Police have detained the main suspect in the Nanjing poisoning case, in which 38 people have been confirmed dead and six others in serious condition after eating food from a local restaurant.
The suspect, Chen Zhenping, is the owner of another restaurant. He was arrested after fleeing to Zhengzhou in central China and accused of putting rat poison in the food of his competitor’s establishment.
China Central Televion reports that an investigation by the local public security department shows a commonly-used rat poison was the cause of the tragedy. The suspect has confessed his guilt, saying he was jealous of his competitor’s brisk business.
On Saturday morning, over 200 people - mostly students and migrant workers - were poisoned after eating fried dough sticks, sesame cakes and glutinous rice in a restaurant in Tangshan Town. The surviving victims are reported to be in stable condition.
Local hospitals began treating the sick immediately.

Chinese and German officials are in touch to seek a solution to the recent intrusion of two unidentified people into the diplomatic residences of the German embassy in Beijing.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan says some non-governmental organizations and so-called human rights groups have instigated some people, especially those illegally entering China, to force their way into foreign diplomatic missions in China.
He says China is strongly opposed to this provocation, which has harmed social stability and challenges China’s laws and regulations. It has also affected the safety of foreign missions in China and the normal life and work of foreign representatives.
Kong Quan adds that China is a country with rule of law, and will deal with these incidents according to law.

North Korea pledges to prolong the freezing of missile testing to 2003 beyond.
Both sides agree to urge the countries concerned to conduct dialogue over the nuclear weapon sissue.

China United Telecommunications Group is to launch China’s biggest public offering this year. The parent company of Hong Kong-listed China Unicom is expected to raise 11.5 billion yuan, or 1.4 billion US dollars, this time.
As the country’s second largest cellular phone carrier, China Unicom has secured approval from China’s Securities Regulatory Commission to sell five billion A shares at 2.3 yuan, or 28 US cents, per share.
Analysts say investors fear the lower-than-expected initial offering price will dent liquidity in the currently sluggish stock market.

US regulators have paved the way for China's largest fixed-line telecom firm to begin providing voice, data and other services between China and the United States.
China Telecom says the Federal Communications Commission, the US government's broadcast and communications regulatory body, recently approved its application for the horizontal expansion.
The move into international voice and data networking marks a shift in the company's strategy of limiting its US operations to Internet-related services.

China’s State Economic and Trade Commission and other departments have announced that the Chinese government will hold a country-wide WTO knowledge competition, urging people from all sectors to learn about world trade regulations and the WTO itself.
Understanding the WTO has become essential for local government officials since China joined the organization. The competition is designed to make many more Chinese people learn and be able to apply WTO regulations.
The competition will last two months, and the winner will visit WTO’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Pakistan has handed an alleged Sept.11planner Ramzi Binalshibh and four other al-Qaeda suspects over to the United States.

Now, some rare good news, maybe, for smokers and coffee drinkers.
New medical research has confirmed a correlation between smoking, coffee drinking and a lower risk of Parkinson's disease.
A just completed study found a 60 per cent lower risk for Parkinson’s among smokers, with coffee consumption associated with a 30 per cent lower risk.
The researchers caution that the results do not suggest cigarettes or coffee per se will prevent the disorder, which is marked by a loss of certain brain cells that leads to tremors, rigidity and problems with balance and coordination.
Buzz off!滚开！
