Top NewsChina, Australia to sign FTAChina and Australia are expected to sign a long-awaited Free Trade Agreement this week.
Australian media says the FTA will be signed later today in Canberra by Australian Trade Minister Andrew Robb and Chinese Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng.
The agreement will ensure 85 per cent of all Australian exports enter China tariff-free, rising to 93 per cent within four years and 95 per cent when the deal is in full force.
Australia will eventually reduce tariffs6 to zero on all goods imported from China.
The FTA also includes opening-up of numerous service sectors9, a simplified review procedure for investments, most-favored-nation treatment, favorable market access rules and market transparency.
China is Australia's top trading partner, with the two-way flow of goods and services exceeding 160 billion US dollars last year.
Negotiations11 on the FTA started in 2005 and concluded in November last year.
For more on the story, CRI's Brian Kopczynski earlier spoke12 with Alan Oxley, Chairman of the APEC Study Center at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and Principal of Australian consultancy ITS Global.

Land Reclamation13 on Some Nansha Islands to be Finished SoonAnchorChinese authorities say some of the land reclamation work on the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea will be completed soon, as planned.
CRI's Guo Yan reports.
reporterIn a press release, Foreign Ministry14 spokesman Lu Kang noted15 that the main purpose of the construction activities was to meet various civilian16 demands and better carry out China's international obligations and responsibilities.
He stressed that the construction activities fall within the scope of China's sovereignty so that they are "lawful17, reasonable and justified18".
He said the activities are not targeted at any other country and do not affect the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all countries in accordance with international law.
Lu added that the projects didn't and will not cause damage to the marine19 ecological20 system and environment in the area.
Wu Shicun, a Chinese expert on South China Sea issues, says the activities are proportionate to China's status.
"As the largest economy in East Asia and the largest country on the shore of the South China Sea, China has obligations, responsibilities and also capabilities21 to provide services in the fields of maritime22 search and rescue, disaster prevention and mitigation, marine scientific research, meteorological observation, ecological environment conservation, navigation safety as well as fishery production, which will not only benefit China, but also the countries around the South China Sea and any vessels23 passing by."Wu Shicun says the current dispute over the South China Sea involves more parties than any other dispute elsewhere in the world, but it should not hamper24 the joint25 efforts for development.
"Before there is a solution, it's better for relevant countries to put aside the dispute while working together for the cooperation and development in the South China Sea. There is no change in China's strategy and foreign policies that are defensive26 in nature and pursuant to peaceful development and friendship with neighboring countries."Lu Kang confirmed that after the land reclamation is complete, China will start building facilities to meet relevant functional27 requirements.
He notes that China will continue to uphold peace and stability in the South China Sea.
According to his comments, China will continue to dedicate itself to resolving relevant disputes with relevant states through negotiation10 and consultation28 on the basis of respecting historical facts.
He added that China will work with the ASEAN countries to push forward actively29 consultation on a "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" within the framework of fully30 and effectively implementing31 the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.

