British administration begins the next year, helping to grow trade in goods from tea to porcelain, while China's leadership deals with internal conflicts and increasing demands for foreign access to its enormous domestic market.— 1860: The colony grows after the Qing cede Kowloon, a mountainous region opposite Hong Kong Island, to Britain after the second Opium War. China accedes to the demands after the imperial court is driven from Beijing and its famed Summer Palace is sacked, looted and torched by foreign troops. — 1898: Britain leases the New Territories, a large area around Kowloon, from China for 99 years, or until 1997. The largely rural area provides a buffer against unrest within mainland China and greater economic viability for the colony as a whole. The lease also sets the clock ticking on Hong Kong's eventual return to Chinese rule. — 1941-45: Japan occupies Hong Kong until the end of World War II. British, Chinese and allied forces resisted for three weeks, but were forced to surrender against overwhelming odds. Along with anti-colonialism, rhetoric against Japanese wartime atrocities remains a central theme in the Communist Party's nationalistic appeal. — 1984: Britain agrees to return Hong Kong to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” framework that gives the city its own economic and political system for 50 years. The Sino-British Joint Agreement is registered with the United Nations, although Beijing now says it is null and void and rejects any foreign criticism as meddling in its internal affairs. — 1997: Hong Kong is handed over to Chinese rule in a ceremony attended by Prince Charles and Chinese President Jiang Zemin. Hours later, People's Liberation Army troops enter the city in a highly public display of China's repudiation of colonial rule.— 2003: In the largest protest since the handover, hundreds of thousands of citizens march against proposed national security legislation that would have criminalized “subversion” against the Chinese government. The bill was subsequently withdrawn in what was seen as a victory for civic organization and an indication of Beijing's continued — although waning — tolerance for dissent. — 2014: Protesters seeking direct elections for Hong Kong’s leader lay siege to government headquarters for 79 days but fail to win any concessions. The protests spawn a generation of young activists who will continue to push for greater freedoms against an increasingly intransigent Chinese leadership. — 2017: Chinese leader Xi Jinping visits Hong Kong on the 20th anniversary of its return to Chinese rule, during which he delivers a speech declaring Beijing will accept no opposition. Long-time civil servant and close Beijing ally Carrie Lam becomes Hong Kong’s chief executive with a mandate to enforce China's will, while maintaining the city's status as an international business hub. — 2019: Protests break out over proposed legislation that could have see Hong Kongers and foreign residents sent to mainland China for trials in a legal system beset with accusations of ill-treatment and forced confessions. While the bill is withdrawn, protests continue among mostly students and young people frustrated with a lack of representation and opportunities in one of the world's most economically divided cities. — 2020: Following a heavy crackdown on protesters, opposition figures and independent media, China's rubber-stamp parliament imposes a sweeping National Security Law that jails thousands of government critics, with others seeking asylum abroad or being intimidated into silence. Changes to the makeup of Hong Kong's Legislative Council ensure only “patriots loyal to Beijing will have a voice. — 2022: Former security chief John Lee is installed as Hong Kong's chief executive following what was widely seen as a sham election in which he was the only candidate. Lee is among a number of Hong Kong and mainland Chinese officials under U.S. and European visa bans for their roles in cracking down on human rights in the territory. Authorities require new textbooks asserting that Hong Kong was never a British colony, claiming China never recognized the treaties over its status. The move is seen as an attempt to erase the memory of past freedoms and assert the ideology of China's “great rejuvenation that is central to Xi's political agenda.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"22.2783","longitude":"114.1747","name":"Hong Kong,China","city":"Hong Kong"},"keywords":"Hong Kong,Chinese,China,Beijing,British,Britain,Hong Kong's,Hong Kong Island,HONG KONG,the first Opium War","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-01T06:54:13.908680+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"cPKKyJJOYXYH","slug":"english/china-voices-opposition-to-indias-reported-plans-to-hold-g20-meeting-in-jk","title":"China voices opposition to India's reported plans to hold G20 meeting in J\u0026K","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-30T11:12:05.841584+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656587524.812951, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Beijing, Jun 30 (PTI) China on Thursday voiced its opposition to India's reported plans to hold the next year's meeting of G-20 leaders in Jammu and Kashmir, echoing close ally Pakistan's objection, and underlined that relevant sides should avoid \\\"politicising\\\" the issue.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"We have noted relevant information,\\\" Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told a media briefing here on Thursday while replying to a question from the official media.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"China\\u2019s position on Kashmir is consistent and clear cut.

If the Nordic nations’ accession is approved by the 30 member nations, it will give NATO a new 800-mile (1,300 kilometer) border with Russia.Russian President Vladimir Putin warned he would respond in kind if the Nordic nations allowed NATO troops and military infrastructure onto their territory. He said Russia will have to “create the same threats for the territory from which threats against us are created.”China accused the alliance of “maliciously attacking and smearing” the country. Its mission to the European Union said NATO “claims that other countries pose challenges, but it is NATO that is creating problems around the world.”Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told the summit that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had brought “the biggest overhaul of our collective defense since the end of the Cold War.”The invasion shattered Europe’s peace, and in response NATO has poured troops and weapons into eastern Europe on a scale unseen in decades. Member nations have given Ukraine billions in military and civilian aid to strengthen its resistance.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who addressed the summit by video link, asked for more. He urged NATO to send modern artillery systems and other weapons and warned the leaders they either had to provide Kyiv with the help it needed or “face a delayed war between Russia and yourself.”“The question is, who’s next? Moldova? Or the Baltics? Or Poland? The answer is: all of them,” he said. At the summit, NATO leaders agreed to dramatically scale up military force along the alliance’s eastern flank, where countries from Romania to the Baltic states worry about Russia’s future plans.It announced plans to increase almost eightfold the size of the alliance’s rapid reaction force, from 40,000 to 300,000 troops, by next year. The troops will be based in their home nations but dedicated to specific countries in the east, where the alliance plans to build up stocks of equipment and ammunition.President Joe Biden, whose country provides the bulk of NATO’s firepower, announced a hefty boost in America’s military presence in Europe, including a permanent U.S. base in Poland, two more Navy destroyers based in Rota, Spain, and two more F35 squadrons to the U.K.The expansion will keep 100,000 troops in Europe for the foreseeable future, up from 80,000 before the war in Ukraine began.Biden said Putin had believed NATO members would splinter after he invaded Ukraine, but he got the opposite response.“Putin was looking for the Finland-ization of Europe,” Biden said. “You’re gonna get the NATO-ization of Europe. And that’s exactly what he didn’t want, but exactly what needs to be done to guarantee security for Europe.”Still, strains among NATO allies have also emerged as the cost of energy and other essential goods has skyrocketed, partly because of the war and tough Western sanctions on Russia. There also are tensions over how the war will end and what, if any, concessions Ukraine should make.Money remains a sensitive issue — just nine of NATO’s 30 members currently meet the organization’s target of spending 2% of gross domestic product on defense.At what Stoltenberg called a “transformative” summit, the leaders published NATO’s new Strategic Concept, its once-a-decade set of priorities and goals.The last such document, in 2010, called Russia a “strategic partner.” Now, NATO is accusing Russia of using “coercion, subversion, aggression and annexation” to extend its reach.The 2010 document made no mention of China, but the new one addressed Bejing’s growing economic and military reach.