Top NewsRescue efforts continue after Shenzhen landslideClose to 80 excavators and an additional 12-hundred search and rescue personnel have arrived on the scene in Shenzhen, where 91 people are still listed as missing after a massive landslide in the southern Chinese city.
Over 29-hundred people are now on the scene, digging through the silt7 and rubble8 which rolled over three industrial parks.
Authorities say they have detected signs of life at several locations at the site, though only the 16 who survived the initial slide have been accounted for.
Shenzhen deputy-Mayor Liu Qingsheng says the extent of the disaster is massive.
"An area of around 380,000 square meters has been covered by this mudslide. The thickness of the mud and debris9 ranges from between a few meters to tens of meters deep. It has led to burial or varying degrees of damage to 33 buildings across three industrial parks."According to the official Weibo account of Ministry10 of Land and Resources, the landslide occurred due to accumulation of huge pile of construction wastes.
Geotechnical engineer Liu Guonan says he's shocked by the extent of the disaster.
"It is rare to see such a massive disaster take place in urban areas. We took a look through the records, and we've only been able to find one similar case, which took place in Indonesia in the 1990s. But here in China, this is the first case of its kind."China's top leadership, including President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, are monitoring the situation.
The State Council, China's cabinet, has dispatched a team of senior officials and experts to the city to oversee15 rescue work there.
Around 15-hundred people living in the area have been moved out as a precaution.
China to raise deficit16 ratio graduallyA new statement has been issued from the Central Economic Work Conference in Beijing, saying the current pro-active fiscal17 policies in China need to be more forceful.
At the same time, the statement says the fiscal deficit ratio needs to be raised gradually.
The statement says the prudent18 monetary19 policy needs to be more flexible so as to create the appropriate monetary conditions for structural20 reforms.
Meanwhile, plans are being worked on to reduce the property inventories21 in China to try to stabilize22 the housing market.
At the same time, a set of policies dealing24 with industrial overcapacity are also being worked on.
The Central Economic Work Conference opened on Friday, during which China's top leaders review the economic work done in China this year, as well as map out plans for the coming year.
Innovation to be the focus of China's economic development 2016Anchor:
Ways to keep the economy steady through structural reforms are said to be the focus as leading Chinese officials continue to meet in Beijing as part of the annual Central Economic Work Conference.
CRI's Li Jianhua has more.
Reporter:
A new economic report compiled by Renmin University, which has been presented at the sessions, is warning China's economic growth will continue to dip next year.
The report says the transition from an investment-and-export driven model toward innovation and consumption is going to continue to drag down heavy industry and export-oriented businesses.
Sany Heavy Industry vice-President He Dong says companies like his are moving to try to adapt to the changing times.
"We are realizing internationalization, with Chinese heavy-industry products making up around one-third of the international market. I think more is going to be dfone to invest in the global market. But at the same time, the economic transformation25 is a chance to upgrade our manufacturing through things like the internet. At the same time, an emphasis on areas such as new energy can also create opportunities."Professor Liu Qiang with Beihang University says the government should be taking steps to weed-out companies which have continued to profit on low-end, low-quality production.
"There is a serious gap between the excess low-end capacity and the lack of high-end product supplies. More needs to be done to transform low-end production into higher-end, which can be cost-effective. In addition, more should be done to deal with manufacturing services. We need to create more of our own core technology."The Chinese government has been trying to take the economy down a new, 3rd path for the past few years.
Following the founding of the PRC in 1949, a command-economy structure was formed, with a focus mostly on heavy industry to pull the country out of poverty and allow it to compete with other global economies.
Reform and Opening up in the 1980's saw China quickly become the world's factory, with companies attempting to cash in on low labor26 costs by divesting27 into lower-end manufacturing.
Today, the Chinese government is hoping turn the economy into one driven by services and innovation.
"Innovation can't be achieved instantly; it's a process. But as long as we are pointed29 in the right direction and put more emphasis on quality, efficiency and education, I believe China's economic growth will remain healthy."The Chinese economy has expanded by 6.9 percent year on year through the first three quarters of 2015.
Most expect the Chinese economy to grow from around 6.5 to 6.8-percent next year.
For CRI, this is Li Jianhua.
As part of this week's meetings of the National People's Congress Standing31 Committee, the final stamp-of-approval is expected to be given to ammend the decades-old family planning policies to eliminate the so-called one-child policy as of January 1st.
CRI's Wang Mengzhen has more.
Reporter:
As of the end of 2014, the number of people over 60 years old in China had reached 212 million, accounting32 for 15.5 percent of the total population.
Of the 212 million, around one-in-five were considered either disabled or partially-disabled.
