SMS used to defraud bank customers

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-22 14:16:54

Chinanews, July 21 - A new style of fraud, using mobile phone SMS
messages to pretend to be bank reconciliation, to cheat people out of
their bank deposits, has surfaced in Zhejiang province and appears to be
spreading outward rapidly. The Public Security Agency of Zhejiang
Province has issued an urgent warning to remind people to raise their
wariness and prevent this type of crime from happening.
"Dear Customer, you have spent XXX Yuan on X month X date in Shanghai's
Trust-Mart, please confirm this amount with the ICBC bank. If there is
any error please call 021-51023052." If you receive such an SMS message
on your mobile phone, please do not believe its authenticity. Recently, a
38-year old Miss Li of Xinqiao Town, Wenzhou received such a message.
Confused, she immediately called the phone number in the SMS message to
explain that she did not make that expenditure in Shanghai and the other
party on the phone immediately gave her two fake phone numbers for the
Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau and the China Unionpay
Administration Bureau and told the victim that her account has been
targeted by a criminal enterprise and requested that she immediately
transfer the money in her account to a safe account. This way, Miss Li's
530,000 Yuan (65,300 USD) vanished.
Similar types of crimes have happened quite a few times. Police said that
this type of fraud was quite new but very harmful to society and could
spread to many other places. Police reminded people to raise their
wariness to prevent such types of crimes from happening.

Taiwan's forex reserves ranks world No3

www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-21 14:36:43

Chinanews, July 20 - Statistics released by Taiwan's Directorate General
of Budget Accounting and Statistics on July 19th indicate that judging
from statistics of foreign exchange reserves excluding gold, at the end
of this June, Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves were 253.615 billion
USD, making the region rank No. 3 in the globe after Japan and Mainland
China. Its foreign exchange reserves can back up 17.3 months of imports,
ranking next to Japan in the world.
According to Taiwan's Central News Agency, based on information from
"International Financial Statistics" by the International Monetary Fund
and from the Central Bank, the Directorate General of Budget Accounting
and Statistics gave a statistical report which reads that in the past
decade, Germany's foreign exchange reserves excluding gold decreased 28.6
billion USD, Italy's declined 5.9 billion USD, while forex reserves of
all other major countries saw uptrend.
At the end of 2004, foreign exchange reserves of Japan were 833.9 billion
USD, topping other countries in the world, growing sharply by 708 billion
USD compared with the amount of 125.9 billion USD at the end of 1994,
with the growth rate ranking first in the globe. Mainland China's foreign
exchange reserves accumulated rapidly due to continued surplus of foreign
trade and influx of foreign investment, reaching 614.5 billion USD at end
of 2004, ranking No. 2 in the world.

          ��Forex reserves growing, RMB rate stable (2005-07-15)
          ��China's forex reserves likely to rank first (2005-07-15)

Elks in Jiangsu Dafeng Elk National Nature Reserve are drinking from the
ditch on July 1, 2005. Since Mar. this year, the Reserve only recorded
60mm precipitation. About 1000 poplars died of the drought, and the
plants recover slowly, causing inadequate food and water for the elks. If
the dry weather continues, it will threaten the lives of 819 elks. It is
estimated to take 5 million yuan to establish electrical irrigation
stations and build canals.

Chinese govt moves to cool economic growth

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-28 08:45:07

(Source: Xinhua)

