BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- China's power consumption in September continued to rise with a faster increasing rate, according to China's National Energy Administration (NEA) on Thursday.     Power consumption in September rose 10.24 percent from the same month last year to 322.41 billion kilowatt hours last month. The increasing rate was 2 percentage points up from that of August.     Accumulative power consumption in the first nine months topped 2.66 trillion kilowatt hours, an increase of 1.4 percent over the same period last year.     In the first three quarters, power consumption of the primary industry which covers agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, added 6.35 percent from a year earlier to 72.5 billion kilowatt hours.     The second industry, including mining, manufactural, building and construction sectors, consumed 1.95 trillion kilowatt hours, representing a decrease of 1.67 percent over the same period last year.     Power consumption in the service sector climbed 11.26 percent year on year to 293.5 billion kilowatt hours in the first three quarters.

BEIJING, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- China's government is adjusting its policies on imported technological equipment with the purpose of boosting domestic innovation and greater industrial restructuring and upgrading.     Key components and raw materials imported by domestic enterprises for manufacturing major technological equipment and products are exempted from import tariffs and value-added tax (VAT) as of July 1 this year, according to a joint communique issued by the Ministry of Finance and five other ministries Friday.     Tariff exemption for imported complete set of machinery and equipment will be revoked, according to the communique.     To ensure smooth transition, preferential policies for items which currently can not be wholly supplied domestically, if it is proved so after examination, will be phased out gradually.     Major State-backed key technological equipment includes clean energy power generating systems and nuclear power generating units of above a million kilowatts.     China's central government in March announced expenditure of 20 billion yuan (2.94 billion U.S. dollars) for this year, from a 908 billion yuan public sector budget, to help enterprises upgrade technology, energy efficiency and innovation.     It also unveiled a three-year plan in May to stimulate equipment-manufacturing industry, which lacks ability to innovate and had underdeveloped technology.     But experts said lack of funding and cooperation among research institutes still restrain China's technological transition.

BEIJING, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese foreign minister on Saturday described President Hu Jintao's trip to the United States to attend four important summits as a significant and far-reaching diplomatic move.     Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi made the remarks while briefing journalists who traveled to New York and Pittsburgh with Hu. Yang said that the four summits in the U.S. that Hu participated in focused on such attention-grabbing issues as the international financial crisis, climate change, non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament.     Those issues have a significant bearing on international relations and on the global situation in the future, Yang said. He said those issues also have a direct bearing on China's long-term development and fundamental interests.     Participating in four summits in as many days was an unprecedented diplomatic move by a Chinese president since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Yang said. Chinese President Hu Jintao attends the Group of 20 (G20) Financial Summit in Pittsburgh of the U.S., Sept. 25, 2009    He said Hu systematically advanced China's viewpoints and stances on important global and regional issues during the four summits.     Yang highlighted the 64th United Nations General Assembly, which drew more than 140 heads of state and government, and the world body's general debate during which Hu delivered his key-note speech "Join hands to create the future."     The foreign minister quoted Hu as saying that the world is undergoing a hectic period of big development and reform and that it is seeing a stronger trend toward peace, development and cooperation.     Hu pointed out during his U.N. speech that the world's peace and development is faced with serious challenges resulting from instability and uncertainty in the global situation.     The Chinese president urged the international community to cherish the concepts of peace, development, cooperation, win-win and tolerance in their effort to promote a lasting peace, co-prosperity and a harmonious world.     Yang said Hu proposed that the international community view the security issue through a broader view-finder, conduct cooperation with more open hearts, and materialize harmonious co-existence via a more tolerant mentality.     Hu stressed in his speech that China's destiny is increasingly linked with that of the entire world. He said that China will stick to its path of peaceful development, one that leads to mutual benefits and a win-win scenario. He said China also will stick to the five principles of peaceful co-existence while pursuing friendly cooperation with all of the other countries in the world.     China was, is and will remain a strength to be reckoned with in the maintenance of world peace and in the promotion of co-development of the world.     As a responsible big country in the midst of development, China has performed its obligation to the U.N. Millennium Declaration by extending assistance to more than 120 countries. It also has written off debts owed it by 49 heavily indebted countries and least developed countries, and is offering zero-tariff treatment to exports from 40 least developed countries.     China also will beef up its support for the developing countries that have been affected most by the international financial crisis.     Hu said that China will continue its support to the developing nations by speeding up their growth to meet their millennium goals; China will continue to give the assistance promised to African countries during the Sino-Africa Summit; and China will continue to participate and promote the regional monetary and financial cooperation.     Yang, who accompanied Hu to New York and Pittsburgh, said that the world sees the Chinese president's speech at the U.N. as commanding a strategic viewpoint and carrying a far-reaching connotation.     Hu's speech demonstrated that China is playing an irreplaceable role in international and regional affairs as a builder of international systems, Yang said. He said that the international community welcomes China to play an even larger role on the international stage.     