An antique shop owner was recently charged at the Xicheng District People's Procuratorate for illegally selling ivory, the
Beijing Morning Post reported.
The suspect, surnamed Ge, is accused of selling three ivory accessories amounting to 62,876 yuan ($10,261) between 2012

made from the remains of endangered animals is illegal in China.
This April, Ge also swindled Zhu by agreeing to keep an ivory ring on a 5,000 yuan deposit. According to the report, the actual
value of the ring was only 1,042 yuan.

manufacture, the label of the manufacturer, and quality certificates.

surnamed Che was also given a sentence of six months in prison with a year of probation and a fine of 2,000 yuan.

Chinese man sentenced to imprisonment over rumor-mongering
English.news.cn 2014-11-13 22:29:28 Shanghai
The head of a private IT company was sentenced to two-years-and-nine-months imprisonment for defamation by a local court
in Shanghai on Thursday.
Fu Xuesheng, 48, who was the chairman and legal representative of Shanghai LabInfo Technologies Ltd., was found guilty of
creating and spreading online rumors about government officials and company executives, according to the Zhabei District
People's Court in Shanghai Municipality. The rumors were spread on the Internet from August 2010 to August 2013, and his
posts, which were open to comments, were viewed by hundreds of thousands of people, according to the court. In one case,
Fu fabricated that a man called Huang, a legal representative of an interior design company who later died, had bribed a
deputy district head in Shanghai, where Huang's company was located. He and Huang were previously involved in a financial
dispute. Fu also spread rumors about the district official, saying he had accepted more than two billion yuan (about 320
million U.S. dollars) in bribes, owned over 60 houses, had ten mistresses and had murdered Huang. After Fu failed to win a
tender issued by China's petrochemical giant Sinopec in Dec. 2012, he took "revenge" on the winning bidder by spreading the
rumor that it had used an African man to sexually bribe a Sinopec executive surnamed Zhang, who helped it to win the
contract. Fu's actions had impacted society and seriously harmed social order. He violated criminal law and should be
punished for defamation, the court added. Fu was arrested by the Shanghai Police last August.
According to a judicial interpretation issued by the Supreme Court and Procuratorate, defamation charges can be levelled
against the authors of online posts that are deemed rumors and viewed by more than 5,000 users or retweeted more than 500
times. Defamation charges carry sentences of up to three years in prison.

Man on trial for ramming car into people, killing 2
2014/11/13 1:34:05 Pudong New Area, Shanghai
A MAN stood on trial yesterday for killing two people and injuring six others with his car during a confrontation that turned
violent between two property management companies in the Pudong New Area, the Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People‟s
Prosecutors told the court that a dispute broke out around midnight on January 1 when the Tonglai Property Management Co
came to take charge of the Datang Shengshi Community on 801 Yinghua Road but was stopped by the old management
company Shengtang. Shengtang refused to move out as it claimed that the right procedures were not carried out for
management changes. The suspect Hu Rong, who worked for Shengtang, parked his black Santana at the entrance of the
community to stop the new company from taking over. But it soon turned violent and Hu‟s car was smashed with iron rods. Hu
then drove the car at a high speed — 75 kilometers per hour — and rammed it into a crowd of people. Two people died and
six others were injured, prosecutors said. Hu fled from the scene. At the trial yesterday, Hu, 52, admitted he knocked down
people but claimed he did not do it with the intention to kill and that it definitely did not involve eight people. "I drove back to
look for my boss and asked him not to continue with the fight," Hu said, adding that the Shengtang boss was his nephew. "The
road was empty and I did not see anyone until I hit them," Hu said. "I fled because I was afraid I would be beaten by them."
Prosecutors, however, suggested that Hu rammed into the crowd deliberately after people from Tonglai smashed his car.
Prosecutors played a police surveillance video of the incident at the court. The video clearly shows a Santana driving in the
middle of Yinghua Road, turning right at the gate of the community and crashing into people. After some people were
knocked down, the car drove away from the scene. "It is obvious there was a crowd. The road ahead of the car was empty.
Why did Hu suddenly change his lane?" prosecutors argued in the court. Hu insisted he did not see anybody, partly because
he was shortsighted and the right front light was smashed. One of the victims died on the spot, while the other died on the
way to the hospital with head injuries.
Prosecutors said Hu drove to Shinan Road where the car broke down. He abandoned the car and went to his sister‟s place.
He then surrendered to police after being informed that there were casualties. The families of the two victims and of the four
people injured in the incident have filed compensation claims against Hu, the court was told. A verdict was not announced.

Man gets 14 months in jail for eBay fraud
Shanghaidailynet November 13, 2014, Thursday Shanghai
A MAN who swindled overseas buyers of US$23,000 by promising to sell them electronic products on eBay was sentenced to
14 months in jail by the Pudong New Area People‟s Court.
Prosecutors said the 28-year-old man, surnamed Cui, opened two eBay accounts in 2012 to sell electronic products such as
surveillance cameras and chargers. Cui started to sell the products through unreserved bidding in 2013 to attract overseas
buyers. In May alone, the two accounts achieved 4,650 deals worth US$260,000. However, the prices were lower than his
expectations. After realizing he was losing money, Cui stopped delivering the goods, but continued to receive new
transactions. In November 2013, eBay‟s Shanghai branch reported the matter to Pudong police, claiming Cui had not settled
1,712 transactions.
Cui was caught at his home in Shenzhen. His family paid 400,000 yuan (US$65,311) to eBay as compensation, according to

6 members of gambling gang held
Shanghaidailynet November 8, 2014, Saturday Qingpu District, Shanghai
SIX members of a gang that ran an underground gambling den targeting teenagers have been sentenced to criminal
detention, Qingpu District police said yesterday.
The group, led by a man surnamed Huang, rigged card games to cheat about 500,000 yuan (US$81,600) out of their victims,
most of whom were aged 16 to 18. Most of the people swindled were students, police said, adding that they had been
receiving reports from victims‟ parents since August. Huang lured the teens to his den with the offer of free bets and
commissions, police said.
He also offered loans — with astronomical interest rates — to those who fell into debt. If a debtor failed to make a repayment,
they or their family would be visited by Huang‟s thugs, police said. The gambling den was busted last month, they said.

