BEIJING Cheap Pierre Pilote Jersey , May 29 (Xinhua) -- Beijing will ban heavy-duty diesel vehicles from Monday if they cannot meet the fifth phase emissions standard, becoming the first Chinese city to fully adopt the national standard.


The standard is equal to the Euro V emissions cap.


The move will cut emissions of pollutants, according to Li Kunsheng, a vehicle exhaust administration official with the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau.


From June 1, only heavy diesel vehicles that meet the standard will be issued license plates. Other types of gasoline and diesel automobiles have been subject to the standard for two years already.


Vehicle emissions are the prime cause of air pollution in Beijing.


The capital city has about 220,000 heavy diesel vehicles Cheap Keith Magnuson Jersey , each weighing at least 3.5 tonnes, accounting for 4 percent of all vehicles in the capital. However, they account for 50 percent of all vehicle emissions of nitrogen oxides and 90 percent of particles.


Diesel vehicles that meet the fifth phase standard discharge 40 percent less nitrogen oxides than fourth phase standard vehicles.


The municipal government have been offering subsidies to encourage car owners to scrap vehicles that fail to meet the fifth phase standard, with rewards of up to 21,500 yuan (3,460 U.S. dollars).


Beijing is working to reduce the annual average density of PM2.5 by 5 percent this year. It failed to hit the target last year by only registering decline of four percent.


PM2.5 refers to fine particles measuring less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter Cheap Glenn Hall Jersey , which pose a serious health hazard.

BEIJING, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Standing at the gate of Beijing Municipal Higher People's Court, Chen Te gave a last glance at his workplace of 14 years. His former colleagues were still working overtime in their offices, as he had often done.


Chen quit as a judge in April because he felt his professional potential was unfulfilled. The 40-year-old was once a rising star in Beijing's legal community, with his research programs recognized as top-class.


The Supreme People's Court (SPC) invited him to help write judicial interpretations of traffic and medical lawsuits, an honor that made him feel part of the country's legal progress. "My views were adopted as part of the understanding of the law Cheap Clark Griswold Jersey ," he recalls.


Chen had been hoping to sit on the country's highest judicial body, but he gradually realized he wouldn't fulfill his professional ambitions on the bench. He decided to become a lawyer.


Chen is part of a growing exodus of judges and prosecutors from the judicial system.


Mu Ping, president of the Beijing Municipal Higher People's Court, says more than 500 judges quit from 2010 to 2014, and the number is growing.


Shenzhen's intermediate and grassroots courts lost 15.5 percent of their judges from 2009 to 2013, and Shanghai saw more than 300 judges resign in the same period. In 2014 Cheap Patrick Kane Jersey , Shanghai's courts saw 86 judges leave, followed by 18 more in first quarter of 2015.


The judiciary is losing its luster for law graduates. Last year, fewer applicants took the judicial and procuratorate recruitment examinations in east China's Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.


This year, some local courts and procuratorates in at least eight provincial regions have canceled the recruiting examinations due to a lack of applicants, according to the Southern Metropolis Daily.


While the brain drain continues, China's leaders are striving to advance the rule of law Cheap Marian Hossa Jersey , a key aspect of deepening reforms and rejuvenating the nation.


Since the fourth plenary session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in October 2014, China has embarked on a series of reforms to improve judicial justice and credibility, including prioritizing trials in litigation procedures, building a lifelong responsibility system for judges to prevent miscarriages of justice, and improving jury and public supervision.


New judicial organs have been established. The SPC has set up three intellectual property rights courts in late 2014 and inaugurated two circuit courts in Shenzhen City, south China's Guangdong Province Cheap Artemi Panarin Jersey , and Shenyang City, capital of the northeastern Liaoning Province, this year.


However, the low pay and mounting workloads are driving professionals from the legal system to law firms.


A recruitment ad by Shangge Partners, a Beijing-based law firm, welcomed judges with court experience of at least five years. In addition to a starting income of 20 Cheap Corey Crawford Jersey ,000 yuan (about 3,220 U.S. dollars) a month - almost triple the earnings of the Beijing judge with similar experience - it offers bonuses such as a car or a deposit on an apartment in that city.The firm has received dozens of resumes and already hired two former judges. "Most of the judges contacting us are in their thirties, quite experienced," says a personnel executive from Shangge.


An assistant judge of three to five years experience in a local court is paid about 2,000 yuan (about 322 U.S. dollars) per month. In less developed regions, a chief judge in an intermediate court with 10 years of experience can earn only 4 Cheap Ryan Hartman Jersey ,000 yuan a month.


The latest judicial reform has recommended pay rises to bridge the gap between the judges and lawyers.


But even that could fail to compensate for the rising caseloads of judges, especially in local people's courts.


SPC Chief Justice Zhou Qiang revealed in the court's 2015 work report that in some developed regions, local court judges deal with more than 300 cases a year - more than one each working day.


A reform that came into effect on May 1 ended a review system that allowed a judge to review a case and decide whether to allow it into the court system.


Under the new registration system, the court has to immediately register cases filed with legitimate formalities, or it must giv
