In Brief
Britta Steffen Wins Germany’s First Gold Medal in the Olympic Water Cube
With the "Good Luck Beijing" 2008 Swimming
China Open behind us, China's National Aquatics
Center has been tested successfully. A sizeable
competitive force of more than 200 swimmers
came to Beijing, but some top competitors the
United States and Australia were absent, only
sending observers. Germany was represented by
17 swimmers and took eight medals home. The first German gold medal at the
water cube went to world record holder Britta Steffen, who has already qualified for the Beijing Olympic Games swimming events, in the 50 meter freestyle.
of a steel skeleton sheathed in a Teflon-like plastic membrane that resembles
bubbling water and gives the structure its name. The 100,000 square meters of
plastic ETFE that make up the building's bubble cladding allow in more solar
heat than would glass, making it easier to heat the building and resulting in a
30 percent reduction in energy costs.
The 17,000-seat venue will host swimming, diving, synchronized swimming
and water polo during the games with 42 gold medals to be awarded. Called
the squat, a box-like structure with three pools below ground level is made up
The water cube was financed by donations exclusively from overseas Chinese.
After the Games the seats, will be reduced to 6,000 and the swimming center
will be open for public use.
Water is, naturally, also a focus of the building's sustainability efforts. A rainwater collection system gathers 10,000 cubic meters of it each year, while a
recycling system reuses 80% of the building's water. That's crucial in droughtplagued Beijing, which has less water per person than Israel.
FC Bayern Defeats Chinese Olympic Team
At the first-ever Allianz Cup, a friendly match between the Chinese Olympic football team and German elite team FC Bayern München, the Bavarians won 7:2 at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
The second leg of the series will take place 23rd - 24th May in China. The Serbian trainer of China’s team, Ratomir Dujkovic, thinks it is good preparation
for the Olympic Games.
Beijing 2008 Pocket Guide
The German Chamber of Commerce in
China Beijing will publish a special
Beijing Pocket Guide 2008, which is
to come out in May. Customized versions are offered for companies who
wish to provide an individual guide
for guests they plan to host at the
Beijing Olympic Games 2008. In a
pocket format encompassing 80 pages, the booklet will provide insider
information about Beijing and the
Games, give tips on where to go for
dinner and which sights are not to be
missed. The cover and initial pages
of the travel guide will be customized, so companies will have an ideal
marketing tool to reach their Olympic
guests and partners. There will also
be a German Chamber edition with
sponsorship opportunities.

Bund Gets a Makeover
before being restored to its current position in a year's time. Both
projects are being undertaken to
allow the construction of a vehicle
tunnel beneath the Bund to ease
traffic flow above.
Pop Stars Croon for the Expo
HongKong pop singer Alan Tam
Wing Lun came to the Bureau of
Shanghai World Expo Coordination
on 28 th January. He visited the
Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition
Center and ascended to the top of
Expo Hall, overlooking the World
Expo area still under construction.
Hu Jinjun, deputy director of the
Expo Bureau, met with Tam Wing
Lun. Tam was glad to have the opportunity to take part in the series
activities of Sing for the Expo. He
wrote and performed a song for the
World Expo at his concert in February at the Shanghai Grand Stage.
He also said that he wanted to take
part in the warm-up performance in
the Shanghai Expo Area.
In addition, famous Canadian singer,
Celine Dion, will hold her concert
named “The Opportunity of Love –
2008 World Tour Shanghai,” on 4th
April, an important event of the
series Sing for the Expo. She wished
the Shanghai Expo success at a recent press conference.
The German exhibitions and activities
will cover environmental protection,
one aspect of the 2010 Expo theme,
Better City, Better Life. Hu said
Hanover, Germany, hosted a very successful Expo in 2000, and noted that
Germany has extensive experience in
hosting international events, especially cultural events. Expo organizers
expressed hope that the German
exhibition would be highly successful
in Shanghai in 2010.
Major construction work on the
Bund is underway, city officials said.
The curved road ramp of the Yan'an
Elevated Road is closed to traffic
while it is torn down in an operation that will take 120 days.
At the other end of the Bund, the
century-old Waibaidu Bridge has
been closed to traffic since March. It
is being dismantled piece by piece
The ramp, in place for only 10 years,
has been hailed as the "No. 1 Curve
in Asia" for its unique location giving a close-up view of the Bund and
the skyscrapers on the Pudong side
of the river. Eventually, the elevated
ramp will be replaced by a lower
ramp linking the elevated road to
the tunnel. The new tunnel, 3.3km
in length, will become an underground artery between Hongkou and
Huangpu Districts.

