[Photo/Xinhua] BEIJING -- The Taiwan exhibition at the upcoming Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition covers 2,000 square meters, with six sections featuring the island region's unique landscapes, said Ma Xiaoguang, the spokesperson with the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, at a press conference Wednesday. The expo scheduled to open on April 29 will last 162 days, displaying a huge collection of plants, flowers and eye-catching pavilions as well as ideas for green development at home and abroad. From April 16 to 20, delegations from Taiwan's Yilan, Taitung, and Hualien counties visited Jiangsu province and Shanghai to promote tourism and farm produce, according to Ma. The counties have reached more than 10 collaboration outcomes with Jiangsu and Shanghai on tourism, agricultural cooperation, and farm produce purchases, he said. Ma stressed that visits of local Taiwan officials to the mainland complied with demand of the public on the island as it was in the public interest to strengthen exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait, develop the economy and improve the public wellbeing. We are willing to, on the basis of upholding the 1992 Consensus, continue carrying out exchanges and cooperation on various areas with counties and cities in Taiwan, he said. black rubber bracelets meaningwristband designcheap silicone wristbands ukcheap custom made silicone wristbandscoloured wristbands
A file photo of Chinese underwater glider Haiyan [Photo/CCTV] TIANJIN -- Haiyan, a Chinese underwater glider, has set an endurance record among its domestic peers after working for 119 days in the South China Sea. Codenamed Haiyan, which means storm petrel in Chinese, the glider was safely recovered from the northern part of the South China Sea Monday. The glider, developed by a team from Tianjin University, sailed 2,272.4 km over four months, a domestic record. In April, Haiyan set a world dive record by diving 8,213 meters in the Mariana Trench, the world's deepest known trench. The unmanned gliders can survey marine conditions, such as temperature, salinity and currents, in large bodies of water over a long period of time. wristbands for eventspersonalized mens braceletsrubber band loom bracelet patternsgym rubber braceletspalestine silicone wristband<%2fcenter>