Woman charged with human trafficking
Shanghaidailynet November 7, 2014, Friday Jiading District, Shanghai
A SHANGHAI woman has been charged with human trafficking after allegedly selling a woman to a farmer in neighboring
Jiangsu Province, prosecutors in Jiading District said yesterday.
The suspect, Cao Liping, is accused of arranging the sale in August 2008 of Shen Huan — a woman described as having
learning difficulties — to a man named Wang Defu who wanted her as a wife for his son, who also has special needs,
prosecutors said. Wang is alleged to have paid Cao 15,000 yuan (US$2,450). Shen had earlier been kidnapped by two
unnamed men — one of whom was Cao‟s son — close to her home in Shanghai. The pair took her to Jiangsu and handed her
over to Cao to complete the deal. In 2009, Shen gave birth to a son. The following year she contacted her parents and told
them what had happened to her, saying she was unhappy and wanted to go home, prosecutors said. Shen‟s father reported
the matter to police, but when he went to collect his daughter, she told him she‟d changed her mind and wanted to stay with
her new family in Jiangsu. In January of this year, the father visited his daughter again and persuaded her to return to
Shanghai. Shen agreed and later testified to police that she had been abducted.
Cao was apprehended on her return to Shanghai earlier this year after learning that her son had been killed in a car crash.
The second man involved in Shen‟s abduction is still at large, prosecutors said.

'Fox Hunt' nets 22 fugitives in just 4 months
2014-11-07 09:04:59 Shanghai
Shanghai police said yesterday that they have hunted down and repatriated 22 fugitives from 14 countries and regions as part
of a national campaign to find people who had fled overseas with illicit assets.
"Fox Hunt 2014," launched in July by the Ministry of Public Security, aims to capture corrupt officials and suspects in
economic crimes who have escaped abroad. By the end of October it had netted 180 suspects. Police in Shanghai said 11 of
the fugitives had been living overseas for more than five years. Ten had been persuaded to return, often by calling them
directly or contacting their families. The other 12, who refused to return, were arrested with the help of police abroad. One of
the 22 was a 47-year-old man surnamed Zhang. The suspect in a 1997 fraud case had lived in Indonesia for 17 years after
fleeing China. Interviewed by Shanghai Daily, he said it wasn‟t a bad thing to be going home as he had wanted to return years
ago but had lacked the courage to surrender. "There is an Indonesian saying, the money you get from evil will be al taken by
evil," Zhang said. "I spent all the money I took, and couldn‟t afford even a ticket for a ship." Zhang is said to have posed as a
bank manager to help accomplices swindle a local firm out of 10 million yuan (US$1.6 million) with a forged document. After
being named by police, he took a flight to Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, on October 4, 1997. It was a time of great upheaval
in the country and police lost track of him. But in 2011, police heard that Zhang had been working as a tourist guide in Bali and
the case was reopened. Last year, after being told that Indonesian police were investigating a man with a similar description
to Zhang, Shanghai officers went to Indonesia only to find he had fled again. However, in August this year, a team of four
officers went to Indonesia again and managed to catch up with him, after some difficulties with the language. "Indonesians are
generally not good at English," one of the officers said. To help the investigation, a university professor was found who acted
as a go-between for Shanghai with Indonesian police and other officials. Zhang was arrested on September 1 at the travel
agency he was working for and repatriated 17 days later. In the early days of his flight from China‟s mainland, Zhang changed
his identity seven times, mostly by buying forged identity documents on the black market. "I have been to most areas of
Indonesia during the past 17 years. I‟ve worked as a prospector, a palm seed picker and a breeder of shrimp and grouper. I
married an Indonesian woman and have two adopted daughters," Zhang said. "I thought police wouldn‟t find me because I
have a new identity and a new life," he said. Another repatriated fugitive, a 44-year-old man surnamed Jin, was captured on
his birthday this year after he returned from Canada with his wife and children for a party.
In 1996, Jin, who was responsible for a local elevator company‟s sales, confessed to police that he had taken a US$20,000
bribe from a client. He returned the money but fled to the United States before his arrest had been approved.

Senior Qingdao cops probed over gang-related bribery charges
Updated: 2014-11-13 16:07 Qingdao City, Shandong Province
Three senior police officers in Qingdao, Shandong province, have been placed under investigation over bribery charges,
which are believed to be linked to a major gang case in 2010.
Prosecutors have detained Zhao Min, chief of the anti-terrorism division in the city's public security bureau, and two deputy
heads of its crime squads. More than 50 officials under the city's political and legal departments were implicated following a
crackdown on an organized crime group headed by notorious gang lord Nie Lei in September 2010. Nie, 44, was executed in
September last year after he was tried on charges including activities involving prostitution, gun smuggling and deliberately
causing injury in Qingdao's largest gang-related case. After Nie was apprehended, two heads of the police bureaus in the
city's Shibei and Licang districts and scores of other police officers were also prosecuted for providing protection for Nie's
illegal gambling and drug businesses.
Shan Guowei, head of the police bureau in Shinan district, was tried earlier this month for allegedly taking bribes of 3.75
million yuan ($612,000) from 2004 to 2012 and for protecting Nie's illegal activities in the area.

