Top NewsChinese President Meets U.S. Business Delegation1 in BeijingAnchorChinese President Xi Jinping has sat down with a number of entrepreneurs and former officials from the United States here in Beijing ahead of his forthcoming trip to the US next week.
ReporterThe meeting among President Xi and U.S. delegates in Beijing is part of a regular round of talks held among Chinese and U.S. business leaders and former officials.
Addressing the meeting, Xi Jinping has told the group the relationship between China and the United States needs to be one based on mutual3 cooperation.
The talks themselves have focused mainly on issues such as bilateral4 relations, trade and infrastructure5 investment.
Zeng Peiyan, Chair of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, says the talks are a good way to get both sides more involved.
"President Xi Jinping's full recognition of the talks is very motivating. We are facing a long and arduous6 journey ahead. I believe through continued collaboration7, we can deepen understanding, strengthen communications, reach more consensuses10 and enjoy more fruitful results."Thomas Donohue, President of the U.S. Chamber11 of Commerce, says the relationship between China and the US is one of mutual dependence12.
"Our nations share one of the most important and interdependent relationship in the world, our economies are closely tied, and how we work together will have a very (impact) on the strength and stability of the global economy."Issues such as cyber security and regional territorial13 disputes have been dominating the headlines in recent months.
US Chamber Chief Tom Donahue says he believes these are issues which can be solved.
"Now the conflicts and disagreements between our nations must be acknowledged and must be addressed, our leaders must work through these differences, but these differences must not undermine the great potential for collaboration. We know that this kind of leadership is possible because it's been modeled here in the dialogue, CEOs and former officials from both countries have engaged in candid14 and constructive15 exchanges, through the process we'll build mutual trust and understanding and have come up with concrete ideas for moving forward."Xi Jinping is due to meet with US President Barack Obama in Washington next Friday.
Aside from cyber security and territorial issues, the two leaders are expected to address a number of other key issues, including nuclear issues in Iran and on the Korean peninsula, as well as trade and investment.

China, US Climate Summit EndsA China-US Climate Summit has come to a close in Los Angeles.
Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi has led the Chinese delegation.
He says the focus of the meetings in LA was focused mostly on implementing16 last year's agreement announced at last year's APEC meeting in Beijing.
"Climate change is a major challenge in the world, and is the common responsibility of all mankind to address it. The state visit by President Obama to China last October achieved fruitful results. The two heads of state reached a consensus9 on climate change and released a China-U.S. Joint17 Statement on Climate Change. This summit is an important step in implementing that statement."U.S. Vice18 President Joe Biden says action by both China and the US will be key in getting a global climate change agreement signed in Paris in December.
"Our leadership is vital, China and America, in achieving successful global climate agreement in Paris. The steps announced here unite our efforts, give us the momentum19 to reach these global agreements. We must learn from Kyoto and Copenhagen. We must reach an agreement that is ambitious, effective and drive down global emissions20 in the decades to come."The two-day summit in Los Angeles has been attended by delegates from some 30 local governments from both countries.
They've been given specific objectives on energy conservation and emissions reductions.
As an example, the city of Los Angeles is planning to lower its greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 by 45 percent from 1990 levels.
Beijing expects its carbon dioxide emissions will peak by 2020.
China ODI data shows more impressive growthAnchorNew stats show the United States has become the third largest destination for Chinese investment.
The figures are contained in a report which has reviewed outbound direct investment from China through last year.
CRI's Niu Honglin has more.
ReporterAccording to the report, China's foreign direct investment reached 123 billion U.S. dollars in 2014, a 14 percent annual increase.
Zhang Xiangchen, the International Trade Deputy Representative from the Ministry21 of Commerce, says the numbers also indicate a continuous increase of Chinese investment into the United States.
"As of the end of 2014, China has set up three thousand enterprises in the United States, with investment of $65 billion US dollars. The outbound direct investment stock was 38 billion, accounting22 for 58% of the total investment stock. The United States has become China's third-largest destination for foreign investment, after Hong Kong and Australia."The official notes that as the two countries are currently negotiating on the Bilateral Investment Treaty, the number is expected to further grow.