“China is not our adversary, but we must be clear-eyed about the serious challenges it represents,” Stoltenberg said on Wednesday.NATO said that China “strives to subvert the rules-based international order, including in the space, cyber and maritime domains” and warned of its close ties with Moscow.The alliance said, however, that it remained “open to constructive engagement” with Beijing.China shot back that NATO was a source of instability and vowed to defend its interests.“Since NATO positions China as a ‘systemic challenge,’ we have to pay close attention and respond in a coordinated way. When it comes to acts that undermine China’s interests, we will make firm and strong responses,” its statement said.NATO also stressed the need to address political instability in Africa’s Sahel region and the Middle East — aggravated by “climate change, fragile institutions, health emergencies and food insecurity” — that is driving large numbers of migrants toward Europe. Host Spain and other European countries pushed for this new focus.___Follow the AP’s coverage of the war at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"40.4165","longitude":"-3.7026","name":"Madrid,Spain","city":"Madrid"},"keywords":"Russia,NATO,Europe,China,Ukraine,Moscow,Beijing,Finland,Nordic,Poland","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-30T07:42:15.037266+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"REMtpn9l1jDl","slug":"english/asia-stocks-mixed-after-wall-st-down-china-manufacturing-up","title":"Asia stocks mixed after Wall St down, China manufacturing up","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/South_Korea_Financial_Markets_71115_VdVNipKQk.jpg","coverCaption":"A currency trader walks by the screen showing the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) at a foreign exchange dealing room in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday, June 30, 2022.

For the first decade or so, such measures looked overly dramatic – this bustling bastion of capitalism on China's southern coast appeared to keep its freedoms, and the economy was booming. In recent years, Beijing has been expanding its influence and control. Those moves appeared to be hastened by mass pro-democracy protests in 2014 and 2019. Now, schools must provide lessons on patriotism and national security, and some new textbooks deny Hong Kong was ever a British colony. Electoral reforms have ensured that no opposition lawmakers, only those deemed to be “patriots by Beijing, are in the city's legislature, muting once lively debates over how to run the city. China has installed John Lee, a career security official, as the successor to Chief Executive Carrie Lam. Freedom of the press has come under attack and pro-democracy newspapers openly critical of the government, such as Apple Daily, have been forced to close. Its publisher Jimmy Lai has been jailed. Hong Kong also has banned annual protests marking China's June 4, 1989, crackdown on the pro-democracy movement centered on Beijing's Tiananmen Square, with authorities citing pandemic precautions. The city's tourism and businesses are reeling from its adherence to stringent COVID-zero policies enforced on the mainland.Alex Siu, a building services engineer, was born in Hong Kong and only left in 2020 — his parents had ensured he’d have the option by getting him a British National Overseas passport years earlier.Siu moved to Manchester, England, with his girlfriend after getting fed up both with Hong Kong’s work environment and the political situation. He's homesick for the food, friends and family, but isn't planning to go back. “I believe there is no hope because the government holds absolute power,” Siu said of the deteriorating political freedoms in Hong Kong. “Us little citizens, we don’t have much power to oppose them or change the situation.” Kurt Tong, former U.S. consul general to Hong Kong and managing partner of consultancy The Asia Group, said the changes reflect growing dissatisfaction in Beijing with the freewheeling semi-autonomous region. The consternation deepened when some of the millions of Hong Kong residents who marched in peaceful pro-democracy protests in 2019 stormed the city's legislative complex and at times violently clashed with police. “The things that China found irritating about Hong Kong started to become more prominent, and the things that it found attractive about Hong Kong started to be less prominent, and friction built up over time,” he said. Beginning in 2020, the authorities launched a crackdown on political dissent, arresting dozens of activists and imprisoning them for unauthorized assembly, despite provisions guaranteeing freedom for such gatherings under Hong Kong's Basic Law, the city's constitution. John Burns, an honorary professor of politics and public administration at the University of Hong Kong, was skeptical that Beijing would ever allow Hong Kong full democracy or universal suffrage, goals enshrined in the Basic Law at the time of the 1997 handover.“Hong Kong was going to become part of a local government of an authoritarian country ruled by a Leninist party. How could it be a Western-style parliamentary democracy?” Burns said in an interview. The authorities cracked down and moved to stamp out dissent to help restore stability after the months long 2019 protests, he noted. “But this is a brittle stability based on the imposition of the law and the arrest of pan-democratic leaders and jailing them, chasing them out,” he said, and many in Hong Kong still support the pro-democracy movement even if they are silent for now.“We’re in a kind of hellish place. Hong Kong is not part of the system and therefore it can’t bargain that way, (but at the same time) we are not free. We are in this hybrid middle ground, Burns added. “The party has never had to rule a place like Hong Kong, so it's learning to as it goes.”Former Democratic Party chairwoman and ex-lawmaker Emily Lau says she is disappointed with the changes but not surprised. “When you deal with a communist regime, you shouldn’t be expecting anything. Nothing should surprise you,” Lau said.She's focused on Hong Kong's future. The city remains distinct from the mainland, she said. Her friends and colleagues may be imprisoned, but she can visit them and they can choose their own lawyers — rights usually denied political prisoners in China.“I know it’s very difficult. But I think we owe it to ourselves and to future generations to do the best we can to fight for our core values, which are human rights, democracy, rule of law and personal safety, and social justice,” she said.Chan Po-ying, 66, whose longtime partner and fellow pro-democracy activist Leung Kwok-hung — better known by his nickname “Long Hair,” is serving a nearly 2-year prison sentence and awaiting a hearing on national security related charges, says she is pressing on.“I have persevered for a long period of time, I believe that I should not give up so easily, especially during this difficult time,” Chan said “The government and the law have granted these rights to us (under the Basic Law).”In May, during an election for Hong Kong’s new chief executive, Chan and several others held a small protest to demand universal suffrage. On June 4 this year, the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, Chan together with two others, stood on a street in silent protest, dressed in black and wearing white face masks with black “x’s” taped across them.However, with security tight ahead of Friday's ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the handover, Chan put out a message to Hong Kong media saying she and her group would not stage a protest.After being summoned for a “chat by state security police, they decided “on that day, we cannot conduct any sort of protest activity, she said. ___AP writer Kelvin Chan in London and news assistant Karmen Li from Hong Kong contributed to this report.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"22.2783","longitude":"114.1747","name":"Hong Kong,China","city":"Hong Kong"},"keywords":"Hong Kong,British,China,Beijing,Hong Kong's,Chan,Tiananmen Square,HONG KONG,Chinese,Communist","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-29T04:42:22.066368+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"LTgz5TeBJLjz","slug":"english/chinas-baidu-races-waymo-gm-to-develop-self-driving-cars","title":"China's Baidu races Waymo, GM to develop self-driving cars","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/China_Self-Driving_Cars_46636_ElNDP_Ro-.jpg","coverCaption":"A technician monitors the self-driving taxi developed by tech giant Baidu Inc. on June 14, 2022, in Beijing.

