The Beijing HourEvening EditionPaul James with you this Friday, June 19, 2015.
Welcome to the Beijing Hour, live from the Chinese capital...
Coming up on the program this evening...
Environmental testing is underway along the Yangtze River following the capsizing of a tanker2 in Nanjing.
Final preparations are underway for next week's China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington.
New revelations are suggesting the suspect behind this week's church shooting in the US may have been contemplating3 it for some time.
Business....a group backed by Morgan Stanley investing nearly a billion dollars into Alibaba's online insurance company.

Top NewsCargo ship capsizes in Yangtze River, 2 missingTesting is underway on the Yangtze River in the city of Nanjing following the capsizing of a tanker on Thursday.
The ship was discovered overturned early Thursday morning.
Qian Feng with Nanjing's environmental protection bureau says they're currently running tests to see if any environmental damage has been caused.
"At present, we have set up oil fences and placed oil absorbents in the water. Once we find an oil spill, we will take steps to clean it up."The two people thought to be onboard the cargo4 ship are still missing.
National maritime8 oil pollution compensation system establishedChinese transport authorities have announced the creation of a national compensation program specifically for oil spills.
Currently, ship owners have little liability when it comes to oil spills.
Li Qingping with China's Maritime Safety Administration says the new compensation program is an additional supplement for sea farmers or fishermen affected10 by oil spills.
"It's a protection system complementing11 the current insurance mechanism12. At the same time, it can support our country's legal system in dealing with pollution and damages due to ships' oil spills."The number of oil spills in China has been on the rise in recent years amid the country's growing demand for imported oil.
El Nino effect on China to last till autumn: expertsEnvironmental experts in China are warning the so-called "El Nino effect" is going to remain in effect here in China through until the fall.
Liu Zhiyu with the Ministry13 of Water Resources says they're concerned this current cycle may bring additional flooding along the Yangtze River this summer.
"The rainfall is likely to be more than usual this summer in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including the area around Lake Tai. The situation will not change until the end of July. We predict there may be significant regional flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River with a magnitude as big as in 1996 and 2010."Forecasters are also warning the effects of the current "El Nino" event are likely going to increase as the summer goes on, potentially extending the rainy seasons along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the Sichuan Basin.
"El Nino" is a periodic change in ocean temperatures in the Pacific which creates high-pressure systems along the western Pacific.
The effect typically generates more rain in central and southern China during the summer.
It also limits rainfall in the northern sections of China and the rest of the region.
North Korea is said to be struggling through its worst drought in the country's history.
China, U.S. officials to meet for annual dialogue, consultationPreparations are underway for the latest round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue.
Chinese vice15-Premiers Wang Yang and Liu Yandong, along with State Councilor Yang Jiechi, are set to lead the Chinese delegation17 to next week's meetings in Washington.
The talks are scheduled to take place Tuesday and Wednesday.
Vice-Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao says the economic side of the discussions will focus this time on three main areas.
"Both sides will hold in-depth discussions on three special topics: macroeconomics polices and structural18 reforms, promotion19 of trade and investment, as well as stability and reforms of the financial market."On the strategic side, areas of discussion during the forthcoming session are expected to focus mostly on non-critical areas such as education, health and sports.
However, it's widely expected areas of strategic importance, including the South China Sea, will be discussed.
Assistant Chinese Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang says the Chinese side is prepared for these topics.
"Towards these issues, first, we won't avoid them and will consistently safeguard the interests of China. Second, we will strengthen the mutual20 trust between China and US to deal with these kinds of conflicts. Only in this way can we maintain the sound and stable development of Sino-US relations."The US side to next weeks talks will be led by US Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury21 Secretary Jacob Lew.
Discussions are also expected to be held on the sidelines of the meetings to pave the way for Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the US in September.
Top Chinese, U.S. universities launch Global Innovation Exchange Institute in SeattleA pair of leading universities from China and the United States have entered into a new exchange program.
Tsinghua University and Washington State University have entered into the agreement.
A signing ceremony has taken place in Seattle.
