichtungen wie zwei Edelrestaurants an der Westfront, Privatclubs und Boutiquen, sollen dann die kleineren Büros quersubventionieren.
In der kommenden Woche wird 1933 erstmals der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht im Rahmen der Shanghai International Creative Industry Week. Nachdem Shanghai-Liebhaber nach jahrelangen erbarmungslosen Kahlschlägen nur noch wenig Vertrauen in Baubehörden und Stadtverwaltung aufbringen, scheint sich mit 1933 ein Lichtblick am Horizont abzuzeichnen. Hongkou und Yangpu, die lange vernachlässigten nördlichen Distrikts, die hinter mondänen Stadtbezirken wie Pudong oder die Shoppingzentren lange zurückstehen mussten, erhalten im Zuge der Expo-Vorbereitungen einen neuen Status.
Das ehemalige Industrie- und Arbeiterviertel Yangpu soll zum Wissensbezirk entwickelt werden mit mehreren Universitäten und Instituten. Hongkou, das Viertel nördlich des Suzhou Creek mit seinem großen Bestand an traditionellen Wohnhäusern, wird Kulturzentrum Shanghais. Die 1933-Investoren versprechen, dass die umliegenden Wohngebiete nicht abgerissen werden und die Anwohner durch hohe Preise vertrieben werden sollen. Ihrer Vorstellung nach wird "1933" auf die Nachbarschaft mittelbar wirken. "Mein Traum ist es, dass einer der Anwohner ein erstes Kaffee eröffnet, während seine Mutter den Enkel schaukelt und die Nachbarn sich wie früher draussen auf der Strasse zum Spielen und Erzählen treffen", fabuliert Liu.
Die Renovierungskosten belaufen sich auf rund 20 Millionen Dollar, schätzt Liu. Innerhalb eines Jahrzehnts soll das Gebäude die Anfangsinvestitionen wieder eingespielt haben. Bislang will Paul bereits ein Fünftel der Fläche vermietet haben und möchte innerhalb eines Jahres Verträge für das gesamte Areal unter Dach und Fach haben. Am 29. November zieht der erste Mieter ein. Ein Hongkonger Architektenbüro.

China setzt auf Windenergie
Östlich von Urumuqi Richtung Turfan erstrecken sich gigantische Windkraftfelder. Kein Wunder - in dieser Region sind die Winde so stark, dass an manchen Tagen der Verkehr lahm liegt und Touribusse ihre Fahrt ins Weintraubenland Turfan auf halber Strecke abbrechen müssen.
Mit dem wachsenden Energiebedarf werden auch alternative Energiequellen in China mehr und mehr beachtet. Li Junfeng, Experte für Alternative Energien, sieht das Land 2020 als drittgrößten Markt für Windenergie. Derzeit liegt die Volksrepublik auf Rang 5 nach den USA, Deutschland, Indien und Spanien. Allein im vergangenen Jahr wurden weltweit Windgeneratoren für 23 Milliarden Dollar mit einer Kapazität von 74 Gigawatt ans Netz angeschlossen. China will in diesem Jahr im Windkraftbereich 5 Gigawatt erzeugen.

