Top NewsChina, ASEAN Sign Upgraded Trade Cooperation ProtocolChina and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have signed a protocol concerning deepened bilateral trade cooperation.
Covering a wide range including trade in goods, services and investment, this protocol is a supplement to the original agreement of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area, which was fully6 completed 5 years ago.
Both sides have agreed to improve and further open their services to each other, allow each other to establish solely-owned or joint7-venture companies, as well as reduce regional restrictions8.
China is the ASEAN's largest trade partner while ASEAN is China's third largest partner.
Bilateral trade volume between China and ASEAN has surged to over 480 billion U.S. dollars by last year thanks to the preferential policies, and the two sides are now targeting the volume at 1 trillion U.S. dollars by 2020.
China-Asian Cooperation Help Boost New Growth PointsExperts are expressing the view that the Chinese Premier10's proposal on China-ASEAN cooperation will help the region find more opportunities for future growth.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has proposed the integration11 of the "One Belt and One Road " initiative with the regional strategic plans of ASEAN countries.
Wei Ling is the director of the Asian Affairs Institution of China Foreign Affairs University.
She believes the proposal offers a good growth opportunity for countries in the region.
"Interconnectivity and regional integration among ASEAN countries will play a central role in promoting its strategic development. The idea of “One Belt and One Road" that has been raised by China will not only benefit China itself but all the countries along the way, which will also be a great opportunity for ASEAN's future development."Wei believes that China's 13th five-year-plan will also help boost economic development of the region.
"So I think pursuing sustainable development which puts security as a precondition should be a consensus12 between China and other ASEAN countries. China's next five-year-plan, which highlights sustainable development, will provide a driving force for ASEAN's development."The comment came after Chinese premier Li Keqiang put forward a six-point proposal during the ASEAN-China leaders' meeting in Malaysia.
Li Keqiang Visits Malaysia's Malacca PortChinese Premier Li Keqiang on Sunday visited Malacca, a port city about two hours away from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Malacca was a docking place for Zheng He, an ancient Chinese navigator who promoted trade and cultural exchanges between China's Ming Dynasty and other Asian countries.
The Chinese Premier says the Malacca represents a significant part of Chinese history.
"600 years ago, Seafarer Zheng He made five trips to Malacca. These visits facilitated the cultural exchanges between China and Malaysia and represent our friendship."The premier has also inspected a miniature of an industrial park, which is associated with Malaysia’s grand Malacca Gateway13 project.
The Malaysian government has decided14 to expand the project as an active response to China's Belt and Road Initiative.
The Chinese premier will hold talks with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Monday.
Chinese Premier Proposes Ways to Resolve South China Sea DisputesChinese Premier Li Keqiang has raised a five-point proposal in an attempt to stabilize15 the situation in the South China Seas during the annual East Asian summit in Kuala Lumpur.
It comes as leaders from the 10 ASEAN states, three East Asian nations, India, Australia, New Zealand, the US and Russia joined the summit on Sunday.
Premier Li said countries should stick to the UN charter as well as the principles of international law to settle sovereignty and jurisdictional-related disputes through consultation16.
Li Keqiang said he hoped countries could soon carry out the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Premier called on countries outside the region to refrain from taking action that might cause tension.
Prime Minister of the host nation Malaysia Najib Razak also stressed the role of "international principle" in the summit's opening remarks.
This is the tenth East Asian Summit since 2005.
Membership has been expanded to 18 countries following the entry of the US and Russia in 2011.
Chinese vice5 FM Criticizes US Warship's South China Sea IntrusionOn the sideline of ongoing17 regional meetings in Kuala lumpur, China's Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin said US's intrusion into the South China Sea was a "political provocation18" in the name of "freedom of navigation."During a news conference on Sunday, Liu Zhenmin stressed that China always respected the freedom of navigation by other nations.
"China highly respects freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, so we hope regional and non-regional countries can provide constructive19 contributions to our efforts to maintain the peace and stability of the South China Sea. So they can sail freely on the sea but at the same time respect the countries in the region. Do not look for trouble but seek constructive cooperation."In late October, the naval21 destroyer USS Lassen sailed within 12 nautical22 miles of the Zhubi Reef in the South China Sea without notifying the Chinese government.