Hamburg-China Alumni-Network – First Alumni-Dialogue in
Shanghai
“Our partnership between Hamburg and Shanghai is build upon sound mutual
understanding.” With these words, Suzanna Fistric, Head of Asia and North
America at the Hamburg Senatskanzlei, opened the first Alumni Dialogue in
Shanghai.
Due to the success and positive feedback of the January Alumni Dialogue in
Hamburg, the Hamburg Liaison Office Shanghai and the Confucius Institute
Hamburg took the opportunity to initiate such an event in Shanghai. Ideally, this event will continue on a bi-monthly basis, in order to encourage
exchange between Shanghai and Hamburg natives, as well as long-lasting
friendship.
Second, Christoph Scwanitz, who studied abroad in Shanghai in 1992 and
again in 1993, shared his experience as a Hamburger in Shanghai. He
enthusiastically detailed the new sights, sounds and smells of China, half
a world away from his hometown. When asked why he came twice, he remarked, “I don’t know why I got to go [on the exchange program] twice.
It was pure luck and the stupidity of the others who didn’t go!” Today, he
lives and works in Shanghai.
In addition to Ms. Fistric, two speakers, both Hamburg-China Alumni, shared
their experiences with the group. First, Zhuang Wei traveled to Hamburg in
1988 as an exchange student for his first trip outside of China. Landing initially in East Berlin, he recounted the unique experience of crossing the East-
Afterwards, participants asked questions which sparked discussion about
intercultural experiences between Germany and China. The Hamburg Liaison Offices looks forward to offering more meetings in the future, with
the next one planned for April.

Confucius Institute Hamburg
Holds HSK Exam
In Fall 2007, the Confucius Institute at Hamburg University was granted
the license to hold officially recognized Hanyu shuiping kaoshi (HSK) exams, the official Chinese Language Exam. The exams will be held once in
the spring and once in the fall, with preparation courses available.
The HSK is the Chinese equivalent of the well know TestDaF, Test Deutsch
als Fremdsprache or TOEFL, Test of English as a Foreign Language. A successful test allows the candidate to attend a Chinese high school or university, and it growing in importance.
This spring, the Confucius Institute Hamburg began a comprehensive language program for various levels, including evening courses. Through these
language programs and the Sino-German community “Chinese Corner,” it
is hoped that the close relationship between Hamburg and Shanghai will
continue to grow.

CAD/CAM Restoration System
Allows Shorter Visits
A brand new smile reflects
confidence, health and most
important of all, and a fashion statements with computerized dentistry, everyone
can have perfect smile in
just one appointment.
The latest technology of
CAD/CAM (Computer Aided
Design/Computer Aided
Manufacture) system raised
the standard of teeth restoration to a one-visit- treatment, one crown within 2
hours and one veneer within 30 min - 1 hour.
CAD-CAM Restoration System benefits patients with:
• Fewer injections
• Less time out of their hectic schedules
• Less drilling, natural tooth is conserved to last longer
• Natural look with full ceramic restoration
• No more temporaries, which may cause embarrassment if they fall out
• No more multiple visits
The relentless exploration of the system did not only further reduce the treatment time without compromising standards, working as a team and sharing
knowledge has boosted the confidence to achieve better results for patients.
Most Common Dental Problems
Many physicians say that one can evaluate a person’s overall health by
looking in their mouth. As the gateway to one’s inner system, dental
problems can easily spread to other parts of the body. Here are a few
common problems to watch for:
1. Bad Breath – curable dental problems are the cause of 85% of people
with the embarrassing problem of bad breath.
2. Tooth Decay – the second most prevalent disease in the first world
after the common cold.
3. Gum Disease – Gingivitis and Periodontal disease at the two stages
of gum disease, which is named as one cause of heart attacks and
strokes.
4. Oral Cancer – 300,000 new cases are diagnosed worldwide every year.
This disease should be treated seriously as it can be fatal.
5. Mouth Sores – common and bothersome. Contact a dentist if they last
more than two weeks.
6. Tooth Erosion – loss of tooth structure on the enamel as a result of
acid, the most common sign is increased sensitivity.
7. Tooth Sensitivity – pain when eating sweet, hot or cold items, and
even while brushing. The good news – it can be treated!
8. Toothaches – sometimes become dental emergencies if severely painful. Visit a dentist right away.
9. Unattractive Smile – while not always a health problem, sometimes
crooked teeth can cause pain, damage to other teeth, jaw problems
and insecurity with one’s self-image. Today many options are available to improve your smile!
Simple steps to restore teeth through the CAD/CAM
system:
1. Analyze, evaluate and plan for the patient
2. Photograph the tooth image with a small 3D measuring camera directly in
patient’s mouth
3. Design the crown / veneer specifically for the tooth, that blends well with
the rest of teeth for a natural look
4. Automated milling of a special chosen compressed ceramic block with precision for a perfect fit
5. Fire crafted ceramic block in furnace for a high gloss
6. Place, position and polish
Shortly, the new smil looks and feels natural.
With a record accomplishment of 11 crowns and veneers in one visit for one
patient, CAD/CAM Restoration System has created many smiles, changed many
lives and enhanced lifestyles. The power of knowledge and technology makes
your dental visit faster and easier, resulting in better outcomes for patients.

