A senior central government representative in Hong Kong says advocating "Hong Kong independence" is unconstitutional, not a matter of freedom of speech.
A group of people in Hong Kong have set up a political group aiming for the city's independence.
Liaison director Zhang Xiaoming says the declaration has gone far beyond freedom of speech, and has touched the bottom line of the principle of 'one country, two systems.'
He adds that the Chinese government can never tolerate this declaration even with the impossibility of its materialization.
Earlier this week, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office voiced resolute opposition to the group advocating Hong Kong independence.
The office says this undermines national sovereignty and security and jeopardizes Hong Kong's stability.
Train trips in China are expected to exceed 41 million during the four-day travel rush for Tomb-sweeping Day.
Railway authority says the number would be an increase of 12 percent compared to the corresponding period last year.
The travel peak will occur on Saturday, the second day of the travel rush, when train travel could reach 12 million.
Railway authorities have temporarily prolonged the operating time for online ticketing systems.
In the meantime, the country's expressway network is also faced with great pressure.
Expressways in populous areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, are packed with vehicles heading to cemeteries or scenic spots.
Qingming Festival, or Tomb Sweeping Day, is traditionally a time for honoring ancestors and the deceased. It falls on April 4th this year.
The United Nations Security Council is to deal with issues related to Syria, Yemen and the Middle East under China's rotating presidency in April.
China's permanent representative to the UN, Liu Jieyi, says the council will look at three aspects of the Syrian issue, including the political process, chemical weapons and humanitarian access.
He also says the discussions will help move the talks on Yemen forward, and improve conditions for the implementation of the ceasefire that has been agreed upon.
April will also see three open debates on the Middle East, counter-terrorism and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.
South African President Jacob Zuma pledged to abide by a Constitutional Court ruling, ordering him to pay back millions of dollars in state spending on his private home.
During a televised speech, Zuma said he had acted in good faith.
The scandal has fueled concerns about alleged corruption at the highest levels of government as well as opposition calls for the president to resign.
Impeachment would require a two-thirds majority in a parliament where Zuma's ruling African National Congress party has a comfortable majority.
It's being reported that North Korea has test-fired a new-type of guided rocket under the observation of its top leader Kim Jong Un.
Media reports say the rockets struck an aerial target of a simulated enemy.
Reports also say Kim Jong Un was satisfied with the test, saying it demonstrated North Korea's rapidly growing defense capability.
Further details about the test have not been disclosed so far.
On Friday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea fired a ground-to-air missile into waters off the east coast.
The country's recent projectile launches are said to be a protest of the ongoing US-South Korea joint military exercises and newly-adopted international sanctions on North Korea.
The National Assembly of Vietnam has elected Tran Dai Quang as the country's new president.
Tran was sworn in as the president with 452 "yes" votes out of 481 valid ballots.
Prior to the election, he had been serving as Minister of Public Security.
Tran Dai Quang was the sole nominee to the post.
36-thousand autistic children from poor families in China have received aid.
Data shows the incidence of autism is 1.1 in every 1000 children under the age of six in China, with the number of children with autism estimated to be about 111-thousand.
The total number of people in China with autism could be over 10 million, with 2 million children under 14 years old.
The Chinese government has invested 430 million yuan or 66 million US dollars in aid for autistic children.
China has donated 7-thousand medical beds worth nearly 6 million US dollars to Uganda.
Chinese ambassador Zhao Yali says the donation has been distributed to health facilities across the east African country.
The Ugandan Ministry of Health says each major hospital will receive 100 beds while a county-level health center will receive around 20.
China has provided medical support to Uganda by sending medical teams, as well as donating medical equipment and medicines.
Apple has opened a new store in Fuzhou, bringing its total number of stores on the Chinese mainland to 32.
The store has hired about 100 employees who speak Mandarin, Cantonese and English.
The Fuzhou store is the second in Fujian Province. Another store was opened in Xiamen earlier this year.
Apple aims to open four more stores on the Chinese mainland by mid-2016.
