DHARAMSHALA, January 18: Tibetans in the eastern Tibetan
region of Serthar, Kardze carried
out fresh protests calling for Tibet’s
independence on Monday.
According to a report by AP, “dozens of Tibetans,

CECC pointed out that China’s heavy-handed reaction

As a result, many people have never grown up intellectually even though they are adults. Some people still deny that the unprecedented great famine of the early 1960s ever occurred, and insist that the millions of deaths by starvation is a fabrication … There is almost no hope for the sons of ordinary citizens to move up. There is no possibility of them ever becoming an Obama or a Steve Jobs.”
Rife with business opportunities, Shanghai Disneyland is already attracting Chinese companies to invest in its vicinity years before it opens to public, the Shanghai Securities News reported Thursday.
More than 10 Chinese companies have already sealed or are about to ink investment contracts with the Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone (SITRZ), a tourism complex centered around the Disney resort, the report said.
Most of the companies are state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the service sector, including Datang Telecom, China Mobile, the Nam Kwong Group, Franshion Properties under Sinochem Group, China Telecom, and Huadian New Energy Development Company under China Huadian Corporation, the paper said.
Other SOEs, such as the China National Travel Service (HK) Group, China CYTS Tours Holding Company, CITS Investment and Development Company, Shanghai Gold Company under China National Gold Group, and PetroChina's Shanghai sales arm, have also been in talks with the SITRZ regarding possible cooperation, the report said.
Construction on a 24.5-billion-yuan ($3.85 billion) Disney resort in Shanghai's southeastern Pudong New Area kicked off in April, and the park is scheduled to open in 2016.
Covering an area of 1.16 square km, the theme park inside the 3.9-sq-km Shanghai Disney resort will be the world's sixth Disney amusement park and the first one on the Chinese mainland.
According to another report produced by the municipal Development and Reform Commission, the project is expected to provide a boost to more than 100 sectors in Shanghai, including tourism, commerce and trade and the logistics industry.
The report estimated that the park will bring in 18 billion yuan in annual revenues for the city's tourism sector, as well as 6 billion yuan for the commerce and trade sector.
@SauIan Are you saying all the major American media including CNN, the LA Times, The NY Times, The Boston Globe, ABC, NBC and CBS...etc were "hired" by the PRC to cover the 84 year old woman and the pregnant women who were beatan by the White police officers because they were simply exercising their First Amandment rights on American soil? If so, tell us how much did PRC to spend to "hire" CNN. Don't be a chicken, say it and we will tell CNN's Legal Department about your comment, I dare you.
Thanks to a photograph taken by a British couple, who were at the Square, and were later published by The Daily Telegraph and BBC, the Chinese man’s sacrifice didn’t get rubbished as another rumour.
The Chinese cabinet determined Wednesday a national nature reserve for headwaters of three major rivers in China, setting a target of vegetation coverage growth at 30 percent in a decade.
The government hopes the average vegetation coverage increase in the nature reserve of 15 to 20 percent more in 2015, and of 25 to 30 percent more in 2020.
The government also encourages individuals, non-government organizations and social groups to support and get involved in environmental and ecological protection in the area.
@SauIan See, now White scam artists like you are using my name.
You feel proud of yourselves--"Maybe I'll get a promotion, or some small extra bit of praise, for mentioning the real Sheila Shigley's name because 45 year old woman are easy to prey."
That's the difference between you and me, the real Sheila Shigley is 45 years old and you are only 35. Please ask your supervisor for the right memo.
@SauIan Sorry Sheila Shigley impersonator, the World Bank just released a report on China's economic growth today and everything is opposite than what you are saying. I guess your supervisor did not show you the right memo? BTW, the Work Bank's report gives China's Central Bank high marks for its economic growth, so if you want to pretend to be an economic expert, why don't you write a report instead of being a Wu Mao online? Maybe you could win the Noble Prize....nope I don't think so!
@SauIan Why are the White invaders copying a failed capitalist system and making it WORSE?? Just look at how bad the economy is in America. Vice President Joel Biden went to China several month ago to borrow $200 billion from the CCP "because the US government cannot survival without the $200 billion by the end of 2011," said Joel Biden. If Amercia's system was that good, why does the US need to borrow money from the CCP? Saulan, your 50 cents are from the CCP, just a reminder. :-)
@SauIan "Who will be believed?" Of course the Chinese because only White invaders like you would kill your own people by committing ethic cleansing. According to the United Nations, 99.99% of the Native Americans have been killed by White invaders who are occupying their land, and the rest are locked up in death camps by the American government on death row.
You "boycott your country?" How? Moving out from America? Lol! I dare you! Please come up with a better joke WU MAO!
