ADDIS ABABA, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) - The Chinese government attaches great importance to cooperation with Africa in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) sector, Chinese Envoy and Deputy Foreign Minister Zhai Jun said in a recent interview with Xinhua.The Chinese department in charge of information and communication will strengthen communication and cooperation with their African counterparts and establish consultation mechanisms, Zhai said.Meanwhile, the Chinese government will support capable enterprises to open business in Africa, in a bid to make contribution to African countries' economic development and promote modernization of communication in the continent, he said.The cooperation between China and Africa in the ICTs sector has played an active role in advancing Africa's overall communication level, promoting the continent's economic development, and bridging the "digital gap" between Africa and the rest of the world, the Chinese envoy said.Thanks to the efforts made in the past 10 years, communication facilities produced by Chinese enterprises have gained certain market share in Africa, and Chinese brands have won their renown in the African market, Zhai said.Products and services by Chinese communication facility enterprises such as ZTE and Huawei have covered 50 African countries, providing communication services for more than 300 million people, Zhai said.Meanwhile, more than 40 3G networks have been established in over 30 African countries with regional offices of Chinese communication facility enterprises scattering in 48 African countries while regional research and development centers and personnel training centers have also been established in the continent, he noted.Moreover, ICTs cooperation between the two sides have also helped generate employment, promote technology transfer and improve people's livelihood in Africa, said the minister.In Africa, Chinese enterprises pay special attention to employing local employees, who now account for over 60 percent of the total number of staff, Zhai said, adding that Chinese enterprises train more than 20,000 technical personnel for Africa every year.Chinese enterprises also do their best to make local procurement, Zhai said, noting that Huawei alone has made a 480- million-U.S. dollar procurement in African in 2008.At the same time, Chinese enterprises actively carry out social responsibilities in Africa by funding schools, hospitals and wildlife conservation, which are applauded extensively by African governments and people, according to him.Zhai arrived in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa Wednesday to attend as an observer the 14th African Union (AU) summit scheduled from Sunday to Tuesday.Under the theme "Information and Communication Technologies in Africa: Challenges and Prospects for Development," leaders from AU member states will assess the achievement made in Africa in the ICTs sector, while discussing opportunities, challenges and prospects of the sector's development.During the summit, participants are also expected to exchange views on issues including regional integration, climate change, Africa's stance on UN reforms and regional conflicts, among others.

BEIJING, March 18 (Xinhua) -- China's government is set to order some central state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to quit real estate business as their land acquisitions are blamed for fuelling rise of urban housing prices, spokesman of the state assets watchdog Du Yuanquan said Thursday.The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) would require 78 centrally-administered SOEs, whose major business was not property development, to withdraw from the business, Du said in a SASAC press conference Thursday in Beijing.The SASAC gave no specific timetable for the withdrawal, but Du said it would require the 78 enterprises to step up business restructuring and gradually pull out of property development after all current real estate projects were finished.Housing prices in China's 70 large and medium-sized cities grew 10.7 percent in February from a year earlier, and were up 0.9 percent compared to the previous month, according to official figures.However, a total of 16 central SOEs, who have property development as major business, such as the China National Real Estate Development Group Corp. and the China Poly Group Corp., would continue in real estate, said Du.

GENEVA, March 17 (Xinhua) -- China respected the universality of human rights and believed all human rights were "universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated," He Yafei, China's new ambassador to the UN Office in Geneva, said on Wednesday."The principle of universality has been included in the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments," He told Xinhua in an interview."China has ratified more than 20 international human rights instruments, including seven of the eight core human rights instruments. This demonstrates clearly China's affirmation of the universality of human rights," said the ambassador, who was China's vice foreign minister before taking his new position in Geneva earlier this month.While acknowledging the universality of human rights, He also stressed that countries might have different understandings about human rights and different ways and means of promoting and protecting human rights because of the "diversity of culture, history, religion and the difference of social systems and development levels.""The Vienna Declaration and Program of Action (VDPA) adopted by the World Conference on Human Rights in 1993 has confirmed that the significance of national and regional particularities and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds must be borne in mind when promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms by states," he said.According to the Chinese ambassador, the UN Human Rights Council, which is based in Geneva and comprises 47 member states, is an agency aimed at promoting and protecting human rights through dialogue and cooperation.Nearly four years after its creation, the Council "has basically accomplished its work and is on the right track," he said.He noted the Council had been able to review all the items on the agenda and provided timely responses to the substantive human rights issues.In addition, the Council had reviewed human rights situations in 112 UN member states, including China, through its Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism, which was a "worth mentioning" result.He admitted the Council was not a "perfect" agency and still suffered from problems such as double standards and politicization.The functioning of the Council needed to be reviewed so that its work could be improved and better aligned to the letters and spirit of the UN resolutions, he said.However, the ambassador expressed opposition to any attempts to "rebuild" the agency or to "renegotiate what has been agreed upon.""It is not the time to reform it or rebuild it when it is only four years old... What we should do at the present stage is to find the gaps and fill them in a pragmatic and forward-looking way," he said.The Human Rights Council replaced the former widely discredited and highly politicized UN Human Rights Commission, created in 1946.One of the Council's major duties is to conduct a Universal Periodic Review of all 192 UN member states to scrutinize their human rights records at home, regardless of their size, wealth, military or political importance.Besides its three regular meetings each year, the Council can also hold special sessions to discuss crisis situations.While the Council's Universal Periodic Review mechanism has been widely praised, some nongovernmental organizations still criticize the agency for not working effectively to tackle human rights problems around the world.A review of the Council's working methods is expected to take place in 2011, in accordance with a UN General Assembly resolution.In the interview, He also highlighted China's increasing contribution to the United Nations and its deeper integration into the international system."From the start of this year, China becomes the 8th largest contributor to the UN regular budget, just following the seven industrialized countries," He said.He added China was by far the largest troop-contributing country among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. Currently more than 2,100 Chinese soldiers are participating in some 10 UN peacekeeping missions.The ambassador stressed China would never shirk from international roles, and that it would continue to meet its global obligations.

