In a bid to emulate the suc- cess of Yao Ming in basket- ball, Li Na in tennis and Ding Junhui in snooker, China’s golfing authorities have for years been seeking a female Tiger Woods to boost the development of the sport ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and expand the country’s presence on the world’s major platforms. An increasing number of women’s tours are organized every year in China, extra money is being invested at the grassroots level and more kids are being sent abroad to train and compete. Th ose moves appear to have paid off aft er 22-year-old Feng Shanshan, a native of Guang- dong province who began playing the sport 12 years ago, hit the headlines by becoming the fi rst golfer from the Chi- nese mainland to win a major title by capturing the LPGA Championship. Now, people have a reason to expect Feng, who arrived in the United States as a teen- ager before joining the Ladies Professional Golf Association in 2008, to keep progressing and make an impact similar to that of Yao, Li and Ding in their chosen fi elds. “Th is victory can never have the same eff ect as that made by Li Na in the French Open last year, but it’s a huge step for- ward for women’s golf in Chi- na,” Feng said. “I hope this win will help people understand more about golf in China.” SEE “GOLF” PAGE 6 Consumer spending to get boost By DING QINGFEN dingqingfen@chinadaily.com.cn China will roll out “con- crete measures” to stimulate consumption by boosting effi - ciency and slashing the cost of logistics, said Huang Hai, former assistant minister of commerce. Th e moves, to be announced at the national circulation con- ference in late June or early July that will focus on the move- ment of goods, are part of eff orts to prevent the economy from slowing further amid the deepening crisis in Europe. The conference aims to address supply chain issues concerning logistics and trans- portation. Getting goods to the market quicker and cheaper will be a key factor in boosting consumer spending. “More than 20 ministries and departments, led by the Ministry of Commerce, are ready for the two-day confer- ence, a strategically important conference for the government this year,” Huang said. A draft of a document detail- ing measures on improving effi ciency, reducing logistical costs and increasing consumer spending is awaiting govern- ment approval, Huang said. The conference, originally set for May, was moved back as the government and Pre- mier Wen Jiabao “attach great importance to it and expect to issue substantial policies” dur- ing it, said Huang, who helped draft the document. SEE “LOGISTICS” PAGE 2 China ‘plays constructive role’ in G20 President urges leaders at summit to continue supporting Europe By WU JIAO in Los Cabos and ZHOU WA in Beijing Th e latest capital contribution to the International Monetary Fund will enhance the organiza- tion’s ability to tackle the Euro- pean debt crisis and increase the say of emerging economies, analysts said. China announced on Mon- day that it will contribute $43 billion to the $430 billion boost to the IMF. Th e contribution can be used by all IMF members, the Peo- ple’s Bank of China, the central bank, said in a statement on Tuesday. President Hu Jintao, address- ing the G20 Summit on Mon- day in the Mexican resort of Los Cabos, said that China supports increasing the resources of the IMF and enhancing its ability to tackle the crisis and provide emergency assistance. Hu also called on the group to continue supporting Europe “in a constructive and coopera- tive way”. Th e fi nancial contribution is “a positive thing”, and EU coun- tries will welcome the decision, the EU ambassador to China, Markus Ederer, said on Tues- day at a speech at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing. China has been playing “a constructive role” in support- ing the EU to tackle the crisis, Ederer said. “ I f C h i n a expresses con- fidence in the eurozone, it is a very important signal to the market.’’ But Ederer emphasized the support from the IMF is “the second line of defense”, as he stressed the EU’s own respon- sibilities. G20 fi nance chiefs agreed in April to increase the fi nancial fi repower of the IMF by more than $430 billion. Th e IMF said that it will tap the new resources to shield the global economy from the Euro- pean debt crisis only if it uses up its existing resources. One of the IMF’s principles is that “the more you contrib- ute, the more rights and inter- ests you share”, and China’s increased investment in the IMF will give it extra clout, said Xiong Hou, a researcher in the institute of European studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. But in comparison to devel- oped countries, China’s IMF share is still relatively small, Xiong added. Th e approach by the US and other developed countries in not boosting IMF resources does not match their economic strength, according to Jia Xiu- guo, an expert on international aff airs with the China Institute of International Studies. “It is inconsistent with Washington’s responsibility to the IMF,” Jia said. China’s decision to boost IMF resources, rather than give direct loans to European coun- tries, is a good way to use its large foreign exchange reserves, said Wang Yizhou, an expert on the global economy and poli- tics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Th e G20 Summit in London in 2009 agreed on a $500 billion increase in IMF resources and China invested $50 billion.

