Leave a comment

BEIJING, Dec. 16, 2020 — A video by China.org.cn: China’s poverty reduction work about health care. How did China solve the problem of poverty caused by ill-health.

 

In the past 70 years, life expectancy in China has improved from 35 to 77.3 years, higher than global average life expectancy of 72 years.

In 2019, the input of medical treatment aid funding from central government was US$35 million. 77.82 million people were helped to join basic medical insurance, and 61.8 million people received direct assistance.

A complete system of national healthcare insurance is almost in place covering 99.9% of rural population nationwide. The triple guarantee system covers almost every individual.

25 diseases are now listed for critical illness assistance. The treatment of critical illness, and the classified treatment scheme has been steadily improved.

98.7% of patients suffering from critical and chronic diseases have received treatment. Great efforts are being made to assist patients with critical and chronic diseases.

A medical system is almost complete in which every county has one or two public hospitals, every township has public medical centers, and every village has clinics.

Since 2015, 14,000 more general practitioner have started working in rural areas, and 60,000 village doctors have received training.

Universal access to health examinations, including cervical and breast cancer screenings and pre-pregnancy checkups for rural women contribute to a low national maternal mortality ratio, which is well within the SDG 3 target.

As of the end of 2018, nutrition improvement projects for children in rural areas had already covered 715 counties classified as impoverished at national level and benefited 7.22 million children.

Getting Indonesia Data Center Ready for SEA Booming Digital Economy

Leave a comment

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Dec. 15, 2020 — Southeast Asia (SEA) has set the seal on the top spot globally as the mobile economy hotspot, overtaken China as a giant economy country. According to the study, there are more than 400 million internet users in the SEA region which accounts for around 10% of the world’s total internet users. Indonesia has reached 175,4 million, with penetration at 64% of the total Indonesian population of 272,1 million.

Most of the growth is set down to Indonesia which has the largest population in the SEA region wherein (Indonesia) the number of internet users has witnessed growth of 20% over the past two years, equating to an estimate of 29 million new users. It is expected that Indonesia will be one of the major three fastest-growing e-commerce countries globally which include India, and Malaysia.

This does not come as a surprise, and the archipelago’s digital economy is expected to be the largest in Southeast Asia. According to the annual e-Conomy Southeast Asia study by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, its market value is expected to triple to US$309 billion by 2025, driven by the rise of e-commerce, ride-hailing and online gaming.

To realize this billion-dollar potential, Indonesia needs to overcome the lack of robust digital infrastructure that hurdle both the public and private sectors. In order to reap the full benefits of digital transformation, investing in ICT is key, especially data center and network capabilities as these are backbones to successful implementation of innovative technologies.

Ensuring Indonesia data center scalability for booming digital economy

The Indonesian data centre colocation market is concentrated in the Greater Jakarta region in West Java. The Jakarta data centre market is set to enter an accelerated growth phase. The market is expected to have 72.5MW of total inventory built out by the end of 2020 and this will grow at a five-year CAGR of 22.3% according to Structure Research projections.

Currently, Indonesia’s colocation data centre market is at a beginning stage. It is relatively challenging for overseas data centre colocation operators looking to enter or expand, due the lack of rich fibre infrastructure outside the Golden Triangle and vibrant domestic outsourcing market.

Now the question is, how optimized are data center operators in Indonesia alone to cater the booming digital economy?

In-house or multi-tenant data center operators need to brace themselves for the surging volume of data and the growing expectations of a seamless digital experience. DCI Indonesia, Telkomsigma, Biznet and others are prominent players in the Indonesian market.

"There are tremendous opportunities ahead, the cloud is growing exponentially along with the booming digital economy, and they need to provide [the] infrastructure to cater for the cloud. The advantages are undoubtedly driving demand and fueling recent growth of new hyperscale facilities in Indonesia. Currently, this market has DCI Indonesia to fulfill the demand for hyperscalers to enter the market," said Philbert Shih, Managing Director of Structure Research.

DCI Indonesia, has built a 200MW facility at 85,000 sq m land in Cibitung at Greater Jakarta last year, the first largest hyperscale campus in Indonesia, to meet future capacity needs seamlessly.

"As an Indonesian company, DCI Indonesia is the pioneer of the largest single site hyperscale data center facility in Indonesia with current capacity 22 MW, total up to 200 MW growth. Our long-term vision is to provide the best in class data center, to reinforce our commitment and seriousness in supporting the development of Indonesia’s digital economy towards the coming of the Industrial Revolution 4.0," DCI CEO Toto Sugiri said.