"During the new round of negotiations24, representatives from both China and the United States have exchanged and evaluated the updated negative list. From our perspective, though the negotiation23 is still in process, both sides have already made substantive25 improvements. The US Security Review has been concerned over the Chinese government and enterprises. We will urge the US to simplify procedures, add more transparency in the process, and reduce unnecessary troubles and barriers for Chinese companies to invest in the US."According to the Zhang, the BIT marks an important step in opening China's economy to U.S. investment by eliminating market barriers, and leveling the playing field for American workers and businesses.
And on the other hand, Zhang Xiangchen says it could be a boost for Chinese investors26 wanting to explore the U.S. markets.
When it comes to whether to invest in the US, Chinese enterprises think more about the long-term development of the company itself. It is a strategic decision concerning many factors. The host country's macroeconomic policies, including interest rate policies are certainly under their consideration. However, what company's eventually do is to think from the perspective of the global industrial layout, consider what their business needs, and then find their own appropriate development opportunities.
Statistics showed in the first 8 month of the year that China's investment in the U.S. totaled more than 4.4 billion U.S. dollars, up nearly 36 percent from the same period last year.

Chinese Textile Company Becomes an Important Job Source for Local AmericansAnchorA Chinese company is hoping to help revive the textile industry in a community in the southeastern US state of South Carolina.
CRI's Qi Zhi reports.
ReportHangzhou-based Keer Group became the first Chinese textile maker28 to set up a subsidiary in the US 7-months ago.
Its US branch, the Keer America Corporation, is located in Lancaster County, South Carolina.
Its establishment has created a new series of job opportunities for people in the community.
"Because I have a kid and a part-time job. And that doesn't work out so well""This plant is a lot cleaner, a lot cleaner."Textile manufacturing had been a backbone29 industry in Lancaster County for decades.
However, that ended 8-years ago when local textile giant Springs Mills went bankrupt after 120 years of operation, leaving thousands unemployed30.
Bob Bundy, Chair of the Lancaster County Council, says getting people back to work is critical.
"The unemployment number during the height of the depression era or so was up in the mid-teens, like 15 percent or 16 percent, which is very, very high. I think it's a fundamental thing that people need to be working and producing."The Chinese company's plant produces around 60 tons of yarn31 every day.
Wang Ke, plant manager, says setting up a branch in the US not only helps lower their production costs, but also gives them access to the global market.
"We are very confident in expanding our market. Keer deals with Chinese clients when we are in China. But here in the US, we've brought in an advanced management and manufacturing team, and we're ready to deal with clients from around the world."While the management team may be prepared to deal with the international community, getting the local workforce33 on-board does have its challenges.
Otis Perkins is a workshop director for Keer America Corporation.
"Where they work, company comes first over everything. Unfortunately, some Americans don't think that way, they think of their life, their kids, their children and that comes first. And then the company."Despite the challenges in the new market, Keer America Corporation still has plans to expand its production in Lancaster County, which will mean employing more workers in the near future.

China refutes Japan's accusation34 of gas exploration in E. China SeaThe Chinese government is rebuffing Japanese accusations35 that Chinese gas exploration work is taking place in a disputed part of the East China Sea.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has issued a statement, saying Japan has no right to make irresponsible comments.
It also says comments such as this won't help tensions in the East China Sea.
The Japanese side has been on-record saying the gas exploration in the East China Sea has been taking place in Chinese-controlled waters, and had no issue with the work until this point.
China-Malaysia Joint Drills UnderwayJoint military drill between China and Malaysia are underway in the Strait of Malacca.
Chinese military observer Li Jie says the drills will help contribute to regional stability.
"The drill in an unprecedented36 scale is significant to the stability of the region and the Strait of Malacca. It can also play a special role in helping37 ease the situation in the South China Sea."The drills are being touted38 as the largest bilateral military exercise ever between China and a country from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The Strait of Malacca is one of the world's most heavily-traveled waterways, with over 90-thousand vessels40 passing through it every year, carrying about one-fourth of the world's traded goods.
