Finance Minister Xiang Huaicheng says China's pro-active fiscal policy and monetary measures have warded off the Asian financial crisis, boosted internal demand and maintained sustainable and rapid economic growth.
He told a luncheon hosted by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce that by implementing a pro-active fiscal policy, China has fully mobilized domestic funds and built a number of infrastructure facilities. The country is also pushing forward economic restructuring, and paving the way for long-term sustainable economic growth.
The Finance Minister added that China's fiscal deficit and debt balance is below the internationally recognized safety level, and is within China's control. He believes that China's solvency will be improved by further economic expansion and reforms in the fiscal and taxation system.

UN chief arms inspector Hans Blix says he is making progress in his first talks with Iraqi officials.
Blix made the remarks after meeting with Iraqi officials in Baghdad.
More talks are expected to take place Tuesday before Blix leaves Iraq the following day.
Blix and an advance team of about two dozen members arrived in Baghdad earlier in the day, marking a significant return of UN weapons inspectors to Iraq after an absence of four years.
Speaking upon his arrival, Blix outlined what they wanted to achieve:
Blix says preliminary inspections are expected to resume on the 27th of this month. Full-scale checks will recommence after Iraq files a declaration of its banned weapons programs by December 8th. Blix then has 60 days to report back to the Security Council on his findings.

US intelligence analysts say the latest audiotape of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is real and was recorded recently.
It is the first evidence in almost a year that shows bin Laden is still alive.
US officials say the audiotape, broadcast on the Qatar-based al-Jazeera television last week, does not appear to have been altered or edited.
In the tape, bin Laden hailed the terror attacks in Kuwait, Yemen, Bali and Moscow as "a response to what happened to Muslims all around the world."
The tape also threatens retaliation against the US-led anti-terror coalition.
People across China are acting in the spirit of the 16th National Congress.
They are setting out to fulfil the tasks set out in the just ended Congress, and to contribute to the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Workers from China’s petro-chemical enterprises are putting this spirit into practise, and are speeding up socialist modernisation.
People in Shanghai say the Congress has made important plans for the construction of socialist modernisation. The city will take new measures designed to ensure economic progress.

Over 2,000 tons of pears grown in Hebei province have been exported to the United States.
It is the first pear shipment since the US banned imports in 2001 due to a disease in the imported fruit.
With the help of various government resources, proper measures were taken by Chinese farmers and processors to control the disease. The shipments have resumed under a bilateral agreement signed in mid-October.

Two new engineering feats may one day brighten the prospects for cardiac bypass patients and other heart patients.
In the first study, researchers used tissue engineering to build blood vessels from human skin cell tissue, then implanted them into laboratory animals, where they worked well for up to two weeks.
The process used in the new study required no scaffolds made of synthetic materials, which ran the risk of being rejected by the body.
In the second study, muscle cells that were implanted into the hearts of lab rats were actually able to connect with existing cells and start passing electrical signals.