The creation of the Global Innovation Exchange Institute will focus on training students from both sides in technology development.
Microsoft, which is based in Washington State, is pumping 40-million US dollars into the program.
China, Russia to increase bilateral22 investment, financial cooperationVisiting Chinese Vice-Premier16 Zhang Gaoli has had a sit-down with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of this year's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum23.
As part of the meeting, Vladimir Putin has taken time to laud24 the Chinese government for tightening26 its ties with Russia.
"Our relations (in general) and in the economic sphere are on the rise. To a large extent it is due to the efforts of the Russian Federation27 and the Chinese State Council, so we are grateful to you for this."The annual meetings in St. Petersburg are designed to attract foreign investment into Russia.
Ping Yu, vice-chair of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, says there is still a lot of potential in Russia, despite its current economic problems.
"I think there's a lot of potential in the investment field between the two countries. Lots of Chinese companies would like to invest in Russia, in the Far Eastern part of Russia, and in the European part of Russia."Chinese investment in Russia hit 33-billion US dollars last year.
Chinese and Russian companies are set to sign deals at the meetings in St. Petersburg covering the pre-construction surveys and designs for the Moscow-Kazan high-speed rail link.
The 770-kilometer section of rail line is part of the broader Beijing-Moscow high-speed transport corridor being developed.
Discussions are also taking place in St. Petersburg connected to natural gas pipelines28, airplane manufacturing and China's involvement in Russia's development strategy for its Far East Region.
Special higher-education enrollment29 plan benefits rural studentsAnchor:
Groups of students from China's rural areas are now in the process of taking independent admission tests to try to qualify for enrollment in some of China's most prestigious30 universities.
CRI's Xie Cheng has more.
Reporter:
Under the current education requirements here in China, colleges and universities are required to have at least 2-percent of their students enrolled31 from rural areas.
This year, in an attempt to get more young people from the countryside into post-secondary education, more spaces are being set aside exclusively for rural enrollment.
The minimum passing scores for the exams have also been lowered.
At Tsinghua University in Beijing, considered China's most prestigious university, more than 100 rural students who pass the independent admission tests will be enrolled.
Wang Aijun is one of those hoping to get in under the rural enrollment program.
"First of all, the plan greatly reduces the number of students we have to compete with. The pressure is sharply lower. Take myself as an example. My scores on the Gaokao can be dozens of points below the minimum passing score for top universities like Peking or Tsinghua. But under the rural admission program, the gap for me getting in is greatly reduced."Gu Yu, head of admissions at Tianjin University, says test scores aren't the only thing they look at when deciding which students from rural areas will be admitted.
"The students' family background and places of birth will be included in the information notes for the examiners. This is something they pay a lot of attention to while asking the students questions and assessing their abilities."Zi Yanyang is an enrollment officer.
He says they are looking for special qualities in the rural students they assess.
"We don't want to embarrass or stump32 the students. What we really want to do is enlighten them, tap their potential, and give them a chance to exchange their ideas with their professors. We hope to include intelligent students who have great potential and great passion for science into our school through the independent enrollment exams."Education authorities have also extended the rural enrollment program for medical students.
55-hundred slots at rural medical schools are being opened this year.
Those who sign up for admission to the program will be trained for free, provided they agree to spend at least 6-years practicing medicine in the country's rural areas.

China to Punish Violent Crimes in Doctor-patient Disputes: SPCAnchorThe Supreme33 People's Court has been forced to once-again issue a statement, warning of harsh punishments for anyone who assaults medical staff in China.
This follows a horrific attack on a doctor earlier this week in southern China, which is the latest in a string of attacks on medical personnel in the country.
CRI's Niu Honglin has more.
ReporterFrustration, misunderstanding and dissatisfaction are the characteristics of doctor-patient relations in China, often resulting in violence.
A 54-year-old radiotherapy doctor at a hospital in Guangxi was attacked on Tuesday morning. A patient poured gasoline on him in a hospital lift and lit it.
Chen Huaidai, a stuff nurse who was on the scene, helped Dr. Qin right after the attack.
