By WU JIAO in Pyongyang and CHENG GUANGJIN in Beijing Th e Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un made his first televised speech on Sunday in a gesture that analysts said showcased “the confi dence of the new leadership”. He spoke as the country held its largest military parade to mark the centenary of the birth of its founder Kim Il-sung, Jong-un’s grandfather. A large new missile, what appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic mis- sile according to media reports, was the highlight of the parade. Dressed in a dark suit, Kim Jong-un appeared confi dent and calm as he read from notes from a viewing stand overlooking tens of thousands of troops taking part in the massive parade in Pyongyang’s main square. Analysts said the rare public speech by a DPRK leader and the military parade aimed to boost confi dence among people in the DPRK and cement the new leadership led by the young Kim. During the 20-minute speech, he laud- ed his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, and his father, Kim Jong-il, as the “founder and the builder of our revolutionary armed forces”. He also made it clear that the military will continue to have a dominant role in the country, following the “military fi rst” policy, as it had under his father. Kim, in his late 20s, became leader of the country with a population of 23 mil- lion aft er the death of former leader Kim Jong-il in December. CHINADAILY chinadaily.com.cn RMB ¥1.5MONDAY, April 16, 2012 By HU YUANYUAN L i Qiang, a 22-year-old migrant worker from East China’s Anhui prov-ince, decided to return to Beijing from his hometown in March, but only aft er his boss promised to raise his daily wage from 200 yuan ($32) to 250 yuan. Li, an interior decorator, first arrived in Beijing in 2006, fol- lowing in the footsteps of a fellow villager. His monthly income, he said, has increased tenfold, from less than 800 yuan to nearly 8,000 yuan, in the past six years. “I would still prefer to go back to my hometown and build a house there once I’ve saved enough mon- ey,” Li said, adding he doesn’t have a sense of belonging in Beijing. Chen Han, also 22, is still striv- ing to settle down in the capital. The college graduate has yet to secure a permanent job, despite attending more than six job fairs so far this year. Chen said it is hard to find a good post nowadays, even though he majored in business manage- ment. Moreover, the monthly sal- ary of 3,000 yuan off ered by most recruiters is at the bottom end of his expected range and would barely be enough to allow him to survive in the city.

Th e book fair, one of the larg- est in the world, started its mar- ket-focus program in 2004, and since 2008, has partnered with the British Council to concen- trate on emerging markets. “I’m looking forward to meeting many of the Chinese authors who are coming over,” the event’s director, Alistair Burtenshaw, told Xinhua News Agency. Burtenshaw is certain to be happy about the large size of the Chinese writers’ del- egation this year, said Joanna Burke, the culture and educa- tion counselor for the British embassy and British Council China director. The fair’s Market Focus launch on Sunday marked three days of meetings between the 21 Chinese writers and their established British coun- terparts on various topics, 11 exhibitions, 10 professional forums and seminars, and, of course, book launches. Th e fi rst Chinese event to be unveiled was an exhibition of original and up-to-date cre- ations of Chinese seals and calligraphy by artist Luo Peng- peng at the Royal College of Art on Saturday. Pre-fair events also included a China-UK forum on invest- ment in the publishing indus- try, and a meeting between Chinese delegation leaders and 20 CEOs of major publishers and media groups. Minister of General Admin- istration of Press and Publica- tion Liu Binjie said the Chinese side highly valued the chance to present 300 events at the fair by 180 Chinese publishers and organizations. “The 3,000 Chinese titles translated into English will leave a unique imprint on the UK and voice for the world to hear,” Liu said. “We also hope the fair brings greater mutual understanding and strengthens the friendship between Britain and China,” Liu said. Joanna Burke, of the Brit- ish Council, told China Daily: “The British public is very aware of the importance of China’s emergence as a world power and their interest in Chi- nese language and culture has never been higher. “China has a rapidly devel- oping literary scene and with the world’s second-largest economy and one of the larg- est publishing markets in the world, China is also a crucial publishing market.” Burtenshaw said that “Chi- na is the world’s largest mar- ket by volume, and one of the most important book indus- tries in the world that is very distinctive”. He added that more than 100 Chinese publishers are repre- sented at the book fair. Each year, the London Book Fair welcomes publish- ers from around 110 countries and regions, and 25,000 pub- lishers, booksellers and liter- ary agents. “Th ere will be wonder oppor- tunities for them to engage with Chinese publishers and Chinese authors,” he said. London bookstore owner Michael Sheringham is also seeking to promote Chinese literature, especially contem- porary work. His bookstore is organizing Chinese-themed events at the fair. “I can only say that we are trying to increase people’s awareness of Chinese literature and get them to read more of it,” he said. Sheringham hopes the Mar- ket Focus events will cause a change of scene, as more and more contemporary works have been translated in the past fi ve years. “Literature is one way for for- eigners to get to know, under- stand and follow what people are experiencing and even thinking in China today. It is a bridge, as well as a cultural pleasure,” he added.