Zhao Ping, a consumption specialist from the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation under the Ministry of Com- merce, told China Daily that major problems facing logistics include “diffi culties in fi nanc- ing and limited networks and infrastructure”. “Relevant policies will prob- ably center on expanding fi scal expenditure and reducing taxes and fees in different logistical sectors,” she said. “They could include easier access to fi nancing, preferential policies for small and medium- sized enterprises, expanding logistical networks, reducing fees and providing subsidies for expanding storage capacity.” Expenditure on logistics, including transport, storage and management fees, has risen rapidly. Logistical costs, as part of the nation’s GDP in 2010, reached 17.8 percent, accord- ing to the National Bureau of Statistics. Th at was higher than the 10 percent average in developed nations. Th e cost of moving goods to the market added to domestic consumer prices, and this has dampened consumer confi- dence. It is obvious that reducing costs passed on to the consum- er will increase consumption, Zhao said. “Th is is an effi cient way to stimulate domestic con- sumption.” The government recently launched a series of policies to promote consumer spending. It pledged last month to allo- cate 26.5 billion yuan ($4.2 bil- lion) to subsidize purchases of energy-saving household appli- ances and 6 billion yuan to boost sales of energy-effi cient vehicles. Th e Ministry of Finance said on June 5 China is off ering sub- sidies up to 400 yuan per unit to buyers of energy-saving water heaters, refrigerators and wash- ing machines. More measures are under way, and some will be released during the coming conference, Huang said. “It’s not a problem of whether to stimulate domes- tic consumption or not, but a problem of how to do it and in which sectors,” he said. He also told China Daily that purchases of furniture and affordable homes are next on the list. China has stepped up eff orts to build 36 million units of aff ordable housing by 2015. The government recently lowered interest rates by 25 basis points. Economists predicted economic growth is expected to accelerate in the third quarter as policy easing takes off . Huang said that stimulat- ing domestic consumption is a more direct way to boost the economy than a stimulus plan. Wen said recently that the government will implement fi scal policy to bolster growth, prompting economists to fore- cast stimulus spending.

Th e National Human Rights Action Plan of China (2012-15), published by the State Council Information Offi ce, provides guidelines in goals, missions and measures to respect and guarantee human rights and to enable every citizen to live with dignity. Under the plan, all rights are guaranteed by law in lawsuits and law enforcement, and it pledges that no one will be forced to incriminate himself. Steps will be taken to prevent gaining confessions by torture and collecting evidence through illegal methods. Prosecuting authorities will pay greater attention to the self-defense of criminal suspects at the stage of approval for arrest, and should carry out an interview if a criminal suspect requests one. In addition, the action plan also includes economic, social and cultural rights, civil and political rights and human rights educa- tion. Language festival promotes learning An Internet survey on “the top 10 changes in the past decade” started on Saturday to mark the 10th anniversary of the Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Pro- gram. Residents in the capital who are willing to participate in the survey, which will last through Sept 16, can visit the website of Beijing Foreign Language Radio am774. com to choose from more than 50 candidates. Participants will have the opportunity to win awards. Over the weekend, the Beijing Foreign Language Festival 2012 was held at Chaoyang Park. Th e two-day festival was held to encourage people in the capital to get involved in learning foreign languages. Following up on the festival, seven departments of the Beijing municipal government, 13 dis- tricts and counties and several universities, including Commu- nication University of China and Capital Normal University, will also hold foreign language activi- ties. Rules tightened for new drivers New drivers who have had their licenses for less than one year will need to have drivers with at least three years of experience with them when traveling on express- ways, the Ministry of Public Secu- rity said on June 19. Th e traffi c management bureau under the ministry said that new measures would see traffi c police strengthen control measures, mainly in the exits and entrances to freeways. Th e revised draft would increase the punishment for inten- tionally covering license plates, even with paper or leaves, the ministry said. At present, the ministry is active- ly collecting opinions on the new regulations from local regions.
