  •   A report Thursday in the state-run China Daily newspaper quotes the vice president of the Supreme People's Court, Jiang Xinchang, as saying that lethal injections were more humane and notes that already half of the country's Intermediate People's Courts, which carry most of the executions, use lethal injections to carry out executions.
  • 中国官方报纸中国日报星期四的一篇报导援引中国最高人民法院副院长姜兴长的话说,药物注射方式更加人道,已经有半数的中级人民法院採用药物注射执行死刑。这些法院执行的死刑占中国全国死刑的大多数。

  •   Jiang said that lethal injections will eventually be used by all intermediate people's courts. He stopped short, however, of giving a date for the change.

  • Study Says Bush Policy on Tech Exports to China Threatens National Security
  • 研究称布希对中国技术出口政策危及国家安全
  •   A Washington-based research group says a new U.S. policy on technology exports to China should be suspended because it threatens national security.

  •   The report criticizes a change last October to U.S. rules on the export of sensitive technologies to China.
  • 这份报告批评去年 10 月就对中国出口敏感技术的美国政策作出的改变。

  •   The policy makes it easier for Chinese firms to receive such technology if the U.S. government says they are trusted to use it for civilian and not military purposes.
  • 依照这项新政策,如果美国政府说相信这些中国公司把有关技术用於民事而不是军事目,中国公司将更容易获得美国的敏感技术。

  •   But the report says two firms benefiting from the policy have ties to the Chinese military, which could use the technology to modernize.
  • 但是报告说,受益於新政策的两家公司与中国军方有联繫,中国军方可能使用获得的技术进行现代化更新。

  •   The group also says one of the firms is linked to a company sanctioned by the U.S. State Department for allegedly selling banned weapons to Iran or Syria.
  • 这个机构还说,其中一家公司与一个因涉嫌向伊朗或叙利亚出售禁运武器而受到美国国务院制裁的公司有关联。

  •   A U.S. official involved in implementing the new measures says the administration's overall policy has been to tighten, not loosen export controls to China.
  • 一名参与执行新政策的美国官员说,布希政府的总体政策一直是收紧、而不是放鬆对中国技术出口管制。