Security measures enforced at Legco ahead of political reform voteAnchorSecurity measures have been stepped up at the Legislative Council in Hong Kong after an alert was issued.
It comes ahead of the debate and vote on an electoral reform plan due to be submitted by the government later on today.
CRI's Hong Kong correspondent Li Jing has the story.
ReporterJasper Tsang, Chairman of The Legislative Council in Hong Kong, says tightened32 security arrangements for the complex are in place to prevent clashes.
"The latest risk assessment33 by the Police indicates that there is a likelihood of the Legislative Council Complex being stormed by radical34 groups in the next couple of days. At the same time, it has been brought to the attention of our Secretariat that there will be large numbers of people coming from opposing political camps gathering35 in the precincts of the Complex."Earlier this week, Hong Kong police uncovered an alleged36 bomb plot and arrested 10 people ahead of this week's Legislative Council vote on a universal suffrage37 package.
Following the arrest, Chief Executive CY Leung stresses that no illegal activities will be tolerated.
"I shall reiterate38 a position which I take, which everyone in Hong Kong should take too, and this is we don't tolerate any kind or any form of illegal activities, whether it is violent or non-violent. And we definitely should not legitimize illegal activities, whether they are non-violent or violent."Lawmakers will begin a debate and vote starting from Wednesday on the government's electoral reforms in 2017.
Some lawmakers have repeatedly said they will veto it because they believe the reform package doesn't offer what they call "genuine democracy".
However, a recent public opinion poll shows that nearly 60 percent of respondents want the government's reform package to be passed.
It requires two thirds of the votes at the Legislative Council.
The convener of the Silent Majority of Hong Kong Robert Chow hopes lawmakers will follow the mainstream40 public opinion not to veto the plan.
"It is universal and obvious that over 50 percent represents the mainstream opinion in any democratic systems. If it is not majority, what is it?"The Hong Kong government have spent the past two years trying to garner41 enough support from the public and lawmakers to realize universal suffrage in the next chief executive election in 2017, which means 5 million eligible42 voters in Hong Kong will be able to choose their leader through "one person, one vote" from among the hopefuls nominated by a nominating committee.
For CRI, this is Li Jing in Hong Kong.
Antibody Targeting MERS emergesChinese and American scientists claim to have jointly43 developed a new antibody targeting the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome44 (MERS) virus.
A research team of Fudan University in Shanghai worked with their counterparts from the U.S. National Institute of Health to develop the antibody, and say tests on animals have seen "very effective" results.
Jiang Shibo who leads the Chinese research team says more study is needed before a new drug can be put into clinical use.
"It needs to go through further clinical trials, like fulfilling its safety efficacy tests, animal safety efficacy tests and Phase I clinical trials. So there is still a long process."The m336 antibody treatment has proved more effective when coupled with a specific type of polypeptide.
Germany Reports First Death from MERSA 65-year-old MERS patient has died in hospital in Germany, the first death in that country from the MERS virus.
The man is believed to have been infected with the virus during a trip to the Arabian Peninsula in February.
Dr Reinold Gross is the head virologist with the hospital where the patient had been treated.
"The patient who was treated in this clinic had a lot of the virus, which was shown during the tests, but did not infect any of the people who were in close contact with him. That is noteworthy and we have looked into this very closely. Everyone who was in contact with the patient - including family, and people who were involved in his medical care - no one was infected."The local health ministry tested 200 people and all of them were negative for the virus.
The Czech Republic has reported its first patient suspected of being infected with the MERS virus.
The 25-year-old man is now hospitalized after returning from a hiking trip to South Korea in late May.
The results of the young man's test should be known later this morning.
Meanwhile in South Korea, the number of deaths has climbed to 19 while the number of confirmed cases has surged to 154.
Putin Announces Rearmament PlanRussian President Vladimir Putin has announced a modernization drive for the country's armed forces - with a goal of at least 70 percent modern armament by 2020.
Under the plan, over 40 intercontinental ballistic missiles, four missile regiments46 for combat duty, and a strategic nuclear submarine will come into service this year.
During a meeting with his Finnish counterpart after the announcement, Putin underlined that Russia will respond to any threat posed to its territory.
"If someone puts our territories under threat then we will have to aim our armed forces and modern striking facilities at the territories where the threat comes from, accordingly."This plan is said to strengthen Russia's defense47 capability48 as NATO's military build-up near the country's borders is accelerating.
In response, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg claims the move will destabilize regional peace.
"And this nuclear sabre-rattling of Russia is unjustified, it's destabilising and it's dangerous. And this is something which we are addressing and it's also one of the reasons why we now are increasing the readiness and the preparedness of our forces."Over 5,000 troops from 17 NATO and partner countries are participating in Baltic Operations maneuvers49 being held throughout the Baltic Sea.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has expressed his concern over Putin's reminder50 of the nation's nuclear capabilities.
Kerry warns nobody wants to see US-Russia relations go back to "cold war status".
Talks over Ukraine Crisis Held in MinskRepresentatives of Ukraine, Russia and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe have gathered in Minsk, the Belarusian capital, for a regular meeting on the implementation51 of the ceasefire agreement designed to stop the violence in Ukraine.
Heidi Tagliavini of the security watchdog OSCE says the meetings have been constructive52.
"After the end of the working groups (meetings), as usual, the meetings of the trilateral contact group took place in order to discuss the agenda of the next meeting with coordinators and to discuss further issues concerning organization of our work in the future."However, not all the envoys54 agreed.
Vladislav Deinego, representative of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, says the meetings have been blocked.
"Unfortunately, because of complete neglect of some issues by Ukraine, absence of any, absolutely any proposals for discussion from them, absence of reaction to projects we've offered, including changes to the constitution and election bill, unfortunately, due to these reasons this time we have practically not moved forward in these directions."Tagliavini also confirmed that she will step down as the OSCE representative in talks regarding the Ukraine crisis.
Violence has intensified56 in recent weeks despite a ceasefire deal signed in Minsk in mid-February.
UN envoy53 meets Yemen rebels at Geneva peace talksThe United Nations special envoy on Yemen has held talks in Geneva with Houthi rebels, to seek an end to the civil war in Yemen.
Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed says the road ahead will be difficult, but he insists getting both sides of the conflict to Geneva is a great achievement.
"It is an important start towards the return to a political process. Let us be realistic - it will be a difficult path. But the important issue is that we start addressing the crisis, in all its dimensions, with determination and willingness, and that we start doing this now, here in Geneva."The UN envoy is also warning nothing will be resolved unless the rebels and the government agree to sit down together.
The sides have agreed to so-called proximity57 talks, in which mediators meet separately with the various factions58 - with the hope of eventually getting everyone to sit around the same table.
Houthi delegate Ghaleb Mutlak says they are trying to achieve a truce59 for the holy month of Ramadan that starts later this week.
"Discussions are taking place about a ceasefire and starting a truce for a period of a month or so. During this truce, the political dialogue would continue, because there are humanitarian60 issues that we all have to deal with, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen."So far neither side has shown desire to compromise in the talks.
Meanwhile, fighting in Yemen is still raging, with dozens reported killed on Tuesday in the southern city of Aden.
EU Nations Divided over Migrants IssueEuropean interior ministers have failed to reach agreement over an emergency plan to share the burden of the thousands of refugees crossing the Mediterranean61.
Italy and Greece claim that new refugees arriving in the two southern nations should be split up equitably62 among the 28-nation bloc55.
The ministers disagreed over this issue at talks in Luxembourg. But they all agreed that a shared approach was crucial to tackle the issue.
Angelino Alfano, Italian Interior Minister says migrants having no right to asylum63 must be repatriated64.
"We've always followed the rules and will continue to do so. We think about the future working together with France, even further strengthening the police cooperation at the border in order to avoid what happened in Ventimiglia from happening again. In the meantime, those who have the right to asylum will be allowed to stay in Italy, Europe is working towards redistribution in other European countries, the essential point is that those who do not have a right to asylum must be repatriated, this is the basis of the system. "So far about 100,000 migrants have entered Europe this year, with around 2,000 dead or missing in the dangerous trip across the Mediterranean Sea.
Donald Trump65 Is Running for 2016AnchorFor years, Donald Trump, a well-established real estate developer and television reality show star, has talked about his ambition to run for the White House. But this time, he is serious, announcing on Tuesday that he is officially in the running for 2016. But will the voters take him seriously? Here is our Washington chief correspondent Xiaohong with the story.
AnnDonald Trump is serious.
"I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again."He criticized President Obama on a wide range of issues, from Obamacare to trade deals, saying "the American dream is dead"!
He also humiliated66 some of his Republican competitors, saying they came to him asking for financial support for their campaigns but could not produce any plans to make the country great again.
He believes he has the skills of a great deal-maker and will bring great trade deals for Americans.
"I will be the greatest jobs president God ever created. I tell you that."The successful businessman is not shy about his wealth, telling the crowd that he is really rich with a net worth of close to 9 billion U.S. dollars.
He stressed that it's time to get rid of the old mindset that a successful person cannot run for public office.
Trump's 2016 bid has created a lot of buzz in the media and on social networks. However, TV pundits67 say Trump's 2016 bid will only turn the presidential race into a reality show. And just two weeks ago, Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC's Late Night show, compared Trump's presidential bid to FIFA's World Cup that happens every four years and no one in America cares.
Trump is currently among the top 10 Republican candidates and will appear on a Fox News debate in August. But NBC has told him that he will no longer host his TV reality show "the apprentice68" because NBC believes they may not be able to provide equal platforms for other presidential candidates.

