WASHINGTON --Chinese President Hu Jintao and other world leaders met in Washington on Tuesday for a nuclear security summit aimed mainly at preventing acts of nuclear terrorism. The leaders or their representatives from 47 countries are attending the summit at the Washington Convention Center. The United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Union are also participating in the summit, which was proposed by U.S. President Barack Obama. The summit is dedicated to nuclear security and the threat of nuclear terrorism. And I think that it is absolutely fundamental to view this summit with the starting point of the grave nature of the threat of nuclear terrorism, Ben Rhodes, U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, said at a briefing last Friday. We know that terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, are pursuing the materials to build a nuclear weapon, and we know that they have the intent to use one. This of course would be a catastrophic danger to American national security and to global security were they able to carry out that kind of attack, he said. In a speech in Prague last April, Obama described nuclear terrorism as the most immediate and extreme threat to global security and called for a new international effort to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world within four years. We must also build on our efforts to break up black markets, detect and intercept materials in transit, and use financial tools to disrupt this dangerous trade, he said while proposing a summit on nuclear security. At the summit, President Hu will deliver a speech that will explain the importance of strengthening nuclear security for the sustained and healthy development of nuclear energy and international security and stability,elaborate on China's policy and practices on nuclear security and make proposals for cooperation in coping with international challenges,according to Chinese diplomats.
During a telephone conversation with Obama on April 2, Hu said China attaches great importance to the issue of nuclear security, opposing nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism and supporting international efforts to enhance cooperation on nuclear security. China is ready to work closely with the United States and other sides concerned to make sure that the summit is successful and fruitful, Hu said. As a major power of nuclear energy development, China has taken a series of effective steps to ensure nuclear security and established relatively comprehensive nuclear security and safety regulations and monitoring systems. China has played an active role in the development of related international conventions on nuclear security and maintained close exchanges and cooperation with the IAEA and other countries. Earlier this month, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang described the summit as an important multilateral meeting when he announced Hu's attendance at the summit. We hope the summit will achieve a consensus by all countries on nuclear security and yield positive results, Qin said. 1.

DU Lala is the hottest career coach in the country. The fictional character in the acclaimed novel Du La La’s Promotion shows others how to take the high road to success in a multinational company. But does her story depict a real or distorted picture of work life? The answer is as complicated as office life itself. Over one million copies of the book have been sold since its release in 2007. Go Lala Go!, a movie adaptation of the novel set to hit cinemas next weekend, has stirred up even more interest in the story. The film stars Xu Jinglei and Stanley Huang, but fans seem to be more excited about seeing the story unfold on the big screen. According to a recent Sina.com survey, 45 percent of the 6,810 netizens polled said they have drawn career pointers from the novel. Other office novels, such as In and Out of the Loop, Win and Lose and Drowning and Floating, seem to have been received with similar interest. “These books show me the life of white collars, and they teach me career rules and jargon that are not offered in class,” said Zhang Shanshan, a 22-year-old senior at Beijing Forestry University. Zhang says the competition, humor and office gossip in the book intrigued her. “I can’t wait to embark on my own career,” she said. The popularity of office novels does not surprise Chen Ning, a senior career consultant at Zhaopin.com. “Novels about office fights and struggles satisfy the psychological demands of an ordinary office worker,” Chen said. “The leading characters face great pressure, fierce competition and an uncertain future. This is a real scenario in many readers’ daily life.” Li Ke, the author of Du Lala’s Promotion, has been stressing the significance of her fiction. “I want to provide real and useful common sense, knowledge and experience to office workers,” Li told the Qianjiang Evening News last year. Recent graduates say they have found the basic work principles highlighted in the novel to be instructive. “If these books had been published five years earlier, I might have avoided some problems,” said Xu Jun, an HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Company. “They often discuss basic office principles, which are relevant for staff working under the middle management level. They also help readers to see the importance of basic problem solving and organizational skills.” But some veteran employees warn that the novels are not always realistic. They say this is especially true of the characters. “The protagonists