The announcement of the Chinese assistance came after France signed an agreement with Pakistan to suspend its loan worth USD 107 million under the G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI). The agreement was signed by Ministry of Economic Affairs Secretary Mian Asad Hayaud Din and French Ambassador Nicolas Galey, the Economic Affairs Division of Pakistan said in a statement on Monday. China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners. China always supports Pakistan in growing its economy, improving livelihoods and upholding financial stability,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a media briefing here while replying to a question about China providing RMB 15 billion (USD 2.3 billion) to Pakistan to build its depleting foreign exchange reserves. Pakistan media quoted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as saying that Pakistan is hopeful of getting USD 2 billion from the IMF. China’s latest assistance is in addition to Beijing rolling over USD 4.5 billion debt due to be paid by Islamabad in March this year and USD 2.5 billion given in 2019 to boost the sagging foreign exchange reserves of Pakistan. Pakistan is the second country in the sub-continent after Sri Lanka to face a serious economic crisis notwithstanding massive Chinese investments and loans. China had skirted desperate pleas from Sri Lankan leaders before the country went bankrupt defaulting on all its foreign debt totalling USD 51 billion. The new Chinese assistance to Pakistan followed the visit of Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa this month during which the two countries agreed to step up defence and anti-terrorism cooperation. Last month Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto made his maiden visit to Beijing and held talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi. Cash-starved Pakistan has faced growing economic challenges, with high inflation, sliding forex reserves, a widening current account deficit and a depreciating currency. The Pakistani rupee broke all records early this month, dropping to an all-time low of 202.83 against the US dollar. Chinese banks have agreed to refinance Pakistan with USD 2.3 billion worth of funds in a massive relief for the cash-starved country to help it bolster its depleting foreign exchange reserves, Pakistan Finance Minister Miftah Ismail said early this month.

Addressing a media briefing here, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Beijing and Islamabad are in close communication and coordination to protect the safety of Chinese institutions and personnel in Pakistan. “I am not aware of the situation you mentioned,” he said when asked for his comment on a media report stating that the Ministry of State Security had asked Islamabad in June to allow a Chinese security company to operate in Pakistan to guard its citizens and assets, however, Pakistan's Interior Ministry had objected to the proposal, stating that its security forces are able to protect Chinese nationals and assets. Japanese media outlet Nikkei has reported that China wants its own security company to guard its citizens and assets in Pakistan following the recent attacks against its nationals in that country but Islamabad has been resisting the pressure from Beijing. Pakistan in recent months has been witnessing spate of attacks against Chinese workers employed in scores of projects under the USD 60 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The latest attack was in April when a woman suicide bomber from the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) blew herself near a van carrying Chinese nationals near Karachi University. Three Chinese were killed in the incident. Baloch insurgent groups have previously carried out several attacks targeting the CPEC projects. While BLA is opposed to Chinese presence in Balochistan, Pakistan’s militant outfit the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) too have been blamed for some of the attacks on Chinese nationals. Pakistan has raised a separate military force to protect the Chinese workers but Beijing is increasingly getting restive over the recurring attacks resulting in heavy casualties. Zhao said, “We have taken note of the efforts made by the Pakistani government on protecting CPEC and intergovernmental projects and relevant companies.” “They have set up a special task force for protecting their security. Pakistan is protecting Chinese personnel and institutions there,” he said, adding that relevant departments of the two sides and the embassies of both the countries are in close communication and coordination on the matter. In July last year, masked armed men on a motorcycle opened fire on a vehicle carrying two Chinese nationals in Karachi in which one of them was critically wounded. In the same month, nearly a dozen Chinese engineers were killed when a bus carrying construction workers was attacked in northwest Pakistan. In November 2018, Baloch militants had attacked the Chinese consulate in Karachi but failed to break through the security barrier with three of them killed on the spot.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"China,Chinese,Pakistan,Beijing,Islamabad,Karachi,Chinese Foreign Ministry,Zhao Lijian,the Ministry of State Security,Interior Ministry","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-28T12:33:05.923761+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"nEvUGJKyhyKn","slug":"english/china-reduces-quarantine-for-people-arriving-from-abroad","title":"China reduces quarantine for people arriving from abroad","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/APTOPIX_Virus_Outbreak_China_16055_7DgbrJPLd.jpg","coverCaption":"Residents line up to get a throat swab at a testing site due to requirements for a negative COVID test in the last 72 hours to enter some buildings and using public transportation in Beijing, Tuesday, June 28, 2022.

