BEIJING, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — The Chinese mainland and Taiwan on Monday extended the number of regular cross-Strait direct passenger flights from108 to 270 a week.

Six cities, including Hefei, Harbin, Nanchang, Guiyang, Ningbo and Jinan are joining another 21 mainland cities in operating direct passenger flights to Taiwan, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CACC) said Monday.

The 108 direct passenger flights previously operating were all classed as charter flights. The new services will comprise both regular charter and scheduled flights.

Among the 27 designated mainland terminals, 25 will launch scheduled direct passenger flights from Monday to Saturday, to Taipei’s Taoyuan or Kaohsiung airports.

Scheduled direct cargo flights will be launched between Shanghai, Guangzhou on the mainland and Taoyuan, Kaohsiung, which will bring the total number of weekly charter and scheduled cargo flights to 28, according to the CACC.

The mainland and Taiwan began direct air and sea transport links and postal services on Dec. 15 last year. Previously, air and sea connections, including mail, were routed through a third location, usually Hong Kong.

On Nov. 4 last year, the mainland and Taiwan agreed to regular direct passenger charter flights across the Taiwan Strait. Before that, flights were only offered on weekends and during the country’s four major traditional festivals — the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

BEIJING, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said Monday it would extend anti-dumping duties on phthalic anhydride imported from the Republic of Korea, Japan and India for another five years after review investigation.

Phthalic anhydride is an important industrial chemical mainly used in the mass production of plasticizers for plastics

The imported phthalic anhydride would cause damage to Chinese industries should anti-dumping duties be lifted, said the ministry.

The duties took effect Monday.

On Jan. 7, China imposed anti-dumping measures on phthalic anhydride to offset negative impact on domestic producers.

Disney to buy comic book powerhouse Marvel for US$4B

The Walt Disney Co. said Monday it is buying Marvel Entertainment Inc. for US$4 billion in cash and stock, bringing such characters as Iron Man and Spider-Man into the family of Mickey Mouse and WALL-E.

Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters. Many of them, including the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, were co-created by the comic book legend Stan Lee.

Analyst David Joyce of Miller Tabak & Co. said the acquisition will help Disney appeal to young men who have flocked to theaters to see Marvel’s superhero fare in recent years. That contrasts with Disney’s recent successes among young women with such fare as “Hannah Montana” and the Jonas Brothers.

“It helps Disney add exposure to a young male demographic it had sort of lost some balance with,” Joyce said, noting the $4 billion offer was at “full price.”

Disney said Marvel shareholders will receive $30 per share in cash, plus 0.745 Disney shares for every Marvel share they own. That values each Marvel share at $50 based on Friday’s closing stock prices.

Marvel shares jumped $10.17, or 26 percent, to $48.82 shortly after the market opened. Disney shares fell 47 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $26.37.

Disney said the boards of both companies have approved the transaction, but it will require an antitrust review and the approval of Marvel shareholders.

Disney last made a big purchase in 2006 when it acquired Pixar Animation Studios Inc., the creator of the “Toy Story” franchise, for $7.4 billion in stock.

Disney CEO Robert Iger said the latest acquisition combines Marvel’s “strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters” with Disney’s “unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties” and ability to maximize value across multiple platforms and territories.

Marvel earned a net profit of $206 million last fiscal year, up 47 percent from a year earlier, on revenue of $676 million, as it took movie production in house instead of just cutting licensing deals.

Fear grips students in Australia

Chinese students in Australia are scared for their safety following a string of disappearances and murders involving Asians in the country.

Jia Li, 29, a University of Sydney student, said young Chinese were staying away from late-night events and avoiding walking alone.

“I don’t go out at night and ask friends to accompany me after night courses. I avoid the back seats in buses. I tell my boyfriend before I go somewhere and my classmates also tell friends about their whereabouts,” Jia told China Daily.

Police are investigating a number of disappearances and murders involving members of the Chinese community in recent months. These include 18-year-old student Xing Chaojin, whose shoes and backpack were found on Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach on June 2.

Last month, four members of a Chinese family were bludgeoned to death in their Sydney home. And police are investigating the discovery of the body of a 27-year-old Chinese man missing since March. Investigators believe he was murdered.

New South Wales Asian Crime Squad commander Jon Alt said Chinese were not being targeted based on ethnicity.

