Bilis, a 2006 typhoon landed in Fujian but tens of thousands of people in Guangdong were affected.     The experts considered Morakot might have a big influence in the eastern part of Guangdong, and soak the province in torrential rains.     The eighth tropical storm this year, Morakot was formed on the heels of Goni, which unleashed downpours in Guangdong destroying 732 houses.     "The two storms could influence each other," said Wang Zhenming, vice head of the Zhejiang provincial meteorological station. "As a result, the route of Morakot is not fully predictable."     He warned Morakot was likely to continue growing in strength and become a super typhoon.     China is frequently affected by tropical storms in summer. The most destructive one recently occurred in 2006, when super typhoon Saomai claimed more than 400 lives.

BEIJING, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese police have confiscated close to 53,000 guns by the end of August in a nationwide crackdown started in March this year, and 9,849 suspects involved in gun-related crimes were punished, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said Thursday.     The ministry started the special crackdown on explosives and gun-related crimes in March, and said it would continue till China's Oct. 1 National Day celebration.     The crackdown is part of the ministry's campaign to maintain public stability, as this year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.     Police also confiscated more than 2 million bullets and 120,000imitation guns, the ministry said.     About 12 percent of all guns confiscated were seized in the southern Hainan Province, while about 17 percent of the confiscated bullets came from the central Henan Province, the ministry said.     The southern province of Guangdong seized 34,690 imitation guns, which took up one fourth of the total.     Meanwhile, the MPS urged that efforts to crack down on gun-related crime must not be relaxed yet. Police forces should mobilize the public to report to the ministry if they have information about gun-related crimes, the ministry said on its website.     About 60 percent of the guns confiscated by the police were handed in by the public voluntarily, the ministry said.