BEIJING, Apr.28 - China's economic watchdog is moving to slow economic
growth after recording a rise in fixed assets investment of almost 30
percent in the first quarter.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has urgedlocal
governments to tighten controls on land use and lending to prevent
investment rising too rapidly.
National Bureau of Statistics figures show investment in roads,factory
equipment and other fixed assets grew 27.7 percent, an increase of 4.9
percentage points year on year.
Investment in urban areas climbed 29.8 percent to 1.16 trillionyuan,
while that in rural areas came to 230 billion yuan, up 18.1 percent.
The government has launching the "socialist new countryside" campaign to
boost rural development, which was left behind in the reform and
opening-up drive of the past two decades.
However, more than half of China's provinces recorded alarming growth
rates or more than 35 percent in investment, and 16 manufacturing
industries reported more than 40 percent.
Fan Jianping, an expert with the State Information Center, saidlocal
governments had planned too many projects this year, the start of the new
11th five-year blueprint, risking overheating thenational economy.
Zhang Liqun, a research fellow with the Development Research Center of
the State Council, said the soaring investment was tied into recent
elections of local officials, who encouraged investment to demonstrate
their political performance.
The State Council had outlined a decision, made at an executivemeeting
chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao this month, to avert an overheating economy
by tightening controls on fixed asset investment and money supply.
The high rate of investment in some regions and industries had resulted
over-production in many sectors, he said.
Steel, aluminum, calcium carbide, cement, coal, automobiles and textiles
are among the main over-producing industries.
The NDRC said domestic demand for cement in 2005 was less than 1.05
billion tons, while production capacity was 1.3 billion tons, of which
about 60 percent was low-grade.
The NDRC was in the process of publishing policies to halt
over-production in key industries, said a spokesman.
The Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS) on Monday issued are port
predicting gross domestic product (GDP) is to grow by 9.6 percent this
year, while fixed assets investment will exceed 10 trillion yuan,
accounting for 52.7 percent of GDP.
Experts with the CASS said the government should adjust the policy to
encourage domestic consumption, so as to ease the burden of
over-investment.

Qinghai-Tibet Railway to start trial operation soon

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-24 16:09:04

Chinanews, Apr. 24 - The Golmud-Lhasa section of the Qinghai-Tibet
Railway will be put into trial operation on July 1 and both domestic and
foreign tourists can travel to Tibet by train. On Apr. 20, a travel
agency in Beijing has taken the lead to launch routes of visiting Tibet
by train. A ten-day tour package is estimated to cost 3,980 yuan (US$500)
and over 80 tourists have registered for the tour by now.
It was reported that related departments have basically reserved all
seats on the train for the debut trip on July 1 and tickets for travel
agencies will be sold after July 2. Individual tourists will have little
chance to get tickets for the trip on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway several
days before the railway officially begins operation.
It was learned that the special trains to Lhasa are superior to ordinary
trains in facility. The carriages are totally enclosed and furnished with
hard sleepers and soft sleepers and also free oxygen supply systems for
tourists. When the train slowly goes toward the plateau, such facilities
can help tourists adapt their physical conditions to the plateau
environment and also enable the elderly to travel to Tibet by train.
The Golmud-Lhasa section includes nine sight-seeing stops including those
located in Mt. Yuzhu, Tuotuo River and Tanggula. These stops are all
equipped with a sight-seeing platform 500 meters in length and 1.25
meters in height, tourists can overlook scenes and take photos on the
platforms.
An insider from the travel agency revealed that only 1,000 tourists will
be admitted to the Potala Palace each day. However, during the high
tourist season, 5,000 tourists travel to Tibet by air or by coach. Once
the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is open to traffic, Tibet will welcome 10,000
tourists daily, of whom only one tenth can enter the Potala Palace. It is
learned that the local government may promulgate a new measure soon to
alleviate the pressure from large tourist volumes.
A single trip from Beijing to Tibet extends over 4000 kilometers and
takes 48 hours by train.

authorities. The Ministry of Information Industry, the Supreme People's
Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and 15 key regions involved in
special IPR protection campaigns participated in the exhibition.

RMB rises to record high against USD

www.chinanews.cn 2006-03-18 13:53:17

(Source: Xinhuanet)

