Top NewsU.S. Ambassador to China hails President Xi's upcoming state visit to the USU.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus is hailing Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming state visit to the United States.

He believes the visit will expand practical cooperation and improve candid communication between the two countries.

"First is the opportunity to more fully expand our cooperative engagement with China. Each passing year there are more and more areas - environment, economic, political. It's a great opportunity. The second opportunity is for more frank discussions between our two countries. It's quite clear to me that we're entering into a new phase in the relationship."China and the US have been stepping up efforts to forge a new type of major country relationship.

Baucus says both sides should face up differences while engaging in candid cooperation.

"In the meantime, as China grows, the United States and China have to adjust a little differently than in the past. And that's where I think it's really important to be honest and candid with each other because our goals are the same. We want a future for our kids and our grand kids."Chinese President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to the United States from Sept. 22 to 25 at the invitation of U.S. President Barack Obama.

Xi's U.S. Visit to Enhance Mutual Trust: ExpertsAnchor:

One of the main areas of concern to be addressed this week as part of Chinese President Xi Jinping's trip to the US will be trust.

CRI's Luo Wen with more on what observers on both sides are saying about this important issue.

Reporter:

Noting differences between China and the U.S. over issues in the South China Sea, Professor Wang Gengwu with the National University of Singapore says he believes China is not trying to create maritime hegemony.

"So for the Chinese to be concerned to build a navy in the context of a global economy, that China has joined part of that global economy, not to have any kind of sense of security at sea when the economic development of China today depends on maritime trade. I am not saying that China is challenging that, not at all. But what the Chinese are saying is now they face a problem of having to protect their naval and maritime interests. And this is not a question of a dispute between two equals. Can there ever be a true balance between those two powers, I think it needs understanding on both sides."Clarifying misunderstandings is expected to be one of the main priorities of the Chinese President's trip to the United States.

Professor Robert Keohane with Princeton University says he believes if the two sides can get past their differences and work together, cooperation will work in both their interests.

"Cooperation comes from discord not from harmony. The rise of China increases discord so then the problem is a challenge for cooperation, can there be some way to bring cooperation out of discord. If there can be then the cooperation will be much wider, much more global than ever there was before. "Professor Xia Liping, head of Political Science & International Relations at Tongji University notes both countries are tied together economically.

"The economic interdependence between the world's two largest economies has rendered China and the U.S. "inseparable." If the two sides confront each other, both will suffer the consequences. And I think China will suffer more considering its current situation. In a state of conflict, China will never realize a peaceful rise, peaceful development and peaceful reunification. For the U.S., cooperation with China is also in its interests."Princton's Robert Keohane echo's that suggestion, saying he believes conflict will just end up hurting one-another.

"In a world of great possibility of destructive harm from weapons, the only way to work forward is a win-win situation when all the major powers can gain from some set of bargains and agreements. It's not harmony because there are different interests. So from my point of view, the most important thing is to see how to accept the reality of discord, to work with the issues and ask which are the most important issues are for each side and reach cooperative arrangements which give each side what is more important to it in the context of an overall favorable response while giving up in each case what is less important to them."Chinese President Xi Jinping is due to arrive in the US on Tuesday, beginning with a stop in the northwest city of Seattle.

From there, he's due to travel to Washington for a meeting with US President Barack Obama before ending his trip in New York.

CRI's Liu Yuanhui reports.

Ralph Haupter, Microsoft's Greater China CEO, says Microsoft will want to hear more about China's plan for economic restructuring when President Xi Jinping arrives.

Microsoft's Ralph Haupter says he's very interested to hear what Xi Jinping has to say about technological innovation.

"I think having the President visit in the United States and establishing through that visit a platform for technology discussion, technology information exchange and giving an opportunity for companies on exchanging their economic vision and interest is just unique. Having that opportunity coming forward is fantastic. So specific outcomes we will all need wait to see. But I felt very encouraged on him giving in the interest, in industry, him giving the signal on the interest of helping companies to drive innovation is fantastic."Haupter says Microsoft's current position in China puts the company in a good position when it comes to developing talent and opportunities from the country.

"When there is a huge portfolio of innovation coming from market here, the good thing and exciting thing for us is Microsoft being here in China is that I think we are engaging with these companies in many many ways and they are using our technology in many ways. Because we are here in China to be in market and play with companies for a better off economy, for the better off the success of the companies.

Xi Jinping is scheduled to have dinner with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates at his lakeside estate before making his way to Washington.

After those, there are famous works such as the James Bond film series, Mr. Bean, and also the recent Sherlock, Shaun the Sheep, Paddington Bear, Downtown Abbey as well as Octonauts. Those films are household names in China now."UK Minister for Culture Communications & Sport Ed Vaizey gives his thoughts on the agreement.

Premier urges progress in SOE reformsChinese Premier Li Keqiang has called on state-owned enterprises to get on-board with the government's new plans for reform.