Jun 28 (PTI) China's central bank has signed an agreement with Switzerland based Bank for International Settlements (BIS) as part of Beijing’s plans to establish a yuan pooling scheme starting with Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Chile to counter the dominance of the US dollar.The arrangement aims to provide liquidity support for participating central banks during future periods of market volatility by creating a reserve pool, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), which signed the agreement with BIS last Saturday, said.The establishment of the arrangement is conducive to meeting the reasonable international demand for the renminbi, and will make positive contributions to the enhancement of the regional financial safety net, the apex bank said.The arrangement initially includes central banks in Asia and the Pacific, including Bank Indonesia, the Central Bank of Malaysia, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Central Bank of Chile, the PBOC said.The plan comes amid heightened worry in Beijing about the US dollar dominance and search by the global investors for safe harbours as the US embarked on monetary normalisation to tame high inflation, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported on Tuesday.The Renminbi Liquidity Arrangement, which could be used in periods of market volatility in the future, initially includes the PBOC, the Bank Indonesia, the Central Bank of Malaysia, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Central Bank of Chile.Each participant will contribute a minimum of 15 billion yuan (USD 2.2 billion) or the equivalent in US dollars, creating a reserve pool at the BIS, a statement from the Switzerland-based financial institution owned by central banks said.They will also have access to additional funding through a collateralised liquidity window, which allows participating central banks to make additional borrowing using their existing holdings as collateral, the Post report said.Lately, China’s renminbi has been used more often in trade settlements, international investment and financing, and foreign exchange transactions, more central banks have included it in their foreign exchange reserve pools, and market players have gradually displayed increased willingness to use it, state-run China Daily reported.However, the US Federal Reserve is speeding up tightening of monetary systems and launched the process of balance sheet contractions in June.Against this backdrop, the launch of a renminbi liquidity arrangement is of great significance to defusing potential risks, the Daily’s report said. “It could draw more members to join in the future,” said Ding Shuang, chief Greater China economist at Standard Chartered Bank.China has for years sought to increase global use of the yuan.Beijing has signed more than three trillion yuan worth of bilateral currency swap deals with more than 40 countries, including 400 billion yuan each with Hong Kong and South Korea, 350 billion yuan each with the Bank of England and the European Central Bank, 300 billion yuan with Singapore and 150 billion yuan with Russia, according to the Post report.Chinese authorities took a prudent approach to yuan internationalisation in the 14th five-year plan for 2021-25, calling it a matter of market choice and a gradual process.“The announcement shows that the Chinese central bank has been making a huge effort to promote the construction of institutional infrastructure. This could be due to the weaponisation of finance in recent years,” he told the Post.While tension over the Hong Kong national security law triggered heated discussions over potential China-US financial decoupling in 2020, recent Western sanctions on Moscow have served as a particular wake-up call for Beijing, including the exclusion of major Russian banks from the Swift messaging system and freezing the assets of the Russian central bank.The share of the yuan in global payments, forex transactions and reserve assets is still far behind the US dollar, but many analysts believe the Russia-Ukraine war and market turmoil following the US Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes could give it a chance to catch-up.“Sanctions have disrupted the global financial order … and they will accelerate de-dollarisation,” Citic Securities, a leading Chinese investment bank, wrote in its midyear outlook last week. Beijing’s plan for yuan internationalisation may also get a push through the Belt and Road Initiative, especially within Asia, the Post report said.“The yuan has initially played the role of an anchor currency in Asia,” Ding Zhijie, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange’s (SAFE) research centre, wrote in the June issue of Modern Bankers magazine.But the SAFE official said yuan internationalisation will be complicated and a long-term task. “In the future we should pay more attention to economic connections and enhance regional monetary and financial cooperation,” he said.The yuan accounted for 2.14 per cent of global payments in April, far below the 41.81 per cent commanded by the US dollar.In terms of its proportion of global foreign exchange reserves, the yuan ranked fifth at the end of last year with a 2.79 per cent share, compared to the 58.5 per cent for the US dollar and 20.6 per cent for the euro.The yuan’s weight in the International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights basket will be raised to 12.28 per cent on August 1, an increase of 1.36 percentage points from the 2016 assessment, according to the Post report.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"China,Beijing,US,Hong Kong,Post,Malaysia,Asia,Switzerland,Singapore,the Central Bank","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-28T06:24:05.024326+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"M66sDobOeVZU","slug":"english/censors-delete-discussion-of-beijings-future-covid-control","title":"Censors delete discussion of Beijing's future COVID control","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/APTOPIX_Virus_Outbreak_China_65794_2HIZRQuwP.jpg","coverCaption":"A restaurant cook wearing a mask takes a break out on the sidewalk, Monday, June 27, 2022, in Beijing.

Listing the rapid geopolitical upheavals, the Chief of Air Staff noted that any future conflict will require the integration of all elements of the national security apparatus to make it an All-of-Nation-Approach.We have certain challenges on our western and northern borders, primarily due to unsettled borders. It would be prudent for us to comprehend our situation as a 'two-front' contingency' and prepare for it accordingly, he opined.The chief of Air Staff said that India's military operational plans, capability enhancement and training should always cater for a wide spectrum of threats emanating from either or both fronts.Several top military officials including India's first Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat and former Army Chief Gen MM Naravane had flagged concerns about the possibility of a coordinated threat along the northern and western fronts.But it is for the first time that a serving chief has called for a detailed plan to deal with such a threat.We are also cognisant of the need to be prepared for an event-based short-duration operation which necessitates quick planning, rapid deployment of assets and swift action, he said.IAF is working intricately on all these aspects to build a credible force to cater to all contingencies, he added. The comments by the IAF chief came in the backdrop of a greater realisation among India's national security planners that the country must have a comprehensive security architecture in the face of rapid geopolitical turmoil as well as the strategic reality of the long-term militarisation of the LAC by China.We must take a longer-term view and look at the manifestation of hostile forces on our national interests rather than compare threats as per the present state of affairs, Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari said.We face a different adversary on our western and northern borders, both in terms of its nature and numbers. As defence forces, we remain ever vigilant to respond to any threat and to safeguard national sovereignty at all costs, he said.The chief of Air Staff exuded confidence that the Indian armed forces have provided enough deterrence to preclude any misadventure on our borders.On China expanding its military infrastructure along the LAC, Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari said the IAF continually keep abreast of the capability development across the borders and take actions to mitigate any threats that such developments may cause.I am happy to see the pace of our infrastructure up-gradation in order to meet the requirements of our new inductions and operational imperatives, he said, adding the Chinook helicopters have started operating from one of the two earmarked bases in the east with infrastructure development nearing completion at the second base.The IAF chief said the infrastructure for the second Rafale squadron and subsequent operationalisation has also been completed in the eastern sector.He said existing Advanced Landing Grounds (ALGs) in the North-Eastern region have been upgraded by putting in place additional resources and equipment.Further, we realise the inherent attributes of air power that allow us to rapidly concentrate effects over wide geographical areas in very short timelines, he said.While I would not comment upon our actual deployment, it would suffice to state that the IAF can deliver the desired punch when required within a very short time-frame, he added.Asked what role the IAF can play in the Indo-Pacific, the Air Chief Marshal said it is committed to playing its part in ensuring freedom of navigation and progression of a rules-based order in the region in line with the country's foreign policy.There is a requirement of maintaining peace, tranquillity, freedom of movement and most importantly equal rights for all nations in the region, irrespective of their size and might, he said.India's growing stature has seen its convergence not only with like-minded nations but also with global stakeholders in the Indo-Pacific, he added.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"India,China,IAF,Air Staff,New Delhi,Jun 26,VR Chaudhari,Russian,Ukraine,Beijing","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-26T06:57:06.185929+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"A2SuV0kzCDkq","slug":"english/chinas-xi-to-visit-hong-kong-for-handover-anniversary","title":"China's Xi to visit Hong Kong for handover anniversary","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Hong_Kong_Xi_24740_FwCR4mN8X.jpg","coverCaption":"FILE - Chinese President Xi Jinping, left, and Hong Kong's new Chief Executive Carrie Lam attend the ceremony of administering the oath for a five-year term in office at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in Hong Kong on July 1, 2017.