Relaxation33 of the family planning policy is expected to provide part of the solution to the challenge of an aging population, and to become a new driver for the economy in the long run.
Li Bin13, head of National Health and Family Planning Commission, says the decision to eliminate the one-child policy will also bring with it other considerations for parents.
"Couples who are allowed to have two children will be entitled to longer marriage and maternity34 leave if they have the second baby."Under the current laws, people who marry later or delay having kids are given more time off for weddings and maternity leave.
Li Bin says these articles are going to be eliminated from the new draft, but says there are some exceptions.
"The amendment will not affect the welfare programs enjoyed by the elderly whose family abides35 by the current family planning law, parents who have only one child and parents whose only child is disabled or dead."At the same time, embryo36 harvesting or surrogacy will remain illegal.
Those caught could face fines or even jail time.
The new two-child policy is expected to add an extra 30 million more people to the labor force by 2050.
It's also going to decrease China's elderly population by around 2-percent.
For CRI, this is Wang Mengzhen.
China's first counter domestic violence law may include emotional or psychological abusesIt's being reported the new domestic violence law being worked on here in China may include provisions covering both emotional or psychological abuse, and may also cover people who live together.
This new draft defines domestic violence as both physical and psychological harm among family members, including beatings, injuries, restraint or forcible limits on physical liberties, as well as recurring37 verbal threats.
Those who aren't related but live together are also going to be subject to the new law.
Su Zelin is the deputy director of the Commission for Legislative38 Affairs with the NPC Standing Committee.
"A newly-added regulation specifies39 that when the courts issue a personal safety protection order, the order has to be delivered to the applicant40, the respondent, the local police department and other organizations in the area. The local police department and other authorities in the area are then in-charge of enforcing the order. "An earlier draft of the domestic violence legislation submitted in August only included provisions covering physical abuse, and not psychological.
Anti-pollution Measures being UnderminedAnchor:
Amid the heavy smog which has been engulfing41 much of northern China, the country's environmental watchdog says they've uncovered a number of incidents where companies are actively42 trying to skirt the regulations to keep the air clean.
CRI's Luo Wen reports.
Reporter:
Latest data from the Environmental Protection Ministry shows the current wave of smog has shrouded43 close to 40 cities around Beijing.
The affected44 area has expanded to 660,000 square kilometers, about 40 times the size of the capital.
Emissions45 from thermal46 heating plants have been widely blamed for contributing to the winter air pollution.
As such, authorities now require these plants use sulfur47-removing equipment and limit the use of the coal with high sulfur content.
However, a recent probe has concluded a number of these plants are trying to get around the rules.
Qin Songtao led a supervision48 team to a heating plant in Gaobeidian, which is located just 90-kilometers southwest of Beijing in neighboring Hebei.
He says when they got there, they could clearly see the chimneys there pumping out yellow smoke high into the sky.
"This indicates a high content of sulfur and ash in the smoke. Otherwise it would have dissipated shortly after being emitted from the chimney, totally not like this. And the dark color appears to support our conclusion."Investigators49 later found the sulfur-skimming equipment at the plant had been left unused.
Gaobeidian is under the jurisdiction50 of Baoding, which, last year, was one of the most polluted cities in China.
Recently, PM2.5 levels in the city hit 1-thousand.
At the same time, its being reported a number of heating companies in Tianjin have been filing fake reporting figures to make their coal meet requirements.
A report provided by Jingbin Heating Group shows the coal it uses has a sulfur content of 0.32 percent, lower than the city's requirement of 0.4 percent.
However, inspectors51 found the real percentage is around 4-times higher than maximum levels.
Coal with sulfur content of 1.6-percent is around 100 yuan per ton cheaper than coal with sulfur percentages of less than 0.4.
Hao Jiming with the Chinese Academy of Engineering says stronger government supervision is needed to prevent such violations52.
"It's nothing but economic interests that are behind these violations. The government should play a stronger role in both limiting the use of high-sulfur coal and making the existing equipment functional53."The smog in the northern China area is forecast to last until new frontal system arrives on Wednesday.
But in the city of Baoding, the red alert for smog is being extedned to at least the end of December.
At the same time, a municipal official in Beijing is warning the recent spell of smog has made it difficult for the city to achieve its annual air quality improvement goal of cutting PM2.5 levels by 5 percent year-on-year.
For CRI, this is Luo Wen.
Masks Sales Soar in North ChinaThe 2nd smog red-alert in Beijing this month is said to be causing a run on filtration masks and air purifiers.
The sale of face masks on online retailer54 JD.com through the first week of December is four times what it saw through the whole of October.
