Top NewsEased Child Policy Welcomed, But Effect in DoubtAnchor:
While it appears the easing of the one-child policy to allow all couples in China to have two children is being widely-welcomed, some experts are suggesting the government will need to take extra steps to make it effective.
CRI's Luo Wen reports.
Reporter:
A communique issued on Thursday following a Party Plenum this week states the long-anticipated relaxation4 of the policy is aimed at alleviating5 demographic strains on the country's economy.
Yuan Xin with Tianjin-based Nankai University says the authorities have been left with little options at this point.
"In the 13th Five-year period, China is likely to face growing pressure from a slowing economy, along with worsening problems such as the aging population, a continued gender6 imbalance and labor7 shortages. The only solution available to fix these problems is to stimulate8 population growth."Official figures show 15 percent of China's 1.34-billion people were above the age of 60 as of the end of last year.
It's forecast that one in every three people in China will be over 60 by the middle of this century.
The same demographic analysis also shows the available labor force dropped to 930-million by last year from its peak at 940-million in 2012.
This number is expected to further decrease by close to 30-million more in the next 5-years.
But beyond the needs of the country, many are looking at the decision to allow 2-children per-household as a positive move on the social front.
Voxpop"I was born in the 1980s. I'm the only child of my parents. Sometimes, I feel lonely. If I had a sister or brother, I think it would be better. And it would also be easier to look after my parents when they become old.""The new policy can also be seen as progress in our country when it comes to improving human rights. People should have the right to decide how many children they have."Chinese authorities last move to loosen the family planning policy was in late 2013.
Under that decision, couples where only parent was the product of the one-child policy were allowed to have a 2nd child.
The previous restrictions9 would only allow for a 2nd child if both parents were from a one-child family.
But as of this June, only 1.5 million of the 11 million eligible10 couples applied11 to expand their family.
Yuan Xin with Nankai University says the new national policy changes are unlikely to bring a baby boom, either.
"Families willing to have a second child always far outnumber those who choose to have a second one. It's a normal. Since the previous reform failed to function as expected, I'm assuming the new one is also unlikely to bring a significant change."Financial pressures are a major obstacle keeping many Chinese parents from having a second child.
Kong Linde is among them.
"Firstly there's the financial pressure. We haven't paid off our mortgage. The other thing is the expense of raising a child is already really high, so we're worried about how to bring up a second child. We want a second one, but we figure its almost impossible at this point."At the same time, Joseph Cheng, a retired12 professor with City University in Hong Kong, suggests the government should also take steps to address the urban-rural balance when implementing13 the new policy.
"Relatively14 well-educated and prosperous urban families are quite reluctant to have more children. Population growth tends to take place more in the rural areas. So how are you going to provide incentives15 to encourage young, well-educated, relatively prosperous urban families to have more children?"There are no immediate16 details on when the new policy will be implemented17.
The so-called one-child policy was first introduced in the late 1970s to prevent China's population growth from spiraling out of control.
It's estimated that policy kept China's population from growing by some 400-million since then.

Innovation to be put at core for China's 5-year planAnchor:
The Communist Party of China is planning to place "innovation" at the core of the next 5-year plan.
This is one of a number of new policy decisions which has been revealed following the latest session of the CPC's Central Committee this week.
CRI's Xie Cheng with more on what the focus on "innovation" may mean for the Chinese economy.
Reporter:
The communiqué said that a number of sectors19 including science, technology and culture need to be made more innovative20, and that China will continue to encourage mass entrepreneurship in the hope that it will lead to new technology.
"It's unprecedented23 that innovation has been put into a very important position, especially a core position for China's future development, and it might even bring all the country's future tasks together."For his part, renowned24 economist Ma Guangyuan believes that innovation plays a crucial role in China's future development, especially to accomplish the goal of building a society of moderate prosperity in all respects by 2020.
"Innovation will be indispensable for China's economy's further development, and the emphasis will become much lower on previous measures such as entirely25 relying on material factors, human resources or exports. Those countries which have been able to avoid the middle class income trap also prove that innovation is necessary after going through relatively rapid development period."He notes that a system on public policies supporting and encouraging innovation needs to be formed.
The government has taken a series of measures to promote innovation, such as planning to encourage a system nurturing26 innovation and seeing to a better allocation of resources including labor, capital land, technology and management.
A range of measures for emerging businesses such as financial support, supporting infrastructure27 and administrative28 assistance have also been announced.
Zhu Jianfang suggested that innovation will not only influence China's economic and social development, but also bring benefits for a series of industries.
"The institutional and technological29 innovation will stimulate high-end manufacturing to develop on a higher level. Service industries, such as medical care and elderly care, will also gain greater scope for development, since innovation will bring institutional changes on those industries."Statistics shows that over 3.1 million new companies were established in China from January to September.

