Chinese President Hu Jintao has left Cannes, France, for home after attending a summit of the Group of Twenty (G-20), at which G-20 leaders discussed measures to halt the downturn in the world economy and promote global financial stability.

G20 agrees to reap benefit from financial integration3

However, they failed to iron out differences over the introduction of a financial transaction tax (FTT), which has been eagerly promoted by this year’s G20 host of France.

Chinese journalists have been urged by a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to improve their work by "voicing the heartfelt wishes of the masses and always putting the people first."
Liu Yunshan, head of the Publicity17 Department of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at a reception held in Beijing to honor winners of the China Journalism18 Awards, one of the country's top media prizes.

China's maritime22 and cultural officials have pledged greater efforts to stop small treasure hunters from looting the cultural relics from sunken ancient merchant ships in the South China Sea.
They say the authorities will strengthen surveillance and boost the law enforcement manpower to curb23 the looting, in which the use of explosives and other destructive methods have seriously threatened the safety of undersea relics.
Most of these relics have been found around the waters of the Xisha Islands, a chain of islets lying on the route of the ancient maritime Silk Road, where a number of merchant ships sunk after colliding on the shallow coral reefs or amid rough weathers.
