		<description><![CDATA[China welcomes constructive and sensible advice and suggestions on the Tibet&#8217;s development, visiting Chinese Tibetologists said Tuesday in London. &#8220;There are many scholars that are studying Tibetan history and culture. We hope the scholars and political leaders from other countries, and all those who care about Tibet would participate in its development, and offer constructive, sensible, feasible advice,&#8221; said Zhaluo, a scholar from the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. A Chinese delegation of Tibetologists, headed by Zhaluo, visited Cambridge Monday and held academic exchanges with scholars from Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit on the protection of Tibetan language manuscripts. China will stick to regional ethnic autonomy in Tibet, boost legal protection of Tibetan culture and religion and offer comprehensive support for the region, Zhaluo said. He noted that China will also facilitate the development of social security system, education, housing projects and environmental protection in Tibet. On China-Britain academic cooperation on Tibetology, Melang Dzondzen, an associate professor from the Department of Economics and Management of Tibet University, said: &#8220;Cambridge University&#8217;s Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit and The Tibetan Academy of Social Science have many cooperative projects.&#8221; &#8220;Among the remarkable ones in recent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BEIJING, (Xinhua) &#8212; The Chinese mainland will ensure the continuity of its policies towards Taiwan and work to make new achievements in the development of cross-strait relations, top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng said on Wednesday. While meeting a visiting delegation of Taiwan&#8217;s United Daily News Group(UDN), Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People&#8217;s Political Consultative Conference, said the mainland&#8217;s policies regarding Taiwan will advance with the times. Currently, both sides face unprecedented opportunities in developing cross-strait relations, Yu said. On the basis of adhering to the &#8220;1992 consensus&#8221; and opposition to &#8220;Taiwan independence,&#8221; the two sides should increase mutual trust and steadily improve cross-strait ties in an all-around way, Yu said. In November 1992, the mainland&#8217;s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and Taiwan&#8217;s Straits Exchange Foundation reached what is called the &#8220;1992 Consensus,&#8221; an agreement that calls for both sides to adhere to the one-China principle. Yu said he hopes the UDN will fulfill its responsibilities, adhere to the cardinal principle of national interest, oppose &#8220;Taiwan independence&#8221; and work to increase mutual understanding between people across the Taiwan Strait. Yu also called on the UDN to contribute to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TAIPEI, (Xinhua) &#8212; Taiwan&#8217;s coast guard will escort fishing ships on regular basis to protect them from harassment by the Philippines, the island&#8217;s leader Ma Ying-jeou said Wednesday. Taiwan authorities will not allow the incident, which happened to the fishing vessel Guang Ta Hsin 28, to occur again, said Ma at a meeting of the Kuomintang, the island&#8217;s ruling party. Guang Ta Hsin 28 was fired at by Philippine Coast Guard officers on May 9 in a sea area located 160 nautical miles southeast of Taiwan. The attack resulted in the death of a 65-year-old Taiwanese fisherman. The authorities will try their best to protect the rights and interests of local fishermen, Ma said. Taiwan is still discussing with the Philippines about a joint investigation into the shooting and expects it to be settled as soon as possible, he said. No matter what the result of the probe is, the Philippine government should appologize to and compensate the victim&#8217;s family, he said, adding that the lack of an apology is &#8220;an attitude problem.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This general view from the Macau Tower shows casinos in the central district Macau on December 20, 2009. (AFP Photo/Ed Jones) Macau. Casino industry leaders met in the world’s biggest gambling hub of Macau on Tuesday for the Global Gaming Expo Asia, a three-day fair of gambling innovations at the glitzy Venetian Macau hotel. The largest gaming event in Asia, showcasing the industry’s latest products, services and technologies, is taking place amid a decline in growth rates in the former Portugese colony’s gaming industry as China’s economic boom slows. The gaming sector has however boomed in Asia over the past decade, led by Macau which now generates six times the gambling revenue of Las Vegas thanks mainly to high-rolling Chinese VIPs. Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam are also staking their claims to regional market share, with several mega-resorts in the pipeline. But despite increasing competition from the region and slowing growth rates, industry leaders remain confident in the gaming future of Macau. “You’ve got tremendous growth here,” said Frank Fahrenkopf, president of the American Gaming Association, which organized the event. “As new facilities open, more and more people will want to come to see the new facilities… it adds to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; (CNN) &#8212; It&#8217;s the staple of almost every kung fu action film ever made: the hero is targeted for revenge after teaching the deadly and closely guarded secrets of the martial art to outsiders and, even worse, foreigners. But ask Lam Chun-fai Sifu &#8212; the 73-year-old practitioner