BEIJING Henrik Lundqvist Black Jersey , Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Beijing authorities have passed a regulation that bans fireworks in the city proper in light of heavy air pollution and casualties caused by fireworks in recent years.


The regulation on fireworks safety and management was passed Friday by the standing committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress.


According to the regulation, setting off fireworks will be banned within the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing. In addition, district authorities outside the Fifth Ring Road can set fixed areas where fireworks are banned or restricted.


This means residents in the city proper will not be allowed to set off fireworks on the Lunar New Year, China's most important festival for family reunion. Chinese often celebrate the holiday with fireworks.


In restricted areas outside the Fifth Ring Road, fireworks are allowed only on the eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year Ryan McDonagh Black Jersey , as well as from 7 a.m. to midnight from the second day to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.


National and municipal celebrations and holidays that require official fireworks displays will be approved and announced by the Beijing municipal government.


According to an official with the legal affairs office of the Beijing municipal government, dozens of people were injured or killed in firework-triggered accidents during the Chinese Lunar New Year period between 2015 and 2017.


The number of heavy air pollution days during the seven-day festival reached two to four days each year during the past five years, the official said.




WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- Despite global opposition and protests, U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday fulfilled one of his major campaign promises by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel Mika Zibanejad Womens Jersey , and demanded the State Department to develop a plan to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.


Experts argued that Trump's decision, a bold step that could change the status quo in a highly sensitive region, is likely to draw rage and revenge, and more importantly, dampen the peace prospect in the Middle East.


"RECOGNITION OF REALITY"


In a televised speech Mats Zuccarello Womens Jersey , Trump announced he is "determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."


"This is a long overdue step to advance the peace process and to work towards a lasting agreement," Trump said, arguing his announcement is just a "recognition of reality," and is "not intended in any way to reflect a departure" from the U.S. commitment to a lasting peace agreement "acceptable to both sides" in the Middle East.


"We are not taking a position of any final status issues, including the specific boundaries of the Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem or the resolution of contested borders Henrik Lundqvist Womens Jersey ," he said. "Those questions are up to the parties involved."


Earlier, the Palestinian authorities have reiterated their stance that there will be no sovereign state of Palestine without East Jerusalem as its capital.


Speaking of the moving of the U.S. embassy, Trump said the State Department will immediately begin to hire architects and engineers, so as to make the new embassy "a magnificent tribute to peace" when completed.


He also announced that Vice President Mike Pence will travel to the region in the coming days to "reaffirm our commitment to work with partners throughout the Middle East to defeat radicalism."


POLITICALIZED MOTIVES


Analysts said that Trump took a hardline stand mostly because that appeals to the religious wing of his conservative base.


Daniel Serwer, director of Conflict Management at the Johns Hopkins University Ryan McDonagh Womens Jersey , told Xinhua that Trump's main motive seems to "be satisfying a domestic political constituency that wants the administration to be as pro-Israel as possible."


Secondly, Trump came into office with promises to stop terrorism, which means a closer relationship with Israel, since Israel is the U.S. only true ally in the Middle East, said analysts.


Moreover Authentic Mika Zibanejad Jersey , the disruptive moves by the Trump administration may "reshuffle the deck" and somehow make the Israeli-Palestinian problem easier to solve.


"That isn't likely to be the case however," Serwer noted. "Any announcement changing existing U.S. policy without being even-handed will reduce the likelihood of an agreed peace."


"The U.S. has always been pro-Israel, but until now it has not necessarily been perceived as anti-Palestine. This will make it hard for many, including me, to believe that the administration supports a two-state solution Authentic Mats Zuccarello Jersey , which many of us regard as the only outcome that will lead to stability," he added.


Dan Mahaffee, vice president and director of policy at the Center for the Study of Congress and the Presidency, also told Xinhua that Trump's decision to move the embassy reflects a willingness of his administration to "shake up the peace process" and the push to make a deal, "despite the offense to Arab nations and the risk of inciting further violence in the region."


BACKFIRING CONSEQUENCES


In the eyes of Darrell West Authentic Henrik Lundqvist Jersey , a senior fellow at think-tank Brookings Institution, Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem will upset Palestinians because it unilaterally changes the status quo in favor of Israel without providing any benefits for them.


"There likely will be considerable unrest after that decision is publicly announced," he noted.


Serwer also said Trump's move "is not unexpected but is unwise."


"It is just as much a mistake now as it was months ago," he said. "If the Palestinians get nothing, it will be hard for them to return to the negotiating table. It may also cause widespread protests."


Shibley Telhami of the Brookings Institution was quoted by media as saying that "the move would go against the very priorities that the administration has set for itself in the Midd Detox refers to the.
