Mongolian media goes dark to protest press freedom threat www.dnaindia.com

 
Blank screens and red text warning about threats to press freedom interrupted Mongolian television late on Wednesday to protest against legal changes media groups say could harshly punish journalists accused of defamation ahead of elections.
 
With just three million people, Mongolia, best known as the birthplace of the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan, has long stood as an oasis of democracy, sandwiched between autocratic giant neighbours China and Russia.
 
Mongolia's political transformation since a peaceful revolution in 1990 has been a big plus for foreign investors eyeing its rich mineral resources.
 
But with presidential elections in June, rights groups and journalists have expressed concern the government is using increasingly heavy-handed tactics to suppress media and stifle dissent, including jailing reporters.
 
The government denies seeking to muzzle the press, saying the country is a democracy that values the freedom of the media.
 
But this week, parliament is due to debate law amendments that could impose large fines on reporters accused of defamation, in what media groups say amounts to a threat to make them stop reporting on issues like rampant corruption.
 
More than a dozen Mongolian television stations went dark for about one hour on Wednesday evening, some carrying only the text "Your right to know is under threat".
 
On Thursday, one of the country's largest newspapers, Unuudur, carried the same message on its front page.
 
Hashhuu Naranjargal, president of the civil-society group Globe International in Mongolia, said media outlets could face penalties of up to 200 million tugrik ($82,850) for violations under the amendments, while individual journalists and social media users could be fined 2 million tugrik ($828) each.
 
The fines were a form of "economic censorship", said Naranjargal, that politicians might abuse to protect themselves.
 
"The general political atmosphere is very negative about the protection of journalists," Naranjargal said.
 
"They just want to prevent negative information about themselves," she said about politicians.
 
Batbold Chimgee, a journalist for the website GoGo.mn, said the government had abused the libel law in the past to censor reporters.
 
She said the 2 million tugrik fine was equivalent to three months salary for many journalists.
 
"It's big money for journalists because Mongolian journalists don't make much money."

Cabinet considers bilateral treaties with Hong Kong and Macau www.en.montsame.mn

 
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ During its regular meeting on April 26, Wednesday, the Cabinet addressed the issue of transfer of sentenced persons with Macau and Hong Kong, and resolved to discuss the issue with the corresponding Parliamentary Standing committee.
 
Mongolia has a bilateral treaty on mutual legal assistance on civil and criminal matters and transfer of sentenced persons and offenders with the People’s Republic of China; however this agreement isn’t effective in Hong Kong and Macau, Special Administrative Regions of the People’s Republic of China.
 
Considering the increased travel of Mongolians and involvement in criminal activities in these regions, the Cabinet thus discussed the issue of establishing treaties with Hong Kong and Macau on transfer of sentenced persons and offenders and legal assistance, and decided to consult with the corresponding standing committee.

Steelmakers continue capacity cuts www.chinadaily.com

China's steelmakers need to press ahead with capacity cutting and deleveraging, despite the sector's strong performance in the first quarter of the year, an expert said.

Gu Jianguo, executive vice-chairman of the China Iron and Steel Association, said the entire industry needs to remain sober about the latest favorable results, as there is still not a solid foundation for the sector to realize sustainable returns.

Steel companies should continue to avoid "near-sighted behavior", and avoid expanding output blindly, Gu said at a news conference on Wednesday.

Industry data showed that steelmakers' output and profits increased in the first three months.

Between January and March, total crude steel output grew by 4.6 percent year-on-year, with the average daily output in March reaching a record high, according to the CISA.

In the same period, combined profits among CISA's members amounted to 23.3 billion yuan ($3.4 billion), compared with losses of 8.75 billion yuan last year.

The three-month statistics, however, are insufficient to forecast the trend for the entire year, Gu said. "More observations are necessary on steel demand and consumption."

Besides, falling exports and fluctuations in prices are two problems facing the industry, Gu added.

