BEIJING, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- China's Defense Minister Liang Guanglie stressed on Monday that the absolute control under the Communist Party of China (CPC) has guaranteed the country's armed forces have achieved landmark progress in the past six decades.     Liang, a State Councilor and also member of the Central Military Commission (CMC) as a full general, made the remark during an exclusive interview with Xinhua less than ten days leading to a grand military parade scheduled on China's National Day.     The minister said a solid ideological and political leadership by the CPC is the greatest difference between the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the armed forces of Western countries, by which the Party's troops have endured various tests and shown loyalty, bravery and services to the people.     The PLA has achieved leaping upgrades in its defensive combat abilities to realize that the armed forces could effectively safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Gen. Liang said.     Liang emphasized that the PLA could not make the achievements without several rounds of disarmament and its internal reforms to optimize the military resources and command systems since the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949.     The PLA once had 6,000,000 uniformed members. The most high-profile cut was conducted by late CMC Chairman Deng Xiaoping who made a surprising decision in 1985 to reduce ranks by 1,000,000, mostly from the army and military schools.     After the latest cut in 2005, the PLA now has 2.3 million servicemen, although it remains the world's most populous armed force.     Gen. Liang said that after consistent efforts by scientists and researchers as well as China's improving industrial capacities, the PLA's arsenal has been equipped with all major weapon systems on the land, in the sea and air just like other major military powers.     "We now have military satellites, advanced jets, new main battle tanks, sophisticated warships and subs," Liang said, adding that some of the weaponry have caught up with world-leading standards.     After nearly 60 years of construction and development, China has set a strategic target to realize basic defense and military modernization, he said.     Achieving this objective, the Army's mobility level will be upgraded to give greater regional capabilities, and the Navy will be capable of both a strong coastal defense and certain measures for blue water combat, Liang said.     The Air Force will be transformed from a fleet that could only provide homeland air defense to an aerial power capable of a combination of offensive and defensive operations, and the Second Artillery Corps, China's strategic missile troops, will become a truly efficient force with both nuclear and conventional striking power, he said.     The military parade on Chang'an Avenue in front of the Tian'anmen Square on Oct. 1 will probably be the best footnote to Liang's remarks.     According to Lt. Gen. Fang Fenghui, general director of the parade, 52 types of new weapon systems developed with China's own technologies will be showcased to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC.     China will unveil for the first time the PLA's airborne early warning and control (AEWC) aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and other novel military hardware which have seen active service.     With a distinctive theme of "Made in China" to be showcased by the military parade, the Defense Minister said the Chinese defense industry has been also upgraded from copying Russian made weapons in 1950s and 1960s to a self-reliance on designing and manufacturing from the 1970s onwards.     Another progress is the improved heritage of national defense mobilization which has played a unique role and advantage in the PLA's service in peace time and in missions to help civilians in emergencies, Liang said.     The two events that impressed the 68-year-old minister most were the PLA's engagement in fighting a severe flood disaster in 1998 and the devastating earthquake in Sichuan Province last year.     "The troops and even many veterans were quickly mobilized and gathered to fight the flood at the front line in spite of danger to life," Liang said.     "I also witnessed very moving moments during the earthquake relief work when quake survivors saved by the PLA soldiers expressed their sincere appreciations," he said.

BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's retail sales of consumer goods totaled 570 billion yuan (about 83.5 billion U.S. dollars) during the National Day holiday, with average daily sales up 18 percent compared with the same period of last year, the Ministry of Commerce said Friday.     Sales of household appliances soared during the eight-day holiday which started from Oct. 1. Among them, high-definition flat screen TV sets, digital cameras, side-by-side refrigerators and 3G mobile phones are consumers' favorites. In the case of Kaiyuan Mall in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, sales of household appliances gained by 34.7 percent year on year. Customers are seen at a shopping mall in Shanghai, east China, Oct. 8, 2009    Jewelry and cars became hot sellers as well. The sales of jewelry of Caishikou Department Store in Beijing topped 100 million yuan, up 30 percent year on year. Car sales of major car-selling companies in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality increased by 71.7 percent year on year.     The selling boom in the home appliance and car sectors was partly stimulated by a policy approved by the State Council in June this year, aiming to spur domestic consumption by subsidizing buyers of cars and household appliances, according to the ministry.     For example, consumers can first sell their old household appliances to recycling companies and obtain a certification card from the recyclers. Card holders then can purchase new appliances with a 10 percent cut in prices when showing retailers the card.     Meanwhile, sales promotion in major cities also played an important role in the holiday consumption boom.

