5 mars 2011 - Reportages en Chine - Laisser un commentaire Chine Assembl?e nationale populaire, discours de Wen Jiaobao faisant le bilan des 5 derni?res ann?
Il arrive que des titres de chapitres à eux-seuls vous disent tout un monde. C'est le cas pour ce livre étonnant, dont l'intitulé de la première partie ouvre même sur deux univers. « Pourquoi tant de croix dans vos musées ? » . Oui, pourquoi tant de vierges et de crucifix peuplent-ils les chefs d'œuvre de la peinture occidentale, s'interroge un érudit professeur chinois. Wu Hongmiao est le doyen du département de français de l'université de Wuhan .

A big concern on top of urban transportation planner’s mind is how to speed up the traffic: putting more buses on the road will jam the roads even worse and deteriorate the air; building more subway is costly and time consuming. Well, here is an cheaper, greener and fast alternative to lighten their mind up a bit: the straddling bus, first exhibited on the 13th Beijing International High-tech Expo in May this year. In the near future, the model is to be put into pilot use in Beijing’s Mentougou District ( bjnews ). (The official site of the high-tech expo put it as 3D fast bus, which I think is more confusing, for now I’ll just call it the straddling bus.) Proposed by Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co., Ltd, the model looks like a subway or light-rail train bestriding the road. It is 4-4.5 m high with two levels: passengers board on the upper level while other vehicles lower than 2 m can go through under.