Beijing Exhibits Regional cultural heritagesAnchorThe Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition is now open here in the Chinese capital.
As our reporter Chi Huiguang tells us the showcases display the stunning69 range of arts and crafts that have been passed down in the region.
ReporterAmong over 130 intangible cultural heritage works are being shown at the exhibition, the most eye-catching piece is the miniature replica70 of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven, which is made in rosewood by an artist team from China Red Sandalwood Museum.
Traditional lacquer art is another highlight.
Chinese lacquerware carving71 skills were created more than 12 hundred years ago during the Tang dynasty and has been developed in Beijing since about 6 hundred years ago at the beginning of the Ming dynasty.
Yin Xiuyun, a lacquerware carver in Beijing, says the artists carve on a thickly-lacquered surface after painting over it many times.
"The procedure of painting the lacquer is pretty long. Not like carving skills on jade72 or other matereials, on which the artists carve directly on the materials."Yangliuqing New Year's pictures, which first appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, were included on the intangible world heritage list in 2006, the first of fine arts.
Huo Qingshun is the inheritor of Yangliuqing New Year's picture in Tianjin.
"We are here to let the public know and appreciate the New Year's picture. The key point is to teach the visitors to produce some pictures on their own."Chinese paper-cut from Weixian and Yishui ink slabs74 are both examples of intangible heritage in Hebei province.
At the booth of paper-cut, several children are studying the cutting skills with the artists.
Zou Hongli is the inheritor of the Yishui ink slab73 producing skills.
He says that besides showcasing the traditional Chinese cultures, there is another important aspect of the exhibition:
"There are a lot of intangible cultural heritages in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Though we are in different artistic75 styles, actually they still have much in common. Plus, we are able to communicate with each other here during the exhibition period."A special area is also designated to invite craftsmen76 to present their techniques on the spot. This provides visitors with a rare chance to appreciate the cultural heritages as close as possible.