of the 300-year-old kung fu style known as Hung Kuen &#8212; and he will tell you that making the martial art accessible to foreigners is the only way to save it from extinction. The son of a student to Wong Fei Hung, one of the legends of the fighting style and the subject of countless films, Lam Sifu (sifu is a Cantonese term that means &#8216;master&#8217;) says the fighting art may be growing fast overseas, but struggles in the region where it was born. To counter the decline, he has co-authored the world&#8217;s first English-language manual on the ancient kung fu style that he has taught for 60 years and has been his family&#8217;s trademark for more than three generations. Called Hung Kuen Fundamentals: Fok Fu Kuen, the manual outlines scores of moves and stances that were hitherto only taught and transmitted orally. While there are dozens of fighting styles in [...]]]></description>

Image credit: Caijing Chinese president Xi Jinping paid a visit to Sichuan&#8217;s Lushan county Tuesday to see the recovery process, SCMP reports. Lushan county was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on April 20. Many are still recovering from the quake&#8217;s effects. Xi visited a gymnasium acting as a temporary shelter for victims of the earthquake as well as a local school in Longmen township which had been rebuilt after the 2008 earthquake. China&#8217;s leader walked through the gymnasium, asking residents if services like food and water were adequate, according to ECNS. &#8220;We should work together to rebuild a safe and beautiful home,&#8221; he told reporters. At the school, Xi donated schoolbags and stationery for pupils, and a piano. The earthquake last month left about 200 dead and millions affected. Its aftermath has also seen a fair share of controversy, in particular with the Red Cross, which allegedly asked earthquake victims for donations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amid global economic woes and the fluctuating fortunes of China&#8217;s economy, last year would hardly be considered the best time to launch a new bank, especially in a relatively remote area where only 3 million people live on a 1.2 million square kilometer plateau. But against all odds, including bitter competition between eight established lenders in Lhasa, capital of the Tibet autonomous region, Bank of Tibet made its debut on May 22, 2012. The new bank notched an 18 million yuan ($2.9 million) profit in 2012 and a bad-debt ratio of nil, a figure that very few banks in China can boast of. &#8220;We have experienced hardships and challenges,&#8221; said Tian Wei, executive director of the bank. In 2012, Tibet&#8217;s GDP was 70 billion yuan, while the bank received 6.6 billion yuan in deposits and made 4.3 billion yuan in loans. The loans were made to major infrastructure projects in the rail, hydropower and energy sectors, as well as to smaller local businesses engaged in traditional Tibetan medicine, farming and animal husbandry, which previously had difficulties obtaining funding. The bank said it has started preparations to begin operations in other parts of the region, including the city of Xigaze, with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[URUMQI,  (Xinhua) &#8212; Geological workers have discovered a large gold mine in northwest China&#8217;s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, officials said on Tuesday. With gold reserves of at least 53 tonnes, the mine in Xinyuan County in the Ili Valley is expected to have an economic value of 20 billion yuan (3.2 billion U.S. dollars), said Zeng Xiaogang, head of the region&#8217;s geology and mineral resources bureau. Covering a length of 3 km and depths of 60 to 300 meters, the mine also holds 31,200 tonnes of copper, said Zeng. He said the bureau, in cooperation with the Meisheng Group based in Hainan Province, took five years to find the mine, finally confirming its location on May 13. The group has invested nearly 150 million yuan in the project, which will be put into operation by the end of 2015. Its annual gold production capacity is expected to reach three tonnes, or 1 billion yuan of production value every year, according to Zeng. It is the second large gold mine discovered in the Ili Valley following one with gold reserves of 50 tonnes found in 1988. According to the bureau, the mine is the largest such resource found in the area [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chinese scientists have succeeded in obtaining three ice cores from Mt. Qomolangma (Mt. Everest), with aims to study climate change, an expedition leader said Monday. During the expedition that lasted more than one month, scientists drilled the ice cores at a mountain pass near the East Rongbuk glacier, which covers the north collar of Mt. Everest, said Kang Shichang. The longest ice core measures 142 meters, the longest one ever obtained from the mountain, said Kang, who is also a research fellow at the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The ice cores will be used to study climate and environmental change, Kang said. Chinese scientists previously obtained ice cores at the same location in the late 1990s and early 2000s, respectively. &#8220;The new cores will provide more detailed information regarding climate and environmental changes, providing new insight into global warming,&#8221; Kang said. The expedition also found a recent escalation in the melting of the East Rongbuk glacier, with some ice towers on the edge of the glacier disappearing and some new ice crevasses developing further in comparison to what scientists saw in the region in the 1990s, according to Kang. &#8220;This indicates that climate and [...]]]></description>