Climate Change and the
Financial Industry
Top Class Catering Comes to
China
Natural Disasters Impact Insurance Industry
Why is catering important?
What do caterers actually do?
A catering company is a restaurant without a guestroom, they set up
wherever you need them. Think outside the box: a factory, an office
building, a park, a ship, the roof-top of a high-rise or even the F1
race track could be suitable. Caterers are service providers specializing in food and drinks. Hence, they have mobile kitchen and bar
equipment. Usually caterers have additional services such as the
provision of manpower or coordination of music, flowers and decorations. In some cases, they even provide locations and event design.
More and more insurers are adopting creative measures for the
future. Allianz provides several examples. In the UK, the company
signed ClimateWise, an initiative encouraging companies to build
climate change into their business plans. When the company decides whether to issue insurance to companies, it now considers
each company’s CO2 emissions profile as a risk factor. Last year
they founded a new comprehensive company: Allianz Climate Solutions (ACS), and this company is focusing on China.
Who should contact the caterer?
Caterers are professional businesses, and upon contacting them you
might be amazed by how many questions they ask. It is unlikely that
a personal assistant to the CEO has all of these answers. The marketing department is the right choice here, because the event should
reflect the image and culture of the hosting company.
China a Major Player
Given its energy demand, China
is a pivotal player in global climate protection and renewable
energy markets. It is estimated
that by 2020, China will invest
over EUR 150bn in renewable
energy, producing 300GW of
hydropower, 30GW of wind
power, 20GW of biomass power
and 1/GW of solar power. The
current Five-Year Plan calls for
16% of energy to come from
renewable sources and pollution to be cut by 10%.
The chief risk officers of 19 of the
world’s top insurers agree that “Climate change has the potential to
develop into the greatest challenge
of the 21st century.” Scientists assert
that current changes in temperature
are unprecedented in human history.
As a result, they predict that natural
catastrophes will surely increase. Global warming due to greenhouse gas
emissions will continue to change the
world’s climate for decades, even if
we were to stop emitting greenhouse
gases immediately.
Insurance Companies Find Solutions
Insurers have come up with ideas like insurance offered to car
owners in Germany. The policy allows holders to neutralize the CO2
April - May 2008 | 70
Selecting the right caterer
emissions from their automobiles through
an investment in a CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) financed biomass power
plant in China that reduces greenhouse
gases. CDM permits polluters to obtain
pollution rights in Europe in exchange for
financing the reduction of pollution elsewhere, such as China.
These ideas are just the beginning. Investments into green energy in China offer tremendous potential for gains in the
financial sector, but they are also imperative. ACS’ CEO Armin Sandhövel remarked:
“Climate change is going to be a major
risk for humankind but also for our industry if we do not act…investors that participate in the global carbon market can
help the Chinese government to achieve
its [energy efficiency and pollution reduction] goals.” That’s not
just helping China, but people across the globe.

