Top NewsNew Guideline on China's SOE Reforms ReleasedAnchorA new series of plans have been laid out by the Chinese government to try to streamline7 this country's state-owned sector to make it more market-oriented.
CRI's Xie Cheng has more.
ReporterAccording to the guideline, major reforms in SOE's key areas will be achieved by 2020, when SOEs are expected to be more robust8 and influential9 and have greater ability to avoid risks.
Speaking at a press conference this morning, Zhang Xiwu, vice10 chairman of State-owned Assets Supervision11 and Administration Commission, says 6 major tasks will be focused on regarding the deepening of SOE reforms.
"We should promote classified reform, modernize12 SOEs, enhance state assets management, promote mixed ownership, prevent the state assets from erosion, and strengthen and improve the Communist Party's leadership of SOEs. The reform should also be conducted in an open and transparent13 way. The policy, schemes, measures and the process of the SOE reform must be made public and be monitored by the people."The basis and starting point of the reforms is to turn the SOEs into fully14 independent market entities15, as well as to incite16 and release the enterprises' vitality17.
The government will also consolidate18 and clean up some SOEs for better resource allocation.
One of the highlights of the guideline is that mixed-ownership reform becomes the most significant means to improve the SOEs' efficiency.
Lian Weiliang, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission, says multiple types of investors19 will be brought in by SOEs and encouraged to go public, though no specific timetable will be set.
"First of all, non-state firms will be encouraged to join the process in various ways, including buying stakes and convertible20 bonds from or conducting share rights swaps21 with SOEs. Secondly22, SOEs will be encouraged to invest in their non-state counterparts. Thirdly, SOEs will also be allowed to experiment with selling shares to their employees."The mixed-ownership reform will promote new technology, management and business models for SOEs.
In the meantime, the guideline also mentions that SOEs will be divided into two categories, for-profit entities and those dedicated23 to public welfare.
The former will be market-based and stick to commercial operations and should aim to increase state-owned assets and boost the economy, while the latter will exist to improve people's quality of life and provide public goods and services.

China to Pilot State-asset Investment and Operating CompaniesAnchorThe Chinese government has outlined some of its new plans for reforms in the state-owned sector, including allowing some of them to set up their own investment divisions.
CRI's Luo Wen reports.
ReporterXu Hongcai, assistant Minister of Finance, says more than 110 State-owned firms currently administered by the State Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission are going to be allowed to set up their own investment arms, much like Singapore's Temasek.
"Under the new system, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission can authorize24 these companies to be shareholders25 of state-owned enterprises operating core businesses. The companies will serve as a layer between the government and the market."The government began testing this model earlier this year in the Province of Shandong.
Shandong Luxin Investment Holdings Group and Shandong State-owned Assets Investment Holdings have been set up to act as investment arms for state-run companies in that province.
Professor Zhang Chunxiao with the Chinese Academy of Governance says the creation of these types of investment companies will help with efficiency.
"State-owned enterprises turning into independent market entities will help maintain and increase the value of state assets. At the same time, state assets regulators on different levels will have more time to focus on how to better supervise and manage state assets. In this way, SOEs' operating efficiency is improved and so is the supervision efficiency."Li Daxiao, chief economist26 with Yingda Securities, says he believes the move will also help stabilize27 the stock markets.
"State-owned enterprises dominate China's A-share market. The guideline to deepen reforms of state-owned enterprises offers these companies more freedom to ensure their own future development. The reforms will gradually enhance the SOE's efficiency and should increase the valuation of their shares. Consequently, the A-share market, particularly among the blue chip stocks, will be more stable."The new SOE reform agenda also calls for a gradual move to mixed ownership of SOE's.
It comes as the profits of state-owned companies continue to narrow.

Netizens Fury over Defaced Forbidden City VatAnchorA new spotlight30 has been turned on bad behavior among Chinese tourists following an old royal vat in the Forbidden City in Beijing has been defaced by a couple attempting to display their love.
CRI's Qi Zhi reports.
ReporterThe victimized water vat is located in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City.
The names scratched into the vat appear to be "Zhang Tao and Liu Ya," and are carved between two handles on the over 300-year-old bronze relic31, surrounded by a heart-shaped outline.
Shan Jixiang, Director of the Palace Museum, says police have been called in to investigate.