Act 1 Chen female in Chinese"There was fire all over him. I saw him rolling on the floor, taking off his burning clothes. He told me it was his old patient who lit him on fire. He was whispering, looked very weak, already."Dr. Qin is currently in intensive care, with burns to over a third of his body. Doctors say if he survives the attack, the burns will definitely disfigure him.
Local police say the suspect, surnamed Wang, had received treatment in Qin's department three years ago after being diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer.
Only two weeks ago, Liu Feng, an Otolaryngology attendant at a hospital in Shanxi province was hit by a patient after stopping the patient from cutting in line.
While doctors are fretting37 over troubled relationship with patients, the patients have grievances38 of their own, having long complained about the difficulty of seeing doctors and obtaining proper treatment.
Deng Liqiang, a lawyer with the Chinese Medical Association, says one of the underlying39 reasons is uneven40 distribution of medical resources.
Act 3 Deng, male in Chinese"Patients flood into big hospitals where doctors are always busy. Meanwhile, community hospitals remain highly available but are barely recognized by patients. The overcrowding in big hospitals inevitably41 slashes42 consultation14 times and mars doctor-patient communication, resulting in patients feeling unsatisfied and creating problem-prone medical relationships."The dissatisfaction has fueled resentment43 on both sides. In 2014, more than 110,000 medical disputes were reported across the country.
Zhang Xiaodong, with Beijing Cancer Hospital & School of Oncology, Peking University, says patients should have "reasonable expectations" for doctors.
Act 4 Zhang, female in Chinese"Patients have very high expectations and they do not accept the fact that there are complications after treatment. It creates a huge problem. Actually, we do not have adequate public education concerning many kinds of diseases."In a survey published last month, 13 percent of the over 12,000 doctors polled said they had been physically44 assaulted by patients in the last year, with nearly 60 percent having been verbally abused.
Sixty percent of doctors reported low job satisfaction, and 64 percent did not want their children to become doctors.

Unimpeded Trade Sought After Along "Belt and Road" Initiative RouteAnchor:
Leading trade officials and observers from over 40 different countries have gathered in the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang to discuss how to create unfettered access to trade along the Chinese government's "Belt and Road" Initiative.
CRI's Tu Yun has more.
Reporter:
Said to be the world's largest market for wholesale45, small-scale commodities, the city of Yiwu is being touted46 as a pivot47 city in the "Belt and Road" Initiative.
"There are 1.8 million kinds of products available from over 100 countries in the Yiwu Small Commodity Market."Sheng Qiuping is the Mayor of Yiwu.
"We have a well-developed transportation network, and convenient logistics and customs clearance48 system. Yiwu's foreign trade enjoyed annual growth of 43-percent in the first five months against the backdrop of the economic slowdown in the country. The city's foreign trade volume is expected to surpass 30 billion US dollars this year."But the picture is not that rosy49 in other cities along the "Belt and Road" route.
And their biggest concern?
"Security issue will be a challenge.""Security is a concern. Security.""Security issues in Afghanistan."The Belt and Road Initiative is designed to try to bring China economically closer to the rest of the world, linking Central Asia, West Asia, the Middle East and Europe through a series of trade routes.
But some countries and regions along the route, such as Afghanistan and Pakistan, are economically, politically and militarily unstable50 .
Now efforts are being made to break the bottleneck51.
Former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Riaz Hussain Khokhar says he feels working with China is one of the best ways to break the cycle.
"We all have to cooperate to ensure that these projects are secure, and that terrorism and extremist people and people who believe in separatism do not create problems for Pakistan and China."Nine army battalions52 and six wings of civilian53 security forces are reportedly going to be devoted54 to protecting the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project.
This is a passageway connecting the Silk Road Economic Belt through the restive55 tribal56 areas with the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which is the sea trade route included in the "Belt and Road" initiative.
Aside from physically protecting the routes, Ariella Viehe, an international affairs fellow with the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations, says long-term strategies for the region are also needed.
