China Growth Slows to Lowest in Two Decades
 
Anchor:
New figures show China's economic growth slowed to just 7.4 percent last year, the weakest rate in over two decades.
But the rate is within market expectations, and comes amid the government's efforts to rebalance the economy.
CRI's Yin Xiuqi has more.
Reporter:
The official growth rate for last year has come in just below the official target of 7.5 percent growth.
However, it's the slowest rate of growth in China since 1990 when growth that year tumbled to just 3.8 percent.
Ma Jiantang, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, admits the Chinese economy faces headwinds.
"Generally speaking, China's economy has achieved stable progress with improved quality under the 'new normal' in 2014. However, we should also be aware that the domestic and international situations are still complicated and China's economic development is still faced with difficulties and challenges."
Growth in fixed10 asset investment, a key growth engine, eased to just under 16-percent on an annualized basis last year.
The property market - a major driver of demand across a range of domestic industries - also saw slower growth this past year.
Investment expansion in the property sector11 decreased by over 9 percentage points from 2013.
The Chinese government is pinning the overall slowdown as a function of the government's attempt to transform the economy, weaning itself off overreliance on investment and trade in favor of domestic consumption.
Retail12 sales gained 12-percent this past year.
The service sector managed to expand its overall market share, representing some 48-percent of China's GDP.
David Dollar, an economist14 with Washington-based Brookings Institution, says he expects China's economy to do well this year.
"Chinese economy is basically doing quite well. The growth rate is slowing down, which is natural at this stage of development. China has built up a lot of excess capacity in different sectors15, so it makes sense for the investment to slow down, bringing down the growth rate. But China's exports are holding up well. Consumption is holding up well. So the overall growth rate is a little bit above seven. And I think that's quite good. For 2015, I would expect the growth to slow a little bit more but still could be around seven percent."
Alfred Schipke, a senior IMF official in China, is recommending the Chinese government take a balanced approach to the management of the economy this year.
"The risk is that the government is faced with three tasks at the same time. On the one hand, it is trying to reduce vulnerabilities in the economy. At the same time it tries to facilitate the adjustment that is going on. But the third point is very important that it tries to avoid a too sharp slowdown. So macro policies need to carefully calibrated16."
The IMF has cut its forecast for the Chinese economic growth this year to 6.8 percent.
It's widely expected Chinese policy-makers are going to set their own growth targets for this year at around 7-percent.
Steps have been taken to ensure the Chinese economy doesn't head towards a so-called hard-landing.
The People's Bank of China is thought to be looking at another interest rate cut after cutting interest rates to 2.75 percent in November, the first time the central bank has moved on interest rates since 2012.
For CRI, I'm Yin Xiuqi.
 
 
Premier Li arrives in Switzerland for Davos forum, working visit
 
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang is now in Switzerland to attend the annual World Economic Forum in Davos and pay a working visit to the country.
Li says he hopes to see efforts at the forum to grow the world economy in a strong, sustainable and balanced manner.
In his keynote speech at the meeting, the premier is expected to deliver a clear message of confidence about the Chinese economy through an explanation of the so-called "new normal".
This is a term the Chinese government has been using to describe a slower rate of growth in China amid reforms to the overall economy to a more consumer-driven model.
The Chinese premier is leading an 80-plus-strong delegation18 comprising high-ranking government officials, business elites19 and prominent academics, including influential20 business leaders such as Alibaba founder21 & chairman Jack22 Ma and Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei.
Ding Yifan, a scholar with China's Development Research Center of the State Council, believes that China, under the "new normal", will inject positive energy into the world.
"On the one hand, China's 'One Belt and One Road Initiative' plays a key role in improving infrastructure23 in relevant countries, which will bring Europe and Asia ever closer together. On the other hand, certain prominent Chinese entrepreneurs like Jack Ma and Ren Zhengfei are accompanying Premier Li at the forum, which is good news for foreign investors24."
"The New Global Contest" has been set as this year's theme in Davos.
Over 2,500 participants from more than 140 countries, regions and international organizations are expected to exchange views on a wide range of issues like the global economy, environmental protection, and non-traditional security.
 
 
Rescue Underway for Missing Fishing Boat with 14 Crews on Board
 
The search continues for a missing fishing boat and 14 crew members in the East China Sea.
Lin Qianke, deputy director of Zhejiang Provincial26 Maritime27 Rescue Coordination28 Centre, says some fishing net has been found.
"We divided a thousand square nautical29 miles at the scene into six areas. Each vessel30 takes charge of one area, searching for the missing boat, back and forth31."
All seven rescue vessels32 will expand the search area today.
Contact with the fishing boat was lost early Monday morning off the coast of Zhejiang Province.
 