Shanghai Index Rebounds Amid Volatile Session
A WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE NEWS ROUNDUP
June 5, 2007 5:23 a.m.
SHANGHAI, China -- Chinese stocks rebounded in volatile trading Tuesday following their sharpest one-day drop in three months as strong buying by institutions offset selling by retail investors. Japan and Hong Kong also ended higher.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 2.6% to 3767.10 after a roller-coaster session that saw the index plunge as much as 7.2% earlier in the day. It fell 8.3% on Monday -- the benchmark's sharpest decline since an 8.8% drop Feb. 27 triggered a global market selloff. The Shenzhen Composite Index for China's smaller second market rose 2.5% to 1066.05.
Chinese investors had dumped shares Friday and Monday in reaction to a government decision last week to triple a tax on stock trades, viewing the move as a signal regulators are determined to cool frenzied trading that had lifted stock prices nearly 60% since the start of the year, following a 130% surge in 2006.
By Tuesday's close, the benchmark Shanghai index was 13% below its record high of 4334.92, hit May 29. But it was still up 40% for the year so far.
China's stock markets are largely closed to foreign investors. Analysts attributed the selloff Monday to panic-selling by individual retail investors. The stock market boom has prompted millions of first-time investors to jump into the market, tapping savings and retirement accounts and mortgaging homes to buy stocks. Authorities are worried that the new money is fueling a bubble in prices.
Shifting to damage control, on Tuesday state-run newspapers carried prominent articles announcing the approval of four new investment funds. Financial newspapers sought to reassure investors, asserting that the tax increase on stock trades would help the markets by encouraging longer-term investments in better stocks.
Economists say the recent fall in Chinese prices should have only a modest impact on the overall economy because China's growth is driven by exports, not the financial markets, and families have still much more money in savings than in shares.
Elsewhere in Asia, Japanese stocks rose for a fourth straight session, led by technology and pharmaceutical shares. Investors were heartened by modest gains on Wall Street overnight and shrugged off volatility in Chinese shares. The Nikkei 225 index added 80.39 points, or 0.45%, to finish at 18053.81 points, the highest close since Feb. 27. The index now has gained 2.65% the past four trading sessions.
Motomi Hiratsuka, head of global portfolio marketing and trading at BNP Paribas in Tokyo, said the Chinese stock market's recent drop was unlikely to impact the Tokyo stock market in near term. "China's recent drop is rather healthy for its market, considering that Beijing announced stamp tax hikes just last week," he said. "Investors are warned what the government will be up for if shares start soaring again."
In Tuesday's session, gainers included Tokyo Electron, which climbed 1.37%, Fanuc, which added 1.82% and Daichi Sankyo, which rose 1.81%.
Other markets in the region also advanced. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 0.54% to finish at 20842.15. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index, or Kospi, ended up 4.60 points, or 0.3%, at 1742.19 and the Weighted Price Index of the Taiwan Stock Exchange rose 9.2 points, or 0.1%, to close at 8303.99, the highest since July 19, 2000.
In currencies, the dollar was trading at ¥122.84, up from ¥121.82 late Monday in New York.

Liu Qi
Wednesday, Apr. 25, 2007
By Simon Elegant
On a recent bright spring Sunday morning, a line of Beijingers waiting at a bus stop noticed a distinguished visitor at the back of their queue. The bemused commuters found themselves being congratulated for their "civilized behavior" by none other than the city's senior politician, Beijing Communist Party Secretary Liu Qi. As head of the city's all-important Olympic Organizing Committee, Liu, 64, has designated the 11th day of every month from now until the Games begin on Aug. 8, 2008, as "Learn to Line Up Day." Liu's other crusades—against spitting, smelly taxis, fractured English and dirty toilets, among other things—are manifestations of the gargantuan task he has been charged with, which is no less than the physical and spiritual transformation of China's capital in time for the Games.
The gleaming new buildings, stadiums and public spaces are visible symbols of the $40 billion campaign Liu is leading to ensure that China's coming-out party goes off without a hitch. Much less visible are the headaches that Beijing would rather not have exposed. One example, pervasive corruption, has led to the arrest of Beijing's deputy mayor on charges of taking millions in bribes from contractors. Another is air pollution: Liu recently said he may order all industries in the Beijing area to stop production in order to guarantee a clean atmosphere for the Games. China's top leaders have repeatedly made it clear that they will settle for nothing less than a perfect Olympics. A little more than a year from now, the world will find out if Liu has pulled it off.

