BEIJING - China has lodged representations with the Republic of Korea (ROK) over the delivery of four more US missile defense system mobile launchers to the ROK. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying made the above remarks Thursday at a daily press briefing, saying that China has expressed its serious concerns and solemn position over the issue to the ROK. "We strongly urge the United States and the ROK to immediately halt the deployment and withdraw the THAAD system," she said. Four mobile launchers were brought into the ROK in addition to the two units that had already been deployed as part of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. The US deployment of THAAD in the ROK seriously undermines China's strategic security interests and disrupts the strategic balance in the region, according to Hua. She said that the THAAD deployment is not conducive to the goal of denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and runs counter to efforts to solve the issue through dialogue and consultation. create your own wristbandpersonalized rubber bracelets24hourwristbandsbride tribe wristbands24 hour wristbands coupon24 hour bracelets
BEIJING - Chinese cyber police and leading tech firm Baidu have launched an online service to control the spread of rumors. The service is imbedded into the country's top search engine, and all news portals and online forums that Baidu operates. Baidu said the company used big data, natural language processing and artificial intelligence technology to gather suspicious messages on the Internet and forward them to the institutes, experts, and the police to verify. The company will help them write stories to dispell the rumors and send that information to a target audience. Internet users will also be warned of Baidu search results that contain suspicious messages. Baidu vice president Wang Lu said the company's search engine received nearly 3 billion requests to verify suspicious claims. Closer collaboration between the tech company and police will bring the dangers of false information down to a minimum, he said. Baidu said it would build a database with up to 1 million verified rumors and share the information accordingly.
