BEIJING, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese emergency chartered flights are expected to fly back home almost all the more than 3,000 mainland tourists stuck in riot-hit Thailand by Dec. 1. Four Chinese mainland carriers have sent nine planes to retrieve the tourists after Bangkok's international airport closed because of a protest.     Some 2,000 tourists had returned back home by noon, and another more than 800 would fly back late Sunday night or early Monday morning, according to the airlines. A China Eastern Airbus-300 arrives at the Utapao Airport near Pattaya, about 150 km east of Bangkok, capital of Thailand, Nov. 29, 2008. Chinese aviation authorities were sending 5 planes on Saturday to Thailand to bring home the remaining stranded Chinese tourists after the closure of the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok    China Southern Airlines, the nation's largest carrier by fleet size, said late Sunday night it will sent another plane to take back the remaining tourists on Monday.     Around 246 passengers landed in Shanghai at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday. This was the first return flight from Thailand, though delayed for several hours because of unstable situation at the airport.

BEIJING, Jan.24 (Xinhua) -- China's top economic planner said Saturday it would raise the minimum state purchasing prices for rice in major rice-producing areas by as much as 16.9 percent this year.     The move was aimed at protecting farmers' interests, keeping grain prices stable and boosting grain output as grain growers had experienced higher costs since last year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).     The state purchasing prices for japonica rice will rise 15.9 percent to 1900 yuan (280 U.S. dollars) per ton this year, according to the NDRC.     In addition, prices for early and late indica rice will be 16.9percent and 16.5 percent higher respectively to 1800 yuan and 1840yuan per ton.     It was the biggest increase in grain purchasing prices since 2004, said Ding Jie, an official with the NDRC's price department.     In 2004, China started the practice of buying grains from farmers at a state-set minimum price when market prices drop below the protective price level in order to encourage grain production.     Saturday's announcement came before Chinese farmers kick off the spring planting season, as the government tried to prevent the grain growers' enthusiasm from being eroded by higher costs of fertilizers and other production materials.     Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture show December fertilizer prices, except urea, rose more than 20 percent from a year earlier. Diesel for farm use was 5.8 percent higher year-on-year.     The NDRC already hiked the minimum purchasing price for wheat by as much as 15.3 percent starting this year. It raised the purchasing prices for wheat and rice twice last year.     With a population of more than 1.3 billion, China relies mainly on domestic production for food and targets grain output of more than 540 million tons by 2020.     China's grain output rose 5.4 percent year-on-year to a record 528.5 million tons in 2008, official data show.     State-owned enterprises purchased 170 million tons of grains from farmers in 2008, said Nie Zhenbang, director of the State Administration of Grain, earlier this month.     That move, together with higher purchasing prices, resulted in a revenue increase of more than 50 billion yuan (7.4 billion U.S. dollars) for the whole country's farmers, said Nie.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- China and the European Union (EU) on Friday agreed to strengthen practical cooperation in jointly addressing the current global financial crisis.     The agreement came after talks between visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who arrived here on Thursday for a visit to the EU headquarters, and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.     Wen told Barroso that China, in its foreign relations, lays a strategic emphasis on developing the comprehensive strategic partnership with the EU, and promoting cooperation to jointly tide over the current difficulties should be a key task for both sides under current circumstances.     To this end, both sides need to trust and respect each other, treat each other equally and aim for mutual benefit, Wen said. In particular, China and the EU should address each other's major concerns and try to stave off disputes, he added.     Barroso said the EU and China have seen close, deep and fruitful relations, and, as two major forces in the world, many global issues cannot be solved without EU-China cooperation.     The EU is ready to promote dialogue and cooperation with China to elevate the comprehensive strategic partnership to a higher level, he said.     To jointly tackle the global financial crisis, China and the EU agreed to expand information exchanges between financial institutions, the central banks and financial supervisory and regulatory bodies.     Both sides pledged to promote trade and investment. China will continue to steadily expand market access and increase import from the EU, while the EU recognized China's achievement in promoting market economy.     Both sides agreed to support cooperation between small- and medium-sized businesses and to deepen cooperation in technological innovation in such areas as energy conservation, greenhouse gas emission reduction and health care.     China and the EU vowed to work together in mitigating and adapting to climate change, agreeing to boost cooperation in developing new energies, new energy conservation technology and a low-carbon economy.     The two sides also reached consensus on close coordination in macroeconomic policies and opposition to trade protectionism.     China and the EU on Friday signed cooperation agreements on aviation, work safety, clean energy and intellectual property rights protection.

 BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Major Chinese lenders are expanding a preferential policy on house loan interests to cut the burden of the country's home buyers hit by the spreading financial crisis.     For individuals who bought houses on mortgage lending before Oct. 27, 2008 and have not paid off the loans, their credit interest rates could be reduced to 70 percent of the benchmark rate from the previous 85 percent, customer service staff of several banks told Xinhua on Sunday.     The discount will be available for Beijing, Shanghai and Qingdao clients of the China Construction Bank after their applications go through default record checks.     The Bank of China branch in Shanghai is also providing the preference but the Beijing branch keeps the rate unchanged.     The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the country's largest lender, and the Agricultural Bank of China are also making specific rules for similar rate discounts.     China's central bank announced in October it would reduce the lower limit of interest rates on individual house loans to 70 percent of the benchmark credit rate from 85 percent, starting from Oct. 27 last year.     The move was viewed as a stimulus to the flagging property market but it has been unclear whether house mortgage deals before that date can enjoy the favor.     Under the rate discount, home buyers with a 500,000-yuan (73,500 U.S. dollars) bank loan to be paid off within 20 years can save nearly 60,000 yuan of interest, analysts estimate.

LIBREVILLE, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Chinese top legislator Wu Bangguo held talks here on Friday with President of Gabonese National Assembly Guy Nzouba Ndama, saying that the National People's Congress (NPC) of China is ready to step up cooperation with the parliament of Gabon to add new vigor into bilateral relations and jointly push forward friendly relations between the two countries.     Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the NPC, China's top legislature, called Gabon a true friend of China, saying that China is satisfied with the growth momentum of the bilateral relations and the two countries have seen healthy and stable development of friendly and cooperative relations since they established diplomatic ties 34 years ago.     Wu said that the two sides have achieved remarkable results in cooperation between governments, parliaments and various political parties in fields such as economy and trade, culture and education as well as public health. Speaker of Gabon's Senate Rene Radembino Coniquet (R) shakes hands with Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress, the country's top legislature, during their meeting in Libreville, capital of Gabon, Nov. 7, 2008.    "We have established our close consultation and cooperation on international affairs, and more importantly, we have made breakthroughs on working together on some big-scale projects," Wu said.     "It's the treasure to both sides and China will make joint efforts with Gabon to step up cooperation in all dimensions," he added.     Wu said that the NPC represents the will of Chinese people and shoulders very important responsibility to promote the friendship between Chinese and Gabonese.     He called on the two countries' parliaments to boost their exchange and cooperation, especially between the parliamentary ad hoc committees and various friendship groups.     Echoing Wu's views on the bilateral relations and inter-parliamentary cooperation, Ndama said that the frequent mutual visits between the two countries' leaders have pushed forward the bilateral ties into a new stage of development, which he said already brought substantial benefits to the Gabonese people.     He suggested that the two nations should work closer to expand their cooperation on culture, education, aviation and tourism, reiterating that Gabon would continue to adhere to the one-China policy and support China's peaceful reunification.     Ndama also said that the relations between the two parliaments have showcased the Gabon-China friendly ties and the Gabonese National Assembly hoped to maintain the frequent exchanges to expand mutual understanding and consolidate substantial cooperation in various fields.     The Chinese top legislator also met with Rene Radembino Coniquet, speaker of the Gabonese Senate, on the same day. The two sides voiced commitment to boost the bilateral relations and enhance their cooperation to a higher level.     "The facts have already proved that the growth of the China-Gabon relations not only benefits the two countries and their people, but also helps to promote the peace and development of the world," Wu told Coniquet.     Wu arrived here on Thursday afternoon for a two-day official visit to Gabon. He will fly to Ethiopia on Saturday to continue his five-African nations tour, which also includes Algeria, Madagascar and Seychelles.
