BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government has decided to cut the number of local government liaison offices in Beijing and strengthen supervision to cut cost and root up corruption, a senior official from the Government Offices Administration of the State Council said Thursday.Counties, local government departments, and development zones were ordered to close liaison offices in the capital within six months, the unnamed official quoted a circular issued by the State Council's General Office on Jan. 19 as saying.As of 2006, Beijing has 50 liaison offices representing China's provinces and special economic zones, 295 representing major cities, 146 representing local government departments and 436 representing counties, figures from the administration showed.Liaison offices of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and special economic zones could retain their offices in Beijing, while established city-level liaison offices could be kept only after being approved by provincial governments, according to the circular.The official warned local government to guard against loss of state assets when liaison offices were closed saying the assets should be dealt with according to relevant regulations.Liaison offices usually have assets that include apartments, guest houses and hotels, and restaurants.The circular also clarified major functions of retained liaison offices, which should offer "high-quality, frugal and efficient" service for the economic and social development of their localities.The liaison offices should shoulder tasks entrusted by their localities' Communist Party of China (CPC) committees and government, as well as by the central Party and government organs, the official said.They should also cooperate with the Beijing municipal government in maintaining the capital's stability, offer service for institutions and people from their localities, and help to administer and provide training and service for migrant CPC members from their localities who came to work in Beijing, the official said.To enhance supervision and fight corruption, local government should conduct audit on its liaison office each year, and the Government Offices Administration is empowered to conduct spot-check on local government's audit results when necessary, according to the circular.The official said members of the retained liaison offices should be strict with themselves, shun from extravagant receptions and strictly control expenses.The official said "local government liaison offices s played positive role in coordinating work among regions, handling some emergency incidents, and maintaining the capital's stability."However, lax supervision, a swelling number, shoddy quality, vague definition of their functions were problems plaguing these offices, the official said.Some local government liaison officials were even implicated in serious corruption cases and resulted in serious negative social impact, he said.The measures outlined in the circular could "enhance the building of a clean government, building up a good image of the CPC and the government, cutting administrative cost and expenses, and pushing forward the transformation of the liaison offices' functions," the official said.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping said here on Monday that Russia is a vital market for the "going global" strategy of Chinese enterprises, and expressed hope that mutually-beneficial economic cooperation could help consolidate bilateral ties and strategic partnership."Chinese enterprises should step up efforts to go global ... and Russia is a vital market for the implementation of our 'going global' strategy," said Xi while inspecting a Sino-Russian joint project, the Baltic Pearl, in Russia's northern metropolis St. Petersburg.With a total investment of over 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, the large commercial, real estate and tourism project involved several leading enterprises from east China's Shanghai Municipality, the St. Petersburg municipal government and the Export-Import Bank of China. It was launched in 2006. Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (C) visits the Baltic Pearl project, invested by enterprises from Shanghai of China in St. Petersburg, Russia, March 22, 2010. The Baltic Pearl is one of the "exemplary projects" for Chinese investment in Russia, and has received strong support from local and central governments in both countries, Xi noted."I hope you show dedication and innovation in the implementation of the Baltic Pearl project, so as to blaze a new trail for more Chinese enterprises to come and invest in Russia," Xi told representatives of Chinese businesses involved in the project on the site.The vice president said that it is the Chinese government's unswerving policy to encourage more domestic enterprises to go overseas for investment and cooperation, by means of production capacity transfer, mergers and acquisitions, joint resources development, and project contracting.Chinese enterprises should contribute to China's economic restructuring and transformation of growth patterns through the " going global" strategy, which means a better use of both domestic and overseas markets and resources, he said.On the current China-Russia relations, Xi said they are mature, stable and sound, with political mutual trust between the two sides reaching an unprecedented high level."In safeguarding the Sino-Russian relations, a key issue is to adhere to mutually-beneficial and win-win cooperation and consolidate the economic foundation of such relations," he stressed, adding that it's of particular importance to balance " take" and "give," and give full consideration to the interests of the Russian side in any cooperative projects.He urged Chinese developers of the Baltic Pearl project to further strengthen communication and consultation with St. Petersburg authorities, and establish a sound public image for themselves and the Chinese nation as a whole.He expressed the belief that the Baltic Pearl, as wished by Chinese President Hu Jintao during an earlier inspection tour of the project, would end up as "a first-grade project, a strategic platform and a prototype of cooperation."Xi, who arrived in Russia on Saturday, is on a four-nation European tour which will also take him to Belarus, Finland and Sweden.   Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (C) visits the Baltic Pearl project, invested by enterprises from Shanghai of China in St. Petersburg, Russia, March 22, 2010.

