Pakistan, China ties to be strengthened in Wen visit

ISLAMABAD: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s upcoming visit to Pakistan is intended to reassure Islamabad that the two countries’ energy, military and economic ties will remain tight, despite Beijing’s growing relations with New Delhi.

China and Pakistan are set to deepen their strategic relationship. China wants to use Pakistan as a gateway to the Muslim world and as a new Silk Road for China’s energy-hungry interior, as well as a balance against India’s military rise.

Pakistan, in turn, plans to further rely on China for the bulk of its weapon systems, as a major investor for its ports and roads, and as a counter-weight to American demands and conditions in the fight against Islamist militancy.

Key to the maintenance of this seemingly happy relationship is China’s treatment of Pakistan as an equal to India.

PSA Peugeot Citroen will introduce a new, second-generation, Stop-Start system on its vehicles in the third quarter of the current year.

The system, which has been developed by Valeo, will be coupled with the HDi diesel engines from the Peugeot and Citroen ranges and will be features on both manual and automated manual transmissions models, with the carmaker having targeting to equip one million vehicles with the system by 2013.
Xebec’s PSA was purchased by PT Indo Raya Kimia, a leading producer of carbon disulphide (“CS2″) in Asia Pacific. Xebec’s PSA will upgrade lower quality natural gas used as a feed stock in the production of CS2.

“This is Xebec’s first sale of an M-3200 PSA for natural gas upgrading in South East Asia, following our successful installations at both offshore and on-shore gas processing facilities in California. We aim to build on this first project in Indonesia to expand our PSA sales in the gas process market across South East Asia,” said Andrew Hall, Xebec Vice President for Asia/Pacific.

“In many countries in South East Asia, including Indonesia, the quality of commercial natural gas is quite variable, and gas supplies can be contaminated with carbon dioxide as new lower-quality gas wells and fields are brought on stream. Xebec’s M-3200 PSA is a compact, reliable and cost effective solution to remove carbon dioxide from sub-quality natural gas, increasing the methane content to meet the stringent specifications required by industrial consumers of natural gas. In this specific application, Xebec’s PSA will assist our customer to increase the productivity and reduce the maintenance downtime of their CS2 synthesis process,” said Hall.

Robert Pattinson Dead, Hurricane Bill became a Category 4 storm as it rumbled across the Atlantic early Wednesday with maximum sustained winds near 135 mph.

And forecasters say the dangerous hurricane could get even stronger.

The National Hurricane Center said people in the Leeward Islands should monitor Bill’s progress, though the core of the storm was expected to pass well to the northeast of the islands late Wednesday and early Thursday.

“The wind sheer is light and the waters are warm,” Todd Kimberlain, a forecaster at the center, said Tuesday. “Those are two essential ingredients not just for the formation, but also the maintenance, of hurricanes.”
