Remains of jet crash victims repatriated The bodies of three people that died in the Taiwan plane crash were transported to Xiamen on Monday, the first of the deceased to be repatriated* after a TransAsia Airlines crash, which killed at least 40 people. The remains of the three Chinese mainland victims, accompanied by relatives, departed for Xiamen in southeastern Fujian Province from Taiwan’s Taoyuan Airport. The families of the other 26 mainland victims have yet to decide if their relatives will be cremated in Taiwan. Cyber accounts regulated The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) on February 3 issued a regulation banning the use of malicious* content, such as avatars* and account handles, across all Internet services. The 10-clause CAC regulation says that avatars and account handles should not include information that violates the Constitution or the country’s laws; subverts* State power; undermines national security and sovereignty; or is deemed rumormongering*. Malicious content includes the promotion of cults and the dissemination* of pornography or extremism, among others, according to the regulation. Nine detained over fire Nine people have been detained over a fire in South China’s Guangdong Province that killed 17 people, local authorities said on February 6. The fire broke out at about 1:51 p.m. on February 5 in a warehouse* on the fourth floor of a small wholesale market in Huidong County, Huizhou. Huizhou police said on their Weibo account that “the fire was caused by a 9-year-old boy playing with fire at the mall.” Non-polluting firecrackers Chinese revelers may have the hard choice of deciding between protecting the environment or protecting tradition as they prepare fireworks displays for the upcoming Spring Festival. But a man from Central China’s Henan Province has devised an invention that could allow them to do both. Wang Xinming created a non-polluting firecracker to help people protect the environment.(SD-Agencies) |