"We've invited professionals to assess the damage and have reported it to the police. Tourist misbehavior has been on the decline in recent years, but precautionary measures will be kept in place to prevent such things from taking place again. The offending tourists should be publicly shamed."Police are calling on the couple to turn themselves in.
Around two years ago, a Chinese national sparked outrage33 after he wrote his name on an ancient carving34 at the Luxor Temple in Egypt.
And the damaged vat this time is not the first in the Forbidden City to fall victim of defacement.
Shen Lixia with the Palace Museum still remembers a similar incident back in 2013.
"The written words read 'Liang Qiqi came here for a visit.' Through our efforts, the characters were eventually removed. Fortunately, that incident didn't leave any permanent damage to the iron vat."Tour guide Sun Yan says while they constantly remind tourists to follow the rules, some will still end up breaking the rules.
"Earlier this summer, a number of tourists jumped over the fence, some threw cigarette butts35 into the vats36 after breaking the smoking ban in the Forbidden City. I think more should be done to improve the management and better protect the relics."Shan Jixiang with the Palace Museum says they've set up their own blacklist to ensure offenders37 can't become repeat offenders.
"Visitors need to register their names when buying tickets. Those who behave badly in the museum will be blacklisted and not allowed entry ever again. This step has done a lot to help ensure order."A crackdown on inscribing38 one's name on the Great Wall began nearly a decade ago after it was found that a growing number of tour groups who were visiting sections of the so-called Wild Wall, or areas which have not been restored, were carving their names.
Violators now face fines of up to 50-thousand yuan.
It's being suggested that fine should be extended to other cultural sites across China, as the current fine is only 200 yuan.

iPhone 6S meets challenge from other iPhones, domestic smart phones in ChinaAnchorA new survey conducted in Shanghai is suggesting there may be a lack of enthusiasm here in China toward the latest roll-out of Apple's iPhone design.
ReporterJust two days after Apple released its latest iPhone upgrade, the iPhone 6S, reporters in Shanghai did a straw poll survey of locals around the city to gauge40 the reaction.
While certainly not scientific, the lack of enthusiasm is quite evident.
"Apple's strategy is to have very few updates in its new models from the previous ones. So for me as a long-time Apple user, I don't think I need to buy the new one because there's not much difference.""I think there are fewer and fewer innovations in the iPhone. At least nothing which surprises me. On the other hand, a lot of domestic phones are becoming quite good, and sell at reasonable prices. Why should I give all my money to the foreigners?"Mobile industry analysts42 note it's been Apple's strategy to roll out a dramatically upgraded new mobile product every two years, and to promote a minor43 upgrade to their latest device in the interim44.
But some are suggesting the ability to upgrade the technology may have hit a bottle-neck.
Wang Yang is the director of IHS Technology.
"Electronic products, including mobile phones, have reached a phase where it takes longer to innovate45; most of the upgrades are only small ones. It's just like the PC industry. Once the product becomes more mature, there will be less and less room for hardware innovation."Other Apple products, however, do remain quite popular in the Shanghai market.
Many mobile retailers47 in Shanghai cut their prices for the iPhone6 and the 5S by as much as 20-percent as soon as iPhone6S was released.
Sales for these products immediately increased.
Zhu Xiang, director of Yolo Home Appliances in Shanghai, the strategy has worked fairly well.
"This morning we sold around 20 to 30 units, and we estimate it will reach 70 to 80 by the evening. That's triple our usual sales."Apple launches its new products every September.
This makes the third quarter a hot season for other tech brands to try to beat them to the punch.
Almost a dozen domestic phone makers50, including Coolpad, Huawei and Smartisan have launched or are planning launches for their new phones.
Wang Yang from IHS says most of these phones are popular among those who want to have a second or third mobile phone.
"iPhones only have a single SIM card slot, but many people, especially in business, tend to have several SIM cards for different uses. So what we've seen is more and more people are buying an iPhone, and then also buying a quality smartphone that sells for around a thousand yuan. This is an area where domestic phone makers can make headway."While the iPhone6S may not surpass its previous generations' popularity in China, the country is still one of Apple's biggest markets.
Industry observers are suggesting China could wind up with around 30-percent of all iPhone6S orders around the world in the first 24 hours after the launch of the new iPhone.