@SauIan White invaders use a typical terrorist/extortionist approach: threaten the real Sheila Shigley's family.
Just imagine how this same "government" treats Native Americans, who don't have the benefit of the level of protection Chinese have.
White invader @Saulan talks on and on about how terrible Chinese are; yet she coddle Chinese, compared to how they treat Native Americans. @Saulan wouldn't dare to touch a Chinese, yet bitch is killing Native Americans like no tomorrow.
Expressing his “deep sadness” over the tragedy caused by the recent tsunami, His Holiness, while giving hope to the Japanese people said that he would be visiting the affected areas to “share the painful experience” of the victims.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that her country "is committed to the success of China" because it is also good for the United States.
The top US diplomat voiced the commitment in a congratulatory message to the Chinese public ahead of China's National Day on October 1.
"On behalf of President (Barack) Obama and the people of the United States, I congratulate the people of China as you celebrate your National Day this October 1," she said.
From Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to the United States in January to the successful third round of the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in May, "the US has shown a deep commitment to this important relationship," she added.
"Together, our two countries are seizing this moment in history and developing the positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship envisioned by our presidents," Clinton said.
"The United States is committed to the success of China, because a thriving China is good for America and a thriving America is good for China," she said.
She praised both the Chinese and Americans "for their hard work and ingenuity," adding that the two sides can find solutions to the most pressing global challenges through working together.
Clinton issued the message one week after Washington announced arms sales to the Chinese island of Taiwan despite Beijing's strong opposition.
Attending a reception on Wednesday at the Chinese embassy in Washington, US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns also struck a reconciliatory tone in his speech, saying that the United States welcomes the rise of a strong, prosperous and successful China that plays a bigger role in world affairs.
He also stressed that cooperation between the two countries would surely benefit both nations as well as the whole world, despite their differences on certain issues.
In another development, the US State Department announced Thursday that Kurt Campbell, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, will visit China on October 11 to hold the second round of the US-China Consultations on the Asia-Pacific with Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai.
The first round of the consultations, an outcome of the third US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in May, was held in June in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The consultations "reflect the shared commitment expressed in the joint statements of our leaders to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship," the department said in a statement.
Campbell will also visit Japan, South Korea, Brunei and Thailand and stop in Hong Kong during the October 5-11 Asian trip.
as the cause of all major human problems including the global economic crisis and the earth’s deteriorating ecology, the Dalai Lama called for a more holistic and far-sighted approach.
@SauIan thinks she can intimidate me into silence by impersonating my identity--thus implying a not-so-subtle threat against my family because I voice my freedom of speech against @Saulan for occupying the Native Americans' homeland.
What a shameful way for @Saulan to shame her fellow White invaders.
In the end, will any Native Americans respect White invaders who are killing them everyday?
The interviews were smuggled out of Tibet at great risk and have been made into a remarkable film, Leaving Fear Behind, which has been seen screened in more than 30 countries and which was secretly shown to journalists on the eve of the Beijing Olympics last year.
Dhondup Wangchen is a Tibetan film-maker who was arrested in March 2008. He had just completed filming an extensive series of interviews with ordinary Tibetans who had bravely voiced to camera their true feelings on the upcoming Beijing Olympics and the Chinese occupation of Tibet.
White invaders are so afraid of democracy that they arrested 800 people from Occupy Wall Street because the protestors are exposing the American government's corruption
Chinese readers eager to learn about the life of Steve Jobs, the enigmatic founder of Apple Inc, have lined up outside bookstores and gone online to order copies of his biography since it was released globally on Monday.
The Chinese version of the book, titled Steve Jobs, hit 30 bookstores in 21 Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, at 10:05 am Monday morning as a way to commemorate Jobs, who died on Oct 5, according to a statement from China CITIC Press, the publisher of the biography's simplified Chinese edition.
Liang Hui, an engineer from Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province, said he bought the authorized biography, sold for 68 yuan ($10.60), as a way of paying his respects to Jobs.
"I have been a fan of Jobs because of his bold creative spirit since my childhood," he said. "I hope the book will inspire me a lot in my job."
Major e-retailers, including Dangdang and Joyo Amazon, the Chinese subsidiary of US online retailer Amazon.com have started to deliver pre-ordered copies to customers.
The biography, written by Walter Isaacson, a former executive at CNN and the US magazine Time, topped Joyo Amazon's best-seller list on Monday. The book was originally scheduled for release next year but the date was moved up because of the death of Jobs, whose gadgets such as the iPhone and iPod have become a part of many people's lives.
The biography like Jobs' products has been well-received in China.
