Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract A new fuel consumption standard for passenger vehicles in China, the so-called Phase 3 standard, was approved technically in 2009 and will take effect in 2012. This standard aims to introduce advanced energy-saving technologies into passenger vehicles and to reduce the average fuel consumption rate of Chinese new passenger vehicle fleet in 2015 to 7 L/100 km. The Phase 3 standard follows the evaluating system by specifying fuel consumption targets for sixteen individual mass-based classes. Different from compliance with the Phases 1 and 2 fuel consumption standards, compliance of the Phase 3 standard is based on corporate average fuel consumption (CAFC) rates for individual automobile companies. A transition period from 2012 to 2014 is designed for manufacturers to gradually adjust their production plans and introduce fuel-efficient technologies. In this paper, we, the designers of the Phase 3 standard, present the design of the overall fuel consumption reduction target, technical feasibility, and policy implications of the Phase 3 standard. We also explore several enforcement approaches for the Phase 3 standard with financial penalties of non-compliance as a priority. Finally, we estimate the overall effect of the Phase 3 standard on oil savings and CO2 emission reductions.

Teaching Chinese senior public officials in Singapore / Wenxuan, Yu ; Wei, Wu   Journal Article
Wei, Wu Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is one of the most important overseas educational institutions that provides professional public administration training for senior Chinese public officials. Since 2012, the landscape of overseas professional public administration training has been drastically changed by the new administration of Chinese President Xi Jinping. It is therefore an opportune moment to reflect on NTU’s experience and prepare for the new changes. In this article, the authors share insights from their teaching experience, personal observations and interviews at NTU in the past decade since the Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) programme was first introduced, and discuss the challenges encountered in teaching Chinese senior public officials. This article also examines the development of professional public administration training in China, and makes recommendations for future research.
