Visiting Chinese top legislator Li Peng has held a meeting with chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Conference, Muhammad Amien Rais, to discuss bilateral relations and exchanges between the parliaments of the two countries.
Li Peng says China and Indonesia are both influential developing countries in the Asia Pacific region, and China attaches great importance to good relations with its neighbouring countries. He says China's development will pose no threat to any other country, but will benefit world peace and development.
Rais says bilateral cooperation is in the interests of both peoples and that Indonesia is willing to strengthen its cooperation with China in international affairs. He also reiterates that changes in government will not affect Indonesia's One China stance. He also expresses the belief that Taiwan will eventually reunite with its motherland.

Chinese Vice President Hu Jintao has praised the women of China and Japan for their contributions to the normalisation of Sino-Japanese relations and the development of bilateral ties.
Speaking with the leading members of the Japanese Women Delegation led by Dio Takako, chief of the Japanese Social Democratic Party, Hu Jintao expresses the hope that the women and their respective organisations will continue to display the fine tradition of friendly ties between the two peoples.
Dio Takako says the Japanese women will take the 30th anniversary of the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations as a chance to continue making unremitting efforts for the long-term stability of bilateral ties.
Over 700 women from China and Japan gathered in Beijing on Monday to mark the occasion.
The chairwoman of the All-China Women’s Federation, Peng Peiyun says she hopes the women of the two countries would make even greater contributions to peaceful and stable international relations.

Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji says that China attaches importance to learning from and drawing on developed countries' internal auditing experience. He also notes that China has yet to lift itself to the highest international auditing standards.
He made the remark while meeting with LeRoy Bookal, chairman of the Institute of Internal Auditors, and a group of international auditors who are in Beijing for Global Forum 2002.
Premier Zhu Rongji also hopes that the Institute of Internal Auditors would expand exchanges and cooperation with China.

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has denounced suicide bombings at an address to a special meeting of the Palestinian parliament.
Arafat said the attacks, which he called an illegal form of resistance, provide Israel with a pretext for retaliation against the Palestinian people.
He stressed that the Palestinian authority is adamantly opposed to terrorist acts in any form.
In his speech, Arafat also said he would be willing to relinquish his executive powers in the event that the Palestinian legislative body requests him to do so.

Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan says his country is focused on reaching a "comprehensive solution" with the United Nations.
Ramadan has told visiting former UN arms inspector Scott Ritter that Iraq is ready to settle outstanding issues concerning the UN resolutions "on condition that the UN meets its own commitments".
He said a transparent mechanism for a comprehensive solution with the UN is to guarantee the lifting of the embargo as well as an end to interference in Iraq's internal affairs.
Ritter agreed that Iraq's demand for a comprehensive solution to bring an end to the embargo is "lawful."
He said he believes that the UN has almost finished its arms inspection work in Iraq and that Iraq lacks the capability to develop weapons of mass destruction.
Meanwhile, Arab League chief, Amr Moussa, has voiced his opposition to possible US plans for an attack on Iraq.
Moussa, who is urging Iraq to permit the return of UN arms inspectors, warns that any US military action against Baghdad would be certain to inflame the tense situation in the Middle East.

The new travel attraction will link a number of scenic spots across Sichuan, Yunnan and the Tibet Autonomous Region.

An argument
Sometimes Emily tries to act older than she really is. Sue teaches her a lesson about that!
Today's Mission
What does Emily want to do on her birthday?
Conversation A
(Emily is studying in the living room. Sue comes in.)
Sue : Emily, we need to talk about your birthday. Have you decided what kind of party you want?
Emily : I don't want a party this year.
Sue : Why not? You love parties!
Emily : I know. But I want to do something special since I'll be 14.
Sue : Oh? Like what?
Emily : Well . . . Greg asked me if he could take me out for pizza on my birthday.
Sue : Hmm, that sounds like a date to me.
Conversation B
Emily : It's not a real date. We're just two friends going out for fun.
Sue : No, Emily. You're too young to go out alone with a boy.
Emily : But I think 14 is old enough to go somewhere alone with a boy.
Sue : I don't agree. And I make the rules, remember?
Emily : Amber and Kelly are 14, and their moms let them go on dates.
Sue : And I'm not Amber's or Kelly's mom, am I?
Emily : No. Their moms are nice!
Conversation C
Sue : Emily, don't talk to me that way.
Emily : But it's not fair! None of my friends' moms are as strict as you are!
Sue : Emily, don't whine.
Emily : I'm not whining!
Sue : Emily . . .
Emily : I just don't see why you have to be so strict! You never listen to me! It's not fair!
Sue : I don't like your attitude, young lady. Go to your room and stay there.

Are you beautiful
Standards of"beauty"vary from culture.How do your culture's beauty standards compare to those of the rest of the world?
Face It
What facial features are most attractive? Cultures don't agree. Researchers who studied 190 different cultures concluded that no single, universal beauty standard exists. But a recent study shows that facial symmetry appeals to nearly everyone. Even babies are attracted to faces with symmetry. For many cultures, the ideal female face has a high forehead, full lips, a short jaw and a narrow chin. The ideal male face is often thought to be one with a big jaw, broad chin and strong brow.
Wanting What We Don't Have
People tend to want what they don't have. This may be why Chinese people admire white skin. Many Asians carefully protect their skin from the sun with long sleeves and umbrellas. Many Caucasians, however, spend hours in the sun to darken their white skin.
Some traits are valued because they are rare. Chinese men have told me they like women with big, round eyes. And in China, I noticed the models in most ads are Caucasians. But many Westerners appreciate the exotic beauty of Asian features.