"We should learn from his firm faith, determination, devotion and optimism."

BEIJING, Oct.3 (Xinhua) -- The luminous full moon is always faithful to be there when Mid-Autumn Day falls, but Chinese people are going beyond their home and tradition to observe the festival that boasts a history of thousands of years.     Wang Jiayue, 26, celebrated the festival Saturday with her family at a lakeside resort that was 70 kilometers away from her home in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province. The luminous full moon shines at night when all Chinese around the globe celebrate their traditional Mid-Autumn Day which falls on October 3 this year."We ate moon cakes while drifting on the tranquil lake glistening with the silver moonlight. That was a perfect place to enjoy the moon," she said.     Traditionally, Mid-Autumn Day, as a festival for family reunion like the Spring Festival, is always observed at home, eating moon cakes, but in recent years, creative young people are going to various places in a hope to make the holiday a poetic, romantic and more joyous occasion, partly thanks to the government's decision to make the festival a public holiday. Tourists dance with local people of the Miao ethnic group at Goutan Village in Rongshui County, southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Oct. 3, 2009. Plentiful tourism items in many scenic spots around China attracted many tourists from at home and abroad during the National Day holidayMore than 10,000 travelers Saturday gathered at Tianshan Grand Canyon, 40 km from Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where they rode horses by the canyon's serene Swan Lake in the day and climbed onto the mountain to gain a closer view of the bright moon at night.     "I enjoyed very much the day when we looked at the golden grassland surrounded by numerous mountains, and it seemed that we were also having a day of the idyllic life of local Kazkhstan herdsmen," said Wang Jianfeng, a tourist.     "And it is so peaceful sitting here to wait for the night to fall and the moon to shine," he added. Visitors take photographs in front of a large-sized flower pot on the Tian'anmen Square in central Beijing, capital of China, on Oct. 3, 2009. Visitors from across the country took a tour here on Saturday during the National Day holidays, the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.Many people in east Fujian Province chose to spend the day in Taiwan. Xiamen Travel Agency in Xiamen City alone organized more than 50 tourist groups to Taiwan for the holiday.     In Fuzhou, the provincial capital, about 40 percent of the group tours were Taiwan-bounded.     The Sun and Moon Lake in Taiwan was a good place to enjoy the full moon, said Jia Ronglin, general manager of Fujian Tourism Company.

Plentiful tourism items in many scenic spots around China attracted many tourists from at home and abroad during the National Day holiday.EAT, OR NOT TO EAT     Young people are showing little appetite to moon cakes, a must on the Mid-Autumn Day menu. To cater to this group of picky consumers, bakeries, have in recent years introduced diversified-flavor, and usually expensive, moon cakes.     "Actually few young people like moon cakes, but, anyhow, we have to have some as it is a day for that," said Zhang Chao, a young man in Hohhot, capital of northern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He was buying moon cakes at a supermarket.     "So, I prefer small moon cakes. Larger ones or those with delicate packing are too much for me," says Zhang.     For some, they would rather give uneatable "cakes" to their friends.     E-moon cakes are becoming popular among Chinese Internet users.     "Such a moon cake carries as much affection as the traditional edible cakes to my friends, as I have made it with my own hand," said Wang Yue, a student at Shandong University in east China's Jinan City.     An e-moon cake also requires a process of stuffing, baking and packing, but those are done with clicks of the mouse.     There are still people, however, who keep their faith to the traditional flavor of the festival food.     Every day since mid September, Li Shifu has been seeing long queues in front of his bakery in Hohhot.     People queued to wait for Li's moon cakes, which they said were simple but delicious.     Li, his wife and three employees have been busy making moon cakes for more than half a month, and sometimes they can not rest until midnight.

BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu, who headed Monday to the typhoon-hit regions in Fujian and Zhejiang, warned Tuesday that the country faces grim tasks of fighting secondary disasters as a result of Typhoon Morakot. Big floods are still likely to happen as heavy rainfall persists in the south and many rivers continued to maintain high water levels, he said.     More than 20 rivers reported water levels above flood-alarm lines in Zhejiang, Fujian and Anhui provinces.

PYONGYANG, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese living in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Friday expressed willingness to help boost bilateral ties at a reception in the Chinese embassy to Pyongyang.     The reception was held to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.     A powerful and prosperous motherland is a powerful backing for the Chinese in the DPRK, said Liang Zuojun, vice president of the Central Committee of the Federation of the Chinese Residing in the DPRK. Chinese Embassador Liu Xiaoming (front, R) presents a gift to an oversea Chinese teacher at a reception held by the Chinese Embassy to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Pyongyang, capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Sept. 25, 2009He said all Chinese in the DPRK will live harmoniously with local residents and make efforts for the enhancement of the China-DPRK relationship, and the construction of both countries.     Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese ambassador to the DPRK, said the Chinese in the DPRK have devoted their wisdom to the socialism construction of the DPRK, and have won the respect and praise of the DPRK government and people.     He encouraged the Chinese to continue to support the construction and reunification cause of their motherland China.

BEIJING, August 5 -- Property sales across 30 cities in China fell 4 percent in July as prices soared and supplies dwindled with big cities feeling the pinch for the first time this year, analysts said.     According to the UWIN property transaction system, the floor space of apartments sold in July dipped 5.37 percent over June to 1.04 million sq m.     Statistics put out by the Beijing Real Estate Transaction website showed that sales of forward delivery housing in Beijing fell to 10,862 units last month, compared to 12,840 units in June.     Property transactions in Guangzhou fell 36 percent over June. The figure is only half of that of May, said Guangzhou's official property website.     "The fall has been triggered by high property prices and shrinking supplies in some cities," said Qin Xiaomei, head of research, Jones Lang LaSalle Beijing. "Property developers have slowed down the pace of new projects in the second half after robust sales in the first half," she said.     Property prices in China's 70 major cities were up 0.8 percent in June, the fourth month-on-month growth in a row this year, according to statistics from the National Development and Reform Commission.     Beijing and Shanghai reported a month-on-month growth of 0.4 and 1 percentage points respectively in June, with prices skyrocketing to record highs of 2007 in some areas, fueled by strong investment, purchase demand and higher land prices.     The high prices have also made most of the prospective buyers wary of making fresh investments.     Li Wei, a 29-year-old company executive in Beijing, said he would prefer to adopt a wait-and-see attitude as the high prices have made most of his preferred apartments unaffordable.     "The unit price of the apartment has soared to 20,000 yuan per sq m from 14,500 yuan per sq m 40 days ago," Li said.     For others like Zhang Li, a property speculator from Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, this is the time to cash in. The apartment she bought in November last year has gained 40 percent in the past six months, largely exceeding her expectations.     "I am a bit uneasy with such a rapid increase in such a short period of time," said Zhang, who has property investment experience of more than a decade. "With people's income and economic fundamentals seeing no big change, I think selling the property will be a safer bet."     According to Grant Ji, director of Savills (Beijing), a UK-based real estate service provider, the fall in transaction volume is still within a normal band.     "July was an off-season for the housing market," said Ji.     "With no big shift likely in the macroeconomic policy during the second half, property prices are unlikely see a big fall as the market is still awash with funds," Ji said.
