This is really a good moment, cause only 2 days back did France and Germany officially announced that they are out of recession

China,a country  which follows  strict measures on punishments  has now  decided to limit the number of executions that the country does.

Its been found out that, China is the only country that has a maximum number of executions when compared to other countries for any year.The limit in execution  step  is taken by the government considering the social activist continues objection and on humanitarian grounds, reports from china.

To find out the number of executions that the country does, the Chinese government gave the Supreme People’s Court (SPC)  power to check the death sentence issued by the lower court and review it. The SPC  which gained the power 2 years ago has  worked on each death punishments and suspended the death sentence for many of the cases. It reports that nearly 1700 people were executed in the year 2008 which is 72% of the world’s total execution done.

SPC  vice president Mr Zhang, quoted in the state-run China Daily, said legislation would be improved to reduce the number of death sentences, and that the SPC would tighten restrictions on the use of capital punishment.

He said: “As it is impossible for the country to abolish capital punishment under current realities and social security conditions, it is an important effort to strictly control the application of the penalty by judicial organs.”

Mr.Zhang  added further that , SPC  had been working to ensure that the death sentence was imposed only on those who had committed extremely serious or heinous crimes that led to grave social consequences.

The  relationship  between  Google’s  Chinese  portal  and  the China  government  is  little  hard  this  current  moment.  This  is  because  China  government  slams  Google  for  disseminating  pornographic  and  vulgar  information.

It  all  started  when  China  government  decided  to  eliminate  all porn  related  site  from its country. And as  an immediate  effect  from  the  China’s  Internet  Illegal  Information  Reporting  Centre (CIIRC), it  blocked  around  1001  websites  and  4ooo  more  websites    also  being  closed.

In  an  attempt  to  remove  porn  related  sites, China decided  to  add  a  Filtering  Software  in  all  the  PC’s  that  is  to  be  sold  in  the  country. Due  to  sudden  large  outcry  from the  public, China  government  later  clarified  that  the  software  will  be  fitted  in  the  computer  system  but  it is up to  the user  choice  whether  to  install  it  or  not.

The  Chinese  government  said  its  crackdown  on  Google -  and  other  major  websites -  was  to  tackle  the  “large  volume of  foreign  internet  pornographic  information  [that]  has  entered  our  borders”. Google  responded  in  a  statement,  saying  it  had  met  with  government  officials  to  discuss  issues  surrounding  its  Google.cn  service.

“We  are  undertaking  a  thorough  review  of  our  service  and  taking  all  necessary  steps  to  fix  any  problems  with  our  results,”  said  Google’s  communications  director,  John  Pinette,  in  a  statement.

It  is  estimated  that  the current  Internet  User  from  china  is equal  to  that  of  the total  USA  population.

Well to everyone surprise this open minded china man, instead of leaving her, told her actually he loved her more. He has now took the responsibility of money expense for the girl to do operation of sex change and marry her.

This incident  proves the saying  “Love is Blind”

The US now has 2532 confirmed cases of swine flu after a jump in figures in recent days official say. It is really a staggering increase, the cases are now up around 600 since Friday. This means the US has now surpassed Mexico as the most affected nation. In Mexico there are currently 1626 confirmed cases and it is trying to get back to normal but as far as US is concerned there is only three confirmed deaths whereas in Mexico there are at least 48 people who have died due to swine flu.

In Mexico people worked over the weekend to clean and disinfect primary schools which are due to resume classes after a two week break but this is not the same case in all the states in Mexico some states are planning on delaying the return to school for another week amid more suspected new cases.

Secondary schools and universities have already reopened last week as part of a gradual resumption of business after a shutdown of several days ordered by the Mexican government in a bid to stem the outbreak. Mexico was the first country where the outbreak of swine flu came to light. Globally now there are at least 4300 confirmed cases of swine flu across 30 different countries this includes China which on Monday reported its first case on the Chinese mainland.

Most of the cases in US has been mild with the third death being reported on Monday.

“More cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths from this outbreak will occur over the coming days and weeks, ” a CDC statement said.

“This increase in testing capacity is likely to result in an increase in the number of reported confirmed cases in this country which should provide a more accurate picture of the burden of disease in the United States,” the CDC said.
