| The Olympics was well worth waiting for - But what to do now? What a huge anti-climax! Back to the old Chinese soaps on TV? I started to watch the single English Channel CCTV9's propagandizing again and I almost started to believe what I hear (again). So now, in the aftermath of attention having been given to Beijing, will the world please remember that there is more to China than the big cities of Beijing and Shanghai? Let's please pay a little attention to Yantai?! The Yantai air and sea are clean (remember it's all relative), the weather is great (except it's been pissipitating [sic] down every other day this August), the traffic is barely noticeable (well it will be when Bei Ma Lu reconstruction is finished), the seafood and wine are terrific (even if much of it is imported), the people are really honest and friendly (like the air and the sea) and best of all, there are so few expats here now, that you are still a novelty factor in the supermarket, and on the bus - (well almost anywhere except in Alibaba's Bar). The best news is that there is a new pub soon to be opening, "Druid's Irish Pub", and a new Singaporean style restaurant/bar called "The Ranch". Other good news is that the 5 Star Ramada Hotel is open and has great restaurants. Also the new supermarket Jusco has opened in Laishan District so that is a blessing. We are still and impatiently waiting for the new 5 Star Yantai Crowne Plaza Hotel to open, and where is that long-awaited Starbucks and Haagen Dazs store? But then again the waist-line does not really need such bourgeois products does it? As for the serious business stuff - In the Spring edition of the Yantai Wolf-Whistle, we published a summary report on Yantai's market development. This edition we bring to you a report on another city in Yantai Prefecture, "Penglai", which is a 1 hour drive west along the coast from Yantai city. We also bring a few articles from contributors relating to the Beijing and Qingdao Olympics, as well as some useful Chinese idioms and upcoming events. Enjoy ! The Editor

Market Intelligence Report - Penglai City, Shandong, China |
| Kindly contributed by Dr. Chris Bayley in Yantai, China (Chris is from Kent, UK) August 15, 2008 Penglai City lies to the West of Yantai City one hour's drive along the beautiful coastline. Penglai is one of the world's seven "grape coasts", and is famous for its tourism, wine, gold, stone, ship-building, seafood, and automotive parts industries. Penglai has a long history, with evidence that human beings lived here as early as in the new stone age. Penglai was originally called Dengzhou, and was made famous by the Emperor Han Wudi when he visited in 133 BC and described it as a "Fairy Land on Earth". Ever since then, the location was regarded in China as one of the "Three Celestial Hills of the Eastern Sea" which were inhabited by fairies. Subsequent Emperors such as Emperor Qin Shihuang (260 BC to 210 BC) visited this fairyland in search of the panacea of life, and Emperor Han visited Penglai in search of the fairies. Their epic adventures inspired great scholars and poets such as Bai Yuyi to write poems, verses and scriptures and Su Dongpo to write the fairy tale of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" which further perpetuated the legend and the wonder of the mirage for all to know. The Port of Penglai was the original main port in the Yantai region, and played a significant role in international trade and defence against foreign invaders and pirates: (The current main port of Yantai is now located in Yantai City. The new west port is currently being established 20km west of Yantai City in Bajiao Town, and this will become the main Port of Yantai over the coming decade with the majority of bulk industrial cargo being relocated from the current Yantai City Port and the new oil & gas terminal being constructed there. The passenger and cruise ferry terminals will remain in Yantai City Port). The Port of Penglai is still expanding and continues to play an important function for import/export of bulk chemicals, coal, iron ore, prefabricated building materials and automotive components. If you wish to download the full report FREE, please send email request: contact@panventure.com Or press the following link: 2008_market_intelligence_report_penglai.pdf The full report provides investors with in-depth descriptions, detailed statistics, plans and projections from the local government departments including the following: General Introduction to Penglai Location of Penglai Maps of Penglai History of Penglai Geography of Penglai Population of Penglai Climate of Penglai Economy of Penglai Infrastructure of Penglai Natural Resources and Products of Penglai List of Penglai Industries List of Penglai Companies Foreign Invested Companies in Penglai Foreign Investment in Penglai