Liu Zhenjiang, CISA's secretary-general, said the steel mills, in addition to further slashing excessive capacity, should also attach importance to deleveraging to avoid debt problems.

China set a goal of reducing steel capacity by 50 million metric tons in 2017, and will continue its drive in 2018, according to the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic regulator.

The target was built on the progress China made in 2016, when the country slashed steel output by 65 million tons.

Zhang Yingying, an analyst at Beijing-based JLC Network Technology Co Ltd, said the new round of capacity cuts is likely to cause supplies to run slightly low in provinces such as Hebei, Shandong and Jiangsu, major steel production bases.

"Prices might decline correspondingly in a small range within a short period," she added.

The country's annual steel output stood at 1.1 billion tons, with an apparent consumption of 800 million tons a year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

The ninth consultative meeting of the foreign affairs ministries of Mongolia and South Korea was held on April 24, in Ulaanbaatar, to discuss consular affairs cooperation between the two countries. The meeting’s delegations were led by Director of the Consular Department of the Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ya.Ariunbold and Ambassador for Overseas Koreans and Consular Affairs Han Dong-man.
 
Representatives from the Mongolian Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs, Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, General Prosecutor’s Office, Mongolian Immigration Agency, National Policy Agency of Mongolia, General Authority for Border Protection and Medical and Social Insurance General Office participated in the meeting.
 
During the meeting, the sides discussed developing consular affairs cooperation between the two countries, increasing the number of Mongolian citizens living in South Korea under labor contracts, and challenges facing Mongolian citizens living in South Korea. The two sides agreed to take measures to deal with some of challenges facing Mongolians legally residing in South Korea. The sides also discussed expanding the terms of multiple entry visas to streamline the visa process for Mongolian applicants. This could be achieved by increasing the number of Mongolian citizens legally residing in the Republic of Korea and reducing the number of illegal residents.
 
The South Korean delegation asked their Mongolian counterparts to issue visas to South Korean investors that are valid for one to three years, and to eliminate employment fees for South Korean citizens living in Mongolia who are employed by non-governmental organiza
tions.
 
During Ambassador Han’s meeting with State Secretary of the Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs D.Davaasuren, the state officials emphasized that creating a specific mechanism for developing consular cooperation, protecting people’s rights, and carrying out visa facilities are important. They agreed that consultative meetings should take place regularly, and that enhancing the legal and regulatory environment for dealing with the challenges facing the two nations’ citizens is critical.
 
D.Davaasuren noted that there are 36,000 Mongolian citizens working and studying in South Korea, and that the Government of Mongolia should focus on supporting its citizens there. The sides also exchanged views on security challenges on the Korean Peninsula and other regional issues.

Ebook sales drop as readers favour non-fiction books www.bbc.com

 
Sales of ebooks dropped 3% to £538m last year, according to the Publishers Association trade body.
But total book sales including physical books rose 6% to £3.5bn, according to the data, led by non-fiction gains.
Readers flocked to fitness and self-help books, sending non-fiction sales up 9%, while fiction revenue fell 7%.
Exports rose 6% to £2.6bn, benefiting from a decline in the value of sterling, but also rising in line with domestic growth.
The gain reversed three previous years of export decline.
In 2015, adult colouring books and the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland helped the swell in physical book sales, while ebook sales fell 1.6%.
This time, books on the Danish concept of hygge, which is usually translated into English as "cosiness", assisted factual sales, as well as fitness books by personal trainer Joe Wicks.
While ebook sales took a hit, digital distribution helped other media.
Journals made a 10% gain last year to £1.2bn, led by a jump in electronic subscriptions, making the market for books and journals worth £4.8bn.
"Last year, one of the most eye-catching figures from our statistics was that physical book sales were increasing while digital book sales dropped," said chief executive Stephen Lotinga.
"While many will debate as to whether this trend will continue, we should not ignore the fact that digital sales beyond the domestic ebook market are growing."