BEIJING, Mar.18 - China's currency strengthened on Friday to its highest
level against the U.S. dollar since its July 21 revaluation on heightened
market forces, a weakened dollar and technical rebounds.
The China Foreign Exchange Trade System announced the daily benchmark, or
the central parity rate for the dollar was 8.0286 yuan, falling for the
first time below 8.03 yuan.
The Chinese currency, also known as renminbi or RMB, has gained nearly 1
percent against the dollar following a 2 percent revaluation, with the
biggest daily increase charted on Wednesday.
The People's Bank of China (PBoC), or the country's central bank, early
this year began a new policy of calculating the yuan's value against the
U.S. dollar using a weighted average of the prices given by major banks.
The highest and lowest offers are excluded from the calculation.
Giving banks a role in setting the daily exchange rate is seen as a sign
that the central bank is willing to allow market forces a greater role in
daily trading, analysts acknowledge.
In an interview with Xinhua, finance analyst Tan Yaling with Bank of
China agreed the yuan's recent rises show the market is a more important
decider for its value.
She echoed the claim by Premier Wen Jiabao at a press conference at the
annual session of China's top legislature earlier this week that
"Renminbi boasts the room and capacity for floating up or down by itself
in line with current mechanism and market changes."
Tan said the yuan rise reflects the market confidence in China's robust
economic prospects and long-run investment yields, citing the country's
ample foreign exchange reserves, stable trade growth and increased market
transparency.
It is also brought by the dollar's weakening against other major world
currencies on lower-than-expected economic figures provided by the U.S.
government and a rebound after unexpected declines earlier this week, she
said.
The U.S. pressure on China's currency issue built up as China's trade
surplus with the United States hit a new high in 2005. Statistics
provided by China and the United States differ significantly. China said
the total trade surplus with other countries came to 100 billion U.S.
dollars last year amid increasing trade disputes.
Foreign exchange reserves surged to 818.9 billion dollars by the end of
last year - second only to Japan - largely as a result of skewed trade
and foreign exchange management.
U.S. senators Charles Schumer, Lindsey Graham and Tom Coburn, who are
leading an effort to force trade and currency "concessions" from China,
will be reportedly in China next week to discuss growing concerns in the
U.S. Congress about Chinese trade practices, currency policy and
intellectual property rights.
The visit comes as the Senate nears a March 31 deadline for a vote on a
bill written by Schumer and Graham that would impose a high tariff on
Chinese goods to counter what they call artificial currency exchange
rates that benefit Chinese manufacturers at the expense of American
producers.
"We thought it was the right time to figure out where the Chinese are
headed on this issue and other issues, like intellectual property and
port security," Schumer said.
The PBoC, however, reiterated in its annual monetary report released at
the end of February that the yuan will remain "basically stable" at a
reasonable, balanced level this year.
The "independent, controllable, progressive" way whereby China reforms
its currency system will continue, while priority will be placed on
promoting balanced international payments, it said.
The bank emphasizes a floating yuan is not simply one that will
appreciate, but the prevailing view among industry watchers is that the
yuan will strengthen gradually in 2006.
Tan said she believed the U.S. dollar would be traded at around eight
yuan this year, and in the first six months gains would outweigh losses
for the yuan.

Mar. 7 - Traveling along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway - the highest in the
world - will be more costly than any other railroad in China, according
to a State Development and Reform Commission report.
The study of the provisional fares levied on the service along the
Golmud-Lhasa section of the railway revealed that prices for soft seats,
hard sleepers and soft berths will be 0.09 yuan, 0.1 yuan and 0.16 yuan
more expensive in terms of person/per kilometer than the state's regular
pricing standards. Hard seat prices will be the same.
The fare for cargo transport is 0.12 yuan more expensive in terms of
ton/per kilometer than the standard rate.
The provisional pricing for cargo and passenger transport on the plateau
railway will be fixed and finalized after it is approved by the State
Council, the country's highest government body, sources from the
commission said.
The 1,956-km-long Qinghai-Tibet rail route, linking the capital city of
Xining in northwest Qinghai Province to Lhasa, capital of Tibet
Autonomous Region, across the 5,000-meter-high mountain ranges, was
completed in mid-October last year. It is taken as a national success for
making the seemingly impossible possible.
The railway will promote cultural and economic exchanges between the
landlocked Tibet and the outside world and will enhance the region's
self-development capacity.
Cargo transport service on the plateau railroad began on a trial basis on
March 1. It will also carry out a test run without passengers in May. A
full-route trial operation of the railway will start on July 1.

