China might soon have its third aircraft carrier, said military expert Song Zhongping, after a picture showing three aircraft carriers was made public in a news piece by China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) on Wednesday. Song told Global Times that the three aircraft carriers shown could be China's original aircraft carrier Liaoning, with the first domestically-developed aircraft carrier alongside a new one with electromagnetic aircraft launch systems. The picture shows that one of the carriers is equipped with three electromagnetic aircraft launch systems, which suggests high speed launch capabilities, high frequency take-offs and quick responses. A giant island, or command center on the deck explains that the warship is a conventionally-powered carrier rather than a nuclear-powered one. However, Song added that according to the unwritten rules of the People's Liberation Army, a nuclear-powered carrier is probably already under development since the warship with electromagnetic launch catapults has now been exposed. team bride wristbandscustomize your own braceletcool wristbandswrist band com coupon coderubber wristbands custom cheap
FUZHOU - Chinese cities will begin full-scale promotion of garbage sorting by 2020, an official said Thursday. By 2020, cities must put in place laws and regulations as well as industrial standards on garbage sorting, said Wang Menghui, minister of housing and urban-rural development, at a conference in Xiamen, a coastal city in Fujian Province. All public institutions should exercise garbage sorting by 2020, when the 46 selected pilot cities should have established a garbage sorting system, the minister said. Legislation should be accelerated to provide support for the system, and innovation be encouraged to explore experiences that could be replicated nationwide, Wang stressed. The minister also called for more efforts to improve garbage treatment in rural areas. The timetable came as China's cities are facing a pile-up of household waste, while landfills and incinerators have often met opposition from local residents. So far, 12 cities have adopted related laws and regulations on garbage sorting, while 24 have plans on the issue.
