European aeronautics giant Airbus announced Friday that it is to create a new joint venture to produce parts and composite materials in China.
"Airbus and a group of Chinese industrial partners today signed a contract which will lead to a joint-venture production centre in Harbin, China," the group said in a statement.
"This centre will produce parts and composite elements due for use under the A350 XWB programme and within the A320 family of Airbus craft," and will be operational come September this year, with a second plant due to open in 2010.
The shareholding will see 50 percent held by the Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Company Limited (HAIG); 20 percent by Airbus China; with Hafei Aviation Industry Company Limited (HAI), Avichina Industry et Technology Company Limited (AVICHINA) et Harbin Development Zone Heli Infrastructure Development Company Limited (HELI) each taking a 10 percent stake.
Airbus in September opened a new plant in the Chinese port of Tianjin, the the firm's first outside of Europe.

The Secret Life of Bees - 2008
Personally I felt the performances were outstanding. Alicia Keyes was wonderful,Queen was the pillar of strength, Hudson proved that her Oscar wasn't a fluke,but most importantly you are able to watch a cute and charming little girl actress give a phenomenal mature performance worthy of Oscar consideration. Dakota Fanning is a delight to watch.I wanted the story to end in a more positive manner.I believe that the end of the movie should have been when all the women are united on the steps with Lily,after her father leaves her behind.It is a very unique story and I believe many will be moved by these incredible talented women,whether black or white. It does have a few slow moments,but the film is intriguing in a way that made you desire to see more.Absolutely some of the most beautiful cinematic shots. Overall a great drama!
Afro Samurai Resurrection - 2009
Not for the faint of heart, this latest entry in the Afro Samurai series continues a tremendous effort in line drawing style animation, and may by some be seen as frequently a bit too abrupt in frame-to-frame action, but it manages to be so well aligned within the graphic novel genre (so that if you blink during sequences what you retain may be a panel by panel view of what the story needs, and what a comic reader wants). I give it the 10 of 10 full rating as a classic piece that works very well without the usual massive CGI effects most folks seem to expect these days in anything considered 'animated'. Yes, it is more than a bit bloody in nature, but contains a message 'of honor' and more fundamental - the message to carry on if you believe in something. Very well done, thank you Samuel Jackson for the terse comments from a no nonsense character. I highly recommend this film, but it is not for young kids...
