Rapid economic growth In 2010, China surpassed Japan as the world’s second-largest economy with GDP reaching 39.8 trillion yuan ($6.1 trillion), a 69.9-percent increase from 2005 aft er adjusting for infl a- tion. The average annual growth rate from 2006 to 2010 was 11 percent, far exceeding the target of 7.5 percent set in 2006. Per capita annual income also grew rapidly. In 2010, urban income reached 19,109 yuan, up 82.1 percent in fi ve years, while rural income was 5,919 yuan, up 81.8 percent. Employment and an aging population Th e population now stands at 1.341 billion, and the number of people with jobs increased from 758 million in 2005 to 780 million at the end of 2009. Challenges lie ahead as the popu- lation ages: the number of people in the work- force will decline, and spending on welfare and healthcare will increase. Economic reconstruction and the service sector During the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), focus was given to development of the country’s tertiary sector. Th e goal was to increase the share that sector contributed to GDP to 43.4 percent in 2010, but the fi nal fi gure was 43 percent. Work is still required to increase job opportunities in the sector. Energy saving close to target China’s energy consumption per unit of GDP dropped 19.06%, close to the goal of a 20-percent decrease.

EXCLUSIVE | YE PEIJIAN WANG JING / CHINA DAILY Ye Peijian is chief scientist of deep space exploration at the China Academy of Space Technology. ‘Smart’ Mars probe will boldly go on trek By XIN DINGDING CHINA DAILY BEIJING — China will update and modify its lunar probes to develop a Mars probe, Ye Peijian, chief sci- entist of deep space explora- tion at the China Academy of Space Technology, told China Daily. Modifications, to enable the Mars probe to reach deep space and become “smarter”, will be carried out, said Ye, who is in charge of draft ing a technical plan for exploration of the ‘‘Red Planet’’, which has yet to get government approval. Ye, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sci- ences, believes exploring the planet is the inevitable path for China, a growing space power. “In the last century, lunar landings and exploration were the priority, but the trend has reversed this cen- tury,” he said. The China Academy of Space Technology, designers of the Shenzhou spacecraft and lunar probes, is trying to draft a technical plan for Mars exploration. The Mars probe will be “intelligent” enough to detect faults and correct them by itself, and able to navigate without relying on com- mands sent from Earth. Th is self-reliance is impor- tant due to the distances involved, Ye said. “Mars is so far away from us — from 55 million km to 400 million km depending on its orbit — and signals need a longer time to transmit. Relying on commands from Earth will be impossible.” A signal sent from Earth to Mars will take at least 20 minutes. “When scientists detect something wrong and try to correct it, the time needed to send signals will make it impossible to correct mistakes in time,” he said. Th is ‘‘smart’’ ability will be vital when the probe uses the planet’s gravity to enter orbit, a maneuver that requires the probe to adjust its speed and use the gravitational pull to ensure the correct path. “Due to the time delay in communications, it would be impossible for us to know the exact position of the probe to maneuver it to enter the pre- set orbit,” he said. No such communica- tion gap exists in the moon program, as transmissions to a lunar orbiter only take a second, and scientists can accurately maneuver a probe to ensure its correct orbit. But developing a ‘‘smart’’ probe is not the only major hurdle, he said. Another obstacle to be overcome involves establish- ing a monitoring network for deep space, consisting of large-caliber antennas and communication facilities, which China is currently constructing. Qian Weiping, chief designer of the lunar probe Chang’e-2 mission’s tracking and control system, said in January that the network will be completed in 2016, according to media reports. Th e network will be com- posed of two monitoring stations in China and one in South America, Qian said.

Barely 12 hours after the US said it was moving war- ships and air forces closer to the north African country, Libyan forces re-asserted their presence at the remote Dehiba southern border crossing on Tuesday. Reporters on the Tunisian side saw Libyan army vehicles, and soldiers armed with Kalashnikov rifl es. The previous day, there was no Lib- yan security pres- ence at the border crossing. In another part of the west, residents said pro-Gadhafi forces were deployed to reas- sert control of Nalut, about 60 km from the Tunisian border in western Libya, to ensure it did not fall into the hands of anti-Gadhafi protesters. Rebel forces now control vast swathes of the east of the north African country, and the US has now openly called for Gadhafi to step down, suggest- ing he should go into exile. British Prime Minister David Cameron said his government would work to prepare a “no- fl y” zone to protect the Libyan people. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called on world powers to fully implement the UN Security Council resolu- tion on Libya. Th e text, adopted on Saturday, includes a freeze on Gadhafi ’s assets, a travel ban and seeks to refer his regime’s brutal crackdown to the International Criminal Court. But in his interview at a res- taurant on Tripoli’s Mediterra- nean coast, Gadhafi , 68, looked relaxed and laughed at times as he scoff ed at the uprising. He denied using his air force to attack protesters but said planes had bombed military sites and ammunition depots. He also denied there had been demonstrations and said young people were given drugs by al-Qaida and therefore took to the streets. Libyan forces had orders not to fi re back at them, he said.