Bank of China Becomes First Chinese Bank to Help Set Gold PriceAnchorBank of China has become the first Chinese bank to participate in the electronic auctions that set London's Gold Price benchmark.
CRI's London Correspondent Duan Xuelian has more.
ReporterBank of China has joined seven other financial institutions to become a direct participant on the electronic platform that sets the gold price in London.
Being the world's largest bullion94 consumer, China has never directly played a role in global gold pricing before now.
Sun Yu, general manager of Bank of China's London branch says participating in the gold auctions will increase the link between China and international markets.
"Participating directly in the electronic auctions means we will be able to reflect the supply and demand in the Chinese market on a global platform, which can also help the global pricing of gold to be more accurate and comprehensive."Sun adds that it will also help reduce the trading cost of Chinese clients and enable the bank to introduce services based on the global gold price benchmark.
The benchmark is widely recognized by producers, consumers and investors in gold trade across the world. It was administered by the Inter5 Continental45 Exchange through a twice daily electronic auction3 platform which replaced the London Gold Fix in March this year.
Finbarr Hutcheson, President of ICE Benchmark Administration welcomes the new Chinese participant, believing it to be a demonstration95 of market support for the digital gold auction system.
"China is both a huge producer and consumer of gold and so it is a more global process to bringing China to join in the participation96 here in London. We do expect more interest and more participation from around the globe and from China. Bank of China is the first Chinese participant and it is also a great breakthrough for us."For CRI, I'm Duan Xuelian in LondonMixed-ownership reform of Bank of Communications approvedChina's fifth largest lender, Bank of Communications, has become the country's first state-owned bank to carry out mixed ownership reforms.
China's central bank on Tuesday approved Bank of Communications to go ahead with reform plans, earlier approved by the State Council.

China has been pushing forward mixed-ownership reform for large state-owned banks, believing the presence of private capital can generate more vitality98.
Lawsuit99 between China's Top Drink Makers39 UnderwayChina's Supreme100 Court has concluded a session for the lawsuit between rival herbal drink makers over the packaging of their red-canned beverages101.
In July 2012, Guangdong Jiaduobao Drink & Food Corporation and Guangzhou Wanglaoji Pharmaceutical102 Co sued each other over claims of illegally using the other party's packaging.
The higher court in Guangdong gave a verdict at the end of last year, ordering Jiaduobao to stop using the packaging and compensate103 Wanglaoji to the tune104 of 150 million yuan, or about 25 million US dollars.
But Jiaduobao lodged105 an appeal later to the Supreme Court.
The court didn't give a final verdict.
Jiaduobao was authorized106 to use Wanglaoji's brand in the 1990s. But the two firms later sparred for years over the right to use the brand until the Wanglaoji Company won a brand case three years ago.
China loans Zambia 29 mln USD for infrastructureThe China Development Bank and the Zambia-China Economic & Trade Cooperation Zone have signed a loan of 29 million U.S. dollars for infrastructure107.

China's onshore service outsourcing contracts riseThe value of China's onshore service outsourcing contracts increased 6.3 percent year on year to 42.5 billion U.S. dollars in the first five months.

The United States, European Union, Japan and Hong Kong were the major clients of the Chinese mainland's service providers.
However, the contracts declined in value during the period.
Singapore, the South Korea, and Taiwan witnessed the most rapid increase in service outsourcing contracts with the Chinese mainland.

But for me to go through what I went through at Torrey and Phoenix115, to come back and do what I did at Augusta gave me a lot of confidence going forward."Woods has had some of the worst performances of his career over the past few months, having narrowly made the cut at the Memorial Tournament, only to finish in last place.