German Chancellor32 Calls on to Build Multilateral Governance MechanismGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel is calling for the creation of a multilateral governance system to help promote international cooperation.
Merkel has made the call while taking part in a series of round-table talks in Beijing as part of her 2-day trip.
She says she believes China has already proved itself as a responsible actor when it comes to global problems.
"If China had abandoned Europe when we rolled into the European debt crisis, the world could have turned to another path. I am very appreciative33 that China has been such a reliable partner as we work through the crisis. It is far-sighted of China to do it."As part of the round-table, Angela Merkel has also exchanged her opinions on economic cooperation, saying the China-backed Belt and Road Initiative and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank will provide new opportunities.
Over 40 experts from China, Germany, Spain, India and United States have taken part in the event.
German Chancellor Calls on More Student ExchangeGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel has met with a group of students in Anhui's capital, Hefei.
She, along with Chinese Premier34 Li Keqiang, who is originally from Anhui, were the honored guests at a ceremony today marking the 30th anniversary of the founding of Hefei University, which was jointly36 built by China and Germany.
Merkel says promoting student exchanges goes a long way toward helping37 cultivate better bilateral38 ties.
"When I see the many motivated young people here, the ones we can see inside here, who are experiencing learning, and the ones who were standing39 outside and greeting us, then Mr Premier I have no concerns as to whether it was a good idea to promote the Germany-China youth exchange, student exchange."For his part, Premier Li says the Chinese government will set up a Sino-German education cooperation demonstration40 base and a fund as well at Hefei University.
During the tour, he and Merkel tasted German-style dark beer brewed41 by students majoring in food science at the university.
Merkel and Li Keqiang are holding a series of meetings with business leaders from both sides in Hefei this evening.
A delegation42 of German business leaders representing the machinery43, automotive, electrical and telecommunications sections are taking part in the meetings.
Trade Representatives from China, SKorea, Japan gathers ahead of the summitTrade representatives from China, South Korea and Japan are gathered in Seoul ahead of the China-South Korea-Japan summit this weekend.
A 3-way Free Trade Agreement and the creation of a Regional Comprehensive Economic Parntership have been put high on the agenda.
Chinese International Trade Representative Zhong Shan has represented China at a meeting of trade officials in Seoul.
"I want to have frank talks with today's attendees regarding issues of mutual44 interest and also those of each attendee's own interests. Through this, let us build a sympathetic bond and make the results of the China-Japan-South Korea summit all the richer."Yoon Sang-jick, South Korea's Trade Minister, says the result of this Friday's trade sessions will be attached to the trilateral summit's final declaration.
"I expect today's meeting to be headed towards a fruitful conclusion that can set a course of economic cooperation among the three countries and can help us to find new opportunities."Having been included in both the Trans-Pacific Partnership45 and RECP, Japan's trade minister Motoo Hayashi hopes the three nations could continue their economic cooperation.
The trade talks come as leaders of the three countries to sit down this weekend for a series of talks.
China, Japan, South Korea Summit marks a new start: ExpertsAnchor:
Leaders from China, Japan and South Korea are set to meet this weekend in Seoul for the first time in over 3-years.
Its being suggested the forthcoming summit could be a new starting point to help get wobbly relations in East Asia back on a more smooth path.
CRI's Wang Mengzhen has more.
Reporter:
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, South Korean President Park Geun-Hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will sit down together on Sunday for their first trilateral meeting since May of 2012.
Historical and territorial46 issues among the three countries have kept them from coming together until this weekend.
While those issues are still there, Jeff Kingston, director of Asian studies at Temple University in Japan, says the resumption of the trilateral summit could be a signal those tensions may be easing somewhat.
"I think we've had this really long hiatus in regional dialogue and communication principally because of differences over history and also to some extent over overlapping47 territorial claims. But I think it's a recognition by the leaders of all three countries that the relationship is far too important to hold hostage to history, to some rocky islets in the middle of the ocean."As leading players in Asia, China, Japan and South Korea make up around 70-percent of all economic output in Asia, and represent 20-percent in the world economy.
Professor Lv Yaodong with the Japanese Studies Institute at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says its this regional clout48 that should be the focus of this weekend's sessions.
"The purpose of this summit should be to find more common ground among the three nations rather than sorting out their disputes. They can collaborate49 with each other on issues such as environmental protection and reducing greenhouse gas emissions50. The three also need to prioritize regional peace and stability ahead of bilateral relations."Although this is a trilateral session, one of the big political events will take place when South Korean President Park Geun-hye sits down for a one-on-one meeting with Shinzo Abe.
It will be their first bilateral talks since Park took over as President.
She's refused to sit down with him directly since she took office in early 2013 because of comment's he's previously51 made connected to the contentious52 issue of "comfort women."These were sexual slaves used by Japanese troops during World War II.
Professor Park Ihn-hwi with Ewha Woman's University in South Korea says that sit-down will be important for both sides.
"The historical issues have to be worked from a long-term perspective. There seems to be a basic premises53 for an improvement of South Korea-Japan relations. The the two countries should continue to maintain ties under the theory they cooperate best economically in profitable areas, including trade."The meetings this weekend will are expected to discuss the potential creation of a trilateral Free Trade Agreement.
Those talks were first launched in early 2013.
However, they've so far made little headway, with concerns among China, South Korea and Japan said to be high in areas such as agricultural and technological imports.

