BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu Monday urged local authorities to step up efforts to prevent forest and grassland fires as a severe drought put south China on a high fire alert.Authorities should beef up the supervision of fire sources, and respond scientifically to emergencies to curb major fires and casualties, and protect the public and forests and grassland, Hui said at a teleconference held by the State Council, or the Cabinet.A prolonged drought, which started last autumn, has hit southwest, south and parts of north China.According to the State Forestry Administration (SFA), from November to January, China reported 1,945 forest fires, which damaged 5,112 hectares of forests and killed two people.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a recent bold speech here, criticized China's policies on Internet administration and insinuated that China restricts Internet freedom.Clinton's statement, which were inconsistent with the facts, is clearly yet another example of the double standards that the United States applies.As is widely recognized, freedom is always relative, and such is also the case with Internet freedom. Through years of development, the Internet has been closely connected with people, bringing both convenience and threats. The threats include Internet-based crimes and pornography.It is common practice for countries, including the United States, to take necessary measures to administer the Internet according to their own laws and regulations.The Internet is also restricted in the United States when it comes to information concerning terrorism, porn, racial discrimination and other threats to society.Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the U.S. Congress approved the Patriot Act to grant its security agencies the right to search telephone and e-mail communications in the name of anti-terrorism. The move aroused a great deal of controversy far and wide.U.S. authorities have also taken measures, such as installing supervision software and imposing grave punishments, to curb Internet child porn, a serious crime in the country.The United States often gossips about other countries' policies on administering the Internet, but at the same time it takes similar measures to minimize the spread of illegal information. That shows that the United States takes a strict line with other countries, but not with itself.Clinton in her speech also talked of Google's threat to quit China due to what the company said were "cyber attacks of varying degrees on a regular basis."As a matter of fact, the U.S. was the first country to introduce the concept of cyber warfare and then put it into practice. The country also developed a new type of troops -- cyber troops.The Pentagon has adopted several measures to beef up the military's cyber warfare capacity, according to American media reports last year. In June, Defense Secretary Robert Gates issued an order to establish a new military cyber command dedicated to coordinating the Pentagon's efforts to defend its networks and conduct cyber warfare. The command was expected to be fully operational by October this year.So, it is quite hypocritical to point one's finger at others without proper justification while managing to strengthen one's own cyber warfare capacity.Necessary regulation of the Internet is a consensus of the entire international community for the sake of healthy development of the Internet. No responsible country takes a laissez-faire attitude towards the use of the Internet.It is an operational norm observable by all foreign-funded enterprises to respect and comply with laws and regulations as well as public interests and the cultural tradition of the host country.Noting that most countries exert some sort of control over information,Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said Friday his company must comply with the laws and customs of any country where it does business.The U.S. move to make Internet freedom an issue just indicates its continued application of double standards. People just wish that the United States will respect facts and treat others equally. It is not acceptable for someone to assume for themselves the high moral ground and arbitrarily make baseless charges against others.

BEIJING, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- China's National People's Congress (NPC), the top legislature, on Saturday voiced strong protest against Washington's plan to sell a package of arms worth about 6.4 billion U.S. dollars to Taiwan, urging the U.S. side to immediately withdraw the wrong decision.The U.S. government announced the plan "in disregard of the strong opposition and repeated representations from the Chinese side," said a leading official of the NPC Foreign Affairs Committee."We are firmly opposed to that (the plan), and has lodged severe representations to the U.S. side," the official said.Such a move is gravely against the three joint communiques between China and the United States, especially the "Aug. 17" communique, in which the United States promised not to seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, and intended to gradually reduce arms sales to the island.The plan endangers China's national security and efforts for peaceful reunification. It also harms Sino-U.S. relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. "The Chinese people are strongly indignant about it," the official said.The arms package would include 114 Patriot (PAC-3) anti-missile systems, 60 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters, 12 Harpoon Block II Telemetry missiles, 2 Osprey Class mine hunting ships and a command and control enhancement system, according to a Pentagon website.

