BEIJING Cheap Jerseys China , April 11 (Xinhua) -- China is starting to blacklist poorly-behaved tourists as it seeks to rescue the image of its citizens as holidaymakers.


According to a regulation by the China National Tourism Administration (NTA) that entered effect this week, tourists will be blacklisted for offences including acting antisocially on public transport, damaging private or public property, disrespecting local customs, sabotaging historical exhibits or engaging in gambling or pornographic activities.


Records will be kept in a two-tired system: provincial-level tourism authorities are responsible for cases under their jurisdiction while the NTA will be in charge of a nationwide register.

The NTA said tourism authorities will inform blacklisted tourists and "propose correction measures in order to mitigate the negative impact".


It also said that tourism authorities reserve the right to report such violations to public security, customs and transport authorities as well as the central bank's individual credit department.


The regulation comes amid growing concern about the ill manners of Chinese tourists both at home and abroad.


In 2013, a Chinese tourist wrote his name on a relief carving in Luxor, Egypt. In December, a Chinese passenger threw a cup of hot instant noodles at a flight attendant on an international flight. Chinese tourists have been fined or jailed for carrying prohibited items or purchasing wild animal products.


MEXICO CITY Cheap Jerseys , June 20 (Xinhua) -- Nobel Prize winner and renowned economist Joseph Stiglitz said Monday it would be "extraordinarily foolish" for the United States to walk away from or weaken the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).


Speaking at the 18th World Congress of the International Economic Association in Mexico, Stiglitz, a professor of economics at Columbia University in New York, said the United States should instead try to expand its trade ties with Canada and Mexico, its NAFTA partners.


U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized NAFTA as unfairly benefiting Mexico at the expense of American jobs and industry Cheap Replica Soccer Jerseys , and called for a renegotiation of the accord that entered into force in 1994.


Mexico and the United States, which share a 2,000-mile (roughly 3,200-km) border, maintain a natural economic integration largely thanks to NAFTA Cheap Custom Soccer Jerseys , which has allowed both sides to thrive, said Stiglitz.


"The interdependence of the United States and Mexico is very good and it would be extraordinarily foolish of the Trump administration to distance itself from NAFTA, to undermine NAFTA," Stiglitz told reporters covering the congress.


The three countries may renegotiate the trade agreement as early as August, as part of Trump's efforts to fulfill his campaign pledge to secure a better deal for U.S. workers by ditching the treaty that he called a "disaster."


However Cheap Authentic Soccer Jerseys , he has softened his stance since then, saying that he would "not terminate" the pact after he had phone conversations with leaders from Mexico and Canada in April.


Stiglitz said the "ugly rhetoric" of the campaign trail has given way to a growing awareness of the importance of bilateral partnership for the economy.


"I am less concerned now about NAFTA's fate," said Stiglitz, "because I think politics in the United States has evolved in a positive way."


At the conference, Mexico's Finance Minister Jose Antonio Meade told the dozens of economists gathered there that the economies of Mexico and the United States complemented each other.


Mexico is the emerging economy with the largest investment from the United States Cheap Soccer Jerseys Online , and the first or second biggest trade partner of 29 out of 50 states in the United States.