Xi's Vietnam, Singapore trip to Boost China-ASEAN RelationsAnchor:
A detailed54 itinerary55 of Chinese President Xi Jinping's forthcoming visit to Vietnam and Singapore has been unveiled.
CRI's Wang Wei has the details.
Reporter:
During his time in Vietnam, President Xi Jinping is scheduled to hold talks with the leaders of the country's ruling party, as well as its government.
Discussions are likely to include ways to ease bilateral tensions and cope with other regional issues.
Li Jun with the CPC Central Committee's International Department says a set of collaborative agreements are going to be signed.
"The two sides are set to sign a set of agreements connected to cooperation between the two parties, coordination56 of the two countries development strategies, infrastructure construction, economic and trade investment, culture and education as well as exchanges and cooperation among the border provinces of the two sides."The visit comes as China and Vietnam attempt to dial-back tensions in their long-running dispute in the South China Sea.
Chinese vice30 Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin says the two sides signed agreements earlier this year to solve their maritime57 disputes peacefully.
"This move demonstrate that as important neighbors, China and Vietnam are committed to solve maritime disputes through peaceful ways. More importantly, the two sides have also vowed58 to solve future disputes and frictions59 through negotiations60 and consultations62. This is our consensus63. We'll stick to this way."The second leg of Xi Jinping's trip is to Singapore.
He's due to hold talks with Singaporean President Tony Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Liu Zhenmin says China's Silk Road initiative will be a major topic during those talks.
"The two countries are now working to establish another intergovernmental cooperation program that focuses on modern interconnection and a modern service economy. The programs are based on China's 'One Belt, One Road' Initiative, the Western Development strategy as well as Yangtze River Economic Zone strategy."Liu Zhenmin says the two sides will also discuss China-ASEAN relations.
"The leaders will exchange ideas on bilateral relations as well cooperation in various areas. They will sign a set of agreements on finance, education, science and technology and urban governance. I believe the visit will further promote bilateral relations, enhance mutual political trust and strengthen China-ASEAN relations."Xi Jinping is also to inaugurate a Chinese cultural center during his time in Singapore.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Singapore.
The Chinese President's trip will begin on Thursday when he takes off for Hanoi.

Navy chief "deeply concerned" over U.S. ship S.China Sea patrollingChina's top naval64 commander has told his US counterpart he is "deeply concerned" about the tensions created by the U.S. side in the South China Sea this week.
Admiral Wu Shengli has expressed his frustration65 as part of a video conference with US Naval chief John Richardson overnight.
Wu Shengli has told Richardson the decision to sail a US naval vessel66 within 12-nautical miles of Chinese controlled territory in the Nansha Islands is a threat to Chinese sovereignty and security.
He also says the move has set-back regional peace and stability, and has warned the Chinese side will take "all necessary measures" to protect its sovereignty and security.
China Dismisses Arbitral Tribunal's ruling on South China SeaThe Chinese government is dismissing a decision by an international tribunal connected to the South China Sea.
The Hague-based Arbitral Tribunal has determined67 it will hear part of the case the Philippine government put forward in its dispute with China over who holds jurisdiction68 over the Nansha Islands.
Chinese vice-Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin says the tribunal's decision to hear the case will ultimately be meaningless.
"China's stance has always been very clear that we do not participate and do not accept the arbitration69 case. Between China and Philippines, we and all successive governments of the Philippines have reached many agreements on the issue of the South China Sea, which is to resolve the disputes between the two countries through dialogue and consultation61."At the same time, Liu Zhenmin says the Philippine government's original move to put the dispute to the international tribunal is self-serving.
"This ruling is an inappropriate ruling made by ignoring China's rights. From this ruling you can see that the Philippines' aim in pursuing the arbitration is not to resolve the dispute. Its aim is to deny China's rights in the South China Sea and affirm its own rights in the South China Sea. This is not the right approach to resolve the dispute."The Philippines decided70 to challenge China's sovereignty over the Nansha Islands through the international tribunal in 2013, rather than by direct negotiations which the Chinese government has been asking for.