The Guangzhou Book Center sold 240 copies of the English version on the first day.
Despite the rainy and chilly weather in Shanghai, Jobs' fans woke up early on Monday morning to queue outside Jifeng Bookstore and Shanghai Book City's two branches.
In the queue at Shanghai Book City's store on Fuzhou Road, some senior citizens said they planned to buy two or three copies as gifts for family members.
Xu Zhiming, president of Kuaishubao, a Beijing-based online book retailer, said his company has sold about 8,000 copies by 6 pm on Monday 3,000 to individuals and an order of 5,000 to a group-buying website.
Kong Yan, the publisher's director of brand marketing, said more than 1,000 copies of Steve Jobs had been sold at a launch ceremony at the Beijing Books Building.
"A teenager queued up from 5 o'clock this morning and two graduate students said they skipped classes for the biography," she said.
Buyers of the 560-page Chinese version said the biography satisfied their curiosity about Jobs, who was known for carefully guarding his privacy.
Gao Li, a 30-year-old photographer who lives in Beijing, said she had read media reports about Jobs and wanted to learn more about a person who "lived a life he wanted to the most".
China and the United States should take a global view and strategic, long-term perspective when framing the bilateral relations, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Zhang Yesui said here on Sunday.
Making an opening speech to the 2011 China-U.S. Relations Conference held at Texas A&M University, Zhang described China-U.S. relations as "one of the most important and dynamic relationships in the world. "
The relationship has four distinctive features, said Zhang, noting that "the economic interests of the two countries have been closely interconnected. "
Last year, bilateral trade between the two countries reached 385 billion U.S. dollars.
The U.S. continues to be the No.1 source of foreign direct investment for China and China has become the biggest foreign creditor for the U.S..
Meanwhile, dialogue and consultation at various levels have increased and improved, said Zhang, citing frequent high level visits and exchanges between the two countries and the establishment of over 60 dialogue and consultation mechanism covering a wide range of areas.
Other distinctive features of the China-U.S. relations include the extensive and growing social interactions between the two and the two countries' continued and effective communication and cooperation on many important regional and global issues, according to Zhang.
"The fundamental reason and driving force lie in the expanding common interests between the two countries and shared responsibilities in ensuring sustainable development and dealing with emerging global challenges," Zhang said.
The exile base of the Kirti Monastery in Dharamshala, in a release yesterday, confirmed the arrest of two more monks from the monastery saying that the reason f or the arrests was “unclear”
During the day, US Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner paid a visit to the Samdupling Tibetan Settlement camp in Jawlakhel, Kathmandu where he met with local community leaders. He also interacted with local Tibetans about the problems they faced and assured them he would raise concerns about the rights of Tibetan refugees.
Encouraging the Chinese government to “address the region’s underlying grievances”, the rights group urged for an immediate end to heavy-handed security measures imposed on lay communities and monasteries which include “brutal security raids, arbitrary detentions of monks, i ncreased surveillance within monasteries, and a permanent police presence inside monasteries to monitor religious activities”.
Rights group finds Chinese security measures at fault for self immolations Phayul[Thursday, October 13, 2011 19:55] DHARAMSHALA, A “dramatic increase in security expenditure” by the Chinese government in the Ngaba area of eastern Tibet has contributed to the ongoing “local discontent and unrest” says Human Rights Watch
The national image of China, the world's second-largest economy, has improved in recent years thanks to its strong economic growth and the 2008 Olympic Games, according to a latest report on nation brands.
The 2011 Anholt-GfK Roper Nation Brands Index (NBI), released Wednesday, measures the global image of 50 countries, the only annual analytical ranking of the world's nation brands since 2008.
The 2011 NBI survey was conducted in July among citizens in 20 major countries, including 11 developing countries. The survey results are based on the ratings of 50 nations by 20,337 respondents on questions in six categories: exports, governance, culture, people, tourism and immigration/investment.
Despite a series of economic problems, the United States remains the most admired country in the world for the third consecutive year with the best overall reputation, according to the report.
The top 10 on the list are all developed countries: the US is followed by Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Canada, Italy, Australia, Switzerland and Sweden.
"The strengths of America's international standing continue to be innovation, opportunities and vibrancy," said Simon Anholt, NBI founder and an independent adviser. "While the country still does not make the top 10 list for the way it governs domestically and behaves globally, it has made significant improvements in the area of governance."
Xiaoyan Zhao, senior vice-president at GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communication, said the same countries have dominated the top 10 list over the years with slight ranking changes because they have consistent reputations and a well-balanced image.
Zhao said the rapid economic development and the Beijing Olympic Games have helped change public perception of China since 2008.
