China's Xi swears in Macao's new leader, urges economic diversification

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged the casino hub of Macao to diversify its economy as he swore in the former Portuguese colony's new government on Friday at an event marking the 25th anniversary of its handover to China. New Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai Macao's first leader born in mainland China vowed to address the territory's unbalanced and uncoordinated economic development. Since its 1999 handover, the city of 687,000 has transformed from a monopoly-driven gambling enclave into the world's largest gaming hub, drawing hordes of tourists from mainland China. The casino boom has improved living standards, but authorities are concerned that the semi-autonomous city's economy is unhealthily dependent on the industry. Some young people say the tourism-dominated economy has limited their career options and the city's diversified development. Critics say years of easy money from tourists have discouraged local businesses from innovating and improving, with many residents rely on ...

Stop whitewashing mistakes, turn the knife inward: Xi to Chinese officials

Chinese President Xi Jinping, who continues to crack the corruption whip on the ruling Communist Party and the military officials, asked the cadre to turn the knife inwards, stop whitewashing mistakes and carry the anti-graft campaign without any mercy. Since he came to power in 2012, Xi made the anti-corruption campaign the main plank of his governance model. Official media accounts say over a million party officials, including two defence ministers and dozens of military officials, were punished and prosecuted in the campaign. In his speech delivered at the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) in January this year, contents of which were released for the first time on Sunday by party theoretical magazine Qiushi, 71-year-old Xi has called on cadres to confront corruption head-on so that interest groups cannot prey on the Party. Xi said all party members must deeply promote the party's self-revolution referring mainly to the fight against ...

Taiwan prez meets Hawaii's Guv, members of Congress; China condemns visit

On a two-day visit to Hawaii, Taiwan's president Lai Ching-te met with the state's governor and congressional representatives as part of a Pacific island tour that has already triggered criticism from Beijing. On Sunday, China's Foreign Ministry said it strongly condemned US support for Lai's visit and lodged a complaint with the US. It also denounced a newly announced US weapons sale to Taiwan, a self-governing island that China claims as its own territory. China will closely monitor the situation's development, and take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, said the statement. Hawaii was Lai's first stop on a weeklong voyage that will later take him to the Marshall Islands, Tuvalu and Palau. They account for three of the 12 countries Taipei has formal diplomatic relations with. Hawaii's Gov Josh Green on Saturday hosted Lai at the state's emergency management agency where they discussed disaster preparedness. Green, who w