Paris fashion: Castelbajac's British icons

www.chinanews.cn 2006-03-01 16:20:29

A model presents a creation for Jean-Charles de Castelbajac 27 February
2006 during the Autumn-Winter 2006-07 ready-to-wear collections in Paris.

PARIS - Britain -- its icons, culture and even its passport -- inspired
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's bright and witty catwalk comeback.
From iconic Brits -- Shakespeare, Robin Hood, Queen Victoria, Princess
Diana, George Best and Kate Moss -- to the multi-coloured Union flag and
Buckingham Palace busbies, de Castelbajac chose 'Cool Britannia', of past
and present, for the French house's return after a four-season absence.
'Dedicated to The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things of
Today', he made witty references to British culture for a punchy, sporty
collection with a strong dash of humour.
The pacey show, set to upbeat music by a live band, was full of red,
white and blue, but also yellow and green, black and white.
His cropped shirts came in silver or pinstripe, while he added epaulets
with thick red fringing, yellow 'smiley' buttons or black patent bone
motifs.
Coats enveloped the body for winter warmth and bright ski gear was ready
for heading straight out on to the slopes, complete with skis.
A red crochet-effect Empire skirt and top had a cutsey yellow ribbon tied
at the back, but was perhaps not the kind of outfit most of us would wear
to walk the dog in, as the model was doing down the catwalk.

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister to visit Iran

www.chinanews.cn 2006-02-24 08:59:03

(Source: Xinhuanet)

BEIJING, Feb. 23 - Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Lu Guozeng will pay a
working visit to Iran for political consultations from Feb. 24 to 26,
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao announced here Thursday.
The two sides are expected to exchange views on bilateral relations, Iran
nuclear standoff and other issues of common concern.
During the visit, he said, the two sides will discuss how to ease the
crisis under the current circumstances and what measures to take to avoid
intensification of the issue so as to finally resolve the issue through
negotiations and dialogues.
The Chinese side hopes that the parties concerned would keep restraint
and patience, and create conditions for the resumption of talks given
that there is still room for solving the issue within the framework of
the International Atomic Energy Agency, the spokesman said.
Iran is an important country in the region, Liu said, both sides will
also have an exchange of views on regional and international issues of
common concern during the visit.
Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said on Wednesday at a press
conference together with visiting German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter
Steinmeier that "the days before the March 6 meeting of the IAEA are
crucial."
Li said China hopes Iran's nuclear issue would be properly solved through
diplomatic means.

China may eradicate poverty by 2050

www.chinanews.cn 2006-02-09 09:23:32

(Source: Xinhuanet)

BEIJING, Feb. 9 - In 2050, 1.3 billion Chinese will live in a moderately
developed society, with a minimum monthly income of 1,300 U.S. dollars,
an average life-expectancy of more than 80 years and social services
available to all, according to a new report.
The blueprint was drawn up by a research team with the Chinese Academy of
Sciences. Using statistics provided by national institutes and world
organizations, the report said that by then, no one in China will live
with an annual income of less than 668 yuan (81 U.S. dollars) per capita,
the country's absolute poverty line.
He Chuanqi, head of the research team who compiled the report, told
Xinhua that to attain this goal, China should follow two stages of social
transformation. It should first turn into a city-based industrialized
society from the present agricultural one, and then step into a
knowledge-oriented society with rural and urban areas developing at the
same rate.
By 2050, 80 percent of the urbanization work in China will have been
completed, the researcher said.
He added that the social transformation will also bring great changes to
peoples' life-styles, as 80 percent of the population would have access
to information industry services, 50 percent could afford overseas travel
and 50 percent would own private cars.
However, he was keen to point out that the current situation is still not
that optimistic. The economic index of China in 2001 equaled that of the
United States 100 years ago. China is lagging far behind developed
countries in terms of urbanization, life-expectancy and adult literacy.
He also noted that the social transformation will change peoples'
opinions and life-styles, thus evoking controversy and provoking social
problems.
"Chinese society is now undergoing the first stage of its transformation
towards an industrialized society," He said, adding the economic
modernization in China has been faster than the social modernization over
the past 50 years.
