BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhua) -- China's Health Ministry on Monday vowed to ban smoking in all its offices in four months, part of an arduous campaign to curb public smoking around the country.Yang Qing, director with the ministry's community health department, told reporters that hospitals, clinics and other medical institutes nationwide should follow suit to impose strict smoking ban by 2011."No Smoking" signs will be placed in the ministry's conference rooms, lavatories, car parks and stairways while a designated smoking area will be set up outside the office building, the official said.He said the ministry also bans its employees from giving tobacco as gifts -- a rooted tradition in China's office culture. Employees who break the ban will be punished, while those who quit smoking in a year can expect cash rewards.Though Yang did not elaborate how hospitals and clinics under the ministry's supervision should go tobacco-free, it is widely believed that similar policies will be imposed soon among the country's medical institutes.Data from the ministry show China has more than 350 million smokers, mostly men influenced by a macho culture. Doctors with smoking habit have become a prime target of China's tobacco control campaign.Yang said smoking should be banned in all public venues, workplaces and public transport vehicles by 2011, according to the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which took effect in 2005.It was signed by the Chinese government in 2003 and ratified by the country's top legislature in 2005. National and local governments ramped up anti-smoking campaigns in recent years, but these were not effective as expected because no strict laws are in place, observers said.Yang said the ministry is now coordinating with the country's lawmakers to push for such legislation.

NINGBO, Zhejiang, May 16 (Xinhua) -- Internet of Things (IOT) -- which refers to digital networks of physical objects -- has huge potentials but many challenges lie ahead, said scientists, entrepreneurs and government officials on Sunday.IOT has become a catchword for those at the Information and Communication Technology and Urban Development Forum held in east China's coastal Ningbo this weekend on the sidelines of the Shanghai Expo; from ministers to mayors, scientists to entrepreneurs, keynote speakers to audiences.China should accelerate the development of the IOT industry so as to create a new platform for economic growth, said Li Yizhong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology in his opening speech to the forum.The first theme forum of the Shanghai World Expo is closed in Ningbo, a coastal city of east China's Zhejiang Province, May 16, 2010. The two-day forum focusing on information and communication technologies (ICT) and urban development attracted over 600 participants including renowned scholars and entrepreneurs.Minister Li's words were echoed by Zhao Hongzhu, communist party chief of Zhejiang Province, who called for more efforts to develop such key concepts as IOT, which, in his words, "present a brilliant future for urban life."In what's called Internet of Things, networks of real-world objects are linked to the Internet and interact through web services. As more objects are embedded with sensors, giving them the ability to communicate, and networked together, the possibilities are enormous, potentially resulting in new business models, improved business processes and reduced costs and risks, according to a March 2010 report by McKinsey & Co..

XIANGNING, Shanxi, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Rescuers Friday sent food and messages of hope to miners who have been trapped for five days in a flooded north China coal mine.The rescue team sent 360 bags of glucose, each 200 ml, down the 250-meter Wangjialing Coal Mine in Shanxi Province after hearing banging on a metal pipe.Pan Zengwu, deputy chief of the Shanxi provincial coal geological bureau, said rescuers heard what they believed to be the trapped miners making the noise at 2:15 p.m..The rescuers knocked on the drill pipe to respond, Pan said.A rescuer tears up a bag of glucose by his teeth at Wangjialing Coal Mine, which straddles Xiangning County, of Linfen City, and Hejin, a county-level city within Yuncheng City, north China's Shanxi Province, on April 2, 2010. Rescuers on Friday heard the sound of knocking on pipes at the flooded mine where 153 miners have been trapped for five daysHe said the rescue team sent 360 bags of glucose, each 200 ml, down the 250-meter pit.Rescuers have been drilling holes to pump out water and send down food.An iron wire was found attached at the end of a drill pipe when it was lifted to the surface at 3 p.m..Pan said this was apparently tied on by the trapped miners.Rescuers tried again to make contact with the miners by shouting through the pipe and knocking on the pipe at about 6:02 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. after they sent more bags of glucose down the pit.After a period of silence, Xinhua reporters at the site clearly heard several sounds of tapping on the pipe from underground."It is a good news. So long as they are still alive, it is all worth it for us to work even harder," said a rescuer surnamed Liu from central Henan Province.With glucose, rescuers sent a plastic bottle containing two short letters, a ballpoint pen and paper down the pit. They also sent down a special phone for use in mines.One letter said: "Dear fellow workers, the Party Central Committee, the State Council and the whole nation have been concerned for your safety all the time... All of us are very happy about the message of life you have conveyed, and are racing the clock and going all out to save you. You must have confidence and hold on to the last!"The other said: "Dear brothers, please wait in patience... The water will be soon drained. You must hold on and on! How about the gas and ventilation underground? What do you need us to do? Please tell us..."About 3,000 rescuers are struggling to pump water and reach the trapped miners.The water level underground had dropped by 3.3 meters by 4 p.m. Friday after a total of 66,000 cubic meters of water had been pumped from the shaft, said Liu Dezheng, a spokesman of the rescue headquarters and deputy director of the General Office with the Shanxi Provincial Work Safety Committee, at a news conference late Friday.Altogether 14 pumps were pumping up to 1,935 cubic meters of water per hour, he said, adding rescuers were installing one more pump.Rescuers said the trapped miners were working on nine different platforms, and four platforms had not been totally submerged, making it possible that some workers could have survived.The flooding happened at about 1:40 p.m. Sunday when underground water gushed into the pit of Wangjialing Coal Mine, which was under construction. Altogether 261 miners were working underground, and 108 were lifted safely to the surface.Rescuers said the flooding took place when workers digging tunnels broke through into an old shaft filled with water.The mine, which straddles Xiangning County, of Linfen City, and Hejin, a county-level city within Yuncheng City, covers about 180 square kilometers.The mining zone was estimated to have more than 2.3 billion tonnes of coal reserves, including 1.04 billion tonnes of proven reserves, according to the company's official website.The mine, affiliated to the state-owned Huajin Coking Coal Co. Ltd., is a major project approved by the provincial government. It is expected to produce 6 million tonnes of coal annually once in operation.If the trapped workers cannot be saved, the accident will be China's worst mining disaster in more than two years. In August 2007, a total of 181 workers died at two flooded coal mines neighboring each other -- 172 at one mine -- in Xintai, eastern Shandong Province.

