Lancaster says 'ni hao' to Chinese investors

Parris said Lancaster was "leading the pack" to become the location for a new car-making plant owned by the Chinese manufacturer BYD Co. Ltd, a giant in the rechargeable battery industry.



A delegation of Lancaster businesspeople, clergy and city staff will travel to China before spring to meet with potential investors, Parris said. Lancaster is also pursuing a sister-city relationship with Huainan, in China's central Anhui province. And Lancaster is considering establishing a bilingual English-Mandarin charter school in an effort to entice more Asians to move to the city, Parris said. 

"You can't just say you're a comfortable place for Chinese to do business, you have to be a comfortable place for Chinese to do business," Parris said.


Dominican capital turns Chinese yellow, with taxis

Santo Domingo mayor Roberto Salcedo today received the first 700 cars of the 3,000 which are part of a fleet of taxis for Greater Santo Domingo.
The all-yellow taxis, from the China automaker BYD (Build Your Dreams), arrived at San Soucí Port, and will be financed for eligible drivers with a 50% tax exemption.
Salcedo said the new taxis aim to improve the quality of the service in the Dominican capital, where riders can travel in comfort and safety.
“When you board a taxi you’ll know that it’s not just any a taxi, but a taxi which is regulated, properly identified and which its driver can guarantee a good service,” the official said, adding that the City Council’s Taxi Regulatory Agency (CART), will orient the drivers and issue the operating permits.
