DSTI ORGANIZATION
A.
LARGE SINO-TAIWANESE ELECTRONICS JOINT VENTURE
(JV)
SET UP
IN JIANGSU PROVINCE
(PEOPLE’S DAILY
-
PD,
OCT).
THE JIANGSU YUNTAI SALT TRANSPORTATION AND
MARKETING COMPANY
(CO) AND AN UNIDENTIFIED
(UI)
TAIWANESE CO HAVE JOINTLY ESTABLISHED THE YINYOU
ELECTRONIC CO
IN LIANYUNGANG //GEOCOORDS:
3436N/
11913E//
.
THIS
IS THE LARGEST EQUITY JV ELECTRONICS
ENTERPRISE
IN JIANGSU, WITH JOINTLY INVESTED CAPITAL OF
USD 3.2 MILLION.
THE FACTORY HAS SIX CARBON FILM
CONSTANT RESISTOR PRODUCTION LINES WITH A TOTAL ANNUAL
PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 2.05 BILLION RESISTORS OF
DIFFERENT TYPES.
B.
STATE
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMISSION
(SSTC)
URGES HIGH TECH ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT ZONES TO SEEK
NEW TECHNOLOGIES
(SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DAILY
-
STD,
30 OCT).
THE ARTICLE RECALLS THAT THE
31 NEW HIGH TECH
ZONES WERE
SET UP BY SSTC
IN
1991 TO ENCOURAGE
ENTERPRISES TO APPLY THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC AND
TECHNOLOGICAL
(S AND T) DEVELOPMENTS TO PRODUCTION OF
CONSUMER GOODS.
IT ALSO NOTES THAT MOST NEW
TECHNOLOGIES BEING APPLIED WITHIN THE ZONES ARE THE
FRUITS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
(R AND D) WORK
IN
STATE -RUN RESEARCH INSTITUTES
(RI)
AND CENTERS.
MANY
STATE -RUN Rl'S HAVE OPENED UP THEIR OWN HIGH TECH
ENTERPRISES
IN THE
ZONES.
HOWEVER,
ENTERPRISES WITHIN
THE
ZONES ARE RAPIDLY RUNNING OUT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES
TO APPLY,
BECAUSE SCIENTISTS WORKING IN RI
'
S
WOULD
RATHER SELL THEIR
S AND T RESULTS TO PRIVATE
ENTERPRISES.
THESE CONTRADICTING INTERESTS ARE THE
RESULT OF CHINA'S AMBIGUOUS PROPERTY SYSTEM.
THE
ARTICLE RECOMMENDS THAT SSTC SET UP A SHAREHOLDING
SYSTEM,
UNDER WHICH CHINA'S STATE-RUN RI
'
S
SHARE
IN THE
OWNERSHIP OF NEW ENTERPRISES
IN THE ZONES
AND,
AS A
RESULT,
ALSO OBTAIN A SHARE OF THE PROFITS OF THESE
ENTERPRISES.

SSTC MERGES TWO KEY BEIJING
S AND T PROMOTION
AGENCIES
INTO "CHINA TECHNOLOGY MARKET ASSOCIATION"
(CHINA DAILY

30 OCT).
SSTC HAS AMALGAMATED THE
"CHINA TECHNOLOGY MARKET PROMOTIONAL COUNCIL" AND THE
"CHINA TECHNOLOGY MARKET Rl"
INTO THE NEW ASSOCIATION
IN A MOVE TO PROMOTE CHINA'S FLEDGLING TECHNOLOGY
MARKET.
THE NEW ASSOCIATION REPRESENTS OVER 3,000
Rl'S,
INSTITUTES OF HIGHER LEARNING,
AND BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES.
IT WILL ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE COOPERATION IN
CHINA'S TECHNOLOGY MARKET NETWORK,
AS WELL AS TRAIN
ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL,
AND PROMOTE RESEARCH AND
EXCHANGES.

THE TRADING ARM OF
THE PLA GENERAL LOGISTICS DEPARTMENT (GLD)
HAS SET UP A

IN COOPERATION WITH THE HONG KONG CO,
CHEUNG KONG HOLDINGS.
XINXING CHAIRMAN
((ZHANG))
BIN
AND CHEUNG KONG CHAIRMAN
((LI)) HASHING PRESIDED AT THE
OPENING CEREMONY ON 26
OCT.
XINXING
IS THE SOLE
EXPORTER OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT PRODUCED BY THE MASSIVE
GLD ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE,
BUT WISHES TO PLAY DOWN ITS
MILITARY ROLE.
THE CORP OPERATES OVER
100 LARGE
FACTORIES
IN CHINA,
SOME OF THEM
IN REMOTE MOUNTAINOUS
AREAS.
XINXING DESIRES TO DEVELOP EXTENSIVE ECONOMIC
AND TECHNOLOGICAL TIES WITH FOREIGN BUSINESSES TO
EXPLOIT THE PRODUCTION POTENTIAL OF THESE FACTORIES.
THE HONG KONG OFFICE WAS SET UP TO PROMOTE
SUCH FOREIGN
COOPERATION.

STATE COUNCIL'S ECONOMIC AND TRADE OFFICE
(ETO)
PROMISES TO DELEGATE POWERS TO ENTERPRISES AS PART OF
ECONOMIC REFORMS
(SCMP,
23 AND 30 OCT).
THE ETO,
UNDER THE DIRECTION OF VICE PREMIER
((ZHU))
RONGJI,
HAS
PROMISED THAT
IT WILL TAKE BOLD STEPS OVER THE COMING
YEAR TO GIVE GREATER AUTONOMY TO STATE -RUN ENTERPRISES.
IT
IS ETO'S INTENT TO PROVIDE ONLY MACROECONOMIC
GUIDANCE TO INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE,
WHILE ALLOWING
ENTERPRISES TO ASSUME MANY OF THE REGULATORY FUNCTIONS
FORMERLY RETAINED BY THE STATE.
THE
SPC WILL ALSO
ADJUST ITS FUNCTIONS TO INSURE FURTHER SEPARATION OF
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF GOVERNMENT AND ENTERPRISES,
TO
REDUCE
INTERFERENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENTS
(DEPT)
IN THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF STATE-OWNED
ENTERPRISES.
IT
IS HOPED THAT THE NEW REFORMS WILL
ENCOURAGE FIRMS TO ENTER MARKET COMPETITION, WITH
RESULTANT IMPROVEMENT
IN INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY AND
REDUCTION OF LOSS-MAKING ENTERPRISES.

ZHANG IDENTIFIED THREE
MAIN TASKS THAT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED TO REACH THIS GOAL
(1)
CSSC'S
S AND T SYSTEM AND OPERATIONAL
STRUCTURE MUST UNDERGO FURTHER REFORMS;
(2)
CSSC MUST INCREASE INVESTMENT
IN
S AND
T,
WHILE
IMPROVING METHODS OF RESEARCH AND
EXPERIMENTATION,

S AND T;
(3)
THE INDUSTRY MUST GRADUALLY INCREASE THE
RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF
S AND T PROGRESS
IN DEVELOPING
CHINA'S SHIPPING INDUSTRY.
HE URGED CSSC RI