Fischer arrived here Tuesday noon for a four-day state visit to China.Fischer echoed Hu's views, saying China had become an important cooperation partner of Austria.Fischer said Austria was satisfied with ties with China, as bilateral trade increased steadily last year despite the international financial crisis.China-Austria trade hit 4.33 billion U.S. dollars from January to November in 2009, according to China's Customs.This was Fischer's first state visit to China since he took office in July 2004.Fischer's entourage included more than 60 officials in health, defense, sports, business, commerce, banking, among others, and around 120 business executives.Fischer expressed condolences over the death of eight Chinese peacekeeping police officers in a 7.3-magnitude earthquake in Haiti last week. Their bodies were returned to Beijing Tuesday.Hu called the eight peacekeepers "excellent children of Chinese nation and loyal guards of world peace," and said Chinese people felt grieved about their suffering.Though China and Haiti have not established diplomatic relations, China dispatched an international rescue team to the Caribbean nation and offered emergency reliefs and funds, Hu said."China would work with the international community to support Haiti's relief efforts and post-quake reconstruction," Hu said.Hu appreciated the Austrian government's adherence to the one-China policy and commitment to developing positive ties with China.Looking to the future, Hu proposed both leadership maintain close contacts, governments and legislatures expand communication in a bid to deepen political trust.On the economic front, Hu said both countries should make use of their own advantages and expand cooperation. He encouraged both sides to explore new ways of collaboration and foster new areas of growth."Both sides should increase the contacts between business councils so as to boost the cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises."He called for joint efforts to stand against trade and investment protectionism and provide a legal guarantee for expanded mutual investment.In response, Fischer said Austria welcomed the visit of Chinese business promotion delegation. He also encouraged both countries to step up aviation cooperation.Hu proposed both countries work more closely in culture, education, tourism, think tank and media, promoting dialogues between different cultures."As next year will mark the 40th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties, China would like to work with Austria to prepare celebrations," Hu said.Hu also pledged to cooperate more with Austria on international and regional issues.Fischer said Austria would like to play a positive role in promoting ties between Europe and China.At the end of talks, the two presidents witnessed the signing of five deals in public health, quality quarantine, science and technology, personnel training and Chinese teaching.

STOCKHOLM, March 22 (Xinhua) -- China has made huge contributions in realizing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in access to safe drinking water, said Joakim Harlin, Senior Water Resources Advisor at the United Nations Development Program based in Stockholm on Monday."According to a joint monitoring report issued by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund last week, 89 percent of the population of 1.3 billion has access to drinking-water from improved sources, up from 67 percent in 1990, This is a huge contribution to MDG," Harlin said in an interview with Xinhua after a seminar on MDG to mark the World Water Day.Johan Kuylenstierna, Chief Technical Advisor for UN-Water, also commented on China's efforts in addressing the mounting water problems from access to safe drinking water to prevention of water pollution."China is an interesting country because you are facing so many problems, but you are also seriously addressing many of them," Kuylenstierna told Xinhua, adding that when a problem is clearly identified, you take action on trying to mitigate it and address it."China can learn a lot from other countries, but I think we can learn a lot from China too in dealing with various environmental problems," Kuylenstierna said.He also said statistics from 2009 showed that China is the biggest country in investing in renewable energy just in one year, and it has passed the United States."Water quality problem is a major global issue, access to clean water for achieving the MDG. If the water is not clean, it is not useful. This is a global problem. We release about two million tons of waste everyday into our waters," said he.2.2 million children die every year from drinking bad water. Five or six million people in total that is because of the poor quality of water. People die every year from diseases that could actually prevented, according to the UN's statistics.