"One thing we have learnt that's very challenging is to ensure the sustainability of economic growth. And that includes long-term education. It includes many conferences like this to build cultural, social and business ties. We require thinking about the project not just in getting it done, but in making sure it has impact for decades to come."The United States launched a similar project called the "New Silk Road" in 2011, mainly focusing on Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia.
The two-day forum in Yiwu has been organized by the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University.
For CRI, I'm Tu Yun reporting from Yiwu.
Thailand confirms first MERS caseHealth authorities in Thailand have confirmed the country's first case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome57.
A 75-year-old businessman from Oman had tested positive for the MERS virus.
Thai Public Health Minister Rajata Rajatanavin is calling for calm.
"Please don't panic. This person travelled from another country. The public health ministry has confirmed the case as quickly as possible. Since he arrived here, we have isolated him from other patients, and his relatives also have had no contact with other patients in the hospital."59 others are being monitored for the virus, including three of the man's relatives who traveled with him to Bangkok.
The current outbreak of MERS in South Korea has left 24 people dead, and over 160 others infected.
South Korean officials have confirmed one new death and one new infection as of this Friday.
Health authorities in the country are monitoring around 3-thousand people who may have had some level of contact with a paramedic who works for the Samsung medical center in Seoul who has been diagnosed with MERS.
Despite this, South Korean health authorities, as well as the World Health Organization, are suggesting the MERS outbreak in the country is on the decline.
China develops 15-minute MERS testA new diagnostic test for MERS has been developed in China.
It's been developed by researchers at Hong Kong and Xiamen universities.
The new reagent test only takes 15 minutes to determine if someone has MERS.
It should allow a single tech to process around a thousand samples a day.
Hijacked59 oil tanker in Malaysia rescued, pirates fleeMalaysian authorities are now hunting for the men who hijacked a Malaysian oil tanker last week.
Naval60 forces are currently trying to track down 8 men thought responsible for the hijacking61 of the Orkim Harmony on June 11th.
Admiral Ahmad Kahar with the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency says all 22 crew members of the boat are safe.
"I want to inform you today that the Orkim Harmony case is solved. We succeeded in recovering the vessel62 and its crew. It is now on its way back home to Kuantan port."The hijacking of the Orkim Harmony is the latest in a string of pirate attacks off southern Malaysia so far this year.
It's believed groups of Indonesian-based pirates have been specifically targeting vessels63 for their fuel cargo.
There have been 5 hijackings off southern Malaysia so-far this year.
U.S. church shooting suspect 'has a plan': friendNew details are starting to emerge in connection with Wednesday's mass shooting at a black church in the US state of South Carolina.
2nd-hand reports relayed through friends of the survivors64 are suggesting the suspect, 21-year old Dylann Roof, sat with parishners for around an hour during a prayer session at the church in Charleston before bringing out his gun and opening fire.
Reports are suggesting the 21-year old young white man took time to reload around 5-times during the killing65 spree, which left 9-people dead.
Joseph Meek67 Junior, a friend of the suspect, says Roof had been talking about taking part in something like this for at least half-a-year.
"He was drunk whenever he was talking about him wanting to do something crazy. And whenever he was saying he was wanting to do something crazy, I just blew it off and didn't really pay attention to him because he was intoxicated68."Dylann Roof was picked up on Thursday in neighboring North Carolina, and has since been returned to police custody69 in Charleston.
He's facing murder charges and a likely death-penalty case against him.
Low emission helicopters and electric planes have been generating a lot of buzz at this year's Paris Air Show, with observers suggesting they could be the future of a greener and cleaner aviation sector71.
CRI's Qian Shanming has more.
Reporter:
From the state of the art to the shape of the future, the 51st Paris Air Show is highlighting current designs and cutting edge technology.
Airbus is displaying its E-Fan electric plane, which the company claims has zero carbon dioxide emissions72.
Didier Esteyne is an E-Fan test pilot.
"Starting from now, from 2015 and in the following years we will be capable to make and fly purely73 electrical planes, without CO2 exhaust and with an extremely reduced noise impact, and that is a very important environmental challenge".