Hyperscale cloud is the primary driver of growth in this market, creating steady demand for wholesale data centre capacity.

The Jakarta data centre colocation market is set to take off as Internet adoption accelerates in the mass market and enterprises begin to use various infrastructure outsourcing models. Much of this activity is moving to hyperscale cloud platforms and the data centre market is positioned to take full advantage.

Hyperscale will create demand for wholesale colocation to house the supporting infrastructure and drive uptake of interconnection services to integrate and scale with cloud services. For the total Jakarta market, built out capacity in 2025 is projected to reach 198.5MW, with maximum build out capacity of 236.3MW. 

It may take a while longer for the emerging SEA countries, like Indonesia, to mature. But, Indonesia is set to be the fastest growing market for data centres in SEA, with a growth rate of 22 per cent per annum over the next five years.

The wholesale data centre colocation portion of the market is expected to grow at a five-year CAGR of 43.5% between 2020-25. The wholesale data centre colocation market alone will reach approximately 131.2 MW of built out capacity in 2025.

This research and trends shows Indonesia as a "hotspot" for hyperscale data center investment within the next five years, driven by the rise in cloud adoption.  Google’s, Alibaba, and AWS entry into Indonesia also demonstrates a developing interest in the country as a substitute to Singapore.

Toto Sugiri, CEO of DCI Indonesia, added, "As of today, we continue to witness strong market demand from our current customers as well as global business players looking to enter the market. To keep up with demand, DCI Indonesia has completed the final stages of construction for our newest data center building, JK5, with the capacity of 15 MW, an additional 20% (approximately) from current capacity built out in Indonesia. This gave us a strong foundation to grow our business in supporting the readiness of Indonesia data center for this SEA booming digital economy in the next future".

Secret behind speedy construction of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Dec. 12, 2020 — A news report by China.org.cn:

At the beginning of 2020, billions of netizens at home and abroad joined online and cheered for the speedy construction of two hospitals in Wuhan. It was during the Spring Festival when CSCEC built two emergency hospitals – Huoshenshan and Leishenshan – in 10 and 12 days, respectively. The daunting tasks were completed by CSCEC through its robust supply chain and rapid construction capacity, backed by its core technologies and scientific innovations.

New model of Chinese construction

Facing dire conditions, CSCEC formulated an integrated technical standard for the emergency hospitals, from design, manufacturing, construction to operation. By translating the techniques into modular products and systematic manufacturing, the company managed to achieve speedy construction and delivery within an extremely short time.

CSCEC orchestrated a staggered workflow model with standardized components, sophisticated timeline, and systematic organization. All feasible tasks were carried out simultaneously to achieve the highest efficiency. It also used the Beidou navigation system for the precise location and to survey of the original topography and geomorphology.

New height of ‘Chinese Construction Speed’

The structures and layouts of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan were highly modular. The ward buildings take on a cabinet structure that can be assembled and combined to form medical units. And the space for medical staff and patients was neatly divided to minimize the risk of cross infection. All patient rooms were container structures built with anti-firing and anti-combustion materials, meticulously designed to be pre-fabricated in factories and assembled on site, like putting together a set of building blocks.

Because of their unique functions and higher standards of regulation, hospitals for infectious diseases are very complex in and of itself. The construction involves hundreds of companies and occupations, not to mention tens of thousands of materials and equipment – from the heavy machinery, container structures, basic construction materials, negative pressure system for ventilation, impermeable materials of environmental quality standards, medical oxygen tanks, to air conditioners and bath and toilet appliances for patient rooms, and desks and chairs for medical offices. All the manufacturing and shipping were undertaken by Chinese companies, clearly demonstrating China’s strength in infrastructure construction and hardware production. It also showcased CSCEC’s capacity in planning, coordinating, and organizing industrial production and supply chain.

The competitive edge of Chinese construction

The entire construction process of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals was supported by CSCEC’s digital regulation platform – Intelligent Construction Site – which was built upon technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data. By linking the 17 information systems of five categories most commonly used by hospitals, it constituted an "intelligent brain," offering a smart security system, smart logistics, smart imaging reading, and zero-contact operation. By applying building information modeling, the construction team was able to run digital simulation of laying cords and pipes with a total length of 360,000 meters, and more than 6,000 pieces of information. A three-dimensional model was generated with data and designated numbers, which was further attuned by on-site workers to the highest precision. In this way, more than 100 sub-contract projects, thousands of procedures, and more than 40,000 construction workers could work seamlessly and advance synchronously.

