Free Tibet, the UK based organisation campaigning for an end to the Chinese occupation of Tibet, while quoting sources from inside Tibet said

On Dec.12, 2011, Zhu Weiqun, Executive Vice Minister of the United Front Work Department of China's Communist Party Central Committee, had discussion sessions with researchers, professors, journalists and students of the European Union in Brussels.
Vice minister Zhu said more than 90 percent of its expenses come from some western countries according to materials released by the Dalai clique.
The EU: The reason why the Dalai Lama can be successful in Europe is that his language can be understood by Europeans. On the contrary, the words from the Chinese government seem not believable to you.
China needs to learn how to use the European language and methods to express their ideas; while as for the Europeans, we also need to abandon the prejudices with an open mind.
Zhu Weiqun: Your suggestion is very good, showing young people's perception towards the world affairs.
In my opinion, during the last decades after the Dalai Lama fled out of China in 1959, he devoted much of his time and energy to learning western ways of thinking and socializing with the help of his western teachers.
But in fact, there is one more fundamental reason-the political force behind the Dalai Lama.
Every year, he is supported by the annual financial allocation from some countries, charity funding and money collected through public meetings and mass prayers.
According to their own material released by the Dalai clique, more than 90 percent of its expenses come from some western countries.
The principle of determining a person first would see what contributions he or she has made. As for the Dalai Lama, what has he contributed to Tibet? Compared with the endeavor of the China government, what has he brought to the Tibetan people?
The best method to resolve differences is resorting to the facts when observing the same problem with different backgrounds and perceptions.
One who does not respect the fact may be successful at present, but in a long run, he will lose.
As I sit on the host position today, my remarks may seem too strong. It doesn't matter if you believe or not, but we welcome each one of you to Tibet and make your own judgments with your own eyes.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hong Lei on Friday summed up China's diplomatic achievements in 2011, and said China will adhere to the path of peaceful development.
Amid a complex and dynamic international situation in 2011, China boosted relations with all sides in a steady manner, Hong said at a daily press briefing, the last one for this year.
China properly handled major emergencies and sensitive questions, and managed to preserve stable, thriving and harmonious relationships with neighboring countries, Hong said.
China consolidated and enhanced its traditional friendships with developing countries and engaged in the reform of international systems in a pro-active manner, he noted.
China safeguarded the security and rights of Chinese nationals and juridical persons living abroad and carried out public and cultural diplomacy, took comprehensive preventive measures against external economic risks, and defended its national sovereignty, security and development interests, he said.
In 2012, the general situation of world economy will remain severe, Hong said, noting that many factors of instability and uncertainty -- whether as expected or out of expectation -- still exist.
"With big powers, we will enhance mutual trust, expand cooperation, properly handle differences and push for the steady development of bilateral relations," he said.
China will also promote relations with developing countries and strengthen unity and cooperation with them, he said.
China will play its role as a responsible major country on the international stage, join international efforts in coping with the financial crisis, and promote fiscal, financial, economic, trade and investment cooperation with other countries, Hong said.
"We will unswervingly adhere to the road of peaceful development, stick to the opening-up strategy of mutual benefit and win-win situations, preserve world peace and promote common development," he said.