Airbus is currently developing two-seat and four-seat versions of the plane, aiming to release the two-seat pilot trainer in 2017 as the first electric plane to meet international certification standards.
The company intends on marketing74 the small planes for entry-level pilot training, which Esteyne maintains will be more efficient with regards to costs.
But Jean Botti, the Chief Technical Officer of Airbus, says the company has even greater ambitions for the future.
"Our objective here is to make a hybrid75 - electric hundred seater for the future, it will be original aircraft, and this electric power aircraft could be (available) within fifteen years; we are hoping to make a prototype that will be visible and functional76."Also on show in Paris is Airbus' H160 helicopter, a prototype expected to go on the market in 2018.
It will go on offshore77 oil-and-gas missions, search-and-rescue missions, and be used for first class travel.
Airbus anticipates the new helicopter will burn 15 to 20 percent less fuel than its competitor, the Agusta Westland AW139.
Benoit Terral, Sales Manager at Airbus Helicopters, emphasizes the H160's low noise operational capabilities78.
"There is a lot of gain in this helicopter like a huge decrease of sound emissions, gain in the performance, in lift and so in useful load. We do now, on the main rotor two to three decibels79 less (noise) which means something between 40 - 50 percent of less perceived noise. "Airbus aims to begin taking orders for the new helicopter next year.
The company also showcased its P.1HH Hammerhead drone, which can perform missions lasting80 up to 16 hours.
The Italian air force is currently testing that model.

Emergency summit called on Monday to tackle Greek debt crisisAn emergency meeting among the leaders of Eurozone countries has been set for Monday.
The emergency session has been called after the failure of the latest round of Greek debt talks this week.
Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem says Thursday's meetings made virtually no headway.
"What we need is credible113 measures which fill in the fiscal114 gaps which are still in the talks, and credible measures to bring the economy back on track. Those measures are not popular, they will not be easy to take and the big question is whether the Greek government is prepared to take them, because they are inevitable115, they are necessary for Greece."Despite this, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis says he remains confident a deal can be struck.
"We are dangerously close to a state of mind that accepts an accident. And I urge my colleagues not to fall prey116 to this state of mind. We can forge a good agreement. Our government is standing34 by with ideas and with a determination to cultivate the two forms of trust necessary to end this Greek drama."Greece has less than two weeks left to strike a deal with its creditors117 or default on a 1.6-billion euro repayment118 due to the International Monetary119 Fund at the end of the month.
If it can't make the payment, Greece may be forced out of the eurozone.

One day out of four done in a good way."Three-time U.S. Open champion Tiger Woods had another disappointing round. He signed a 10-over-par 80.
Woods says this when asked if this is the most difficult time of his career:
"Yeah, it has, because I haven't had enough -- I haven't played enough. I haven't had a rhythm to play. I didn't play much last year and I haven't played much this year. Knee surgeries are pretty easy compared to a back surgery, the recovery time. And for some reason, it's just a lot harder dealing with a nerve than a joint103."Playing in the same group as Woods was Rickie Fowler, who fared even worse with a 11-over 81. Fowler, however, did have the top shot of the day with his drive off the tee of the par-four, 317 yard 12th hole.
In Formula One,Drivers have spoken ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, hoping for a good weekend.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel admitted there is quite a big gap between the Italian manufacturers and Mercedes.
"We also have to be realistic, challenging the Mercedes we first of all have to have a flawless weekend, a perfect weekend, and maybe hoping for them to have a little bit of a struggle. Normal circumstances it is quite difficult to beat them as they are still the favourites going in and there is still quite a big gap." Vittel is sitting third in the driver's championship behind Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
Those two have won six of seven races this season and qualified on the pole in all of them.
Nico Rosberg is very optimistic about his team's chances here.
"I don't think so much about the past or things like that, for me it's just now and lately it's been going okay. Of course Canada not so much, I lost out there, but I'm feeling good. It's great to be here, I won here last year so I arrive here very optimistically, we have a great car so it should be a great weekend."The Grand Prix begins with free practice sessions on Friday.