It offered the freedoms that many Hong Kongers were used to and saw disappearing in their hometown.Lam’s move to Taiwan in 2019, where he reopened his bookstore in Taipei, the capital, presaged a wave of emigration from Hong Kong as the former British colony came under the tighter grip of China’ s central government and its long-ruling Communist Party.“It’s not that Hong Kong doesn’t have any democracy, it doesn’t even have any freedom,” Lam said in a recent interview. “When the English were ruling Hong Kong, they didn’t give us true democracy or the power to vote, but the British gave Hong Kongers a very large space to be free.”Hong Kong and Chinese leaders will mark next week the 25th anniversary of its return to China. At the time, some people were willing to give China a chance. China had promised to rule the city within the one country, two systems” framework for 50 years. That meant Hong Kong would retain its own legal and political system and freedom of speech that does not exist in mainland China.But in the ensuing decades, a growing tension between the city’s Western-style liberal values and mainland China’s authoritarian political system culminated in explosive pro-democracy protests in 2019. In the aftermath, China imposed a national security law that has left activists and others living in fear of arrest for speaking out.Hong Kong still looked the same. The malls were open, the skyscrapers were gleaming. But well-known artist Kacey Wong, who moved to Taiwan last year, said he constantly worried about his own arrest or those of his friends, some of whom are now in jail.“On the outside it’s still beautiful, the sunset at the harbor view. But it’s an illusion that makes you think you’re still free,” he said. “In reality you’re not, the government is watching you and secretly following you.”Though Wong feels safe in Taiwan, life as an exile is not easy. Despite its similarities to Hong Kong, Wong found his new home an alien place. He does not speak Taiwanese, a widely spoken Fujianese dialect. And the laid-back island contrasts strongly with the fast-paced financial capital that was Hong Kong.The first six months were hard, Wong said, noting that traveling as a tourist to Taiwan is completely different than living on the island in self-imposed exile. “I haven’t established the relationship with the place, with the streets, with the people, with the language, with the shop downstairs,” he said.Other, less prominent exiles than Wong or Lam have also had to navigate a system that does not have established laws or mechanisms for refugees and asylum seekers, and has not always been welcoming. That issue is further complicated by Taiwan’s increasing wariness of security risks posed by China, which claims the island as its renegade province, and of Beijing’s growing influence in Hong Kong. For example, some individuals such as public school teachers and doctors have been denied permanent residency in Taiwan because they had worked for the Hong Kong government, said Sky Fung, the secretary general of Hong Kong Outlanders, a group that advocates for Hong Kongers in Taiwan. Others struggle with the tighter requirements and slow processing of investment visas. In the past year or so, some have chosen to leave Taiwan, citing a clearer immigration path in the U.K. and Canada, despite the bigger gulf in language and culture.Wong said that Taiwan has missed a golden opportunity to keep talented people from Hong Kong. “The policies and actions, and what the ... government is doing is not proactive enough and caused uncertainty in these people, that’s why they’re leaving,” he said.The island’s Mainland Affairs Council has defended its record, saying it found that some migrants from Hong Kong hired immigration companies who took illegal methods, such as not carrying through on investments and hiring locals they had promised on paper. “We in Taiwan, also have national security needs,” Chiu Chui-cheng, deputy minister at the Mainland Affairs Council, said on a TV program last week. “Of course we also want to help Hong Kong, we have always supported Hong Kongers in their support for freedom, democracy and rule of law.”Some 11,000 Hong Kongers got residence permits in Taiwan last year, according to Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency, and 1,600 were able to get permanent residency. The U.K. granted 97,000 applications to Hong Kong holders of British National Overseas passports last year in response to China's crackdown. However imperfect, Taiwan gives the activists a chance to continue to carry out their work, even if the direct actions of the past were no longer possible. Lam was one of five Hong Kong booksellers whose seizure by Chinese security agents in 2016 drew global concern. He often lends his presence to protests against China, most recently attending a June 4 memorial in Taipei to mark the anniversary of a bloody crackdown on democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989. Similar protests in Hong Kong and Macao, until recently the only places in China allowed to commemorate the Tiananmen massacre, are no longer allowed.“As a Hong Konger, I actually haven’t stopped my resistance. I have always continued to do what I needed to do in Taiwan, and participated in my events. I have not given up fighting,” Lam said.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"25.0478","longitude":"121.5319","name":"Taipei,Taiwan","city":"Taipei"},"keywords":"Taiwan,Hong Kong,China,Wong,Hong Kongers,Taipei,British,Chinese,Beijing,U.K.","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-24T02:15:22.526433+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"Y88H2SP9pb6a","slug":"english/jaishankars-assertions-against-eu-centralism-ability-of-india-china-to-manage-ties-reflect-indias-independence-wang-yi","title":"Jaishankar's assertions against EU centralism, ability of India-China to manage ties reflect India’s independence: Wang Yi","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-23T15:57:06.510755+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1655999825.595473, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Beijing, Jun 23 (PTI) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi praised his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar's recent comments disapproving of European centralism and his assertion that China-India are \\\"perfectly capable\\\" of managing their ties, saying his remarks reflected New Delhi's \\\"tradition of independence\\\".\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"In his first meeting with Indian Ambassador to China Pradeep Kumar Rawat on Wednesday, Wang said that the two countries should work in the same direction to maintain the warming momentum in China-India relations and bring them back to the track of stable and sound development at an early date.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The two sides should work together to cope with various global challenges, and safeguard the common interests of China, India and the vast developing countries, he said in comments posted on the Foreign Ministry website.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"Recently, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar publicly expressed his disapproval of European centralism and objections to external forces meddling in China-India relations.

A plane carrying 90 Pakistani students arrived in Xian on Monday, Pakistan’s state-run news agency Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported. After undergoing a 14-day quarantine, they will go to their respective universities in different cities. China, after representations, agreed to allow 250 Pakistani students to return. There are still 6,000 Pakistani students who intend to go back to China to pursue their studies, the report said. According to estimates, about 28,000 Pakistani students study in China and most of them returned home at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in 2020. Since then, like most of the foreign students, they were stuck back home due to China’s visa and flight bans. China, however, is yet to announce its plans to allow Indian students’ return. In April, after repeated representations from India, China agreed to permit the return of “some stranded Indian students and asked the Indian Embassy here to collect the details of those seeking to return. As per China’s official reports, over 23,000 Indian students are studying in Chinese colleges. Over 12,000 Indian students have expressed their wish to return and their details have been forwarded to the Chinese government for processing. China is yet to come up with a criterion to permit the return of the students as Beijing is reluctant to allow their return at once in view the recent COVID-19 spike in the country. Last week, China announced plans to provide visas to Indian professionals and their families working in various Chinese cities who are stuck back home for over two years due to Beijing’s COVID-19 visa bans. The Chinese Embassy in India updated its COVID-19 visa policy after over two years to accept visa applications of foreign nationals and their accompanying family members wanting to go to China for the resumption of work in all fields. This week, it further updated with COVID-19 protocols to be followed by visa holders to travel to China. While opening visa services to Indians, China is yet to announce plans to open flight facilities between the two countries. Currently, only diplomats between the two countries travel through the expensive third-country flight routes. However, China’s visa announcement has created hope that flight services too may be resumed between the two countries soon.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"China,Indians,Indian,Pakistani,Chinese,Beijing,Xian,India,Pakistan,Associated Press of Pakistan","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-21T14:45:04.432138+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"uSPkgqXqOAAI","slug":"english/japan-pm-says-dialogue-with-china-s-korea-key-to-stability","title":"Japan PM says dialogue with China, S.

