BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) -- Newly crowned German champion Bayern Munich will open a store on China's largest on-line retail platform when the club announced the cooperation with e-commerce giant Alibaba here on Wednesday.


The club, believed to have about 90 million fans in China, will sell jerseys and a variety of fan merchandise ranging from genuine apparel for men, women and children as well as other goods including traditional German and Bavarian products of the football team in the store that is set up on Tmall, the business-to-customer platform of Alibaba.


After placing orders, Fans can receive the products in 8 to 10 days delivered by DHL.


As one of the most prestigious clubs in the world, Bayern has sped up its pace to mine China's large soccer market.


"I am glad that we will be moving closer to our huge Chinese fan base. Making our fan merchandise accessible is crucial to connect with our fans in China," said club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.


Jorg Wacker, executive board member of Internationalization and Strategy of Bayern, admitted that China always has been a very attractive market.


"China continues to be our key focus market and plays an important role in our internationalization strategy," he said, adding that he was deeply impressed by Alibaba's stunning 57.1 billion yuan (nine billion U.S. dollars) in sales on China's Singles' Day last year.


The shopping day, falling on Nov. 11 similar to Cyber Monday and Black Friday in the United States, saw an explosion of the buying power of the Chinese consumers.


Jeff Zhang, president of Alibaba's retail marketplaces, believed "it will help Bayern gain easier access to their 90 million Chinese fans by leveraging Alibaba's 350 million users".


Bayern was just one of the top clubs who started to shift their focus to China, a country with 1.3 billion population.


According to a study by Shay Digital Sports in September 2014, 32 European football clubs have established a presence on Sina Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter. Among these clubs, 10 from the Italian Serie A, seven each from the Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga and English Premier League.


Bayern is the leader in Germany while Schalke has more than 950,000 followers and Borussia Dortmund more than 715,000 for the top three.


And four of the 18 Bundesliga clubs - Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg, Schalke and SV Hamburg - have Chinese language versions of their main websites.


These clubs don't just make themselves available online. They actually travel to China for pre-season training camps and friendly matches.


In July, Bayern will play three friendlies against Inter Milan, Valencia and Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande.


Last summer, SV Hamburg and Werder Bremen both spent about a week in China with schedules full of sponsorship meetings, pre-season training, friendly matches against Chinese Super League teams and chances for Chinese fans to see their favorite players live and in person.


BEIJING, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- The year 2014 has witnessed legal progress in China, particularly pardons and retrials, proving that the truth will out.


One high profile case this year was that of Huugjilt from Inner Mongolia, who was found guilty of raping and murdering a woman in a public toilet in Hohhot on April 9, 1996, and executed two months later. At the time of his death, he was 18 years old.


It was announced last week that he had been pardoned. Another man confessed to the murder in 2005 but the case was not reviewed until this year.


BANNING TORTURE IN INTERROGATION


"Historically, illegal methods such as torture and forced testimony were present in almost every miscarriage of justice," said Zhang Liyong, president of the Higher People's Court of central China's Henan Province.


China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) issued new directives last month, ruling that any evidence obtained through torture or intimidation would be nullified in criminal prosecution cases, and death penalty cases under appeal.


"Evidence must be valued. The traditional belief that a testimony is the most paramount [piece of evidence] should be changed, and more attention should be paid to examining and using material evidence," the document said.


Zhang said the new rules represent major progress in the protection of the legal rights of defendants.


Lawyer with the Beijing Yanyuan law firm Liu Hui said although China's judicial environment was improving, not everyone responsible had been brought to justice. Only a handful of case corrections had been carried out, and many were the result of media, public and legal team pressure.


While Huugjilt's name was cleared, many say the battle is far from won.


On Dec. 15, the day when the Mongolian teenager's innocence was announced, a taskforce was formed by the regional Higher People's Court to investigate those responsible for this miscarriage of justice.


Two days later, the deputy director of the public security bureau of Hohhot, Feng Zhiming, was detained. Feng was not only in charge of the.
