More Suspects Detained

The Urumqi Public Security Bureau announced on July 29 a wanted list and photos of 15 suspects from the July 5 terrorist attack that left 197 people dead.

Police in Urumqi, the capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, also announced 40 suspects who had been detained, including 25 who had been arrested by police and another 15 who had been apprehended based on reports by citizens.

Police urged the remaining suspects to turn themselves in. Those who turn themselves in within 10 days will be granted leniency in their trials while those who do not will be punished severely, police said in an announcement.

Human Studies

Chinese anthropology and ethnology studies are embracing a surge in international exchanges and cooperation, experts said at a world conference opened in Kunming, capital city of southwest China's Yunnan Province, on July 27.

The 16th World Congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES), held for the first time in China since its inception in 1934, was described as "a milestone and a springboard" by Chinese anthropologists.

The IUAES congress, an event that happens every five years, drew more than 2,000 scholars and experts from all over the world. They attended 156 panel discussions to explore a broad range of issues including cultural diversity, AIDS, child trafficking, global aging, ethnicity, urban development, religions and linguistic evolution.

Nobel Experience

As part of a University of Western Australia (UWA) executive delegation, Nobel laureate Barry Marshall paid a visit to an international school in Beijing and shared with teachers and students his journey to become a Nobel Prize winner.

Marshall answered questions from both students and local media after delivering a speech. According to the host, the National Institute of Technology, it was the first time that a Nobel laureate visited a Chinese school to talk with middle school students face to face. The high-profile event shows the school's educational concept involves a global outlook, said school principal Lydia Liu.

In 2005, Marshall and Professor Robin Warren proved that the bacterial species Helicobacter pylori is the cause of most stomach ulcers. The find won that year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Classics to Be Translated

A team of international experts is to translate the Five Classics or Wujing, the essential books of Confucianism studies, into nine foreign languages.

The five books are: Yijing (Classic of Changes), Shijing (Classic of Poetry), Liji (Classic of Rites), Shujing (Classic of History) and Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn Annals).

Until now, there have been no comprehensive foreign language translations of these books.

The foreign experts will first spend three-and-a-half years completing the Chinese-to-English version, on which translations into French, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and Malay will be based.
