BEIJING, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- China said on Monday protectionism of the United States has "seriously affected" their trade ties and urged it to stop abusing trade remedy measures.The Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian made the comments on the ministry's website in response to recent U.S. decisions to impose anti-dumping duties on electric blankets and wire trays from China and an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probe into Chinese steel drill pipes."Since the outbreak of the financial crisis, the U.S. trade protectionism has been apparently on the rise, and China has become the biggest victim of U.S. abuse of trade relief measures", said Yao.Yao said a recent accusation by a senior U.S. commerce official that China has set barriers against foreign investment was "totally contrary to the facts."China is the third largest export market of the U.S., and has been the fastest growing one for years. U.S. exports to China reached 77.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2009, driving down the U.S.-China trade deficit by 16 percent, he said."Absorbing foreign investment is part of China's basic state policy of opening-up," said Yao. "China has always been making efforts to provide a more open and more optimized investment environment for domestic and foreign investors.""Some countries themselves resort to trade protectionism, but turn around and accuse others. This is not only unreasonable but also not good for its own economic recovery," he said.

BEIJING, Feb. 6 -- The Chinese government is looking at ways to protect consumer rights and develop common standards in the burgeoning pre-paid card industry.The popularity of the cards has flourished in recent years in major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. In 2007, just four companies in Beijing issued them. Now more than 300 have been registered in the city with the People's Bank of China (PBOC).Complaints have also risen. In Shanghai, where the cards are used most, 4,800 people complained between January and November last year compared with 4,049 during the whole of 2008.Most complaints were about the cards' expiry, as money left on them is kept by some companies."I feel my money on the pre-paid card is very risky since I have to pay close attention to when it expires and try to spend all of it before that date or I will lose it. It's unfair to limit the time available to spend my own money," said Liu Xiaodan, a 26-year-old salesman.It's estimated that the total volume of money left on pre-paid cards after they expire is more than 100 million yuan in Shanghai. The figure for Beijing is not available.The PBOC will launch a series of supervisory regulations this year to oversee the operation of pre-paid card companies, said Zhang Wei, a financial industry analyst. "One of the most important aspects is the management of any money left on the card after it expires. Any investment of money on the cards either before or after they expire must be at zero risk."Fang Xinghai, the head of Shanghai Finance Office, said his organization worked closely with the PBOC to keep an eye on pre-paid card companies."We suggest that special accounts should be opened with the bank where the money on the cards is held to ensure it is safe," he said."If that happens, even if the company goes bust, the money will still be fixed in the account and the cardholders' rights will be protected."Warnings about the risks involved in using pre-paid cards are displayed on the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce's website. Complaints about the cards tend to reach their peak during the Spring Festival, when many people buy them as gifts for friends and relatives.The first pre-paid card arrived in Beijing in 2002. Customers can deposit between 100 and 200,000 yuan on them for use at participating shops, restaurants and gyms.Some companies issue them to their employees as an extra benefit.Their popularity took off because they save the inconvenience of carrying money around and enable people to control spending, especially useful if they are given to children or housekeepers.However, the companies behind them are currently regarded as unspecified financial institutions by the PBOC and, as such, are not strictly regulated. That means people have few rights if the company goes bankrupt. They will no longer be able to use the cards, no matter how much money is on them, and will have difficulty reclaiming their cash.Cheng Xi, a 28-year-old engineer, said: "I received the pre-paid card as a gift but I would not buy one myself because I'm not familiar with the pre-paid card company and, if it goes bankrupt, my money would disappear."No matter how distinguished and reputable the company behind a card is, its most important challenge is to win clients' trust."Having a standard trademark like China UnionPay, which has a good reputation for reliability, is necessary for a company to distinguish it from those with a bad reputation. The company that wins the trust of most clients will be the biggest winner," said Clark Lin, a financial analyst at Thomson Reuters.Fu Dingsheng, a civil and business law expert at East China University of Political Science and Law, said: "Part of the pre-paid card company's capital should be classified as a guarantee deposit when the issuers register their companies. In that way consumers' rights can be met to some extent when a dispute occurs."Even though the prepaid card sector is an emerging industry with little or no supervision, the government is speeding up its oversight of the sector."PBOC is playing a leading role in the supervision of the industry. We regard this as an important task to complete in order to protect consumers' rights to the greatest extent," said Fang from Shanghai Finance Office.