LONDON, March 14 (Xinhua) -- China's efforts of switching economic growth pattern would help to make an overall more stable world economy, said John Hawksworth, head of macroeconomics of PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC), one of the world's four largest accounting firms.He told Xinhua in a recent interview that this would also ultimately be good for China in the long term. There will be a reduction in the global trade imbalances in the long run with China's efforts of shifting economic growth pattern.China's adjustment important for world economyHawksworth said that China plays its part in making these adjustments, which is important for the long-term stability of the world economy. That is because China is a very important player, the world's biggest economy after the United State.Meanwhile, he emphasized that other economies should also make adjustments and play their parts for the world economy.He said that the United States need to control its high level of government borrowing. The same applies to European countries with high levels of borrowing."So all the main economies need to adjust and China is an very important element in the overall adjustment process," said Hawksworth.He was optimistic about the prospects for China in the efforts of shifting its economic growth pattern."It will remain a very strong growing economy and I'm optimistic that it will meet challenges and will continue to increase its relative importance in the world economy over the next 10 or 20 years," he said.Long-term process for China to shift economic growth patternWith regards to the main reasons for China to shift its economic growth pattern, Hawksworth said that in the long run China wants to promote consumer spending as a big driver of growth.China has been quite reliant on exports and investment in the past, he said. "Ultimately as China becomes a bigger part of the world economy, it can't continue to grow exports as fast as before. Also opportunities for more and more investment will be increasing. ""In the long run, you'll be better if more of China's growth would be dependent on consumer spending," he said.However, he said that China can not suddenly switch to consumer spending. "It has to be a long-term process and would also depend on other types of policies."For example, he said providing better healthcare provision at the moment is quite important because Chinese households are concerned about their future health care and therefore don't like to spend money.He also said that it might be encouraged by gradual move towards an increase in the Chinese exchange rate which would tend to reduce the price of imports and therefore boost consumption and boost the household spending power."It is a combination of policies which can't be done overnight, there has to be a long-term process over 10 years or more to gradually take effect," said Hawksworth.Short- and long-term challenges for ChinaAt the same time, Hawksworth said China is facing some short- and long-term challenges in the process of shifting its economic growth pattern.As for the short-term challenges, he said that China has obviously put a lot of emphasis on government spending and investment to stimulate the economy during the global financial crisis."Although that has been quite successful, it may also have led to some dangers of an overheating with increases in property prices and asset prices," he warned.He said that is a short-term problem which really requires a gradual tightening of monetary policy. Some restrictions on bank lending are also needed to avoid this asset price bubble getting out of control.In his view, the long-term challenge is about moving towards an economy that is more driven by household spending."This is partly about encouraging households to feel more confident about the future, about providing better healthcare from the state or better pensions to the households," he said.

BEIJING, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- China's National People's Congress (NPC), the top legislature, on Saturday voiced strong protest against Washington's plan to sell a package of arms worth about 6.4 billion U.S. dollars to Taiwan, urging the U.S. side to immediately withdraw the wrong decision.The U.S. government announced the plan "in disregard of the strong opposition and repeated representations from the Chinese side," said a leading official of the NPC Foreign Affairs Committee."We are firmly opposed to that (the plan), and has lodged severe representations to the U.S. side," the official said.Such a move is gravely against the three joint communiques between China and the United States, especially the "Aug. 17" communique, in which the United States promised not to seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, and intended to gradually reduce arms sales to the island.The plan endangers China's national security and efforts for peaceful reunification. It also harms Sino-U.S. relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. "The Chinese people are strongly indignant about it," the official said.The arms package would include 114 Patriot (PAC-3) anti-missile systems, 60 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters, 12 Harpoon Block II Telemetry missiles, 2 Osprey Class mine hunting ships and a command and control enhancement system, according to a Pentagon website.
