Qingdao enjoys mild summers and relatively warm winters, with the average July temperature at 23.8°C and the average January temperature at -0.7°C. The city gets most rain in June and July, at an average of 150 mm.

History

For details on the colonial period, see Jiaozhou Bay

The area of which Qingdao is located today was called Jiao'ao (胶澳) when it was administered by the Qing Dynasty. In 1891, the Qing Government decided to make the area a primary defence base against naval attacks, and planned the construction of a city. Little was done, however, until 1897 when the city was ceded to Germany (after Hong Kong fell under British control and Macau went to the Portuguese). The Germans soon turned Tsingtao into a strategically important port, basing their Pacific Squadron there, allowing the fleet to conduct operations throughout the Far East. The German Imperial government planned and built the first streets and institutions of the city we see today, including the world-famous Tsingtao Brewery. German influence extended to other areas of Shandong Province, including the establishment of rival breweries.

Map of Qingdao in 1912Soon after the outbreak of World War I, the German Pacific Squadron, under Admiral Graf von Spee, left Tsingtao rather than waiting to be trapped in the harbour by Allied forces. After a subsequent minor British naval attack on the German colony in 1914, Japan occupied the city and the surrounding province during the Battle of Tsingtao after Japan's declaration of war on Germany. The failure of the Allied powers to restore Chinese rule to Shandong after the war triggered the May Fourth Movement.

The city reverted to Chinese rule in 1922, under control of the Kuomintang (the ROC). Renamed Qingdao in 1930, the city became a special administrative zone of the ROC Government. Japan re-occupied Qingdao in 1938 with its plans of territorial expansion onto China's coast. After World War II the KMT allowed Qingdao to serve as the headquarters of the Western Pacific Fleet of the US Navy. On 2nd June, 1949, the CCP-led Red Army entered Qingdao and the city and province have been under PRC control since that time.

Since the 1984 inauguration of China's open-door policy to foreign trade and investment, Qingdao has developed quickly as a modern port city. It is now the headquarters of the Chinese navy's northern fleet.

Qingdao is now a manufacturing center, and home to Haier Corporation a major electronics firm. The city has recently experienced a rapid growing period, with a new central business district created to the east of the older business district. Outside of the center of the city there is a large industrial zone, which includes chemical processing, rubber and heavy manufacturing, in addition to a growing high tech area.

[edit] Demographics

By the end of 2002, Qingdao is estimated to be the home for more than 7 million inhabitants, of which around 2.6 million reside in the Qingdao urban area. Another estimated 2.3 million reside in other cities under Qingdao's jurisdiction. The annual number of births is calculated around 82,000, with a birth rate of 11.26/1000 population, and a death rate of 6.93/1000 population, both calculated on an annual basis. This results to a 4.33/1000 population growth rate overall, not counting immigration, which is substantial. Living standards are among highest of the leading Chinese cities due to the strong export economy and relatively high family wages.

While Qingdao is home to 38 Chinese ethnic minorities they constitute only 0.14% of the city's total population. Qingdao boasts a vibrant expatriate community, led by the Korean community which comprised over 60,000 individuals in 2005.

Economy

Qingdao is perhaps most famously known for the Tsingtao Brewery, which German settlers founded in 1903, and which produces Tsingtao beer, now the most famous beer in China and known worldwide.

Qingdao May 4th Square [2006]In 1984 the Chinese government named a district of Qingdao a Special Economic and Technology Development Zone (SETDZ). Along with this district, the entire city had gone through amazing development of secondary and tertiary industries. As an important trading port in the province, Qingdao flourishes with foreign investment and international trade. South Korea and Japan in particular made extensive investment in the city. At least 30,000 South Korean nationals reside there. Construction proceeds at a relatively fast pace in Qingdao. Famous corporations include Haier.

In terms of primary industry, Qingdao has an estimated 50,000 acres (200 km2) of arable land. Qingdao has a zig-zagging pattern coastline, and thus possesses an invaluable stock of fish, shrimp, and other sea resources. Qingdao is also home to a variety of mineral resources. Up to thirty different kinds have been mined. Qingdao's wind power electricity generation performs at among the best levels in the region.

The GDP per capita comprised ￥29,596 (ca. US$3,659) in 2004. The GDP has grown steadily at an average pace of 14% annually.

[edit] Transportation

The Orient Ferry connects Qingdao with Shimonoseki, Japan. There are numerous smaller ferries connecting Qingdao with South Korea as well.

The Qingdao Liuting International Airport, 36 kilometres away from city centre, is served by 13 domestic and international airlines, operating 58 routes of which 10 are international and regional. It is estimated that in 2002 over 2.3 million people, including 450,000 international travelers, were transported through the airport.

Qingdao hosts one of China's largest seaports. Cooperative relations have been established with 450 ports in 130 countries worldwide. The 1999 annual cargo handling capacity was 72 million tons. Exported commodities amounted to more than 35 million tons and 1.5 million TEUs.