Like it or not, Santa Claus is putting on a Chinese-style costume, reindeers are flying alongside rabbits and dragons from the Chinese zodiac, and red packets are replacing bells and candles, hanging on trees in shopping malls, restaurants, hotels and homes.
Christmas is coming to town, and Shanghai consumers, never ones to pass up the chance of a good time, are celebrating with Chinese characteristics and producers of Christmas decorations are only too pleased to oblige.
"They have come up with all kinds of ideas: Chinese red knots on the bells and the 12 animals from the Chinese zodiac," said Zhang Yiqian, the owner of Zhibo Christmas Arts and Crafts Factory in Yiwu in Zhejiang province, which is reputed as a global powerhouse of niche items.
While exports still account for some 80 percent of the items produced in Zhang's factory, the 27-year-old Yiwu native said he has seen a strong rise in domestic demand, which "should not be overlooked".
"Orders have doubled this year," said Zhang, who took over the business from his parents five years ago.
"Chinese buyers are more generous with budgets, unusually in terms of the festive tradition, and picky in style, while foreigners are more price-oriented."
According to Chen Jinlin, secretary-general of the Yiwu Christmas Products Industry Association, Christmas sales have been on the rise for a number of years. The increase has come since the 80's and 90's generations started to dominate the market.
Members of Chen's association produce nearly 80 percent of the festive items on sale in China.
Although the association's figures for Christmas sales revenue have yet to be published, Chen estimated that domestic sales are likely to account for 20 percent of the total, signaling growth of 50 percent year-on-year.
"Chinese bosses are usually more demanding when it comes to Christmas decorations," said a hotel marketing manager in Shanghai, who has been in the industry for more than 10 years and has worked in both Chinese and overseas companies.
"Christmas trappings are more a marketing tool for hotels, as well as restaurants, and retailers, so it's important to have something new and eye-catching every year," she said, adding that the budget for Christmas decorations at her work place has increased by 20 to 30 percent annually in recent years.
The Shanghai-based Jinghua Co has specialized in Christmas decorations since 1995. Its chief designer, Chen Chuixun, thinks that his Chinese clients, who account for half of his customer base, are more conservative.
"They stick to warm colors like red and gold, and seldom move out of their comfort zone to try something new and in vogue," said Chen.
He added that there's been a large influx of rival companies entering the booming market - especially in places with great growth potential, such as second- and third-tier cities - which has resulted in a smaller share for his company outside Shanghai and Beijing.

"It is a sad situation. 12 self immolations of which 6 have died shows how desperate people resort to desperate measures," said the Kalon Tripa addressing the current situation inside Tibet.
There are many misunderstandings about the use of China's foreign reserves, she said.
"Foreign reserves aren't domestic income or money that can be disposed of by the premier or finance minister," Fu said. "Foreign reserves are akin to savings, and their liquidity and safety should be ensured."
Since the outbreak of the European financial crisis, China has increased its imports from the continent, with trade volumes up 20 percent over last year, Fu said.
"China is not absent from international efforts to rescue Europe. It has been a positive and healthy participant," Fu said.
She also said that China's investment in Europe should be de-politicized, adding that China will not seek power and interests through financial means.
"Successful investment should be reciprocal. We hope our economic activities are not interpreted from a political prospective and are not imbued with political interests. We should follow market economy principles," said Fu.
She was disparaging of a trend arising from the global financial crisis in the Western community that politicized issues concerning China.
"We should treat each other with a moderate and impartial mentality. That will make bilateral relations easier to handle," Fu said.
Feng Zhongping, director of the Institute of European Studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said it is impossible for China to save Europe, but help from China is vital.
He said economic cooperation between the two sides should be in line with economic principles, so the priority of China's investment in Europe is to ensure the safety of its capital.
"Whether China should buy more European bonds depends on the evaluation of the future of those bonds," Feng said, "while China can invest more in infrastructure construction and property in Europe."
Feng said one of the reasons for politicizing bilateral cooperation is mistrust from Europe that China might take control of it as a debtor.
He Maochun, professor with the Institute of International Studies of Tsinghua University, said the potential of more cooperation between the two sides outweighs misunderstanding and conflicts, but mutual respect and recognition should be achieved.
"Different economies should respect each other and it's unfair that advanced economies require developing ones to apply the same standards," he added.
Fu added that the cooperation between China and Europe is mutually beneficial and their interests have been deeply intertwined, so China will continue to support Europe.
She said the right choice for Europe now is to accept and welcome the rise of newly industrialized countries and gain new motivation for growth from them.
Europe has become China's biggest trade partner and is also the most important source of technology and one of the major investors in China.
In return, China imports more than $100 billion annually from Europe and has created more than 1 million local jobs since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.

