BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's securities regulator on Thursday said publicly-traded companies must pay dividends in cash rather than stock over three years before submitting their refinancing applications.     The move could help to encourage long-term investment and reduce market volatility, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said.     The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index has plunged 66 percent from its record high last October.     In a new regulation stipulating cash dividend payment by listed companies, the CSRC said: "The listed firms, if applying for refinancing, must pay dividends in cash totaling no less than 30 percent of its distributed profits over the past three years."     The regulation went into effect on Thursday.     In the draft version released in August, companies were allowed to pay dividends either in cash or stock.     The listed firms were also ordered to reveal their cash dividend policies and previous cash dividend data to investors in their annual reports to improve transparency.     "The listed company should give reasons why it failed to pay a cash dividend if it is able to and where the money goes," according to the rule.     Cash dividends could offer stable investment returns and prompt large institutional investors to reduce speculation on the secondary market, the regulator said.     A couple of huge refinancing plans earlier this year triggered a market plunge on concerns over stake dilution and liquidity stress.     In a separate regulation on share buy-back, also effective on Thursday, the CSRC said it allowed a cash dividend payment when the controlling shareholders bought stocks on the secondary market.     Such action was banned in the draft version released in late September to solicit public opinion.     Share buy-back through bidding at stock exchanges also no longer needs regulatory approval.     The CSRC added it would continue to revise the rules on stock buy-back and also give consideration to repurchase through agreement or tender offer.

BEIJING, May 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has ordered the armed forces and civil aviation department to deploy 90 more helicopters for rescue missions in quake-hit Sichuan province.     The decision was made at a late Wednesday evening meeting of the national quake relief headquarters held on a running train from Sichuan provincial capital Chengdu to Guangyuan city about 200 kilometers away. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (C) consoles locals as he pays a visit to Beichuan County, which neighbors the epicenter of the massive quake in southwest China's Sichuan Province, May 14, 2008. Wen Jiabao arrived on Wednesday at Beichuan County, one of the regions worst hit by Monday's massive earthquake, to oversee the rescue work.China's air force will deploy 60 more helicopters and the other 30 will be provided by the civil aviation industry, according to the headquarters headed by Wen himself.     An earthquake, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, struck Wenchuan County of southwestern Sichuan Province Monday afternoon, killing almost 15,000 people nationwide.     Since the rescue missions started on Monday, 20 helicopters have been dispatched to quake-hit areas for reconnaissance, food and water airdropping, transporting injured people and delivering rescuers. Rescuers unload medical materials from a helicopter in Yingxiu Town of Wenchuan County, the epicenter of Monday's massive earthquake on May 14, 2008. Premier Wen urged in the meeting that saving people's lives was still the top priority of the disaster relief work more than 50 hours after the quake.     "We must use all our forces, and save lives at whatever costs. Life is the most precious thing, we must be amenable to the people and the history," Wen said.     Forty-four counties and districts in Sichuan were severely affected by the quake. About half of the 20 million population in these areas were directly affected by the quake, according to the meeting. Soldiers from the People's Liberation Army carry relief materials after their arrival in the quake-stricken Wenchuan County in southwest China's Sichuan Province, May 14, 2008. A strong quake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck Wenchuan at 2:28 p.m. on Monday. Since most of the quake-hit areas are mountainous villages, thousands of rescuers and hundreds of tons of materials were held up on the ways, blocked by rocks and mud shaken down from roadside, to the quake's epicenter, making air support a vital need.     China's air force, army aviation and civil aviation have made ever largest noncombat air operation since Monday, mobilizing more than 150 airplanes in various relief missions.     The air force has deployed more than 40 transporters which delivered about 8,600 rescuers and 200 tons of materials with more than 130 flights in 48 hours after quake. PLA soliders carry the relief supplies onto a cargo-aeronef heading for the earthquake-affected areas in Sichuan Province to drop the urgently-needed food and relief supplies, in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, May 13, 2008. China poured more troops into the earthquake-ravaged province of Sichuan on Wednesday to quicken a search for survivors as time ran out for thousands of people buried under rubble and mud.The force also parachuted 15 elite airborne troopers to a county close to the epicenter who jumped out of plane at about 4,900 meter above sea level and landed without ground instruction and weather reference on Wednesday afternoon.     As of mid-Wednesday, rescuers have reached all the affected counties and began rescue efforts there.     The meeting decided to mobilize 30,000 more troops for the relief efforts, raising the total number of PLA and armed police soldiers involved in the rescue operation to 100,000.     More than 16,000 policemen are already involved in the rescue efforts.     Throughout Wednesday, 18,277 injured people were rescued in Sichuan, increasing the total number to 64,725. Among them are 1,620 people seriously injured, according to information from the meeting.