First, a request for quotation should be sent to 3 caterers. The best
proposal can be used for counter-quotations in a second run, but
remove the logo to ensure anonymity. It is wise to include a 5 star
hotel, an independent caterer and a restaurant.
Second, it is essential to visit their production site for inspection
before signing any contract, which can be paired with a complimentary tasting of the event menu. Follow your natural instincts
when inspecting their facilities, which might include anything from
a restaurant to a warehouse. How old is the equipment? What is its
condition? Is it clean and well maintained? How about the personal
hygiene of the staff? What you see here is what you get. Don’t believe, “Sorry it looks a bit messy because we just had this big event,
normally everything is much cleaner.”
Tailoring the perfect event
Contact the caterer at least two weeks in advance if possible. Take
mental notes when they ask you questions: “How does someone in
your company pick up the phone? What is the first sentence of your
receptionist?” These might be just the right questions to better
understand the culture of your company. This is what separates the
rookie from the professional. The right caterer for you must want to
understand you. When was the last event? Where was it? What was
served? Was there any feedback? Can I talk to the organizer? Who
are the attendees? Are there any vegetarians or food restricted participants to be thought after?
Community
The global carbon market can
s u p p o r t C h i na ’ s a i ms. T he
country is already responsible
for a substantial part of global
carbon trading. After a slow
start, the market is now growing very fast, rising from 5%
of global emission certificates
in 2004 to a predicted 50%
by 2012. China is already the largest supplier of credits under the
global scheme: over EUR 2bn of credits have gone from China to
Europe and Japan. And it is not just large companies that can benefit.
Food & Restaurant
Everybody knows the old saying: Love goes through the stomach.
This couldn’t be truer in China. Food and beverages have always
been counted among the most frequently used negotiating tools.
Catered events can promote your company to potential clients, boost
the morale of your employees, bring your distributors together or
strengthen relations with local authorities.
One of the largest companies, Germany’s Allianz SE, can serve as
an example of insurance losses due to natural catastrophes: EUR
847m in losses to floods in Germany in 2002, EUR 1.09bn globally to hurricanes in 2005, and EUR 340m to just one European
windstorm, Kyrill, in 2007. Over 40% of Allianz’ global insurance
losses are weather-related. For all insurers, weather-related claims
have increased 15-fold over the last 30 years. The insurance bill
for southern China’s recent odd-ball weather conditions is not yet
certain, nor is its cause. However, such phenomena lead to predictions that average yearly losses may grow to more than USD 40bn
between 2010 and 2020.
Community
Finally, let them give you an exact breakdown of all costs so you
can find shortcuts to bring the price to the right budget without any
embarrassment. Don’t be content with just the price for food and the
price for drinks per person. Making your event unforgettable doesn’t
have to cost big corporate dollars.

Giving Back
Heart To Heart Shanghai
In 2003, expatriate volunteers formed Heart to Heart to hold weekly hospital
play groups with children hospitalized for heart surgery. Today, Heart to Heart
has expanded its support by fundraising to sponsor children who could not normally afford the necessary surgery. Additionally, Heart to Heart now distributes
clothing, blankets, toys and books to the children in need and their families.
Some book collections have been large enough to start libraries in rural village
schools.
Heart To Heart is entirely run by volunteers. Their maxim Life Saving, Life
Changing and Life Enhancing is paramount in all they do to help the children
have a chance at a longer life. Initially relying on cash donations from members to raise the average RMB 25,000 needed for such surgery, Heart To Heart’s
first sponsorship of a beautiful girl, Guo Xi Ping from Xuyi took place in March
2005. Since returning to her village, volunteers have visited her twice and
learned that now she is one of the top students in her class!
Helping Hands Heart Bears
However, the list of candidates for surgery sponsorship submitted by the Provincial Women’s Federations continued to grow. As a result, the idea of selling Heart
Volunteers assembling heart bears
for the sale of Heart Bears as not only were many sold, but patrons have
since sponsored heart surgery.
Beyond the Hospital Room
Heart To Heart also supports the sponsored children upon returning to their villages, as volunteers noticed that the villages are in need of items such as clothing, blankets, toys and personal hygiene products. A January 2008 visit, amidst
blizzard conditions, to the Huangshan area of Anhui province was timely and
testament to the needs of many of these schools & villages for support. The truck
loads of donated items were gratefully received.
Library Project
Visits to sponsored children’s rural schools have also made volunteers aware that
many were lacking library books and other necessary supplies. Heart To Heart
began promoting the donation of school library books. RMB 15,000 is all that is
required to supply a large quantity of books to such schools. The headmasters
and teachers have expressed their thanks with the old Chinese saying, “receiving a gift of charcoal during a very harsh winter.” Heart To Heart is now eager
to attract many more library sponsorship donations as this provides an ongoing
benefit. Computers are also important and welcome donations. So far, AustCham,
The Australian Women’s Group and Dulwich School have supported this new
venture.