Official illegally taps 120 million yuan of cash from tap water supply
English.news.cn 2014-11-12 23:27:24 Hebei Province
A former official in charge of water supply in Beidaihe District, a sea resort close to Beijing, was suspected of bribe taking,
corruption and embezzlement after 120 million yuan of cash and 37 kilograms of gold were found in his residence.
Ma Chaoqun, former general manager of a water supply company of Beidaihe in Qinhuangdao City, was also found to have
68 real estate certificates in his home, according to the latest briefing by the discipline inspection body of Hebei Province
neighboring Beijing. The provincial discipline watchdog has announced in August that Ma was under investigation without
giving details. The cash found in Ma's home could weigh as heavy as 1.38 tonnes, supposing they were all 100-yuan notes.
The Chinese currency with the biggest face value is the 100-yuan note. The 37 kg of gold, or 1,189.6 ounce, is equal to at
least 1.38 million U.S. dollars based on Wednesday's price. The gold price has dived dramatically since last year. The 68
housing units were scattered in places including Beijing and Qinhuangdao. Their value in total is yet to be known. An
inspection team was sent to Hebei Province at the end of July by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of
the Communist Party of China (CPC). All 13 inspection teams of the CPC top discipline watchdog were tipped off about
suspected violations during their latest round of checks, according to the CCDI website.
China started a new round of official conduct inspections in July and 13 teams were sent by the CCDI to oversee officials in
the provincial regions of Guangxi, Shanghai, Qinghai, Tibet, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang, Sichuan and Jiangsu.
Officials with the General Administration of Sport, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and state-owned automaker China FAW
Group Corporation were also probed.

100 tons of tofu sticks containing cancer chemical on sale to public
2014-11-10 10:52:08 East China‟s Shandong Province
ALMOST 100 tons of illegally made dried tofu sticks containing a cancer-causing chemical have reached the market, police in
east China‟s Shandong Province said yesterday.
The warning was issued after officers raided an underground workshop there and seized more than 10 tons of the toxic
products. Dried tofu sticks — fuzhu in Chinese — are very popular in hotpot and cold dishes in China. But police of Zhangdian
District in Zibo City found unscrupulous producers were illegally adding rongalite, an industrial bleaching agent, to make the
fuzhu chewier and brighter, reported the Qilu Evening News. Rongalite is banned in food production as the formaldehyde it
releases in the process can cause headaches, fatigue, vomiting and cancer. Just 10 grams of pure rongalite can kill a healthy
adult, the paper reported. It did not report the quantity found in the tainted fuzhu. Zhangdian police had received a tip-off that
a local grain and oil shop was selling toxic fuzhu. Police bought samples from the shop and tests showed that they did indeed
contain rongalite. Last week, police and investigators from the local food and drug watchdog jointly busted the factory, the
paper reported. "Workers were busy making fuzhu with utensils that were covered in dirt," said police official Zhang Qinchao.
"The factory floor was filthy and there was a choking odor in the premises," added the official. Stacked against an outside
wall, the team found bags filled with powder that was identified as rongalite. Police seized nearly 10 tons of toxic fuzhu and
190 kilograms of rongalite, the paper reported. According to an initial police investigation, the factory was opened by three

only recruited fellow villagers, it is claimed. Since July, they had produced more than 100 tons. The products were mainly sold
to Shandong, Henan and Jiangxi provinces, the paper reported. In Zibo, they sold to a grain and oil shop owner surnamed Li,

Hong Kong court orders pyschiatric reports on UK banker charged of murder
2014-11-10 11:32:51 Hong Kong
A British banker charged with the grisly murders of two women had his case adjourned by a Hong Kong court on Monday for
two weeks of psychiatric reports.
Rurik Jutting, a 29-year-old securities trader who until recently worked at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, is accused of killing
two young Indonesian women whose mutilated bodies were found at his upmarket apartment in the southern Chinese city.
The case was "adjourned for two psychiatric reports on the defendant's fitness to plead" said principal magistrate Bina
Chainrai. Jutting, who was in court on Monday, will be remanded in custody and will next appear on Nov 24, Chainrai said.
Bearded and wearing black-rimmed glasses, Jutting remained impassive during the brief hearing at Hong Kong's Eastern
Magistrate's court - his second appearance after being charged with the murders a week ago. He spoke only once to say: "I
do" when the magistrate asked him whether he understood the arrangements. The bodies of Seneng Mujiasih and Sumarti
Ningsih, both Indonesian and in their 20s, were discovered after Jutting called police to his flat in the city's Wanchai
neighbourhood in the early hours of Nov 1. Seneng was found naked in the living room, with knife wounds to her neck and
buttocks. Sumarti's decaying body was found hours later by police, stuffed into a suitcase on the apartment's balcony.
According to court documents, she was killed days earlier, on Oct 27.
Police are investigating whether the women were sex workers. Wanchai is known for its late-night drinking holes popular with
expatriate revellers, and is home to a thriving red light district.

China nabs another six economic crime suspects
Updated: 2014-11-09 15:03 Philippines
China has seized another six economic crime suspects in the Philippines, authorities said Sunday, amid a sweeping
campaign aimed at blocking "the last route of retreat" for corrupt officials.
Police in east China's Zhejiang Province captured two suspects in two separate Philippine cities in October, while another
four were urged to give themselves up, according to Zhejiang provincial public security department. Of the six fugitives, four
have been taken back to China, the department said. China has snagged 180 economic crime suspects abroad since Fox
Hunt 2014, a special operation in July against suspects hiding overseas.
The number has surpassed that of last year, the Ministry of Public Security said in late October. Of those caught, 44 are
suspected of being involved in economic cases worth over 10 million yuan each, the ministry said.

Guangxi, according to Nanning Customs. The rice was bought in Vietnam, the customs said. Five core members have been
detained for criminal prosecution as Nanning Customs continue digging for evidence against the gang. The anti-smuggling
division of Nanning Customs was tipped off about the gang in August and started to investigate its activities with the help of

Fifty-four of them have been put under detention, said Lei Yuzhi, deputy head of the Public Security Bureau of Taiyuan,
capital of coal-rich Shanxi Province. The campaign targets mafia-style and evil forces which have disturbed rural grass-roots
elections, land requisitions and existed for long in mining, construction, logistics and tourism sectors. "Mafia-style criminal
gangs caused an extremely vile impact in society," said Lei at a news briefing on Friday. He vowed to continue to clamp down
on these evil forces.
Wang Rulin, secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, urged an intense crackdown on

Fishermen win compensation
2014/11/13 1:34:06 Shanghai
THREE local fishermen won a compensation of 300,000 yuan (US$48,900) from three companies after the sewage
discharged by the companies polluted the rivers where they were fishing, the Pudong New Area People‟s Court announced
The two sides reached an agreement during mediation ordered by the court. The three companies agreed to pay the plaintiffs
100,000 yuan each. According to the court, some 100,000 kilograms of fish died in April, which was blamed on the companies.
Local fishermen in Laogang Town filed complaints to the town government. One of the companies offers tank container
cleaning service while another transports chemicals. On April 29, the environmental authority in Pudong measured the level
of pollution in waters near the two companies and found it to be excessive pollution discharge. Although the government later
took measures to clean the pollution and some penalty were issued to the two companies, the compensation deal for the
three fishermen, who suffered the most losses, could not be settled. After the three people brought a 570,000 yuan
compensation lawsuit to the court, the judges went to the spot many times to do their own investigation. They found more
clues that linked the two companies for the discharge.
They also discovered another company in fault for pollution and listed it as the third defendant. The court also consulted a
fishing expert in Pudong before agreeing on the compensation amount for the fishermen.