At the U.N. non-proliferation and disarmament summit, Hu advanced his statement on the new security concept that China advocates.     It was the first time in the past decade that a Chinese leader elaborated on China's policy toward nuclear issues in person at a multilateral occasion.     Yang quoted Hu as saying that China has always advocated a total ban and total destruction of nuclear weapons. Hu said China will stick to its self-defense nuclear strategy and to its promise not to be the first to ever resort to nuclear weapons under any circumstance.     China has also obliged itself to not threaten nuclear-free countries and regions with the use of nuclear weapons.     Hu told the non-proliferation and disarmament summit that China will continue to promote the process of international nuclear disarmament and to contribute efforts toward the system safeguarding the implementation of the non-proliferation treaty.     This approach, Hu said, has fully demonstrated China's fairness, responsibility and contribution toward the construction of a nuclear-free world, which reflected the legitimate claim by the developing countries, safeguarded the interests of the developing countries and helped to move the non-proliferation and disarmament talks to a more positive direction of development.     Yang described the G-20 summit as an effective platform on which the international community can cooperate in its joint dealings with the ongoing international financial and economic crises to better governance of the global economy.     Hu has participated in all three of the G-20 summits centered on the financial crisis. In Pittsburgh, Hu made it clear that though the world has seen positive economic signs, there is a long way to go before full recovery is achieved because there are many uncertainties remaining.     The Chinese president listed three tasks the international community must deal with without hesitation in face of their efforts to end the recession.     The tasks, Yang re-capped, are to keep stimulating economic growth, to promote reform of the international financial system, and to strike a balanced development of the world economy.     Hu said in Pittsburgh that all of the concerned countries should keep their stimulus plans in place and make more efforts in promoting consumption and domestic demand. He warned that those countries should also keep an eye on any potential side-effects of their efforts, especially concerning inflation.     The developing countries, Hu said, should be given more representation and say in the world's international financial institutions. He said that all of the countries concerned also should make efforts to forge an international mechanism for balanced development of the world economy.     Cooperation in technology should be given high priority so as to help bridge the gap between the developed and developing countries, Hu suggested.     Hu cited China as an obvious example of the packaged stimulus plan in face of the ongoing financial and economic crises. He said that his country would continue to carry out its promised and planned assistance to developing countries, especially those in Africa, and would try within its capacity to increase such assistance.     Hu's viewpoints and proposed measures on international cooperation on financial system won praise from many heads of state and government in Pittsburgh, Yang said.     The foreign minister said that the president based his proposals on safeguarding the fundamental interests of the people in China and around the world and therefore his viewpoints and measures got nods of approval from many of the leaders at the G-20summit.     As the U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen approaches, Yang said the issue of climate change is attracting greater public attention.     Because China is the largest developing country and an emerging economy, its stand on the issue is closely watched by the international community, Yang said.     "Global climate change has a profound impact on the existence and development of mankind and is a major challenge facing all countries," Hu stressed.     During his speech at the U.N. climate change summit, Hu put forward a four-point proposal on joint efforts to deal with climate change by the international community.     Fulfilling respective responsibilities should be at the core of the effort, Hu said.     Concerned parties should positively implement the "Bali Roadmap" talks according to the requests of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto protocol, Hu said.     Achieving mutual benefits and a win-win outcome should be the goal of the effort, Hu said.     Supporting developing countries in countering climate change is a responsibility of developed countries and also benefits their long-term interests, Hu said.     "We should realize a win-win outcome for both developed and developing countries, and interests of each state and the whole mankind," he said.     Promoting common development should be the basis of the effort, the president said.     "Without common development, particularly the development of developing countries, there cannot be a broad and solid basis in the long run for tackling climate change," he said.     Ensuring financing and technology holds the key to the success of the effort, Hu noted.     He urged the developed countries to take up their responsibilities and provide developing nations with new financial support to facilitate their dealings with climate change.     Although China faces a lot of difficulties in the course of development, it attaches great importance to climate change and has taken a series of measures to address the issue, Hu said.     The Chinese leader pledged that his country will further integrate actions on climate change into its economic and social development plan.     China will intensify efforts to conserve energy and improve energy efficiency, vigorously develop renewable and nuclear energy and step up efforts to develop a green economy, he said.     As a responsible country, Hu said, China will make the Copenhagen conference achieve positive results.     Hu emphasized the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and said that China firmly safeguards the interests of developing countries.     Hu announced significant measures China will adopt on emission reduction, which have been lauded by the international community, Yang said.     Many foreign leaders said Hu's speech hit the high points of current climate change talks, reflected the common aspirations of the developing countries, and showed the image of a responsible and large country, the foreign minister said.     After meeting with dozens of foreign leaders on the sidelines of the U.N. meetings and the G-20 financial summit, Hu reached consensus with them on bilateral relations and joint efforts to deal with the financial crisis, Yang said.     