China is taking the first step by opening up its coal mines to foreign companies. The move comes following years of efforts by a coal-mining group to expand its operations to include more coal mines, but a lack of interest in the mines from the local government.

On Monday, the Chinese government approved the construction출장 of 10 new coal mines in the northwestern province of Wenzhou, according to Xinhua News Agency. The new mines will be built at an undisclosed location.

China’s state-owned Xin김해출장안마 김해출장샵hua News Agency said in a report that the project is part of an ambitious coal mi일산안마 일산출장마사지ning expansion plan aimed at increasing production. The Xinhua report quoted China’s Coal Corporation (CC) chief Wang Xinliang as saying that the new coal mines will bring about “new opportunities and the development of industry.”

A report in the Beijing News revealed in August that China has been closing more coal mines than planned. While Chinese government statistics revealed the number of coal mines closed nationwide was roughly 2,600 on average in 2011, state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that the number of projects in China that were set for closure rose to 1,750, the highest on record.

The report noted that China was closing mines due to the economic slowdown in the country and declining coal output from the country. The report pointed out that with the loss of mining income, the government was also forced to spend more on other social welfare programs including welfare, pensions and housing. The report pointed out that the government is facing a financial crisis due to “weak domestic production, underinvestment in the manufacturing sector, excessive financing, and the need for additional stimulus,” it said.

Licensing changes to boost wine promotion in US

Posted

As the US prepares to celebrate its wi바카라ne year, New York wine experts say the state is going too far in pursuing licensing changes for large producers.

Key points: New York aims to boost wine promotion in US

US state-run wine companies are already getting licences to market their products to consumers in China, Japan and South Korea

Opposition to industry changes could cost New York the right to sell some wines

In November 2016, New York State’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DAC) ordered three large wine companies to remove “dispaapronxraging content” from their wines that did not fit the department’s definition of “marketed under a specific brand”.

They were accused of not offering “substandard wi바카라nes, or wines that were sold under deceptive branding”.

In the wake of the decision, the state’s leading wine companies, including New York’s Crespi, have sought to use the same principle in their marketing of wines in the US.

This year, Crespi is promoting its Chardonnay wine and Sonja Rosin wines as being among its biggest sales ever.

The wine is marketed under a label which includes words such as Chardonnay, Rosin and Bordeaux Blanc.

Opposition to the new laws has not been shy, even in New York where opposition to big corporate moves has already led to a public boycott of some of its wines.

Last December, the US trade representative said New York’s wine industry should be subject to a “more open and competitive environment” in order to attract more foreign-owned wine companies to the state.

“If New York is going to be the hub of the wine world, you need to give them more breathing room,” Wine Federation President Paul Buss said.

“You’re going to have to stop the bleeding from these producers because they’re getting a lot more dollars than they’re getting out of New York wine.”

But critics say New York’s industry may not be getting enough breathing room.

Crespi spokesman Steve O’Brien said in an emailed statement: “We have been advised to change our ‘Disparaging Content’ label to a brand-neutral, ‘Not applicable’ label.”

‘It’s the right of every New Yorker’

Mr O’Brien said that “the label change allows us to communicate effectively and appropriately to our consumers and to customers.
