PARIS, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- The PSA Group, France's largest automaker, said Thursday that its net income rose by 79 percent to 2.14 billion euros (2.25
billion U.S. dollars) last year, thanks to the recovery in global demand and
improvement in operating efficiency.
The French company's revenues increased by 2.1 percent to 54.03 billion euros (57.001 billion dollars) in 2016, after selling 5.8 percent more units around
the world to 3.15 million vehicles, PSA, which owns the Peugeot and Citroen
brands, said in a statement.
For its automotive division, PSA reported a profit of 37.066 billion euros (39.104 billion dollars), up by 2.7 percent year on year due to the success of
new models and the group's pricing power strategy.
"The group is building the conditions for profitable and sustainable growth, reinforced by the success of the first launches in its product offensive," PSA
Chairman and CEO Carlos Tavares said.
"These results demonstrate our ability to consistently deliver an excellent performance in an adverse environment. They are the outcome of the group's
operating efficiency improvement and our competitive teams' focus on the
execution of the Push to Pass plan," he added.
Looking to its performance in 2017, the French company expected a stable automotive market in Europe, Latin America and Russia, as well as a 5-percent
growth in the Chinese market.
XI'AN, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Zheng Yan has told stories about the Terracotta Warriors thousands of times and knows more about the Xi'an icons than many
natives of the ancient city, but she is not yet recognized as a permanent
resident.
Recently, however, the 29-year-old tour guide, who is applying for household registration permit, or "hukou," saw hope in a new policy.
The hukou is a crucial document entitling residents to social welfare in a given city. The capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province eased its rules
from March 1.
Under the new policy, permanent residency is available to non-natives like Zheng if they are aged 35 or below, are graduates and are willing to work, live
or start a business in the city.
Migrants can transform their status from temporary to permanent resident if they meet certain requirements, such as buying property, investing a large sum
of money or being identified as "talents" fulfilling certain criteria.
Statistics show that within two days, the Xi'an government answered questions from more than 16,000 non-natives, handling about 3,700 applications.
FREE LABOR MOVEMENT
Zheng graduated from Baoji University of Arts and Sciences in 2011. Attracted by its historical monuments and cultural relics, she became a tour guide in
Xi'an, about four hours drive from her home city, Ankang.
But working and owning a house there has not made her feel a real part of the city.
"Permanent Xi'an residents enjoy preferential policies in purchasing vehicles and houses, and even obtaining driving licenses," said Zheng, adding that
non-natives have to pay extra fees of 40,000 yuan (around 5,800 U.S. dollars) to
50,000 yuan for children to finish at the local public primary schools.
The household registration system has divided the nation into rural and urban populations since the 1950s. The system makes it difficult for migrants to enjoy
equal welfare in cities, such as educational opportunities, employment support
and care for senior citizens.
And it has been long criticized for hindering free labor movement, which is essential to building a modern society.
"The new policy eliminated people's worries and is helpful for us to keep talent in the city," said a manager, surnamed Li, from a Xi'an-based biological
product company.
The new policy allows the company's chief engineer, 50-year-old man surnamed Liu, to gain permanent residency. Liu started to work for the company in 2015,
but his hukou was from his hometown Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei Province.
"Separation from my hukou always brings me troubles," Liu said. "Once I lost my ID card, and I had to catch a 13-hour train to Shijiazhuang to apply for a
new one. I feel closer to the city these days. It is my hom.