During talks with U.S. President Barack Obama, Hu pointed out that China and the United States should maintain frequent high-level exchanges and implement their pledges made at the first China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington in July.     They also should deepen cooperation on major international and regional issues, expand exchanges on humanity, properly address each other's interests and concerns, and firmly oppose protectionism, Hu said.     When meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Hu said China attaches great importance to enhancing its strategic partnership of cooperation with Russia. He said China is working to implement the consensus reached between the two sides. Both leaders agreed to further expand exchanges in various fields and deepen the Sino-Russian strategic partnership of cooperation.     Yang said Hu's meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama was the first between the two leaders since Hatoyama was elected prime minister on Sept. 16.     During their talks, Hu said the two sides should enhance high-level exchanges so as to improve political trust, promote trade and economic cooperation, and improve the feelings of their people toward each other in order to consolidate the basis of good public opinion.     Hu said that Japan's war-time history and Taiwan are two major issues concerning the political basis of Sino-Japanese relations. China hopes Japan can live up to its commitment and properly handle the two issues.     When meeting with his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy, Hu said China is ready to work with France to review the historical experience of bilateral relations, and promote a healthy and steady development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations.     Hu also met with South African President Jacob Zuma, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov of Turkmenistan and President Evo Morales of Bolivia on bilateral ties and major issues of common concern.     Yang said China has maintained friendly cooperation with nations in the world, and has forged partnership with many. Frequent high-level exchanges are an important way to boost bilateral ties with other countries.     Yang summed up Hu's attendance at the four summits as a complete success.     China will earnestly implement the consensus reached by Hu at the U.N. summits and expand cooperation with other nations to jointly meet the global challenges so as to contribute to the world's peace, stability and development, he said.

BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government has made clear Thursday that it will continue its proactive fiscal policy in the second half of this year to maintain its economic growth as government leaders reiterated the stance, for there are still uncertainties ahead.     Finance Minister Xie Xuren told local financial bureaus at a conference in Beijing on Thursday that the proactive policies, which included increased investment from the government, tax cuts and subsidies to low- income families, had taken effect in stimulating the recovery of the national economy.     The Chinese economy expanded 7.9 percent from a year ago in the second quarter of this year, driven by a surge of fixed-asset investment backed by government fiscal policies. Finance Minister Xie Xuren was seen in this file photo taken on March 6, 2008    The economic growth rate accelerated from the 6.1 percent in the first quarter of this year and the 6.8 percent in the fourth quarter of last year.     To weather the global economic recession, the Chinese government unveiled a four-trillion-yuan stimulus package in November to revive the world's third largest economy, which was slowed by tumbling exports. The central government promised a 1.18trillion yuan investment.     By the end of June, 591.5 billion yuan (86.6 billion U.S. dollars) out of the total investment from the central government had been allocated, which boosted a 33.5 percent jump of fixed-asset investment in the first half of this year. It was the highest level in the last five years.     The ministry's decision came as Chinese leaders vowed to continue the current policies.     Chinese President Hu Jintao said Thursday that China should adhere to its proactive fiscal policy and moderately easy monetary policy to ensure a stable economic growth as the recovery is not yet solid.     Premier Wen Jiabao has reiterated that the economy is in a crucial phase and rebounding. He pledged to maintain the current macroeconomic policies and fully implement its four-trillion yuan stimulus package.     Xie said the government will implement the fiscal policy "at full swing" in the second half of this year and speed up allocation of investment from government, which, Xie hoped, would stimulate private investment.     Yang Zhiyong, researcher of the Institute of Finance and Trade Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a government think tank, said that currently the proactive fiscal policy had a limited impact on pushing up private investment. It is hard for private investment to enter monopolistic sectors, he added.     Li Yining, an economist from the Peking University, said consumption should be spurred to fuel the growth momentum in the future as the current economic recovery was advanced mainly by investment. He suggested the proactive policy be further carried out to stimulate consumption and private investment in the following period.     Xie said in the second half the ministry will continue its policy of tax cuts to increase investment from enterprises and consumption.     The ministry also pledged to increase spending on people's livelihood. Investment in agriculture, social security, medical care, education, science and environmental protection climbed 33.9percent from a year earlier to 1.48 trillion yuan, according the ministry.     Analysts said the macroeconomic polices should also aim to adjust economic structure for the long term and to create new growth points.     Jia Kang, president of the Institute of Fiscal Science, Ministry of Finance, said the government resolves to step up adjustment of economic structure as the economy is back on track for recovery.     Xie said the fiscal policy in the second will support innovation and energy conservation and emission reduction to sustain the economic growth.     On July 21, the ministry started a pilot program to subsidize 50 percent of investment for solar power projects, a move to boost the solar industry as a new growth point for the country's economy.     Xie also urged to strengthen supervision over fiscal management and improve information transparency in the second half as fiscal expenditure in the second half faced great pressure. Wen Jiabao also described the country's fiscal situation as "severe."     The ministry said the country's fiscal revenue in the first six months fell 2.4 percent from a year ago to about 3.4 trillion yuan, while its fiscal expenditure rose 26.3 percent to 2.89 trillion yuan.