The Defense Ministry on Wednesday criticized Washington's decision to build a de facto military base in Australia, warning it could harm the interests of all sides concerned.
Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng made the remarks at the ministry's monthly news conference when asked about a plan unveiled in mid-November by US President Barack Obama and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard to base up to 2,500 US Marines in the northern Australian port of Darwin from mid-2012.
Obama announced the plan, which he said showed Washington's "commitment to the entire Asia-Pacific region", during his nine-day trip to the region that ended on Nov 19.
The move, however, drew concern from neighboring countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
"Military alliances are a product of history. We believe any strengthening and expansion of military alliances is an expression of a Cold War mentality," Geng said.
"This is not in keeping with the spirit of peace, development and cooperation, and does not help to enhance mutual trust and cooperation between countries in the region, and could ultimately harm the common interests of all concerned," he said.
"We hope that the parties concerned will do more that is beneficial to the peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific region, and not the contrary."
Geng also said that the notion raised by US and Australian officials of advancing "integrated air and sea combat" amounted to "trumpeting confrontation and sacrificing others' security for the sake of one's own security".
"To be honest, the theory of 'integrated air and sea combat' is not creative," he said.
Yuan Peng, an expert on US studies from the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said Washington's military deployment in Australia has a strong strategic orientation.
"It is overreaction toward China's normal military moves and it might result in China's overreaction in the near future. This security dilemma, if it escalates, might lead to another Cold War."
"The US wants to return to the Asia-Pacific region where China is rising, yet it lacks the principle of positive interaction."
Fan Jishe, a researcher from the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the 'integrated air and sea combat' theory is "clearly targeted at China's challenge to US military strategy, not terrorism, the claimed biggest threat to the US".
"This Cold War mentality will affect future cooperation between the two sides in both traditional and non-traditional areas," Fan said.
Spammers! stick to the topic. Tibetan monks embarrassed China. They ruined the chinese controlled-media reporting. They exposed bunch of lies chinese had been telling to the world.
China will continue to dispatch naval escort squads to the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters, a Defense Ministry spokesman said Wednesday.
Spokesman Geng Yansheng made the remarks at a monthly press briefing, adding that China will further boost cooperation with international escort missions in accordance with the spirit of the United Nations Security Council.
China sent its first convoy fleet to the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters in 2008, and December will mark the country's third year of making great contributions to maintaining national interests and world peace, Geng said.
China has sent 25 fleets, 22 helicopters, 700 special operators, and more than 8,000 officers and soldiers to this area, and has escorted more than 4,300 domestic and foreign vessels to date, Geng said.
China escorted the vessels of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) four times and took care of 50 vessels that had been attacked or released by pirates, Geng added.
"China has complied with its international duties and contributed to stability in the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters, effectively protecting the security of domestic and foreign vessels and sailors," Geng said.
During the escort missions, Chinese naval flotillas have positively interacted with international missions, communicated with relevant countries and organizations on information, and improved their abilities in implementing multi-military missions, Geng said.
“Tibetans lack a sincere and willing partner for an honest dialogue,” says His Holiness’ Envoy ] DHARAMSHALA, November 30: In a statement at the Tibet Intergroup Conference on Genuine Autonomy hosted by the European Parliament in Brussels, envoy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Kelsang Gyaltsen categorically said that China lacks “political will” in resolving the Tibet issue through negotiations on the proposed Middle Way Approach.

