Fire in Three Containers All Put out in China Chemical Plant Blast
Firefighters have put out fires in all the three containers after over seven hours' of intensifying7 efforts to tackle a blaze that followed a blast at a chemical plant in southeastern Fujian Province on Monday evening.
The blast was caused by fire at a xylene facility, this according to the results of an initial investigation8 revealed today.
Investigators9 say a xylene facility leaked oil and caught fire, which led to blasts and a fire at three nearby oil storage tanks on the Gulei Peninsula.
Health authorities say fourteen injured people have been treated in the hospital.
Zhang Yiteng, vice10 Mayor of Zhangzhou city says that no pollutants11 have been detected in nearby villages.
"No trace of pollutants has been detected in villages surrounding the plant, no waste water has been discharged externally after the incident, and the society remains12 calm and stable in general."
Shen Yongxiang, director of the Gulei economic development zone where the factory is located, says residents of the affected13 areas have all been evacuated14.
"After the accident, there were still around 400 residents living in the area, and local authorities arranged the evacuation. Over 400 residents living within an 800-meter radius15 from the plant have all been brought to safety.
This is the second accident within 20 months at the same plant, which produces paraxylene, an industrial chemical used for making fiber16 and plastics.
Former Nanjing mayor given 15-year jail term for bribery17
Former Nanjing mayor Ji Jianye has been sentenced to 15-years in prison for taking bribes18 worth some 1.8 million US dollars.
The former mayor of the capital of Jiangsu plead guilty to all charges in his trial in January.
Ji Jianye was removed from his post and put under investigation for bribery in 2013.
He served as mayor of Nanjing from January 2010 until 2013.
He was also deputy party secretary for Nanjing.
Nanjing is also the first Chinese city to have two top officials sacked during the anti-corruption campaign.
Yang Weize, the former Party chief of Nanjing, was removed from his post for suspected serious party discipline and law violations19 and is now under investigation.
Hong Kong to introduce campaign to promote tourism
Anchor:
Hong Kong is considering a campaign in the summer to attract more visitors as tourism has experienced a slump20 in recent months.
CRI's Hong Kong correspondent Li Jing has the story.
Report:
Every year, thousands of mainland tourists flood into Hong Kong during the Qingming Festival holiday, but this year, the number of tourist groups has dropped by 20 percent compared with last year. And the number of tourist arrivals last month also saw a year-on-year 9 percent slump.
Joseph Tung, executive director of the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong, says the city's tourism industry is experiencing its hardest time since the "SARS" pandemic in 2003.
"We haven't seen such sharp drop since SARS. I think there are two factors. On one hand, the currencies in neighboring countries are depreciating21, while Hong Kong dollars are relatively22 strong. On the other hand, the protests against parallel goods traders and some impolite behavior towards visitors have left the impression that they are not welcome in Hong Kong. "
Official figures show that retail23 sales in January went down nearly 15 percent from a year ago, with sales of jewelry24 and watches plunging25 21 percent.
A shop owner in the prime shopping area of Causeway Bay for the past decade says she feels the chill recently.
"It is not as busy and crowded as it used to be. The number of individual tourists is falling. The other countries are opening up to mainland people, so they go to other places rather than coming to Hong Kong."
As a result, the official organization overseeing tourism in the city, the Hong Kong Tourism Board, is planning to make campaigns together with restaurants and retail stores during the summer holiday, to attract tourists with discounts and other preferential policies.
President of the Hong Kong Federation27 of Restaurants and Related Trades Simon Wong hopes the government can work with tourism insiders to boost consumption.
"We have 24-thousand restaurants providing different kinds of food. It is important to have a common goal but we don't have enough resources to make it on our own. We had a successful lottery28 campaign in Hong Kong restaurants before, with the participation29 of lawmakers. "
Hong Kong Disneyland is actively30 promoting in Thailand and Philippines, and will fine tune31 its strategies in line with market demand.
Due to sluggish32 sales, rental33 rates in Causeway Bay, which was crowned as the highest rent street in the world back in 2012, has declined by 10 to 15 percent, and is expected to drop more if consumption does not pick up soon.
For CRI, this is Li Jing in Hong Kong.
Japan's foreign diplomatic Blue Book causes controversy34
South Korea has denounced Japan's yearly diplomatic paper as "history-regressive," as the Japanese government repeated its territorial35 claims to Dokdo islets, called Takeshima in Japan.
South Korean Foreign Foreign Ministry36 Spokesman Noh Kwang-il .
"The Japanese government should keep in mind the remarks that German Prime Minister Merkel made, "Germany has an eternal responsibility to remember and convey its cruel act from past", and should ask themselves why Germany is being respected by the international community after the second world war."
The statement came after Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida submitted the paper, which said Dokdo is "an inherent part of Japanese territory" according to historical facts and international law.
In the paper, Japan reiterates38 its territorial claims and cites a Chinese vessel's entering into waters around China's Diaoyu Islands as an attempt to "unilaterally change the status quo" in the East China Sea.
In response, the Chinese side has repeated its insistence40 that it was in fact Japan's unilateral actions that unnecessarily stirred up tensions.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying.
"We would like to develop a strategic mutual41 beneficial relationship with Japan on the basis of the China-Japan four political documents, in the spirit of learning from history and facing up to the future. But in the meantime, we have stressed several times that Diaoyu Islands belong to China. China's resolution and determination to protect her territorial sovereignty will never be questioned. "
The diplomatic paper comes a day after the Education Ministry irked China and South Korea by unveiling the results of its regular review of textbooks for middle school students.
In those textbooks, Japan also claimed its sovereignty over each disputed set of islands.
Furthermore, when referring to the infamous42 Nanjing Massacre43, instead of stating the fact that the Japanese army "killed many Chinese captives and civilians44," textbooks were changed to say that captives and civilians were involved in "the tragedy."
US to boost Asian pivot45: defense46 chief
Anchor:
The new United States Secratery of Defense says that his country considers its strategic pivot towards Asia and the Pacific crucial, as the US plans to significantly boost security investment in the Asian-Pacific region.
CRI's Luo Bin47 has the details.
Reporter:
U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has gone on-record saying the United States is planning to increase its security spending as part of its strategic rebalance towards Asia and the Pacific.
Carter made the revelation while on a speaking engagement in the US before heading to Japan and South Korea in his first Asian trip, which kicks off tomorrow.
He said the relationship between China and the US is complicated, but that his side is resisting so called "zero-sum" thinking.
"Some people would have you believe that China will displace America in the Asia-Pacific, or that its economic growth will somehow squeeze out opportunities for young people like you. But I reject the zero-sum thinking that China's gain is our lost because there's another scenario48 in which everyone wins, and it is a continuation of the decades of peace and stability anchored by a strong American role, in which all Asia-Pacific countries continue to rise and prosper49, including China. This is the scenario we seek in the ongoing rebalance."
In his announcement on Monday, Carter said the United States is opening a new phase of its strategic pivot toward the Asia-Pacific region.
"So as secretary defense I am personally committed to oversee26 the next phase of our rebalance, which will deepen and diversify50 our engagement in the region."
He also specifically emphasized the importance of the Trans-Pacific Partnership51, or TPP, in the rebalance, which is expected to contribute more than 120 billion USD to the country's exports.
"But the TPP also makes strong strategic sense, and it is probably one of the most parts of the rebalance and that's why it has won such bipartisan support. In fact, you may not expect to hear this from the secretary of defense, but in terms of the rebalance in its broader sense, the TPP is as import to me as another aircraft carrier."
Carter's upcoming trip to Asia is the first of the two scheduled in April and May. A U.S. Defense Department statement said earlier that Carter's April trip would focus on strengthening and modernizing52 America's alliances in Northeast Asia.