"The Games showed the world the modern side of the country, vibrant cities, stunning architecture and the welcoming people, all of those contributed to the positive image of the country," she said.
The Chinese government has been paying attention to national brand building in recent years with investments in hosting international events such as the Olympics and the World Expo.
Zhao said China needs to examine how each country ranks and try to find its own strengths and weaknesses.
"Different countries look for different things from China. Sometimes the 'global campaign' may not work," she said.
CNN is reporting that The Dalai Lama has been rushed to the hospital after suffering from a heart attack and the doctors are saying he may not survive. Sorry for telling Gavin about this. :-)
The 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Australia is right around the corner on Dec. 21, so People's Daily Online sat down with Frances Adamson, Australia’s first female ambassador to China, for an exclusive interview about what is next for the two countries.
When Adamson, who speaks fluent Mandarin, was asked why she decided to learn Chinese, she said her interest in the language started while she was working at the Australian Consulate-General in Hong Kong 26 years ago.
At that time, she came to realize that China will be an important country in the future. Although people speak Cantonese in Hong Kong, she decided to learn Mandarin to better communicate with Chinese officials and ordinary Chinese people
She noted, "There is nothing more rewarding for me than to have a conversation in China with Chinese people about how I see their lives, the world— the things that are interesting.”
She admitted it is very difficult to speak Chinese well, and that is why she is taking lessons twice a week.
Adamson said there have been amazing changes in Beijing since she first visited the city in 1997. She sees a nation of highly talented people working extremely hard to study, work, create, and to drive the nation forward.
Sees opportunities for Sino-Australian cooperation every day
Since 1972, Australia has established a very constructive and mature trading relationship with China. China is Australia's largest trading partner, and Australia is China's second largest trading partner. She mentioned that Australian exports of iron ore contributed to literally "building modern China."
She also noticed nowadays China is very concerned about food safety, and Australia is there to provide fresh, green food. Meanwhile, the Chinese people's interest in wine is growing and Australian wine exports are increasing strongly as well.
Besides, Australia provides high-quality language learning courses and university education to Chinese students. Recently, Australia announced permission for Chinese graduates of Australia universities to work there for one to three years. Ms. Adamson believes this will play an important role in building this bilateral relationship in the future.
In addition, some universities in both countries have established good working relationships with each other. This will be the focus of future work in the Australian embassy in China.
In recent years, the Chinese market for foreign vacations has grown, and Adamson said that Australia has many beautiful places to offer.
She noticed more and more Chinese people are traveling there to experience the Australian firsthand rather than just watching it through the window.
Adamson thinks Australia has a lot to offer China that will complement its development and growth. Her focus is on enhancing the bilateral relationship for the future, for the benefit of Chinese and Australian people.
It "makes clear that only a change in China's policies can put an end to the cycle of desperation that has compelled these Tibetans to sacrifice so much," said the group's president, Mary Beth Marke
"The Chinese government is clearly using politics to control the entire process of transmission and reincarnation," Xia said. "This is a very painful conflict, and it's a very fundamental one."
On July, 28th, Tibet's Regional TV & Telephone Economy Briefing was held in Lhasa, reporting that Tibet's first half year saw a major economy leap forward, news with the local newspaper. The briefing released the economic data from January to June, saying that the GDP of Tibet Autonomous Region increased by 16.5 percent than previous year, to 2.5084 billion yuan.
According to the briefing the per capita income of Tibetan's farmers and herders in the first half is 1546 yuan, up by 15.2 percent. It has become a common phenomenon for Tibetan people to go to other provinces of the country for work.
Also, one of Tibet's pillar industry-tourism marks progress as well. About 2.24 million tourists have come to Tibet in the first six months, 24.8 percent higher than the precious year.
This year is the first year of the 12th Five-Year Plan, and also the 60th anniversary of Tibet's peaceful liberation and 90th birthday of the Chinese Communist Party. All the favorable conditions urge local authorities to give more impetus to the construction of projects, raise fix assets investment and boost customer consumption.
The 'think tank' of Tibet suggests that the government pays close attention to major economic index, facilitat Lhasa-Shigatse railway construction, continue fiscal support to economy, stabilize the CPI index, provide sufficient human resource backup to economy, advocate private capital injecting to market and strive to increase people's income.
The weekend protest and the self-immolation Monday heightened tensions which looked set to continue in Tibetan regions of China as the ruling Chinese Communist Party marked its 62nd anniversary in power.
Similar incidents may have taken place in other monasteries in other regions of Tibet, he said.

She noted, "There is nothing more rewarding for me than to have a conversation in China with Chinese people about how I see their lives, the world— the things that are interesting.”