MOSCOW, July 28 (Xinhua) -- China and Russia have reached broad consensus on the proper handling of the sudden closure of the Cherkizovsky Market through friendly negotiations, said Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng here Saturday.     Gao, who arrived here Wednesday, heads a Chinese delegation for talks on the impact of the June 29 closing of the market, where tens of thousands of Chinese vendors had been operating.     Local analysts said the shutdown has marked an inevitable transformation of the nongovernmental trade between China and Russia and necessitated a change in mindset and operation mode among Chinese businessmen in Russia. 　　REASONS BEHIND THE ABRUPT SHUTDOWN     Cherkizovsky is Russia's biggest wholesale market. Police abruptly shut down the nearly 300-hectare market in northeastern Moscow on June 29 after disclosure by .Russian Federal Supervision Service for Consumer Rights Protection and People Welfare of various illegal and irregular operation in the markets Russian Prosecutor General's Office said the shutdown was due to bad sanitary and fire control conditions, but local media believe many factors have prompted the closure.     A June report tendered by Minister of Industry and Trade Victor Khristenko stated that contraband goods not only cost the government great loss in taxation, but also undermine the development of the country's light industry.     The report suggested promoting legal, standardized chainstores and cracking down on terminal markets notorious for the sales of counterfeited and shoddy products and goods entered the country through "grey customs clearance".     Russian Federal Supervision Service for Consumer Rights Protection and People Welfare, Prosecutor General's Office, Federal Migration Service , Moscow municipal government and other government agencies even proposed shutting down the market for good.     The latest poll conducted by research group Levada Center also showed that among 94 percent of Moscow citizens who know about the closure, 67 percent support the move. Another online poll conducted by newspaper Izvestia also showed that over 80 percent of netizens are in favor of the shutdown. 　　"GREY CUSTOMS CLEARANCE" HAMPERS SINO-RUSSIAN TRADE     Over the past 20 years, the people-to-people trade between China and Russia has undoubtedly made great contribution to bilateral economic and trade cooperation, said Gao Xiyun, Economic Minister Counselor of Chinese Embassy in Russia.     However, it is also an undeniable fact that problems such as "grey customs clearance" had seriously hampered the health development the bilateral people-to-people trade, he said.     The so-called "grey customs clearance" is a long-standing practice that involves intermediaries handling customs clearance for bulk commodities loaded in planes or containers trucks.     After paying the so-called "customs clearance companies," the consignors of the goods do not have to deal with Russian customs authorities in person. Consequently they receive no official customs declaration documents.     In recent years, the Russian government has strived to rectify its domestic market order. For a time, goods that entered the country through "grey customs clearance" were regarded as contraband, and their owners would face penalties, including fines or even outright confiscation.     Prior to the market closure, on Sep. 11, 2008, the Investigation Committee at the Russian Prosecutor General's Office sealed up a large part of Chinese merchants' container storehouse in the Cherkizovsky market. 　　CHINESE BUSINESSMEN NEED TO CHANGE MODES OF OPERATION     Some 60,000 Chinese are doing business in Cherkizovsky Market, making the market the biggest Chinese business community in Moscow and even the whole Russia, according to figures from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Russia.     The abrupt closure of the market, in addition to the closedown of the container storehouse, has caused great economic loss to Chinese merchants and their domestic enterprises.     Gennady Gudkov, Deputy Chairman of the Security Committee of the Russian State Duma said though the closure of the market is justified, the vendors there should be given advance notice of the closure.     Gao Hucheng said China has no objections to Russia's crackdown on smuggling, but the Russian side should protect the personal and property safety of the Chinese citizens without hurting their dignity. While enforcing the law, the Russian side should try its best to keep the economic losses of the Chinese business people to the minimum.     Some Chinese analysts noted that Russia's cracking down on smuggling and rectifying domestic markets would help regulate trade channels, improve trade environment, therefore conducive to sustained and sound development of bilateral trade in the long run.     Li Huilai, Charge d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Russia, said the only way out for Chinese merchants is to transform their operation mode and do their business in accordance with law and regulations. 　　JOINT EFFORTS URGED TO EXPAND NORMAL TRADE CHANNELS     In recent years, China has strengthened export supervision and instructed Chinese enterprises and businessmen in Russia to operate honestly and abide by the laws and regulations there.     China and Russia share a common goal in creating a trade environment that is standardized, transparent and convenient.     In June, China and Russia established a customs cooperation committee and set up a long-term mechanism to normalize bilateral trade order in a bid to raise the level of customs clearance facilitation and create favorable conditions for the crackdown and eventual eradication of the "grey customs clearance."     Gao's delegation, comprising officials from the ministries of commerce and foreign affairs, the General Administration of Customs and trade officials from Zhejiang, Fujian and Hebei provinces reached three consensus with the Russian side on the closure issue.     The two sides agreed to further develop the Sino-Russian strategic cooperative partnership, deepen bilateral trade cooperation and properly settle the closure issue through friendly negotiations.     The governments of China and Russia attached great importance to their strategic cooperative partnership and had agreed that the sudden closure of the market should not hurt their friendly cooperation, Gao said.     The two sides should promptly initiate a customs cooperation mechanism, and develop a work plan to stop illegal activities including "grey customs clearance," regulate customs declaration channels and raise customs clearance efficiency.     Analysts believe that with the constant improvement and development of Sino-Russian trade and economic cooperation, the issue of "grey customs clearance" could be fully resolved.

Liu Yunshan, head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and the CPC Central Committee Secretariat, addresses the televised conference held by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Education, and the State Ethnic Affairs Commission to deepen the educational campaign on national unity, in Beijing, China, on Aug. 24, 2009    Liu called for the educational campaign to be combined with the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.     The campaign should highlight the fact that national unity serves the supreme interests of all Chinese people from different ethnic groups, he said.     China's regional autonomy system was one of the country's basic political systems that was appropriate for the country's realities and could resolve ethnic problems, said Liu, also a member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau.     The history of China was a history of unity and progress for the Chinese nation, while the past 60 years had witnessed great achievements and changes in ethnic regions, he said.

