The State Council's project to improve shanty areas will benefit society, said an article in Beijing Youth Daily.
The State Council decided in June to invest in improving living conditions in shanty areas.
In the coming five years more than 10 million households will benefit from this project. This project will also drive the development and growth of peripheral industries and the construction of supporting facilities.
Governments at all levels will help and benefit from this project. It will also create more jobs, which will benefit society.

A teacher at Fujian Normal University asked students to list at least 15 uses for a condom during a final exam, Fujian's local news portal fjsen.com reported on June 28.
The question, along with others from the university's "Planning and Creativity" course exam quickly spread online, provoking heated discussions and inspired answers from netizens.
Many students and teachers interviewed felt the question was thought-provoking. "I enjoyed the exam because it shows me whether I'm creative enough," said a student surnamed Zeng who sat the exam.
Huang Guo, the course instructor with FNU's College of Communication who wrote the exam, responded on his Weibo account saying that the question was designed to test creative thinking, but also admitted the exam had its awkward moments.
"One of the students claimed she had never seen a condom before, and needed me to explain what it looked like," wrote Huang.

Idioms for the smoggy days

It has not been long since the beginning of the year, when Beijing air smelled of smoke and the visibility was "barely visible". Most of the time, Beijing's smog worsens and clears, never reaching that horrible smell of burning coal. But it seems that the smoky smell has made a comeback, and during these couple of days, you can barely see the top of buildings or into the distance.
On days like this, some indoor language learning seems to be fitting. Pull out these idioms when you talk to your friends in Chinese about the smoggy day.
天昏地暗
tiān hūn dì àn
Literaly translated to "murky sky, dark earth", this chengyu is used to describe the thunderstorm or sandstorm days when the day darkens because of natural phenomenon. A very fitting phrase for the smog intensive days when the sun fails to shine through, and the wind fails to chase it away.
暗无天日
àn wú tiān rì
This chengyu literally means that it is so dark that one cannot see the sky nor the sun. Usually it is used to describe an oppressive society, where one cannot escape one's doomed fate. A similar chengyu 不见天日 (bù jiàn tiān rì) is also used to describe not being able to see the light of day.
若隐若现
ruò yǐn ruò xiàn
Partly hidden and partly visible is what this phrase describes. On some days, the buildings, people in the distance, the next few blocks are all 若隐若现, disappearing into the smog.
Spice up your discussions on the Beijing weather with these idioms, and your friends might teach you some more phrases for you to use them flexibly! As netizens say:
我看不见你的样子,不是近视眼,不是泪眼朦胧, 而是北京雾霾.
Wǒ kàn bújiàn nǐ de yàngzi, búshì jìnshìyǎn, búshì lèiyǎn ménglóng, ér shì běijīng wùmái.
I cannot see you, not because of my short-sightedness, nor because of my teary eyes, but because of the Beijing smog.

New labor law to protect temp workers
http://www.ecns.cn/cns-wire/2013/07-01/70994.shtml
Jul 1st 2013, 07:53
2013-07-01 16:53 Ecns.cn Web Editor: Mo Hong'e
(ECNS) ― The newly amended China Labor Contract Law, which stipulates that temporary workers are entitled to "equal pay for equal work," takes effect on July 1, according to reports on Monday.
Labor dispatch, also known as labor outsourcing, is a form of employment arrangement where an individual signs an employment agreement with a labor dispatch agency and is then dispatched to work in a third company, the hosting company or the real employer.
The newly amended Labor Contract Law stipulates that "dispatched workers are entitled to equal pay for equal work. In other words, they shall receive the same compensation, including basic salary, bonuses, subsidies and allowances, as received by regular employees."
It also requires employers to implement the same "labor remuneration allocation mechanisms" for dispatched workers as those applied to regular employees in the same positions.
The new law is expected to provide more effective and better protection to workers. According to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, in 2011, there were about 37 million dispatched workers in China, accounting for 13.1 percent of all urban employees, and long-term labor dispatch arrangements are seen in a wide variety of positions, especially at state-owned enterprises and government agencies.
Implementing the rule of "equal pay for equal work" for temp workers is seen as a must for income distribution reform. However, analysts point out that as the new amendments do not include detailed rules for implementing the rule, the future for full implementation of the rule remains quite vague.
In practice, many companies sign labor dispatching contracts with their employees whose wages are in fact paid by labor dispatching agencies.
This kind of "fake dispatch, true employment" is rampant.
Experts say that many companies seem to take advantage of the loopholes regarding the use of temporary labor and pursue their own gains at the cost of workers' rights. The amended law is expected to help standardize such practices regarding temporary workers.
The newly amended law stipulates that starting July 1, a company providing labor dispatching services shall have a minimum registered capital of 2 million yuan (500,000 yuan is required under the current law), fixed office premises and facilities as well as management rules on dispatch laborers.
Further, it shall obtain administrative permission from the labor administration authority. A company that fails to get administrative permission will not be allowed to engage in labor dispatching services.
The amendments emphasize that labor dispatch may be used only for "temporary, ancillary or replaceable" positions.
The amendments also stipulate that more severe penalty be imposed for employers attempting to get around the requirements. Failure to comply could result in fines of 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan per worker.
Experts point out that many employers favor dispatch workers to avoid risks and lower labor costs. The new amendments encourage enterprises to adopt permanent employment to create a fairer and more reasonable work environment.
As the implementation of the amended labor contract law is expected to add labor costs to companies, it may trigger a large number of dispatch laborers being laid off.

