Before the election, the CPC Central Committee, which convenes the congress and decides the number of del- egates who will attend, deter- mined that the number of can- didates in the elections should be at least 15 percent more than the number of delegates, and the ratio of delegates from the grassroots, especially workers, should be increased. Th e delegates were elected in 40 electoral units across the country. Th e average age of the delegates is 52, while 64.8 percent of the delegates are under 55. More than 93 percent of the delegates have college degrees or above. Wang Jingqing, deputy head of the Organization Department of the CPC Cen- tral Committee, said that for this congress there are more delegates from the grassroots and young Party members. Of the 2,270 delegates, 30.5 percent come from the grass- roots, up 2.1 percentage points from the previous congress in 2007. Th ere are also 26 migrant workers and four graduate vil- lage offi cers. Olympic champi- on Jiao Liuyang, 21, who won the women’s 200m butterfly event in London, is the young- est delegate.

Mohamed Morsi Birth date: Aug 20, 1951 POLITICAL CAREER • June 30: The fi fth presi- dent of Egypt • 2011 —12: Chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party • 2000-05: Member of Parliament in the People’s Assembly of Egypt ACADEMIC CAREER • 1985-2010: Professor at Zagazig University • 1982-85: Assistant profes- sor at California State University BIOVisits highlight Cairo foreign policy change By QIN ZHONGWEI qinzhongwei@chinadaily.com.cn With visits to China, Iran and the United States on the horizon, the Egyptian presi- dent is indicating that these are changing times for his coun- try’s foreign policy, analysts said. E g y p t i a n P r e s i d e n t Mohamed Morsi will start a three-day visit to China on Tuesday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Hong Lei said on Wednesday. It is the first visit by Morsi to a country outside the Mid- dle East and Africa since he assumed offi ce in June. Economic cooperation will be high on the agenda as the Egyptian economy, heav- ily dependent on tourism, was particularly hard hit dur- ing recent political turmoil, according to He Wenping, an expert on the Middle East and African studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. “The world is turning to Asia, as Europe is still plagued by its debt crisis, and Egypt is no exception,” she said. Morsi realizes the impor- tance of economic growth, she added. The turmoil in Syria, and Middle East aff airs in general, will also be discussed during Morsi’s Beijing visit, Ye Hailin, a commentator on Middle East aff airs, said. Aft er visiting China, Morsi will attend the Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Teheran on Th ursday, the fi rst Egyptian leader to visit Iran in 30 years. He will also attend the UN General Assembly session in New York on Sept 23. Morsi is adjusting the gov- ernment’s pro-US foreign policy, established under his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, He said. Cairo is now trying to diversify its foreign policy and establish relations with a broader range of countries, she said. “Egypt is honoring the Camp David Accords, ensuring that it gets US aid but is also in con- tact with Iran which is under US sanctions,” she said. “Morsi is recalibrating Cairo- Washington ties,” she added. Morsi took offi ce on June 30 aft er protests last year toppled Mubarak. He visited Saudi Arabia in July on his fi rst foreign trip, fol- lowed by a visit to Ethiopia. SEE “VISITS” PAGE 2 ‘Food will cost more’ due to US drought Basic supplies safe but oil and pork prices to rise, expert says By LI JIABAO and CHENG GUANGJIN The US drought will not endanger domestic food secu- rity but it is almost certain to result in costlier cooking oil and pork, experts said. The drought, the worst in more than 50 years, will affect China but not to the extent that basic food sup- plies are threatened, Zhai Jianglin, vice-president of the Academy of Science and Technology at the State Administration of Grain, told China Daily on Th ursday. There is no indication of any need for the government to stabilize the market with strategic reserves of oil-bearing grains, he said. But he declined to comment on whether Beijing will use reserves in the following months. Price hikes for soybean and corn in the international mar- kets will aff ect domestic prices because of imports. But “for other grains, such as rice and wheat, China has sufficient domestic supplies and will not easily be aff ected”, he said. Zhang Zhongjun, assistant representative of the UN Food and Agriculture Organiza- tion in China, said imports account for around 80 percent of the country’s soybean sup- plies. But, Zhang added, domes- tic grain supplies are adequate and there is even a substantial reserve program. While corn prices will rise, China imports just 5 percent of its supplies, Wang Ruiyuan, vice-president of the Chinese Cereals and Oils Association, said. Huang Guiheng, manager of Bric Global Agricultural Consultants, added that the US drought has already driven up domestic soybean prices signifi cantly, as half of China’s annual soybean imports are from the US. Th e price of imported soy- beans rose from 4,350 yuan ($685) per metric ton in April to 4,700 yuan in August. “Th e global soybean price rise is unlikely to end until we fi nd out more about the South American planting in Novem- ber,” he said. China imported 34.92 mil- lion tons of soybean in the fi rst seven months of this year, an increase of 20.1 percent from a year earlier, according to the General Administration of Customs. China imported 52.64 mil- lion tons of soybeans in 2011. Agricultural specialists fore- cast that imports in 2012 will range between 55 million and 57 million tons. Huang said that domestic soybean production will be around 9.8 million tons this year, against 10 million tons in 2011. Th e rise in the price of soy- bean is not an isolated event. It will also push up the price of cooking oil and increase feed costs for pig farmers. Consequently, pork prices might rise in the fourth quar- ter as could the consumer price index, a main gauge of infl ation, Huang said. Th e National Development and Reform Commission recently talked with fi ve major edible oil suppliers, including COFCO and Yihai Kerry, to ask them to hold back price rises, media reports said.

