Local authorities on Wednesday said a New South Wales Police officer and a security guard were both shot in the leg following an altercation with a man who
grabbed the officer's gun at Penrith Hospital in Sydney's Western suburbs late
on Tuesday night.
Unconfirmed media reports suggest the man held scissors to a female doctor's throat after she had intervened in an argument before the police and security
officers had arrived to resolve the situation.
New South Wales Police deputy commissioner Catherine Burn told reporters outside the hospital on Wednesday the officer who was shot in his left thigh is
in a "critical but stable condition", and the incident is not terror-related
despite some commentary suggesting otherwise.
"(Police) are looking at other issues at play in this story," Burn said.
A police spokesperson could not confirm to Xinhua if the 39-year-old alleged attacker, who has been arrested on a series of charges including intent to
murder, was under the influence of drugs.
The security guard was shot in the calf and remains in a stable condition.
Australia's Health Services Union (HSU) secretary Gerard Hayes said the latest incident is just another in a string of attacks against security guards
at hospitals as they handle violent patients and visitors.
"We have been calling for more powers for hospital security officers for several years but the government has refused to do anything more than instruct
our members to call the police in the event of problems at hospitals Nike Air Max 2018 Kopen ," Hayes said in a statement.
BEIJING, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- The 6.9 percent GDP growth rate reported for 2015 falls within the "about seven percent" target set last March, underscoring
the government's sophisticated insight and management of economic performance.
China's weakest full-year growth in a quarter of a century should not be deemed as a setback, but a rebalancing act for a more vibrant comeback.
The slower growth did not come as a surprise. The Chinese government is well aware of the slowing economic expansion accompanied by falling industrial
product prices, shrinking enterprise profits Nike Air Max TN Kopen , waning fiscal revenue and rising financial risks, which are more structural than cyclical problems.
Avoiding whitewashing or lament over these disappointing figures, China is facing the challenges squarely and knows well that the lackluster numbers do not
tell the whole story.
Against international and domestic trade and financial market headwinds, the Chinese economy, with an economic volume of over ten trillion U.S.
dollars Nike Air Max 96 Kopen , sailed rather smoothly in 2015, with impressive employment conditions and income rises for urban and rural residents.
The 6.9 percent economic expansion rate is an impressive figure from a global perspective, with China contributing more than 2 percent to global economic
growth last year.
Meanwhile, with a gradual, steady rebalancing of the growth model taking shape Nike Air Max 95 Kopen , the Chinese economy has great resilience, huge potential and ample room for readjustment.
The conditions supporting high productivity remain stable. China's employed population amounts for about 70 percent of the total population, offering
abundant a workforce for continued growth despite a marginal drop since 2014.
The country also continues to enjoy abundant capital reserves with an average national deposit ratio at more than 40 percent for the past twelve years.
The housing market is undoubtedly in bad shape currently, but the glut will be gradually digested over time thanks to accelerating urbanization.
While property sales and factory construction are slowing, the rising middle class are eagerly spending money on healthcare Nike Air Max 90 Mesh Kopen , overseas travel and movie tickets. The government bid to rebalance the economy toward consumption has received a boost from services,
which account for over 50 percent of GDP, the first time in history .
Uneven regional growth also means more potential in investment and consumption. The government's decision to lift more than 70 million poor Chinese
out of poverty will unleash a continual stream of fresh growth.
In addition, China has taken unprecedented steps, from subsidies to venture capital financing Nike Air Max 97 Heren Kopen , to promote innovation and entrepreneurship as new growth engines.
The economic numbers might continue to look undesirable in years to come, especially for sectors burdened with overcapacity. There will be a tough battle
ahead to deepen reforms. The Chinese leadership, however, is determined to get
real with reforms despite short-term pains.
Firms in industries facing overcapacity will merger or go bankrupt. The bloated state-owned enterprises will be streamlined. The government will be
committed to pushing forward structural reforms, especially on the supply
side Nike Air Max 97 Dames Kopen , to reduce overcapacity, destock, deleverage, lower cost and shore up weak growth areas.
Of course there will be no miraculous V-shape economic recovery, but after painstaking structural reforms Nike Air Max 97 Zilver Kopen , the world can expect a more sustainable and vibrant Chinese economy.
