Thai protesters force PM to flee election meeting
泰国抗议者强迫总理离开选举会议
Riot police stand guard in front of an air force compound. Inside Thailand's acting prime minister is meeting with the Election Commission to fix a date for a new election. The meeting however was cut short as hundreds of protesters seeking to oust the government streamed through a side entrance of the compound forcing the premier and other ministers to leave. This is the latest disruption in setting up polls that the government hopes will break six months of political stalemate. They had put off talks at another venue a day earlier because of security fears. The government sees a general election as the best way out of a crisis. But some protesters disagree.
防暴警察在一座空军建筑外守护着 。在里面,泰国代理总理正在与选举委员会召开会议,确定新选举的日期 。然而,由于试图推翻政府的数百名抗议者通过侧门进入建筑,迫使总理和其他部长离开,会议被打断 。这是政府希望能够打破六个月的政治僵局的选举确立过程又一次被扰乱 。此前一天,出于安全隐患,他们推迟了在另一地点举行的会谈 。政府认为大选是走出危机的最佳方式 。但是一些抗议者不赞同 。
(SOUNDBITE)(Thai) UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER SAYING: "They don't have any rights to set up an election. It depends on the people, they have to ask the people. The government talked about their duty but they never asked about the people who died. They never asked and never mentioned it."
未透露姓名的抗议者:“他们没有任何权利举行选举 。一切取决于民众,他们必须询问民众的意愿 。政府总是谈论自己的责任,但是他们从未问过因此而牺牲的民众的意愿 。他们从未问过,也从未提过 。”
Three people were killed and at least 21 wounded in an explosion near an anti-government protest site. It was the most serious incident in long-running protests since five people were killed and dozens wounded in clashes on February 18, when police made their most determined effort to clear demonstrators.
一个反政府抗议地点附近发生爆炸事件,3人死亡,至少21人受伤 。这是自2月18日警方清理示威者最强势的行动造成5人死亡,数十人受伤以来,持续已久的抗议活动中最严重的事故 。

Income distribution reform to kick off
贫富差距加大 收入分配改革即将实施
China’s top economic planner is to lead a reform in income distribution, approved by the State Council. The National Development and Reform Commission, or NDRC, will head an inter-ministry joint conference regime to help push forward the reform. The focus will be on studying major issues in income distribution, and drafting relevant policies. The aim is to establish a reasonable and orderly income distribution regime, and to narrow the wealth gap. Other government bodies such as the ministries of human resources, civil affairs and finance are also participating.
CCTV9:美联储官员对中国经济表示乐观
Former Fed chief economist positive on Chinese economy
美联储官员对中国经济表示乐观
The Chinese economy continues to show signs of a gradual slowdown and some experts are wondering if China might be headed for a hard economic landing. The former chief economist for the U.S. Federal Reserve, David Stockton, tells CCTV that he thinks the Chinese economy will do just fine.
The Fed’s former chief economist David Stockton believes that China’s economic fundamentals are intact. Stockton says China runs certain risks such as an overheated real estate market but he holds a generally positive view of the country’s economy.
"I think the Chinese economy has indeed slowed over the course of the last year, and probably will slow a little bit further over the course of the next year or so. But I’m not anticipating a hard landing for the Chinese economy. I’m expecting a slowdown and the slowdown probably would be consistent with what the Chinese government has been aiming for," he said.
Stockton also points out that a series of recent reforms will help raising the quality and sustainability of China’s economic development.
"I think the potential for those reforms to affect a better balance of economic growth in China, one that has more dependence on consumer, and less dependent on investment, is likely to pay some dividends. I think they will be successful," he said.
"I think it will be a slow process. I don’t expect those reforms to produce an immediate or significant rebalancing in the economy. But I think they are helpful steps that are probably leading in the right direction."
Since the U.S. fed started tapering its bond buying program, some developing economies have suffered a flight of capital that has led to liquidity strains, stock market plunges, depreciated currencies and other ills.
Stockton believes, though, that China has shown greater resistance to the impact of the QE tapering, and the country’s central bank has reserved enough ammunition to guard against additional risks.
