BEIJING, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- "It seems that the world suddenly fell silent when the traditionally noisy Mid-Autumn Festival coincided with Car-Free Day," said "ice14" on the microblog at sina.com.cn.On Wednesday, China celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as China's fourth Car-Free Day, as citizens in 110 cities were encouraged to leave their cars and travel by public transportations, bicycles, or on foot.In cities like Beijing, Guangzhou, and Changsha, temporary Car-Free Zones which limit the driving of private cars were set up.Due to the campaign, many citizens chose to give up driving cars and, instead, use low-carbon means of travel."I decided to cycle around on this holiday with my boyfriend after learning that it's Car-Free Day today," said Li Yang, a resident of Jinan in east China's Shandong province.In Hangzhou, the scenic capital of Zhejiang province, 51,500 bicycles were placed at 2,050 rental points to encourage residents to travel by bicycle, said Tao Xuejun, vice general manager of the Municipal Public Bicycle Service Company.The municipal transport offices in Zhengzhou City and Kunming City also made special arrangements to support the campaign, including increasing the frequency of buses, adding bus routes, offering discounted tickets and limiting the use of government vehicles. However, the situations differ in other cities, and not all citizens are satisfied with the arrangements of the local authorities."Why are there still large traffic jams?" wrote "Yuerrachel", a sina microbloger under a photo showing blocked roads. "It is more of a show", said "Fengjiechuanqi" in a microblog at Sina.com.cn."It seems no big difference from the daily situation here. Only a few people are willing to give up driving cars," said Cui Rongrong, an economic analyst working in Shandong.Other netizens also accused the Car-Free policy of becoming an obstacle to normal transport."Due to the establishment of the Car-Free Zone on major roads, the private cars which have to go other ways blocked roads outside the zone," said a microblog of "Momingqimiaode" on Sina.com.cn.Actually, the rapid increase in the number of private cars has caused a heavy burden in China's cities. Days before the festival, many cities around the country had witnessed serious traffic jams.Last Friday evening, 140 traffic jams occurred in Beijing due to the heavy rainfall and holiday traffic before the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the city of Changsha, more than 1,000 kilometers from Beijing, the roads were reported to have turned into huge parking lots during the past two evenings."It took me half an hour to go downtown yesterday, three times the time it usually takes," said Cui in Shandong.Though the influence of the Car-Free campaign is limited, optimistic opinions about it were voiced."It is still helpful for increasing the public's sense of protecting the environment," said "lilili8565731" at Tieba.Baidu.com."I think the authorities should make more efforts to improve the public transit services with the residences' needs in mind, instead of putting on a show once a year on Car-Free Day," wrote "niuniuniuniu" at Tieba.baidu.com.Car-Free Day was originated in France in 1998 when citizens in 35 French cities decided to stop driving cars on Sept. 22 of each year. Since then, people around the world have begun to celebrate environmentally friendly transportation every year.

BEIJING, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- The value of yuan, China's currency Renminbi, hit new high against U.S. dollar Monday as the central parity rate of the yuan was set at 6.6732 per U.S. dollar, according to the data released by the China Foreign Exchange Trading System.Monday's central parity rate beat the previous record of 6.6830 on Oct. 8.The yuan has picked up its strength against the U.S. dollars and seen increased volatility in the trading days since the People's Bank of China (PBOC), the central bank, announced on June 19 this year to increase exchange rate flexibility.Based on Monday's central parity, the Chinese currency has strengthened against the U.S. dollar by about 2.26 percent from the rate of 6.8275 per U.S. dollar that was set a day before the PBOC's pledge to increase flexibility.On China's foreign exchange spot market, the yuan can rise or fall 0.5 percent from the central parity rate during trading each day.China would continue reform of the formation mechanism of its currency exchange rate to improve its flexibility, but will do so in a gradual way, Zhou Xiaochuan, Governor of the People's Bank of China, China's central bank, said in Washington on Sunday.

BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's week-long National Day holiday took in 280 million yuan (42 million U.S. dollars) in film box office receipts, up 12 percent over last year, said sources in the cinema industry.Half of all ticket sales were for "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame," a film that debuted on Sept. 29, starring renowned Hong Kong actor Andy Lau and actress Carina Lau, along with mainland actress Li Bingbing.Director John Woo's new film, "Reign of Assassins," had sales of 30 million yuan during the golden week, which critics say was "ordinary" in box office performance but a "good film." Woo is known internationally for his 2000 film "Mission: Impossible II."The Leonardo DiCaprio film "Inception" continues its climb and took in 50 million between Oct. 1 and 7, making it the fourth foreign film ever to take in more than 400 million yuan in the Chinese mainland's box office. The other three were "Avatar," "2012" and "Transformers."Liu Hui, deputy general manager of Beijing-based UME Huaxing Cinema, is very pleased that "theatres are always packed with audiences during the golden week."

