The top official in the Tibet autonomous region praised the friendship and cooperation between China and Ukraine in a meeting in Lhasa with a delegation from Ukraine recently.Wu Yingjie, the region's Party secretary, said he appreciated the Ukrainian government's resolute adherence to the one-China policy.He emphasized that China is a unified, multiethnic country and that Tibet has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times.Wu said Tibet was a feudal society before and most of the means of production belonged to a group made up only 5 percent of the region's population."Thanks to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Tibet has achieved peaceful liberation and established a socialist system, stepping forward to a bright future through deepening reform," he said.In the past five years, the central government has invested nearly 1 trillion yuan ($157 billion) to support several major projects in Tibet and promoted a series of preferential policies to support the region's development, Wu said.The per capita disposable income in rural parts of the region is now more than 10,000 yuan, compared with just over 3,000 yuan in 2008.He said Tibet is enjoying the best period of development in its history, with improved infrastructure, social progress and cultural richness. People's freedom of religious belief is respected and the system of regional ethnic autonomy has been fully implemented, Wu said.He said the delegation was welcome to stay in Tibet for longer to experience its social development and take a real picture of the region back to people of Ukraine.Viktor Yelensky, a member of the Ukrainian parliament who led the delegation, congratulated Tibet on its remarkable economic and social development.He said the friendship between Ukraine and China has a long history and that the two countries' cooperation in all fields has borne fruit.He said Ukraine will continue to support the one-China policy, adding that he hopes the visit will deepen understanding of the region and strengthen the two countries' friendship, contributing to future cooperation. printed-wristbandcreate your own silicone wristbandrubber wristbands custom cheapfunny silicone wristbandsdebossed-wristband
BEIJING - China has created the world's first medical instrument that can induce, culture and screen stem cells automatically, benefiting the development of regenerative medicine.The instrument, developed by the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with independent intellectual property rights, makes the large-scale culture of stem cells possible.Scientists around the world are looking for "keys" that enable humans to regrow tissue or organs lost due to illness or injury, like a gecko can regrow a tail.Stem cells can self-renew or multiply while maintaining the potential to develop into other types of cells. They can become cells of the blood, heart, bones, skin, muscle, brain or other body parts. They are valuable research tools and might in future be used to treat a wide range of ailments.Previously, inducing, culturing and screening stem cells could only be achieved manually, which lacked uniform standards and was inefficient, costly and unsafe, restricting the wide application of stem cells in regenerative medicine."Distinguishing stem cell from other cells is like picking out a needle in a haystack. It's an arduous work to do manually. The efficiency of the newly invented equipment is equivalent to that of 24 technicians," said Pan Guangjin, vice president of the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health.Chinese scientists spent four years developing the instrument. Previously almost all of the country's high-end life-science instruments were imported from the United State and Europe. 80s rubber braceletscheap silicone wristbands ukmedical id silicone wristbandsrubber wristbandsfigured-wristband<%2fcenter>
