Foreign media views PLA helicopter unit

The first unit of attack helicopters of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was viewed by journalists from home and abroad on Tuesday, ahead of the 85th anniversary of the founding of PLA, which falls on Aug. 1.

A total of 160 journalists from 86 Chinese and overseas media organizations on Tuesday morning visited the Fourth Helicopter Regiment of the PLA Army Aviation deployed in the eastern suburb of Beijing. It is the fifth time that the media have been allowed to view PLA units prior to the Army Day, falling on Aug. 1, since 2008.

After listening to a brief introduction by Col. Zhang Zhilin, commander of the regiment, journalists observed various equipments in the camp, including two home-developed Z-9WZ and two Russian-made Mi-171, aircraft guns and air-to-air missiles.

Journalists later watched an air show.

"The quality of Chinese soldiers is very impressive," said Ananth Krishnan, a correspondent of India's the Hindu stationed in China. "I hope there will be more interviews of this kind in the future."

Bradley Perrett, a journalist of the U.S. Aviation Weekly, said the visit showed the PLA's active efforts to improve its transparency.

Directly under the command of the PLA Headquarters, the Fourth Helicopter Regiment has taken part in over 20 major non-combat military missions since its founding 24 years ago.

Top 10 nude models in China

Image
Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot .

18 May 2012 Last updated at 00:00 ET China said 10,680 tonnes would be added to the quota on top of 10,546 tonnes initially issued China has allowed more companies to export rare earths, increasing the quotas set by the government, after they met environment standards. It has increased rare earth export quotas by 10,680 tonnes, the Ministry of Commerce said Thursday. The announcement brings the total quotas issued so far this year to 21,226 tonnes. Rare earths are a collection of 17 elements used in products from smartphones to hybrid cars. China, the biggest miner of rare earths, capped exports at 30,184 tonnes last year. It said the quotas were designed to conserve resources and protect the environment. Beijing is embroiled in trade disputes with the US, Japan and the European Union over its control of rare earths. However, only about half of last year's quota was used, according to the ministry. China normally allocates rare earth resources in two s...