 
Ling Jihua faces removal as the vice13 president of CPPCC committee

The draft from the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will be submitted to a standing34 committee for further approval.
Ling has been under investigation35 for "suspected serious disciplinary violations36," a term often used in corruption37 cases.
He's one of a number of high-profile officials to be caught up in the Party's wide-ranging crackdown on corrupt38 officials in China.
 
 
Abnormal climbing speed may be the reason for the crash of
 
Investigators39 may have determined40 what caused the crash of Air Asia flight 8501.
Indonesian Transport Minister says the flight was climbing at a speed of some 1,800m per minute and plunged41 suddenly before disappearing from radar.
Ignasius Jonan says such a speed is "abnormally high" and can only be achieved by a fighter jet.
The comment comes after the plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder was found last week.
Initial investigation shows the pilot had requested to climb to a higher altitude to avoid bad weather conditions before losing contact with the air control.
Investigators had said that the crash is unlikely to be caused by terrorism.
 
 
A flight 'blacklist' system under discussion in China: Aviation experts
 
Reporter:
Aviation industry insiders say discussions are now underway in China about the possible creation of a "blacklist" for people involved in illegal or disruptive behavior on flights.
The discussion comes on the heels of a series of incidents involving Chinese travellers.
CRI's Wang Mengzhen has details.
Reporter:
In one of the latest incidents, a man was arrested in Inner Mongolia's capital Hohhot last week after he tried to open the emergency door while on a fight from Hunan's capital Changsha to Hohhot.
Witnesses say the man appeared to be drunk.
This incident is the latest in a series of air-rage events involving Chinese travellers.
A few weeks ago, a flight from Bangkok to China had to return to the Thai capital after Chinese passengers became involved in a dispute with the air staff on the flight, leading to a flight attendant being scalded with hot water.
Incidents involving disruptive Chinese travellers appear to be growing.
Zhang Qihuai, an aviation expert with a Beijing-based law firm, says there are some factors that tend to lead to air-rage.
"On the one hand, the educational background and temperament42 of passengers can be quite different. They can act-out and break laws and regulations without even knowing it. But at the same time, the quality and temperament of flight crews, as well as customer service at the airports, can also lead to problems."
Numerous brawls43 among passengers and attacks on cabin crew are often filmed and posted online in China, creating a growing perception around the world that Chinese travellers are rude and hard to deal with.
As such, Diao Weimin, an associate professor with the civil aviation management institute of China, says steps can be taken to ensure rowdy passengers don't become a potential threat.
"Based on the rules laid-out by the International Civil Aviation Organization, airlines do have the right to prevent passengers who have disturbed a flight or failed to follow orders from the cabin crew from flying. This has become an international convention. However, the application of the rules is different among different domestic flight companies. I think we should set up a unified44 'blacklist' system to root out problem passengers."
However, legal expert Zhang Qihuai says he's not sure a unified "blacklist" system is necessary.
"In my opinion, the existing laws and regulations are sufficient to limit illegal behavior among passengers. It is not right to set up a 'blacklist' for passengers with bad manners, since it is only supposed to be used to keep suspected terrorists or criminals off flights. It's also not right for individual airlines to start drafting rules covering the aviation system."
While there have been numerous incidents involving unruly and potentially-dangerous acts on airlines involving Chinese passengers, at this point, none have led to any mid-air catastrophes45.
For CRI, I am Wang Mengzhen.
 
 
Abe says hostage taking "unforgiveable"
 
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is calling a threat made by the Islamic State group to kill two Japanese hostages "an unforgivable terrorist act" and has pledged to free the men.
A video released Tuesday purported46 to show an IS figure demanding a 200-million-US-dollar ransom47 for the hostages, a freelance journalist and a private security company head, or they will be executed within 72 hours.
It came as Abe was wrapping up a six-day tour of the Middle East.
At a joint48 news conference after talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Abe says he has asked for help from the Palestinian leader.
"President Mahmoud Abbas mentioned that this terrorist act is unforgivable and will challenge any terrorists. He expressed his hope that this case will be resolved as soon as possible and the two Japanese citizens will be released. He also mentioned that he is willing to provide further help and is ready to work closely with Japan to resolve the case."
The IS figure in the video appeared to link the ransom to a pledge Abe made Saturday of nonmilitary aid to help the Iraqi government and to assist Syrian refugees who have fled the Islamic State's brutality49.
Abe and other Japanese officials have declined to say whether they would pay a ransom, though the prime minister has dispatched a deputy foreign minister to Jordan to seek the country's support in resolving the hostage crisis.
A Japanese government spokesman says Abe has cancelled other events on his schedule in the Middle East.
He is due to return to Japan later on today.
 
