朝鲜致电威胁韩国被指意在掩盖国内真实情况
Headline:
In a telegram North Korea threatens the South [which is] hinting at its intention to conceal the real situation inside the country.
这类挑衅通常意在转移外界注意，从而令外界忽视朝鲜国内的真实状况。
The usual intention behind such provocation is to divert the attention of the outside world, thus leading the outside to overlook the real situation within North Korea.

美国军方领导人马丁·邓普西早些时候称，朝鲜可能即将发起军事挑衅。中国外交部发言人华春莹说，中方反对任何损害朝鲜半岛和平稳定的行为，希望有关各方避免采取导致半岛局势紧张升级的言行。
U.S. military leader Martin Dempsey only recently said, North Korea was probably going to start a military provocation.
Hua ChunYing, spokeswoman for China's ministry of foreign affairs, said the Chinese side opposes any damage whatsoever done to peace stabilizing activity on the Korean peninsula, and hopes that all sides refrain from resorting to statements and actions that would cause a tense situation on the peninsula to [further] escalate.

News from China:
习近平与玻利维亚总统就通信卫星发射相互致贺
[China's president] Xi JinPing and Bolivia's president extend their mutual congratulations regarding the launch of a [Bolivian] communication satellite.
The satellite was successfully launched on top of a Long March III rocket from the XiChang facility tonight at 0:42 local time. The satellite's perigee is at 210 km distance, its apogee at 42.165 km distance from Earth, and its actual angle of inclination is reported to be 24°. The procedure of roughly placing the satellite was finished 26 minutes after rocket launch. Plannings and construction for that satellite project, however, had taken 15 years at the Chinese development site.

Editor's Note:
The satellite's orbit is now an elliptic one. In order to reach a circular geostationary orbit at a distance of 42.000 km from Earth, the satellite has still to perform some additional manoeuvres using its own engine. These manoeuvres might last some time. The angle of inclination mentioned above is the angle between the orbit plane and the Earth's equatorial plane. It should be reduced to 0° to ensure maximum performance of the satellite.
