URUMQI, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- A senior government official said Friday the situation in Urumqi, the capital city of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, was under control after local residents had taken to the streets over two days to protest against hypodermic syringe attacks.     There were no major protests in the city Friday, a day after massive protests that left five people dead Thursday, said Executive Deputy Mayor Zhang Hong.

He said the separatists' purpose was to undermine ethnic unity.

BEIJING, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Anti-terror forces that safeguarded the safe Beijing Olympics last year are in action again as China has stepped up security ahead of its 60th anniversary of founding on Oct. 1, an official said Friday, one year after the Games.     "A safe National Day is the key to the success of the anniversary," said Wang Anshun, deputy secretary of the Communist Party of China Beijing Municipal Committee.     "Beijing will adopt the security model to ensure the absolute safety of the celebrations," he said.     Experts said the forces of safeguarding the anniversary activities should be stronger than during the Games as terrorist groups are also better equipped.     Unlike the Olympic events mostly held in venues, the celebrations including parade inspections and fireworks evening parties, occur outdoors, which make it more difficult to prevent terrorist attacks, said Cai Changjun, professor with the Institute of Special Police of China.     The major threats come from East Turkestan terrorists, Tibetan separatist forces as well as Falun Gong forces, said Li Wei, director of the anti-terrorism research center at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations.     Police did not reveal how many officers would be deployed in the safety campaign.     The Snow Leopard Commando Unit (SLCU), a major anti-terrorism wing of the People's Armed Police, and the Blue Sword Commando Unit (BSCU) under the Beijing armed police, are ready for security operations during the celebrations, said a Beijing armed police official.     The two highly-classified special police squads, with more than 400 officers, were dubbed as the protector of the Olympics for their roles in counter-terrorism, riot control and other special tasks, such as stopping hijacking and bomb disposal.     SLCU and BSCU participated in an anti-terrorism drill in June as the latest national level exercise ahead of the National Day in northern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's capital Hohhot, as well as Shanxi and Hebei provinces that surround Beijing.     The exercise, codenamed "Great Wall-6", aimed to improve the police forces' abilities to deal with bombs containing radioactive contaminants, serial terrorist attacks and blasts in chemical factories.     The Beijing police also held an exercise dubbed "Forbidden City" which tested the ability to rescue hostages and handle blasts.     "The anti-terror schemes are well-knit. We've made specific plans for commanding, force deployment and actions during the Beijing Olympics. All these can be used in the National Day celebrations, Cai said.     More exercises are needed to test the emergency response capacity and smooth the coordination among various forces, he said.     Police will strengthen baggage checks in subway stations, an anti-terror measure which started during Games.     Like the system during the Olympics, emergency police centers can mobilize helicopters and satellites to prevent and handle potential terror attacks, Wang said.     The equipment to deal with chemical weapons, monitoring system of suspected vehicles and air detection equipment that were developed during the Olympics have been used in daily checks, he said.     The capital also has mobilized hundreds of thousands of security personnel, Communist Party officials and volunteers patrolling the city to ensure a terrorism-free anniversary.     Fu Xinling, a volunteer who patrolled streets in Wanshou Road Community in Haidian District during the Olympics, is ready to wear the red armband again.     "We will go back to our posts again in a month to provide clues and information to the police," she said. "We will never allow the terrorists to damage our celebrations."     They read handbooks on Olympics security, which is also helpful in the 60th anniversary, said Cai     Lianqi, a police officer in Wanshou Road Community. "The public is the backing of our security work."

KAMPALA, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Special Envoy on African Affairs Liu Guijin on Wednesday called for concerted efforts to be made especially by western countries toward an early ending of Darfur crisis in western Sudan through negotiations between warring parties.     "There is no military solution on the ground. The only possible solution to Darfur problem is the political process," Liu told reporters in a press briefing held here at the Chinese Embassy.     "We need a comprehensive approach to address the problem. To have embargoes or sanctions will not solve the problem," he said during a two-day visit here.     Liu said that China has been extensively involved in facilitating the peace process in Darfur by persuading the Sudanese government to show more flexibility, which has led to Sudan's acceptance of a hybrid peacekeeping mission in the region led by the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN).     He further urged his western colleagues, who seem to have more access to and influence on rebels, to spare no effort to bring them to the negotiation table.     "We appeal to our western partners to exert more influence to convince the rebels to agree and come to the negotiating table with the government of Sudan," he said.     The smooth implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA) and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) reached between northern and southern Sudan is the only means to achieve total and sustainable peace in the country, he noted.     The envoy said he fully supports the position taken by the AU and the Arab League on the arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al Bashir issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in March this year.     The warrant details charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during the conflict in Darfur.     The AU has decided not to cooperate with ICC before an independent investigation is done by former South African President Thabo Mbeki.     "We criticize such move and refuse to cooperate with it. The position of the Chinese government is in compliance with the AU and the Arab League position," Liu said, noting President Bashir has a significant role to play in the implementation of CPA and DPA.     "President Bahir has played a very key role in DPA and CPA. How can you implement them without the involvement of the Sudanese government? If you want peace to be realized in Sudan, the government is a must in this process," he said.     On the concern that the deteriorating relationship between Sudan and neighboring Chad could further impede the peace process in Darfur, Liu said China has been mediating between the two countries to normalize their bilateral relations.     In his recent visits to the two countries, he had tried to persuade the two sides that normalizing the bilateral relationship is for their mutual and shared interests, Liu said.
