Helan

  1. A county of Yinchuan, Ningxia, China.
    • 1993, A. Doak Barnett, “Han and Hui: Ningxia”, in China's Far West: Four Decades of Change[2], Westview Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 133:
      One Ningxia economist, a conservative, argued that the chengbao system should be the main thrust of reform for some time. Another argued strongly, however, that priority should be given to reform of the ownership system and that much greater encouragement should be given to private enterprises. This man cited a recently organized private enterprise that made auto parts in Helan County near Yingchuan[sic – meaning Yinchuan] as a success story and an example of what was needed.
    • 2013, Rongxing Guo, “Ningxia”, in Regional China: A Business and Economic Handbook[3], →ISBN, →OCLC, page 228[4]:
      Desheng Industrial Park Located in Helan County, this is a base for about 400 enterprises. It has industrial chains from Muslim food and commodities to trade and logistics, new materials and bio-pharmaceuticals, which have ¥80 billion in fixed assets.