| Beijing Olympics Opening CeremonyContributed by Jerry Rust in Yantai, China (Jerry is from Oregon, USA) August 8th 2008. At the 8th second of the 8th minute of the 8th hour of the 8th day of the 8th month of the 8th year it went BANG here and the skies lit up. I watched the four hour Olympic opening ceremony on live TV in Yantai City with Chinese friends, mesmerized by the lavish spectacle. We held our collective breath as the Olympic torch entered the Olympic stadium in Beijing. After its tortured route would a runner stumble; would the flame go out? As the eighth runner was hoisted aloft to circle the stadium, the flame did appear at moments to flicker; would it go out? When the cauldron was lit, the skies erupted again with fireworks. It seemed so well-timed. Athletes waved to the ecstatic crowd of ninety thousand, and billions around the world. The television cameras focused in on well-known athletes and the many world leaders, including President Bush, and Laura Bush waving tiny American flags as the American athletes marched past. When the Chinese athletes, led by Yao Ming and a small girl who barely reached his thigh, finally entered the stadium President Hu Jin Tao and the other Chinese leaders rose and gave the slow Mao wave to their athletes. The Chinese leaders were actually SMILING, some quite broadly. The pressure was off, at least for now. The Olympic spirit, and a successful Opening ceremony had cracked their usual grim faces wide open

| | | | When Will China Catch Up With USA ? Kindly contributed by Jerry Rust in Yantai, China (Jerry is from Oregon, USA) August 15, 2008 (This article was written before the Olympic Gold Medal tally was completed!! :-) "When will China catch up with the USA?" I had asked this question in my English class of Chinese students here in Yantai, China recently. I had carefully explained that I didn't think there was a "correct answer", that I was seeking to stimulate thought and classroom discussion. I got an ear-full. "Catching up (gan shang) is only a concept", said one student. "We have different cultures, different social systems and special holidays, such as Fool's Day." "Every culture has its own strengths and weaknesses". He continued: "We can measure certain things, like economic growth, military power, and Olympic Gold Medals, but how can we measure cultures? We can only know each other." He sat down. A girl said, "China is more fun." I asked what she meant. She said China has more Theme Parks and Amusement Parks. Another student said "China is a tea culture; the USA is a coffee culture". "China has better food", said another. I had to admit that the food in Yantai is terrific with a rich abundance of fruits, vegetables, seafood, and lots of noodles and dumplings. I couldn't resist mentioning cold jellyfish soup and certain edible insects, such as cicada grubs, bean worms, and silk worm pupae. No one blinked. Another student opined that "Chinese are more polite." "Chinese children obey their parents and respect their teachers and elders". "You can get more respect here", said a girl student. Indeed as a foreign guest, a teacher, and an elder here I get multiple layers of respect. We talked about the environment: air and water pollution, CO2 emissions, and Global Warming. China has caught up with and passed the US in total CO2 emissions, but on a per capita basis the average Chinese carbon footprint is only a fraction of ours. We're lucky here in Yantai, a city of 6.5 million. Lying at the edge of the sea shore ocean breezes keep the air pollution down. The air is rarely stagnant, but trapped in rush-hour traffic, listening to blaring horns from drivers' frustration, the fumes from diesel buses, older trucks and cars can be extremely noxious. I guess that's catching up. I remarked that the USA has an obesity problem, but, at least in the cities, the Chinese waistlines are also expanding. The students laughed. Then we discussed fast food, pizza, hamburgers and Kentucky fried chicken. Most students are trim and fit. They have few cavities. Their diets are low in sugars and fat, though they admit to occasional indulgences at KFC and McDonalds which are well-represented here. It is in education that China is excelling. It helps to have a 2,500 year old teaching/learning tradition dating back to Confucius--whose hometown, QuFu, is not far from here. There is a deep belief in China of the value of education. The "one child family" often has two sets of grandparents providing child care and early education for Chinese children. Single-parent families are rare. By the age of twelve students have several hours of homework each night, and must study on weekends too--before watching TV or playing computer games. By the time of high school graduation, and prior to taking the national college entrance examination ("Gao Kao"), students routinely attend classes and study long into each evening, seven days a week. They have become, in the words of a student, "study machines". The Chinese students know far more about us, than we do of them. They know many of our presidents, such as Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy, Nixon and Clinton. They've begun to follow the current US presidential election. How many of us can name even a single Chinese emperor or current leader? Yes, China's economy is still growing rapidly--about 10% per year. Here in Yantai the economic growth rate is a stupendous 21% per year--the highest rate in China. Often, the work on the 15 and 20 story apartment complexes goes on day and night. To take a look at the mind-numbing construction going on here is to realize where the world's steel, cement, aluminium, glass and asphalt is going. China is rich in granite, so many of the sidewalks, curbs and public squares are being constructed of this most durable material. Nearing the end of the class period, a boy rose to say, "I don't know when China will catch up with the USA, but I hope my son or grandson will someday be teaching Chinese to American students, and asking them the question, 'when will America catch up with China?'". Nationalism. The Chinese are unified for the most part, and highly nationalistic. The words of their national anthem say it all: "Qi lai, Qi lai, Qi lai" (Rise up, Rise up, Rise up). Former Chinese Premier, Zhou En Lai was once asked by an American diplomat, "Why do you Chinese walk around with your heads down, while we Americans walk erectly with heads up?" Zhou replied, "We Chinese are climbing up the stairs; you Americans are going down the stairs." Stupid question. Clever answer. The truth is that China and the USA are both on non-sustainable paths. Perhaps we will meet each other on the stairs, learn from each other, and find a sustainable way together. Both sides have some catching up to do.

