HAVANA Nike PG 2 Australia , Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- The expansion and renovation of the port of Santiago de Cuba, in Cuba's second largest city, is on track thanks to a 100-million-U.S.-dollar line of credit from the Chinese government.


Construction will be underway in the second half of 2016, following preparatory work that began in 2015, said Juan Carlos Gonzalez, an official at the Cuban Transport Ministry, who was quoted by local TV earlier this week.


The expansion work, which will be conducted by China Communications Construction Company Ltd., included the building of a new 230-meter-long pier where high-tech cranes will be able to speed up cargo services, as well as railways and logistic centers that help connect the port with the rest of the country, according to the Chinese company and the Cuban government.


Leonardo Naranjo, head of port services, said the bay of Santiago de Cuba will be dredged to a depth of 11 meters to accommodate larger ships of up to 55,000 tons. The port's current maximum capacity is for 25,000-ton ships.


The port of Santiago de Cuba is home to numerous industries vital to the Cuban economy, including a cement factory, an oil refinery, two shipyards, wheat mills, and a refrigeration plant for the fishing industry, and is also a railroad hub.


The new multi-purpose terminal will make it faster, easier and more cost effective for Cuba's eastern provinces to export and import goods, while generating jobs, said Naranjo.


The terminal's location in southeastern Cuba makes it ideal for trading with a range of global maritime routes, as evident by the hundreds of ships that ply its Caribbean waters each day on their way to or from the Panama Canal and other key Central and South American ports.


Santiago de Cuba, located 900 km east of Havana, is expected to be home of Cuba's second largest deep-water port and economic development zone, after the Port of Mariel, 45 km west of the capital Havana.


CAIRO, June 23, (Xinhua) -- An Egyptian court on Monday sentenced three Al-Jazeera journalists including Australian Peter Greste to seven years in jail after accusing them of aiding the Muslim Brotherhood.


The Australian reporter Greste and two others worked for Qatar- based Al-Jazeera English channel were arrested in December as part of a sweeping crackdown on Islamist supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.


BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Tesla Motors Inc, the United States-based electric car producer, is being sued in China for trademark infringement in the latest example of the difficulties foreign firms face while doing business in the country.


Zhan Baosheng, who registered rights to the name before Tesla entered China, wants Tesla to shut its showrooms, service centers and supercharging facilities in China; stop all sales and marketing activities in the country; and pay him 23.9 million yuan ($3.9 million) in compensation, according to a lawsuit filed July 3 in Beijing.


Zhan is the one attempting to steal the US carmaker's property, Simon Sproule, a spokesman for Tesla, said in an e-mail. The company, which has lodged complaints against Zhan to Chinese authorities and won, has not been served with or seen the lawsuit, he said.


The lawsuit would need to overcome a ruling last year in which the Chinese regulator sided with the US carmaker's claims that Zhan's trademarks were invalid, though he is appealing the regulator's decision. For Tesla, the experience puts it with Apple Inc and Burberry Group Plc among multinational companies that have clashed over branding rights in China.


"We'll be watching how China deals with this very closely," said Paul Haswell, a Hong Kong-based technology law partner at Pinsent Masons LLP. "So-called trademark trolls watch Western brand development and seek to register brands in China that are relatively well known in the rest of the world before they have any brand recognition in China, then use those trademarks as the brands expand into the East."


Zhan paid a filing fee of 161,500 yuan for the lawsuit, according to a court receipt. An official at the Beijing Third Intermediate Court, on condition of anonymity, confirmed a lawsuit had been filed against Tesla by Zhan.


Zhan applied to trademark the name in English in September 2006, three years after Tesla was founded in the US, for auto-related uses, and that request was granted by the trademark office in June 2009 for a period of 10 years, according to the website of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce. SAIC revoked his Tesla trademarks in July 2013 in response to the US carmaker's request. Zhan said he has appealed and the case is under review.