New Growth Engine Emerging in HunanOfficials in Hunan's capital, Changsha, have designated a core district in the city as the new engine of growth for the city, and the whole of the province.
Wangcheng District is already home to a growing pharmaceutical52 sector, as well as nonferrous metal processing, manufacturing and logistics.
Li Yanbo, the district's chief planner, says they expect more companies to begin gravitating to Wangcheng District under their new plans.
"Each of the four sub-districts north of the Xiang River has set a specific direction for development. They are competing and also cooperating with each other, ensuring a bright prospect53 for the city."More than 300 companies from abroad have already set up branches in the district, with total output hitting 65 billion yuan last year.
China, UK and US join forces on human gene51 editingIt's been announced a group of Chinese scientists are going to be joining an expert panel later this year to lay out guidelines for a controversial new procedure connected to human genome research.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences will join other scientists from the UK and the US at an international summit in Washington in early December to discuss a process called human gene 'editing.'
'Editing' is a new process which has been developed which can allow scientists to alter the smallest parts of human DNA54.
This process can allow scientists to alter the human genetic55 code to allow scientists to potentially eliminate genetic-based diseases.
However, the scientists will be meeting to discuss the ethical56 and social ramifications57 of the advancement58, with a report due to be released sometime next year.
This, after Tony Abbott was ousted as head of the Liberal Party by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull in an internal party ballot60 last night.
Turnbull, who will become the country's fourth prime minister in just over 2-years, says Australia needs a strong economic leadership.
"We need to have in this country, and we will have now, an economic vision, a leadership that explains the great challenges and opportunities that we face, describes the way in which we can handle those challenges, seize those opportunities, and does so in a manner that the Australian people understand, so that we are seeking to persuade rather than seeking to lecture."Turnbull had previously61 been leader of the Liberal Party while in opposition62, but was ousted by Abbott in 2009.
Abbott survived a previous leadership challenge in February.
However, his government has consistently been behind the opposition Labor63 Party in the opinion polls, leading to the challenge.
Abbott has been criticized for not being inclusive enough among his cabinet members.
EU Refugees PackageAnchorEuropean Union ministers meeting in Brussels have been unable to agree on a quota64 system to distribute an additional 120 thousand asylum65 seekers across the bloc66.
ReporterHungary is tightening67 controls on its border with Serbia - across which they've already built a 4 meter high barbed wire fence.
Causing refugees to rush to make the crossing into the European Union.
Meanwhile EU ministers meeting in Brussels were trying to find agreement on a plan to share the burden of asylum seekers - who arrive in Hungary, Greece and Italy - through a quota system of 120 thousand places in other EU countries.
Dimitris Avramoplous - EU Commissioner68 for Home Affairs and Migration"We formally, as the president said before, adopted the decision to relocate 40 thousand refugees from Italy and Greece but for our proposal on 120 thousand we did not have the agreement we wanted."The quota system is heavily opposed by eastern EU states as they say it will encourage more refugees to come.
While the European Union continues to try to resolve the deepening refugee crisis, many here say it is calling into question the core values of the bloc, of solidarity69 and compassion70. But it's also raising questions about whether EU's border free zone can survive.
The meeting came while a number of EU countries like Germany, Austria, Slovakia and The Netherlands temporarily reimposed border checks to try to control the flows of refugees - free movement between most EU nations has been unrestricted since 1995.
Kris Pollet - Senior Legal & Policy Officer at ECRE (The European Council on Refugees and Exiles)"There is a lot of political discourse71 about solidarity and responsibility sharing and that this is a problem that is common to all of Europe and Europe should tackle this together, there is a lot of nice words but in reality we do see that as soon as the temperature is rising in terms of the numbers of refugees arriving, states do tend to their own national interests."Most of the refugees entering the EU are from conflict torn countries like Eritrea, Somalia and Syria - and while the EU struggles to find a collective response, many more are continuing to arrive.

DPRK hints at satellites launchIt's being suggested North Korea may be preparing to attempt a new long-range ballistic missile.
This follows a report in North Korean state media, which is quoting an official with the North Korean Aerospace72 Development Administration as saying they're accelerating their efforts to put new satellites into space.
This is fueling speculation73 the DPRK may be preparing to launch a rocket to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the ruling Korean Workers Party, which falls on October 10th.
