JANEIRO Danielle Hunter Jersey , Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- A flying man, driven by a few powerful water jets at his feet, flew up after emerging from a swimming pool and mounting on a float.

In another moment of the show, a large drone decorated as a flying saucer soared above the dancers, adding fun and splendidness to Sambadrome, Rio's internationally famous parade performance during carnival which ended on Tuesday night.

The performance of Portela samba school Eric Kendricks Jersey , along with other schools, stunned the 72,500 spectators in Rio, with creativeness involving various tricks. The performers also added a touch of magic and amazement to win judges' heart at Sambadrome, also a competition.

Performers from Salgueiro samba school dressed up as typical rascal characters in the city's most traditional neighborhoods, depicting prostitution Trae Waynes Jersey , illegal betting and nightclubs in their dance.

As always, Salgueiro made an effort to put together a happy and catchy song, performed by dancers in the 70-minute-long show.

The highlight of Villa Isabel school's performance was its "drum queen," a well-known local television presenter Sabrina Sato, who wore a stunning gold costume that caught sunlight while she was dancing.

The Sao Clemente school dedicated their performance to clowns, with various colors Laquon Treadwell Jersey , games and surprises for the public.

However, it suffered a mishap when their "drum queen" slipped and fell close to the judges.

For the competition, slight differences in the points could decide between winning and losing the championship title. For a small school like Sao Clemente, the slippage could mean relegation to the second division if the judges deemed it necessary.

The champion will be announced after the 36 judges have graded each performance based on criteria such as costumes, floats, music and themes.

Sambadrome choreographer and designer Paulo Barros Ben Gedeon Jersey , famous in the Rio carnival for his special effects, choreography, costume and carriage design, has become one of the biggest award winners in recent years.

The star likes to involve vehicles and lots of people in his choreography but is also criticized by traditional audiences for deemphasizing samba dance.

Three German car parts suppliers have been told by China they can no longer manage their Chinese units independently but need to form partnerships with local peers, the chief executive of auto parts maker ElringKlinger told a German newspaper.

Such a decision, if substantiated Dalvin Cook Jersey , would fit with an increasingly tough stance adopted by China's competition regulator, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), towards the foreign car industry.

It recently began to investigate foreign carmakers following complaints that they were overcharging Chinese customers.

"The Chinese state has told several (German car) suppliers that they are no longer allowed to operate their Chinese subsidiaries on their own but only as part of a joint venture in the future," ElringKlinger's Stefan Wolf was quoted as saying in the Monday edition of Stuttgarter Zeitung.

Wolf said he knew of three companies that now needed to look for a Chinese partner, but did not name them. He said ElringKlinger had not been affected for now.

The companies targeted tend to have expertise in key technologies, Wolf told the paper Daniel Carlson Jersey , adding that ElringKlinger had already transferred a lot of know-how to its Chinese division.

"I believe this is an attempt to catch up on know-how and innovation," he told the paper.

GERMAN SUPPLIERS

Foreign automakers like Volkswagen and Daimler are obliged to form joint ventures in China, but several overseas component makers have not been subject to the same requirements.

Those companies have expanded their operations in China, the world's largest auto market, and grabbed a bigger part of the industry's value chain as car manufacturers cut back on research and development to keep down fixed costs.

In 2012, suppliers spent 37 billion euros ($49 billion) on research and development Mike Hughes Jersey , equivalent to 69 percent of global automotive research and development spending, according to consulting firm Oliver Wyman.

As a result, their share of overall value creation in the automotive industry is expected to rise to 81.1 percent by 2025 from 77.3 pct in 2012, according to the firm.

GERMAN COMPANIES UNAWARE

German auto parts maker Robert Bosch GmbH's China unit said it has not received any notification from Chinese authorities with regard to changes of foreign investment policies related to the automotive component industry.

"We believe that foreign investment will continue to play a vital role in China's economic development and foresee (an) improving investment environment of fairness and open competition in China," Bosch said in an e-mailed statement. Bosch already has some joint ventures in China.

Continental, another major German automotive supplier Anthony Barr Jersey , said it had received no requests from the Chinese authorities to form joint ventures. The China units of U.S. engine maker Cummins Inc and France's Faurecia SA said they were unaware of any policy changes.

A spokesman for automotive cable and wiring systems supplier Leoni AG said it too was unaware of a current request, but acknowledged that Chinese authorities had been in touch about forming a joint venture in the past.

China last week fined a dozen Japanese parts makers a record $201 million for manipulating prices, and European car brands including Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes are scrambling to lower prices for new cars and spare parts to appease Chinese regulators who have accused some of them of anti-competitive behaviour.

Chinese investment bank China International Capital Corp said in a report on Monday that the Chinese government was more likely to urge foreign component makers to "voluntarily" seek Chinese partnership during the approval process, rather than make drastic .
