BEIJING Nike Roshe One Nere Scontate , Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Major media from around the world are keenly following the upcoming crucial meeting of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and acknowledging the achievements made by China in the recent decades.


The 19th National Congress of the CPC, set to open on Oct. 18, "will determine the direction of China's future development," commented Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao earlier this month.


In an article published Monday, the Singaporean daily also highlighted the results achieved by China's anti-corruption campaign since the 18th National Congress in 2012.


"The efforts demonstrated by the 18th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are unprecedented in the history of the CPC," the article said. "It ... has changed the political patterns of China."


Another Singaporean newspaper, The Straits Times Nike Air Max 95 Scontate , noted in an Oct. 3 article that "China has chalked up the most impressive growth for over decades."


It also hailed China's long-term economic strategy, saying the supply-side structural reform measures introduced by Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, to deleverage debt and reduce overproduction have successfully stabilized the economic momentum.


Late last month, German magazine International Politics and Society published an article on its website lauding China's unique model of success.


"China has developed from a poor and isolated country into the world's second-largest economy within only three decades," Gerhard Stahl, former secretary-general of the Committee of the Regions of the European Union Nike Air Max 97 Nere Scontate , wrote in the article.


"China became a WTO member in 2001 and opened the process of market economy liberalization afterwards without harming its political stability, which is a huge challenge for a country with a population of over 1.3 billion in very different living standards," Stahl wrote.


Different Chinese provinces have different policies considering the country is large and diverse, he noted.


In special economic zones and pilot projects, he added, new ideas can be carried out, state-owned enterprises can be privatized Nike Air Max 97 Bianche Scontate , private companies can be fostered, and some limited-access markets can be open to foreign investors.


"Germany and the European Union must adapt themselves to competition with other political systems and learn from the success of the Chinese model," he concluded in the article.

WASHINGTONNEW YORK, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- An intense "bomb cyclone" pummeled the U.S. East Coast on Thursday with high winds and heavy snowfalls Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Scontate , leaving thousands of flights cancelled, schools and offices closed, and millions of Americans bracing for power shortages.


Snow plows and salt trucks rumbled down streets and highways as the powerful winter storm that has hammered the South swept across the Northeast, cloaking much of the region in a white haze.


More than 44,000 Americans were left without electricity, at least 8 million people are under blizzard warnings, and 58 million are in the path of this bitter winter storm Nike Air Max 97 Undefeated Scontate , according to a CNN report.


Most of them were in the states of Virginia and North Carolina, where more than 31,000 people had no power.


Nearly 10,000 have lost power in the Boston area, while in New York City, more than 3,500 people are without power.


North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said Thursday three people have died in the snow storm. A cold snap gripping a large part of the country had already been blamed for a dozen earlier deaths.


U.S. forecasters called the ongoing winter storm a "bomb cyclone" for its rapid and rare drop in atmospheric pressure. The storm is crawling up the northeastern American Thursday morning with a threat of winds gusting as high as 60 mph and a bone-chilling blast of Arctic air.


Through Thursday Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Scontate , parts of New York could see five to nine inches of snow, Philadelphia three to six inches and Washington one to two inches. In New England, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, could get eight to 12 inches, while Portland, Maine Nike Air Max TN Donne Scontate , could see 10 to 15 inches, the U.S. National Weather Service said.


The service also said Atlantic City could record up to 18 inches of snow, Delaware beach towns were facing the prospect of a foot of snow and travel has become "very dangerous to impossible" in the highly populated Hampton Roads region of Virginia, which could receive up to 12 inches of snow in places.


More than 3,000 flights were cancelled on Thursday, with airports in New York and New Jersey; Boston reporting the most cancellations, according to FlightAware Nike Air Max TN Uomo Scontate , an aviation tracking website.


The agency that runs New York City-area airports says all flights have been suspended temporarily at JFK and LaGuardia airports due to wind and whiteout conditions.


At Newark Liberty airport in New Jersey, airlines had cancelled 867 flights as of noon Thursday, 73 percent of normal flight activity.


The winter storm that is slamming U.S. East Coast also led to more than 200 flight cancellation in the midwestern city of Chicago.


According to Chicago Department of Aviation, by 9:30 a.m. local time, Chicago O'Hare International Airport had cancelled more than 180 flights and the Midway Airport, more than 50 flights.


In Washington D.C., the federal government delayed opening offices on Thursday as blowing snow swirled in the capital. The Office of Personnel Management informed that nonemergency federal workers could report two hours late Nike Air Max TN Bianche , work remotely, or take an unscheduled leave.


Power firms have warned of possible fuel shortages to come since heating units in h.