Sinovel facing lawsuit from investors
http://www.ecns.cn/business/2013/07-01/70856.shtml

2013-07-01 08:56
Sinovel Wind Group, China's largest wind turbine maker in terms of market share, is to be charged with financial fraud by some of its investors, a lawyer in charge of the case told the Global Times Sunday.
"We have received about 50 individual investors' requests for the lawsuit," Li Jian, a senior partner at Zhejiang Yufeng Law Firm, told the Global Times.
The investors bought shares in Sinovel but suffered losses due to the company's fudging of its accounts, Li said.
The company's share price tumbled from 81.37 yuan ($13.17) on January 13, 2011 when it was first listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, to 3.81 yuan per share on Friday.
Li said he is still waiting for a statement about the company from the securities regulator, which is expected in a few months.
If the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) confirms that the company has committed financial fraud, he will initiate the lawsuit on behalf of the investors.
The CSRC announced on May 31 that Sinovel was under investigation for inflating its sales revenue and profit data.
In a statement it filed with the Shanghai Stock Exchange on March 7, the company admitted that it incorrectly reported an extra 929 million yuan in sales revenue and 168 million yuan in net profit attributable to its shareholders in its annual report for 2011.
Individual investors who bought and sold Sinovel's shares and suffered losses between the company's disclosure of its 2011 annual report on April 11, 2012 and March 7 this year are currently qualified to join the lawsuit, Li said.
There is also a possibility that the CSRC may decide that Sinovel misled investors since it was first listed, according to recent media reports.
If this is the case, investors who still hold shares in the company will be eligible for compensation, which is estimated to reach hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan, Li said.
"The fraud is unacceptable as it treated investors like fools," a Nanjing-based investor told the Global Times on condition of anonymity. She bought 700 shares in Sinovel in May 2012, and has seen their value halve since then.
She also said that punishments by the regulator are not tough enough - otherwise there would not be cases of financial fraud such as this.
Sinovel has been suffering in recent years, with its sales revenue and net profit attributable to shareholders falling by 57.73 and 197.31 percent respectively in 2012 from the year before.
It was also charged in the US last week with theft of trade secrets from one of its US suppliers. The company was not available forSunday.
The company's poor performance is partly due to a slowdown in domestic market demand and overcapacity problems in the sector, Cao Yin, consulting director with market research and consulting firm Martec Group, told the Global Times Sunday.
Sinovel took advantage of the financing it got from the A-share market to boost its production capacity and gain its current share of about 20 percent of China's wind turbine market.
The overcapacity issue is still serious, despite consolidation in the sector over the past two years, Cao said.

China's strike on terrorism supported, intl co-op urged

The Chinese government has a responsibility to crack down on the recent terror attacks in its Xinjiang region and the international community should strengthen cooperation in the fight against terrorism, experts said.
"The violent terror attacks occurred in Xinjiang is outrageous," said Ismail Debeche of the China-Algeria Friendship Association. "We strongly condemn the terrorists who attempted to destroy China's ethnic unity, peace and stability."
Terrorism is a global enemy and every government has the responsibility to crack down on terrorism, said Debeche, adding that the China-Algeria Friendship Association supports and appreciates Beijing's determination and concrete steps to strike terrorism.
A total of 24 people were killed on Wednesday by rioters in an attack in Lukqun Township in Xinjiang's Shanshan County. The rioters attacked the township's police stations, a local government building and a construction site, and set fire to police cars. Twenty-one police officers and civilians were injured.
The police shot and killed 11 rioters at the scene and captured another four.
Khalid Mahmood, president of the Islamabad Council of World Affairs, said some miscreants were trying to disturb Xinjiang's social and economic development and impede China's growth through repeated activities against the people and the state.
Terrorism is not only the common enemy of Pakistan and China, but also of the rest of the world, said Mahmood.
It is the right of every country not to allow any group or militant organization to hijack their interests, disturb economic development, social harmony and social stability, he added.
Sok Touch, deputy director of Cambodia's International Relations Institute, said Islamic extremists attempted to separate the Xinjiang region from China through religion.
Spokesman for Cambodia's Council of Ministers Phay Siphan said Sunday that as a friend of China, Cambodia wishes not to see any deadly violence in China and hopes that all issues in Xinjiang would be solved peacefully.
"Any violent activities should be ended," he said. "A strict law implementation must be applied."
Ramesh Chopra, a senior Indian critic on strategic issues, said the terror attacks that occurred in Xinjiang, similar to those in other countries, were manipulated by international extremist forces.
The international community and every government should not give in to or connive the terrorists, he said, adding that they should strengthen cooperation to crack down on terrorism
Regional players including India and China should also work together to deal with this common enemy of mankind, he said.
Wahid Muzhdah of Afghanistan's Strategic Research Center said terrorism is the common enemy of countries in Central Asia and poses a challenge to human civilization.
For regional peace and security, the international community and regional organizations must join hands to address this trans-regional challenge, he said.
"As a major country, China has its reason and capability to respond to terrorism in its own way," he said. "A series of steps taken by Beijing have worked to frighten the criminals and help safeguard stability in the country."
Pierre Picquart, a French China expert, told Xinhua that the Chinese government is right in clamping down on terrorists in Xinjiang who used religious or economic excuses to stoke unrest and launch violent attacks. "Beijing wants to protect the freedom of the people," he said.