4-year-old dies in manhole plunge
Shanghaidailynet November 11, 2014, Tuesday Songjiang District, Shanghai
CONSTRUCTION workers have been accused of leaving the cover partly off a manhole into which a 4-year-old boy fell and
died. Yesterday, the manhole inside a road widening construction site at Husong Road in Songjiang District was covered and
the area fenced off.
Song Fu‟an fell into the hole at around 7pm on Sunday night as he played outside the restaurant where his parents work. The
little boy‟s body was found five hours later in a sewage pipe by rescuers. His father, 37-year-old Song Yan, had leapt into the
10-meter-deep manhole that was filled with 8 meters of water desperately searching for his son, but only found his shoe.
"Seeing that the manhole wasn‟t fully covered, I knew that he must have fal en into it," Song told Shanghai Daily yesterday.
Song said workers had uncovered the manhole on Sunday to pump water from another manhole into it. But they didn‟t cover it
completely after leaving about 5:30pm, he claimed. Song and his wife Zhang Chanying, who are from central China‟s Hunan
Province, were busy delivering takeaway orders while their son played with another boy. When Song returned, the other boy
told him that his son was missing. While Song attempted to find his son, the emergency services were called and firefighters
were on the scene within minutes. As the shaft was connected to the sewer network, rescuers feared that the boy had been
carried into the sewage pipe system. After local water bureau staff pumped water from the hole and connecting pipes, the
boy‟s body was finally discovered around midnight in a pipe hundreds of meters away. Fu‟an‟s parents and nearby residents
said the construction site had not been fenced off and no warning signs put up. Following the tragedy, workers yesterday
fenced off the site, covered the hole completely and erected warning signs, said Fu‟an‟s parents. Shanghai Daily reporters
yesterday saw the names of the Shanghai Electric Power Co and the Shanghai Huasheng Electric Power Engineering Co on
the barriers. When contacted, the Shanghai Electric Power Co said that it bore no responsibility for the accident. However,
Fu‟an‟s parents claims that the company has offered to meet them on Friday to discuss the accident. This is not the first fatal
manhole accident involving children in recent years.
A 3-year-old boy died in February last year after falling into a manhole in Pudong New Area. Also in Pudong, an 11-year-old
boy died after falling into a manhole covered only by a plywood sheet in July last year. Police are still investigating Sunday‟s

Opportunities brewing for foreigners in city
Shanghaidailynet November 10, 2014, Monday Shanghai
SHANGHAI has always prided itself as being a city of entrepreneurship and commercial opportunities. As the economy is
deregulated, it‟s not only the Chinese who are taking advantage of the chance to start up businesses.
In 2010, according to the national census that year, there were 143,156 foreigners living in Shanghai. That figure continues to
grow. Although most expatriates work for multinational companies here, some are beginning to look outside that box. One of
them is 62-year-old . Henry came to Shanghai 20 years ago to teach English. At that time, it was difficult if not impossible for a
foreigner to start his own company in China. But times have changed, allowing Henry to think about starting his own business
here. He chose coffee bean roasting for his enterprise, inspired by his grandfather‟s love of coffee and by the relative rarity of
that business in the city. Unfamiliar with Chinese commercial laws, Henry found the initial going tough. But when Chinese
acquaintances agreed to help him through registration and legal procedures, and friends with business experience agreed to
advise him on the ABCs of running a company, the road ahead smoothed. "It‟s smal , so it wasn‟t al that complicated," Henry
told Shanghai Daily. "In fact, it took only several months to set up the business with 250,000 yuan (US$41,000) of startup
capital." The company, named Jonas Emil Coffee Roasters after the grandfather, buys raw coffee beans from importers,
roasts them and then sells the beans to households and offices in the city. Henry and his Chinese partner Feng Zhenghai
took a training course in San Francisco to become "senior roasters." Startups always face unforeseen chal enges and Jonas
Emil Coffee Roasters was no exception. Suppliers of premium-quality Arabica coffee beans were difficult to find. Henry and
Feng had to do a lot of networking in the coffee industry to make the right contacts. At first, the business roasted only about
10 kilograms of beans a week, mostly for expatriate families. As Henry and Feng began promoting the business at trade fairs,
word spread and customers increased. Employees were hired to visit offices and explain the service. Today the business
roasts up to 50 kilos of beans a week. Henry gave up teaching last year to devote himself full time to the business, which has
also hired an additional roaster. "About 90 percent of our individual clients are expats, but more and more local people are
drinking coffee, especial y in offices," he said. They lease an 80-square-meter workshop in the Pudong New Area and a
20-quare-meter office in Baoshan. The sites are away from downtown, but cost just 6,000 yuan a month to rent. The business
has also taken on a new partner who has shop space in Pudong. Henry and Feng will provide beans and coffee-making
technologies free, and share the profits once the coffee shop opens next month. Foreigners who are interested in starting up
businesses in Shanghai can turn to agencies to help them through the application paperwork. That‟s what 42-year-old Jason
Inch, another American, did when he started a human resources consultancy in the city in 2010. Inch is a business consultant,
writer, and speaker who came to the city in 2004. He is the author of 2012 book "China‟s Economic Supertrends" and the
2008 book "Supertrends of Future China." "I had been working as a teacher in joint-venture business school programs," he
said. "And I saw an opportunity in human resources consulting. So I formed ICT — InChina Corporate Training." He said it
was relatively easy, taking only about two months. "The government has requirements in terms of minimum capital and
industry focus, but I didn‟t think the policies were overly restrictive," he said. Last year, he set up a second company called
LOHAUS, promoting a lifestyle of health and urban sustainability. "My second company was much easier to start," he said. "I
didn‟t need an agent that time because the registration process has become so streamlined."
He said Shanghai is ideally placed to foster entrepreneurship, with the education skills of the Chinese and the number of
foreigners settled here. "Shanghai has always been a great entrepreneurial city," Inch said. "It‟s in the blood. Foreigners
should find it easier to start a business here."

