Premier Li Keqiang (R) meets with visiting French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 24, 2017. [Photo/Xinhua] China is ready to work with France in a joint and positive effort to deal with climate change while maintaining multilateralism and an inclusive world economy, Premier Li Keqiang said. Li spoke when meeting with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Friday. Li said relations between China and France have been advancing well, and China puts strategic emphasis on Sino-French ties and is willing to work with France to advance bilateral ties with a healthy and stable development momentum. He said China is willing to enhance cooperation with France in areas including civilian nuclear energy. China supports European integration and hopes cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries will boost balanced development of the European Union, Li said. Le Drian also met with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, and they jointly talked to reporters. Wang said the two countries are ready to seek common ground while maintaining differences, and are preparing for French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to China in early 2018. Wang said the key lesson from the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue in the past two decades is that when confrontation and misunderstanding persist, all stakeholders miss the chance for a peaceful dialogue. The pressing task is to fully implement decisions made by the UN Security Council and spare no efforts to start consultation on the issue as soon as possible, Wang said. fabric festival wristbandsdesign rubber braceletsmake your own rubber braceletcustom livestrong bracelets24 hour wristbands coupon1 inch wide rubber bandscheap custom wristbandscustom fidget
BEIJING -- China's first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou 1, completed an automated fast-docking with Tiangong II space lab at 11:58 pm Tuesday. Controlled from Earth, Tianzhou 1 began to approach Tiangong II at 5:24 pm Tuesday and it took six and a half hours to complete the fast-docking with the space lab. It was the third docking between the two spacecraft using fast-docking technology. Previously, it took about two days to dock. The experiment tested the cargo spacecraft's capability of fast-docking, laying a foundation for future space station building. Tianzhou 1 was launched on April 20 from South China's Hainan province, and it completed the first and second docking with the orbiting Tiangong II space lab on April 22 and June 19, respectively. The cargo spacecraft will conduct the third refueling of the space lab before returning to Earth. The two spacecraft completed their first in-orbit refueling on April 27 and their second in-orbit refueling on June 15. China is the third country, after Russia and the United States, to master refueling techniques in space, which is crucial in the building of a permanent space station. Tiangong II, which was sent into space on Sept 15, 2016, is China's first space lab "in the strict sense" and a key step in building a permanent space station. Cargo ships play a crucial role maintaining a space station and carrying supplies and fuel into orbit.
