XIAMEN Cheap Air Max 360 , Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Following is the full text of remarks by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the plenary session of the BRICS Xiamen Summit on Monday:
I am delighted to meet with my colleagues again. I wish to begin by extending, on behalf of the Chinese government and people, a warm welcome to you all. Welcome to the BRICS Xiamen Summit. With the focus on the theme of the summit: "Stronger Partnership for a Brighter Future", I look forward to working with you to take stock of BRICS cooperation, map out a blueprint for its future development and set sail on a new journey of cooperation.
BRICS cooperation has traversed a glorious journey of one decade. Though separated by mountains and oceans Cheap Air Max 2019 , our five countries have been closely bound by a shared commitment to win-win cooperation.
As an ancient Chinese saying goes, "A partnership forged with the right approach defies geographical distance; it is thicker than glue and stronger than metal and stone." We owe the rapid development of BRICS cooperation to our adoption of a right approach. Guided by this approach, we have respected and supported each other in following the path of development suited to our respective national conditions; we have pushed forward economic, political and people-to-people cooperation in an open, inclusive and win-win spirit; and we have worked in unison with other emerging market and developing countries to uphold international justice and equity and foster a sound external environment.
Past progress shows that BRICS cooperation has met our common need for development and is in keeping with the trend of history. Though we have different national conditions, we share the commitment to pursuing development and prosperity through partnership. This has enabled us to rise above differences and seek win-win results.
As the world undergoes profound and complex changes Cheap Air Max 2018 Elite , BRICS cooperation has become more important. Our people expect us to jointly boost development and improve their well-being. The international community expects us to make contribution to world peace and common development. We must redouble our efforts to comprehensively deepen BRICS partnership and usher in the second "Golden Decade" of BRICS cooperation.
First, we need to seek practical results in our economic cooperation. Results-oriented cooperation is the foundation of BRICS cooperation, and significant progress has been made in this regard. However, we have yet to fully tap the potential of BRICS cooperation. Statistics show that of the 197 billion US dollars of outbound investment we made in 2016, only 5.7% took place among our five countries. This means BRICS cooperation still has broad space.
We need to stay focused on promoting results-oriented economic cooperation, and expand converging interests in trade and investment Cheap Air Max 2017 , currency and finance, connectivity, sustainable development, innovation and industrial cooperation. This year, we have formulated the BRICS Trade in Services Cooperation Roadmap, the Outlines for BRICS Investment Facilitation Cheap Air Max 2016 , the BRICS E-Commerce Cooperation Initiative, the BRICS Action Plan for Innovation Cooperation and the Action Plan for Deepening Industrial Cooperation Among BRICS Countries. We have launched the African Regional Center of the New Development Bank (NDB), decided to set up the BRICS Model E-Port Network and reached extensive agreement on taxation, e-commerce, local currency bond, public-private partnership Cheap Air Max 2 Uptempo , and the network of financial institutions and services. Our practical cooperation has become more institutionalized and substantive, and delivered more tangible results.
I wish to announce here that China will launch the Economic and Technical Cooperation Plan for BRICS Countries with 500 million yuan for the first term to facilitate policy exchange and practical cooperation in the economic and trade fields. China will contribute four million US dollars to the NDB Project Preparation Facility to support the business operation and long-term development of the bank. China will work with all parties to follow through on the outcomes and consensus achieved in the past, and make good use of existing mechanisms. Together, we must seize the historic opportunities of the new industrial revolution, explore new areas and models of practical cooperation, and enhance our links to ensure sustained and steady progress of the BRICS cooperation mechanism.

TIANJIN Cheap Air Max 180 , Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- World No. 3 in women's table tennis Zhu Yuling steered her Sichuan team to their first-ever gold medal at Chinese National Games here on Friday, but the losing side's Wang Manyu seems poised to be the future dominant player in the sport.
The famous table tennis reporter Gennaro Bozza from Italy questioned why would Wang choose to make a "suicide play" in her match-up with Zhu, referring to her rash hitting of the ball in the last two decisive points in the fourth set.
"If Wang remained calm in the closing moments, she can beat Zhu and Heilongjiang's last set can be won easily in Che Xiaoxi's meet against Guo Yan," said Bozza, who has covered all of the table tennis world championships since 1989 and all of the Chinese national championships since 1997.
Wang and Zhu's five-game showdown went in Wang's favor Cheap Air Max 120 , as she led throughout the deciding game, until Zhu caught up at 9-9. Zhu served the ball to see the match point, with Wang's return down the net f