Auctioneers hammered by new rule
2014-11-08 11:20 Shanghai
Fourteen auction houses in Shanghai have been told to temporarily close their doors for failing to meet industry regulations,
the State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China said Friday.
The closures were ordered as the companies are not in possession of three key business qualifications, it said. All auction
houses in China are required to employ experts who are trained — to the administration's standards — in ceramics, jade and
stone, and metal objects. To achieve certification, people are required to attend training courses in Beijing. The courses cost
up to 10,000 yuan (US$1,630) apiece and the pass rate in the final examinations is just 20 percent. Lin Yiping, general
manager of Shanghai Auction Co, which was among those ordered to close, said he was shocked by the announcement.
"When the new regulation (regarding the certificates) was issued in 2012 we were told it didn't apply to existing businesses,"
"We've arranged for some of our staff to attend the training courses," he said. A total of 63 auction houses across the country
were told to close, the administration said.

Lu Xun's relatives lose copyright suit
Shanghai Daily November 7, 2014, Friday Huangpu District, Shanghai
FOUR grandchildren of Lu Xun, one of the best-known Chinese writers of the 20th century, yesterday lost their lawsuit against
a publishing firm and the author of a book about their late relative.
The plaintiffs claimed "Biography of Lu Xun‟s Portraits" by Huang Qiaosheng, deputy director of Beijing Lu Xun Museum, and
published by Guizhou People‟s Press, used 114 photos of their grandfather without permission. They demanded a public
apology and 70,000 yuan (US$11,450) compensation.
The Huangpu District People‟s Court, however, ruled against the plaintiffs saying the photographs used in the book were now
in the public domain, and therefore neither the author nor the publishing house had infringed their copyright.

Sentences to anti-Chinese rioters criticized as 'lenient'
Updated: 2014-11-13 18:03 Vietnam
Sentences passed by a Vietnamese court on those found guilty of participating in anti-Chinese riots in May, which resulted in
the deaths of three workers, were criticized as "too lenient" by head from a major Chinese organization in Vietnam.
The People's Court in central Ha Tinh province found 14 men guilty on Wednesday of "causing public disorder" and "resisting
on-duty officials" when they took part in the deadly riot in a steel plant owned by a Taiwan company. The court handed down
prison sentences to 11 of the rioters ranging from 15 to 39 months. Three others were given suspended sentences of 15 to 18
months, Xinhua reported. Gu Chaoqing, head of the Business Association of China in Vietnam, said on Thursday the
sentences were "too lenient", and urged Vietnamese authorities to conduct more investigations. "This trial failed to find out
who the perpetrators were that killed the workers. It is difficult for families of the dead and the Chinese people to accept," Gu
said in Hanoi. Gu called for the Vietnamese to look further into the case and find out the identity of those who caused the
deaths. Information from Vietnam on the trials has been sporadic. The protest on May 14 in Vung Ang Economic Zone was
one of a series of anti-Chinese riots following operations by a Chinese oil rig in waters near China's Zhongjian Island, part of
the South China Sea also claimed by Hanoi. About 4,000 Chinese workers left Vietnam after thousands of rioters attacked
Chinese workers and Chinese-owned businesses, leaving at least three Chinese nationals dead and many injured. Business
and factories, including those established by South Korea and Singapore, were also targeted.
Vietnam has conducted several trials over the riots and offered limited compensation to affected companies. But the protests
and the South China Sea issue have cast a shadow over the investment climate there. China is Vietnam's largest trade
partner in 2013 with total turnover reaching $50.21 billion, up 22 percent year-on-year, according to official statistics from

Chinese woman wins sexual-discrimination case
English.news.cn 2014-11-13 20:15:33 Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province
A Chinese woman won her sexual discrimination case after a east China court ruled in her favor on Wednesday. Xihu District
People's Court in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, said a cooking school had violated the woman's right to equal
employment and should pay her 2,000 yuan (about 323 U.S. dollars) in compensation.
Guo Jing, a female college graduate, took Dongfang Cooking Training School in Hangzhou to court after it denied her job
application on the basis that "the school only wants male employees" in late June. Guo said she met all the school's
requirements for the clerical post. "We cannot keep silent any more," she said. This is the second such case that has created
a storm in the country. Two years ago, a woman named Cao Ju sued a company individually for sexual discrimination and
won. Cao was compensated 30,000 yuan in what has been called "China's first employment gender discrimination case", A
report from the All-China Women's Federation in 2011 showed that 56.7 percent of interviewed female college graduates said
they had fewer opportunities than their male counterparts.
Ninety-one percent of interviewees felt they had been victims of sexual discrimination from employers. "Sexual discrimination
is very common in the job market," Guo said, "I want to tell women to protect our rights through established legal weapons."