This raised strong opposition23 from the Chinese side, as sailing within 12 nautical miles of a territory held by a different country is viewed internationally as a violation24 of territorial25 sovereignty.
The Chinese vice foreign minister expressed China's concerns about some countries' behavior in the South China Sea.
"The countries in the region should properly manage their military activity. Now we've seen some big countries from outside the region send their vessels26 and patrol ships to the South China Sea in the name of practicing their freedom of navigation. There are other big countries trying to strengthen their military cooperation with countries in this region, isn't this militarization? We are concerned about that."Earlier, US president Barack Obama said his country would continue to assert its freedom of navigation rights in the Sea, while calling on nations to stop militarizing their claims.
However, Liu Zhenmin has defended China's rights to build military facilities as a protocol of national defense27 and as a way to protect the islands.
Leaders of ASEAN Declare the Establishment of a Formal CommunityAnchorThe Southeast Asian nations, meeting in Kuala Lumpur, have signed an agreement to establish by December 31 a formal community aimed at creating freer movement of trade and capital.
CRI's Li Jianhua has more.
ReporterThe establishment of the ASEAN Community will create a free trade and investment environment in an area of 625 million people with a combined economic output of 2.6 trillion USD.
Despite the different backgrounds of the ten ASEAN member states, the economic community offers the most concrete opportunities for integration in a region whose combined gross domestic product makes it the world's seventh-largest economy.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak says the establishment of the ASEAN Community will make their manufacturing industry more competitive in the global market and reduce cost for every member state.
"We now have to ensure that we create a truly single market and production base with freer movements of goods and services with common standards, far greater connectivity, and removal of the barriers that make our borders a hindrance28 to growth and investment."In addition, they have also agreed to enhance the connectivity of their transportation infrastructure29 and communications, better facilitate electronic transactions, integrate industries to promote regional sourcing, and enhance private-sector30 involvement in the economy.
Najib Razak expressed his confidence in the overall development of the ASEAN Community, quoting a forecast that ASEAN has the potential of being the 4th largest economy in the world by early 2030.
Also he believes the building of the ASEAN Community will contribute to the peaceful development of the region.
"Forging ahead together and our task remains31 the same: to echo the conclusion of the Bangkok declaration - it is to bind32 ourselves further together in friendship and co-operation, and through joint efforts and sacrifices, secure for our peoples and for posterity33 the blessings34 of peace, freedom and prosperity. The ASEAN Community is a landmark35 achievement on the way to reaching those goals."The formal establishment of the community will also allow eight groups of professionals to work more easily throughout the region, including engineers, architects, nurses, doctors, dentists, accountants, surveyors and tourism professionals.
ASEAN was established nearly 50-years ago as a political grouping of ten Southeast Asian nations.
It's since developed into a regional economic and trading power, and has been looking to expand its role in Asian affairs through the creation of the ASEAN Economic Community.
For CRI, this is Li Jianhua.
100 People Killed in Myanmar LandslideIt's been estimated that at least 100 people have been killed and many more are still missing after a landslide36 occurred near a jade37 mine in Myanmar's northern Kachin State.
Officials have also announced that nearly 80 bodies have been pulled from the site so far, and the figure has also been confirmed by a local lawmaker and a rescue worker.
The landslide occurred in the early hours near a mining site in Hpakant, a large jade-producing region.
Local media outlets40 have also reported that many of the miners were sleeping in huts when the collapse41 took place.
Belgium Remains on High Security AlertThe terror alert level in Brussels remains at its highest level.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said on Sunday that local authorities are anticipating similar attacks to those in Paristwo-weeks ago.
"I confirm, as I was able to indicate yesterday, that we are fearing a similar attack to that which took place in Paris, involving several individuals, who might launch an attack on several different locations at the same time. We have information that leads us to believe that the potential targets are places which are regularly frequented by large crowds."Belgium's National Security Council decided on Sunday to keep Brussels' schools closed and subways shut down. The city was kept mostly shut down over the weekend.
One suspect in the Paris attacks was last seen crossing into Belgium.