Friction wil l “surely increase” as China and the US both focus on high-end and emerging industries, includ- ing new energy and materi- als, Zhang Xiangchen, direc- tor for trade policy research at the Ministry of Commerce, said. Another official from the ministry also said that a developing trend sees US protectionism shift ing from traditional sectors to emerg- ing ones. “We can forecast that the US will intensify trade inves- tigations against Chinese new-energy exports,” said Yu Benlin, deputy director of the ministry’s bureau of fair trade for imports and exports. Both officials made the remarks on Sunday at a forum marking the opening of the Canton Fair in Guang- zhou. Th e fair, also known as the China Import and Export Fair, is a barometer of the trade sector. Th e US used to accuse Chi- na of giving unfair support to traditional exports such as steel and chemical prod- ucts. But in the past two years Washington has launched a slew of trade investigations targeting China’s new-energy products. Th e US launched an inves- tigation against China’s new- energy policies in 2010 and then started anti-dumping and countervailing investiga- tions against Chinese solar panels and wind towers over the following 16 months, Yu said. This affected exports worth about $3 billion. US protectionism hurts Chinese exporters and indus- tries, Yu said. The US, China’s second- largest trade partner, has launched 73 trade investi- gations against China since 2007. Th is represents about 16 percent of investigations brought against China by other countries, Yu said. Cases launched by the US covered a combined export value of about $10.3 billion. In a fresh sign of rising trade protectionism, the US set up the Interagency Trade Enforcement Center in Feb- ruary to investigate what it called “unfair trade practices” from its major trading part- ners, including China, Yu said. Trade investigations from the US sometimes prompted other nations to follow suit, Yu said. For example, when the US imposed anti-dump- ing duties on Chinese- coated paper in 2006, Brazil, Argen- tina and Th ailand launched similar investigations, which “severely hurt Chinese exporters”. Disputes targeting China will become more frequent, Yu said. William Zarit, minister counselor for commercial aff airs at the US embassy in Beijing, said that the world’s top two economies “need to build trust” to resolve fric- tion, especially in high-end manufacturing. Rising trade protectionism in China’s major exporting destinations has dealt a hard blow to exporters already suf- fering from slowing global demand. China reported GDP growth of 8.1 percent in the first quarter, the slow- est in almost three years as exports and domestic demand cooled, according to data issued on Friday by the National Bureau of Statistics. Th e government set a goal of 10 percent growth in foreign trade this year. Zhong Shan, deputy min- ister of commerce, called for supporting policies on Th urs- day to increase foreign trade while reducing exporters’ burdens and improving the business environment. BEIJING Wen vows to curb corruption Premier Wen Jiabao has promised more resolute measures to curb the abuse of power and combat cor- ruption, in an article to be carried on Monday by an infl uential magazine of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. In its fi nal year of tenure, the government will continue to work for a clean govern- ment, further deepen reforms and improve institution building, according to Wen’s article, to be published by Qiushi, or “Seeking Truth”. Titled “Let Power be Exer- cised Under the Sunshine”, the article dwells on the new achievements of China’s gov- ernmental reform, the fi ght against corruption, the major tasks ahead when tackling corruption in 2012. Heavy rain due in South China Th e National Meteoro- logical Center said on Sunday that heavy rain will hammer South China over the next three days. Regions south of the Yang- tze River and South China will experience heavy rain from Sunday to Tuesday, with some areas seeing rainstorms, the center said in a statement on its website. Meanwhile, a cold front will hit the Inner Mongolia auton- omous region and North and Northeast China over the next three days, bringing strong winds and lowering tem- peratures by up to 12 degrees Celsius, the center said. Christian groups hold congress Th e Chinese mainland- based Young Men’s Christian Association and the Young Women’s Christian Associa- tion held their fi rst national congress in Beijing on Sunday. Th is is the fi rst conven- tion for the two associations since 1949, when the People’s Republic of China was estab- lished. Th e fi rst national council and chairman is expected to be announced for each of the two associations at the con- gress, which will be attended by about 180 representatives and invited guests from across the nation. INNER MONGOLIA Chemical plant blast kills one Firefi ghters on Sunday morning put out a blaze in a chemical plant in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, which killed one person and injured three others. Th e accident happened at about 5 pm on Saturday at the Inner Mongolia 3F Fluo- rochemical plant in the city of Fengzhen. A large volume of fl ammable gas leaked aft er the plant caught fi re and exploded. Firefi ghters rescued three injured workers trapped in the fl ames and evacuated other workers from the building.

By SHAN JUAN shanjuan@chinadaily.com.cn China’s fi rst national can- cer center will be inaugurated within the year to enhance the country’s capacity for pre- vention, early screening and treatment of the disease, said a senior health offi cial. Lei Zhenglong, deputy director of the disease pre- vention and control bureau of the Ministry of Health, made the remarks on Sunday at an event to mark National Cancer Week, which starts on April 15 every year. “The cancer center, to be headquartered at the Cancer Institute and Hospital at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing, will help better guide the government in making policies and taking countermeasures to curb the rising incidence of cancer,” he said. The mainland records about 2.8 million new cancer cases each year, and the num- ber is expected to exceed 3.8 million in a decade, official statistics show. Lung cancer is the most common and also has the highest mortality rate in the country. Proven risk factors for cancer include smoking, an unhealthy diet, obesity, lack of exercise and pollution, experts said. According to Shi Yuankai, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Scienc- es Cancer Hospital, among people between the ages of 30 and 60, cancer has become the leading fatal disease on the mainland and the overall prev- alence is steadily on the rise. The center will assist the Ministry of Health in devising a State-level action plan for cancer intervention, said He Jie, president of the hospital. Historically, cancer wasn’t viewed as much of a prob- lem, given its relatively low incidence in earlier eras, Minister of Health Chen Zhu has said. “But as it has joined the top health challenges facing China, we need to introduce a national road map” to curb it, he said. To provide technical sup- port, “we’ll enhance the coun- try’s cancer registry system to better learn the character- istics of the country’s cancer epidemic”, said He. “Th at will help with more targeted inter- vention eff orts.” Th ere are 195 cancer regis- tries on the mainland, cover- ing about 185 million people, less than 14 percent of the population, offi cial statistics show. As the number of registries increases, more data will be available for decision-makers to introduce more effective measures, he said. Also, the center wi
