China's Ministry of Public Security has unveiled measures to fight online crime.
The ministry says Chinese Internet users easily fall victim to cyber-attack, Internet fraud, personal information leakage and other online crimes, which pose a big threat to national security and social stability.
The ministry has vowed to increase cooperation with the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to prevent hacking and ensure data security.
It will also improve surveillance by cyber police to curb illegal activities.
The ministry says it will harshly crack down on pornography, rumors or information about terrorism, guns or drugs.

China will build a comprehensive network to detect pollution of the land, sea and air by 2020, employing satellites, drones and remote sensors to monitor the environment.
The national leadership approved the network plan in July, saying the government will lead the monitoring, share information among departments and regions, and be held accountable if violations are found.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection says satellites, a major tool for monitoring air pollution, will receive a boost this year. The ministry says it will accelerate research on two atmospheric environmental monitoring satellites and two satellites with higher resolution than those currently available.
The ministry will improve a remote sensor network, which is scheduled to be released at the end of this year.
Remote monitoring has played a bigger role in locating pollution sources. Drones helped authorities locate polluted areas in the Tengger Desert in northern China and identify scattered summer straw burnings.

A public hospital in Beijing has agreed to allow a state-owned company to franchise their name and open a new hospital.
Beijing Anzhen Hospital has signed a cooperative agreement with China Orient Asset Management Corporation to establish a comprehensive hospital
The franchise means that China Orient Asset Management Corporation will be able to use Anzhen Hospital's name on the new branch, while funding the new hospital.
Beijing Anzhen Hospital will ensure the quality of medical services at the new hospital by dispatching doctors and management teams. Orient Asset Management will pay for the service and management provided by the hospital.
The move is expected to reduce the government's financial burden.
Beijing began welcoming private investment into the public sector in 2013, encouraging social capital in transportation, parking facilities, medical and elderly facilities.
Local authorities will supervise the companies who are involved in public sectors and control the risks.

The use of English is expanding in workplaces across China.
According to the Chinese recruiting website 51job.com, multinational companies still top the workplaces at which English is needed. Almost 80 percent of employees who work for such companies said they use English on the job.
But the recruiter also found growing use of English in unexpected places. More than 47 percent of employees at State-owned enterprises, for example, said they use English at work.
Thirty-three-year-old Zhang Meng, an online game analyst who lives in Beijing, said he needs to use more English as his company is expanding its business to the United States and Europe.
The online survey, which polled 2,000 workers, also found that more job seekers would like to apply for positions requiring English-language skills at work. This was especially true for those with bachelor's and master's degrees.
Nearly 62 percent of respondents said they would like to choose jobs that need English skills. However, language skills do not necessarily guarantee the promotions and high salaries they once did.
While more than 84 percent of respondents from first-tier cities said work promotions could be affected by English skills, 51job.com also attributed promotions to location and opportunities.

Archeologists in northeast China have begun an underwater investigation in the Yellow Sea to learn more about a war ship sunken by the Japanese navy during the first Sino-Japanese War 120 years ago.
The investigation was launched in Dandong City, Liaoning Province, where the warship was found during an underwater exploration for port construction last year.
Coded "Dandong No. 1", the still intact 50-meter hull is located 10 nautical miles southwest of Dandong Port. The inside of the ship has been badly damaged.
Archeologists have concluded the 1,600-tonne vessel is one of the four warships of the Beiyang Fleet, the imperial marine forces of the Qing Dynasty government. Beiyang Fleet was destroyed by the Japanese navy in the "Battle in the Yellow Sea" in 1894.
The four ships were China's most modern vessels. They were bigger and better armed than the Japanese fleet, but were slower and lacked ammunition.

China has exported more than 40 classical gardens from Suzhou, home of "China's English gardens", to 30 or more countries and regions.
The gardens first went global in 1979 when Chinese horticulturists and architects were commissioned to build the Ming Xuan, or Astor Court, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Although occupying only an area of some 400 square meters, the Court featured the quintessence of Suzhou gardens from zigzag corridors to carefully-cultivated rock structures and water features.
The classical gardens of Suzhou originated from the eastern city in Jiangsu Province, and later became an aesthetic genre of classical Chinese landscape architecture.
Shortly after the Ming Xuan debuted, several others appeared. Among the more famous are the Ruisu Garden at the Geneva-based headquarters of the World Trade Organization, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance at the Huntington Library in the U.S., and the Yili Garden in outskirts of Paris.