Analysis is suggesting 4 out of every 5 masks being sold in China right now are being sold in the northern parts of the country.
Staffers at Walmart locations are scrambling55 to try to keep enough masks on the shelves.
"The number of consumers buying face masks is rising. This week alone, our face mask sales have doubled compared to the previous week."Home appliance giant Suning says its sales of air purifiers though this past week has increased 13-fold, while sales at their brick-and-mortar outlets56 for air purifiers have shot up 6-fold.
China Objects to Arbitration57 over South China SeaThe Chinese government is calling on the Philippines to give up any illusions it has over the South China Sea.
Foreign Ministry spoksperson Hong Lei has been prompted to make the comments following the release of a court transcript58 of hearings the Philippine side has launched at the International Court of Justice.
"No other people or institutions have the right to deal with Chinese territorial59 sovereignty except the Chinese people. With regard to territorial sovereignty and maritime60 rights and interests, China will not accept any resort to a third-party dispute settlement. We urge the Philippines to give up the fantasy and make a fresh start of negotiations61 on the disputes."The Chinese side is refusing to take part in the hearings at the Hague, saying the arbitration aims to deny Chinese sovereignty and its maritime interests in the South China Sea.
Impressions: Rediscovering Chinese Music in NYAnchor:
This year's Princeton International Chinese Music Festival has come to an end at Carnegie Hall in New York, with a closing concert from the China National Traditional Orchestra.
CRI's He Fei has more.
Reporter:
Several musicians stand on the auditorium62 and around the balconies, playing their traditional Chinese instruments in an attempt to mimic63 the sound of birds chirping64.
The concert "Impressions: Rediscovering Chinese Music" has been put on by the China National Traditional Orchestra.
"I think it's very interesting especially when they played the instruments in the audience, it was very engaging, which I found very new and it's very refreshing65 because I wouldn't expect something like that to come from the traditional Chinese orchestra.""I think they're unbelievably great. I just enjoyed it so so much and it's wonderful. The passion of the musicians and the conductor was just … he put his whole heart into it. It was really very moving."After more than a decade, the CNTO has returned to Carnegie Hall to try to put traditional Chinese works into a more modern light.
Invited by the Princeton International Chinese Music Festival, the orchestra includes 110 musicians, including famed musicians such as Wang Ciheng, Wu Yuxia, Tang Feng and Feng Mantian.
A series of new concepts have been added to the performances, including singing and chanting to try to amplify66 the mood of the music.
Feng Mantian, a renowned67 Zhongruan artist, singing Xintianyou, a traditional folk song from the northern part of Shaanxi province.
Feng says traditional Chinese folk music can be adapted to create a more modern feel.
"Folk music today has become a way to showcase how Chinese people look at music in the 21st century and our new understanding of Chinese culture. For the first time, I've introduced western blues68 guitar skills into my Zhongruan playing, and surprisingly it can be transformed to create a taste of the northern part of Shaanxi's folk tunes69. To me it's like using English to tell a Chinese story."Wu Yuxia is the orchestra's deputy president.
"Culture can lead us ahead. We hope our unique interpretation70 of traditional Chinese music will be embraced and understood by more audiences so that more and more people will come to support traditional Chinese music."The Carnegie Hall concert is the Beijing-based ensemble's last performance in the US this year.
The orchestra also performed in the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. before arriving in New York.
For CRI, I'm He Fei in New York.
Spanish ruling Popular Party wins electionsSpanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's Popular Party has won the right to form a new government.
However, Sunday's election has seen his party lose its majority, dropping 63 seats, meaning the Popular Party will have to govern from a minority position for the first time.
"I and all Spaniards are aware of the fact that we have lived through four difficult years, four hard years. We had to take difficult decisions. Those are the ones that any government leader does not like to take. But me, I am telling the more than seven million (who voted for us) that as prime minister of my government, I have done what I thought was good for Spain's general interests."The Socialist71 Party has come in 2nd, taking 90-seats.
This vote has also upended Spain's traditional two-party system.
Left-wing Podemos has taken 69 seats, while the center-right Citizens Party has claimed 40 seats in the parliament.
For more on the outcome of the Spanish election, CRI's Mike Butterworth spoke72 earlier with Jesus Gamiz, a Spanish journalist based in Beijing.
Putin: Russia Ready to Cooperate with EuropeRussian President Vladimir Putin is taking an open swing at Europe, suggesting its being manipulated by the United States.
Putin, in a documentary aired on Russian television, contends Europe has transferred part of its sovereignty to the United States through NATO.