After China has met its target of starting construction on 10 million affordable housing units this year, more emphasis should be laid on construction quality and fair distribution, Vice-Premier Li Keqiang said.
All construction materials used in affordable housing should follow the same standards of commercial housing, Li said, adding that constant checks on affordable housing construction must be carried out.
"Affordable housing is a project of conscience and housing quality is the lifeline," Li said while inspecting an affordable housing construction site in Langfang, Hebei province on Friday.
Fair distribution is another key to ensure the success of the plan. Li said that central and local governments should speed up the establishment of a national information system covering personal housing assets to lay the foundation for fair and open distribution of subsidized housing.
To contain the rapid increase of property prices and provide low- and middle-income households with affordable housing options,
the central government has promised to build 10 million affordable housing units this year and another 26 million in the next four years.
While many members of the public are enjoying the benefits of the program, reports about the poor quality of low-rent housing projects and scandals that involve offering subsidized housing to the affluent have frequently made headlines.
In 2010, serious flaws were found in six half-finished subsidized apartment buildings in the Mingyuewan community in the Daxing district of Beijing.
Inspectors found that the cement being used was substandard, and the local government ruled in early October 2010 that the structures had to be demolished.
While making a report to the top legislature on Oct 28, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Jiang Weixin admitted that some "hidden defects" had been found in the construction of government-funded houses, such as using substandard steel, although the overall quality of the structures remained "under control".
Ji Rujin, deputy director of the Real Estate Research Institute at Tsinghua University, said that to ensure construction quality, a new type of insurance should be introduced that requires the developers of these buildings to provide insurance for the residents.
If quality problems emerge, the residents can apply immediately to the insurance companies and obtain payment, providing an effective way to protect their legal rights, Ji said.
In the report on Oct 28, Jiang also confirmed that some residents of affordable housing units drive luxury cars such as BMWs, which shows that there are loopholes in the management of the program.
To prevent this situation, applicants for public rental units should pledge to accept an investigation of their eligibility and voluntarily leave their units if they failed to qualify, suggested Ji. Provisions should also be made for the governments' responsibility to supervise and punish anyone who violated related laws, he said.
Li also made it clear that affordable housing construction was not only important for social welfare but was also crucial to the country's sustainable development.
He said that affordable housing construction has helped curb the excessive and rapid increase of real estate prices and thus helped to expand domestic demand.
"Urbanization is the biggest driver of boosting China's domestic demand, but excessively high housing prices will hinder the urbanization process," he said.
Therefore, keeping real estate prices at an appropriate level will help release huge domestic demand and boost industrial growth, which is of "great significance to maintaining China's sound and healthy economic growth, especially in the face of a weak world economy and complicated global situation", Li said.
UBS Securities Asia Ltd said in a report released on Friday that against the background of a worsening eurozone debt crisis and weakening external prospects,
domestic demand, especially property construction, was critical to sustaining China's growth next year.
"With private commodity housing sales and construction weakened by purchase and credit restrictions, the magnitude and pace of social housing construction hold the key to the strength of overall construction and demand for commodities and heavy industrial products.
"We expect ongoing construction of social housing to ramp up in the coming year, helping to prevent a hard landing of the economy," the report said.
As for bottlenecks that hinder the construction of affordable housing, Li said that relevant departments should actively study the possibility of issuing equities to raise funds and make a special land allocation plan for affordable housing.
He also emphasized that some government policies that have been adopted to curb rapidly increasing housing prices should not be made lax as the battle has entered a key period.
"The achievement should be further consolidated, and more small and medium-sized commercial housing should be offered to cater to the public's need," Li said.

The Varyag, China's first aircraft carrier platform, started its first sea trial on Aug. 10. According to the plan, the first sea trial will not last long and related refitting and testing work will resume after it returns to the shipyard.
Earlier, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense announced for the first time that China was refitting an obsolete aircraft carrier for scientific research and training purposes, which instantly attracted close attention at home and abroad.
The Varyag is just a training ship. The establishment of China's future aircraft carrier fleet and its operational system as well as the formation of actual combat capability will take a long time.
Even so, the first sea trial of the aircraft carrier is still a landmark event.
In retrospect, the 100-year history of aircraft carriers has clearly shown that owning aircraft carriers is usually one of the symbols of a major country's march toward a great power. China has not had its own aircraft carriers for a long time largely because of China's peaceful military modernization concept.
China has always been a peace-loving country, and its ownership of an aircraft carrier and its plan to strive to build aircraft carriers do not mean that it has not turned back on peaceful military modernization. Rather, it is a result of its deeper understanding of its peaceful military modernization. China's ultimate objective in its development of aircraft carriers is to safeguard its national security.
Along with rapid economic growth, constant technological progress and rising comprehensive national strength, China's national interests are expanding, making the effective protection of national sovereignty and territorial integrity more urgent. China started developing its own aircraft carriers for the purposes of building a strong navy, w

In my Chinese country, elections are a charade
—the government decides the results in advance.
Their candidates are always elected. Very often people are asked to elect two out of two candidates. Other times, elections even defy basic math—three
winners can be elected from two candidates. Every five years there is a national election
and the winners are called people’s representatives but the majority of them only represent the government.