Hundreds of thousands of people commented after videos of the attack were posted online, many calling for justice.Police arrived at the scene 28 minutes after they received the report, and the injured had been sent to the hospital by the time they arrived, provincial authorities said in a statement. The deputy chief of the Tangshan police Lubei branch, which was responsible for the initial handling of the case, has been removed from office, though the statement did not say why. Four women eating at a late-night barbecue restaurant were brutally attacked by a group of men in the early hours of June 10, after one of the women appeared to reject the advances of one of the men and fought back after she was slapped, surveillance video from the restaurant showed. The attackers could be seen shoving the women to the ground, kicking them, throwing a chair at them, and later dragging one of the women out of the restaurant to continue beating her on the sidewalk. One had a bloodied and swollen face as she was taken away on a stretcher. Nine suspects were arrested the next day. In recent days, rumors have spread online that at least one of the women had died, but the Hebei public security statement appeared to contradict that.It said that the conditions of the two hospitalized women were improving and that they had sustained “second-degree light injuries.” The other two women were slightly injured and not hospitalized, the statement said.While some online comments applauded the statement for refuting the rumors, more raised questions about the severity of the women’s injuries and the slow initial response of the police.Reports of a series of gang crimes in Tangshan surfaced after the attack, along with public questioning of alleged ties between the police and gang members. The investigation into the case has been transferred to the police in another jurisdiction, the city of Langfang, which is also in Hebei province.The Hebei province anti-corruption body said Tuesday that five police officers are under investigation, including the chief of the Lubei branch in Tangshan and at least two others from a police station under the Lubei branch. ___Associated Press news assistant Caroline Chen contributed.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"39.9075","longitude":"116.3972","name":"Beijing,China","city":"Beijing"},"keywords":"China,Tangshan,BEIJING,The Hebei province,Public Security Department,Beijing,Lubei,Hebei,Hebei province,Associated Press","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-21T10:33:07.160515+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"EsIzMP8T6EY1","slug":"english/un-biodiversity-summit-moved-from-china-over-covid-19-policy","title":"UN biodiversity summit moved from China over COVID-19 policy","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Virus_Outbreak_China_UN_Summit_17490_A_Xn7AaOy.jpg","coverCaption":"FILE - The Danish art group Superflex projects marine life images onto the United Nations headquarters building in New York City with the East River visible in the background on Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021.

The aircraft carrier named Fujian was launched at a brief ceremony held at Shanghai's Jiangnan Shipyard, the official media reported from the eastern metropolis. The Fujian is China's first domestically designed and built catapult aircraft carrier, Xinhua news agency reported.The launch was delayed by two months due to the COVID lockdown of Shanghai. It was due to be launched on April 23 around the 73rd anniversary of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).The third aircraft carrier built by China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited has a displacement of more than 80,000 tonnes and is equipped with electromagnetic catapults and arresting devices.Fujian is the name of China's eastern coastal province of Fujian.China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, was a refit of the Soviet-era ship commissioned in 2012, followed by the indigenously built 2nd aircraft carrier Shandong in 2019.China plans to have around five aircraft carriers, according to the official media.The next aircraft carrier China plans to build is expected to be nuclear-powered.The Fujian was launched at a short but festive ceremony where the naming certificate of the vessel was given to the top officer receiving the delivery of the aircraft carrier.Officials then cut the ribbon marking the launch of the third aircraft carrier, after which the massive vessel left the dock.The Fujian, which is the first fully domestically developed and constructed aircraft carrier with an electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS), has a flat, straight flight deck and arresting device.It has a full displacement of more than 80,000 tonnes, as much as 20,000 tonnes more than the other two aircraft carriers.EMALS was regarded by Indian naval experts as a major leap forward by the Chinese navy as currently, only the US has such an advanced one.It is more energy-efficient and reduces maintenance. It is also used on the US Navy's Gerald R. Ford-class carriers.China's other two aircraft carriers, which are equipped with ski-jump take-off ramps, the Fujian features a flat-top flight deck.The Type 003 warship with a hull number of 18 is the first carrier in China's fleet to use an electromagnetic catapult to launch planes from the deck, which is faster than the older steam catapult system.But the J-15 aircraft which China currently operates for its aircraft carriers were regarded a major problem for the PLAN as each plane weighed about 18 tonnes, too heavy for carriers in the long run. The planes were considered to be a big drag.However, the launch of Fujian was expected to provide more room for China to operate in the South China Sea and Taiwan Straits which have strategic significance for China where it is pitted against periodic US naval incursions, including the aircraft carriers.Experts say the fast-paced construction of aircraft carriers by China has strategic significance for India too.The launch of Fujian could provide leeway for PLAN to step out of the region and head to India’s backyard, the Indian Ocean, where the Indian Navy has a sizable presence.China has already expanded its naval base at Djibouti in the horn of Africa to berth aircraft carriers.China has also acquired the Hambantota port in Sri Lanka as a debt swap for 99 years. It is also modernising Pakistan’s Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea.Naval experts say Fujian may take some time for operationalisation. Perhaps PLAN may begin sending aircraft carriers to the Indian Ocean by 2025.In a major rejig of its military doctrine, China since 2013 stepped up the development of the navy with a massive budget while cutting down the number of army troops.The modernisation included building several aircraft carriers besides submarines, frigates and assault ships as part of its efforts to expand its global influence.According to one estimate, China is building almost a naval ship a month.However, recent reports said the speedy launch of the aircraft carriers is resulting in technical issues and repairs delaying their operational readiness.China's indigenously built 2nd aircraft carrier Shandong, which was launched in 2019, had to undergo in April its first maintenance and comprehensive examination.China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, a refit of the Soviet-era ship which was commissioned in 2012, is so far the only Chinese aircraft carrier with initial operational capability or the basic level of combat readiness. China's naval buildup comes amid growing geopolitical tensions with the US, which under President Joe Biden is seeking to strengthen ties with allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region to counter Beijing's growing economic influence and military might.Fujian, in the southeast, is the closest province to Taiwan, a self-ruling province that China says must be reunified with the mainland, even by force.For the time being, China's aircraft carriers may provide strategic heft for China in the disputed South China Sea where it is engaged in hotly contested territorial disputes.Beijing has built up and militarised many of the islands and reefs it controls in the region. Both areas are stated to be rich in minerals, oil and other natural resources and are vital to global trade.China claims almost all of the South China Sea.

