Read more on chinadaily. com.cn Defense guideline targets private investment By XIN DINGDING xindingding@chinadaily.com.cn Defense-related industries will open more to private investors in a “fair and safe manner”, according to an invest- ment guideline unveiled on Th ursday. Investors and State-owned defense technology enterprises will be treated equally across the board, including licensing and tax, said the guideline, jointly craft ed by the State Adminis- tration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the General Armament Department of the People’s Liberation Army. The guideline, however, only applies to private investors on the mainland. Investors are encouraged to get involved in weapon development and production, the restructuring of State-owned enterprises as well as developing technology for both military and civilian use. A catalog detailing the weapons private companies can develop and produce is being revised and will be released later. Th e guideline aims to boost com- petition in military procurement and some projects will be submitted for open tender. Th e military budget for 2012 is 670 billion yuan ($105 billion). Th e defense industry is potentially lucrative for investors, especially dur- ing a period of modernization, insid- ers said. Zhang Hanya, chairman of the Investment Association of China, said that private companies have already been involved in certain defense sectors, including the pro- duction of dynamite, clothing and machinery. But private companies face limitations, especially fi nancial, compared with State-owned enter- prise, he said. “Th ese limitations restrict the role of private companies in the defense industry,’’ he said. “Th ey are mostly suppliers of parts and not involved in major projects like their counterparts in the US.’’ Th e new policies are “positive”, but it is still too early to say how private companies can really benefit from them, he said. “We have to wait and see,” he said. Th e government has been gradually opening up defense-related sectors to private companies. Policies supporting private invest- ment in defense were introduced in 2005 and 2010. Th e guideline in 2010 did not set a cap on private investment for a num- ber of key areas, including spacecraft . Th e new guideline reaffi rmed this. It also highlighted security pro- tocols for private investors in relat- ed industries and pledged to boost supervision to safeguard national security. BEIJING Offi cial honors heroes, targets injustice Zhou Yongkang, the country’s top law enforcement offi cial, called for “gallantry and readiness” to fi ght injustice and help the needy. Zhou made the remark at a ceremony on Th ursday honoring “heroic role mod- els” who stood up for social justice. Zhou urged Party offi cials and local governments to boost rewards for “heroic acts” and establish support systems for those who suff er loss or have to make sacrifi ces. Paper calls for rooting out of instability People’s Daily, the fl agship newspaper of the Communist Party of China, denounced on Th ursday “superfi cial and shortsighted ways” of maintaining social stability. It urged authorities to safeguard the people’s interests and root out instability. Authorities in some areas simply wanted results without considering the measures and processes required, leading to potential instability, the newspaper said in a commentary. It also criticized the method of provid- ing “economic benefi ts” to people involved in maintaining stability, describing the solution as “cutting the arrow shaft instead of taking the arrowhead out of the wound’’. Th e commentary came just two days aft er a national conference on maintaining social stability. Scientifi c team enters Arctic Circle A Chinese expedition crossed the Arctic Circle on Wednesday, beginning a 3-month scientifi c exploration of the Arctic Ocean.

Th e 6-year-old panda will soon depart for a Malaysian zoo. around china By ZHAO YINAN zhaoyinan@chinadaily.com.cn As government spending on overseas trips, cars and banquets continues to make headlines, some observers are lobbying lawmakers to clarify the expenditures in the Budget Law. Supporters said the inclusion of clear explanations will help with keeping a closer watch on the government’s wallet. Government spending on overseas trips, car purchases and maintenance, and recep- tions — collectively known as “three expenses” — has been questioned over the amounts involved and lack of transpar- ency. Central government depart- ments spent 9.36 billion yuan ($1.47 billion) last year on the three expenses, and several ministries and departments have exceeded their approved budgets on the items, the Min- istry of Finance said in a report in June. But the report did not give a breakdown of the total cost, such as how many cars the gov- ernment owns or other details of how the money was used. Liu Jiayi, head of the Nation- al Audit Offi ce, said the reason governments did not disclose many details is a lack of agree- ment among officials about what the three expenses are. Although a regulation pub- lished in 2008 has required governments to release annual reports on the three expenses, China’s Budget Law does not specifi cally put forward such a requirement or a request to cut the cost. Shi Zhengwen, fiscal law professor at China University of Political Science and Law, said that because the three expenses are not clearly defi ned in the Budget Law, people hold various understandings of the phrase and of what should be included in the expenses. He also said the lack of standards has enabled govern- ments to put off their obligation to release details of spending on the three expenses and just release a general fi gure. Shi said he has found hope in the latest regulation intro- duced by the State Council that is meant to improve govern- ment management and also address the issue of standard- izing the defi nition of the three expenses. Th e rules, due to take eff ect in October, are the country’s first legal documents that ask governments above the county level to include spending on the three expenses in budgets. It asks governments to regu- larly publish the numbers and types of offi cial vehicles, to set up guidelines for offi cial recep- tions, and to limit the number of offi cials making overseas trips. Ren Xiaolan, a professor at the Law School of Tianjin Uni- versity of Finance and Econom- ics, however, dismissed the idea of writing an explanation of the three expenses into the Budget Law, saying it would not be cost- eff ective. “To clarify what constitutes the three expenses is impor- tant, but not necessarily in the Budget Law, since legislation can be very diffi cult and it usu- ally takes a long time,” she said. Ren suggested instead to include the clarification in a lower-level regulation. C H I N A D A I L Y nation 3F R I D A Y, J U L Y 2 0 , 2 0 1 2 Hu vows more aid for African countries By LI XIAOKUN lixiaokun@chinadaily.com.cn President Hu Jintao on Th ursday proposed measures in five priority areas, includ- ing fi nancial assistance to the African Union’s peacekeeping missions, to boost China’s rela- tions with the continent. The president made the promise when addressing the opening ceremony of the Fift h Ministerial Con- ference of the Forum on China- Africa Coopera- tion, held at the Great Hall of the People in Bei- jing. Experts said the proposal refl ects new trends on the Afri- can continent, including the lasting turmoil that has endan- gered regional development. Among the priorities the president proposed is a com- mitment to “promote peace and stability in Africa and cre- ate a secure environment for Africa’s development”. To that aim, China will launch the “Initiative on Chi- na-Africa Cooperative Part- nership for Peace and Security” and deepen cooperation with the AU and African countries in peace and security, Hu said. China will provide financial support for the AU peacekeep- ing missions and the develop- ment of the African Standby Force, and train more officials in peace and security aff airs and peacekeepers for the AU, he said. China will support the Afri- can integration process, and promote exchanges between the people, media and scholars of China and Africa to “lay a solid foundation of public sup- port” to the relations. Th e president also said Bei- jing will provide a $20 billion credit line to African countries over the next three years. Th e loans will support infra- structure, agriculture, manu- facturing and development of small and medium-sized busi- nesses. In addition, Beijing wi