BEIJING, Oct.12 (Xinhua) - Auto sales in China continued to expand last month, raising the forecast for annual sales to a record 17 million units this year, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said here Tuesday.Sales of automobiles rose 16.89 percent in September from a year earlier and 24.69 percent from August to 1.56 million units, while auto production was up 16.94 percent year on year to 1.59 million units, said CAAM.In the first nine months of this year, auto production reached 13.08 million units, up 36.1 percent from a year ago.A total of 13.14 million units of domestically-made auto vehicles were sold in China in the same period, up 35.97 percent year on year.Sales for the Jan.-Sept.period are quite close to the total number of vehicles sold last year, when China overtook the United States to become the world' s largest auto maker and auto market with production and sales hitting 13.79 million and 13.64 million units respectively.China' s annual production and sales of new autos are likely to surpass 17 million units this year, CAAM predicted, matching the highest annual level ever reached in the United States.Although the expansion in the sector has brought in an industrial boom and played an important role in China' s domestic demand, it has also triggered widespread concerns over the country' s energy capacity, pollution levels and rising traffic pressures.For general citizens and city planners in China, the increasing number of traffic jams is the most obvious problem in enjoying a life behind the wheel.In Beijing, the rising number of private cars, along with heavy rainfall and a spurt in holiday travel, caused a record 140 traffic jams in a single Friday evening last month. In some parts of the city that day, people spent nearly two hours on what would normally have been a 15-minute ride.Earlier this month, figures from the Ministry of Public Security revealed that the number of automobiles on China' s roads had hit 85 million, while a total of 144 million Chinese had learnt to drive vehicles.Statistics from the Beijing Transportation Research Center (BTRC) revealed that the number of registered cars in Beijing had topped 4.5 million in September, and would possibly exceed 7 million by 2015.However, the city's road system will be over-burdened by then, as its full capacity is estimated to be 6.7 million vehicles, said Guo Jifu, director of the BTRC.In addition, experts and officials have warned that the burgeoning number of vehicles could pose threats to the country' s energy reserves, as China is still highly dependent on oil imports.China's oil dependency reached alarming levels last year with imports accounting for more than 50 percent of consumption. However, that figure rose to 55 percent by the end of August this year.Xu Changming, an official with the State Information Center, said the auto market's growth should be maintained at around 1.5 times the growth in the country's gross domestic product (GDP).This means China's auto sector growth should rise less than 13.5 percent, since GDP expanded by 9.1percent in the past year.But according to Edward Prescott, the Nobel Economics prize winner in 2004, China' s vehicle production and sales may both range as high as 40 million units by 2020, and reach 75 million in 2030.Chinese officials had also warned that an unchecked expansion of China's auto industry encouraged by local authorities could harm the wider economy, and that excess capacity must be "resolutely" stopped.Chen Bin, head of industrial coordination at the National Development and Reform Commission, the nation' s economic planning body, said last month at a forum in Tianjin that local governments had been making "blind" efforts to open new factories and expand capacity, which could hamper sustainable development of the national economy.In Beijing, auto emissions were responsible for 50 percent of the city' s gaseous pollutants in 2009, he added.He said local authorities should avoid setting unrealistic output quotas for auto makers, and should end preferential land and tax policies for them.He said the government should also strengthen supervision of industrial efficiency data to guide reasonable resource allocation.China's auto industry is not only facing the tough task of boosting domestic consumption, but is also responsible for maintaining sustainable and coordinated economic and social development, Chen said.

BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- China has decided to postpone a negotiation with Japan on the East China Sea issue as part of its response to the seizure of a Chinese fishing boat, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu Friday night.The postponed talks, the second governmental negotiations on the principle common understandings on the East China Sea issue, had been scheduled for mid September, according to Jiang.A Japanese court on Friday, despite Chinese protests, ruled a 10-day detention through Sept.19 against the captain of a Chinese trawler which collided with Japanese patrol ships off the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea on Tuesday.The Chinese trawler under detention stops at the harbor of Ishigaki, Okinawa, Japan, Sept. 9, 2010. Japan Coast Guard sent the captain of the Chinese trawler which collided with Japanese patrol ships in waters off Diaoyu Islands to prosecutors in Okinawa Prefecture Thursday morning."The Japanese side has ignored China's repeated solemn representations and firm opposition, and obstinately decided to put the Chinese captain under the so-called judiciary procedures. China expresses strong discontent and grave protest," Jiang said."The Diaoyu islands and its adjacent islets have been Chinese territory since ancient times. Japan's acts have violated the law of nations and basic international common sense, and are ridiculous, illegal and invalid," Jiang said."Japan will reap as it has sown, if it continues to act recklessly," Jiang warned.Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on Friday summoned Japanese Ambassador to China Uichiro Niwa, saying China's determination to defend its sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and the interests of the Chinese people was unswerving.Yang said China demanded Japan immediately and unconditionally release the boat and all the crew, including the captain.On Tuesday, two Japan Coast Guard patrol ships and the Chinese fishing boat collided in waters off the Diaoyu Islands.No injuries were reported, but the fishing boat was then intercepted by the Japanese patrol.