However, piracy in the Strait of Malacca is still rampant41, despite long-term efforts by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
China to Toughen Officials' Responsibility in Environmental ProtectionThe Chinese government is putting more pressure on government officials when it comes to protecting the environment.
As part of a series of new regulations, officials are going to be held more accountable if don't enforce regulations or approve projects which pose a risk to the environment.
Gao Xuanmin with the Ministry of Environmental Protection is describing the new regulations as a 'sharp sword.'
"The regulations contain requirements for those in both the party and the government. It focuses mostly on officials who have been designated as 'a key few'. It specifies42 who will be held accountable, in what situations they will be held accountable and how they will be held accountable. It draws a red line of responsibilities for officials in ecological43 protection. The document is a sharp sword to ensure officials are correctly performing their duties and exercising their authority."Corruption44 and lax enforcement of environmental regulations are often cited as the main factors behind environmental problems, particularly in China's less-developed regions.
UN Commends China's Performance on Eliminating Parent to Children Transmission of HIVAnchorThe United Nations is lauding45 the progress being made here in China to bring down HIV infection rates among newborns over the past decade.
CRI's Yu Yang has more.
ReporterSpeaking at the forum46 held this week in Beijing, Doctor Song Li with China's National Health and Family Planning Commission, says the HIV infection rate among newborns is down by some 80-percent over the past decade.
"In 2014, over 1,200 children, or 94% of all babies who were at the risk of mother-baby infection, were born free of the virus. Mother to child transmission rates have dropped by 80% since the intervention47 measures were brought in."Doctor Song Li says further steps are also being taken to bring those numbers even lower.
"For more than a decade, we've been looking for a new way to reduce transmission rates. We feel HIV infections can be effectively controlled by providing comprehensive intervention services to pregnant women and by including HIV tests into our regular maternal48 health care."Craig McClure, UNICEF's Chief of HIV/Aids, says the results seen in China are very commendable49.
"The transmission rate from a pregnant woman living with HIV to her baby, on average was close to 50 percent, either during pregnancy50, during the delivery of the baby or during the breast feeding period. So driving down the transmission rate in China to 6.1 percent, is quite an achievement."The UN's "Prevention of Parent-to-child Transmission of HIV" program was launched in China in Shangcai County in Henan.
This is an area of China with a high prevalence of HIV infections.
This year, the intervention program has been carried out nationwide.
The HIV testing rate in China last year among pregnant women was close to 99 percent.
Antiviral drug usage among HIV infected pregnant women has come in at around 83-percent.
Vladanka Andreeva, Regional Strategic Intervention Adviser51 for UNAIDS, says the percentage in China is much higher than in other countries in Asia-Pacific.
"The regional average is that 44 percent of pregnant women in Asia-Pacific know their status. And it is 98 percent to 99 percent coverage52 in China. You see the effort and commitment of the Chinese government. Incredible result in any case."Doctor Ying-Ru Lo with World Health Organization suggests more inter-governmental consultations53 will help bring mother-to-child infection rates even lower.
"Just to give you an example, Thailand is one of the countries in the Southeast Asian region of WHO who's performing very well. I think the best would be, if we could arrange interviews, with those delegates from Thailand, and dialogue on how Thailand and China could collaborate54 and work together."More than 20 countries in the Asia-Pacific have come together at this week's forum in Beijing.

Amazon China to Source UK Brands to Chinese CustomersAnchorAmazon China has signed a new agreement with UK Trade & Investment to bring UK brands to Chinese online consumers.
CRI's London Correspondent Duan Xuelian finds out more.
ReporterAmazon China has signed the memorandum55 of understanding with UK's government department UKTI to jointly56 help UK businesses export their products to China.
It's been announced at this year's Global Investment Conference in London.
As part of the MoU, the two sides have agreed to help UK businesses enter the global market, with key export destinations including China and India.
Dr Catherine Raines, Chief Executive of UKTI, says China has always been a priority market among UK businesses.
She says the collaboration with Amazon China is one of the latest initiatives by UKTI to help UK businesses tap the booming e-commerce market in China.