“There is no information to date to suggest there is any link between these crimes,” Alt said.

Anthony Pun, president of the Chinese Community Council of Australia, also said recent attacks on Chinese were not racially motivated. Such reassurances haven’t calmed people’s nerves, however.

Jasmine Wang, a Chinese University of Sydney student, said she and her classmates had become more careful.

“My classmates don’t dare leave their homes when it gets dark. I’ve never felt this unsafe in China,” said Wang.

About 120,000 Chinese students study in Australia. The country’s A$15.5-billion international education market is its third-largest export industry.

In Beijing, overseas study agencies say parents are concerned about security in Australia, but there has been no decrease in interest in studying at the country’s universities.

“What happened in Australia is a reminder. In July, we set up two-day workshops and a one-week training session teaching students how to deal with emergency issues in foreign countries,” said Sha He, who is with Welltrend, an overseas study agent.

A spokesperson for Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the Australian government is working to ensure the safety of international students.

“Despite a small number of recent attacks, Australia remains one of the safest countries in the world for international students to come and study. Most students go about their day-to-day business safely,” the spokesperson said.

Next Wednesday, thousands of students are expected to march through the streets of Sydney and Melbourne in protest over a number of issues, including student safety.

Liu Yinghui, former president of the Chinese students association at the University of Sydney, said the march is not an effective solution to the problems. “Schools should set up safety centers based on ethnicity to provide support to students.”

New U.S. ambassador seeks to define shared interests with China

BEIJING, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — New U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, who arrived in Beijing on Friday, pledged Wednesday to have a clear view of the shared interests between the United States and China.

“Part of what we will do in the next few years is to carefully define what are the shared interests,” Huntsman said.

Speaking English and Chinese in an exclusive interview with Xinhua, Huntsman characterized the U.S.-China relationship as “the most important in the world.”

“We need to recognize such importance,” he added.

The United States and China would find a lot more shared interests as the two countries looked to solve significant global problems, he said, referring to climate change, energy, regional security, and the global economy.

“When President Obama called me to his office, he mentioned he believes (the Unites States and China) could do more in terms of problem solving on global issues and I think this is rather unprecedented.”

Huntsman was nominated by President Barack Obama as ambassador to China in May and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in early August.

“I think this presidency, more than any other before, will very much be defined by the U.S. and China together tackling global challenging issues and it’s a function of the U.S. and China carefully defining what our shared interests are,” Huntsman said.

“Now it’s up to ambassadors, foreign ministries, to be able to communicate and to define which issues are the most important in our relationship,” the ambassador added.

Huntsman’s China experience started in early 1980s when he visited Beijing as a White House staff assistant in the Reagan administration.

Since then, he has led trade missions to China and adopted a Chinese daughter from east China’s Yangzhou city in 1999.

Huntsman has also served as U.S. ambassador to Singapore before and was governor of Utah from 2005 until his resignation to serve as an ambassador to China on Aug. 11.

As ambassador, Huntsman said the biggest challenge was to keep the bilateral relationship focused on priorities, and not to get side-tracked or lose consistency of growth.

“Once you carefully define what the priority issues are, you don’t want to get side-tracked. You have to stay focused on things like the global economy and trade, finance, energy and climate-related issues, and things like regional security and our human rights dialogue this year,” he said.

He called for the both nations to “transcend disagreements, difficulties and challenges,” and work together to solve significant global problems.

“Our job is to, very intelligently, comprehensively, and very positively, outline what the priorities would be. That’s what we are working on now.”

Huntsman said he would invite his friends in the U.S. congress as well as state governors to visit China because “they have to sense on the ground the real change that has occurred and the energy and the vibrancy of the country”. Only then could they understand the important interests the two countries shared.

Huntsman quipped that he and his adopted daughter were both ambassadors.

“She is only 10 years old, but I told her she is Chinese raised in America coming back to China and is a bridge between China and the United States.

“I am the formal ambassador appointed by my country and she is the unofficial ambassador, but nevertheless she will understand both sides,” Huntsman said.

Beijing-Tokyo forum important “first touch” for two gov’ts

BEIJING, Aug. 27 — The first major meeting between Beijing and members of a new Japanese government, which will be elected on Sunday, is expected at a forum in November, organizers said Wednesday.