By MA LIE CHINA DAILY XI’AN — When Han Qinglong arrived in Beijing last Friday, the capital city was warm and the sky blue. “It was a very pleasant day, just like I felt inside,” recalled Han, head offi cer of the Heri- tage Inspection Team under the Xi’an Public Security Bureau, Shaanxi province. The 46-year-old police- man, who has been fighting tomb robbery and smuggling of cultural relics during the past five years, arrived in Beijing to clear customs for the return of fi ve Tang Dynasty (AD 618–907) murals illegally sold to a buyer in the United States in 2005. Th is is the second batch of cultural relics Han has helped bring back from overseas since 2005. Eight months earlier, Han also saw to it that a 27-ton stone coffi n from the Tang Dynasty arrived safely at the Shaanxi History Museum, four years after it was smuggled out of the country. “It was the fi rst time China took back an ancient relic of such large weight and size, as well as of such high cultural value,” Han said. Th e policeman, standing 1.88 meters tall, played on the Hebei provincial basketball team from 1980 to 1990. Aft er helping his team win its only national bas- ketball championship in 1990, Han retired and came to Xi’an, where his girlfriend lived, and became a policeman. In March 2005, Han joined the heritage protection depart- ment of the city’s public secu- rity bureau. During the investigation of a tomb robbery in February 2006, Han and his team acci- dentally found out about the sarcophagus. Th ey seized a computer from a suspect’s house containing a number of pictures taken of the relic and local archae- ologists soon identified what it was — a sarcophagus stolen from the tomb of Tang Dynasty empress Wu Huifei (AD 699- 737) in Xi’an. “We found that the criminal group was well organized with a clear division of labor. It was a large criminal gang with more than 10 members separately responsible for the excava- tion, sale, repair, trafficking and smuggling of relics,” Han recalled. “Th e group had been in Xi’an and (nearby) Xianyang for a long time robbing a num- ber of ancient tombs.” On Feb 13, 2006, Han’s team successfully busted the tomb- robbing gang, arresting 13 sus- pects and seizing a large number of tomb excavation tools. “Confronted with a large amount of evidence, the sus- pects confessed to stealing the relics and selling them to the United States,” Han said. Han and his team were rewarded by the Ministry of Public Security and Xi’an Pub- lic Security Bureau. But Han continued his eff ort on the case, trying to trace the smuggled relics. “We sent the materials about the stolen sarcophagus to Interpol, and domestic and international non-govern- mental organizations keen on Chinese heritage protection,” Han said. “Later in July 2007, we learned the rare relic was in the hands of an antiques dealer in the United States.” With the help of a connec- tion in the US, they contacted the businessman and asked for the relic back, telling him they would seek help from Interpol if necessary. “Aft er three rounds of nego- tiations, he agreed to uncon- ditionally return the relic to China,” Han said. Over the past fi ve years, Han and his team have successfully cracked more than 50 serious cases and retrieved some 2,300 ancient relics. “The number of relics we seized over the past fi ve years is more than the total during the period from 1949 to 1995,” Han said. He said this suggests the pillaging of Chinese antiques is getting more serious, as thieves, driven by a thriving global market for the relics, loot and smuggle artifacts to sell in foreign countries. This is especially true in a city like Xi’an with a history of more than 3,000 years. Xi’an has been attracting relic robbers and smugglers, as it served as the capital city for 13 dynasties spanning more than 2,000 years of history, Han said. “There are thousands of imperial and high-ranking offi cial tombs under its ground, and as many ancient buildings and other relics above,” the offi cer added. On the other hand, Han con- tinued, the country is working hard to protect its cultural relics and trace its looted and smuggled relics. For example, Han said, the return of the above two Tang Dynasty relics couldn’t have been possible had the country not signed agreements with the US and 12 other countries imposing import restrictions on relics. “These agreements have allowed us to trace our smuggled relics through legal means,” Han said. With only 17 members in his team, Han said he feels as much responsibility as pressure at work, considering the large number of relics the city boasts. “But to protect the heritage left by our ancestors is our sacred mission and responsi- bility,” he said.

The goal has been listed as the top priority in the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) period, he said. The gov- ernor noted that during the 11th Five- Year Plan (2006-2010), disposable income for urban dwellers jumped 83 per- cent to 15,500 yuan ($2,360), while net income for rural residents jumped 87 percent to 4,950 yuan. “Th e past fi ve years have been the best time for Anhui resi- dents to reap the most benefi t from our economic develop- ment,” Wang said. Th e province achieved major breakthroughs in economic development in 2010, he said. Th e establishment of the Dem- onstration Zone for Industrial Relocation into Cities along the Yangtze River by the State Council in early 2010, which covers 10 cities in the province for industrial transfer from advanced eastern coastal cities, has provided Anhui with a good economic outlook. Wang said that thanks to the establishment of the zone, the province had attracted outside investment of 450 billion yuan by November 2010, with more than 12,000 projects each inject- ing 10 million yuan. “We once faced diffi culties in attracting outside