Despite this, Putin also says Russia hopes to continue working with - what he calls - his "European partners.""It seems to me that interests of European countries - maybe I am wrong and then I should be told otherwise - are in uniting efforts with Russia in economic, in politics, in the fight against terror, in the fight for resolving environmental problems and in the fight with the organized crime. And we are ready for this work."At the same time, Putin has also suggested any international action which is taken in a country should require the consensus73 of the UN Security Council, implying the US-backed coalition74 action in Syria isn't backed by the United Nations.
Israel, Turkey to Normalize RelationsIsrael and Turkey have reached a preliminary agreement toward restoring full diplomatic relations.
The two countries, once close regional allies, broke off diplomatic ties following an Israeli raid of a Gaza-bound protest ship in 2010 which left 10 Turkish activists75 dead.
Omer Celik is a spokesperson for Turkey's ruling AK Party.
"Turkey has three precise conditions for normalising ties - an apology, compensation and the lifting of an embargo76 on Gaza. Our first condition is fulfilled but the remaining two have not been met yet. Therefore, our people should know we have no doubt that this draft will be shaped within these parameters77."Observers are suggesting the political reproachment may be motivated by Turkey's falling-out with Russia over the downing of a Russian fighter jet last month.
Israeli officials are suggesting the Turkish side is looking toward Israel for the import of natural gas, with the two sides set to discuss the possibility of a pipeline78 being built between the two countries.
Turkey currently relies on Russia for much of its natural gas supplies.
Thailand does not Deny Slavery in Shimp Industry Reported by APThe Thai government is rebuffing suggestions its been turning a blind-eye to slavery in the country's shrimp79 industry.
Thai authorities have been forced to respond after media reports of wide-spread abuse of migrant laborers80 in the shrimp industry.
Thailand is one of the largest shrimp exporters in the world.
Its government is being accused of ignoring the slave-like conditions many of the migrant workers have to endure in an attempt to keep its shrimping industry a world leader.
Thai government spokesperson Sansern Kaewkamnerd, speaking through an English translator.
"The speaker (Kaewkamnerd) replied that this is incorrect because in order to become the world leading exporter of the shrimp, there are several factors that need to be considered. For example, the trust from the consumer, the quality of the product, and this result in that Thai became the leading shrimp exporter in the world, and the cost of the labor is only part of that picture, so it cannot be concluded like that."Thai Union, one of the world's biggest seafood81 exporters, is promising82 changes to its policies, saying it wants to ensure that the shrimp it buys from its suppliers hasn't been farmed with slave labor.

Chinese lawmakers to consider registration-based stock listing reformChinese lawmakers are set to deliberate a registration-based stock listing program as part of its week-long legislative session, which began this Monday in Beijing.
If approved, it would shift from an approval-based stock listing system to a registration-based one in both Shanghai and Shenzhen for a period of 2-years.
This would give the bourses themselves the ability to decide which companies will be allowed to list, rather than requiring approvals from the government.
Observers expect this will create much easier access to the capital markets for the hundreds of companies which have been stuck in the IPO pipeline for the past few years.
China's largest home developer, Vanke, says it is planning to disclose details of its restructuring plans by January as the company looks set for a bidding war with its biggest shareholder100, Baoneng Group.
Trading of Vanke shares was suspended on Friday.
Its shares will resume trading by January 18th, should the board fail to convene101 and seek a delay in their resumption or if the Shenzhen stock exchange doesn't approve an extension of the trading halt by the date.
Analysts102 estimate vanke's share suspension is likely to last three months, given the size of the assets and complication of the restructuring procedures.
Vanke's President Yu Liang has gone on-record saying the company is facing a "hostile takeover".
Last week, Chair Wang Shi said Baoneng lacks sufficient credibility and may have a negative impact on Vanke's credit rating and reputation.
Vanke has a market capitalization of 40 billion US dollars.
Baoneng Group replaced China Resources as Vanke's largest shareholder earlier this month, holding a more than 22 percent stake.
For more on this, CRI's Shane Bigham earlier spoke with Mike Bastin, Director of the China Business Centre in London.

Companies including China's Haier Electronics Group are weighing offers for the unit.
Sweden's Electrolux had originally put in an offer of some 3.3 billion U.S. dollars.
However, GE has since restarted the sales process after backing out of the agreement with Electrolux earlier this month.
The U.S. Justice Department had expressed concerns the deal would leave the market for range sales in the U.S. too heavily concentrated in the hands of Electrolux and Whirlpool.
12-bln-dollar electric car deal signed in ChinaA leading Chinese leasing firm has signed a deal worth 78 billion yuan, or around 12 billion U.S. dollars, with a Chinese-owned Swedish vehicle company.
