US charges Indian diplomat
美国正式对印度外交官判罪
The Indian diplomat whose arrest and strip search in the U.S. sparked a major rift between the two countries has been formally indicted. Devyani Khobragade's accused of visa fraud and lying about underpaying a domestic worker. At the same time she was given diplomatic immunity and told to leave the country. India's foreign ministry says she's been given a new job back home.
在美国被捕并被裸搜引发两国外交风波的印度外交官被正式判罪。科布拉加德(Devyani Khobragade)被指控签证申请欺诈以及谎报家庭保姆非法低薪雇工。同时，她获得了外交豁免权，被告知立即离开美国。印度外交部表示已安排好她回国后的新工作。
SOUNDBITE (English) SPOKESPERSON OF INDIA'S FOREIGN MINISTRY, SYED AKBARUDDIN, SAYING: "The U.S government requested the Government of India to waive the immunity of counsellor (Devyani) Khobragade. On 9th January 2014, the Government of India declined to do so and transferred counsellor Khobragade to the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi. She has since departed for home."
印度外交部发言人阿克巴鲁丁(Syed Akbaruddin)：“美国政府要求印度政府放弃科布拉加德领事的豁免权。2014年1月9日，印度政府拒绝了该要求，将科布拉加德领事转移至新德里对外事务部。自那时起她已启程回国。”
Khobragade was deputy consul-general in New York when she was arrested in December. The incident ignited a series of protests in India. The U.S. request for her to leave the country appeared to be part of a deal to ease the resulting diplomatic crisis.
12月份被捕时，科布拉加德(Devyani Khobragade)担任印度驻纽约领事馆副领事长。该事件引发了印度一系列抗议活动。美国对她立即离境的要求似乎是缓解该事件引发的外交危机的协议的一部分。

CCTV9:2013年度通胀率回落 低于预期水平
China's annual inflation rate slows
2013年度通胀率回落 低于预期水平
China's annual inflation rate slowed more than expected last year, and is far below the government's upper limit of 3.5 percent.
China's inflation rate fell to a seven month low of 2.5 percent in December, from the previous month's 3 percent. The number is also below the market expectation of 2.7%, easing fears of tighter monetary policy. China's inflation was 2.6 percent for the year of 2013, well within the government's target limit of 3.5%.
However, inflation may quicken in coming months as the government pushes market-oriented reforms to liberalize energy and utility prices. Many predict that CPI growth this year will be much higher than last year.
Food prices rose 4.1 percent in December from a year earlier, slowing from November's 5.9 percent rise.
Month-on-month, consumer prices rose 0.3 percent versus 0.4 percent expected by economists.
"From the CPI trend in 2013 we can see that the lowest month was 2%, the highest was 3.2 percent. Not a very large difference. So the trend in 2013 was very stable," Liu Jiawei, analyst of NBRC, says.
Rising money market rates and bond yields indicate the central bank is tightening liquidity conditions to reduce debt levels and contain credit risks.
Analysts say, modest inflation pressure will allow policymakers to continue focusing on policies to support growth while implementing reforms.
"The new government is very clear with its prudent monetary policy stance. They will not increase liquidity massively, but there is little sign of a sharp turnaround in its policy," Niu Li, Head of Macro Econ. Research of China National Information Center, says.
Going forward, analysts expect January figures to exceed 3 percent due to the Chinese New Year.
The upcoming pricing reforms could cause an increase in commodity and public utility prices, which will push up CPI in the second half of 2014.
CCTV9:2009年以来巧克力销量上涨40%
KPMG: China's chocolate sales up 40% since 2009
2009年以来巧克力销量上涨40%
China is one of the world's lowest consumers of Chocolate - but this is changing fast. Market studies show chocolate sales in China have surged dramatically, opening new opportunities for chocolatiers - and contributing to a rise in global cocoa prices.
Rich and creamy, chocolate has had a bittersweet history in China where dairy products are not part of the traditional diet.
According to Euromonitor, Chinese are still among the world’s lowest consumers of chocolate.
Reporter: "The average Chinese consumer eats just 100 grams of chocolate a year. That’s about the size of one standard chocolate bar (holding up bar). The average Japanese chocolate lover eats 11 times more and the average German eats 82 times more. But as Chinese incomes rise and their desire to try new things grows, their appetite for chocolate is catching up."
With a population of 1.3 billion, even the small rise in demand per person, has led China’s chocolate sales to surge. In 2012, accounting firm, KPMG, reported China’s chocolate sales had climbed 40 percent over the previous three years.
"I enjoy chocolate, but I don’t eat it too often, I’m scared of getting fat. I like dark chocolate, they say it’s healthy.
I buy it twice a month to share with my children, as a treat."
This is opening up new opportunities for foreign chocolatiers. Belgian chocolate-maker, Godiva, said it planned to have 50 stores in China by the end of 2013, up from 36 the year before. While French chocolatier, DeNeuville, is bringing classic cocoa butter chocolates to the Chinese capital.
"We are - if I’m not wrong - we are the first official, real French chocolate brand in Beijing, not to mention China. We wanted to go somewhere different, to test the ground. And I hope our shop will open more shops around China and also Hong Kong." Roland Ngoc Wu, managing director of De Neuville Chocolat Francais, said.
But developing China’s chocolate market isn’t easy.
"It will take a few years. Not one year, not two years, but many years of hard work. For example, one of the difficulties we have experienced so far is in pacakaging. In France, chocolate is a daily good for eating - but here it’s a gift. So when we came to China, we had to adapt, because people like the larger box, with grand design." Wu said.
Another challenge is rising costs. With growing demand from emerging markets like China - and lower cocoa harvests in Africa- cocoa prices are steadily climbing.
"It’s a big concern, because at the moment prices are going up on average more than 10 percent ever year, soon will be double that rate. But we try to keep it as stable as possible at the retail level. Yes the price increases, but we try to save on other things." Wu said.
With Chinese New Year around the corner many families will share treats and feasts, giving chocolate sales another boost.
