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.

BEIJING, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Indian Foreign Minister Somanahalli Mallaiah Krishna said here Tuesday that a strong and stable relationship between India and China has an impact on the entire world."As India and China manage their domestic priorities well, it has huge implications for global prosperity," Krishna made the remarks in his speech entitled "India and China in the 21st Century" at the China Institute of International Studies.The two countries "are raising the living standard of almost one-third of humanity," he said.In the past two decades, India and China have impacted significantly on global per-capita income, longevity and human development, said Krishna, there is much that can be gained through close cooperation.Facing challenges of urbanization, resource consumption, food and energy security, China and India can exchange best practices to benefit each other, the foreign minister said.He said "considerable scope" exists for joint projects in a huge infrastructure demand in India, covering sectors like power, roads, rail and telecommunication. On the Chinese side, the outsourcing of IT by state enterprises has only started recently. There is a potential waiting to be tapped, which would happen only by connecting Chinese users to Indian providers.As a reshaping of the global architecture is underway, evident in new groupings like the G20, BRIC, BASIC and the East Asia Summit, Krishna said as developing societies, India-China convergence is manifest on issues like climate change and global trade rules."We have to accept that there will be outstanding issues between the two countries even as our relationship forges ahead. The true test of our maturity is how well we handle our problems," said Krishna.A number of dialogues and forums already exist between India and China where both sides discuss bilateral, regional and global political issues, including boundary question, trade matters and water management."Regular meetings lead to better communication, more understanding and confidence," said Krishna, encouraging an "intensive and sustained engagement" between the two systems.As to media speculation that India and China have a "competitive" relationship, Krishna said it is up to the two countries to disprove such scenarios by "concrete examples of cooperation".As this year celebrates the 60th anniversary of China-India diplomatic ties, Krishna told a reception later Tuesday that his country would take the opportunity to renew cooperation, engagement and understanding between the two peoples.

GOTHENBURG, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping arrived in Gothenburg, the second largest city of Sweden, kicking off his four-day official visit to this Nordic country on Saturday.In a written speech delivered at the airport upon arrival, Xi said that there is a long history of friendly exchange between the peoples of China and Sweden although the two countries are geographically distant from each other.Since the two countries established diplomatic relations 60 years ago, the bilateral relationship has always been moving forward in spite of the tremendous changes in international situation, the Chinese vice president said. Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping is welcomed by representatives from local Chinese community as he arrives at the airport in Gothenburg, Sweden, on March 27, 2010. Particularly in recent years, mutual trust between China and Sweden has been enhanced, economic and trade cooperation has been fruitful and exchanges in every field have been getting closer as each day goes, Xi said.The two countries have also engaged in close contact and coordination on international forum, he said.Xi said that he anticipates to exchange views with Swedish leaders on future development of Sino-Swedish relations and issues of common concern and to discuss with Swedish people from all walks of life on further strengthening the traditional ties between the two countries, promoting mutually beneficial cooperation and joining hands to meet global challenges.Sweden is the last leg of Xi's current four-nation tour, which has already taken him to Russia, Belarus and Finland

BEIJING, June 1 (Xinhua) -- China has promising growth prospects and should not be blamed for world imbalances, says Danny Quah, a renowned British economist."Emergency financing that was placed in the Chinese economy to counter the downturn from the 2008 global financial crisis was the right thing...The imbalances is a global problem, not a China problem," said Quah, a professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science.China did the right thing in infusing its economy with fiscal stimulus, Quah said in a recent interview with Xinhua.He also declined to describe the ballooning real estate prices as a bubble, pointing out "the strong fundamentals" of China's economy.He said the expansion of China's housing construction will be proved useful eventually, given the fact that "China is still engaging in the task of moving hundreds of millions of people from rural areas to urban China to continue to power its manufacturing and industrial progress.""So I would not describe it as a collapse of real estate bubble, we can look forward to a rationalization of housing and real estate prices," Quah said. "The improvement and expansion of housing stock will play an important role in continuing to move the Chinese economy forward.""I think Chinese fundamentals will continue to be strong. And a little bit of high inflation, as long as it doesn't break out into some kind of runaway high inflation, is probably no bad thing," he said. "We will get it under control again as the Chinese government did previously."On allegations that China deliberately keeps its currency RMB weak to obtain unfair advantages in trade with countries like the United States, Quah said people who draw such a false conclusion are misguided."The United States is running a trade deficit not just against China. It is running a trade deficit against almost 100 other countries," he said. "China is not unique in how it is exporting more to the United States than it's importing."The U.S. government was beginning to run a large trade deficit long before China's trade surpluses started grow, he added."If you take the ratio of China's bilateral trade surplus against the U.S. as a fraction of the U.S.' overall bilateral trade deficit against all of the countries, it has remained constant over the last 15, 20 years," Quah said.