Diverted Turkish Airlines Flight Resumes its JourneyA Turkish Airlines flight diverted to Canada after receiving a bomb threat has now been cleared to continue its journey after it was reported that no explosives were found.
The flight originally bound for Istanbul from New York has now safely departed.
The incident comes after another two flights bound for Paris from the U.S. recently was also diverted to different places earlier last week.
Two Air France flights were diverted for several hours following anonymous43 bomb threats which turned out to be false.
One of the flights leaving Washington was diverted to Halifax in Canada, while the other from Los Angeles diverted to Salt Lake City.
Those diversions were made as security officials are on high alert after Islamic State militants44 claimed responsible for the deadly attacks this month in Paris, as well as the downing of a plane returning to St. Petersburg from the Sharm al-Sheikh resort in Egypt.
Ukraine Ready to Restore Electricity Supply to Crimea: OfficialUkraine's maintenance crews stand ready to restore electricity supply to Crimea within four days once they're granted access to the site where damaged power lines are located.
The power cut happened late Saturday after four transmission pylons46 in Kherson region of southern Ukraine were damaged, leaving about 1.8 million people in the Crimean peninsula without any electricity.
Local residents and business owners have been trying alternative sources of power.
Oleg Nikolaev, a restaurant owner, said diesel47 generators48 are being applied49 as one alternative.
"We were expecting the power to be switched off a year and a half ago. That's why the only disadvantage we've faced is having to use generators powered by diesel, but in general we are ready for this."Blankets have also been used at a local zoo and safari50 park to keep the animals warm.
Ukraine Interior Ministry51 said it has opened criminal investigation52 to the incident, yet no details have been revealed concerning possible organizers of the power line attack.
Brazil's Damburst Damages Local EnvironmentThick orange mud from burst dams in southeastern Brazil reached the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday.
It flowed across two neighboring states, killing53 11 and wreaking54 havoc55 on local towns and businesses.
The November 5 dam burst at an iron ore mine in the state of Minas Gerais disgorged 60 million cubic meters of mud, across over 500 kilometers of land and water.
Brazilian miner Samarco has agreed to pay a preliminary 262 million US dollars to cover the cleanup costs and compensation. But it argued that costs already exceeded its insurance cap for civil damages.
Lawyer Jose Alexandre Boas representing businessmen affected56 by the disaster said that future compensation is not enough.
"We are trying to work with the judicial57 powers to guarantee some legal protection so that these people do not lose all income and go bust58. I believe that future compensation will help to resolve some things, but it is no good paying future compensation to someone who has gone bankrupt. Beyond this there is great stress throughout the community which has to be avoided."Regencia is a small fishing village popular among surfers and vacationers.
Apart from the economic impact, the mudslide could also impact residents' health, agriculture and the ecology of the region.
Mauricio Macri Expected to Win Argentine ElectionExit polls show Mauricio Macri is the expected winner of Argentina's presidential run-off election on Sunday.

"I wish that a new era will start in Argentina, all together. Whatever happens tomorrow, we stand all together. We hope that from tomorrow we will work united, not just all Argentines but also all Latin Americans."Macri has promised major economic and market-oriented reforms. He will end 12 years of leftist government in Argentina, if his victory is confirmed.
Both candidates received about a third of the votes during the first round of voting in October, but the results were too close for a winner to be selected.

Classic Peking Opera Wows British AudienceAnchorTen years after its UK tour in 2005, the China National Peking Opera Company returned to the theatres of Liverpool and London with two of its masterpieces, which met both critical acclaim62 and public enthusiasm.
CRI's London Correspondent Duan Xuelian has more.
ReporterThe Warrior63 Women of Yang and Farewell My Concubine are two of the most famous productions by the China National Peking Opera Company. Their debut65 at London's Sadler's Wells last week met with remarkable66 enthusiasm by more than 1000 audiences.
The Chinese opera company was headed by Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu, both are very well known for their career as opera performers. Yu was also the Vice President and Artistic67 Director of the company. He said in an interview before the performance that to accustom68 to western theatre tradition, the company has made several adjustments which include adding Chinese and English subtitles69 to the performances and reducing the length of the productions.
