[Photo/Xinhua] XI'AN - Geologists in Northwest China's Shaanxi province have found a new Danxia landform, characterized by reddish sandstone features, thought to be the largest such site in the country. The S-shaped site, which features a rugged red landscape that emerged from river silt deposits dating back more than 99 million years, runs from Yulin city in the north of Shaanxi to the center of the province, the provincial land and resources department announced Saturday. With an outcrop area of over 4,000 square kilometers, the landscape extends 750 kilometers from north to south and 10 to 70 kilometers from east to west. The landform was found in September and October. Its bulk lies in several counties administered by Yan'an city. Geologists said the newly discovered Danxia landform appears as groups of valleys and is different from those found in south China, which were inscribed collectively as a World Heritage Site in 2010. band wristbandscustom printed wristbandswristband creationflash drive wristbandbracelet maker onlinemotivational wristbands for athletes
BEIJING -- China said Monday that the United States should strengthen contact with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), gradually seek a consensus and build mutual trust. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang made the comments at a daily press briefing in response to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's remarks to US Department of State employees on May 3. Tillerson said the United States was ready to engage in talks with the DPRK "when conditions are right," adding that Washington was sending a "very, very clear and resolute" message to the DPRK that the country's security and economic prosperity "can only be secured" through commitment to denuclearization. "We've been clear to them this is not about regime change, this is not about regime collapse, this is not about an accelerated reunification of the peninsula, this is not about us looking for an excuse to come north of the 38th Parallel," Tillerson said. Geng said China has acknowledged the United States' determination to push forward denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Tillerson's remarks were positive and should be taken seriously as they expressed the intention of resolving the issue through dialogue and consultation, Geng said. The United States is one of main parties involved in the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, he said, adding China continues to encourage the the country to play a constructive role in peacefully settling the issue. China is ready to work with all parties, including the United States, to seek an amicable resolution, Geng said.