at the hospital. The play sessions benefit
the children both physically and
emotionally.
Books
Yong Chang
The Wild Swans
Paperback edition, German
Expats who have spent any length of time in the
country are torn between fascination and frustration when facing their surroundings, given the
boundless dynamism and obviously limitless possibilities of China’s breakneck development. Society
seems governed by a kind of turbocharged capitalism rather than by communism.
But to understand the seeming incongruity of today’s China, one should study
its history in the 20th century, as portrayed in Yong Chang’s autobiographical
work “The Wild Swans.” She tells the tale of her grandmother, who was sold by
her own father to a Manchurian warlord as a concubine; of the Japanese invasion, and of the war between the Communists and the Nationalists. She tells
of her mother, an enthusiastic, idealistic young cadre, and her journey through
the later half of the 20th century.
Under Deng Xiaoping changes begin that will have such unanticipated results – the
very dynamism that we, lacking context, sometimes have a hard time grasping.
The work’s 700 pages require concentration. Many events are described in detail,
and it is sometimes hard to keep the plot in mind. However, expats who wish to
experience more of their host country than foot massage and the considerable
joys of Chinese cuisine, will gain an understanding of how the current “no holds
barred” development could arise from the influences and trials of recent Chinese
history.

Heart Bears wear or to finish the bears off ready for sale with buttons, a red
crystal heart and a personalized name tag. This personalized name tag bears
the name of one of the 94 children that we have sponsored to date and also
states “a good doctor repaired my heart and now I can walk to school.”
Many individuals and a number of corporations have contributed either in full
or in part to the RMB 25,000 needed to sponsor a child’s surgery. All sponsors are given full details of their sponsored child and are encouraged to visit
the child while he/she is hospitalized. This is a very heart-warming moment
for the child, his/her family and the sponsor.
Our Heart Bears have not only become good sources of income, but have
also raised awareness for Heart To Heart’s mission throughout the Shanghai
expatriate community. Companies such as AMEC & PricewaterhouseCoopers
have purchased them as corporate gifts, and others like Coca-Cola & Visteon
have taken them as consignment for their staff to purchase. Heart to Heart

In his book “Wenn Mao das wüsste” Janis Vougioukas documents Chinas changes.
“To understand China you have to look at the country just as you would through
a microscope,” Vougioukas says.
Wenn Mao das wüsste is a collection of profiles of very different people who try
to balance their lives between modernization and tradition. He followed a coal
miner, who dreams of his own house, a young girl, who has to decide between
a traditional life in China's remote countryside or a new life, in one of China's
booming cities. He writes about a businessman who built a golden toilet to
promote his jewelry business, and the DJ who first introduced Rock'n'Roll music
to China. Together these stories draw a vivid picture of a society on the move.