BEIJING, March 11 (Xinhua) -- China's supreme court and procuratorate vowed Thursday to step up anti-corruption efforts after a string of high ranking officials fell in last year's clean-up campaign.Prosecutors will focus on work-related crimes, commercial bribery and crimes that seriously infringe on people's interests this year, Prosecutor-General Cao Jianming told lawmakers in his work report to the parliament.More attention will also be given to criminal cases behind mass incidents and accidents, cases concerning construction projects, real estate development, land management and mineral resource exploration, Cao told nearly 3,000 lawmakers at the annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC).These areas are where corruption usually hide.Officials acting as "protective umbrella" for gangs will also be a focus of prosecutors' agenda this year, Cao said.In the work report of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP), Cao said the country's prosecutors launched graft probes against 2,670 officials above county level last year, including eight at the provincial or ministerial level.The eight high-ranking officials included Huang Songyou, former vice president of the Supreme People's Court and Wang Yi, former vice president of the state-run China Development Bank.Also on the list were Chen Shaoji, former top political advisor of southern Guangdong Province, and Wang Huayuan, a former provincial official in eastern Zhejiang Province.Altogether, prosecutors investigated about 41,000 people, down 3.3 percent, in more than 32,000 cases, up 0.9 percent, for embezzlement, bribery, dereliction of duty and other work-related crimes last year, according to Cao's report.Among the probed, more than 18,000 were "extremely serious" corruption cases, while 3,100 were grave cases in connection to dereliction of duty or infringement of people's rights, it said.More than 9,300 government workers were implicated in cases of dereliction of duty, malfeasance and infringement of people's rights, Cao said.Nearly 3,200 bribers were punished "in an effort to strengthen crackdown on bribery offering crimes," he said.Cao said the authorities seized more than 1,100 on-the-run suspects involved in work-related crimes, with more than 7.1 billion yuan (about one billion U.S. dollars) embezzled or received in bribes recovered.NPC deputy Zhu Yong, also a political and law official in the provincial Communist Party committee in the eastern Anhui Province, said strict anti-corruption measures, such as auditing on officials who are leaving their posts, have produced fruitful results in fighting corruption.However, Zhu said some officials are still vulnerable to the temptation of bribes, and so fighting graft remains a challenge.Fighting graft is a very difficult task worldwide and cannot be efficiently addressed in a short period of time, Zhu added.VOWS TO CLEAN UP JUDICIARYChief Justice Wang Shengjun said courts will take actions on judicial corruption to prevent abuse of judicial power this year after Huang Songyou, former vice president of the Supreme People's Court (SPC), was jailed for life in January for taking bribes and embezzlement.Huang was convicted of taking more than 3.9 million yuan (about 574,000 U.S. dollars) of bribes from 2005 to 2008.Wang said nearly 800 court officials were punished for violating laws last year.Courts at all levels should "learn a lesson" from the case of Huang to pinpoint rooted problems on the management of judges and supervision of power, he said.Prosecutor-General Cao said the authority will "never relax its efforts" in the crackdown on judicial corruption.An extensive anti-gang crackdown in southwestern Chongqing municipality since last year revealed a grave situation of judicial corruption. About 200 judicial and public security officials in the city have been found to be implicated.Wen Qiang, former deputy police chief and head of the justice bureau of Chongqing, stood trial last month. He was accused of raping, taking more than 15 million yuan of bribes to protect criminal gangs, and possessing a huge amount of unexplainable assets.

ABU DHABI, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- The 2010 World Expo, slated for May 1 to Oct. 31 in the eastern Chinese city of Shanghai, will provide an opportunity for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and China to enhance their mutual understanding, officials said Wednesday.The UAE is the first country to complete the "base-build" of its own pavilion at the Expo, with the exception of China's national pavilion, the state news agency WAM reported.The UAE pavilion will carry the Gulf nation's message to the people of China and many other countries, Saqr Ghobash, chairman of the National Media Council that is coordinating the project, was quoted as saying."We are particularly focused on the theme of Expo 2010 -- ' Better City Better Life' -- because we recognize that this resonates very deeply with the UAE's own experience," he said.Ghobash added that the UAE government and people have made huge strides towards creating a modern society that respects its past whilst embracing the present."We have much to share with our friends and partners in other countries.

The UAE Pavilion offers a dedicated area for such exchanges and presentations," he said.

BEIJING, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's police departments will launch a 30-day campaign starting Wednesday to hunt down fugitives who are suspected of having committed a crime known as fake invoice fraud.The campaign will have a code name known as "spring thunder", said Liu Jinguo, Vice Minister of Public Security.While addressing a teleconference Monday, the vice minister said: "As the Spring Festival is drawing near, the demand for fake invoices remains strong. Perpetrators will get on the move."Statistics show that the police across the country uncovered 237 cases involving fake invoice fraud and detained 234 suspects in January. They also destroyed eight large sites making and selling fake invoices, and confiscated more than 12 million fake invoices in the past month.Fake invoice vendors are common in Chinese cities, where they offer receipts used for tax purposes. Such invoices could cause huge losses in tax revenues and could feed illegal activities, such as smuggling, money laundering and corruption.The Spring Festival, or the New Year's Day on the Chinese lunar calendar, will fall Sunday. It is an occasion for reunions of relatives and friends, completed with much fun and plenty of eatings. Spring Festival is the most important event for people of Chinese origin.
