Green Energy
Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has transmitted 62.67 billion kWh of electricity generated from renewable sources from 2011 to July this year, according to local authorities.
The electricity, which was mainly generated by wind and solar power, helped reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 48.88 million tons and sulfur dioxide by more than 60,000 tons, State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co. Ltd. said on August 12.
The installed generating capacity of wind power in Xinjiang reached 19.25 million kw, and that of photovoltaic power totaled 10.22 million kw, according to the Development and Reform Commission of Xinjiang.
Xinjiang started transmitting electricity generated from renewable sources out of the region in 2011, and large-scale outbound power transmission started in 2014 when a transmission project was put into operation between Hami City in eastern Xinjiang and Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan Province.
Heritage Protection
The National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA) is soliciting opinions from the public for a draft revision to the law on cultural heritage protection.
The draft intends to pool public wisdom on issues including protection of cultural heritage, appropriate use, streamlining the ownership system, social participation and sharing resources, the NCHA said on its website.
Members of the public may submit their opinions via mail, e-mail, and the NCHA's Weibo and WeChat accounts before September 9, the statement said.

“哎哟——”恭建兵痛得大叫，猴子一样在人群里上窜下跳，左冲右躲，大叫着，“你怎么不扎陈山利，就欺负我！吃柿子拣软的捏。”
The revised regulation adjusts the procedure for identifying a martyr and entrusts a national commission in charge of Communist Party of China and state honors to review the list of martyrs identifi ed by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.
The statement also asks the governments at the county level and above to hold ceremonies to give the martyrs' families the honor certifi cates on Martyrs' Day every year to show respect.

Disposable Income
Chinese residents saw their percapita disposable income surge by nearly 60 times during the past seven decades thanks to the steady economic expansion.
The per-capita disposable income stood at about 49.7 yuan ($7) in 1949, and topped 28,200 yuan ($4,006) in 2018, registering a growth of over 59 times factoring in infl ation, a report released on August 9 by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed.
The steady income growth also led to a continuous increase in consumption spending. Chinese residents' per-capita consumption spending surged from 88.2 yuan ($12.53) in 1956 to 19,853 yuan ($2,820) in 2018, growing 28.5 times in real terms, NBS data showed.
Production Safety
The Ministry of Emergency Management on August 8 reported sound production safety records in China in July with fewer production-related accidents and deaths compared with the same period last year.
The ministry reported one less severe accident and 14 fewer deaths compared to the same month last year, while moderately severe accidents and deaths in July were down 24.4 percent and 28.2 percent year on year, respectively.
Chemical plants and coal mines were the most notable sites of production accidents, with 15 people dying in a gas factory blast on July 19 in central China's Henan Province, according to an offi cial of the ministry.
Efforts should be made to defuse safety risks, eradicate problems and enforce accountability to prevent accidents in areas such as hazardous chemicals and mines, the offi cial added.

As the country braces for a potential spate of disasters like typhoons, fl oods, mudslides and landslides in August, the ministry also urged local authorities to issue disaster alerts in time and warn production personnel and residents in affected areas.
为了保证工程建设项目的质量，国家制定了一系列有关工程项目各个专业的质量标准和规范，同时每个项目的设计文件也都规定了项目在实施过程中应遵守的规范。但是在项目实施过程中，有些规范和标准经常被突破。较为严重的还会出现使用中的质量问题，比如设备的安装没有足够的维护保障，空间管线的布置杂乱无章，因为考虑到局部问题而被迫牺牲外观效果等这些问题都影响到项目完工后的质量效果。
China introduced a regulation on production safety in April and carried out safety inspections.
Judicial Explanation

2018年9月10日习总书记在全国教育大会上强调：“教师是人类灵魂的工程师，是人类文明的传承者，承载着传播知识、传播思想、传播真理，塑造灵魂、塑造生命、塑造新人的时代重任”。由此可见，高校辅导员肩负着立德树人的神圣使命，只有谨记教育之初心，率先垂范，为人师表，立德、立言、立行，不断提高自身学识修养，才能做好学生健康成长的人生导师。笔者认为，高校辅导员具体可以从如下四个方面着手努力：

The people's courts should also inform the convicts of their right to meet their close relatives and approve their applications for recording their last words on audio or video devices, it adds.
Requests for meeting convicts under the death penalty by close relatives should be allowed unless the convicts refuse the meeting, the judicial interpretation says, adding that the convicts have the right to ask for a meeting with their friends or relatives other than close relatives on the condition of safety.
The convicts' requests for meeting with their minor children should be granted with the consent of the minors' guardians and
conducted in a way that brings no physical or psychological harm to the minors, it says.