| | | One World, One Dream, One Bed (Kindly contributed by Huge YingTao) August 31, 2008 Now, finally, at last, that long-awaited 2008 Beijing Olympics is over! China has been flying its flag high, and the nation's pride is literally "over the moon" about the entire Olympic event including the opening/closing ceremonies, the outstanding performance of most of China's athlete's and the terrific number of gold medals. But despite the huge perceived success, China is coming back down to Earth with a big and loud thud as it wakes up with a huge post-closing-ceremony hangover. The problems that have been swept under the carpet are still there festering and no doubt will be solved with the tried and tested formula. However, what can China now focus on? Where can the media turn its attention to keep the society unified and harmonious? What will the nation now choose to develop scientifically? Will China focus on it's fascination with "One China" or will the Olympic theme of "One World, One Dream" take centre stage? Watch this space..................................... | | | Believe it or Not !(Kindly Contributed by Lars Holenbeck)A cockroach will live nine days without its head, before it starves to death.

In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes. In the last 4000 years, no new animals have been domesticated. It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors. Marilyn Monroe had six toes. Michael Jordan makes more money from Nike annually than all of the Nike factory workers in Malaysia combined. More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes. No word in the English language rhymes with month. Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously. On average, people fear spiders more than they do death. One of the reasons marijuana is illegal today is because cotton growers in the '30s lobbied against hemp farmers, they saw it as competition. Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older. Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

Clean Energy in Shandong - Clean Burning Stoves ! "Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." --Edmund Burke The messed up global environment ... take a look around here, you see dirty air, billowing smoke from coal -fired power plants, plastic bags floating in scummy water and in the air. You ever been to Shenyang? In terms of particulate pollution, the biggest contributor to 'greenhouse gasses' is -- you guessed it -- China. Now in China and internationally, governments and NGOs are beginning to work on it -- for example, regulating and retrofitting dirty industry and replacing coal stoves. One big player is Global Environmental Initiative (GEI) whose strategic partners include China's national environmental agencies, local gov'ts, WorldWatch Institute and The Nature Conservancy -China Program. GEI partners have already put thousands of cleaner-burning stoves in Guizhou, Gansu and Yunan, which are reducing the use of wood and coal fuel, and the nasty environmental and health effects. Changes are underway. So I had an idea about coal stoves in Shandong.... organise teams to get improved coal stoves into rural homes, and biogas units to farms, and educate the rural folk. It's timely, we're in the right place, and think there's lots of money available, to people on the ground who get involved. If we form a non-profit org, get the equipment, we could set our own salaries and benefits... And make a difference. If you're interested in doing something about this, call me (Craig Trevor) at +86 15954543103 or email to: craigtrevor@yahoo.com ''Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.''
