BEIJING, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) channeled more than 1 billion yuan (about 151.8 million U.S. Dollars) raised by the lottery to public welfare programs in 2010, according to a statement issued by the MCA Tuesday.China's government-run lottery raised 30 billion yuan for public welfare funds in 2010, according to the MCA.Half of the funds were allocated to welfare projects administered by central authorities, including the MCA, and half to welfare projects organized by local governments.The quota for the MCA to use at its own discretion was 1.053 billion yuan, which was mainly directed for improving the welfare of the aged, the disabled, children, and those impacted by natural disasters.Of the 1 billion yuan, 604 million yuan went to providing care and rehabilitation to the aged and the disabled.Additionally, 417 million yuan went to welfare programs for children, including providing care and rehabilitation to disabled orphans, children suffering cerebral palsy, AIDS-impacted children, and providing shelters to homeless juveniles, among others.The rest of the fund went to government procurement of social services, and retrofitting incineration and burial infrastructures in the underdeveloped west and central regions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- China and the United States will continue to pursue the common interest without being affected by the recent changes of the U.S. political landscape, said a U.S. scholar on Friday."There is a lot of consistency in China-U.S. relations. If you look back over time, whether it is Democrats or Republicans in the Congress or in the White House, China has always been an important country for the United States. Both countries will continue to pursue the common interest," said Elizabeth Wishnick, Research Associate at Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University.She told Xinhua in an interview that it would be difficult to see major changes occurring between U.S.-China ties after the U.S. midterm elections, because both countries share so many common interests in terms of preventing the nuclear proliferation weapons and reducing the problems of terrorism, etc."Keep in mind the long-term interests we share and the long history of cooperation we have, China and U.S. will find ways to move forward and have good possibility for future cooperation," she stressed.Wishnick admitted that it is a difficult time right now for U.S. and China, because "the economy is pulling both nations in different directions and no solution has been worked out yet to resolve the pressing economic problems that divide us.""It's a challenge for us to keep focus on what can be accomplished bilaterally, instead of getting too distracted by pressing current problems. If we could have better understanding of each other's domestic concern, it will help have less confrontational dialogue," she added.She regarded Chinese President Hu Jintao and U.S. President Obama's meeting on the sidelines of the G20 Summit, as well as President Hu's coming visit in January, as good opportunities for two leaders to further deepen mutual understandings."It is a process of building trust. As long as they are able to discuss their differences, they have better chance to be able to address them more effectively," she said.

BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- China Wednesday released its first ever white paper on the nation's anti-graft efforts, expressing its resolve to strengthen the fight against corruption.The document, titled China's Efforts to Combat Corruption and Build a Clean Government, was issued by the Information Office of the State Council, or Cabinet.Ren Jianming, director of the Anti-Corruption and Governance Research Center at Tsinghua University, said corruption is a sensitive issue, and the white paper shows "China has a more open and cooperative attitude toward the problem."The report will help eliminate bias and misunderstanding about China's anti-graft battle as it details both achievements and problems, said He Zengke, a researcher at the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau, a prominent research institute on Marxism and Chinese policies."It will help people develop a correct, objective and comprehensive understanding of China," he said.China's efforts to combat corruption and build a clean government have been managed systematically and promoted comprehensively and "achieved results," the report said.From 2003 to 2009, prosecutors at all levels investigated more than 240,000 cases of embezzlement, bribery, dereliction of duty, and rights infringement, according to the report.From January to November, the Party's discipline watchdogs investigated 119,000 graft cases, resulting in 113,000 people being punished, of whom 4,332 were prosecuted, said Wu Yuliang, secretary general of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of Communist Party of China (CPC), at a press conference Wednesday.From 2005 until 2009, over 69,200 cases of commercial bribery -- involving some 16.59 billion yuan in funds -- were investigated, it said.In 2009, some 7,036 officials were held responsible for serious mistakes, breach of duty, and failing to manage and supervise subordinates, the report said.The report quoted a National Bureau of Statistics survey as saying that 83.8 percent of Chinese thought corruption was reduced to some extent in 2010, which was up from 68.1 percent in 2003.The document warned that the task of curbing corruption remains arduous.China has undergone dramatic economic and social change, and the ideas and concepts of the people have altered, leading to increased social conflict, the report said."Since the relevant mechanisms and systems are still incomplete, corruption persists, some cases even involving huge sums of money," the report said. "Breaches of law and discipline tend to be more covert, intelligent and complicated."The CPC and the government understand the "long-haul, complicated and arduous" nature of the anti-graft mission, the report said."They will resolutely punish and effectively prevent corruption with more resolutions and powerful measures," the report said.The report introduces the principles, working mechanisms and legal framework for China's anti-graft system. It also sets out the progress made in combating corruption and international anti-graft cooperation.Despite the achievements made, more work has to be done to meet the people's expectation for anti-graft efforts, especially with improving the transparency of decision making, He said.Many difficulties and problems facing the anti-graft work will be solved through the reform of the systems, he said.On Tuesday the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the country's central leadership, set objectives for the country's anti-graft mission in the next phase, stressing better anti-corruption supervision on construction projects, public money being held in private account, extravagant ceremonies, and government vehicles.Prof. Yan Shuhan at the Central Party School said the Communist Party of China should stay sober-minded and persistent in its anti-graft endeavor and face the problems head on.
