Top NewsThe Cooperation between China and U.S. Benefits Both the Two Countries and the World: Marc-AllenAnchor:
The senior vice1 president of aircraft maker2 Boeing says win-win cooperation between China and the US will benefit the entire world.
Bertrand Marc-Allen made the remark ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit, with his first stop in the US including a visit to the Boeing Company in Seattle City.
CRI's Zhao Jianfu has more.
Reporter:
During an exclusive interview with China Radio International, Bertrand Marc-Allen said he is excited about the visit by President Xi.
"The opportunity to host the president is historic--the 1970s, 1990s, 2006--this is just the fourth time in four decades. So we recognize the significance, the consequence and the importance of the visit. It will be a successful visit. I have absolutely no doubt. "Marc-Allen says the newly implemented4 "One Belt, One Road" initiatives and U.S. President Barack Obama's earlier visit to China last November have facilitated cooperation between the two countries, to the benefit of the global economy.
He says the U.S. business community is expecting good news from President Xi's upcoming visit, especially regarding the Bilateral5 Investment Treaty currently being negotiated.
"I think all the CEOs will be talking about the value of the economic relationship, about their interests and seeing Bilateral Investment Treaty completed. I think all the CEOs will be focused on explaining the breadth and depth of their own China operations. "Marc-Allen says he believes that fluctuations6 in finance markets and adjustments in foreign exchange rates are common, as China is transforming from export-oriented economy to consumer economy.
He also calls China a major force for global economic development, despite its temporary economic slowdown.
"For all of us, the real take of the last two years have been how much emerging markets are going to count on, depend on the bilateral relationship between China and the U.S. for their own strength. As our bilateral relationship is strong and healthy, our economic relationship will be stronger and healthier for it. And as our economy is strong, that will create the demand from developing economies that help them continue to grow."The Boeing Company, located in the Seattle, Washington, has always been favored by Chinese leaders.
Former leaders, including Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, all visited the company in person during their visits to the Unites States.
For CRI, this is Zhao Jianfu.
China and US Should Work Together to Narrow Down Differences: ExpertAnchor:
In the meantime, a leading Chinese expert on Sino-US relations has also voiced a similar opinion, saying the two countries should work together to narrow differences and enhance cooperation.
CRI's Victor Ning has more.
Reporter:
Da Wei is the director of the Institute of the United States at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations.
He says the upcoming visit by President Xi Jinping is at a critical time for the two countries.
"The U.S. will soon enter its election cycle and the Obama administration has only a little more than a year left. The China-U.S relationship has entered a key period. I think President Xi's upcoming visit could narrow the difference between the two countries through cooperation to further strengthen the foundation of the relationship. It could affect Obama's remaining tenure7 and even time after that. And it will play an important role for the China-U.S. relationship in the U.S.'s next government."During President Xi's visit to the U.S. in June, 2013 the two leaders reached an agreement to jointly9 build a new relationship between the two major powers.
Xi Jinping has on several occasions talked about the importance of, and effort needed, to build this new type of relationship.
Da Wei says to achieve the goal, the two countries will need to improve communication, enhance mutual10 trust, and deepen cooperation.
"The new China-U.S. major-power relationship is one that emphasizes no conflict, no confrontation11, mutual respect and win-win cooperation. The other core and substantial content in the theory refers to that China, as a country which is rising rapidly, will need to achieve long-term peaceful coexistence and mutual development with the U.S, which is an existing great power. The goal is to maintain the sustained, sound and steady development of China-U.S. relations."The expert notes that despite different opinions on issues such as the South China Sea and cyber security, the two countries have made progress in multiple areas.
"On the bilateral level, there were frequent high-level visits between the two countries. The Chinese leaders went to the U.S. and the U.S. leaders came to China to have long conversations. Strategic economic dialogues and high-level cultural consultations13 are also developing smoothly14."The 7th China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue, held in Washington D.C. in June this year, produced ample outcomes in various economic issues, including the promise of building more open and stable financial sectors16 in both countries.

Chinese Embassy in US Launches Advertising17 Campaign to Promote ChinaThe Chinese Embassy in the United States has launched a series of advertisements highlighting China's biking culture and wildlife conservation in Washington, D.C.