 
Shiite Houthi gunmen seize presidential palace in Yemen's capital
 
Yemen's Houthi rebels have seized the presidential palace in the capital Sannaa a day after they signed a ceasefire deal with the government that ended deadly clashes.
A government source says no clashes happened as the guards at the palace handed over their arms and left.
The Shiite rebels also shelled President Abdo Rabbu Mansour Hadi's home, accusing the president of violating last year's power-sharing agreement.
Last September, the Houthis seized control of most of the capital, but under a power-sharing deal the country's president and government were left in place.
The rebels and the presidential guards engaged in fierce clashes on Monday near the presidential palace, leaving 9 people dead.
The two sides then reached a ceasefire deal and agreed to set up a committee to monitor the truce52.
The chaotic53 situation in Yemen has prompted the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has called for an immediate54 halt to hostilities55.
Stephane Dujarric is Ban's spokesperson.
"The Secretary-General calls on all sides to immediately cease all hostilities, exercise maximum restraint and take the necessary steps to restore full authority to the legitimate56 government institutions."
A popular uprising in 2011 forced out long-time Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Saleh.
President Hadi was then elevated to the post as part of a deal brokered57 by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf58 countries.
Both Hadi and Saleh have collaborated59 closely with US attacks on Sunni militants60 in Yemen.
 
 
FMs to meet in Berlin on Ukraine crisis
 
Foreign ministers from Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany are due to meet in Berlin today amid escalating61 tensions in eastern Ukraine.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier says the meeting aims to renew a political compromise under increasingly difficult circumstances.
The forthcoming Berlin meeting comes as Kiev accuses Russia of attacking Ukraine forces in the eastern Luhansk region, which borders Russia.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko says de-escalation of the conflict in Ukraine will never happen while Russian forces continue to enter his country.
"As far as today our intelligence report two battalions62 of Russian tactical groups, total number up to 2,000 troops, entered my territory, and not simply entered but participated in the combat operation. I think with this type of approach we'll never reach the de-escalation."
There has been no independent confirmation63 of the latest Ukrainian allegations, which have been denied by Russia.
The European Union has announced that it will not consider easing sanctions against Russia as long as the fighting continues.
 
 
Russia to build weapons but no arms race: Putin
 
Russian president Vladimir Putin has said that Russia will develop new weapons to ensure its security without entering a costly64 arms race with the West.
He added that Russia's military modernization65 plans should be realistic and take into account the current economic situation both domestically and abroad.
Putin also said Russia could respond to military threats without spending as much as others on defense66.
Putin has visited a military research institute outside Moscow where he was shown recent weapons and developments in military equipment, including a combat robot.

ZTE posts 94% jump in net profit in 2014
 
ZTE Corp, China's biggest listed telecommunications equipment maker17, posted results yesterday showing a 94 percent jump in net profit in 2014.
Surging demand for 4G network equipment and high profit margins77 from growing sales of smartphones overseas are credited for the huge increase.
Net profit totaled 423 million US dollars last year.
The rapid development of 4G services in 2014 also fueled the demand for 4G base stations.
By November, China boasted 75 million 4G users.
China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom have built a total of 700,000 base stations, surpassing an original target of 500,000 stations.
On the other hand, ZTE expanded business in overseas smartphone markets which offer higher profit margins compared with the domestic market.

ZipDial gives clients free phone numbers for use in marketing campaigns.
Consumers call the numbers and hang up before connecting and incurring79 charges, and then receive promotion-related text messages.
The service capitalizes on a local tradition of communicating through so-called missed calls.
A person may give a friend a missed call to signal arrival at an agreed destination, for instance, without having to pay the cost of a phone call.
Twitter did not disclose terms of the purchase.
 
 
Economic impact of Ebola less severe than previous estimates, World Bank
 
A World Bank research report shows the economic costs of the Ebola epidemic80 outside of the worst-affected countries, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, are much lower than previously81 estimated.
That is mainly due to the intensive global and national responses that prevented the disease from further spreading in recent months.
The report estimates the economic losses for sub-Saharan Africa will be 500 million U.S. dollars in 2015 with the current limited spread.
But for the three worst-affected countries, the cost will be at least 1.6 billion U.S dollars.
In the worst case scenario82 the cost for African economies could be as high as 6 billion dollars.