Li Xueqin, head of the research division under the Communist Party of China’s Central Commission for Dis- cipline Inspection, made the remarks in a recent interview in which he discussed the anti-corruption eff orts made in the 20 years since the Party declared a war on corruption in 1993. Li said that “stand-off ” sta- tus is the best description of the overall situation. Li said China faces grim challenges in fi ghting corrup- tion. He said for every achieve- ment, problems still exist, and while it is an impossible task to eliminate corruption in the short term, there is increasing pressure from the public to stamp out the practice. Li said the focus of the 1993 mission has changed over the years from fi ghting corrup- tion to preventing it. In the fi rst 10 years of the mission, the strategy was to curb the rising trend of cor- ruption, and the main tasks were upholding leaders’ integrity and investigating cases. In the past 10 years, howev- er, the main focus has shift ed to prevention, and to eradi- cating the roots of the crime, according to Li. Li said legal frameworks and international coopera- tion has improved in the past fi ve years. More than 50 laws and regulations have been formulated to help fi ght cor- ruption during that time. And a group of fugitives suspected of corruption, including Lai Changxing who had been at large for 12 years in Canada, have been repa- triated, a sign that runaway suspects have few chances of escape, Li added. More than 60 officials at ministerial and provin- cial levels were among the 600,000 people who have been punished for violating Party and government rules since the 17th CPC National Congress was held in 2007, according to a report of the Central Commission for Dis- cipline Inspection. Th e Transparency Inter- national based in Berlin last year elevated China to 75th place among 183 countries and regions on a transpar- ency index. The achievement came amid the importance that senior leaders of the Party have placed on fi ghting cor- ruption. President Hu Jintao has warned that corruption was one of the growing dangers that confront the Party and it has become more important and urgent for the Party to discipline itself and impose strict rules on its members. He Guoqiang, head of the commission, said on Tuesday that fi ghting corruption and promoting integrity would provide a “solid guarantee” to the positive development of the Party and the country. He asked the Party to improve its system of pun- ishment and prevention of corruption in order to ensure the country remains corrup- tion free today and in the years ahead. Li predicted that a key tran- sitional period is coming. “We’ll completely, rather than partly, contain the cor- ruption issue. And the issue will go from a vulnerable stage to a manageable stage. “I think the three most prominent problems are: the large number of corrup- tion cases involving offi cials in high positions; the large amount of money in the cas- es; and the large number of ‘heads’ that are nabbed.” Li summarized that the root cause of the problem is ineffective supervision and weak counterbalance of gov- ernment power, and rectify- ing these issues will be the key to fi ghting corruption in the future.

BEIJING Low-altitude airspace to open China will relax the ban on the use of low-altitude airspace across the country starting in 2013, the country’s air traffi c authorities said on Th ursday. A series of reforms will be implemented in fi ve to 10 years, creating an independent airspace market under government guid- ance, said Zhu Shicai, an offi cial with the State Air Traffi c Control Commission. China has launched pilot proj- ects in its northeastern, southern and central regions, as well as seven pilot cities, to open airspace below 1,000 meters to general aviation fl ights. Police crack counterfeit cases Police have resolved 185,000 criminal cases during a one-year sweep of counterfeit and sub- standard food and drugs, the Ministry of Public Security said on Th ursday. A total of 147,000 underground facilities, which manufacture and trade inferior food and drugs, have been discovered since August 2011. Police also investigated cases centering on “gutter oil” or repro- cessed cooking oil. Police shut down manufacturers of this illegal oil, cutting out channels for the cooking liquid to enter the market. CHONGQING Robbery survivor dies in hospital A man who was injured by serial killer Zhou Kehua during an armed robbery of a bank in Chongqing has died in hospital, a local hospital confi rmed on Th ursday. Doctors with the Chongqing Xinqiao Hospital said the victim, whose surname is Liao, died of multiple organ failure on Wednes- day noon. He had been one of two survivors of the Aug 10 shooting. During the robbery, Zhou shot three people — killing one on the spot — while customers were withdrawing money at a Bank of China branch. Th e serial killer, who was shot dead by police in Chongqing on Aug 14, killed 11 people in several armed robberies since 2004.

HUNAN 23 injured in truck-bus collision Twenty-three people were injured when a truck collided with a bus on Th ursday morning in Central China’s Hunan province, local authorities said. Th e accident occurred at around 7:40 am in the city of Hengyang, leaving the drivers of both vehicles seriously injured, said the municipal rescuers. Th e road was slippery from rain and both vehicles were traveling at high speeds — two factors contrib- uting to the accident, rescuers said. All the injured were being treated at hospital. Most o