After China has met its target of starting construction on 10 million affordable housing units this year, more emphasis should be laid on construction quality and fair distribution, Vice-Premier Li Keqiang said.

All construction materials used in affordable housing should follow the same standards of commercial housing, Li said, adding that constant checks on affordable housing construction must be carried out.
"Affordable housing is a project of conscience and housing quality is the lifeline," Li said while inspecting an affordable housing construction site in Langfang, Hebei province on Friday.

Fair distribution is another key to ensure the success of the plan. Li said that central and local governments should speed up the establishment of a national information system covering personal housing assets to lay the foundation for fair and open distribution of subsidized housing.

the central government has promised to build 10 million affordable housing units this year and another 26 million in the next four years.
While many members of the public are enjoying the benefits of the program, reports about the poor quality of low-rent housing projects and scandals that involve offering subsidized housing to the affluent have frequently made headlines.

In 2010, serious flaws were found in six half-finished subsidized apartment buildings in the Mingyuewan community in the Daxing district of Beijing.
Inspectors found that the cement being used was substandard, and the local government ruled in early October 2010 that the structures had to be demolished.

Ji Rujin, deputy director of the Real Estate Research Institute at Tsinghua University, said that to ensure construction quality, a new type of insurance should be introduced that requires the developers of these buildings to provide insurance for the residents.

If quality problems emerge, the residents can apply immediately to the insurance companies and obtain payment, providing an effective way to protect their legal rights, Ji said.
In the report on Oct 28, Jiang also confirmed that some residents of affordable housing units drive luxury cars such as BMWs, which shows that there are loopholes in the management of the program.

To prevent this situation, applicants for public rental units should pledge to accept an investigation of their eligibility and voluntarily leave their units if they failed to qualify, suggested Ji. Provisions should also be made for the governments' responsibility to supervise and punish anyone who violated related laws, he said.

Li also made it clear that affordable housing construction was not only important for social welfare but was also crucial to the country's sustainable development.
He said that affordable housing construction has helped curb the excessive and rapid increase of real estate prices and thus helped to expand domestic demand.
"Urbanization is the biggest driver of boosting China's domestic demand, but excessively high housing prices will hinder the urbanization process," he said.

Therefore, keeping real estate prices at an appropriate level will help release huge domestic demand and boost industrial growth, which is of "great significance to maintaining China's sound and healthy economic growth, especially in the face of a weak world economy and complicated global situation", Li said.

"With private commodity housing sales and construction weakened by purchase and credit restrictions, the magnitude and pace of social housing construction hold the key to the strength of overall construction and demand for commodities and heavy industrial products.

"We expect ongoing construction of social housing to ramp up in the coming year, helping to prevent a hard landing of the economy," the report said.
As for bottlenecks that hinder the construction of affordable housing, Li said that relevant departments should actively study the possibility of issuing equities to raise funds and make a special land allocation plan for affordable housing.

He also emphasized that some government policies that have been adopted to curb rapidly increasing housing prices should not be made lax as the battle has entered a key period.
"The achievement should be further consolidated, and more small and medium-sized commercial housing should be offered to cater to the public's need," Li said.

Even so, the first sea trial of the aircraft carrier is still a landmark event.
In retrospect, the 100-year history of aircraft carriers has clearly shown that owning aircraft carriers is usually one of the symbols of a major country's march toward a great power. China has not had its own aircraft carriers for a long time largely because of China's peaceful military modernization concept.

China has always been a peace-loving country, and its ownership of an aircraft carrier and its plan to strive to build aircraft carriers do not mean that it has not turned back on peaceful military modernization. Rather, it is a result of its deeper understanding of its peaceful military modernization. China's ultimate objective in its development of aircraft carriers is to safeguard its national security.