China hopes Vienna meeting on Syria paves ways for political solutionThe Chinese government says its hoping for a positive outcome from this week's talks in Vienna connected to the fighting in Syria.
This comes as diplomats72 from a dozen different countries meet this Friday in Vienna to discuss the situation.
Chinese vice-Foreign Minister Li Baodong says China will help in any way it can.
"We are concerned about the situation in Syria. Looking forward, we will be working closely with the parties concerned to push for progress in the political process. And we are very happy to see some major countries in the region will participate in this meeting. The international community should not just sit there waiting passively, but work hard to create the right conditions to push forward, reset73 the political process."Diplomats from more than a dozen nations, including Iran are taking part in this Friday's meeting.
Officials from the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey met separately yesterday ahead of today's session.
This is Iran's first involvement in international talks connected to Syria, as the US and its allies had blocked previous attempts to have Iran involved.
They've accused Iran, a big supporter of the Bashar al-Assad administration, of being a party to the fighting, something Iran has denied.
Paul Ryan Becomes the New House SpeakerAnchor:
Republican congressman74 Paul Ryan, has officially been elected the new Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
The Republican's previous vice-Presidental candidate has used his first speech to call on lawmakers to find a way to work together to end the gridlock in the Congress.
CRI's chief Washington correspondent Xiaohong has more.
Reporter:
45-year-old Ryan became the youngest House Speaker in 140 years after receiving 236 votes Thursday morning. Outgoing Speaker John Boehner made the announcement.
"The House is broken. We're not solving problems, we are adding to them."Ryan vowed to change the way of doing business in the colloquially-named "People's House," giving the rank-and-file members a greater say in drafting new legislation.
"The committees should retake the lead in drafting all major legislation. If you know the issue, you should write the bill."Ryan was the Republican nominee77 for vice president in 2012. During his 17 years in the House, he also served as chairman of two of the most powerful committees, namely, the Budget and Ways and Means committees.
When House majority leader Kevin McCarthy shocked the caucus78 by dropping his bid for the post, Ryan became the clear favorite among all fractions and was elected by his Republican colleagues on Wednesday for the Speaker's job. However, the fact that some stanch79 conservative Republicans did not cast their votes to support Ryan showed that the fractious House Republican Conference remains80 as big a challenge to Ryan as it was to Boehner.

The French, one of the tournament favorites, have been sent packing after failing to score in regulation, and then going down to Costa Rica 5-3 in the penalty shoot-out.

Quarter-final action at the Under-17 World Cup gets underway this weekend.
China Super League previewIn football,This year's China Super League will be drawing to a close tomorrow, with three critical spots still up for grabs, including the Championship itself.
Guangzhou Evergrande comes into tomorrow's action with the advantage at the top of the table, holding a 2-point lead over 2nd place Shanghai SIPG.
Evergrande is in Beijing to take on Guo'an for the league title, and need only a draw to secure the Championships.
SIPG will take on Liaoning, and can win the title with a victory and an Evergrande loss.
But while Evergrande and SIPG will be shooting for the title, both their compeditors, Beijing and Liaoning, come into the matchups with reasons of their own for victory.
Guo'an is currently in 4th on the CSL table, but tied with Shandong Luneng with points at 56 for the critical 3rd place spot.
Shandong will be taking on Shijiazhuang, which has nothing to play for but pride.
Luneng's goal differential is one-point ahead of Beijing.
3rd place gets a spot in next year's Asian Champions League.
---But at the same time, Liaoning's battle with SIPG tomorrow also has some revelence for Liaoning, as the club currently sits at 31-points, which is 3-points ahead of relegation107.
A win tomorrow by Guizhou, which currently sits in relegation at 28-points, combined with a Liaoning loss, would put them even in points.
However, Liaoning has a goal differential of minus-15, while Guizhou is minus-13, meaning a Guizhou win and a Liaoning blowout at the hands of SIPG could put Liaoning in relegation.
However, Guangzhou R&F, Tianjin and Hangzhou all have to win their respective matches for that to happen.
As such, any one of those five teams could end up being relegated109, depending on what happens tomorrow.
All matches get underway at 3pm.