"So if I look at simply what the UK government has done in the last two years, we've gone from a position where we were supporting about 300 million pounds' worth of export to nearly 4 billion in just two years so it's gone up ten fold. And that's just the businesses that the government is supporting, so you can imagine what have happened to the rest of business. And there is a fantastic relationship between the two countries at the highest level that really wants to make that happen."British government has a goal of helping 100-thousand new businesses begin exporting by 2020.
Last year, Amazon China launched a global store program, which gave Chinese customers access to millions of products sourced directly from Amazon's US website.
This move tripled Amazon's overseas sales in less than a year.
Doug Gurr, President of Amazon China, says the decision to extend their global store to allow the UK and the rest of Europe tap Chinese consumers.
"The reason we have high confidence in the UK is because we look very carefully at the data of, for example, China customers visiting our UK site, so we have good information to know that which brands they are interested in, which brands they are searching for, which brands we therefore believe could be highly successful in China."When it comes to competing with Chinese online retailers59 Alibaba and JD.com, Doug Gurr says Amazon China has some advantages.
"When we talk about, for example, exports of British brands to China, that would be us that leveraging60 the fact that all of those brands pretty much work with us in the UK and so what we are doing is saying to them 'you work with us in the UK, we know who you are and we absolutely know we are sourcing from the brand manufacture' and those are the products we will bring to customers in China. And that's the single most important thing which is when you say to a customer what we are doing is connecting you not through maybe four or three different layers of middle people, we are connecting you directly with the brand owner."Amazon China has been promising61 3-day delivery on certain overseas products since August.
For CRI, I'm Duan Xuelian in LondonChile declares earthquake emergency as death toll62 rises to 10AnchorA state of emergency has been declared in central Chile where around a million people have been evacuated63 following a massive earthquake which rattled65 the region Wednesday evening, local time.
The death toll from the massive 8.3-magnitude quake right now sits at 11.
CRI's Poornima Weerasekara has more.
ReporterIn the coastal66 town of Coquimbo, 15 foot waves hit the shore-line after a tsunami67 was triggered by the 8.3 magnitude earthquake that rocked the area on Wednesday night.
Tsunami waves also hit the Chilean coast further north and south, and were also registered as far away as Alaska and New Zealand.
The quake - the strongest in the world so far this year - lasted for more than three minutes.
It hit about 40-kilometers off-shore, but was strong enough to rattle64 homes all along the central coast of Chile.
"This is astonishing, no one could imagine so much destruction. The sea came in with such a violent force. I just don't know. We are going to go and check out our business to see how it fared and well, start cleaning."The heavy waves that followed have caused flooding in coastal towns, as well as knocking out power in the worst hit areas of central Chile, leaving thousands without electricity.
"Everything was totally flooded. The mud came in and overtook everything. There's just nothing to do. We are going to have just start cleaning."The quake has so far spawned68 hundreds of aftershocks, with at least 40 of them at magnitudes greater than 5.0.
Over a million people have been evacuated from the coastline as authorities seek to avoid the same mistakes they made after a similar deadly earthquake five years ago.
Hundreds died in a powerful earthquake in Chile in 2010 because authorities were too slow to issue a tsunami warning.
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, who has already traveled to the region, says this time the response has been better.
"Everyone has said, I understand, that this is the sixth strongest earthquake in Chile's history, the strongest earthquake this year and among the strongest in the world. But despite this, with the information that we have is that the response has been good and this is noted69 because there have been earlier times where the response has not been efficient.
Quake-prone Chile has strict building regulations so most of the newer, bigger building in Illapel, the city closest to the quake's epicenter, managed to withstand the shaking.
Cracks have appeared in many of them.
Authorities say this will delay the resettling of hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced.
The post-quake reconstruction71 bill is expected to easily run into the 10's of millions of US dollars.
This could rattle Chile's fragile economy that has barely managed to stay ahead of a recession which has been spreading across much of Latin America.

The bill has been approved following a chaotic74 session, carried live on television, in which opposition75 lawmakers tried physically76 to block the vote.
Vice secretary general of the Democratic Party, Tetsuro Fukuyama, vented78 his anger after the bill was passed without debate.
