GRAND HARBOUR, Malta, Feb 27, 2011
The second cruiseship chartered by the Chinese Embassy in Malta to evacuate Chinese nationals from Libya docked at Malta's Grand Harbour in Valletta, early morning on Monday.
A diplomatic source from the Chinese embassy in Malta told Xinhua that the ship carried 1,643 Chinese nationals from the Libyan port city Misurata.
The Chinese ambassador to Malta, Zhang Keyuan, visited some of the evacuees.
The first cruise ship the Chinese embassy in Malta chartered for the evacuation operation arrived in Malta on Saturday with 2,235 Chinese nationals, who are mainly employees of two Chinese construction companies in Libya.
The third ship the embassy chartered is scheduled to reach Malta on Monday afternoon, with nearly 1,000 evacuated Chinese nationals.
A group of 48 Chinese students also arrived in Malta from Tripoli on Monday, with the help of the Chinese embassy in the Libyan capital city.
They said the situation in Tripoli was relatively calm in the week before they were ordered to evacuate on Saturday.
A total of 22 employees of Chinese IT company Huawei were also taken from Libya to Malta on a ship, with assistance offered by an organization which calls itself International SOS.

Prominent Washington aide John Wheeler was assassinated by a hitman in a targeted killing, his widow has claimed.
Katherine Klyce said the way her late husband’s body was dumped at a landfill site could only have been carried out by a professional.
The 66-year-old suggested his work with the Pentagon over his decades-long career could have made him enemies who wanted rid of him.
The body of Mr Wheeler, 66, a former Army officer who was instrumental in building the iconic Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington DC, was discovered on a landfill in Wilmington, Delaware, on New Year’s Eve.

CHINA TRIES TO QUASH "JASMINE REVOLUTION " .
Chinese authorities moved quickly and with force to quash a pro-democracy ‘Jasmine Revolution’, believed to have been inspired by the recent uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa.
More police than usual were scrambled to line the streets today, and there were a number of activists detained after online sites had organised staged protests in Beijing, Shanghai and 11 other major cities.
Citizens were urged to shout: ‘We want food, we want work, we want housing, we want fairness’ – a slogan that highlights common complaints among ordinary Chinese.
Many activists said they didn’t know who was behind the campaign and weren’t sure what to make of the call to protest, which was first posted on U.S.-based, Chinese-language website Boxun.com.

DIABETIC'S DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT AGAINST RESTAURANT
Diabetic's discrimination lawsuit against restaurant is hard to swallow
David Martin was in the mood for raw fish, and he liked the deal offered by a Studio City sushi restaurant: all you can eat for $28.
He took a seat at the counter and started ordering. But it turned out that Martin didn't really want sushi, which includes rice; he wanted all-you-can-eat sashimi, which is just fish. He began picking the seafood off the top and leaving the rice.
Restaurant owner Jay Oh told Martin that if he wanted the all-you-can-eat price, he'd have to eat the rice too and not just fill up on fish. Martin replied that he has diabetes and that he can't eat rice…