Li Keqiang made the remarks at a meeting to discuss the SOE reform guidelines laid out earlier this month by the State Council.

"We must be unwavering in consolidating and developing the public sector of the economy, while at the same time encouraging and supporting the development of the private sector to fully unlock the benefits of the reforms for the people to enjoy."Under the new plans, the government is proposing mixed ownership of certain State-Owned companies.

A corporate system of governance for the companies is also being put forward.

Li Keqiang says the government is going to "correctly handle" the relationship between itself and the market.

"State firms are first and foremost independent market entities that shoulder the responsibility for their own profits and losses. All their operations are aimed at making profits. To better manage the SOEs, the government needs to follow market economics."There are around 150-thousand state-run companies in China.

They employ over 30-million people and hold some 100-trillion yuan in overall assets.

First-half year stats show the state-owned sector here in China showed an overall decline in profits of some 2.3 percent.

Chinese company invests in Malaysian rail to boost maritime silk roadAnchor:

CRI's Xyee brings you a closer look at the railway development in Malaysia, a geologically important country along the Maritime Silk Road.

Reporter:

18-year-old Adawiah has to take the inter-city train every week between her home and school.

"The new train is more comfortable and much faster than the older one. The women-only compartments also make me feel safer."The train Adawiah takes comes from the first order that China's railway manufacturer CRRC Corporation Limited's gets from Malaysia. After five years of participation in the Malaysian market, CRRC now shares 80 percent of the market and its ASEAN manufacturing center in Batu Gajah also went into operation months ago.

Wang Luke, general manager of a branch company of CRRC explains why CRRC can become the main driving force of Malaysia's railway transportation equipment.

"Because our first order is successful. After the 38 trains put into operation in 2010, all of them have been running well. Besides, we also provide maintenance service for them. So our clients are satisfied with us and thus trust us. After that we received orders of light rail and trunk rail in succession."CRRC also provides 90 percent of its positions at the manufacturing center in Batu Gajah with the locals and shares the most advanced technologies with them.

As CRRC's module of integrating products, service, investment and technology grows mature in Malaysia, it has also attracted many clients from surrounding countries.

Malaysian transport minister Liow Tiong Lai highlights China's initiative of the 21st century Maritime Silk Road, saying it is a good opportunity to improve Malaysia's transport network.

"As the transport minister, my job is to ensure the construction of railway and harbors, which are the most important part of Malaysia's infrastructure construction. Malaysia fully supports China's 'One Belt One Road' initiative because this initiative goes in line with Malaysia's current economic adjustment and reform and it will benefit both China and Malaysia."Chinese counselor to Malaysia Wu Zhengping says since countries included in the "One Belt One Road" initiative have great demand in railway construction, the Malaysian side hopes to hop on the express train of the Chinese economy through the initiative.

"They believe the Chinese market and China's economy will bring good chance for them to develop Malaysian economy. So they are very willing to cooperate with China."China and ASEAN countries have already initiated a series of cooperation programs.

They have also decided to sign a framework agreement on China-ASEAN city-to-city cooperation.

Tsipras wins Greek electionsChina on Monday congratulates former prime minister Alexis Tsipras' Syriza party on its victory in the general election.

China also expresses willingness to cooperate with the new government.

With around 60-percent of the votes counted, Syriza is projected to be just short of a majority.

However, its expected Syriza will be able to cobble together a coalition.

Opposition party New Democracy has already conceded defeat.

Tsipras says the results shows the Greek people are backing his decision to sign a new financial bailout package.

"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this great victory, for this clear victory. This victory is.. We gave a tough and difficult fight and today I feel vindicated because the Greek people gave a clear mandate for us to continue to battle in and out of the country to rise up our people's dignity."The latest figures give Syriza 35-percent of the vote.

New Democracy will stay on as the main opposition party.

Dimitris Sotiropoulos, Political Science Professor at the University of Athens, analysizes Tsipras has a better message to offer than his opponents.

"The message is that he has been obliged to sign the memorandum of the 13th of July, however he will do his best to alleviate the income losses and other negative social effects which will certainly take place as soon as the new third bailout package starts to be implemented."The snap election was called in August after the Tsipras government signed an unpopular new financial bailout deal with Greece's international creditors.

To mend party divisions, Scott Morrison was appointed as treasurer, handing the conservative lawmaker the top economic job in the new cabinet.

Analysts believe the pressure that Turnbull faces now is to keep and lift the confidence for his party among the public in order to win the next government election.

Dozens of Refugees Missing as Vessel Sinks off the Island of Lesbos13 migrants, including six children, have been reportedly killed after their vessel attempting to cross from Turkey sank off the island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea in Greece over the weekend, Reuters cites a Turkish coastguard.

Survivors said that the boat was overturned by waves created from a larger passenger vessel that was sailing nearby.

