WASHINGTON Cheap Nike Air VaporMax Plus , Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said in his first State of the Union address on Tuesday that he had signed an order to reexamine the U.S. military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.


"In the past, we have foolishly released hundreds of dangerous terrorists, only to meet them again on the battlefield -- including the ISIS leader, al-Baghdadi," Trump said. "So today, I am keeping another promise."


"When possible, we annihilate them. When necessary, we must be able to detain and question them. But we must be clear: Terrorists are not merely criminals. They are unlawful enemy combatants. And when captured overseas, they should be treated like the terrorists they are," he said.


Hundreds of detainees were transferred to sites in the United States or sent to their home countries under President Barack Obama, who failed to close the prison center.


Critics accused the center of having been plagued by crimes of torture.


BEIJING, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- China's top disciplinary watchdog on Wednesday named a number of grassroots officials implicated in abuse of poverty relief funds.


The eight cases involve bribe-taking, embezzlement of poverty relief funds and fraudulently obtaining subsistence allowance, the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a statement.


In one case, a township civil affairs official in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region embezzled about 1.73 million yuan (273,133 U.S. dollars) of subsistence allowance for the needy and lost 1.01 million yuan on gambling in 2016. The official was stripped of CPC membership and his public post, and the case has been transferred to judicial organs.


The fight against corruption and malpractice in poverty relief is a major task in the following three years, said the CCDI, ordering harsh punishments for officials implicated in misuse of poverty relief funds.


China has set 2020 as the target year to complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, which requires the lifting of all people above the poverty line -- per capita annual income of 2,300 yuan -- in rural areas.




BEIJING, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- South China's Hainan Province was criticized Tuesday by an inspection team of the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) for its failure to supervise land reclamation and control water pollution.


Hainan's reclaimed land was mainly used for tourism and real estate, putting pressure on the marine environment, said the SOA team that carried out inspection from Aug. 22 to Sept. 21.


The inspection team said that in 2008, Hainan violated the regulations on sea area use by delegating approval power to coastal cities and counties. The misconduct was not corrected until 2015.


Hainan also failed to protect marine nature reserves at provincial level, which were poorly managed, the team said.


The province did not pay enough attention to nearshore waters with excessive discharge of waste water commonly found.


The SOA team said that the island has 543 waste water drains into the sea, but only 26 were monitored by the province's environmental authority.


Hainan was also told to su