The latest advertisements have been shown at 70 bike-share stations in D.C.
Many Americans showed great interest in the posters and said they would like to have a tour in China by bike.
A local resident says she would love to have a long ride in Kunming.
"There are a lot of countries that have a lot of bikers like China. I'd love to explore China especially on a bike. Southern China, like Kunming, is so beautiful and that would be really fun to go and do like a long ride, like a week ride, and go to different places looking around Kunming and see the mountains. That would be awesome18."Also, many U.S. residents say they are looking forward to President Xi Jinping's visit and hope the two countries can work together to improve the environment and people's well being.
"The U.S. and China have a lot in common. Certainly our economies are growing. It would be great for the environment and for the health and wellbeing of our citizens, if we can both do more and more biking. Our bicycle share systems can become more widespread through our cities."Another series of ads will be put on buses in the U.S capital and in parts of Maryland and Virginia on Monday.
It is the first time the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. has launched such an initiative, which aims to show and enhance people's love of nature and cycling to further promote cooperation between the two countries.
China Launches New Model of Carrier RocketChina successfully launched a new model of carrier rocket, Long March-6, on Sunday morning. The rocket, which carried 20 micro-satellites for space tests, was launched from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province.
The new rocket was fueled by a liquid propellant made of liquid oxygen and kerosene19. It is China's first carrier rocket to use fuel free of toxins20 and pollutants21.
Hao Hefeng, a technician at the launch center, says launching 20 micro-satellites at once was not an easy task.
"With 20 satellites, our tracking and control systems need to receive, process and display the information they send back. It is quite a challenge to our systems.
Hao says the engineering team behind the launch was able to meet the challenges.
"We needed very accurate, precise and reliable controls for the 20 satellites. To meet the needs, we implemented considerable changes and adjustments in our tracking and control systems, including the format22 in which the data is received and processed."Zhang Weidong, designer-in-chief at the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, says the loading, testing and positioning were completed when the rocket was in a horizontal position, instead of the traditional upright position.
Zhang says this not only boosted the competitiveness of China's carrier rockets internationally but also improved China's ability to access space.
The rocket is the 210th mission by the Long March rocket family.
China sent its first satellite into space in 1970.
UK Chancellor23 Starts China VisitThe UK Chancellor says his country is willing to further deepen economic cooperation with China and to become China's best partner in economic development.
George Osborne made the remarks in Beijing to start his week-long visit in China.
"There is phenomenal potential in this country. And where others are cautious about getting more involved with china. We say quite the reverse. We want to get more involved with China. We think this will be a source of jobs and growth of both our countries. And we want to have a golden decade and we want Britain to be China's best partner in the west."Osborne comes to China ahead of the planned state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to the UK later this year, the first such visit of a Chinese top leader in a decade.
Accompany the chancellor is Treasury24 minister Lord O'Neil, Business Secretary Sajid Javid and Energy Secretary Amber25 Russ.
Osborne will meet Chinese Vice Premier26 Ma Kai during the 7th UK-China Economic and Financial Dialogue on Monday.
He will also visit Shanghai, Chengdu, and Urumuqi.
AIIB vows27 to engage private sector15 in Asia's infrastructure28 investmentThe President of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank says all kinds of infrastructure will be financed, and the private sector will be included in these projects.
Jin Liqun says infrastructure construction is the mandate29 of the bank and much can be accomplished30.
"We may finance social infrastructure. We can finance, for instance, health. Health is [a] very important sector for many countries, particularly countries which are aging very, very quickly. And, we can even finance stand-alone environmental protection projects. We can do a lot of things which may not be fitting into the very narrow definition of infrastructure if it's interpreted in the traditional way,"Jin Liqun made the comment as he joined a summit in Singapore.
He also says the AIIB is to act as a platform for private sector investment.
"Private sector companies can also contribute because they are normally very cost-effective, and they look at the profitability, they have much less bureaucracy."The bank is expected to begin operations at the end of the year.
The first batch31 of projects are hoped to be launched no later than the second quarter of next year.
Railway to connect China, ThailandConstruction of a railway linking China and Thailand is expected to begin by the end of this year.
Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister revealed the news during the ongoing32 China-ASEAN Expo in the southern Chinese city of Nanning.
He said the project would be the first standard gauge33 railway in Thailand with a total length of 840 kilometers.
The railway from Kunming city in southwestern China will connects Thailand's Nong Khai province with Bangkok and Rayong province.
The Thai official suggested that the railway could bring about the establishment of special economic zones.
China and Malaysia Conduct Joint8 Disaster Rescue DrillThe Chinese and Malaysian militaries conducted a joint rescue exercise on Saturday.
The land drill took place in Malaysia and was based on the scenario34 that a typhoon has hit the country, forcing it to ask for external assistance.
Colonel Wang Jun from the Chinese side commented on the significance of the drill.
"A country may need international assistance when hit by severe natural disasters. A drill like this will help us improve our skills in humanitarian35 assistance and reduce losses from natural disasters."A hospital was set up, allowing medical personnel from the two countries to work together as part of the drill.
Brigadier General Razip Kamarulzaman, head of medical support for the Malaysian Armed Forces, says Malaysia can learn from the Chinese military in certain areas.
"We know that they are advanced in areas of video imaging, video conferencing, communication systems and things like that. So that's something that we can emulate36, share and learn from."Meanwhile a numbers of Chinese and Malaysian vessels37 conducted joint search and rescue and counter piracy38 drills in the Malacca Strait. Malaysia's military has said it hopes future joint exercises between the two countries can focus on other non-conventional threats, such as terrorism.
China Honors Overseas WWII Veterans in TorontoChina has honored three veterans of World War II in Toronto, Canada.
The Chinese Consulate39 General in Toronto held a ceremony on Friday, where Consul12 General Xue Bing presented medals to the veterans.
The recipients41 represent all those who made great contributions to the victory in China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression42.
Fan Mengxian, one of the veterans, expressed his appreciation43 after receiving his medal.
"Seventy years have passed and I thought everything was over. I was surprised to see that our motherland has not forgotten us and gave us such a high honor. I am very touched."According to the Consul General, five veterans were selected for the medals. However, due to physical limitations, only three attended the ceremony. The other two medals will be delivered to the recipients' homes.
A bunch of popular Chinese Apps in the Apple Store have been found to be infected with malicious code. Experts suggest iPhone users delete affected45 apps or upgrade them to the latest version.
CRI's Sophie Williams brings more details.
Reporter:
Over 350 iOS apps have been affected by the hacking47, including the widly used baidu music, wechat, and ride-haling didi.
The problem starts when some programmers don't use the Xcode program officially supplied by Apple Inc.
Instead, they downloaded Xcode program through other channels, in which has been implanted malicious code.
Cai Jingjing is from the Expert Committee of the National Vulnerability Database of Information Security.
He says apps constructed with the verified Xcode may be infected with malware.
"We wrote several simple codes with the infected Xcode, like hello world, and then compiled them into a program. A reverse analysis of the program shows the program is implanted with malicious code."Cai says once apps developed from the verified Xcode are downloaded into the phone, they will collect the phone's information, such as the name of the device, the network type, and its location.
These private information will then be uploaded to a designated website.
On early Saturday morning, an identified programmer claimed responsibility for the incident.
He made clarification online, justifying49 his actions as just an experiment, with no aim to spread a virus.
However, Lin Wei, phone security expert, doesn't believe what the programmer says, and suspects him of using the malicious codes for commercial uses.
"We found on September 10 that a massive amount of users had been affected by an app that's very popular domestically. It had been programed with malicious code, and the data had been sent back to the main engine of the virus attacker and finally led to its collapse50. The programmer was a littler fearful, and deleted and withdrew the code."The case is under further investigation51.
Apple has asked affected programmers to withdrew their infected Apps, and advised them to re-program with official Xcode.
So far, no financial losses have been reported.
Experts suggest iPhone users check their apps and delete infected apps, or at least download the latest version. Meanwhile, users are advised to change their passwords for the App Store and for iCloud.

Greece Holds Second National Elections This YearGreek voters headed to the polls on Sunday, for the second national election this year.
The turnout was thin within the first few hours after voting began.
Many Greeks have been disillusioned52 with a political process that has failed to save the country from economic turmoil53.
Some voters voiced their wish for a unified54 government to pull Greece out of its current troubles.
"I want good cooperation among the parties so that we can see something better happening. ""We, Greeks, must be united and the parties must cooperate so that there is finally a positive outcome. As Greeks we must be united and together fight those who are after us."Alexis Tsipras, former Prime Minister and leader of the left-wing Syriza Party, is running for re-election.
Tsipras resigned in August after 7 months in office, a move which forced Sunday's elections and was seen as an attempt to strengthen his power through re-election.
Final polls showed a very tight split between Tsipras and Vangelis Meimarakis of the conservative New Democracy party.
Neither party is expected to win a majority in the parliament, meaning the elected party will need to form a coalition55 government.
Early vote projections56 are expected by early Monday morning, Beijing time.
Slovenia Wants "Controlled Flow" of Migrants, Thousands More Continue into EuropeSlovenia says it will manage a "controlled flow" of migrants and refugees coming into the country.
Slovenian Prime Minister Miro Cerar made the statement while visiting a refugee registration58 center near the Croatian border on Saturday.
"It is our duty, according to agreements, to register people who arrived, check their identities and establish whether they can enter the European Union or not. If the situation grows too big and exceeds the capabilities59 of our policemen and other services, the volume of these checks might be reduced."Cerar's comments come just days after Hungary closed its border with Serbia to stop the influx60 of migrants. The move sent more than 20,000 migrants into Croatia, which has already said it was no longer able to receive any more people.
On Saturday, 1,500 migrants entered Slovenia from Croatia, while hundreds were kept at the border areas as Slovenian police are only letting in limited numbers of people.
The Slovenian prime minister on Saturday also said the country did not want violence and would treat the migrants humanely61. He added Slovenia will take in limited numbers of migrants, as the majority of them are heading to Western Europe.
Thousands more migrants are continuing to enter Macedonia, Croatia, Hungary and Austria. Hungary, which closed its border with Serbia, is allowing migrants in through the Croatian border.
Meanwhile, the high number of deaths from the perilous62 journey by boat from Turkey to the Greek islands has sent more migrants to the two countries' land borders.
On Sunday, at least 26 migrants were reportedly missing off the Greek coast after a boat sank. 20 others were rescued.
"Permanent" ceasefire reached in 3 Syrian flashpointsCeasefires have been achieved in three hot zones in Syria.
Hailed as "permanent" ceasefires, the affected areas are Zabadani city near the Lebanese border and two Shiite towns in northwestern Syria.
Negotiations64 were carried out by an Iranian delegation65 representing the Syrian government and rebels from the Ahrar al-Sham movement, which is backed by al-Qaida- linked groups like the Nusra Front. The talks had been ongoing for months.
The rebels wanted Syrian authorities to halt a broad offensive on rebel-held Zabadani and Madaya, while the Iranian and Syrian governments wanted Jihadi groups in the northwestern province of Idlib to halt attacks on Shiite towns.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull Appoints Scott Morrison as TreasurerAustralian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has appointed Scott Morrison as treasurer66 in his new cabinet.
And the new cabinet is expected to be sworn in on Monday.
This move aims to mend party divisions following the ouster of Tony Abbott.
"The honorable Scott Morrison will be appointed treasurer. He's held the key economic portfolio67 of social services as you know and he has introduced significant reforms to ensure our generous social welfare safety net is more efficient, easier to understand and sustainable."Other major changes include the appointment of Maris Payne as defence minister, one of five women in the new cabinet, and former Education Minister Christopher Pyne as industry, innovation and science minister.
New Measures Taken to Ease Huge Crowd Pressure for Art Exhibition in Forbidden CityAnchorAn ongoing exhibition of China's finest artworks at the Palace Museum in Beijing has attracted crowds of art enthusiasts69 at the Forbidden City daily.
Peoples have queued for hours to catch a glimpse of these national treasures.
A series of new measures are now being taken by the Palace Museum to ease the pressure and guarantee visitors can have a good experience during their visit.
CRI's Qian Shanming reports.
Reporter:
Hundreds of guests gather outside of the ticket office since the exhibition kicked off earlier this month, with a staff member from the Palace Museum leading each group into the exhibition hall.
Starting from Saturday, each of the visitors had been given a card with a number on it. The number will decide the order each visitor enters the exhibition.
Many visitors have expressed satisfaction with this new measure.
"I was prepared to rush into the exhibition to take a place. But when I came here, they gave me a number and this keeps us in order. So I think this is great.""I think the measure really helps to keep the order for visiting. I feel satisfied"Shan Qixiang, curator of Beijing Palace Museum, says this new measure helps the Museum better control the crowds:
"From the ticket office to the exhibition hall, we divide visitors in groups and give each person a number. So visitors have no need to rush into the exhibition to occupy a place. The measure prevents visitors from getting injured in the rush. They also don't have to worry about someone jumping in line."The organizer has also used other measures to ease visitors' uneasiness and fatigue70 during waiting, including leading people to queue up in the shadow and placing more chairs for people to take a break in the queue.
The exhibition opened on September 8th and is part of the museum's celebration for its 90th anniversary. 82 pieces of artwork, include the renowned71 masterpiece Along the River during the Qingming Festival, a Song dynasty panoramic72 piece by Zhang Zeduan, are on display.
Crowds of enthusiasts waiting to enter the exhibition hall have expressed excitement about seeing the artwork.
"Actually, every piece is a national treasure. We all love them very much. Many of us are art teachers. We have seen the art works in books so many times, and are eager to appreciate the entire real works with our own eyes.""We arrived here before 9 o'clock in the morning, and are still waiting now. My granddaughter wanted to see the art collections."To guarantee the safety of these art treasures and keep a good environment for visiting, the Palace Museum has limited entry to two hundred visitors at a time.
Shan Qixiang says the new measures have proven to be effective.
A virtual exhibition can be viewed on the Palace Museum's website.

Headline newsChina, US Pin High Hope on President Xi's Visit to the USBusiness figures and observers in both China and the United States have voiced high hopes for Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to the US.
The senior vice president of aircraft maker Boeing says win-win cooperation between the two countries will benefit not only the two people but the rest of the world.
Bertrand Marc-Allen made the remark ahead of Xi Jinping's visit, with his first stop in the US including a visit to the Boeing Company in Seattle City.
Da Wei, director of the Institute of the United States at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, also points out that Xi Jinping is visiting the US at a critical time as the U.S. will soon enter its election cycle.

Sci&Tech ReportAnchor:
It's time to check on the latest from the science and technology sector in the past week in our Weekly Sci-Tech feature.
A Chinese hospital has successfully conducted a small intestine85 transplant with the assistance of a robot.
A British agency is funding technology to develop an "invisibility cloak" for military vehicles.
And a new report suggests that too much social media could be bad for teenagers' health.
Let's catch up on all the latest with CRI's Wenjie.
Reporter:
A hospital in northwest China's Shaanxi Province has successfully performed a rare and difficult small intestine transplant with the assistance of a robot.
During the surgery, the robot, controlled by a doctor, inserted its arms into several small holes dug into the abdomen86 of 53-year-old Yang Xiaoming to take out a 1.8-meter-long section of his small intestine.
The organ was transplanted into his son Yang Lin, who had most of his own small intestine removed due to severe intestinal87 failure.
Doctors say the robot-assisted surgery leaves a much smaller cut on the donor's abdomen and is more conducive88 to his recovery.
======Apple says it is working on a way to allow users to delete built-in apps.
Apple CEO Tim Cook says he is aware that the iPhone's built-in apps can be nothing but a nuisance, and he's working on a way to let users delete some of them.
Wang Yanhui, Secretary General of China Mobile Alliance believes this is good news for apple users.
"Many built-in apps take much storage space and most of the apps are useless for many users. Therefore, if users have the option to delete those apps, it must be good since it will free up some space."The nested apps include Stocks, Newsstand, Podcasts, Apple Watch, Tips and iBooks.
Cook didn't reveal a time frame for the change.
======A British government agency has announced funding for technology to develop an "invisibility cloak" for military vehicles.
The Center for Defense89 Enterprise (CDE) has awarded the funding to a company called Folium Optics to help it develop its technology for adaptive camouflage90: camouflage that can change its color to better match the background.
