BEIJING Cheap White Sox T-Shirts , Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's consumer inflation retreated mildly in September weighed down by dropping food prices, while steady service prices allowed a continued rise in overall price levels.


The consumer price index (CPI) grew 1.6 percent year on year in September, slowing from August's 1.8 percent but still faster than July's 1.4 percent, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Monday. It was the eighth straight month for the main gauge to stay beneath the 2-percent mark.


On a monthly basis, the index was up 0.5 percent, slightly higher than the 0.4 percent seen in the previous month.


NBS statistician Sheng Guoqing attributed the milder inflation to lackluster food prices, which account for a significant part of the CPI calculation.


"Food prices declined 1.4 percent from a year ago Cheap White Sox Hoodies , contributing 0.28 percentage point to the slowdown," said Sheng.


Prices of pork, a staple meat in China, dragged down the whole sector with a loss of 12.4 percent.


Meanwhile, the increase in non-food prices picked up speed. Led by services, including heath care and home rents, non-food prices gained 2.4 percent year on year Customized White Sox Jerseys , quickening from August's 2.3 percent.


Health care prices jumped 7.6 percent from a year earlier, the biggest increase in around 20 years. Home rents and education, culture and entertainment product prices also saw marked increases.

BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- A senior volleyball official with China's General Administration of Sport (GAS) is under investigation for graft, said China's top discipline inspection agency Tuesday.


Pan Zhichen, director of the GAS volleyball administrative center, is being investigated for "serious violations of discipline and law," said a statement on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China White Sox Yolmer Sanchez Jersey , quoting the GAS discipline inspection division.


China's anti-corruption campaign has swept various sectors and fields,including the country's sport administration.

SYDNEY, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Scientists from around the world have called for the United Nations (UN) to take action to stop the proliferation of "killer robots."


At the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Melbourne on Monday, technology leaders from around the world congregated at the event, first held in 1969, and requested that the development of weaponry using artificial intelligence be halted as "once this Pandora's box is opened White Sox Welington Castillo Jersey , it will be hard to close."

"Once developed, they will permit armed conflict to be fought at a scale greater than ever, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend. These can be weapons of terror, weapons that despots and terrorists use against innocent populations," the letter said.


Signed by many of the world's top AI minds, the letter was spearheaded by Walsh, a professor in AI at the University of New South Wales White Sox Ron Santo Jersey , who told Xinhua recently that he is concerned with what he feels is an "arms race" occurring around the world.


"I'm very worried about the impact that autonomy will have on the battlefields. There's an arms race happening today, you can see the U.S. military, the U.K. military, the Russian military -- it's a bit of an arms race," Walsh said.


"It would be a very dangerous, destabilized world we end up in if we do allow ourselves to fight war with these sorts of weapons."


Walsh and his cosignatories are asking the UN to step in and ban autonomous weapons, and he said that there has already been some positive movement from the UN in this regard White Sox Robin Ventura Jersey , hoping this letter will spur even more actions.


"This is one where myself and thousands of my colleagues actually signed an open letter saying that the UN should take action, and the UN is starting slowly, but surely to take ac.