BEIJING, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- China will put more investment, subsidies, fiscal and policy supports into rural areas this year so as to better coordinate urban and rural development, the central government said Sunday in its first policy document of the year."Working for coordinated development between urban and rural areas is the fundamental requirement of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way," said the document.The document, jointly issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council, or the Cabinet, promised to improve the livelihood of rural residents, which it said is one of the main tasks in China's efforts to adjust resident income distribution system.Expanding rural demand should be the key measure in boosting domestic demand, it said, while developing modern agriculture should be considered as a major task in transforming China's economic growth pattern.It called for more efforts to maintain grain production, increase of farmers' income and good development momentum in rural areas.IMPROVING POLICY, STRENGTHENING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO RURAL AREASThe document said that the central government would continue to improve the policy system to empower and benefit farmers. The government would also continue boosting financial input into agriculture and rural areas.The document stressed that budget expenditure should first support development of agriculture and rural areas, and fixed-asset investment first be channeled into agricultural-related infrastructure and projects in relation to rural livelihood.The Agricultural Development Bank is required to offer mid- and long-term policy-based loan services to rural infrastructure and projects related to agricultural development, which Chen Xiwen, director of the Office of the Central Rural Work Leading Group, believed as a breakthrough in China's rural financial service."It means a great amount of fund will be channeled into agricultural development, which could fill the long-time policy gaps concerning mid- and long-term policy-based loans", Chen told Xinhua in an exclusive interview Sunday.More subsidies should be channeled to increase the output of grain, potato, highland barley and peanut, as well as the purchase of agricultural machinery, the document said.The government would implement more policies for purchasing and stockpiling major agricultural products, including corn, soybean and oilseeds, to stabilize prices of major farm produce.More efforts will be made to strengthen financial services including micro-credit loans and insurance service in rural areas, according to the document.It promised that basic banking services would be available in all villages and towns in the next three years.It called for more efforts to develop township banks, loan-lending companies, and mutual funds in a bid to guide more capital flowing into the rural financial market.The central government also demanded further expansion of rural consumption market as part of the country's accelerating measures to boost consumption.MORE RESOURCES TO RURAL AREASIn a bid to narrow the development gap between the urban and rural areas, the document said the central government would roll out more favorable policies to encourage inputs from various social forces to rural areas.Enterprises which establish rural welfare foundations would enjoy tax breaks, with no more than 12 percent of their annual profits being deducted before calculation of enterprise income tax.Large and medium-sized cities, and various sectors should give an impetus to rural areas' development, providing one-to-one support and participating in industrial development and infrastructure construction in rural areas, according to the document.It also urged related departments to study favorable policies to guide more educational resources and scientific research institutions to tap into the country's vast rural regions.To ease the chronic financing shortage in the rural areas, the government required financial institutions, including the Agricultural Bank of China, Rural Credit Cooperative, and Postal Savings Bank of China, to further increase agriculture-related credit loans. The Agricultural Development Bank of China was ordered to expand the supporting fields in agriculture, and give more long-term credit support to the infrastructure construction in rural areas.URBANIZATIONMigrant workers can so far neither settle down in cities nor want to go back to the countryside, said Chen.According to Chen, 60 percent of the 150 million migrant workers were born in the 80s or 90s of last century who are referred as the "new generation of migrant workers" by the document and are not familiar with farming but dying to be part of the city life.The document listed new measures to integrate more farmers into urban life."Small and medium-sized cities and townships will be the focus of the country's urbanization plan," the document said.The country will ease the restrictions over permanent residence permits in county seats and townships so that more rural residents can move in and enjoy the same rights and public service as original urban residents, the document said.To attract more rural labors, the country will put more resources in economic growth at the county level, including preferential policies in land use, reform of government investment and taxation.The country will encourage city governments to allow migrant workers, who have stable jobs and live in the cities for a certain period of time, to join in urban housing programs.Migrant workers will also be included in the basic medical insurance and pension program in cities, the document said.RIGHTSThe government will work hard to solve the problems that harm farmers' interests, such as in land expropriation, pollution and management of village assets, the document said.An unblocked channel should be built to enable rural residents to express their requests and safeguard their rights and interests in a rational and legal way, it said.In addition, the document also pledged to promote village democracy. Efforts should be made to regulate the election procedure of village committees and heads, introduce democratic decision-making, and promote transparency in village asset management.

TAIPEI, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou said Monday that the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with the mainland is aimed to help Taiwanese people to do business and boost the island's competitiveness.Ma made the remarks in Taoyuan, a northwestern county of the island, at a gathering to mark the Chinese Spring Festival, or Lunar New Year.The ECFA is a wide-ranging economic pact for further normalizing trade and investment ties across the Taiwan Strait, which Ma hopes to sign with the mainland this year to help fuel Taiwan's economic revival.Tariff reduction would promote the sales of goods from Taiwan to the mainland, which will benefit both the Taiwanese businesses and the foreign-funded businesses in Taiwan, Ma said.This will help Taiwan to introduce more foreign investment and grant the island an opportunity to become a hub of economy and trade in the Asia-Pacific region, he said.As the mainland is Taiwan's biggest trade partner, the pact will certainly do more good than harm, Ma said.Ma also attended an ancestor worship ceremony in Majiazhuang, Miaoli County on Monday and said that the ancestors of him and local residents moved from Fufengtang, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, to the island some 2,000 years ago.He also spoke optimistically of the economy situation and expected an economic growth of 4 percent in Taiwan this year.
