BEIJING Cardinals Chad Williams Jersey , Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Growth in China's fixed-asset investment (FAI) continued to ease in the first 11 months of the year, data showed Thursday.


The FAI rose 7.2 percent year on year for January-November, slightly down from 7.3 percent during the first 10 months, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).


This marked growth deceleration for eight consecutive months. The pace was down from 8.3 percent during the same period of 2016.


NBS spokesperson Mao Shengyong said though FAI growth has eased further, its structure continues to optimize, with investment in sectors such as technological innovation and projects to improve people's livelihood maintaining fast expansion.


China still has scope for expanding investment, as many areas, including infrastructure Cardinals Budda Baker Jersey , public facilities, innovation and technological progress, require huge investment, he said.


On a monthly basis, the FAI edged up 0.53 percent in November from the previous month.


Infrastructure investment, which accounts for more than 20 percent of total FAI, surged 20.1 percent year on year for January-November, with the pace of growth accelerating from 19.6 percent for January-October.


For the first 11 months Cardinals Haason Reddick Jersey , high-tech manufacturing saw investment up by 15.9 percent, compared with 14.5 percent during the same period of 2016.


Private sector FAI grew 5.7 percent in the first 11 months, accounting for 60.5 percent of the total. The pace of growth cooled from 5.8 percent for January-October.


Investment in property development also expanded at a slower pace of 7.5 percent during the period, down from 7.8 percent in the first 10 months.




BEIJING, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- China's major industrial firms saw stronger profit growth in the first 10 months of this year, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Monday.


Industrial companies with annual revenue of more than 20 million yuan (about 3.03 million U.S. dollars) reported profits of 6.25 trillion yuan in the first 10 months, a 23.3-percent increase from one year earlier, the NBS said in a statement.


The growth marks a strong pick up from 22.8 percent in the first three quarters. In October alone Cardinals Christian Kirk Jersey , profits of major industrial firms rose 25.1 percent year on year, slowing down from 27.7 percent in September.


Among the 41 industries surveyed, 38 posted year-on-year profit growth during the first 10 months.


High-tech manufacturing and strategic emerging industrial enterprises reported faster growth during the ten-month period. The high-end equipment manufacturing and new material sectors saw profits up 29.3 percent and 29 percent, respectively, said the NBS.


Meanwhile, industries like coal, steel, chemicals and petroleum also recorded strong performance.


In the Jan.-Oct. period Cardinals Josh Rosen Jersey , combined new profit in the sectors of coal mining and washing, ferrous metal smelting and rolling, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing, as well as oil and natural gas exploitation accounted for 51.2 percent of the total profit increase.


"While industrial profits maintained a relatively fast growth, improvements were made in enterprise efficiency and profitability," NBS statistician He Ping said.


In the first 10 months, costs per 100 yuan of revenue dropped 0.26 yuan from the same period last year, while expenses per 100 yuan of revenue went down 0.25 yuan Cardinals Carson Palmer Jersey , according to He.


He mentioned that the leverage ratio at Chinese industrial enterprises, a measure of financial risks, also went down amid the government's ongoing deleveraging efforts. By the end of October, their debt-asset ratio dropped 0.5 percentage points from a year ago to 55.7 percent.




TOKYO, March 22 (Xinhua) -- A ship carrying 331 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium left a port in Ibaraki Prefecture, eastern Japan, on Tuesday en route to the United States.


The transportation of the highly pure plutonium, which has been confirmed as enough to make as many as 50 nuclear bombs Cardinals Patrick Peterson Jersey , follows a bilateral deal struck between Japan and the United States in 2014.


Originally, the plutonium was provided to Japan by Britain, France and the United States in the 1970s and was purportedly to be used for research purposes and was being stored by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency in Tokaimura, in Ibaraki.


Specifically, the United States provided 93 kg, Britain 236 kg and France 2kg. The total amount is enough to create between 40 to 50 atomic bombs, experts have maintained.


Japan agreed to return the plutonium at the request of U.S. President Barack Obama following a nuclear summit held in 2014, at which Obama asserted the United States wanted to more strictly control nuclear materials and prevent the possibility of them falling into the hands of terrorists.


Under maximum security and following an undisclosed route Cardinals Larry Fitzgerald Jersey , a British transport ship, called the Pacific Egret, left the port in Tokaimura where the plutonium will be shipped to the Savannah River Site nuclear facility in South Carolina, which is a U.S. government-run plant, where it will be disposed of to prevent its illicit use.


The shipment is the largest amount of plutonium to be moved by sea since 1993, when one ton of plutonium was shipped from France, again headed for Japan, to be used at a nuclear reactor here in Fukui Prefecture Cardinals Sam Bradford Jersey , located on Japan's Honshu island, which borders the Sea of Japan.


According to Japan's public broadcaster NHK, Japan currently has 47 tons of plutonium, both in and outside the country, created, apparently, as a by-product of reprocessing spent fuel from nuclear plants.


Japan has stated that it was planning to use its stockpile in a fast-breeder reactor that burns plutonium. However, the reactor is still in developmental stages and will not be online in the near future.