Makki, a US-designated terrorist, is the brother-in-law of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed. Makki, 74, also known as Abdulrahman Maki, has occupied various leadership roles within LeT, a US-designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO). Both India and the US have already listed Makki as a terrorist under their domestic laws. On June 1, India and the US jointly proposed to list Makki under the UN Security Council's Al-Qaeda and ISIL Sanctions Committee which is also known as the UNSC 1267 Committee. But, China, a close ally of Pakistan, placed a technical hold on the proposal to list Makki and this measure can last for up to six months at a time. All decisions of the Committee are taken through consensus. In New Delhi, government sources said China's decision runs counter to Beijing's claim of combating terrorism and signals its double standards. He has been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalising youths to resort to violence and planning attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, they said. Protecting well-known terrorists from sanctioning will only undermine China's credibility and risk exposing even itself more to the growing threat of terrorism, they said. This decision by China is extremely unfortunate given the overwhelming evidence against Makki. Moreover, it runs counter to China's claims of combating terrorism, said a source. In Beijing, the Chinese foreign ministry on Friday defended its move, saying that its actions were in accordance with the relevant procedures and rules. “I would like to say that China opposes terrorism in all its manifestation and the actions we take in the 1267 committee in the UNSC always abide by relevant procedures and rules, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said when asked why China chose to put a hold on designating the known Pakistan-based terrorist. “China will continue to carry out its work in a constructive and responsible attitude, he said. Asked to elaborate on his comments, especially on procedures and rules, Wang declined to go into details. “I have already shared China’s position quite clearly. I won’t go back to that, he said. Responding to another question about whether China’s stand to put a hold on the designation of the wanted terrorist will add to the growing list of issues causing discord between India and China, he said: “I have already elaborated China’s position and as to the China-India relations, our position is clear and consistent. We hope that India and China can work together and promote the relations to be more sound and stable, Wang said, amidst a chill in bilateral ties over the unresolved military standoff in eastern Ladakh. Earlier also, China has placed holds and blocks on bids by India and its allies to list Pakistan-based terrorists. In May 2019, India had won a huge diplomatic win at the UN when the global body designated Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist”, a decade after New Delhi had first approached the world body on the issue. A veto-wielding permanent member of the UN Security Council, China was the sole hold-out in the 15-nation body on the bid to blacklist Azhar, blocking attempts by placing a technical hold. In 2009, India had moved a proposal by itself to designate Azhar. In 2016 again India moved the proposal with the P3 - the US, the UK and France in the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee to ban Azhar, also the mastermind of the attack on the air base in Pathankot in January 2016. In 2017, the P3 nations moved a similar proposal again. However, on all occasions, China blocked India's proposal from being adopted by the sanctions committee. Keeping up the international pressure to designate Azhar as a global terrorist, the US, supported by France and the UK, had moved a draft resolution directly in the UN Security Council to blacklist him. In November 2010, the US Department of the Treasury had designated Makki as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. As a result of this designation, among other consequences, all property, and interests in property, of Makki that are subject to US jurisdiction are blocked, and US persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with Makki. “In addition, it is a crime to knowingly provide, or attempt or conspire to provide, material support or resources to the Foreign Terrorist Organisation LeT,” the US said. The US Department of State’s Rewards for Justice programme is offering a reward of up to USD 2 million for information on Makki. He has also played a role in raising funds for LeT operations.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"China,India,US,Abdul Rehman Makki,UN,Makki,Pakistan,Beijing,New Delhi,Wang","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-17T11:57:04.991489+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"47ZimOfmrG1w","slug":"english/china-defends-zero-covid-after-us-envoy-warns-of-costs","title":"China defends 'zero-COVID' after US envoy warns of costs","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/APTOPIX_Virus_Outbreak_China_40784_JXnCn5iD7.jpg","coverCaption":"Commuters wearing face masks ride across an intersection in the central business district in Beijing, Friday, June 17, 2022.

China's Communist rulers say the semi-autonomous city and the nearby former Portuguese colony of Macao were merely occupied by foreign powers and that China never relinquished sovereignty over them. It's not a new position for China, but the move is a further example of Beijing’s determination to enforce its interpretation of history and events and inculcate patriotism as it tightens its grip over Hong Kong following massive protests demanding democracy in 2019.“Hong Kong has been Chinese territory since ancient times,” says one new textbook seen by the AP. “While Hong Kong was occupied by the British following the Opium War, it remained Chinese territory.”It is one of four sets of textbooks being offered to schools to replace those currently in use, all stating the same position, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post newspaper reported earlier this week.WAS HONG KONG A COLONY? Hong Kong was a British colony from 1841 until its handover to Chinese rule in 1997, with the exception of Japanese occupation from 1941 to 1945. Its colonial status was the result of a pair of 19th century treaties signed at the end of the first and second Opium Wars, along with the granting of a 99-year lease in 1898 to the New Territories, which greatly expanded the size of the colony. China’s Communist Party, which seized power during a civil war in 1949, says it never recognized what it calls the “unequal treaties” that the former Qing Dynasty was compelled to sign following military defeats.In the late 20th century — with China unwilling to extend the lease on the New Territories, and the colony not viable without them — Britain entered into protracted and often contentious negotiations with Beijing over conditions for the return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule. Ultimately, China took control of Hong Kong in 1997 under a “one country, two systems arrangement that would keep the city's economic, political and judicial systems distinct from those in mainland China for 50 years. That was laid out in a 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration registered with the United Nations, although China now refuses to recognize the agreement. HAS THIS ISSUE COME UP BEFORE? In 1972, just months after the China seat at the United Nations was transferred to Beijing from the Republic of China government that fled to Taiwan during the civil war, the government acted to remove Hong Kong and Macao, which reverted to Chinese rule in 1999, from a U.N. list of colonies, effectively stripping them of their right to self-determination.At a time when European nations had granted independence to other colonies, China feared the same could happen to the British and Portuguese enclaves it wanted back. “The settlement of the questions of Hong Kong and Macao is entirely within China’s sovereign right and does not at all fall under the ordinary category of ‘Colonial Territories,' China's representative said at the time. Mary Gallagher, who teaches Chinese studies at the University of Michigan, said then-Chinese leader Mao Zedong wanted to ensure that Hong Kong would remain part of China. “So Hong Kong moves between the Chinese empire and the British empire, but loses its right to determine its own future,” she said.WHY IS HONG KONG CHANGING TEXTBOOKS NOW? The new textbooks are part of broader changes to education following the 2019 protests, in which many students participated and some played leadership roles. The texts are for liberal studies classes, which the government overhauled last year after pro-Beijing lawmakers and supporters said they encouraged opposition and activist thought. The classes now focus on themes such as national