Alibaba founder Jack Ma is now the richest man on the Chinese mainland. But factors restricting the growth of e-commerce
have prompted many to speculate how long Ma will retain such a status, says an article in Beijing News.
Jack Ma hit the headlines once again thanks to Alibaba's initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. The IPO,
according to Hurun Rich List 2014, helped Ma replace property tycoon Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, as the
richest man on the mainland. Alibaba leads China's Internet business, together with Baidu and Tencent, because of its
business strategies that exploit the latest Internet trends such as the C2C (consumer-to-consumer) model. But Alibaba is only
a follower, not the pioneer, of C2C in China. Therefore, it remains to be seen how long Taobao, the largest C2C online
shopping website started by Alibaba, and Alipay, the third-party online payment method, can maintain their edge in this fast
changing Internet era. True, more people will turn to online shopping. But many commodities and services still cannot be
traded on the Internet, which could become a big factor restricting Taobao's and Alibaba's further growth. And given that
Taobao and Alibaba neither have a management model nor expertise that cannot be duplicated, the possibility of some of
their competitors catching up cannot be ruled out. Besides, Taobao, which to a certain extent squeezed out traditional real
retail stores, has benefited from the government policies adopted to support e-commerce. But then the government could
adopt other policies and measures to impose higher tax on online stores to protect real retailers. These, if true, will squeeze
the space for Alibaba's growth.
The rise of Taobao and Alibaba can be attributed to the extensive management model of e-commerce in the country, but this
is sure to change in the future as part of the efforts to better regulate the sector.

One-night stands, sexual abuse content banned on video sites
2014-11-13 10:21:40 China
A circular by China's top media and television watchdog requiring content providers to cut content related to one-night stands,
sexual abuse and extramarital affairs from video streaming websites has sparked heated discussion.
According to a report by entertainment news website ent.qq.com, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film
and Television (SAPPRFT) circular stipulated that programs depicting extramarital affairs, polyamorous relationship,
one-night stands, sexual abuse, or containing pornographic content should be cut or deleted. It also said that video depicting
rape, fornication, necrophilia, prostitution or masturbation also should be cut. Video websites are required to remove
headlines with text or pictures referring to sex and nudity. Plots depicting violent murder, suicides, kidnapping, drug abuse,
gambling or supernatural occurrences should be cut. SAPPRFT said that websites should closely examine videos with tags
like "hot dancing," "beauties" and "originals." A great deal of sexually suggestive content is likely to be taken down, reported
news portal ent.163.com. "Media regulators used to have loose regulations on [these] programs, so that the public is often
exposed to contents related to sex, violence and murder," Tan Tian, a professor at Jinan University, told the Global Times on
Wednesday. He added that SAPPRFT should issue a regulation removing porn and other vulgar content from those websites.
However, many Web users claimed that after implementing this regulation, Chinese audience will have no films or dramas to
watch. Tan warned authorities against being overly extreme, saying it might hinder the creation of more excellent works. He
suggested that the regulator provide a detailed explanation on how the new circular should be implemented. SARFT, the
predecessor to SAPPRFT, issued a similar notice in 2009. Zhuang Xihai, a former TV host and a producer who is now a
professor at the Southwest University of Broadcasting in Chongqing, told the Global Times that the fact that SAPPRFT
issuing of a similar notice showed that the first notice was not implemented effectively. Zhuang added that he does not think it
would prove a deathblow for streaming websites, instead calling it a new opportunity for both websites and creators to
produce more positive works.
The moves come after a new governmental campaign against pornography and vulgar content entitled "Cleaning the Web
2014" by State Internet Information Office. In April, China has shut down 110 websites as part of a national crackdown on
online pornography, according to the office.

Rise in N. Korean workers
2014-11-13 1:03:01 China
The number of North Korean workers in China is increasing, the Korea Joongang Daily reported.
There were 93,000 North Korean workers in China in 2013, with an annual increase of around 20 percent over the past four
years, according to data released by the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) on Tuesday. There were only 54,000
North Korean workers in China in 2010. According to the newspaper, a North Korean worker makes on average 1,600 yuan
($261) per month, much lower than the monthly salary earned by a local worker.
Choi Yong-min, the head of KITA's Beijing branch, said that companies in China are likely to increase their hiring of North
Koreans in the mid and long term due to lower labor costs.

China issues first ten-year visas to U.S. citizens
2014-11-13 10:04:58 China
China issued the first-ever group of visas with ten-year validity to U.S. citizens here on
Wednesday, implementing a new agreement that is expected to boost exchange
between the two countries.
At the visa office of Chinese Embassy in the U.S., 23-year-old researcher Edmund
Downie became the first American to receive the ten-year visa with multiple entries. In
what will be his fifth trip to China, he planned to travel to southern Chinese city
Kunming and stay there for about a week. "I am glad that I've been granted the honor
of being the first American to receive the ten-year visa," Downie told Xinhua. "I am excited to be able to keep going to China
for the next ten years and not have to worry about coming back to the visa office." Starting Wednesday, under a new
agreement announced during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Beijing, China and the U.S. will grant each
other's citizens business or tourist visas with maximum validity of ten years. The validity of student visas will also be extended
to up to five years. "It eases the process of visa acquisition and makes it more affordable," Downie said of the new
arrangement, adding that it is a positive step for Americans to learn more about China. Ruan Ping, Consul General at the
Chinese Embassy in the U.S., believed that the new visa policy will enhance mutual understanding between China and the
United States. "It will greatly promote the people-to-people exchange between China and the U.S. and boost our economic
and academic ties," Ruan said. Earlier Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry handed out the first ten-year visas to a
group of Chinese citizens in a ceremony at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
"You are literally helping to write the next great chapter of the history between the United States and China," Kerry told the
Chinese citizens with the new visas and people at the ceremony, according to the U.S. State Department. "This will pay huge
dividends for American and Chinese citizens and it will strengthen both of our economies," he added.

