		<description><![CDATA[BEIJING (Xinhua) &#8212; China on Thursday called on the Philippines to send clear and consistent messages on diplomatic solutions to the ongoing standoff between the two countries in the South China Sea. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the remarks at a routine press briefing when asked to comment on Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario&#8217;s recent remarks on bilateral ties. Del Rosario said on Wednesday that he hoped a breakthrough will soon end the dispute so the two countries can resume normal relations, but he also urged the Philippine people to unite and defend their territories. Hong said China has noted the remarks as well as other positive statements from the Philippine side on maintaining bilateral ties. He called for clear and consistent diplomatic solutions from the Philippines to the current situation, which would be conducive to dialogues between the two sides. The spokesman also reaffirmed that the Chinese government will unswervingly safeguard its territorial sovereignty and stand for diplomatic negotiations to resolve the current tensions. Media reports said that the Philippines has imposed a two-month fishing ban around Huangyan Island in the South China Sea. Reportedly starting on Wednesday and ending on July 15, it follows the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BEIJING, May 17 (Xinhua) &#8212; Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff had a phone conversation Thursday on bilateral ties and the U.N. Sustainable Development Conference to be hosted by Brazil in June. Wen said the development of China-Brazil ties has good momentum; cooperation has been fruitful; the strategic and global natures of the bilateral ties have become increasingly obvious. To strengthen China-Brazil cooperation is of great significance and enjoys broad prospects against the backdrop of changing international situation and uncertainties in global economic recovery, Wen said. China is ready to work with Brazil to push the bilateral strategic partnership to a new level and deepen the relationship between China and Latin America as a whole, he said. As for the upcoming U.N. conference in Rio de Janeiro next month, Wen said the meeting should send out positive and clear and strong signals and inject new energy to global sustainable development. China will participate in the conference in an active and constructive manner and will cooperate with Brazil in a bid to make the conference a success. Rousseff said Brazil and China are important strategic cooperative partners that enjoy broad potential for mutually beneficial cooperation. The two sides [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thursday urged North Korea to ensure the safety and lawful rights of 29 Chinese fishermen whose boats were allegedly hijacked by a North Korean vessel on May 8. &#8220;China is maintaining close communication with the North Korean side through related channels and hopes the matter will be properly resolved as early as possible,&#8221; foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters when asked about the reported abduction of three Chinese fishing vessels. An official with North Korea&#8217;s foreign ministry told the Global Times Thursday that they were still trying to determine circumstances of the incident. The same response was given by a staffer from Pyongyang&#8217;s official Rodong Sinmun newspaper. An officer with the North Korean embassy in Beijing said they had &#8220;just learnt some information&#8221; of the kidnapping from the Internet. The three Chinese fishing boats were captured by a vessel hailing from North Korean waters as they were trawling in the Yellow Sea, according to owners of the boats. The captors set Thursday as the deadline for paying a ransom and threatened to dispose the vessels if their demand was not met. Zhang Dechang, one of the boat owners, told the Global Times Thursday that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Media reports said Thursday the second prototype of China&#8217;s J-20 stealth jet had completed its maiden flight, which was described by analysts as one step closer toward deployment. The Xinhua News Agency posted nearly 20 pictures of the test flight &#8220;taken by Internet users.&#8221; It said the fighter jet took off at 2:49 pm Wednesday and successfully landed about 20 minutes lataer. Online witness accounts said that before Thursday&#8217;s flight, the second prototype, codenamed 2002, conducted a series of high-speed taxiing tests Tuesday at the airfield of the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation. &#8220;Judging from the pictures, the 2002 is not greatly different from the first prototype, which means that the general layout of the J-20 does not need major modifications,&#8221; Bai Wei, a writer for the UK-based Air Forces Monthly, told the Global Times. &#8220;The fighter should have excellent nose-pointing abilities, namely the ability to quickly direct its nose (sensors) toward hostile aircraft and get a lock-on,&#8221; Bai said. A source with the air force told the Global Times on condition of anonymity that the development of China&#8217;s fifth generation jet fighter is advancing at a reasonable pace, and more prototypes will be produced during the process for different tests [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, May 17 (Xinhua) &#8212; Chinese and American officials recognize the importance of maintaining good, uninterrupted military-to-military relations, and the U.S. Pacific Command will do whatever it can to further that goal, commander Samuel Locklear was quoted as saying Thursday. &#8220;They (China) are an emerging power, and we are a mature power. How they emerge, and how we encourage them will be an important key to both China and the United States,&#8221; Locklear told the American Forces Press Service in an interview. Having better military-to-military communications will allow both the U.S. and China to understand each other, which is &#8220;for the good of the global security environment,&#8221; he said. Military-to-military contacts are one way to build trust between the nations, so when things happen, the commanders can reach out to one another. Sometimes it&#8217;s impossible for capitals to talk to each other, but commanders with these types of contacts can calm things down a bit, Locklear said. On his recent visit to China, Locklear said that he was encouraged by the progress made on promoting the U.S.-China military-to-military relations despite some differences. &#8220;I&#8217;m hopeful that we can continue to have a dialogue and just talk together,&#8221; the commander said.