Qingdao's railway development was picked up during the late 90's. At the present, domestic rail lines connect Qingdao with Lanzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Jinan and Jining. There are a total of 1,145km of roads in the Qingdao area, with nearly 500km of expressways. Expressways connect Qingdao with Jinan. The specially designed high-altitude railcars required for the Qinghai–Tibet railway, the highest railway in the world, are also built in Qingdao.

[edit] Culture

Through the unique combination of German and Chinese architecture in the city center, combined with modern high-rises and freeways, along a coastline of beaches, rocky headlands, and picturesque cypress trees, give Qingdao a distinct atmosphere not found anywhere else in the world. Qingdao is proud to be the host city for several events of the 2008 Olympics, including the sailing competitions which will take place along the complicated shoreline directly offshore from the city.

Unlike many large Chinese cities with a long history, Qingdao is a relative newcomer, being nothing but a fishing village in 1897. The majority of residents are immigrants having migrated from other locations to take advantage of the opportunities Qingdao offers. Nonetheless a distinctive local accent known as "Qingdao Hua" distinguishes the residents of the city from those of the surrounding province (who speak "Shandong Hua", both being dialects of Mandarin).

The distinctive cuisine is Lu Cai, the Shandong regional style.

The area's most famous festival is the Qingdao International Beer Festival, held annually since 1991.

[edit] Tourism

Qingdao attracts many tourists due to its seaside setting and excellent weather. Parks, beaches, sculpture and some unique architecture line the shore.

Chinese Enterprises Look to Africa

In post -World Cup South Africa,the droning （谈，说，沉闷单调的谈话）of the vuvuzelas （？）has faded away and the crowds of

spectators （旁观者，参观者） have dispersed（散开，驱散）, but the world’s attention to the continent has not waned（苍白的，微弱的）. Africa is now the promised land for entrepreneurs （企业家）and investors（投资商） across the world ,including China.

Disperse adj. – sb’s attention 使某人注意力分散

Higher Returns

A report by Mckinsey&Company shows that return on capital invested in Africa is 60 percent higher than for Asia, making the region the most lucrative（有力的，可获利的） spot（污点，地点，场所，认出，发现，弄脏） on earth for investors .

A lucrative investment 有利的投资

This finding is supported by the 2009 financial report of ZTE, a Chinese provider of telecommunications电信 equipment and network solutions. ZTE reported a gross profit rate of 53.51percent in China and 22.32percent in other Asian coutries.Its African revenue was RMB6.86 billion last year, representing 11.38percent of its core business.核心商业

ZTE first ventured into Africa in 1995, and has steadily expanded its presence there despite political ups and downs .Now 60 percent of its revenues come from outside China , and Africa is its second largest marker after Asia-Pacific.亚太

Huawei , another leading telecom company in China , made its African landfall in 1998.It has set up offices in a dozen African

countries, and its total investment now tops US$1.5 billion(亿万)。It is one of the three largest telecom equipment providers on the African continent.

1 Chinese capital is conspicious（显而易见的，惹人注目的） in other

sectors too. The Nigerian factory of Wenzhou Hanzan ,built in 2004, is now the largest shoe producer in Africa Cotton Development Ltd., an investment of US$190billion launched in 2009, is the largest

China-funded agricultural project in Africa . On March 19 this year ,First Automobile Works (FAW)and China Africa Development Fund signed an agreement to pool US$100million for a production base in Africa , which will be the largest investment in the continent by China’s auto industry.

As a stimulus (刺激) for Chinese investment in Africa ,China has set up six trade and economic cooperation zones in five African

countries including Zambia,Ethiopia（埃塞俄比亚） and Nigeria（尼日利亚）. They draw on the experience of the special economic zones that

China created in the early years o f its reform and opening-up (改革开放)and are introducing China’s investment into Africa to incubate （孵化，孵卵，筹划） local processing and manufacturing industries. China has also established the US$5billion China-Africa

Development Fund ,assisting Chinese investment projects in Africa through shares purchase.

Earlier this year Commerce Minister Chen Deming told the media that Chinese investment in Africa has grown 20-fold in the past decade, from US$50million百万 in 2001 to US$1billion 【英德：万亿； 法美：十亿billionaire 亿万富翁】in 2009. He predicted great scope(范围，机会，眼界，射程，余地) for further increase.

According to Wei Jianguo, secretary general of the China Center for International Economic Exchange who worked in Africa for 20

years ,2,180 Chinese enterprises are doing business in Africa , getting

involoved in approximately 8000 projects encompassing power stations , airports , ports , highways, hospitals , and wind farms . He agrees with the consensus of China’s business world that there is no time like the present to go there .

As Mr.Wei sees it, Chinese investors in Africa fall into three

categories：First , state-owned companies and big private companies like Huawei(华为)， who mostly pursue engineering project contracts;second, manufactures who move production to the continent , attracted by lower