"We absolutely cannot accept this. It truly ignores the voice of the people."Outside parliament, thousands of demonstrators have been demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Thursday's vote clears the way for the bill's final approval.
However, opposition parties have been using delaying tactics to try to keep the bills from passing before parliament adjourns79 on September 27th.

U.S. Federal Reserve leaves key interest rate unchangedAnchor In a move which has caught some off-guard, the US Federal Reserve has decided95 to leave interest rates unchanged for the time being.
It follows months of anticipation96 that September would likely be the month the Fed decided to move up interest rates for the first time in some 9-years.
Our Nick Harper has more from New York.
ReporterTo raise or not to raise. That was the question as Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen arrived for the second and final day of discussions.
But in a 9 to 1 vote the Fed officials decided the economy is not quite strong enough to handle a rise, as Janet Yellen explained.
"In light of heightened uncertainties97 abroad and the slightly softer expected path for inflation the committee judged it appropriate to wait for more evidence."There's never an obvious, easy time to raise rates. But the feeling was now is certainly not the right moment.
Several weeks of volatile98 global stocks markets, prompted by problems in China and the devaluing of its currency, left many Fed watchers, like Douglas McIntyre of 24/7 Wall St, convinced a September rise was not viable99.
"Outside the United States, the facts right now, the stock markets, the price of oil, currencies, so I think they had an eye on China where there could be a lot of trouble."The Fed has left rates unchanged at nearly zero since the 2008 financial crisis.
On Thursday it said it still wants to see a stronger labor8 market and feel more confident of a return to 2% inflation.
Ahead of the announcement Wall St rallied, seemingly convinced a rate hike was no longer likely.
Yet some analysts100 like Charles Ortel, the Managing Director of Newport Value Partners, feel the Fed needs to get on with what it's been threatening, in an attempt to help balance the books.
"People are beginning to understand that equities101, common stock prices, the prices are pushed way too high. And they've been supported by these low interest rates. Governments can not keep them forever low. When governments get in trouble, when currencies get in trouble, they have to raise interest rates and that's what we're in now, a global interconnected financial crisis."The Fed next meet in October, but there are some predictions that rates may now be on hold until the New Year.
"You're not going to have a big change in the American economy in the next 3, 5, 6 months because there's no catalyst102. What's going to happen? And the answer is nothing. So again I think the Fed is looking outside the US and asking themselves the governors, are there things that could impact the entire world."The run up to this Fed D-Day has really been all about the hype.
Months of anticipation, weeks of speculation103.
But when it came down to it the Fed decision day was like every other in recent years - no change for interest rates.

Europe is the defending champion.
European captain Carin Koch.
"My players come from different backgrounds and the Solheim Cup bring them together to a team that has the unique opportunity to represent this great continent - Europe. Everybody on this team will make memories for life, and as a captain it is very fulfilling to see them together in unity27, harmony and lots of laughter... and I'm sure that will show in their games this weekend." Team USA captain Juli Inkster says they're hoping to take back the trophy123 for the first time since 2009.
"When I was asked to be captain of the Solheim Cup I couldn't wait to get started. It has been everything I thought it would be and more. The best part of this journey is being alongside my team." The Solheim Cup is the Women's golf version of the Ryder Cup.

Colsaerts Takes Two-shot Lead at Italy OpenIn golf,Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts hit birdies on 8 straight holes on his way to an opening-round 9-under-63 at the Italian Open.
The 32-year-old holds a 2-stroke lead heading into the 2nd round today.
His streak124 of 8 birdies in-a-row is only the 11th time a player has done that on the European Tour.
"Well, you don't really think about anything, you know you're playing quite well, you know you're taking the chances that you give yourself. It all felt pretty easy because, I mean, except for a long putt I holed on the second, which was my eleven, all the rest was very holeable and I was hitting the right shots and I kept it, you know, very tidy around the hole which kind of made sense to me that I would have so many birdies in a row." Colsaerts is looking for his first win since the World Match Play Championship in 2012.
Former Italian Open champion Francesco Molinari, India's Shiv Kapur and Sweden's Kristoffer Broberg are tied for second at minus-7.