		<description><![CDATA[Forget big city lights and slick streets, China’s next consumption surge may have its roots in the rural sector. In a country of 1.3 billion people, half live in villages. That’s 650 million rural Chinese consumers, and according to a report released by Nielsen on Thursday, China’s rural consumer market is a $500 billion opportunity that’s been largely untapped until now. Dale Preston, senior vice president, Analytics and Consulting at Nielsen Greater China says the rural market has been overlooked because companies have so far largely focused on the middle class and top-tier cities. But rising wages are changing China’s shopping landscape. “We’re seeing that in rural areas, consumers’ lifestyles are improving. They are getting more money and they want to experience brands for the first time,” says Preston. “They have a real desire to improve their lives… these consumers are ready to buy.” Ironically, inflation, which has worried investors and policy makers over the past year, has been the farmer’s friend. “One of the main drivers for China&#8217;s rural consumption boom is the rise in food prices which has raised income among farmers,” says Frederic Neumann, Managing Director and Co-head of Asian Economics Global Research at HSBC Higher prices [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GUANGZHOU, May 16 (Xinhua) &#8212; A two-and-a half month fishing ban began at noon Wednesday in most parts of the South China Sea as part of ongoing efforts to rehabilitate the area&#8217;s marine resources, according to fishery authorities. The Hainan provincial marine and fishing department said all 8,994 of the area&#8217;s locally-registered fishing vessels have been moored. The annual fishing ban, which has been in place since 1999, will last from May 16 to August 1 this year, covering areas north of the 12th parallel, including Huangyan Island but excluding most of the Nansha Islands. The fishing ban was adopted to promote the sustainable development of the fishing industry in the South China Sea and protect the fundamental interests of fishermen, said officials from the South China Fishery Administration Bureau under the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA). Violators will face punishments such as fines, license revocations, confiscations and possible criminal charges, according to a statement issued by the fishery bureau under the MOA. The provincial fishing authority said fishing vessels with fishing permits for the Nansha Islands are required to install and activate positioning equipment so they will not accidentally enter banned areas. &#8220;Imposing the fishing ban is conducive to protecting [...]]]></description>

One of the envoys is former Philippine Ambassador-designate to China Domingo Lee. The other is Cesar Zalamea, chairman and chief executive officer of Focus Range International Ltd. Aquino, who is in the process of selecting a new ambassador to China, signed the appointment papers on May 10 for a term of six months, Malacanang said. Malacanang said Lee will &#8220;closely coordinate with and provide regular feedback on initiatives undertaken&#8221; to the Philippine ambassador to the People&#8217;s Republic of China and the Department Foreign Affairs assistant secretary for Asian and Pacific Affairs. He will submit regular reports to the Foreign Affairs Secretary on his official duties, and perform other duties to enhance Philippines-China relations as may be assigned to him by the President or the Secretary of Foreign Affairs. As the Special Envoy for Investments, Zalamea is tasked to &#8220;aggressively encourage more Chinese investors to locate and set up in the Philippines in preferred areas of investments as well as new and emerging areas for growth.&#8221; He will &#8220;actively seek out and sign on potential Chinese investors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BEIJING May 16 (Reuters) &#8211; Conditions are &#8220;extremely favourable&#8221; for China to make the yuan freely convertible but some capital controls will be needed in a time of crisis, the country&#8217;s top securities regulator said on Wednesday. &#8220;Currently, conditions are extremely favourable for promoting yuan convertibility on the capital account&#8221;, Guo Shuqing, head of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), told an audience of financial regulators and industry executives. Guo said China will take gradual steps towards freeing up the yuan and, even after making it fully convertible, may still resort to temporary capital controls to cope with volatile fund flows and crisis in balance of payments. Beijing took a milestone step in liberalizing its currency regime last month, doubling the daily onshore trading band for the yuan to 1 percent. That took the country one step closer to its goal of a basically convertible yuan by 2015. China has been promoting the international use of the yuan in trade for the past two years to reduce the country&#8217;s reliance on dollar financing. A thriving market in yuan-denominated bonds and deposits has sprung up in Hong Kong as a result. Sources in close, direct contact with the central bank and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At sunrise in some parts of China and Japan and by sunset in thewestern United States, a partial solar eclipse is set to slink across a narrow swath of the Earth on May 20 and 21. Depending on where people are in the eclipse’s path, some may be able to witness an annular eclipse in which the moon blocks out all but a ring of the Sun’s light. Others will see the Sun as a crescent, partially obscured by the moon, for a period of around four to five minutes. The event will be the first time in 18 years that such an eclipse is visible from the continental United States, according to Fred Espenak, a longtime solar eclipse expert with NASA. “What is unusual about this particular annular eclipse is that it goes over the western US,” Espenak told AFP. “People always think that eclipses are extremely rare but there are at least two solar eclipses every year. Each of these annular eclipses covers a very small fraction of the Earth’s surface.” The path of the annular eclipse will span “a 240 to 300 kilometer-wide (150-185 mile) track that traverses eastern Asia, the northern Pacific Ocean and the western United States,” according to the US space [...]]]></description>