Joint Showing: Chinese and
German Artist in Huantie
An exhibit entitled “German and Chinese Art” was held in Beijing’s Huantie Art Cluster in January-February,
2008. Huantie is beyond the NE 5th
Ring Road, close to the Dashanzi Art
District.
This exhibit took place in the gallery
of well-known Chinese painter Hao
Li, and was conceived by her as a
compendium of German and Chinese
approaches to art. Her own contribution encompassed a number of her
colorful and touching portrayals of
children at play.
Slightly dazed and disoriented, a shrill voice calling our names jolted us back
into reality as we wandered around the drop-off point for Tiger Leaping Gorge
en route to Zhongdian, known as the ‘real’ Shangri-la. Our guide, thin and
barely 150cm tall with long black hair and bloodshot eyes, motioned for us to
follow. We gave each other a skeptical look, before surveying our guide a second time. His clothes were two sizes too big, and his pockets contained all the
vitals: cigarettes, lighters, a pocket knife and a bottle opener.
“Hello, I am Sky. I am Tibetan nationality and I will be the local guide. So, you
are ready for see Tiger Leaping Gorge?”
We followed cautiously down the stairway, jam-packed with tour groups and
hawkers tooting every worthless trinket imaginable. We shuffled from platform to
platform, took photos and sort of saw the mountain landscape à la mass tourism.
Continuing on to Zhongdian, we stopped at the only restaurant in a small village. We followed Sky to the open-air patio where we plopped down unenthusiastically in flimsy plastic chairs. “Can we get cold beer?” Cold beer, a rarity in
rural China, but at this point I needed a drink.
“Okay, we continue. I want to visit some friends in another village on the way,
what you think?”
“Gah!” my dad replied again enthusiastically. I shot him a shocked glance. A
half hour and several kilometers of winding rounds later, we pulled off the road
onto a muddy lane leading to a tiny, unnamed village set against a backdrop of
snowcapped peaks with clouds hanging so close you could almost touch them.
When we stopped, the entire village stopped. Clearly, few cars and even fewer
foreigners frequented the area. We walked to a two story wooden house, where

Four hours later, we were on back our way to Zhongdian. The trip had definitely taken a turn for the better. Annual horse races in the region brought
everyone out of the house, and livened their antics with intense betting and
dances. Buddhist temples coated in gold towered above valleys below. The air
was fresh and welcome, although thin at the high altitude. On the way back
to Lijiang, we ascended the famous Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, bundled
head to toe. Amidst the lively locals and their vibrant mountain traditions,
one can indeed discover the pure feeling of Shangri-la, where one can reach
up and touch the sky.
The Basics: Zhongdian
When to go: Late spring or early autumn
Transport: flights from Lijiang, Kunming, Lhasa; bus/rental car from Lijiang 4-5 hours, RMB 30-45 one-way

The German artist, Werner Arnold,
has been living in Beijing for 6 years.
Known as a businessman with his
own real estate and consulting firm,
his public debut as an artist put a
spotlight on a previously unknown
facet of his character.
Rigorous, colorized geometric
shapes dominate the world of
his art. For him, color is a sculptural element, often applied with
a spatula. It testifies to the passion, drawing its lifeblood from
precision, with which he seeks to
construct his paintings. Iridescent
blue to lavender paste-like surfaces,
housed within frames of diverse
colors, create depth. They are usually centered within yellow circles
or squares. These paintings are the
“Ordnungsprinzip” come alive as a
leitmotif. We look forward with anticipation to his future work.

Sky immediately popped off all the bottle caps and scratched the underside of
each one frantically. “Gah! We won a free beer!” he screamed in excitement.
“Hey, say Gah! Gah is what Tibetans say when it is good.” I chuckled as we
were given our free beer. My dad popped the top, “Gah! We won again!” Note:
he can’t even read Chinese. Sky signaled he would play along. He motioned for
the waitress, telling her we “won” a second time, and without question, she
brought us a second free beer. This continued until we downed four free beers.
the animals lived on the first floor and the owners occupied the second. The
furniture was wooden, and far more intricate than I had anticipated in the remote mountains of western Yunnan.
The smell of boiling milk wafted through the air, and we soon learned from our
hosts that yak’s milk was being prepared on the iron stove. We took a seat on
small wooden stools and were handed a bowl full of what we thought was water. The sharp liquid cut our taste buds, revealing otherwise. I swallowed with
my eyes clenched shut, then gawked in disbelief as Sky chugged a bowlful of
Qingkejiu – the local liquor. My dad chuckled and motioned towards the yak’s
milk being poured for us. With chopsticks, we slowly sifted ground barley into
the milk for a pudding-like meal. Bland and reminiscent of Cheerios cereal, it
nevertheless helped me polish off the Qingkejiu. Remarkably, Sky finished three
bowls, telling us story after story of bar fights and local women.
