CHENGDU, July 28 (Xinhua) -- A "panda express" subway line is to be launched in Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, Sunday. The line, which will run from the southwest to northeast of the city, is 20 kilometers long and has 17 stops, passing through various major tourist destinations in the city, including the Chengdu Giant Panda Base, the city zoo, and Chunxi Road, a major shopping street. A panda-themed train will also be in operation, with all compartments, seats, and screens decorated with panda patterns. Chengdu is speeding up its subway construction, with five new lines scheduled to start construction this year, according to Rao Yong, general manager of Chengdu Subway Service Co. Ltd. LONDON, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- An ambitious drive to double the number of Welsh speakers in Wales to one million was announced Monday by the region's first minister Carwyn Jones. Jones unveiled the plan at the 2016 Eisteddfod, the festival of song and music taking place in the Welsh town of Abergavenny. The Welsh government wants to increase the number of people learning and able to use the language with their families, in their communities and in the workplace by the year 2050. It recognizes the need for the government to lead the conversation but also work in partnership with other institutions and organisations towards making the Welsh language central to public life in Wales. A consultation will be run until the end of October to seek public opinion on the plan. "Since devolution we have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to preserving and growing the language. In 2011 we introduced legislation to protect the future of the language, and we are confident the discussion we are launching today will continue to help us grow the language so it thrives as a vibrant, living part of our communities," Jones said. "It is vital we support our most important resource, namely our people. We need to continue to support people to use the language in increasingly practical, creative and fun ways. Our language influences music, stories, traditions and daily life," he said. Alun Davies, the Welsh Government's minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language, said: "We want everyone to have the opportunity to learn through the medium of Welsh both from early years right through to higher education." Jamie Bevan, chairman of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg, the Welsh language society, told local media: "Welsh as a vibrant community language is on its knees. We're losing 3,000 speakers a year at the moment." The last census in 2011 revealed the number of Welsh speakers in the region of 3 million people saw a drop of 20,000 compared to the previous census in 2001. Welsh language is on the curriculum at junior schools and all public, and road signs in Wales are bi-lingual in Welsh and English. Enditem by Xinhua writer Li Ming NEW YORK [url=http://www.seahawksfanaticproshop.com/jarran-reed-seahawks-jersey/]Jarran Reed Seahawks Jersey[/url] , Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- China has outperformed other countries in financial technology (fintech) services adoption and what is happening in China indicates the global trend of the emerging industry, U.S. experts say. "The work in China has been dramatically ahead of anywhere else in the world," said Jim Bruene, founder of Finovate conferences, which showcase cutting-edge banking and financial technology. With more intelligent, in-context financial services, especially commerce activities built around social media applications, "China is likely five or six years ahead of the United States," Bruene told Xinhua on Thursday on the sidelines of Finovate's fall conference which was held on Sept. 11-14. The latest report by Ernst & Young showed that China's fintech adoption rate came at 69 percent in an index that measures users' activity in various areas, including money transfer, payments, investments, borrowing and insurance, the highest among 20 major markets globally. In mobile payments alone, volume in China hit 5.5 trillion U.S. dollars last year, 50 times the size of the 122-billion-U.S.-dollar market in the United States, according to data from market research firms iResearch and Forrester respectively. Bruene, a veteran of U.S. Bank's research and development department, noted that what happens in Chinese market is a "leap forward," meaning China did not go through some of the traditional banking systems in the United States and went right towards electronics. "We are still spending billions of tax payers' money in delivering paper statements and checks ... while the story in China is really big and amazing," he said, referring to the fact that over 500 million people in China make purchases of goods and financial services via Alipay and Wechat Pay, two major third-party mobile payment tools in the country. Wechat Pay, the e-payment platform built inside the 900-million-user Chinese social media application Wechat, is seen as the future of fintech services by many experts. "Messaging is the next web browser, fintech and all other applications are going to live in a mobile messaging application like Wechat, just like how they lived in web browsers," said Greg Ratner, co-founder and chief technology officer of Troops, a U.S. artificial intelligence startup. "It is going to be the future and is already happening in China. And I think it will come to the United States in the next five years," Ratner told Xinhua. 1st direct freight train service linking E China, Duisburg launched London subway station blast being treated as terrorist incident Exhibition held during National Mass Innovation Entrepreneurship Week Yongtai Turtle Town brings you back to Ming Dynasty Special snacks displayed during 14th China-ASEAN Expo Scenery of paddy fields in Baicheng, NE China's Jilin China Focus: World's oldest panda d.
