BEIJING http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/billige-vans-nintendo-slip-on-pure-hvid.html , Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- China's property market remained largely stable in December with home prices edging down slightly in major cities amid tough purchase restrictions, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Thursday.
On a monthly basis, new residential housing prices in first-tier cities stayed unchanged in December from November, and second-hand home prices went down 0.1 percent.
In contrast, the property market in second- and third-tier cities is showing signs of picking up, with new residential housing prices gaining 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-toy-story-sort-vans-sko-udsalg.html , respectively, from a month earlier, NBS data showed.
New residential home prices went down on a yearly basis in nine of the 15 major cities, considered the "hottest markets." On a month-on-month basis, new residential housing prices fell in four of the 15 cities, while Beijing http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-toy-story-old-skool-hvid-vans-sko-old-skool.html , Hangzhou and Hefei saw prices flat with November.
NBS statistician Liu Jianwei said that housing prices stayed generally stable in major cities as differentiated control policies continued to take effect.
The data provide evidence that government cooling measures to prevent asset bubbles in the property market are producing the desired outcomes.
China's housing market last year had a red hot start with soaring prices in some major cities, but ended on a cool note after local governments rolled out a string of restrictive measures echoing the central government's call that housing is for living in, not for speculation.
About 110 cities and government agencies introduced more than 270 restrictions to tame the housing market, with Beijing implementing over 30 cooling policies, according to Centaline Property.
A statement released after the Central Economic Work Conference last December said that China will maintain policy consistency and continuity and adopt differentiated property policies in 2018.
BEIJING, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- China will expand a pilot project nationwide this year to ensure all criminal cases to have defense lawyers http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/herre-vans-sk8-hi-reissue-udsalg-flade-rod.html , said a report on Friday's China Daily.
The project will assign criminal defense lawyers to represent defendants in criminal cases who do not have lawyers to protect their human rights, said Zhou Yuansheng, director of the Department of Directing Lawyers and Notarization with the Ministry of Justice, the newspaper said.
In October, the Supreme People's Court and the ministry decided to conduct the pilot program for all criminal defense cases in eight provinces and municipalities, including Beijing http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-sk8-hi-slim-leather-tilbud-hvid-vans.html , Shanghai, Zhejiang, Henan and Guangdong.
"We will expand the program across the country this year, after summing up successful experiences from the pilot programs," said Zhou, adding that after the new measures are in place http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-sk8-hi-reissue-sort-vans-sko-denmark.html , there will be an estimated increase of 400,000 criminal defense cases each year.
Data provided by the ministry show that since October, courts in Zhejiang's Hangzhou, Ningbo and Wenzhou have accepted a total of 2,007 free legal aid cases, including 733 criminal defendants who were assigned lawyers providing free legal services http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-old-skool-hvid-guld-old-skool-vans-tilbud.html , accounting for 36.52 percent, according to the newspaper.
"Providing a full criminal defense to accused people -- a major incentive to promote judicial reform -- has played an essential role in safeguarding the suspects' legitimate rights and effectively avoids miscarriages of justice," Zhou said.
The newspaper said, citing Zhou, that the pilot areas should improve support systems and adopt effective measures to protect legitimate rights of criminal defense lawyers, while standardizing their professional behavior.

The French-Canadian pop punk band is back.
After their sold-out 2012 and 2013 tours of China http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-old-skool-sort-old-skool-vans-tilbud.html , the members of Simple Plan are coming back to rock China once again, this time performing their latest album at the Huiyuan Space in Beijing on August 28 and the Mixing Room in Shanghai on August 30 and 31.
In addition to fresh hits from their new album, the tour is also "a greatest hits concert" that will bring back old classics, the band's lead vocalist Pierre Bouvier told the Global Times in an e-mail interview.
Concert tickets are now available by phone or online with prices ranging from 288 to 588 yuan ($43-88).
New voyage
From the catchy reggae-styled "Singing in the Rain" to the slow-tempo of "Perfectly Perfect," their latest album Taking One for the Team, their first in five years and their fifth since their 1999 debut http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-old-skool-pro-sort-old-skool-vans-denmark.html , shows the group's ambitions to shake up their characteristic pop punk style.
However, taking a new path hasn't been easy.
"It was a little bit long," wrote rhythm guitarist Sébastien Lefebvre.
"We are not the kind of band that puts out albums quickly just to get back on tour, as you have noticed.
"We want to make sure that every song on the album could be someone's favorite. And with that in mind, we want to make sure the essence of SP is in there, and we also want to try new things."
Still seen as a "pop punk band http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/denmark-dame-vans-old-skool-hvid-rainbow.html ," "rock group" or "punk rock revivalists," Simple Plan is still the band we know despite these changes - happy, lively and exciting.
"It's a reference to the fact that being in a band is very similar to being on a sports team.