Last group of Chinese nationals evacuated from Yemen
China has evacuated the last remaining Chinese nationals stranded53 in conflict-ridden Yemen.
A group of 38 Chinese evacuees54 have arrived in Djibouti on board a Chinese navy ship and they will travel onwards to China on a commercial flight later on today.
45 Sri Lankans evacuated from Yemen have also arrived in Djibouti aboard the same Chinese ship.
Meanwhile, another Chinese navy ship carrying 9 Chinese nationals and one Japanese evacuated from Yemen has arrived at Oman's Salalah port.
China has already evacuated hundreds of its nationals and citizens of other countries from Yemen in recent days.
Yemen is mired55 in a bloody56 conflict amid Saudi-led airstrikes on the Houthi militant57 group.
Q&A about campus attack in Kenya
The local service industry in Kenya is already starting to feel the pinch from last week's deadly attack on a university campus by al-Shabaab militants58 which left close to 150 people dead.
Hotels along Kenya's coast, as well as game park reserves, say they're already starting to see tourists cancel trips.
As a vital part of the national economy, Kenya's tourism industry has already been in a decline since 2013 when al-Shabaab militants stormed an upscale shopping mall in the capital Nairobi, leaving 67 people dead.
For more on this, earlier I spoke37 with Judah Kioko, a Public Defender59 at the Civic60 Enlightenment Center of Kenya.