"British plays usually have an interval70, which is about 20 minutes, and originally our play is 3 hours and a half, counting in the interval, it might be too long for British audiences' taste. So after careful adaptation, we have kept the essence of the play and left out the less important bits."Yu's colleague, Li Shengsu was with the company when they toured the UK ten years ago. Returning as the leading role in The Warrior Women of Yang, she felt that British audiences have a much better understanding of traditional Chinese culture and in particular Peking Opera.
"For instance, when we performed in Liverpool, I can clearly hear British audiences joining the Chinese fans cheering for us, and they know exactly when to give us their applauses, it feels almost like we are performing at home in China."The Chinese opera company was also hailed by British theatre critics. Christopher Curtis writes reviews for Bachtrack.com, the world's largest online guide for classical music, opera and dance shows.
"I would probably rate this show four stars out of five. As you can hear from the audience, there is a very mixed audience tonight with people who are familiar with Peking Opera and people who are very new to it, and they loved the performance."Curtis admits that the buoyant opera music may sound a bit odd to western ears but the storyline is what reaches out to the audiences.
"The story is all set up in the first half, and the acrobat71 bit in the second half is just spectacular. I love the movements, the richness of the costumes, but the story is really powerful. It's a story about family and honor and that communicates very well between cultures I think."The Chinese opera company's UK visit was also part of a series of programs to mark the Year of China-UK cultural exchange.
For CRI, I'm Duan Xuelian in LondonWushu Hopes to Go to Olympics by 2024AnchorWushu, often called "Kung Fu", pits fighters against one another in hand-to-hand combat or intricate acrobatics72 focusing on flair73 and weapon work.
Now, the sport is hoping to go a step further by following other martial74 arts, like Japan's judo75 and Korea's taekwondo, by becoming an Olympic sport.
CRI's Niu Honglin reports.
ReporterThis year's World Wushu Championships in Jakarta features a record number of 600 athletes and attracted thousands of viewers.
Many of those rising to the medal dais come from emerging Wushu nations. Russian Wushu athlete and former gold medalist Daria Tarassova believes that the sport should be in the Olympics.
"I believe, and I'm sure that Wushu now is well known all over the world so it should be in the Olympics soon."The efforts of the International Wushu Federation76 suffered a setback77 when Wushu was dropped from a shortlist of sports being considered for the Tokyo 2020 Games.
However, the organization has not been put off.
Vice President of the International Wushu Federation Anthony Goh is confident of inclusion in next Olympic Games.
"I think Wushu is just visually spectacular and I think that people who have never seen it for the first time. They are totally impressed and say 'wow, I didn't think it looked so good'."Wushu has come a long way since a rising martial artist named Jet Li demonstrated the sport at the White House in 1974.
It has transformed from a centuries-old, exclusively Chinese combat discipline into a professional sport with a world federation and global participation78.
U.S. national team coach and long-time Wushu fighter Mario Martinez says the sport is quite popular in the country.
"Our hope is really for Wushu to ultimately develop into an Olympic sport. We believe that it's already there."Martinez adds that many US athletes on his squad79 worked full time to fund their travel for Wushu tournaments abroad.
He is still confident Wushu will be accepted by the Olympics.
"It's developed in a format42 that's perfect for competition, it has fighting, it has weapons, it has all of the fast moving action of all martial arts condensed into one."For CRI, I'm Niu Honglin.
Australia Looks to Chinese Elderly Care MarketAnchorWith a China-Australia Free Trade Agreement expected to come into force by the end of the year, preferential access to each other's markets will open, including the health care sector.
Australia's Medical service suppliers will be able to establish hospitals and for-profit eldercare institutions in China.
CRI's Yu Yang has more.
ReporterWe all get old one day. But China, the world's most populous80 country, is probably ageing faster.
According to Hao Fuqing, a senior official from National Development and Reform Commission, China has galloped81 towards an aged45 society since the turn of the 21st century.
"So far, we have 212 million senior citizens over the age of 60, accounting82 for 15% of the whole population. Presumably, by 2020, the number of elderly in China will reach 243 million. Coming to 2050, the amount may jump to 300 million."Although many worry about a prospective83 labor84 shortage and acute transformation85 of the society, China's aging profile may not be a bad omen64 for businesses.
