China mulls breast feeding campaign

The top legislature began reviewing a draft amendment to the Advertisement Law, which proposes a ban on baby formula advertising to promote breast feeding. "Dairy products, drinks and other food advertisements that claim to partly or completely substitute mother's milk are banned from mass media or public venues," said the draft. The proposal stipulates that advertisers, clients, agents and publishers that violate the rule could be fined up to 1 million yuan. Many champions believe that breast feeding is the best source of nutrition for newborns, as it increases their immune systems and reduces the likelihood of obesity in adulthood. However, only 28 percent of infants younger than 6 months were breast fed exclusively in China in 2008, well below the global average of about 40 percent. Breast feeding rates might have increased in recent years as the government initiated measures to revive the practice, such as encouraging businesses to offer new mothers dedicated rooms to feed their infants . The State Council aims to raise the exclusive breast feeding rate to 50 percent by 2020, as outlined in its program for the development of women and children.

中国仔细考虑母乳喂养

最高立法机关开始审阅修订广告法，提出了一个禁止婴儿奶粉广告的草案以来推广母乳喂养。草案称：声称能部分或完全替代母乳的乳制品或饮料等食品的广告在大众媒体或公共场所被禁止。该提案称，违反该规定的广告商、客户、代理商及发布者都会被罚款高达1万元。许多冠军认为母乳喂养是新生儿营养的最佳来源，因为它增加了他们的免疫系统，减少了成年肥胖的可能性。然而，2008年在中国年龄小于6个月的婴幼儿只有28％的人完全母乳喂养，远低于40％的全球平均水平。因为政府采取了多项措施，如鼓励企业提供专门的房间来让新妈妈喂养自己的婴儿，母乳喂养率可能在最近几年有所增加。国务院在妇女和儿童的发展计划中指出到2020年要使母乳喂养率提高到50％。

China's Xi Jinping to unveil $46bn super highway to

Pakistan

China's President Xi Jinping has arrived in Pakistan, where he is expected to announce investment of $46bn. It is just a little less than three times the entire foreign direct investment Pakistan has received since 2008. The focus of the spending is on building a China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) - a network of roads, railway and pipelines between the two. They will run some 3,000km from Gwadar in Pakistan to China's western Xinjiang region. The projects will give China direct access to the Indian Ocean and beyond. This marks a major advance in China's plans to boost its economic influence in Central and South Asia, and far exceeds US spending in Pakistan. Pakistan, for China, is now of pivotal importance. This has to succeed and be seen to succeed. Pakistan, for its part, hopes the investment will boost its struggling economy and help end chronic power shortages.

Prada's profit takes a hit from China

Italian luxury goods retailer Prada saw its net profit fall 28% last year as sales slumped in major markets of China and Europe. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for more than 35% of the group's sales, making it Prada's biggest market.

In other major markets like Europe, Prada sales fell nearly 5%. The losses were given a boost by sales growing slightly in North America and Japan, where sales jumped nearly 8%.

Tsinghua aims to recruit 5 percent of students from rural

areas

Students from low-income families in rural areas will be able to apply for places at one of China's top universities, Tsinghua University, under the provisions of a preferential recruitment plan, the university's admissions office said earlier this week. Tsinghua University will recruit five percent of its new undergraduate students from rural areas, or about 160, through the plan in a bid to reduce the education gap between cities and rural areas, encourage social mobility and balance the use of the nation's education resources. The plan, launched in 2011 with five other top universities including Nanjing University and Zhejiang University, aims to increase education equality in higher education. In previous years, high schools from rural areas had the right to recommend a student to participate in the plan. This year, Tsinghua has put more power in the hands of students. According to the preferential recruitment policy, students from rural areas who pass a separate test designed under the plan could be admitted by the university with scores lower than the regular admission score. To avoid city students pretending to be rural ones in order to benefit

from the preferential policy, universities require applicants to submit a three-year complete school record from a high school in a rural area. Peking University, Renmin University of China and Wuhan University have also launched similar plans to recruit more students from rural areas.