New Partnership
Global investment fi rm KKR & Co., Inc. has bought a majority stake in the Chinese mainland business of NVC Lighting Holding Ltd., a leading lighting products maker in the country.
According to a statement jointly issued by the two companies, once the strategic partnership is set up, KKR will pay $794 million for a 70-percent stake in NVC's China business, while the latter will continue to hold the remaining 30 percent of equity.
“We believe KKR will contribute international resources and operational expertise to support the longterm development of NVC Lighting,” said Wang Donglei, Chair of the Board of NVC Lighting, which was founded in 1998 in the southern province of Guangdong.
China is a core focus of KKR's Asia-Pacifi c strategy. It has invested more than $4.5 billion since 2007 to support competitive local fi rms to develop into industry leaders, according to KKR.
Real Estate Check
The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) will launch a targeted inspection into banks' property-related businesses in 32 cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, to see whether their credit policies are in line with government regulations.
The regulator will also scrutinize banks' fi nancing services for property and land development to prevent loans to ineligible companies or projects, as well as the implementation of differentiated credit policies for individual housing.
The move came after the People's Bank of China, the central bank, called on lenders to keep their loans in the property sector at a reasonable level while increasing credit support for key areas and weak links.
Banks should adhere to the principle of “houses are for living in, not for speculation,” adjust and optimize their credit structures and implement long-term mechanisms to maintain the sound development of the real estate market, the central bank stressed.
Earlier data showed China's loans to the real estate sector grew at a slower pace in the fi rst half of the year as purchase restrictions remain in place in major cities.
As of August, 1,228 nursing facilities and community service centers had been connected to the platform.
At the end of the second
quarter, the outstanding loans to the property sector stood at 11.04 trillion yuan ($1.57 trillion), up 14.6 percent year on year, according to data from the central bank.
Renewable Capacity
China's wind and solar capacity additions recovered as recent policies cleared the wait-and-see approach of many renewable companies, Fitch Ratings said in its latest report.
New solar installation recovered in the second quarter as solar projects approved in 2018 were required to start operations before July 2019 to qualify for a higher feed-in tariff.
Meanwhile, wind capacity additions, which were 58 percent higher in the second quarter from the same period last year, are likely to continue to increase throughout the year as wind farm developers are rushing to fi nish projects before 2020 to secure the higher feed-in tariff approved before 2019, according to the report.
Rich Selections
Tourists from Kazakhstan visit a garment shop at the Horgos International Border Cooperation Center on the China-Kazakhstan border, on August 11.

The government has since April incentivized grid parity for unsubsidized wind and solar projects.
In addition, the pricing mechanism for subsidized utility-scale solar and wind projects shifted in July from the previous governmentprescribed feed-in tariffs to biddingbased prices, which equals the thermal feed-in tariff plus subsidy.
Logistics Investment

the death sentence, the execution
The Chinese logistics sector's continuous expansion and pursuit of faster, smarter and greener services at lower costs will drive up demand for related products and services, according to Xia.
Offi cial data showed that China's total value of social logistics goods grew 6.1 percent year on year in the fi rst half of 2019, while total logistics costs edged up.
The Switzerland-based multinational fi rm, which supplies products such as conveyors and rollers to clients including courier fi rms and airports, saw its sales gain 8.4 percent year on year in the period, with the Asia-Pacifi c region being one of the major contributors.
The company started operations in China in 2002 by opening a factory in east China's industrial hub Suzhou, which later became one of Asia's major regional technological centers, the company's only such center capable of producing a complete spectrum of key products.
Xia said the company will continue to invest in the region to share the growth and evolution of the local logistics sector.

WORLD CHAMPION JOINS RESCUE WORK
Xu Yaping, world canoeing champion, has recently caught media attention for joining rescue work in a typhoon-hit city in east China's Zhejiang Province.
A photo of Xu wearing a lifejacket and cap and looking exhausted after 10 hours' work saving people from fl oods in Zhejiang has gone viral on Weibo, a popular social media platform.
Typhoon Lekima landed in Zhejiang on August 10. On the night of August 10, the Linhai City Public Security Bureau asked the public to lend steamboats for rescue work on social media.
Seeing the call for help, Xu, now an aquatic sports teacher at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, contacted professional rescuers, formed a fiveperson team and headed for Linhai.
After more than 10 hours fi ghting fl ood, Xu and her team helped more than 30 people to safe places.
Regulating Social E-Commerce Beijing Youth Daily August 13
The industry of e-commerce on social networking platforms has maintained rapid growth in China in 2019, according to a recent report released by the Internet Society of China. The market scale of the industry is expected to reach 2.06 trillion yuan ($292 billion) this year, up 63.2 percent year on year. The number of social e-commerce consumers has reached 512 million.
Social e-commerce is a branch of ecommerce that involves the use of social media for help in online buying and selling of products and services.
The report also pointed out that traditional e-commerce platforms are eyeing the social ecommerce market. For instance, e-commerce giant JD.com has established a social e-commerce department. There will be increasingly fierce competition in the social e-commerce market in future. Therefore, it's urgent to strengthen the regulation of the sector.
However, a series of problems have emerged in the social e-commerce industry, such as the prevalence of fake and shoddy products.
Some social e-commerce platforms have also been found to be involved in pyramid schemes, which are illegal. As social e-commerce is mainly conducted among friends and other social networks, it can easily give rise to pyramid schemes.
In order to solve the problems of social ecommerce, relevant laws and regulations need to be improved in order to crack down on illegal activities. Though the E-Commerce Law which came into force in January this year has no specific section for social e-commerce, the draft Regulation on Social E-Commerce published by the Ministry of Commerce in July 2018 prohibits pyramid schemes, illegal fundraising, and fake promotion in social e-commerce. Hopefully, the regulation will help standardize the social ecommerce industry after it is enacted.
Recreating Pedestrian Streets Oriental Outlook August 8
Pedestrian streets are a symbol of a city's prosperity. Many international metropolises have pedestrian streets which best capture the city or even the country's characteristics, such as Arbat Street in Moscow, Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York.
Over the past decades, many Chinese cities have built pedestrian streets. These streets play an important role in satisfying consumer demand and improving their city's image.
However, many pedestrian streets can hardly meet the needs of consumption upgrade at present as China pursues a development mode focused on quality.
In December 2018, the Ministry of Commerce issued a notice on renovating pedestrian streets in China, stating that the program will start in 11 pilot cities fi rst.
“The Belt and Road Initiative is a flexible economic-oriented project. It does not come with political pressure but instead it is about giving participating countries the opportunity to take advantage of economic opportunities.”