security, patriotism and identity.The textbooks promote the official view that the protest movement was the result of foreign agitation and threatened national security. The Beijing government used such arguments to pass a sweeping National Security Law for Hong Kong in 2020 curtailing free speech, criticism of authorities and political opposition. Authorities have launched a National Security Education Day on April 15, with students encouraged to learn more about national security and take part in educational activities that emphasize the importance of protecting China.WHERE IS THIS LEADING? The new textbooks are part of a push to bring Hong Kong's institutional values more closely in line with those of mainland China, especially in the areas of politics and history. Increasingly, Chinese leader Xi Jinping is imposing his vision of strongly nationalistic and increasingly authoritarian rule on the region. China has sought to eradicate any memory of the military's 1989 bloody suppression of student-led protests centered on Beijing's Tiananmen Square, citing pandemic concerns to ban once huge public commemorations in Hong Kong on the June 4 anniversary. “The Communist Party has a monopoly of the truth and of history in China,” said Steve Tsang, a Chinese politics specialist at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. “In the Xi approach to history, facts are merely incidental. Only interpretation matters. And only one interpretation is allowed.”","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"39.9075","longitude":"116.3972","name":"Beijing,China","city":"Beijing"},"keywords":"China,Hong Kong,UK,Chinese,Beijing,British,Macao,Portuguese,Hong Kong's,the New Territories","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-17T09:06:12.857715+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"pEJPuFBgIV80","slug":"english/china-blocking-listing-of-terrorist-makki-belies-its-claim-of-combating-terrorism-govt-sources","title":"China blocking listing of terrorist Makki belies its claim of combating terrorism: Govt sources","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-17T08:33:05.294224+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1655454784.273806, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, Jun 17 (PTI) China's decision to block a joint proposal by India and the US to designate Pakistan-based Abdul Rehman Makki as an international terrorist under the UN sanctions committee runs counter to Beijing's claim of combating terrorism and signals its \\\"double standards\\\", government sources here said on Friday.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Protecting well-known terrorists from sanctioning will only undermine China's credibility and \\\"risk exposing\\\" even itself more to the growing threat of terrorism, they said.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Makki has been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalising youths to resort to violence and planning attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, they said.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"On June 1, India and the US jointly proposed to list Makki under the UN Security Council's Al-Qaeda and ISIL Sanctions Committee which is also known as the UNSC 1267 Committee.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Both India and the US have already listed Makki as a terrorist under their domestic laws.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"China has placed a \\\"technical hold\\\" on the proposal to list Makki and this measure can last for up to six months at a time.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"This decision by China is extremely unfortunate given the overwhelming evidence against Makki.

The ship Fujian was launched at a “short but festive” ceremony, the daily report said.A launch and naming ceremony was held at about 11 am, when the naming certificate of the vessel was given to the top officer to receive delivery of the aircraft carrier.Officials then cut the ribbon marking the launch of the third aircraft carrier, after which the vessel left the dock, concluding the ceremony.The Fujian, which is the first fully domestically developed and constructed aircraft carrier with catapults, has a flat, straight flight deck equipped with electromagnetic catapults and arresting devices, and has a full displacement of more than 80,000 tonnes, the report said.After the launch, the carrier will start mooring trials and sea trials.Xu Qiliang, a member of the Political Bureau of the ruling Communist Party of China Central Committee and vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended the ceremony.It is the most advanced aircraft carrier built by China, state broadcaster CCTV reported.The Type 003 warship with a hull number of 18, is the first carrier in China’s fleet to use an electromagnetic catapult to launch planes from the deck, which is faster than the older steam catapult system.Political slogans written in large white Chinese characters against a red background were attached to shelters on the deck, apparently, to protect the catapults, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.“Deliver combat power – fighting to fully build a world-class navy,” read a banner.The advanced catapult system, called the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS), is more energy-efficient and reduces maintenance. It is used also on the US Navy’s Gerald R. Ford-class carriers, the Post reported.Unlike China’s other two aircraft carriers, which are equipped with ski-jump take-off ramps, the Fujian features a flat-top flight deck.State-run CCTV said the testing of the carrier’s mooring and navigation systems will be the first priority after Friday’s launch.Recent reports, however, said the speedy launch of the aircraft carriers is resulting in technical issues and repairs delaying their operational readiness.In April, China’s indigenously built 2nd aircraft carrier “Shandong” which was launched in 2019 had to undergo its first “maintenance and comprehensive examination”.“A comprehensive examination to the carrier could be carried out and upgrades and overhauls could be made to those parts that encountered problems or can be optimised based on the experiences gained over the past two years, an official media report said earlier.China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, a refit of the Soviet-era ship which was commissioned in 2012 is so far the only Chinese aircraft carrier with initial operational capability or the basic level of combat readiness.China is rapidly modernising its Navy, including the building of new aircraft carriers.Chinese President Xi Jinping who heads the military besides the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) has carried out extensive reforms of the military, including downsizing the Army and enhancing the role of the Navy and Air force as Beijing set its sights on global expansion with military bases in Djibouti in the Horn of Africa.China has also taken over Sri Lanka's Hambantota port for a 99-year lease and expanded and modernised Pakistan's Gwadar port in the Arabian Sea.China has been fast expanding military and economic influence in the Indo-Pacific region, triggering concern in various countries of the region and beyond.China is engaged in hotly contested territorial disputes in both the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Beijing has built up and militarised many of the islands and reefs it controls in the region. Both areas are stated to be rich in minerals, oil and other natural resources and are vital to global trade.China claims almost all of the South China Sea. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have counter claims over the area.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"China,Beijing,Fujian,Chinese,Shanghai,Liaoning,Soviet,Shandong,Navy,the South China Sea","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-17T07:03:04.542902+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"O1sBdR2T6HtF","slug":"english/asian-stocks-follow-wall-st-lower-on-economy-fears","title":"Asian stocks follow Wall St lower on economy fears","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/South_Korea_Financial_Markets_20324_jIHc2owFd.jpg","coverCaption":"A currency trader gestures in front of the screens showing the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI), left, and the exchange rate of South Korean won against the U.S. dollar at the foreign exchange dealing room of the KEB Hana Bank headquarters in Seo","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-17T06:27:15.470119+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1655447230.018165, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets followed Wall Street lower Friday on fears global economic activity will be depressed by interest rate hikes to cool inflation.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney fell while Hong Kong advanced.