Iraq and Kurds Join Forces to Liberate61 Nineveh
Iraq's federal government and the Kurdish Regional Government say they will work together for the liberation of the northern Nineveh province, which the Islamic State group mostly controls.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has led an Iraqi delegation62 in a visit to the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq.
"Our visit to Irbil today is for cooperation and to coordinate63 a common plan for the liberation of the Nineveh people. We don't have any interest or benefit as a federal government, neither does the Kurdish Regional Government, to violate the land of Nineveh. We will cooperate to liberate Nineveh for the benefit of the Nineveh people."
Kurdish President Massoud Barzani, al-Abadi says Iraqi and Kurdish forces will cooperate in the fight against the Islamic State.
"We decided64 to form a common committee of military and security experts on both sides to see how we can participate and in what form. And after they submit their report we will take a decision."
Both leaders also have condemned65 violations of life, property and rights committed against Nineveh citizens.
The central Iraqi government and the Kurdish Regional Government both claim the oil-rich Nineveh province and its capital Mosul as their own territory.

China's central bank makes cash injection
China's central bank has injected funds into the market through a reverse repurchase agreement designed to meet cash demand.
On Tuesday, the central bank pumped 20 billion yuan, or some 3.3 billion U.S. dollars, into the money market through a seven-day reverse repo.
The process sees the central bank purchase securities from individual banks with an agreement to resell them at a future date.
According to a statement on central bank's website, the seven-day reverse repo was priced to yield 3.45 percent.
The benchmark overnight Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate, which measures the cost at which Chinese banks lend to one other, shrank 2.8 percent on Tuesday's interbank market.

The ministry pointed79 to 'rampant80 irregularities' in online lottery sales and said that organizations have been offering lottery services without official authorization81.
Industry sources suggest there could be as many as 400 Internet companies reportedly involved in online lottery sales.
This generates more than 85 billion yuan (almost 14 billion US) in revenue, accounting82 for 22 percent of total national lottery sales.
The official notice has led to a complete halt in online lottery sales in China as Internet companies suspend activities awaiting further policy clarification.
Samsung Electronics' operating profit rebounds83 in Q1
Samsung Electronics saw its operating profit rebound84 in the first quarter of this year, shrugging off worries about faltering85 earnings86.
According to the company's statement, in the first three months, preliminary figures for operating profit stood at some 5.4 billion U.S. dollars, up almost 12 percent from three months earlier.
The first-quarter figure also surpassed the market forecast.
Last year, Samsung's revenue was down by more than 10 percent.
Since late 2013, the company has seen profits sag87 due to heightened competition in the smartphone market that it had dominated for years.
Samsung has faced a double challenge from US rival Apple in the high-end smartphone market, and rising Chinese firms like Xiaomi in the mid- to low-end market.
The smartphone division's earnings are expected to rise sharply during the second quarter on the back of robust88 sales of the newly launched Galaxy89 S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
Meanwhile, Samsung has won big orders to manufacture the main chip in Apple's next iPhone model.
Bloomberg reports that Samsung plans to make Apple's next generation A9 processor chips at its Giheung plant in South Korea.
Insiders say all these factors indicate that Samsung is likely to see a strong year.

Ikea bans customers sleeping on display beds
It's reported that Ikea has introduced new rules that forbid store visitors from sleeping on showroom sofas and beds, but the rule is proving hard to enforce.
The world's largest furniture retailer100 introduced the rule because many customers, both adults and children, have been sleeping in stores, creating a scene and affecting the experience of other customers.
Some customers even take off their shoes and lie on the beds as if they were in their own homes.
Ikea encourages customers to sit or lie on beds for a short while to experience their quality, but many sleeping customers occupy the display pieces for too long, a staff member says.
The air-conditioned megastore in Beijing is known for attracting customers in summer who are looking to escape the heat.

South Korea's Passion for Watching Strangers Eat Goes Mainstream111
During the last year or two, watching other people eat has made its way into mainstream TV programs in South Korea.
The trend started off with the TV series "Let's Eat," which is about three singles gathering112 to dine together.
About one-fifth of the 50-minute episode shows the three biting on food and chewing, the camera close-up on their mouths and the ends of their chopsticks.
The director of the show believes the culture, which considers eating as a communal113 activity, is the main reason behind Koreans' attractions to "eating" show.
The Korean word for "family" is "shik-gu," which also means "people who eat together." This word implies the weight put onto the act of eating in the Korean culture. Eating is one of the most intimate and essential part of one's life.
To Koreans, sharing food is a way of affiliating114 with others. Hence, in the modern era where this tradition is fading, watching others eat or conversing115 with them via the screen may be a small source of a comfort.

