China calls for stronger action to fight terrorism
The Chinese government is calling on the international community to come up with new thinking in its response to terrorism.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has made the call during a UN Security Council summit on terrorism in New York, where the group adopted a binding resolution on fighting the Islamic State.
The US-drafted resolution is requiring all UN member states to prosecute people who take part, or even attempt to take part, in militant training or help to finance such activities.

China opposes EU interference in judicial independence
The Chinese government is taking issue with new comments from the European Union over the jailing of a Uyghur separatist.

The European Union has issued a statement, calling for Tohti's immediate and unconditional release, describing him as a "respected academic."
The Chinese government has countered, noting Tohti is a convicted criminal, convicted of championing violence, instigating ethnic hatred and stirring up ethnic confrontations.
Tohti was convicted and sentenced this week to life in prision for the posts he wrote on his pro-Uyghur blog, which the courts say championed violence and separatism.
