NANCHANG, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese commerce official on Sunday called on foreign investors to maintain their confidence in the country, promising China would make continuous efforts to improve its investment environment.Qian Fangli, deputy director of the Department of Foreign Investment Administration under the Ministry of Commerce (MOC), made the statement at a forum during the Expo Central China 2010 that opened Sunday.Although operation costs in China were rising because of higher labor and raw materials costs, foreign investment continued growing rapidly " because improvements in China's investment environment helped lower their investment costs and boost confidence," Qian said.Further, she noted that the Chinese government would continue to improve policies to encourage foreign investors. But she did not provide further details.In the first eight months of this year, foreign direct investment in China totaled 65.96 billion U.S. dollars, up 18.06 percent from one year earlier, according to MOC statistics.The Expo Central China, scheduled to run from Sept. 26 to Sept. 28, invited economists, entrepreneurs and officials to attend. The expo seeks to promote development in central China, which spans six provinces -- Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei and Hunan.

BEIJING, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday called for the country's citizens to actively participate in and cooperate with the sixth national census that starts on Nov.1.Li made the remarks in a pep talk through national TV and radio broadcast for the census on Thursday, saying that the upcoming census was a major event as the Chinese population and its structure and flow had greatly changed since 2000 when the fifth census was conducted.China, the world's most populous country, conducts national census every ten years to collect basic information for making economic and social policies.Every citizen has the obligation to participate in the national census and cooperate with the enumerators coming to their homes to make the statistics more accurate, Li said, adding that personal information collected in the census will be kept as confidential data.

BEIJING, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan Monday pledged to work with Cuba to lift the friendly bilateral relationship to a new level.Wang made the remarks while meeting with Ricardo Cabrisas Ruiz, Vice President of the Council of Ministers of Cuba.Cabrisas is in China to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two nations.Cuba was the first Latin American nation to forge diplomatic relations with China, in 1960.Wang spoke highly of the development of China-Cuba ties over the past half a century, noting that the two countries have always supported each other and enjoyed frequent high level visits.China will work with Cuba to expand win-win cooperation and strengthen economic and trade links with a view to further advancing bilateral ties, Wang said.Wang said China will continue to help Cuba within its capacity.Cabrisas thanked China for offering economic and technological assistance to his country.He said Cuba will make concerted efforts with China to promote pragmatic cooperation in various sectors while pushing forward the existing sound bilateral relationship.

BEIJING, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- China began its sixth nationwide population census at midnight Monday to document the demographic changes in the world's most populous country and form basis for policy making.More than 6 million census workers are to knock on the doors of about 400 million households across the country in the following 10 days. Results of the 8-billion-yuan census will be released by the end of next April.WHEN MIDNIGHT CAMEWhen it came to midnight on Monday and the census was officially begun, 28-year-old Wang Yi in Jinan, capital of east China's Shandong, began knocking on a door in an apartment building.A young man with a drowsy look opened the door.Wang, after showing his certificate as a census worker, explained why he had to disturb him at midnight. In the preliminary poll conducted to prepare for the census, Wang and his colleagues could not find him. Neither did the young man respond to the notice that census takers left at his door.The man, who had missed the poll due to business elsewhere, appeared to be very cooperative and quickly fill out the questionnaire which had questions about name, age, job and housing condition.In Zhejiang, a east China province with active private economy, census takers are visiting migrant workers at night.In dim light on a square of Huzhou City, Zhejiang, 16 martial arts performers from Henan living in their vans were interviewed.After the interviews, each of the 16 migrants received a card proving that they had been surveyed so that they would not be counted twice.DIFFERENCE THIS TIMEDifferent from previous census, the floating population this year was registered at where they actually live, rather than where their permanent residence is as written on their ID cards.Also, for the first time people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as foreigners in the Chinese mainland, are included in the census. But those on short-term business or sight-seeing trips will not be covered.The census will collect data on foreigner's name, age, gender, nationality, educational attainment, purpose and duration of stay. Questionnaires for foreigners are simpler than those for Chinese.Ma Li, director of the Research Center for Chinese Population and Development, said the changes were necessary."To register according to where the floating population are could help us avoid mistakes like registering a person twice," she said.Driven by the fast-paced social and economical development, China's floating population is growing at a rate of 1.24 percent per year and China is now home to some 230 million migrant workers. To register them in the census is very difficult, Ma added.Jiang Xiangqun, a professor with the School of Sociology and Population Studies, Renmin University, noted that some new questions were added to the census form this year, such as health condition, housing condition and social insurance."The population of seniors is growing," he said. "Such question will help the government make policies to provide for the aged."HARD BUT HELPFULAs Chinese people's awareness of privacy grows, census takers are facing difficulty in getting the information they need.Wang Xin was a census taker in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province."In front of our compound there was a lady in her 40s selling pickles," she recalled. "During the preliminary poll, she refused to tell us her phone number."Wang and her colleagues took turns buying pickles from the lady, who finally told them her phone number.Wang's fellow worker, 58-year-old Zhu Rongquan, noted that in some compounds the real estate companies were not very cooperative. "In one compound the real estate company even warned us not to disturb the residents."Zhu had to wait outside in the cold wind, approaching the residents before they entered the building gate."Some residents were sympathetic, asking us to go in and gave us a cup of hot water," he said gratefully.During the door-to-door visit, census takers could encounter various problems.Wang Bin, a 38-year-old worker from Shijiazhuang City of Hebei, could not find a man registered as being born in 1919. After asking many people she learned that the man had died."I have had more than 40 such cases: someone was registered as alive but actually was dead," she said.China conducted its first nationwide population census in 1953. Since 1990 it has conducted the census every ten years. In the last census, China's population stood at 1.295 billion.

BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- After several similar criminal cases led to greatly varying punishments triggering public concerns, Chinese courts are adopting a series of measures to ensure uniform standards for sentencing criminals.On Oct. 1, two documents that instruct judges on uniform procedures for sentence measurements will be put into use in all Chinese courts, which is said to be a "major reform" for the country's legal system regarding criminal prosecution.According to the new procedures, courts should first set up a penalty baseline for a criminal case based upon basic criminal facts. Then additional punishments will be added according to the amount of money involved, the frequency of the defendants' violations, the consequences and other factors. At last, courts will adjust the results considering the case's overall nature and issue a final sentence.The move came after a series of similar drunk driving cases that led to greatly varying punishments.In July 2009, the Intermediate People's Court of Chengdu in southwestern Sichuan Province sentenced a drunk driver named Sun Weiming to death following an auto accident in which he was driving without a license and killed four people. In the second trial, the verdict was changed to life imprisonment.Sun's case was deemed as a crime against public security.However, one month later another drunk driver in central China's Henan Province only received a jail term of six years and six months for killing six and injuring seven people.That case was ruled to be a traffic accident crime."(The reform) is of significant importance for regulating judicial actions, providing uniform standards for law applications, promoting righteous and uncorrupted justice and boosting the authority and credibility of the country's courts," said Wang Shengjun, president of the Supreme People's Court (SPC), at a Thursday meeting."The Criminal Law only lays down a very wide range of sentences for certain types of crimes, and thus it is very difficult for prosecutors to give a specific sentence based on that," said SPC vice president Xiong Xuanguo in an exclusive interview with Xinhua Thursday.Xiong noted that different judges, given their different knowledge, manners and experience, will also have varied views on the same case.According to the documents, another major change is to introduce advice on sentence measurements from procuratorate organs, including the types and scopes of punishments and how to implement them.Also, courts are allowed to organize public prosecutors, parties involved, their defenders and legal representatives to offer their own advice on sentencing measurements.With the introduction of sentencing measurement advice from defenders, legal representatives and other parties involved, the new rules were expected to balance judges' considerable powers of discretion, said Professor Chen Weidong with the Renmin University of China.According to the SPC, since June last year more than 120 pilot Chinese courts have already been following the new procedures when prosecuting 45,000 criminal cases in 15 regular categories, including traffic accidents, robbery, theft, and drugs, among others.The trial practice has seen positive results as sentences among cases of similar natures and those in different regions were not as varied as before.The rate of appeals and change of sentences in second trials also dropped in these courts, according to Xiong.Meanwhile, Xiong sought to assure those concerned that the new rules would not excessively limit judges' powers as "the standards for sentence measurements, themselves, were made based on all prosecutors' discretion." < "If the measurement results are not appropriate, judges will still have the right to make certain adjustments," Xiong said, adding that local courts will also set down detailed sentence measures according to the characteristics of their regions."The reform is an inevitable process for China's criminal prosecution to transform from rough estimation to precise, scientific and canonical," Professor Chen said.
