BEIJING - China has lodged representations with the Republic of Korea (ROK) over the delivery of four more US missile defense system mobile launchers to the ROK. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying made the above remarks Thursday at a daily press briefing, saying that China has expressed its serious concerns and solemn position over the issue to the ROK. "We strongly urge the United States and the ROK to immediately halt the deployment and withdraw the THAAD system," she said. Four mobile launchers were brought into the ROK in addition to the two units that had already been deployed as part of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. The US deployment of THAAD in the ROK seriously undermines China's strategic security interests and disrupts the strategic balance in the region, according to Hua. She said that the THAAD deployment is not conducive to the goal of denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and runs counter to efforts to solve the issue through dialogue and consultation. personalised silicone wristbandsjordan wristband rubbercheap custom wristbandsrubber bracelets cheaprubber wristbands in bulkpersonalized rubber bracelets
BEIJING - The top anti-graft body of the Communist Party of China (CPC) said Tuesday that 6,187 officials were punished in September for violating the Party's austerity rules. The officials were involved in 4,506 cases, according to the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). Awarding an unauthorized allowance or bonus was the most common misdemeanor, followed by giving or accepting gifts and misuse of public vehicles. A total of 47,005 officials involved in 33,471 cases were punished in the first nine months of 2017, the CCDI said. The CPC released its eight-point rules on austerity in late 2012 to reduce undesirable work practices. The CCDI has a monthly reporting system on the implementation of the rules within the provincial-level governments, central Party and governmental agencies, centrally-administered state-owned enterprises and central financial institutions.