Jeju Governor: Chinese investment still welcomed in Jeju island
 
Anchor:
A number of questions are being raised following a decision by authorities on South Korea's Jeju Island to cancel a number of Chinese-funded projects.
Local authorities have also taken steps to make it tougher for Chinese nationals to invest on the island.
For more on these moves, CRI's Luo Yu spoke50 with Won Hee-ryong, the provincial governor of Jeju.
1. In recent years, the fear that "Chinese capital is nibbling104 away at Korea" was frequently seen in the South Korean press. And you once claimed that that "no Chinese investors will be allowed to set foot on Hallasan". Why is this move?
'I think there are some misunderstandings. I would like to take a chance to express our sincere thanks and clarify the misunderstandings. Jeju island is listed as a United Nations world natural heritage site. Protecting the environment is the most important thing for us. As such, we've not only increased the threshold for Chinese investors, but South Korean investors as well. We need strong legislation to protect the natural environment. But I want to reiterate105 that we warmly welcome Chinese investors.'
2. You've mentioned that the environmental protection there in Jeju Island is one of the major concerns for the government. Of course local people worry about real estate price will be surging if there are so many investors who get their permanent residency. But at the same time, the investment is really boosting the economy there, and it also helps create a lot of job opportunities. What's your take on this?
'Jeju's environment helps create jobs and income for the local residents. This is something we pride ourselves in. However, the more money that rolls into Jeju, the higher home prices become. This is a basic fact of the market. We're currently dealing106 with an over-supply of homes, as well as too many casinos. As such, we feel the rapid increase in investments on the island are becoming detrimental107 to the local economy and environment, so we have to make adjustments. We need to have a balance between preserving the environment and allowing for growth in the economy. As we revise our policies, we're also trying to coordinate108 with investors. We want to develop Jeju island through prudent109 investment.'
3. Generally to Chinese business investors there, how would you assess their investments so far? And what is Jeju looking for from the Chinese investors?
'I would personally like to thank all Chinese investors in Jeju. They've increased the brand value of the Island. However, we have to deal with the long-term concerns of the island, including its environment, culture and the future of the industries, including wind power, electric vehicles and information technology. But at the same time, we want to create more cultural exchanges with the Chinese side.'

Tennis: Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic Win 1st Round Matches at Aussie Open
 
First we take a look at the Australian Open;
World no. 1 Serena Williams seems to be back in top form after routing Alison Van Uytvank 6-Love, 6-4.
Williams is tied with Maria Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova for most majors won at 18—a win at the Aussie Open would be her 19th Grand Slam title in 58 showings.
Venus Williams also came through with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor.
China's Zhang Shuai crashed out after going down 6-3, 6-2 to France's Alize Cornet. So did fellow Chinese competitors Zheng Saisai and Zheng Jie.
Meanwhile, Belarussian Victoria Azarenka is through after defeating American Sloane Stephens. She will go on to face eighth-seed Caroline Wozniacki, who beat the U.S.'s Taylor Townsend 7-6, 6-2.

Asian Cup: Japan Tops Group D; Iraq Runners Up
 
In football;
Down at the Asian Cup in Australia last night;
The Blue Samurais top Group D, as Japan booted Jordan from the tournament with a 2-0 victory.
Japan had the ball in the net after 10 minutes, but Takashi Inui's effort was disallowed112 after the officials decided the ball was out of play when Shinji Kagawa delivered the cross.
Japan continued to dominate and found the back of the net again in the 24th minute.
This time, it counted.
Keisuke Honda finished with a simple tap-in after goalkeeper Amer Shafi parried Shinji Okazaki's shot into his path.
That was Honda's third of the tournament, and his first from open play.
Japan led 1-0 at the interval113.
It was effectively over, on 82 minutes.
Shinji Kagawa completed a well-worked team move as he got his first goal of the tournament.
The win meant Japan top Group D with nine points and will face the United Arab Emirates in the quarter-finals in Sydney on 23 January.
And Iraq became runners up after shutting out Palestine 2-0. Iraq needed to win to seal their quarter-final place, while Palestine had only pride to play for, having already been eliminated.
With the win, Iraq will go on to face neighbors and tournament heavies Iran in quarter-finals action on Friday.