Journey to the Antarctica, are you ready?
Anchor:
A rapid influx116 in the number of Chinese people looking to travel to the Antarctic is generating calls for new rules and guidelines to be laid out to protect both the people who travel there, as well as the highly-sensitive ecosystem117.
CRI's Yu Yang has more.
Reporter:
Ushuaia is the southernmost city in Argentina. As the jumping off point for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, it welcomes over 100,000 visitors from all around the world every year.
According to the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators, 3,328 Chinese nationals visited the Antarctic continent last year, a ten-time increase from a decade ago.
At the same time, the growing number of tourists flocking to Antarctica brings concerns about the fragile ecosystem there.
Valeria Dreiser is an analyst from Academy of Tierra del Fuego in Argentina. She said related institutions and travel agencies have developed strict rules to restrict tourists' behavior, in a bid to protect the environment of the continent.
"Tourists must wear clean rubber boots for all landings; they are not allowed to touch penguins118 or walk beyond the designated areas; they cannot walk alone; No one can leave his/her personal belongings119 on the continent, nor can he/she take anything away, including stones."
Besides man-made rules, nature also sets boundaries for tourists. They need to be ready for sea-sickness, dry weather and high levels of UV radiation.
Wang Li has just concluded her tour to the South Pole.
"Sea-sickness is sometimes unavoidable, especially when you travel across the strong gusty120 westerlies between 40 and 60 latitudes121. I brought fresh ginger122, anti-sick patches that I placed on the skin behind the ears, pills, refreshing123 oil, peppermint124 oil and almost anything else I can think of, but I still felt very uncomfortable."
Another torture for tourists is the unexpected dry weather. In fact, the Antarctic is the driest continent on Earth partly due to its scarce annual precipitation.
Furthermore, the level of UV radiation in Antarctica is very high because the sea, ice and snow reflect more sunlight.
"I wasn't aware of the two driest places in the world until I arrived in the South Pole. One is the Sahara desert, the other is Antarctica. The dryness there is beyond imagination. Be sure to take along sun lotion125 and moisturizer before the journey, and drink lots of water during the trip."
Last but not the least, the Antarctica tour comes with high levels of uncertainty126. Everything is subject to weather and the state of the sea therefore the schedule could be changed at a moment's notice.
So if travelers want to take a close look at the South Pole, they need to be both patient and well-prepared.

The series is still in its early stages especially as the writer is currently busy finishing up The Winds of Winter, the sixth installment151 in the Game of Thrones series. The novel won't be out this year but fans can read the second chapter on Martin's website.
Meanwhile fans of his work can catch the start of the fifth series of Game of Thrones on HBO next week.
John Oliver scores interview with Edward Snowden
HBO comedian152 John Oliver has scored his biggest interview yet – an interview with whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The comedian surprised his viewers by revealing he had travelled to Russia to interview Edward Snowden, who leaked documents about the American government's mass surveillance programs to journalists in 2013.
The interview started on a lighter153 note asking Snowden about the things he missed from America.
But soon Oliver probed Snowden on why he released the information.
The interview took months to arrange and only a handful of journalists have been able to interview Snowden in person.
A source close to Snowden says John Oliver's interview request was granted because of his journalism154.
Don McLean reveals secrets behind American Pie
Don McLean has finally revealed the secrets behind the lyrics155 to American Pie.
The lyrics are up for auction156 today at Christie's auction house in New York. In notes that accompany the lyrics, McLean describes the song as a morality song that charts the decline of the USA and its loss of innocence157.
The draft up for auction at Christie's is 16 pages: 237 lines of manuscript and 26 lines of typed text, some of which did not make the final song. The auction house believes it could fetch $1.5 million.
McLean initially158 said he was selling the manuscript on a whim159 but in an interview with Christies, he said he wanted to influence young songwriters to think about every word in a song.
American Pie made number one in the US and is frequently cited as an important piece of cultural history.
Lady Antebellum to pay 7 fans mortgages
Country mega group Lady Antebellum are holding a competition which will see seven of their lucky fans have their mortgage payments paid off for a whole year.
Named the 7for7 sweepstakes, the band will award seven of their fans a backstage VIP concert experience and a rather significant break on their mortgage payments.
In a statement, Charles Kelly said that he hoped the band would help change some of their fans' lives in a real and tangible160 way.
This isn't the first time Lady Antebellum have given back to their fans. Their first 7for7 campaign granted wishes from fans across North America and ranged from visits to an American Girl store to an Army base.
The band have recently been nominated for 'Vocal161 Group of the Year' at the upcoming Academy of Country Music awards
Adam Levine admits to being terrified during stage invasion
Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon162 5 has admitted to being terrified when a fan jumped on stage during the band's recent show in Florida.
The front man was midway through performing when a screaming female fan wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to give him a hug. Video footage shows the star taken by surprise and trying to push her away.
When the singer realized that the girl was just an enthusiastic fan, he put his arm around her and waited until security could take her away.
Levine told the crowd later on in the evening that he found the girl's actions terrifying.
Many fans have criticized the woman for her actions and blamed people who stage invade for the reason why so many artists are unwilling163 to meet many of their fans.