In addition, due to their proximity to large water bodies, the disposal of medical waste and waste water treatment was closely watched by the public as well. CSCEC worked strictly in accordance with "Construction Standards of Hospitals for infectious Diseases," executed bio-safety disposal of waste water, waste materials, and pollutants, and accomplished the goals of "zero spreading" and "zero infection."

Application of technological innovations overseas

Building upon its construction experience in China, China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) gives full play to its advantages in providing turnkey solutions and integrated construction capabilities. CSCEC continuously promotes innovative construction technologies such as green, smart, and safe construction to go global. Major projects overseas have also demonstrated the company’s profound technology accumulation and innovation capabilities.

The China-funded Butuka Academy of Papua New Guinea is a prefabricated steel modular building constructed by CSCEC. Based on the local climatic and site conditions, its design adopted local architectural features such as large roofs and bottom overhead, and aims to make the building more ecologically and environmentally friendly on the premise of fully satisfying the functions and practicability of the building.

In November 2019, the Sukkur-Multan section of the Pakistan Peshawar-Karachi Motorway (PKM) undertaken by CSCEC was officially opened to traffic. PKM is the largest transportation infrastructure project along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. This project took the lead in adopting modified asphalt technology from China and green construction to build the entire route. Being able to withstand a once-in-100-year flood, it is a highway project of the highest design standard and most advanced intelligent systems in Pakistan.

In March 2020, the sea-crossing Temburong Bridge in Brunei was inaugurated. This bridge is a fully-prefabricated viaduct that has the most spans in the world to date. CSCEC employed the "fishing method" – meaning to build a bridge on the bridge – in the construction process to solve environmental problems. During construction, all the machinery and equipment stayed in the air without making contact with the marshland or damaging the rainforest. Pile foundation and pile cap construction, T-beam erection, and other operations were all completed on mobile steel platforms. Compared to traditional bridge construction methods, this project adopted full prefabricated construction that is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Components were manufactured at one site and assembled at another. Moving component manufacturing to a workshop not only freed up space on the construction site, but also greatly reduced the impact of dust, mud, and other construction waste on the virgin forest.

With a height of 528 meters, China Zun is the first skyscraper over 500 meters in the world that stands on an area of 8-degree seismic fortification intensity. The construction process adopted the new generation of aerial work platform independently developed by CSCEC. This platform has a carrying capacity of over 2,000 metric tons and can withstand a force-14 hurricane. It also achieved the integration of a 3,000-metric-ton tower crane and the platform. This technology was also applied in the Iconic Tower project in the central business district of Egypt’s new administrative capital. In the construction process of the Iconic Tower, the fastest building speed of the aerial work platform reached one level in five days, which greatly improved the construction efficiency and set a record in Egypt’s construction industry.

Technological innovation is the core driving force for promoting the high-quality development of the construction industry. To explore new construction methods is to realize innovation-driven development. Adhering to the corporate mission of "expanding a happy living environment," CSCEC will continuously pursue innovation-led development, strengthen technological support, and strive to develop smart construction, green construction, industrialized construction, and other technological fields, in order to contribute to the development of the global construction industry.

BEIJING, Dec. 11, 2020 — A video by China.org.cn on How did China lift nearly 100 million people out of poverty in 8 years? The detailed methods and policies taken in the past few years.

 

How did China’s targeted poverty alleviation efforts help lift nearly 100 million people out of poverty in just eight years as its rural impoverished population decreased from 98.99 million in 2012 to 5.51 million in 2019?

Accurate identification of poverty alleviation targets

China’s absolute poverty line is higher than the World Bank’s. China’s poverty threshold is 2,300 yuan of yearly income per person in constant 2010 prices, which is higher than the WB’s US$1.90-a-day standard.

Income statuses and causes of poverty have been identified accurately.

Efforts have been made to understand impoverished families’ food, housing, work, education, healthcare situations to design specific plans to escape from poverty.

Targeted implementation

Millions of poverty reduction officials have worked in impoverished areas and helped the households solve real problems.

More than 3 million outstanding government officials working at the city level and higher have been helping reduce poverty in rural China in addition to the 2 million officials who were already working in villages and townships.

The central government has provided a large amount of funding for the endeavor.

Broad participation has occurred throughout all sectors of society including pairing assistance, east-west cooperation, and consumption-oriented poverty reduction.

Industries have also been developed based on local conditions.

Efficient management

A poverty alleviation funding management system was created that helps ensure that funds are used effectively and that there is accountability for improper use.

Assessment of sufficient access to food, clothing, education, healthcare, and safe housing and an extensive satisfaction survey and third-party evaluation help to ensure that poverty alleviation achievements withstand the test of history.