Girl beaten, stripped naked by classmates in C China
2014-11-13 09:54:24 Central China‟s Hunan Province
POLICE in central China‟s Hunan Province have launched a probe into reports that 15 girl students severely beat up a
classmate and took nude pictures of her.
Sanxiang City Express reported that the 16-year-old victim, nicknamed Xiaomeng, joined the Hunan Industry Trade School, a
technical secondary school in the provincial capital Changsha, in September. On November 6, the girl had an argument with
the deputy class monitor, nicknamed Xiaoao, over cleaning the classroom. Xiaomeng told the paper that in the evening,
Xiaoao asked 14 other girls to beat her up in the dorm. "Some of them threatened me with scissors. All of them slapped me
and then hit my head against the wall. They beat me up and kicked me. I was tortured until 1am the next day," she said,
adding that five of her six roommates turned a blind eye to the brutality while one of them joined the beating. Xiaomeng did
not say anything to her parents or to the school administrators the next day but it was not good enough to lessen Xiaoao‟s
anger, the paper reported. Around noon on November 7, the 15 girls broke into her dorm and beat her up again. They then
stripped her naked and took nude pictures of her in the hope she would not complain to either her parents or her teachers,
Xiaomeng said. Bruised and in severe pain, Xiaomeng called her dorm teacher and her parents but the teacher did not take
the matter seriously after a CT scan report suggested she was fine, the paper said. Fearing that she would be beaten up
again, Xiaomeng did not go back to the school or to her dorm but stayed in a hotel. Her parents rushed from Shaoyang in
Hunan to Changsha on November 10. She was then diagnosed with ruptured eardrums and renal contusion. The newspaper
reported finding bruises on Xiaomeng‟s face, back and legs. She also hobbled in pain. The school said police were
The girls admitted beating her up and taking pictures, which have since been deleted. Xiaomeng is not keen on going back to
the school and her parents are looking to move her in another school, the paper said.

Chinese legislature drops adding accepting gift money as crime
Updated: 2014-11-12 21:12 China
China's top legislator ruled out the possibility of adding a widely discussed prohibition on government officials accepting "gift
money" into the country's Criminal Law.
The National People's Congress said on its website that an additional crime of accepting "gift money" provoked controversy
and needs further discussion on whether it should be included into the law. It is a tradition for the Chinese to offer friends gifts
and envelopes filled with cash on special occasions. The cash, called "gift money", providing benevolent financial assistance,
has been used as means for bribery in recent years. Under the current law, no criminal charges can be applied to accepting
gifts or money unless the behavior is proved to be linked with abusing power. Rotten officials have sought to defend
themselves from bribery charges by claiming that the bribes they are accused of accepting are gifts from friends. The difficulty
in defining "gift money" in a corruption case gives officials the opportunity to take bribes under the excuse of accepting "gifts"
from friends. Anti-graft agencies are often required to collect convincing evidence to prove the link between the "gift" and the
abuse of power. To reinforce China's ongoing anti-graft campaign, the legislative authority published draft amendments to the
law for public opinion, due by Dec 3, a number of which increase penalties in corruption cases and redefine the sentencing
criteria. The draft amendments proposed to impose monetary fines against all individuals that are convicted of engaging in
corruption to replace the punishment only on legal entities. The draft added a new crime of offering bribes to close relatives or
individuals with close relationships to government officials. Jiang Ming'an, a law professor at Peking University, said current
criminal law sentencing guidelines are specifically defined based on the value of the bribes but the items in the proposed
revision give little scope for considering other circumstances such as the causes and consequences of the crime. Those who
embezzle or take bribes over 100,000 yuan ($12,660) will be sentenced to prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life. If
the case is "particularly serious," the criminals can be sentenced to death, according to the current law.
Zhao Bingzhi, a law professor at Beijing Normal University, said the amendments enable the law to curb corruption in a more
comprehensive way and the specific sentencing standards based on the amount of the bribes are likely to be written into
judicial interpretations issued by the supreme court.

21 missing miners confirmed dead after E. China mine accident
English.news.cn 2014-11-12 19:53:38 East China's Anhui Province
The search for 21 miners trapped in a collapsed mine in east China's Anhui Province was concluded and all the missing were
confirmed dead, authorities said.
An explosion ripped through the Dongfang coal mine in Huainan City on Aug. 19 and 39 workers were caught in mine shafts
hundreds of meters underground. Twelve managed to escape. By Aug. 29, six bodies had been found and 21 remained
missing. According to officials with the Huainan city government on Tuesday, the search was hampered by collapsed mine
shafts and gas pockets. Experts said more explosions were possible if the search continued while they also concluded that
the trapped miners were dead due to the conditions underground. The families of the 21 missing miners received 910,000
yuan (14,841 U. S. dollars) compensation for each miner. The provincial coal mine safety inspection bureau revoked the
privately-owned Dongfang coal mine's production permit in August. The mine has an annual production capacity of 90,000
tonnes. At the time of the incident the mine was operating illegally.
Although officially licensed, the city government had issued production suspension orders for all coal mines beginning June
30 as part of flood prevention efforts.

13 dengue fever fatalities in Taiwan
November 12, 2014 Taiwan
A total of 10,600 Taiwan residents this year have contracted dengue fever as of Monday, with 13 reported deaths, the island's
disease control authorities said Tuesday.
About 97 percent of all cases were in Kaohsiung City in southern Taiwan, the worst hit area with 10,100 people infected by
the disease as of Monday, the authorities said in a statement. Dengue is a mosquito-borne, potentially fatal disease that
affects up to 100 million people in tropical and subtropical regions every year, causing fever and muscle pain. This year
Taiwan has experienced its severest outbreak of the disease in the past decade, exceeding previous years, when annual
cases would not exceed 2,000, spokesman of the disease control authority Chou Jih-haw said. Warm weather since April this
year and an increase of rain fall have been blamed for the outbreak in Kaohsiung, as both conditions are conducive to the
breeding of the mosquitos that carry dengue, Chou said. A deadly gas blast that claimed dozens of lives in Kaohsiung in late
July could have played a part in the spreading of the disease, he added.
The local government was urged to step up disease prevention and control efforts through programs to clear waste disposal
sites and abandoned buildings.