“Rising education levels, increasing workloads and stress, fierce societal competition, the impact on careers of having a baby and the high cost of marriage all contribute to the growing trend of late marriage.”
Xue Yali, Associate Professor at the Family Study Center of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, in a recent interview with China Daily
“Over the past year, trade friction between the two countries proved that by continuously imposing new tariffs on Chinese imports, the U.S. cannot change the fundamental trends of Chinese economic development.”
Lou Feng, a researcher at the Institute of Quantitative and Technical Economics under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, on August 14
“I used to dismiss acupuncture as an old-fashioned pseudoscience. The treatment is long, the process is painful, and after all, the recovery speed is so slow! However, the miracle of my recent treatment and recovery totally changed my mind.”
Isaebella Watson, a Briton who studies communication at a Beijing university, commenting on her experience of receiving acupuncture treatment in Beijing
Wangfujing Street in downtown
Beijing is among the 11 pilot pedestrian streets. As the fi rst commercial street in Beijing, Wangfujing Street has failed to live up to its name in recent years, a result of competition from e-commerce and other commercial centers in the capital. In order to change the situation, multiple measures have been taken to upgrade the street. WF CENTRAL, Hongkong Land's retail center which opened in May 2018, attracted a number of high-end international brands. In addition, the street is being renovated with a new square built, billboards torn down and green plants placed, creating a leisurely space for residents.
In the next three years, the renovation will be expanded. Thirty to 50 more pedestrian streets with a beautiful environment, abundant shopping and distinctive culture will be built in major cities across the country.
Attracting Talent Qianjiang Evening News August 13
Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province, has recently issued a revised edition of the catalogue of high-caliber talents, adding 88 new evaluation criteria. This is the second revision since the catalogue was fi rst published in 2015, and it is undoubtedly another vigorous measure by Hangzhou to attract capable people.
The revised edition is more market-oriented, incorporating yearly salary and writers' royalties into the criteria. Talents working in fi elds closely related to people's livelihood such as education and healthcare are given more importance. Compared with previous evaluation systems which were based on degrees, professional titles and academic papers, the current catalogue puts more emphasis on ability, performance and contribution.
The new catalogue will enable more people to enjoy preferential treatment in housing, healthcare and children's education. It will encourage local talents to stay, while attracting more outsiders.
Talents are key to a city's development. A city's development requires a diversifi ed talent pool. The future competition between cities will be a competition for talents. This is why cities in China are vying for talented people. However, just the number of talented people is not the most important thing. A reasonable talent structure under which all kinds of talents are suffi -ciently utilized is of higher value.
CHARITABLE AGRICULTURAL SCIENTIST PASSES AWAY
Lu Yonggen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, died in Guangzhou, capital city of south China's Guangdong Province, at the age of 89 on August 12.
Before Lu died, he donated his life savings valued at more than 8.8 million yuan ($1.25 million) to the Guangzhou-based South China Agricultural University to support the excellent young teachers and students from poor families in the university.It was the largest single donation from an individual in the university's 108 years of history.Lu, a famous agricultural scientist, continued his lifelong generosity in passing, donating his body to support medical research and education.
Born in 1930 in Hong Kong, Lu joined the Communist Party of China in 1949. He became a teacher at South China Agricultural University after graduation in 1953. Lu was appointed president of the university in 1983, and became a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1993. Lu was selected as one of the 10 persons who moved Chinese people the most in 2017.