However, South Korean observers say they've not yet detected any signals the North may be preparing for a missile launch.
Previous moves by the DPRK to put a satellite into space have met with sanctions, as they are viewed as covert74 attempts to test the North's long-range missile capabilities75.
Iran Ready for International Cooperation over Nuclear Programme: Head of Iran's Nuclear AgencyThe head of Iran's nuclear agency says Tehran is ready for "extended international cooperation" in its nuclear energy program.
Ali Akbar Salehi has made the statement at the opening session of the International Atomic Energy Agency's annual General Assembly in Vienna.
"In this session of the general conference, which also coincides with Iran's nuclear deal, I would like to make known our readiness for extended international cooperation with other members and all fields of peaceful uses of nuclear energy with priority based on nuclear safety, within of course the existing IAEA regulations."The finalization76 of the Iran nuclear deal will see a reduction of sanctions against Iran connected to its nuclear programs.
It may also allow more room for international cooperation with Iran when it comes to its nuclear power production.
Japan's upper house to vote on controversial security bills this weekAnchorThis week is expected to see the Japanese government finalize78 the passage of its controversial security bills that would allow its troops to fight abroad for the first time since World War Two.
CRI's Poornima WeerasekaraReporterJapan's upper house of parliament is set to vote on the controversial legislation this week, which will dramatically change the country's defense79 policy and allow its troops to fight abroad, despite significant public opposition to the move.
Those opposing the bill point out that Japan's military past is still a thorn in relations with its neighbors even after 70 years.
"Japan has a history of invasion, therefore, regardless of any reason, I do not want Japan to become capable of that again."Despite big public protests, Abe's ruling bloc wants to pass the security bills before parliament ends its session on September 27.
A vote in the upper house is expected this week.
A poll carried out by one of Japan's leading private newspapers, the Asahi Shimbun showed that 54 percent of respondents opposed the legislation, while 29 percent backed it. 68 percent saw no need to enact80 the bills during the current Parliamentary session.
But those supporting the bill voiced fear of China's rise in power.
"I feel worried whenever I read about China's rising military strength, and I think we will have a hard time if we don't match their power."Abe has vowed81 to pass the controversial legislation. In July his government pushed a group of bills through parliament's lower house that lets Japan's armed forces defend an ally under attack.
China and Japan have had long unresolved territorial82 disputes over the Diaoyu islands in the East China Sea, souring relations between the two countries.
The United States, Japan's closest ally however, has welcomed Abe's move as vital to meet the so-called new security challenges in the region.
Christopher Hobson, assistant professor of International Politics at Tokyo's Waseda University, says part of the reason for the security bill is due to fears that the United States will not be as reliable a partner in future.
"The United States is declining in power following wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and also, economic problems. So, there is an increasing concern about whether the United States is as reliable an ally as it used to be."But Hobson says the new security bills are unconstitutional, since Japan's current post-war pacifist constitution bans the use of military force.
"What the LDP (the ruling Liberal Democratic Party) has done is, they tried to reinterpret the constitution which is widely considered by most of the experts to be unconstitutional."Last week, Japan's Defense Ministry84 submitted a request for a 2.2 percent increase in its military spending for the coming year. If approved, the new defense budget at just over 5 trillion yen85 or some 42 billion US Dollars would be Japan's biggest in 14 years.
For CRI I'm Poornima WeerasekaraMexican Foreign Minister on Deaths of Tourists in EgyptMexico's government is calling for an immediate48 investigation86 into the deaths of a number of Mexican nationals in Egypt.
This, after Egyptian security forces mistakenly fired on a group of tourists in Egypt's southwestern desert on Sunday.
It's believed the attack left a dozen tourists dead, including as many as 8 Mexican nationals.
Mexican Foreign Minister Claudia Massieu says Egyptian officials are promising87 a full investigation.
"The Mexican government asks the Egyptian authorities to grant the clarification of this matter the highest priority and urgency, and to give the Mexican embassy in Cairo and its staff all that they need to carry out their duties and support all those affected88 for their future repatriation89 to Mexico. The ambassador of Egypt told me that his government is establishing an investigative committee that will be led by the prime minister himself and the results will be published."The Egyptian military fired on the tourists after mistaking them for terror suspects who were in a group of trucks similar to the ones the tourists were in.