A spokesman at CDE says a total system using this adaptive camouflage could be used on a vehicle to allow the crew to switch between different camouflage patterns depending on the type of terrain91 they are operating in.
Folium Optics uses plastic as the core technology of the adaptive camouflage, which means it's robust92, thin and can be any shape - even curved.
According to Posti Group, it is the first company in Europe to experiment with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for mail delivery in an urban area.
Jukka Rosenberg, Senior Vice President of parcel and logistics services at Posti Group, says the company is testing ways to make online shopping quicker and better for both the sender and recipient40.
"This is part of the testing new technologies in our parcel delivery and post deliveries and this could be an opportunity which we are now testing."The very first drone delivery went off without a glitch94, even though it landed away from the designated landing zone.
Tero Heinonen from Sharper Shape, which is responsible for the technical aspects and operation of the drone, says there is great interest in drone technology and there are many potential uses.
"It seems that drones are one of the new technology areas which really ignite people's imagination, so we get probably twenty requests per week for different applications that we ever could not have imagined. So I expect that while the technology further matures we will see many companies doing different kinds of applications starting from precision agriculture, forestry95 inventory96, the deliveries of course, power-line inspections97, counting traffic."Amazon announced a potential drone-based delivery service last year.
But a number of major obstacles namely weight limits, distance limits, and weather restrictions98 remain before drone delivery services become the norm.
======Volvo is looking into developing a robot that can collect garbage, allowing garbage truck drivers to avoid heavy lifting.
The truck's operating system would instruct a robot to pick up garbage bins99 and empty them into the garbage truck.
Researchers from the United States have joined Volvo's team to design the robot.
The robot is set to be tested sometime next summer.
======Amazon has introduced a $50 tablet, a price tag analysts100 say is low enough to set it apart in a crowded market and draw more customers to its online services.
The new Fire tablet comes with a screen that measures 7 inches (17 cm) diagonally and a front-and-back camera.
Dave Limp, senior vice president of Amazon devices introduces the tablet.
"Well I think it's a pretty pretty product in itself but since the initial introduction of fire four years ago, we want to set new, amazing, break through prices. We started at $199 dollars four years ago and today, getting under $50 dollars with the tablet sets a new bar for what customers can expect."The company has said it does not plan to profit from devices but wants to use them to draw more customers to its services.
====A new report claims that use of sites like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, especially at night, can lead to depression, anxiety, and poor quality sleep.
Researchers at the University of Glasgow say it's not just a lack of sleep caused by late nights online that are causing these issues, but that it's the emotional investment in maintaining a 24-7 social media profile that could also be a major factor.
Dr. Heather Cleland Woods, a researcher on the project, explains what they've found:
"We saw that overall social media use was related to someone's anxiety, their depression. They want to be online 24-7 and as that need increased we also saw that that had an impact on their sleep quality."It's estimated that 90-percent of adolescents are on social media.
Tracy Stuart, a school principal, tries to encourage students to use the technology responsibly. "What we try to do here is develop some self regulation skills in the young people so they understand when to turn off, when to turn on, when to make sure they've got other commitments, other parts of their lives so that their whole world doesn't become a virtual world."The advice is to moderate people's social media use - easy to say but for many young people, not so easy to do.
======A mobile phone app has been developed to stop emotional eaters caving in to their cravings and binging on food.
Emotional eaters are people who eat to try to escape depression, loneliness, fear, anxiety, anger and numerous other emotions.
One emotion often triggers another which increases the desire for certain foods which provide a brief comfort.
What this phone app is doing is interrupting that headlong rush towards eating, with a series of easily answered short questions which draw people out of that fixation.
The app's developer, psychiatrist102 Roger Gould says the aim is to make people analyze103 why they want to go down a particular path, that way they stop thinking emotionally and start thinking rationally.
"You have an emotional part of your mind that reacts immediately and intensely with strong feelings. You have a rational part of your mind in which you can sort out those feelings and figure out what's real. Then you can figure out what to do."Gould adds this is a program that leads emotional eaters along several paths which aim to find out their current state of mind, what caused their current state of mind and whether they can address the problem without binging.
======And that brings us to the end of this edition of our weekly science and technology feature.