Senior Chinese and Japanese officials are set to take part in the forum jointly held by China Daily newspaper and Genron NPO, a Japanese think tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations, said Yasushi Kudo, head of Genron NPO.

“The Beijing-Tokyo Forum may be the first opportunity for interaction between the two governments, and the first diplomatic activity that the new Japanese government attaches importance to,” Kudo told a press conference announcing the release of a joint survey on Sino-Japanese relations sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO.

The survey is affiliated with the Beijing-Tokyo Forum, an annual meeting of political and NGO leaders from both countries initiated in 2006.

Gao Anming, secretary-general of the organizing committee of the forum and a member of China Daily’s editorial board, announced at the press conference that the forum, one of most significant ones between the two nations, would be held in Dalian, Liaoning province.

More than 100 representatives from political, academic, business and media circles from both nations will attend the forum themed “Sino-Japanese Cooperation in the Global Economic Crisis”. The meeting is of a higher level than the previous ones, he said.

One of the topics at the meeting this year, Gao said, will be how China and Japan, the two largest holders of U.S. bonds, plan to ensure the safety of their money.

Japan’s opposition Democratic Party (DPJ), highly likely to win the Aug 30 election and end the rule of the Liberal Democratic Party, which controlled Japan for most of the past 54 years, will focus on domestic affairs, including political reform and dispatching more than 100 of DPJ members to key government positions in the first two months of its administration if it wins, Kudo told China Daily at the press conference.

“But it also needs to unveil its foreign policy as early as possible and take diplomatic action no later than November. That coincides with the date of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,” Kudo said.

Many politicians in the Japanese organizing committee of the forum are involved in the election and some are expected to be part of the new government, he said.

“We hope the DPJ can grasp the opportunity and dispatch key members to attend the forum if it becomes the ruling party,” he said.

“We, as well as China Daily, believe the power of sincere talks will change history.”

As for the DPJ’s China policy, Kudo said the party “attaches great importance to Asia and is considering a more explicit stance on issues of the Yasukuni shrine and Japanese war responsibility”.

Zhou Yongsheng, an expert on Japanese studies with China Foreign Affairs University, said the forum is a golden opportunity for the “first touch” of the two governments.

“China can observe the neighbor’s new foreign policy to help with making its own judgment, while Japan will have the first opportunity to show its diplomatic ideas to China.”

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, then chief cabinet secretary and a leading candidate for the position of the next Japanese prime minister, attended Beijing-Tokyo Forum in 2006.

Then Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda sent a letter of congratulation to last year’s forum.

LJUBLJANA, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Slovenian Prime Minister Borut Pahor said on Thursday that the visit of Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu and the accompanying strong business delegation would boost economic cooperation between the two countries.

During their talks, Pahor told Hui that Slovenia attaches great importance to China’s development and regard China as its most important partner in Asia.

He said that in the face of global financial crisis Slovenia would like to further strengthen friendly cooperation with China, expanding exchange and cooperation in areas such as business and transportation.

“As a small and open economy, Slovenia is trying to successfully deal with the economic crisis also by being more intensively present on the Chinese market.”

Pahor said that Slovenia would attend the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai although on a smaller-scale than originally planned.

Hui, who was on an official visit to Slovenia, was accompanied by a delegation of around 80 representatives from 60 Chinese companies, who held talks with Slovenian business people at the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Hui meanwhile said that China highly appreciated positions Slovenia takes on important international issues.

“We are happy with the positive role Slovenia plays within the EU and we highly appreciate Slovenia’s support for and understanding of China when it comes to its biggest worries and vital interests,” he said.

On the margin of the visit, five documents were signed to promote the bilateral cooperation: a memorandum on cooperation in agriculture and another in the area of SMEs, an action plan on health care and medicine for the 2009-2012 period, an agreement on cooperation between Ljubljana University and the Beijing Foreign Studies University and another to establish a Confucian institute at the Ljubljana Faculty of Economics.

Hui arrived in Slovenia on Wednesday evening in what is one of the highest-profile visits from China since Slovenia gained independence in 1991.

Slovenia is the first leg of Hui’s European tour, which will also take him to Belarus, Lithuania and Latvia. Hui will also attend the third World Climate Conference, which is scheduled to be held in Geneva, Switzerland from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4.