CHANGSHA/HARBIN, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- As Chinese people are embracing the arrival of the Year of Tiger on Saturday, zoologists are worried about the survival of South China Tigers as the endangered species are facing a serious problem of inbreeding.No traces of the tigers have been found in the last decade, they said.The number of captive South China tigers (Panthera tigris amoyenesis) rose to 92 in 2009 from 60 in 2007 but all the tigers were the offsprings of six wild South China tigers which were caught more than 40 years ago, said Deng Xuejian, a professor with the Department of Biology of Hunan Normal University, based in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province."The inbreeding may lead to genetic freaks, low survival rates and poor physical makeup," Deng said.All the genes have come from two male and four female tigers, which had lead to highly identical genes in the offspring, Deng said."The situation may reduce the genetic diversity and cause degradation or even the extinction of the species," he said.The tigers would lose genetic diversity if their genes were too similar, said Ma Zaiyu, president of veterinary hospital of Changsha Zoo."The number of the members of a species should be at least 1,000 to maintain the stability of the species," Ma said.Zoologists estimated the number of wild South China tigers could have been less than 30 in the 1990s. The remaining wild tigers are presumed to live in the remote areas of Guangdong, Hunan, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, Deng Xuejian said.Based on analysis of relevant date combining field investigation, Deng estimated the number of wild South China tigers could be less than 10.No traces of wild South China tigers were reported in Hunan in the last two years, said Zhou Shuhuai, director of wildlife protection section of the Hunan provincial forestry bureau."The number is limited and the tigers scatter in different areas, which make it difficult for natural breeding between wild tigers," said Huang Gongqing, a tiger expert at South China Tiger Breeding Base in Suzhou, a city of east China's Jiangsu Province."The extinction of the wild tigers will happen sooner or later," Huang warned.Some experts have said that there may be already no wild South China tigers. "However, we cannot know as the animal is very difficult to trace," Deng said.Ma Zaiyu said to avoid extinction of the species, more captive tigers should be bred, and some genes might be recovered when the population reaches 1,000, while Deng suggested continuous search for wild tigers to enrich the captive tigers' genes.The situation is much better for the Siberian tigers (panthera tigris altaica) in northeast China as the number of the wild ones is quite stable, experts said.The number maintains at around 20 in China, among which 10 to 14 are in Heilongjiang Province and eight to ten are in Jilin Province, said Sun Haiyi, deputy director of Heilongjiang Wildlife Institute"But no more young tigers under one year old have been discovered in the past two years. The reason might be the number of female tigers are less than the males and the animals are relatively isolated by the mountains," Sun said.China established a breeding base for the Siberian tigers in Heilongjiang in 1986 and the number of captive tigers has increased from eight to current more than 800, Sun said.Experts called for more efforts to protect the habitats of the tigers for the purpose of protection and re-wilding of the tigers.

BEIJING, March 6 (Xinhua) -- "Transformation of the economic growth pattern" has become a key word on the agenda of the annual sessions of China's parliament and top advisory body as the country aims at complete recovery from the global financial crisis and seeks sustained growth.Following are quotes from some Chinese leaders that underscore the transformation. The leaders joined deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC) Saturday to deliberate Premier Wen Jiabao's government work report.-- The bottleneck that stagnates the transformation of the economic growth pattern lies in an imperfect institutional mechanism. Reforms in key areas and sectors should be quickened to strengthen the impetus for economic growth and provide institutional guarantee for the transformation, said Vice Premier Li Keqiang in his discussion with NPC deputies from Liaoning Province.-- Deepening reform and expanding opening-up offer fundamental impetus for shaping a competitive modern industry system, said He Guoqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, in his discussion with NPC deputies from central Hunan Province.-- The transformation means a profound change in the economic sector, and it is currently, and will be in a long run, a major economic task of the nation, said Zhou Yongkang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, in his discussion with NPC deputies from Heilongjiang Province.-- Cultural programs and cultural industry play an important role in enlightening the nation, and their development should be taken as an important approach to the transformation, said Li Changchun, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, in his discussion with NPC deputies from northwestern Shaanxi Province.
