FUZHOU, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Tropical storm Lionrock, the eighth of this year, made landfall on east China's Fujian Province early Thursday morning, local meteorologists said.The storm landed at Gulei Town of Zhangpu County at around 6:50 a.m. with a speed of 82.8 km per hour near its center.Under the impact of Lionrock, torrential rain was seen along the coast of Zhangzhou City, and the rain was the heaviest in Dongshan and Zhangpu counties.No casualties have been reported.Local meteorologists have warned residents of mudflows and landslides that might be triggered by the tropical storm.The meteorologists forecast that rainfalls would be up to 100 to 200 mm in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen and Putian cities of Fujian from Thursday to Friday.By 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, 162,200 people in the province had been evacuated to safe places, and 50,703 fishing ships had been back to harbors.

BEIJING, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- China's central bank Tuesday announced a rise of its benchmark one-year lending and deposit rate by 0.25 percentage points effective from Oct. 20, a move widely seen as the government's action against inflationary pressure.The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in a statement on its website that the one-year deposit rate will rise from 2.25 percent to 2.50 percent, and the one-year lending rate will increase from 5.31 percent to 5.56 percent.The rise, the first over the past three years, had not been anticipated and could be related to the impending September statistics and the third quarter statistics, said Jiang Chao, an analyst with Guotai Junan Securities.The CPI (Consumer Price Index), a key gauge of inflation, may maintain its high level in September, Jiang said.The rate hikes are the first in three years. The central bank last hiked rates on Dec. 21, 2007.The benchmark interest rate has been cut four times since the global financial crisis.Li Daokui, a member of the PBOC's monetary policy committee, said statistics showed China's economy has been bottoming out from the accelerated slump at the beginning of this year, but prices of goods remain at a high level, attracting attention from policy makers.Further, policy makers have to seek a balance between economic growth, restructuring and stable prices, Li said."Judging from the move, worries about soaring prices overwhelmed jitters on economic growth, as is the main reason for the interests rate hike. Negative interests rate (higher CPI increases than deposit interests rate) is also another reason," Li said.Liu Yuhui, an expert with the Institute of Finance and Banking at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the interests rate hike this time is related to expectations of inflation as the negative interests rate has continued for seven months.China has been experiencing hikes in prices of agricultural products, urban services like home rents and catering, Liu said."We believed it was caused by soaring labor costs, also related to issue of currencies and soaring living costs in cities," Li said.Prices of garlic, ginger and sugar have jumped in China's market. Sugar prices in Shanghai stood at 6,000 yuan (900.90 U.S. dollars) per tonne, much higher than 2,700 yuan per tonne seen one year earlier.

BEIJING, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Senior Communist Party of China (CPC) leader Zhou Yongkang said here Monday the Chinese government hopes to increase security and law enforcement cooperation with Cuba."We should work together to jointly safeguard the two nations' security and interests," Zhou, Standing Committee member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said when meeting with Cuban Interior Minister Abelardo Colome Ibarra.Hailing the traditional friendship between China and Cuba, Zhou spoke highly of Cuba's efforts to cope with the international financial crisis and natural disasters.He also applauded Cuba's achievements in social and economic progress.Colome, also vice president of the Council of State of Cuba, said he was encouraged by China's achievements and his country will firmly support China in issues concerning its core interests.

BEIJING, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- China will reduce its rare earth export quotas next year, but not by a very large margin, Yao Jian, spokesman of China's Ministry of Commerce, said Tuesday."To protect the environment and natural resources, China will stick to the quota system to manage rare earth exports next year, and quotas will also decline," Yao told Xinhua.Though giving no clear extent of the decline, Yao's remarks echoed the comments of Wang Jian, a vice minister of commerce, made Monday at a press conference."I believe China will see no large rise or fall in rare earth exports next year," said Wang.Wang emphasized that China has no embargo on rare earth exports, even though it uses a quota-system as a method of management.Containing a class of 17 chemical elements, rare earths have been widely employed in manufacturing sophisticated products including flat-screen monitors, electric car batteries, wind turbines, missiles and aerospace alloys. However, mining the metals is very damaging to the environment.Chinese officials have said on many occasions that China will strictly protect its non-renewable resources to prevent environmental damages due to over-exploitation and reckless mining.China started the quota system on rare earth exports in 1998 and later banned it in processing trade. In 2006, China stopped granting new rare earth mining licenses and existing mines have since been operating according to government plans.In early September, the State Council, or China's Cabinet, unveiled regulations to encourage merger and acquisitions within the industry.However, China's restrictive policies were criticized by Japan, the United States and other European countries, claiming China's management violated World Trade Organization rules."China has no choice but to take such measures," Chen Deming, China's Commerce Minister, said in August. He pointed out that exports of rare earths should not threaten the country's environment or national security.In response to the increasing criticism of China's rare earth exports management, the spokesman for China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said last week that China "will not use rare earths as a bargaining chip"."It is the common strategy of some countries, such as the United States, to use global resources while conserving their own in their homeland," said Zhang Hanlin, director of China Institute for WTO Studies in China's University of International Business and Economics."Creating conflicts on resource issues for their self interests is a common practice," he said.China is the world's largest producer and exporter of rare earths. With about one-third of all proven rare earth reserves, China's exports account for more than 90 percent of the world total."This shows some countries are conserving rare earth resources," said Yao.Early media reports said China would reduce the export quotas by up to 30 percent in 2011. Yet, this was denied as "false" and "groundless" by the Ministry of Commerce.The ministry said the Chinese government will set the 2011 export quotas based upon the rare earths output, market demand and the needs for sustainable development.It also said China would continue to supply rare earths to the world. Meanwhile, it will also take measures to limit the exploitation, production and exports of rare earths to maintain sustainable development, which is in line with WTO principles."Some countries managed to meet the openness requirement of international trade policies when limiting its resources exports," said Feng Jun, a director of the Shanghai WTO Affairs Consultation Center."China should learn from the experiences and explore its own way of protecting its strategic resources," said Feng.