BEIJING, May 22 -- China's stock index futures wrapped up their first month of trading on Friday as the May contract was delivered smoothly without triggering sharp declines or volatility in the spot market.The May contract rose 0.51 percent to close at 2749.8 points while the June contract, the most actively traded, rose 1.44 percent to close at 2801 points. The CSI 300 Index, which tracks 300 large caps traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen bourses gained 1.57 percent to 2768.79 points.The smooth settlement of the May contract eased investors' worries about the "expiration day effect", with fears that it would trigger sharper volatility on the spot market due to more active trading of index futures as investors rushed to close positions for May and changed to June contracts on that day."The trading volume and the holdings of the May contract dramatically decreased in the past month, which significantly reduced the incentive of price manipulation in the spot market," said Yang Cui, an analyst at Changjiang Securities.Chen Zhenzhi, an analyst at Guangfa Futures, said the impact of the expiry day was very limited due to the fact that most institutional investors have not participated in index futures trading.The China's index futures market is still dominated by retail investors although securities firms and equity funds have been allowed to trade the new financial instrument. The securities regulator required that institutional investors should trade index futures for hedging rather than speculative purposes.Trading of index futures contracts, agreements to buy or sell the CSI 300 Index at a present value on an agreed date, allow investors to profit from both gains and declines in the market. Chinese investors could previously only profit from gains in equity prices.Some analysts said the launch of the financial instrument was one of the reasons leading to the recent decline as the short selling mechanism increases market volatility in the short term.The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index has declined 17 percent since the launch of index futures trading on April 16. It has been ranked as one of the world's worst performers along with some debt-troubled European countries.But Wang Lianzhou, former deputy director of the National People's Congress' finance and economics committee, was recently quoted by Chinese media as saying that the market's decline should not be blamed on index futures, which is designed to make the market more professional and less speculative.

BEIJING, May 31 -- Evidence obtained illegally - such as through torture during interrogation - cannot be used in testimony, particularly in cases involving the death penalty, according to two regulations issued on Sunday.A death sentence should be pronounced only with sufficient evidence acquired through legal means, stipulate the two regulations: One on evidence review in death sentence cases, and the other on excluding illegal evidence in criminal cases.Jointly issued by the top court, the top procuratorate, the ministries of public security, state security and justice, they are the first specific rules on collection of evidence and review in criminal cases.The first regulation sets out principles and rules for scrutinizing and gauging evidence in cases involving the death penalty, and the other sets out detailed procedure for examining evidence and for excluding evidence obtained illegally.They are expected to cut down on death sentences and reduce forced confessions, experts said.The regulations make it clear that evidence with unclear origin, confessions obtained through torture, or testimony obtained through violence and intimidation are invalid, particularly in death sentences."Not a single mistake is allowed in fact finding and collection of evidence in cases involving the death sentence," said a written Q&A released by the five central departments on Sunday.The new regulations define illegal evidence and include specific procedures on how to exclude such evidence.Lu Guanglun, a senior judge at the Supreme People's Court, said such details do not exist in the Criminal Procedure Law and its judicial interpretations."This is the first time that a systematic and clear regulation tells law enforcers that evidence obtained through illegal means is not only illegal but also useless," said Zhao Bingzhi, dean of the law school at Beijing Normal University."Previously we could only infer from abstract laws that illegal evidence is not allowed. But in reality, in many cases, such evidence was considered valid," he said."This is big progress, both for the legal system and for better protection of human rights," he said. "It will help reduce the number of executions".Zhao said the new rules will also help change the mindset of law enforcers and reduce torture in interrogation, one of the causes of wrongful sentences.Ever since the top court started reviewing all death sentences in 2007, the overall quality of handling criminal cases has improved, but a lot of problems still remain, the joint Q&A said.In 2008, the top court announced that about 15 percent of death sentence verdicts by lower courts in 2007 were found to have faults.On May 20, Zhou Yongkang, secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Political and Legislative Committee, said at a meeting that "the criminal legal system should be perfected and law enforcers should improve their capability to ensure that every case handled can stand the test of law and time". Lu at the top court said the new rules will help prevent wrongful convictions like the one in which an innocent villager in Henan province was wrongly prosecuted.The case of Zhao Zuohai, who stayed behind bars for 11 years until the man he allegedly murdered turned up alive on April 30, has attracted national attention and triggered public criticism of judicial officers after Zhao said he was tortured by local police to confess.Three former police officers have been arrested for allegedly torturing Zhao."Such cases seriously undermine the image of China's justice system and people's trust in the government," said Bian Jianlin, a law professor at China University of Political Science and Law.
