In 2017 the institute’s bioethics review committee
n evaluated and approved the experiment before applying for National Natural Scie
nce Foundation of China funds, with the project gaining the foundation’s support.
“Experimenting on nonhuman primate models to research the brain’s cognitive function, de
velopment and related diseases have great scientific and medical values,” the statement said.
“For research purposes, there are precedents of scientists implanting human genes int
o lab animals such as mice, rats, and macaque monkeys, and these researchers have made great con
tributions to understanding life, disease mechanisms and clinical drug development.”
In 2008 US scientists implanted macaque monkeys with Huntington’s disease to further understand the condition and possib
ly identify a new form of treatment, with the project’s findings published in the journal Nature.
In 2009 Japanese scientists created the world’s first transgenic primates
and bred monkeys with a gene that made the animals’ skin glow a fluorescent green.
to ease permanent residency requirements in large cities
China said Monday it will ease the requirements for permanent residency in many large cities as part of its new urbanization push.
Restrictions on permanent residence permits should be scrapped in cities with populations betw
een 1 million and 3 million, according to a document outlining key urbanization tasks this year release
d by the National Development and Reform Commission, the country’s top economic planner.
For cities with populations of 3 million to 5 million, the qualifications for such permits should be “fully relaxed,” and the restrict
ions for certain key groups of people to get such permits should be removed, the document said.
Previously, the country has already gradually abolished permanent residency r
estrictions in small and medium-sized cities and towns with populations below 1 million.
The NDRC document also demanded cities with populations abo
ve 5 million to improve their policies and drastically expand the scale of permanent residency.
Besides, most of the steel firms in the region still
use blast furnaces that are more polluting than electric furnaces, which res
ults in huge energy consumption and pollution discharge burdens, according to Lyu.
To better protect the environment, it is not enough to relocate the production capacity f
rom one place to another within a province as some local governments have done, he added.
Lyu made the remarks at the 2019 China Iron and Steel Develo
pment Forum, which was jointly held by the China Metallurgical Industry Planning & Res
earch Institute and the Chinese Academy of Engineering in Beijing over the weekend.
Since 2016, China has made remarkable progress in reducing overcapacity in the sector, fulfilling th
e upper overcapacity reduction goals for the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) two years in advance. The util
ization rate of crude steel capacity has risen from 70 percent in 2015 to more than 80 percent now, according to Lyu.
Detailed analysis of the fragment indicated that the
bird’s reproductive system was not behaving normally. The eggshell consists of two layers instea
d of one as in normal, healthy bird eggs, indicating the egg was retained too long inside the abdomen, Bailleul said.
This condition occurs in living birds as a result of stress. Unlaid eggs may be coated with a second laye
r, or sometimes more, of shell. This abnormality has also been documented in sauropod dinosaurs, and in fossil and living turtles.
In addition, the eggshell was extremely thin, thinner than a sheet of paper, and did not have the proportions of a healthy egg, Bailleul said.
hina’s civil aviation regulator has temporarily stopped issuing airworthine
ss certificates for Boeing 737 Max 8s because of safety concerns, a move an expert said will bring huge economic losses to Boeing.
Two Boeing 737 MAX 8s have crashed in the last five months. All 157 pa
ssengers and crew members of a 737 MAX 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines died on Mar 10, includi
ng eight Chinese nationals. In October, the same model of plane, operated by Lion Air, went down over the Java Sea, killing 189.
The suspect fired his gun and struck one of the officers
in the vest. A second officer fired back and hit the suspect, Splinter said.
Both the officer and the suspect were transported to a local hospital, and the officer was treated and released. The suspect is listed in critical condition.
Police said that per their policy, the identities of the officers involved will be released after 48 hours.
The incident brings to mind the movie “Ocean’s Eleven.” In the film, Danny Ocea
n (Clooney), Pitt and other accomplices plan a heist on several casinos, including the Bellagio.
Parts of Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska are grappling with the aftermath of a powerful “bomb
cyclone” that turned some areas into swamps as rivers spilled over highways and residential areas.
The “bomb cyclone” slammed the central US with hurricane-like w
inds and blizzard conditions this week, leaving in its tracks heavy rains and flooding.
In a news conference Friday, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts said the state has experienced historic flooding in nearly every region.
Barack Obama: “We grieve with you and the Muslim community”
At least 49 people were killed and 20 seriously injured in two mass shootings at mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch.
The victims: Forty-one people were killed at the al Noor mosque. Seven people died at the Linwood mosque, and one person died from their injuries in hospital.
The suspect: Police said a male in his late 20s has been charged with murder and will appear at the Christchurch court Saturday morning local time.
The manifesto: In a social media post just before the attack, an account that is believed to belong to one of the attackers posted a l
ink to an 87-page manifesto that was filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim ideas and explanations for an attack. The manifesto was not signed.
National security advisor John Bolton expanded upon the White House’s statement on the
attack on New Zealand mosques, which he characterized as “what seems to be a terrorist attack” and a “hate crime.”
Bolton said the US is “very concerned” and is following the events “very closely.”
He told reporters Friday morning:
“We’re obviously greatly disturbed on what seems to be a terror attack, this hate crime in New Zealand. We’ve been in touch
with our embassy overnight, we’re still getting details, but the State Department and others are following up on it.”
Bolton continued, “We’re very concerned, we’re going to cooperate with New Zealand authori
ties to the extent we can if there’s any role we can play, but we’re obviously following the events there very closely.”
It’s all about Huawei. World’s biggest mobile tech show g
Over the next four days, about 100,000 people in Barcelona are expected to traipse through the halls of Mobile Worl
d Congress, one of the tech industry’s biggest events. All the biggest players in the world use it to showcase new products.
One company really stands out this year: China’s Huawei. Walking
out of the Barcelona airport, there’s a Huawei hospitality stand. The company’s bran
ding dots the city. The lanyards conference attendees wear around their necks are decorated with the Huawei name.
There’s a good reason everyone is focused on Huawei, one of the world’s largest makers of telecom equipment.
Huawei is a crucial part of China’s efforts to advance superfast 5G wir
eless networks and today is caught in a life or death battle with the US government.
The United States claims that Huawei poses a potential national security threat. Last month, US prosecutors revealed cri
minal charges against the company, alleging that Huawei stole trade secrets and worked to skirt US sanctions on Iran.
delivery people consider their job ‘promising’ Surveyter tra
BEIJING – A recent survey by China’s State Post Bureau said 35.8 percent of delivery workers c
onsidered their occupation “promising” and would like to continue in that position.
The survey consisted of 6,000 delivery people across China mostly born in the 1980s and 1990s.
About 76 percent of the delivery workers are from rural areas, wh
ile nearly 16 percent are from towns or counties, according to the survey.
Major sources of stress for delivery workers include low wages and insufficient benefits, lack of understanding of t
heir job from customers and the public, long working hours and little chances of promotion, the survey said.
Most of those surveyed earn less than 5,000 yuan ($743) per month but gen
erally gain more during the annual Double 11 online shopping spree in No
vember, during which over 80 percent of the country’s delivery workers handle more than 200 packages per day.
China’s express delivery industry is rapidly developing, with around 3 million delivery workers.
”Delivery worker” was added to the revision of the national occupation list of China in 2015, meaning it has been recognized by the state as an occupation.
