BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) -- With China's traditional holiday for honoring the dead falling on Monday, throngs of people jostle along the 2-km road in Liudaokou village, Tianjin Municipality, where more than 100 wholesale funeral supply shops compete for business."This urn is 170 yuan (24.9 U.S. dollars) wholesale, 1,000 yuan retail here. A retailer can sell it for 5,000 yuan in the city," says saleswoman Li Na, pointing at a plain red wood urn inscribed with two Chinese characters "bai fu", or a hundred blessings."It's easy money," says Li. "Take urns for example, no one wants to bargain for a container of his father, mother or whoever's ashes."In a country where about 10 million people die every year, the funeral industry market is worth tens of billions yuan, says Hao Maishou, a researcher with Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences.However, a lack of market standards and management is allowing unscrupulous business people to monopolize areas of the industry and exploit people's grief, Hao adds.URN PRICESIn another shop, tags claim that the urns, priced from 200 to 600 yuan, are made of rare and precious ebony or redwood, a claim that invites questions.Li says, "Of course they are not made of ebony or redwood, or they would not be so inexpensive, but if the urns were finely made and tagged with high prices, customers wouldn't doubt it."Wang Na, owner of Lingzhitang funeral supply shop, teaches a novice retailer to sell a 200-yuan urn for 5,000 yuan. "Say it's ebony, rosewood, redwood or whatever precious material and quote high. Customers like premium urns. They won't buy cheap ones."Elaborate funeral remains a traditional culture of the Chinese, as nobody wants to be regarded as stingy or unfilial on funeral issues, especially for deceased family members, says a Tianjin businessman involved in funeral service, who only identifies himself as Liu."As long as you understand and utilize such a feeling, you are guaranteed to make a pile," Liu says.At an urban Tianjin funeral home, a government-run facility that provides cremation and funeral services, an "ebony" urn bearing the traditional painting, Riverside Scene on Tomb-sweeping Day, sells for 12,800 yuan while the same urn costs only 1,100 yuan in Liudaokou.A plain-looking urn inscribed "Always remembered" in Chinese characters is priced at 10,000 yuan. Urns of the same inscription, materials and shape sell for 180 yuan in Liudaokou.

NANNING, May 15 (Xinhua) -- Three people were killed and one was missing amid heavy rains that pounded a scenic city of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for the past two days, Guangxi's flood-control and drought relief headquarters said Saturday.Continuous rainstorms triggered mud-rock flows Thursday night in Ziyuan County of Guilin City, killing three people there, the headquarters said.On Friday morning, a fisherman was swept away by rain-triggered floods in Gongcheng County of Guilin.Rainstorms had incurred property losses to about 19,000 people in Guilin as more than 30 houses collapsed, 1,100 hectares of farmland were inundated and many public facilities were damaged.The economic damage was estimated at 13.2 million yuan (1.9 million U.S. dollars).In southern province of Guangdong, three rainstorms pelted Guangzhou, the provincial capital, over the past week, with rainfall up to 440 mm, a record high in 25 years.The precipitation equalled to a quarter of the city's annual rainfall, according to meteorological statistics, said Lin Liangxun, Guangdong's chief weather forecaster.Guangdong has reported one missing.

BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- The goal of China's foreign trade policy in 2010 was to improve its trade balance while maintaining steady export growth, said the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) spokesman Thursday.The country's trade surplus was expected to shrink by another 100 billion U.S. dollars in 2010, said Yao Jian, the MOC spokesman, at a press conference.The statement came less than a week after the country posted its first monthly trade deficit for March in six years, which was valued at 7.24 billion U.S. dollars, according to the General Administration of Customs (GAC) last Saturday.The GAC said the March deficit mainly stemmed from shrinking exports of labor intensive products, surging imports volumes and rising commodity prices, and predicted the country's trade surplus might continue decrease for the rest of the year.Echoing the GAC, Yao said the country's foreign trade was likely to keep heading toward a more balanced state, while some experts predicted China's trade would soon return to surplus."The trade deficit registered in March demonstrated expanding domestic demand accompanied by lukewarm demand in the international market," Yao said."Because such a situation would continue, the monthly trade deficit seen in March would remain, at least in the first half of 2010," he said.The deficit also proved that, in an era of economic globalization, it was market supply and demand, and other factors that decided trade balance rather than exchange rates, said Yao.Yao portrayed the deficit in March as the continuation of a shrinking trade surplus that started to appear in 2008, and also as a result of the central government's macroeconomic policy in balancing the economy.In recent years, China has worked hard to restructure its economy away from excessive dependence on exports and the manufacturing sector, while a whole range of measures have been taken to expand domestic demand.The goal of China's foreign trade policy was to further balance trade while maintaining stable growth in exports, he said.Yao expected the ratio of China's trade surplus to its gross domestic product (GDP) to fall to 3 to 4 percent from last year's 5.7 percent.When an economy's ratio stays between 5 percent and minus 5 percent, its trade can be considered as more or less balanced, said Yao Jian, citing a commonly accepted standard adopted in the economics field.The conclusion coincides with another set of data provided by the GAC chief Sheng Guangzu in an exclusive interview with Xinhua on Wednesday.Sheng said the ratio of China's trade surplus to its total trade volume declined to 2.3 percent in the first quarter this year from more than 10 percent registered between 2006 and 2008."When the ratio is below 10 percent, it means the country's foreign trade can be deemed as balanced," said Sheng citing an international standard.Sheng also said that China never worked towards having a trade surplus and the country was committed to making its foreign trade more balanced.China's trade surplus would continue to shrink as a result of the country's efforts to restructure and balance its foreign trade, he said, echoing the views of Yao.