HONG KONG, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- The launch of Renminbi sovereign bonds in Hong Kong on Monday shows China's efforts to boost the international use of the yuan step by step, officials and analysts said.     The bond issue, worth only 6 billion yuan (878.5 million U.S. dollars), marked a key milestone in the internationalization of the RMB.     Hong Kong was chosen for, and will benefit from, the milestone bond sale thanks to its unique position as the international financial center providing desired cushion against the potential risks when the program was launched, analysts said.          BOOSTING INTERNATIONAL USE OF RMB     The bond issue in Hong Kong came earlier than expected, said Hu Yifan, an economist with CITIC Securities.     "The need for the RMB to go international and convertible has been growing along with the increasing importance and openness of the Chinese mainland economy and the risks arising from over- reliance on the United States dollar as the reserve currency," said Tse Kwok-leung, head of economic research of Bank of China ( Hong Kong) Limited.     China has been launching pilot RMB programs over the years, but the pace has obviously quickened since the onset of the global financial crisis. Pilot RMB programs launched in Hong Kong over the past 12 months also included yuan-denominated cross-border trade settlement and trade financing, yuan bonds issued by policy banks, commercial lenders and the branches of foreign banks, and currency swaps.     The sovereign bond issue would help "boost the international use of the RMB in a steady and orderly manner," the Chinese Ministry of Finance quoted Acting Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Henry Tang as saying.     The sovereign bond sale in Hong Kong serves the purpose of water testing to "see how it is received by international investors." Hong Kong has a unique strength in that it provides the desired cushion against potential risks when the pilot programs were launched, given that the mainland capital market was yet to open up, Tse said.          BOOSTING NASCENT BOND MARKET IN HONG KONG     The bond issue ahead of the Chinese National Day showed the central government's support for Hong Kong, Vice Minister of Finance Li Yong said.     It will help Hong Kong build on its strength as an international financial center by boosting the nascent bond market in Hong Kong, Tse Kwok-leung said.     "It calls for a banking system, a stock market and a bond market, all developed, to make a developed international financial center," Tse explained.     Hong Kong has been aspiring to be the leading international financial center in the Asian time zone.     Government statistics showed that the total assets of Hong Kong's banking system and the size of its stock market were both about six times its gross domestic product, compared with a bond market equivalent to 43 percent of its gross domestic product.     Bonds issued in Hong Kong in 2008 totaled 424.4 billion HK dollars (54.4 billion U.S. dollars), with 67 percent issued by the Hong Kong Foreign Exchange Fund, which was established to defend the Hong Kong dollar peg to the U.S. dollar.     The other 33 percent were accounted for by development banks from outside Hong Kong and corporate bonds issued by local players. There were no sovereign bonds.     Tse said the bond issue will also help improve the liquidity of, and diversify, the local bond market. It will also improve the operation of the RMB bond market in Hong Kong by helping find the benchmark interest rate in the local market.     Tse said the demand for sovereign bonds issued by an economy as strong as the Chinese mainland was huge, given the impact of the global financial crisis on the corporate bond market.     Vice Minister of Finance Li Yong also said he believed the bonds will be well received.     "I believe the RMB sovereign bonds will prove popular with investors looking for safe and prudent investments. I definitely think it will be successful," Li said.

BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Drought-hit regions in northern China are forecast to have moderate to heavy rain Wednesday and Thursday, the National Meteorological Center said Tuesday.     The regions include Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region where more than 200,000 livestock have died due to drought, Heilongjiang Province where 1.47 million hectares of farmland were hit by drought, Liaoning and Jilin provinces.     A severe drought has hit China's northern part, affecting 11.33million hectares of crops, according to the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.     Among the total affected crops, 4.2 million hectares suffered serious drought and 1.07 million hectares dried up. About 3.9 million people and about 4.37 million livestock had difficulties getting water.     Yuan Zipeng, deputy director of the Liaoning provincial observatory, said the long-anticipated rain would "obviously" relieve the two-month-long drought that led to drinking water shortages for 792,200 people and 242,200 livestock in the province.     In order to increase the rainfall, the provincial bureau has prepared 1,269 rocket shells along with three aircraft to seed the clouds, Yuan said.     In Liaoning alone, 32 million hectares of farmland were hit by drought.     The water resources department in Inner Mongolia said 1.89 million people and 4.27 million livestock faced drinking water shortages.
