| Natural World: Himalayas (BBC) Posted: 26 Oct 2012 07:29 PM PDT | Narrated by Sir David Attenborough. This nature documentary looks at the wildlife of the most stunning mountain range in the world, home to snow leopards, Himalayan wolves and Tibetan bears. Snow leopards stalk their prey among the highest peaks. Concealed by snowfall, the chase is watched by golden eagles circling above. On the harsh plains of the Tibetan plateau live extraordinary bears and square-faced foxes hunting small rodents to survive. In the alpine forests, dancing pheasants have even influenced rival border guards in their ritualistic displays. Valleys carved by glacial waters lead to hillsides covered by paddy fields containing the lifeline to the East, rice. In this world of extremes, the Himalayas reveal not only snow-capped mountains and fascinating animals but also a vital lifeline for humanity. The Himalayas, also Himalaya, (Sanskrit, hima (snow) + ālaya (dwelling), literally, "abode of the snow") is a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. The Himalayan range is home to some of the planet's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over a hundred mountains exceeding 7200 metres (23600 ft) in height. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia—Aconcagua, in the Andes— is 6961 metres (22838 ft) tall. The Himalayan range, which consists of three parallel sub-ranges, abuts or crosses five countries: Bhutan, India, Nepal, People's Republic of China, and Pakistan, with <b>...</b> | Views: 55188 215 ratings | | Time: 58:17 | More in Pets & Animals |

For the first time, more than half of the 70 seats on the governing legislative council will be directly elected. Universal suffrage needs the support of more than half the members of the legislative council. The poll comes a day after Hong Kong's chief executive, Leung Chun-ying, scrapped plans for compulsory Chinese patriotism lessons in schools. The BBC's Juliana Liu says that China's relationship with Hong Kong is very much the focus of the elections. | Views: 13 0 ratings | | Time: 00:53 | More in News & Politics |

| Exchanging Views Is Censored in China but not Firearms and Drugs Posted: 05 Jan 2013 04:13 AM PST | Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com Chinese National People's Congress Standing Committee passed the draft of the implementation of the "Internet real-name system". The world foresees the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) adding to its action in order to restrict online freedom of information. Foreign media reporters said that most foreign media are blocked. Every day millions of censors delete online contents regarding human rights. However, countless sites of drugs, guns or prostitution are not being blocked. Foreign media correspondents find this very strange. Let's look at the reports. The New York Times reported you can buy methamphetamine, ecstasy or cocaine for $50 or $100 via the Internet in China. Some sites claim to provide 24-hour home delivery service, with long-term and stable supply. Just making a phone call, one can receive the drugs within one to five hours. Services cover hundreds of cities in China. Similarly, one can find commercial websites selling guns; the Springfield-type 9 mm pistol, Chinese military 54-style semi-automatic pistols, rifles, and even silencers! The report also said that the Chinese Internet is filled with pornography, prostitution and even the "date rape drug." Their open trafficking online chills one's bones. The report also pointed out that all those activities are illegal in China, narcotics smugglers usually get death sentence. But authorities do not focus on that, so these sites have not been <b>...</b> | Views: 146 2 ratings | | Time: 04:19 | More in News & Politics |

| China's new bullet train is world's fastest, smashes record Posted: 31 Dec 2012 11:30 AM PST | "Bigger, better faster" is a perhaps the most apt way to describe China's ambitious approach to revamping its infrastructure. For instance, the world's second largest economy boasts the two longest bridges in the world, including the world's longest seabridge unveiled back in July. And while the country is already home to the world's fastest passenger trains, they're recently shown that they're still working hard to outdo even themselves. Over the weekend, local train manufacturer CSR Corp successfully completed a trial run of their fastest train yet. China Daily reported that the test train reached a world record-breaking speed of 311 mph. Previously, the title of fastest passenger train was held by the Beijing Shanghai High Speed Railway, which operated at a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour. The shape of the train is designed to aerodynamically cut through drag like a knife — literally. Stretching six carriages long, the front end is tapered to a fine point, similar to sharp edge of an ancient Chinese sword. It's powered by a system capable of 22800 kilowatts and is comprised of lightweight plastic material, magnesium alloy and reinforced with carbon fiber. In comparison, China Railways High-Speed (CRH) trains run at 9600 kilowatts. The test run also shows that Chinese officials have remained undaunted by a series of setbacks that bring into question the safety of moving passengers at such high velocity. In July, two bullet trains ran into each other in the Zhejiang <b>...</b> | Views: 870 3 ratings | | Time: 05:01 | More in Autos & Vehicles |

| Corbett: Flying Towards War? Drone Race Signals Escalationin China-Japan Standoff Posted: 14 Jan 2013 01:41 PM PST | The development and acquisition of drones has become crucial to the ever-expanding arms race between China and Japan, as tensions over disputed islands in the East China Sea could soon reach boiling point. Weaknesses in Japan's surveillance capability and the ongoing territorial dispute over the Senkaku islands, known as the Diaoyu in China, have spurred Tokyo to purchase an advanced drone model from the US. Japan's vulnerability was highlighted late last year when Japanese radar failed to detect a low-flying Chinese aircraft passing over the group of disputed islands. The drones will seemingly be deployed "to counter China's growing assertiveness at sea, especially when it comes to the Senkaku islands," the Kyodo news agency quoted an unnamed defense ministry official as saying. Japanese concerns that the islands will be used by China as a prelude to testing regional power balances, prompted Japan's Defense Ministry to request $2.4 billion dollars from hawkish Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose conservative government swept to power on December 26. The funds will be used for extra PAC-3 missile interceptors and upgrades for F-15 fighter planes, Bloomberg cites a document distributed by the ministry as saying. Japan has further decided to increase overall defense spending to some $54.3 billion, the first defense hike in a decade. Abe further promised on the campaign trail to bulk up the country's army and coast guard.

| Build-up-to-WW3-Hilary-Clinton--RUSSIA-n-CHINA-will-Pay-the-Price-for-Supporting-ASSAD Posted: 03 Jan 2013 04:29 AM PST | Build up to WW3 - Hilary Clinton: RUSSIA & CHINA will Pay the Price for Supporting ASSAD Russia rejects in the strongest possible terms allegations that it supports President Assad in the Syrian conflict. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Moscow and Beijing must 'pay a price' for backing Assad. "I do not believe that Russia and China are paying any price at all -- nothing at all -- for standing up on behalf of the Assad regime. The only way that will change is if every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that Russia and China will pay a price," Clinton warned. Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said the west is operating within a friend-or-foe framework that he called outmoded. "We categorically reject that such a question would even be posed regarding the current situation in Syria and Russia's 'backing' of President Bashar Assad. This is not a question of supporting certain political figures or leaders. This is a question of managing a crisis situation in the country within a normal political framework," Ryabkov said. "Unfortunately, we're unable to get a basic understanding from our western partners. The west is still appealing to "friend-or-foe" terms. We considered such terminology to be a thing of the past," Ryabkov explained. Russia and China once again opted not to attend the "Friends of Syria" meeting. Neither Moscow nor Beijing believe the meeting in the French capital will be helpful in uniting the Syrian <b>...</b> | Views: 460 4 ratings | | Time: 07:48 | More in News & Politics |