Susan Malone is the managing director of Independent Management Group, an Australian company providing senior living consulting service. She has been the eye-witness of the birth of elderly care market in the country.
"Six years ago, when I came to the early conferences that were being held, there were very small conferences. If people from the development sector said to me: 'What do you do?' I said: 'Senior's living.' Then (they responded with) 'What? What is that?' And now when you say senior's living, (they would say) 'what a growing market! How wonderful! Could we talk?'"Malone's firm is not the only foreign senior care provider that scents86 the emerging market.
Peter Hennessy works for a retirement87 community catering88 for overseas Chinese. After successfully opening operations in Malaysia and Indonesia, the company is looking forward to scale up.
"(At the) present time, we have been looking in China, Huangzhou and also Wuhan. We have had approaches to go and getting (got) involved with partners there. Whether it is a working model already (established) for Australian aged care facility, or retirement living facility in Shanghai, I am going to look at that. "However, there are certain elements that may hinder entrants.
Dean of the Institute of Health Industry from Beijing Geely University, Dr Wu Danxing, points out that although the sheer number of seniors in China promises a lucrative89 future,the widespread stereotypes90, absence of qualified91 staff plus the deficiency of standards and regulation prevents foreign firms from moving forward.
"China has its unique characteristics. We cannot let our current strategy be continued but at same time, blindly following other countries is no-go. We cannot be commercialized like America, or learn from welfare states. What we could draw on from Australia is how it built up its aged care system."But Michael Clifton, a Minister from the Australian Embassy to China, remains optimistic.
"In social context, the challenges are precisely92 the challenges that Australia faces but all be on a much lesser93 scale. So whether it is skill training, facility operation, architecture design, all these various elements of health care sector are growing and developing in Australia and they are at the stage where they want to take that expertise94 offshore95. As China's been such a large market, it's about learning, it's about investing into the future. "According to the recently released five-year plan, China will fully open its elderly care sector in the near future.

EntertainmentDaniel Wu on His New Character in US TV Series 'Into the Badlands'
Daniel Wu, a Hong Kong-based Chinese-American actor has opened up about his new role while filming and starring in the US TV series 'Into the Badlands'.
During an interview with China Central Television, Daniel says he faced the difficult challenge of bringing martial arts to an American TV series.
"I mean we know why our main goal is to put martial arts on American television, and we know why that hasn't been done before, because it's very, very challenging, very, very difficult. But luckily, I came out of it without any injuries. I had a cracked rib20 but that was about it and so I'm okay."Starring as a warrior named Sunny, a leading character in the TV drama; Daniel is also one of the executive producers of the show.
Though he originally had no intention to star in the show, the 41-year-old actor says he feels good to finally see Chinese faces on the small screen in the US.
"Growing up in America, there was never any Chinese-Americans on TV or Chinese on TV period. So that's why I watched Jackie Chen and Jet Li, all those things and watched HK movies and Chinese movies, because those were the only ways I can get Chinese people on my screen. So it's kind of good to see 40 years later, although it took a very long time."'Into the Badlands' features a warrior and a young boy together seeking enlightenment while taking a journey through the dangerous feudal128 land.

'Danish Girl' Premiered in LA'Danish Girl' premiered in Los Angeles, with its leading cast members Eddie Redmayne and Amber132 Heard walking the red carpet.
Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Tom Hooker, this British biographical drama film portrays133 the famous painter Lili Elbe, who also known as the first recipient134 of a sex-change operation.
The Oscar-winning actor Redmayne eblaborates on his concerns before playing a trans pioneer.
"I think I had so many anxieties on this film, when I read Lili's story, she was such an icon135. And then when I met women from the trans community, their generosity136 in telling me their experience in order to educate me was pretty wonderful. When people open their hearts to you, you want to sort of tell the story as truthfully as possible. So there were hundreds of anxieties I had but it may have been up there."'The Danish Girl' is inspired by the novel of the same name by David Ebershoff, published in 2000.
The film will hit big screens in the US on November 27th.