McDonald's China: no GM potatoes
2014-11-11 1:03:01 China
McDonald's China has denied that it has imported or used genetically engineered potatoes after the US Department of
Agriculture approved a genetically modified (GM) potato developed by a McDonald's supplier.
"McDonald's China does not use genetically modified potatoes. The potatoes that McDonald's China uses are in line with the
national laws and regulations," the public relations department of McDonald's China told the Global Times Monday. The US
Department of Agriculture approved the first genetically modified potato for commercial planting on November 7. The potato
was developed by the J.R. Simplot Company and is engineered to resist bruising and contain fewer carcinogens. The
Idaho-based company is one of the biggest French fries suppliers in the world. Its products are distributed to many countries
including China, Australia and Canada. However, according to McDonald's China's website, J.R. Simplot Company provides
frozen hash browns to the company's restaurants in China, while the potatoes for its French fries are provided by another
supplier. Luo Yunbo, a GM food expert with China Agricultural University, told the Global Times that customers should not be
worried about consuming genetically engineered food because they have been proven not to harm human health and are
widely used in Western countries. "Many organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration of the US and the
European Food Safety Authority have stated that GM foods are safer to consume than normal food," he said. In July, China's
agricultural ministry vowed zero tolerance and harsh punishments for illegal sales and growing of GM crops. Chen Xiaohua, a
deputy minister for agriculture, said that the Ministry of Agriculture will continue to scrutinize the commercial production of GM
food and has set no timetable for the commercial production of GM food, the Xinhua News Agency reported. McDonald's use
of GM food also drew attention in April, when it admitted to using chickens raised on genetically modified feed, but said that it
would not affect the food's quality and safety.
There are more than 2,000 McDonald's restaurants on the Chinese mainland. In August, McDonald's China were involved in
a food scandal that saw its supplier Shanghai Husi, a subsidiary of a US-based OSI Group, use expired meat and doctored
food production dates.

HK police ready to aid enforce injunction: official

injunction in protest areas, abide by the High Court instructions.
Lam said the law enforcement personnel will not rule out possible arrests when necessary. The official said the High Court
had decided to continue the injunction orders with regard to occupied areas in commercial districts of Admiralty and Mong
Kok on Monday. She said an injunction is an order made by the court which should be fully respected and strictly followed by
all. "The court has already authorized the bailiff to request police assistance where necessary and has authorized the police
to arrest and remove anyone obstructing or interfering with any bailiff in enforcing the terms of the injunction orders," said Lam.
"With a view to protect the due administration of justice and upholding the rule of law, the police will give full assistance,
including making arrest where necessary to enforce the injunction orders in such ways as the court instructs," said the official.
"I strongly urge protesters who are still staying in the occupied areas, whether the areas are covered by the injunctions or not,
they should voluntarily and peacefully leave the areas as soon as possible so that the roads as well as the building entrances
could be reopened," Lam said. She said all agree that the rule of law is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's success, the
foundation of its democracy and an important core value of Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government is committed to safeguarding the rule of law, and
members of public have always respected court decisions, said the official.

Apple malware spread halted by Chinese site
2014-11-7 23:28:01 China
The Chinese website believed to be the source of the latest malware attack that has impacted hundreds of thousands of
iPhone and iPad users has suspended its app-sharing function, the website announced on Friday.
US security company Palo Alto Networks revealed on Wednesday that a malware called WireLurker that originated from
Maiyadi App Store may have been spying on hundreds of thousands of iPhone users in China. Maiyadi.com stated that they
had closed the app service and would report any problems to authorities. The malware infects a desktop computer first, then
installs virus in a iOS device connected to the desktop by USB, and afterward steals information from the iPhone or iPad, Palo
Alto Networks said. Apple China did not respond to the Global Times' phone and e-mail inquiries on Friday. In a Thursday
statement to US media, Apple said "We are aware of malicious software available from a download site aimed at users in
China, and we've blocked the identified apps to prevent them from launching."
Palo Alto Networks said WireLurker heralds a "new era" in malware attacking Apple's desktop and mobile platforms, since it
was the biggest such attack they'd ever seen, and the first malware to install third-party applications on non-jailbroken iOS

Driver of overturned bus lost control after reaching for phone
2014/11/7 1:34:07 Shanghai
THE driver of the bus that overturned near Donghai Bridge on Monday lost control of his vehicle after leaning forward to pick
up his cellphone, police said yesterday.
The 41-year-old, surnamed Zhao, was also speeding at the time of the incident, police said, without saying how fast he was
going or how they had reached their conclusions. Zhao said in an interview with Shanghai Television on Tuesday that he lost
control of the vehicle — which was en route to Shengsi County in neighboring Zhejiang Province — after running over
something on the road. The Shanghai Bashi Xinlianyi Tourism and Transport Co, which owns the bus, said earlier that the
driver was not suffering from fatigue and that the vehicle could not have been speeding as it was fitted with a device that
prevented it from going above 100 kilometers per hour. Six people were killed and 43 others, including Zhao, were injured in
the incident. Zhao suffered fractures to his lower back after being thrown through the front windshield. Yesterday he was
transferred from Shanghai Huashan Hospital to an unnamed police hospital where he will be treated while under custody. The
injured passengers were treated at four local hospitals. Several have since returned home, though 12 remain in serious
condition and one is reported to have been paralyzed. According to the police report, soon after Zhao leaned forward to pick
up his phone, the vehicle drifted out of its lane and ran into a safety barrier on the right side of the road.
No seat belts
Zhao then over-corrected and sent the bus careering across the highway and into the left-side barrier. The vehicle then
crashed into a lamppost and flipped on to its side, they said. The Shanghai Transport Commission said the bus company,
which is based in Jinshan District, will be punished for the actions of its driver, though it did not elaborate. Officials said Zhao
was catapulted through the windscreen as he was not wearing a seat belt. He is alleged to have said that he found it
uncomfortable. According to one of the injured passengers, very few people on the bus were buckled into their seats. The
transport commission said it plans to work with local law enforcement teams to encourage bus drivers and passengers to
wear seat belts on all journeys. The Donghai Bridge tragedy is not the first to be blamed on a driver being distracted by his
cellphone. On September 5, a man was killed after being hit by a bus in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. The driver, surnamed
Gao, was found to have been playing with his phone at the time of the accident. The vehicle‟s onboard surveil ance cameras
showed Gao looking at his phone 39 times in seven minutes, and on one occasion removing both hands from the steering
wheel. In November last year, a bus collided with a truck in Jingjiang, Jiangsu Province, as the two vehicles were traveling
along a bridge over a river.
A person in the truck was thrown from the vehicle and drowned in the water below. The death was blamed on the driver of the
bus, who was shown on the vehicle‟s security cameras playing with his phone just prior to the collision.
