As this year's college enrollment season approaches, sdaxue.com, a website that provides information on colleges, has released a list of 210 unaccredited domestic colleges that have managed to lure students, who get low scores in the national college entrance exam but still crave university education, to "register" and pay their "tuition fees" to receive fraudulent certificates after "graduation". About 83 of them are in Beijing. Comments:
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's ongoing visit to Latin America consolidates a new era of cooperation between China and the region.
In a few weeks, Beijing will implement a city-wide ban on smoking in all indoor public spaces, such as restaurants and offices, as well as on tobacco advertising outdoors, including those on public transport vehicles and in most forms of media. If the initiative, agreed late last year by the Beijing municipal people's congress, is successful, China may impose a similar ban nationwide.
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to remain the world's growth leader. This contrasts with the global economic landscape, where growth remains uneven against a backdrop of continued low oil prices, sharp variations in exchange rates of major currencies and potential financial market volatility.
Premier Li Keqiang's ongoing visit to four Latin American countries reflects China's long-term commitment to the region, which should not be judged on the basis of the zero-sum game of rivalry, because it is based on win-win cooperation, equality and mutual respect.

With China intensifying the hunt for corrupt officials who have fled to other countries, it is becoming increasingly evident that the havens overseas are disappearing.
A little over a month after Wu Hai, the CEO of Orange Hotel, wrote an open letter to Premier Li Keqiang explaining the difficulties presented by official paperwork, the State Council, China's cabinet, met to discuss how to simplify administrative procedures, while several ministries promised to make more efforts. Comments:
On May 7, the authorities of Guang'an city, Sichuan province, announced a plan to build a local intercity railway, which will pass the central zone of the city instead of Linshui, a subsidiary county. Some residents of Linshui assembled last week to protest against the plan and the protests escalated into violence. Comments:
Many users have called the price-reduction plans of the three major telecom service providers - China Mobile Communications, China United Telecommunications and China Telecom - "insincere" and "ill-designed".