China Olympics Evict 1.5M
Tuesday, Jun. 05, 2007
By AP/ERICA BULMAN
(GENEVA)—Some 1.5 million Chinese have been forced from their homes during preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a rights group said Tuesday.
China rejected the figures from the Geneva-based Center on Housing Rights and Evictions as "groundless" and said some 6,000 families had been compensated and properly resettled.
"Our research shows that little has changed since 1988 when 720,000 people were forcibly displaced in Seoul, South Korea, in preparation for the Summer Olympic Games," said Jean du Plessis, COHRE's executive director. "It is shocking and entirely unacceptable that 1.25 million people have already been displaced in Beijing, in preparation for the 2008 Games, in flagrant violation of their right to adequate housing."
Some 6,037 households have been demolished since 2002 to make way for nine venues in the process of preparing for the 2008 Olympic Games, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said.
"Those citizens have received cash compensation and been properly resettled. Not one single household has been forced to move out of Beijing," Jiang said.
IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies told The Associated Press that the study "touches upon a very important subject," and that the IOC planned to attend a COHRE workshop addressing the issue June 14-15.
"We'd like to get a better understanding of the issues and see what international norms and U.N. standards exist that could serve as guidelines for governments in the future," Davies said.
The three-year study covered seven past and future Olympic host cities — Seoul, Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, Beijing and London.
The study says that large-scale events often lead to rising housing costs, resulting in forced evictions, displacement and criminalization of homelessness.
Five years ahead of the London 2012 Olympics, more than 1,000 people face the threat of displacement from their homes, while housing prices are escalating, the study said.
The report said organizers of the 2010 Vancouver Games had vowed to respect housing rights, but preparations already have led to the loss of 700 low-income housing units and the conversion of inexpensive housing into tourist accommodations has displaced hundreds of poor and elderly.
Past games were often worse:
— For the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, 720,000 people were forcibly evicted from their homes and homeless people were rounded up and detained in facilities outside the city, the report said. Development and urbanization led to unaffordable housing.
— Leading up to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, more than 400 families were displaced to make room for the Olympic Village, 20 families were evicted from the site of the Olympic stadium and 200 other families were displaced for the construction of ring roads. Housing prices and rents increased 139 and 149 percent respectively during the six-year period before the games and the lack of affordable housing forced low-income earners out of the city.
— For the 1996 Atlanta Games, some 30,000 poor residents were displaced due to gentrification. About 2,000 public housing units were demolished. Legislation was introduced to criminalize homelessness, the report said.
— Legislative measures also were introduced ahead of the 2004 Athens Olympics to simplify the expropriation of private property. Hundreds of Roma were evicted from their settlements.
— Because the main sporting complex for the 2000 Sydney Games was built on surplus government wasteland, no one was directly evicted or displaced for those games. But the city's gentrification caused housing prices to more than double between 1996 and 2003. Rents soared 40 percent, forcing many to move to the city's fringe.

Ein Thema, das alle ausländischen Medien in der vergangenen Woche mit Begeisterung aufgenommen haben, sind die Taxi-Spucktüten in Shanghai. 45,000 Tüten wurden ausgeteilt, damit die Fahrer nicht mehr aus dem Fenster, sondern lieber indoor spucken.
Das Health Promotion Committee hatte im vergangenen Jahr eine "Speichelprobe" in 10 Stadtbezirken genommen am Anfang und am Ende des Jahres. An den Hauptspuckplätzen ging die Trefferquote der Erhebung zufolge von 164 auf 46 zurück. Nicht innerhalb eines Tages, sondern innerhalb einer halben Stunde, wohlgemerkt. Alles in allem eine bemerkenswerte Statistik. Da Taxifahrer als Haupt-Missetäter gelten, wurden die Tütchen eingeführt.
Zumindest bei der ausländischen Bevölkerung stößt der Hygiene-Feldversuch auf wenig Gegenliebe, wie Shanghai Daily am 27. Januar meldete. "Appalling" war die einhellige Reaktion der Leser. Das wiederum erstaunt die Shanghaier Gesundheitsbehörde. Ein Vertreter versprach, die Taxifahrer würden nicht in Gegenwart der Fahrgäste spucken und die Tüten diskret verwahren.