Official data shows over 300 thousand undocumented refugees have reached Greece's shores since the beginning of this year.

In the meantime, US Secretary of State John Kerry says the Obama administration will increase the number of refugees the United States is willing to accept in 2017 to 100-thousand.

This is up from the 70-thousand the US took in last year.

Kerry has made the announcement after meeting with a group of Syrian refugees who are seeking asylum in Berlin.

"I'm pleased to announced that today the United States will significantly increase our numbers for refugee resettlement in the course of this next year and the year after. Last year, I think we were at 70 thousand, we are now going to go up to 85 thousand with at least, and I underscore the 'at least': it is not a ceiling, it's a floor, of ten thousands over the next year from Syria specifically, even as we also receive more refugees from other areas."Under the new plan, the U.S. limit on refugee visas will be increased to 85-thousand next year.

That will rise to 100-thousand the following year.

The US has only taken in about 15-hundred Syrian refugees since the start of the conflict more than four years ago.

Continental Europe has been absorbing hundreds of thousands.

Those pilots are best known as the Flying Tigers.

The Chennault Aviation and Military Museum in Monroe launched an expanded Chennault Exhibit Area depicting the history of Claire Lee Chennault, who was the commander of the Flying Tigers.

The museum's director and Chennault's granddaughter Nell Calloway said it is important to honor China and the U.S.'s wartime cooperation.

"If we had not all come together at that time and fought against the Japanese, our histories might be very different. So what now we are trying to show how cooperation between all of our countries is so very important to help improve our relations today. "The event also honored surviving Flying Tigers pilots, including Richard Sherman, 93.

Sherman expressed gratitude for the kindness shown to him by Chinese people during the war.

"They were good to me. They fed me; they clothed me. They gave me house to live in. They were very gracious to us. I love the Chinese people".

Today, the flying tigers have become one of the symbols of China-US friendship.

Nepal adopts first democratic constitutionNepal has adopted its first democratic constitution on Sunday in a largely peaceful event.

The new constitution is a historic step for the nation that has seen great hardship over the past decades.

Satya Pahari is a Maoist Constituent Assembly member.

"We have discussed a lot to address the issues of exploited people in general by the amendment of constitution, and it has been successful to address the six-decade long aspirations of the people, and Nepal now has entered into a new age."The promulgation has exacerbated divisions in some places with 40 people killed in protests against it in recent weeks.

Circuit Breaker MechanismAnchor:

Today is the last day for public opinions on the impending creation of a "circuit breaker mechanism" for the bourses here on the mainland.

Under the proposed plan, the China Securities Regulatory Commission is recommending trading-curbs kick-in after a 5-percent rise or fall in the CSI 300 Index compared to the previous day's close.

The 5-percent benchmark would trigger a 30-minute suspension of all trading if it happens before 2:30pm.

After 2:30pm, a 5-percent dip will shut down the bourses for the day.

At the same time, a 7-percent swing will kill the markets for the day, regardless of what time it happens.

For more on China's introducing this mechanism, CRI's Paul James earlier spoke to Mike Bastin, director of China Business Center based in London.

Chinese think tank predicts 6.9-pct GDP growth for 2015A report released by a state think tank says China's 2015 GDP growth is expected to be 6.9 percentChinese Academy of Social Sciences revealed that economic growth is likely to slow as institutional barriers such as a rigid household registration system and lack of human capital drag down GDP.

It notes that China relies more on infrastructure development and consumption brought on by urbanization than by manufacturing-based industrialization.

The report points out that the next five years will be critical for China's economic transition to slower and steadier growth, and measures should be taken to deal with a reduction in labor supply, slowing investment and changing demand structures.

It adds that better top-down reform design and fostering quality human capital will be key engines to power the transition.

Milk price falls hit farmers hard in New ZealandReports are emerging that New Zealand's farmers are in crisis, with a world milk glut and a decline in Chinese demand for imported dairy products.

Milk prices are said to be down by some 50 percent.

Many farmers are borrowing to stay afloat.

Chris Engel, a farmer with 400 cows near Carterton, has been farming for more than three decades.

He said that there have been droughts and other challenges in the past but never such bleak pay days.

"Well we saw it happening on the cash-flows way back in April, May, and could see well ahead that there was going to be just massive deficits. And just had to be in constant contact with the bank, updating them regularly, to get their support to pay the bills."Trying to prevent a farming-led recession, New Zealand's central bank has cut benchmark interest rates three times this year, as it seeks to give farmers and other exporters a boost by lowering the value of the country's currency.

Fonterra, which collects and sells most of the country's milk has also offered hundreds of millions of dollars in interest-free loans, repayable only when the price of milk rises.

Theo Spierings, the chief executive of Fonterra believes China is very serious about developing its own supply of milk.

But he says considering the huge demand there will still be a place for foreign suppliers.