BEIJING, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- A reception was given here Monday to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Chinese top political advisor Jia Qinglin attended the event.     Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, congratulated the DPRK on the anniversary, hailing the DPRK's economic and social achievements over the past six decades.     "We are wholeheartedly glad to see it, and hope to see the DPRK and its people score bigger achievements in their future national construction," Jia said at the opening of the reception. Jia Qinglin (L), chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, toasts with Choe Jin Su, ambassador of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to China, during a reception at the DPRK Embassy in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 8, 2008. DPRK Ambassador to China Choe Jin Su held the reception on Sept. 8 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of KoreaThe senior Chinese leader also highlighted the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK, vowing that China will continue to make joint efforts with the DPRK to push forward the bilateral relations to a new level.     Choe Jin Su, DPRK ambassador to China, said that the DPRK highly values its ties with China and will join with China to further promote relations, especially at the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the bilateral diplomatic relationship next year.     He also expressed his congratulations on the success of the Beijing Olympic Games.

BEIJING, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) under new chief Ma Jiantang is likely to reform its statistical system to ensure the authenticity and timeliness of data and help the government to better cope with the uncertainties of outside economic influences, the minutes of an NBS meeting show.     After his inauguration as the NBS director, Ma has said he felt pressure, but was confident of taking over "the baton of statistical reform and development."     "The changing world economy, especially the financial turmoil triggered by the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis, had increased the uncertainties of China's macro-economic development and stability and set new tasks for statisticians," said Ma.     "I would like to work with all NBS staff together to advance reforms and innovations in statistical systems, indices and methods to make sure statistical work could better serve the pursuit of scientific development to shift the target of economic expansion from quantity to quality, and building a moderately prosperous society."     According to the minute, Ma gave no details of his reform plans. But his predecessor, Xie Fuzhan, who was transferred to head the Research Office of the State Council, admitted in his leaving speech that the foundation for China's statistical work remained feeble, with a lot to be done in optimizing statistical methods and management.     "Both the status of statistical departments and the capability of statisticians needs to improve to meet their obligations and fulfill their tasks," Xie said. He took up the post two years ago after his predecessor Qiu Xiaohua fell over fund scandal.     Authorized by the State Council to examine and calculate the economic output nationwide and to collect and compile economic figures for almost all industries and sectors, the NBS offers basic statistical information and policy advice for higher authorities and government departments.     Ma, a doctor of economics who graduated from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, viewed authenticity and timeliness as "the lifeblood of statistics work" and "the way for statisticians to conduct themselves".     He said the essence and core of statistics was to reflect facts, analyze real situations and seek truth, according to the minute.     Ma also urged NBS staff to resist all fabrications of data, secure the quality of figures and work with professionalism.     Under the current management system, local statistical departments serve two bosses, with the NBS giving them statistical assignments but local governments in charge of their personnel and finance. The NBS was only authorized to assist governors, municipal mayors and autonomous region chiefs in managing the heads of NBS branches.     Prestige-minded local officials looking for advancement have often tested the integrity of statisticians within their jurisdiction.     To remedy the situation, China's legislature revised the implementation rules of Statistics Law in 2006, which authorized NBS investigation teams to undertake independent statistical surveys and reports in all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.     Under the Statistics Law, leading members of local authorities who alter statistical data without authorization, fabricate statistical data, compel or prompt statisticians to tamper with figures will be subject to administrative sanctions. Officials who retaliate against statisticians who refuse to fabricate data face criminal penalties.     After more than two decades of sizzling growth at the cost of depleted resources, increased energy consumption and environmental damage, the Chinese economy is undergoing a tough rebalancing that puts more emphasis on quality than quantity.     As global economic slowdown could dampen exports -- a major growth engine -- more than expected, the government has become increasingly careful with monetary tools like interest rates, deposit reserve ratios as well as industrial and fiscal policies so as not to plunge the expanding economy into recession.     Senior decision-makers have been demanding precise and more timely statistics for earlier warnings in the event of slowdown or other ailments.     Ma was appointed vice governor of Qinghai in December 2004 and used to work with the State Economic and Trade Commission and the Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
