MOGADISHU, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Somali army, alongside the African Union troops, killed at least eight Al-Shabaab militants in the south-central Bay region on Tuesday.
Regional minister for militia rehabilitation in Southwest State, Hussein Hassan Mohamed, told reporters that a senior Al-Shabaab official was among those killed in the operation in Qansax-Dheere location, south of Baidoa town.
"They (the militants) attempted to make resistance, but we overpowered them and killed eight of the terrorists including a senior official whose name is Hassan Ganey," Hassan said, adding the joint forces suffered no casualties.
The operation came a day after Al-Shabaab militants killed three government soldiers in an ambush in an area close to Baidoa town, the administrative capital of Southwest State.
Based in southern Somalia, the Al-Shabaab Islamist group carries out periodic attacks in the country.
TOKYO, April 25 (Xinhua) -- The Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee decided on a new official emblem on Monday, seven months after an initial design was scrapped due to plagiarism accusations.
The new emblem, a checkered pattern in "the traditional Japanese color of indigo blue", was designed by 46-year-old Tokyo-based artist Asao Tokolo.
It was chosen from a shortlist of four after some 14,599 entries were submitted in a contest open to the public.
Yoshiro Mori, chief of the organizing committee, said the committee had met 15 times since last September to decide on the new emblem.
The previous logo by Japanese artist Kenjiro Sano was scrapped last September over plagiarism accusations due to its similarity to the logo of a theater in Belgium.
Surging investment by Chinese companies in U.S. research labs is yielding a fast-growing trove of patents Cheap Ramon Foster Jersey , part of a push to mine America for ideas to help China shift from being the world's factory floor to a driver of innovation.
Largely absent from American research hubs a decade ago, Chinese firms including Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corp are now using U.S. researchers to create patents ranging from new software to internet infrastructure, according to an analysis of Thomson Reuters' global intellectual property database.
The rapid growth in China's U.S. investments will be a key topic at economic and security talks on Tuesday and Wednesday between top U.S. and Chinese officials in Washington.
They are negotiating a bilateral investment treaty that could deepen ties between the world's two largest economies even amid tensions over China's military assertiveness.
Even without a treaty Cheap David DeCastro Jersey , China is pouring capital into U.S. research as well as buying other assets. While its firms are still newcomers to investing in America and few work on the technological frontier, the Thomson Reuters data offers a glimpse of the advanced economy China aspires to build.
Patented inventions by Chinese firms that involved at least one U.S. researcher roughly doubled worldwide in each of the last three years, reaching 910 in 2014.
"We have established a beachhead Cheap Mike Mitchell Jersey ," said Vincent Xiang, who heads international investment at Humanwell Healthcare Group, a Chinese drug company that has put over $50 million into a New Jersey subsidiary that employs dozens of U.S. researchers.
Rather than compete with powerhouses like U.S. drug maker Merck to invent blockbuster medicines Cheap Jordan Berry Jersey , Humanwell's U.S. researchers are making smaller refinements such as figuring out how to administer some drugs as pills rather than injections.
Humanwell's New Jersey researchers have won approval on four patents so far in the United States and European Union, Xiang said. There are advantages to setting up labs in the U.S., where there are over 800 Cheap Alejandro Villanueva Jersey ,000 people with research doctoral degrees in science, engineering, and health.
"Without access to innovation Cheap Chris Boswell Jersey , it is hard to win in the domestic market," said Xiang.
A SMALL BUT GROWING PLAYER
And yet, direct investment between the United States and China is remarkably low considering the size of their economies Cheap Stephon Tuitt Jersey , and the fruits of China's U.S. R&D are similarly modest compared with the vast quantities of patents that emerge from America every year.
The cumulative stock of foreign direct investment in China from the United States makes up just over 1 percent of the FDI sunk into Chinese businesses by all nations, according to U.S. government data. Most FDI in China comes from other Asian countries.
China's share of America's FDI stock is even smaller, but it has been growing rapidly in recent years as Beijing has eased restrictions on outward investment.
That is helping Chinese companies sink more money into a range of advanced economies. The Thomson Reuters data also shows a sharp increase in recent years in patents by Chinese firms using German and Japanese researchers."This is a change in China's economic development model Cheap Eli Rogers Jersey ," said Thilo Hanemann, who helps maintain a database on Chinese FDI at the Rhodium Group, a New York consultancy. "They want to move from an economy driven by domestic investment and exports to one driven by consumption Cheap Jesse James Jersey , technology and services."
Annual flows of Chinese FDI into the United States have gone from tens or hundreds of millions of dollars per year between 2000 and 2009 to $14.3 billion in 2013 and $11.9 billion in 2014, according to Rhodium Group figures, which are widely cited because they track China's investments made via third countries such as Singapore.
That is now approaching the annual flows from America's traditional sources of FDI: advanced countries such as Germany and Canada who continue to mine much more knowledge from Americans than does China. German companies extracted 1 Cheap Anthony Chickillo Jersey ,416 patents last year using U.S. researchers.
China already publishes more patent applications than any other country, altho. http://www.wholesalemlbjerseysforcheap.com/ Wholesale Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap Cheap MLB Jerseys Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys |
