BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) -- With China's traditional holiday for honoring the dead falling on Monday, throngs of people jostle along the 2-km road in Liudaokou village, Tianjin Municipality, where more than 100 wholesale funeral supply shops compete for business."This urn is 170 yuan (24.9 U.S. dollars) wholesale, 1,000 yuan retail here. A retailer can sell it for 5,000 yuan in the city," says saleswoman Li Na, pointing at a plain red wood urn inscribed with two Chinese characters "bai fu", or a hundred blessings."It's easy money," says Li. "Take urns for example, no one wants to bargain for a container of his father, mother or whoever's ashes."In a country where about 10 million people die every year, the funeral industry market is worth tens of billions yuan, says Hao Maishou, a researcher with Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences.However, a lack of market standards and management is allowing unscrupulous business people to monopolize areas of the industry and exploit people's grief, Hao adds.URN PRICESIn another shop, tags claim that the urns, priced from 200 to 600 yuan, are made of rare and precious ebony or redwood, a claim that invites questions.Li says, "Of course they are not made of ebony or redwood, or they would not be so inexpensive, but if the urns were finely made and tagged with high prices, customers wouldn't doubt it."Wang Na, owner of Lingzhitang funeral supply shop, teaches a novice retailer to sell a 200-yuan urn for 5,000 yuan. "Say it's ebony, rosewood, redwood or whatever precious material and quote high. Customers like premium urns. They won't buy cheap ones."Elaborate funeral remains a traditional culture of the Chinese, as nobody wants to be regarded as stingy or unfilial on funeral issues, especially for deceased family members, says a Tianjin businessman involved in funeral service, who only identifies himself as Liu."As long as you understand and utilize such a feeling, you are guaranteed to make a pile," Liu says.At an urban Tianjin funeral home, a government-run facility that provides cremation and funeral services, an "ebony" urn bearing the traditional painting, Riverside Scene on Tomb-sweeping Day, sells for 12,800 yuan while the same urn costs only 1,100 yuan in Liudaokou.A plain-looking urn inscribed "Always remembered" in Chinese characters is priced at 10,000 yuan. Urns of the same inscription, materials and shape sell for 180 yuan in Liudaokou.

BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- China's parliament on Thursday adopted a revision to the Law on Guarding State Secrets which narrowed the definition of "state secrets," in an effort to boost transparency.The amended law was approved by lawmakers at the end of the four-day bimonthly session of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, or the top legislature, after three reviews, the first of which began last June.State secrets have a clearer definition in the amended law. They are defined as information concerning state security and interests and, if leaked, would damage state security and interests in the areas of politics, economy and national defense, among others.It also raises the level of government departments that can classify information a state secret.The National Administration for the Protection of State Secrets and local bureaus above the county level are responsible for national and local classification, respectively.Prof. Wang Xixin at Peking University Law School said the number of state secrets will decline as fewer levels of government departments have the power to classify information as a state secret."It will help boost government transparency," Wang said.Local officials often use the excuse "state secrets" to avoid answering inquiries from the public properly.After the amended law takes effect in October, governments under the county level will have to respond to public questioning with more openness and without the power to classify information as a state secret, Wang said.According to the amended law, there will be more complicated but standardized procedures to classify information a state secret which will eliminate "random classification."The amended law also grants more responsibility to classification departments and units, which will be penalized if they do not properly classify information.It also defines secrecy levels and authority limits, and clarifies time limits for differing levels of confidentiality and conditions for declassification.It says the time limit for keeping top-level secrets should be no more than 30 years; no more than 20 years for low-level state secrets; and at most 10 years for ordinary state secrets.Wang said reducing the number of state secrets will improve state secrets protection, as "the protection work would be difficult if there are many state secrets, and more manpower and resources would be used.""The more state secrets, the 'number' the public will be," he said.He said the revision to the law also enhances China's image on the international stage, as the country should narrow the gamut of state secret as it conducts increased international exchange.The call to amend the state secrets law strengthened when the State Council issued a regulation on government transparency in May 2008 which said "a broad definition for state secrets" is not in line with the public's right to know.INTERNET LEAKSThe rapid development of the Internet poses great challenges to the protection of state secrets, with Internet leaks of confidential information frequently occurring, observers say.The amended law requires Internet operators and other public information network service providers to cooperate with public and state security departments and prosecutors in probes of state secret leaks.Prof. Wang said, "Such stipulations are necessary," as fast information transmission can easily cause leaks of state secrets and many countries have similar requirements on network operators."If a sensitive photo is put online, people see it and they may obtain state secrets from it. That's very simple. But people cannot judge whether it is a state secret or not. They may take for granted the information has already been released by the government," he said."Information transmissions must be immediately stopped if they are found to contain state secrets, and once a leak has been discovered, records should be kept and it must be reported to the public security and state security departments in charge of confidentiality."The information relating to state secrets should be removed according to orders of relative departments," the amendment says.Wang said efforts must be made to ensure such clauses are not abused by authorities to invade citizens' privacy.He added more specific measures should be enacted to implement the rules."It should be carried out without harming the openness of the Internet," he said.

BEIJING, May 13 (Xinhua) -- Senior Chinese leader He Guoqiang on Thursday met with the crew of a TV series that commemorates the life of a discipline inspection chief, urging officials across the country to devote themselves to uncorrupt, people-oriented work.The 21-episode "Yuan Shan De Hong Ye" (Red Leaves on the Faraway Mountains), to be broadcast by the China Central Television, is a biography of Wang Ying, who worked in Nanjiang County in southwestern Sichuan Province.Wang was widely known as a devoted Communist Party of China (CPC)official with a just, caring and uncorrupt work style. She died in November 2008 at the age of 47."A large number of outstanding Party officials and cadres have emerged across the country. Comrade Wang Yi is one representative from the discipline inspection field," said He, a member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee, when meeting with the crew before the drama's premiere ceremony."To present Wang's story in an artistic way is to educate and promote all Party members and officials and the general public to learn from her spirit," said He, also head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC.He urged Party members and officials, especially those in discipline inspection departments, to learn from Wang's loyalty to the Party and the country, her valiant fight against corruption and her love and care for people.

CHICAGO, April 5 (Xinhua) -- There are some very exciting opportunities for collaboration between the United States and China in carbon exchange, said a senior executive in Chicago Monday.Richard L. Sandor is chairman and founder of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), the world's first and North America's only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas cap-and-trade system. Sandor is also chairman of the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange ( CCFE), the world's leading futures exchange for environmental products.Sandor told Xinhua in an exclusive interview, "I recently spent two weeks in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Hong Kong. My view, based on the people I've met with on my trips and that I work with everyday, is that there are some very exciting opportunities for collaboration between the U.S. and China in the field of carbon exchange."He said that a great example is the recent establishment of a joint venture between Chicago Climate Exchange and two Chinese partners -- China National Petroleum Corporation and the City of Tianjin. Working together they will develop an electronic emission trading platform and auction facility for financial products to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions and water pollutants, as well as enhancement of energy efficiency, said Sandor.Sandor added, "The Tianjin Climate Exchange (TCX) has begun to implement pilot initiatives that can help pave the way for a strong market-based infrastructure that facilitates the environmental and policy goals of the People's Republic of China."When talking about the opportunities and challenges facing the U.S.-China collaboration in carbon trading area, Sandor said, "We operate in a range of legal and regulatory frameworks with global affiliates in the United States, Europe, China, Australia and Canada. While each country has unique characteristics that come with different demands and needs, what seems to be clear across the board is the importance a market mechanism will play in meeting those demands."He further explained, "Interest is growing globally in carbon markets as a way to achieve better strategic management of energy costs, new products, new sources of revenue, job creation and poverty alleviation. Going forward this is likely to develop on what could be called a "pluri-lateral" basis. There will be markets in different parts of the world that are linked by similar contracts -- much like you see with crude oil today or like we saw with cotton in the 19th century."The farming and forestry carbon exchange offsets program has been an important part of Chicago Climate Exchange. Sandor said, " Since Chicago Climate Exchange began in 2003, the offsets program has covered approximately 17.2 million acres, 9,000 individual farmers, ranchers and forest owners and 32.4 million metric tons of offsets. Mitigation practices taking place on farms, ranches and forests are good for water, wildlife and the climate, while providing a new income source for rural economies. "Regarding the effect of the offsets program, Sandor said, " Thousands of farmers, foresters and ranchers who commit to exceptional management practices that remove carbon from the air are now earning new income. The verified best practices that are used by land managers make crops better able to weather climate extremes, generate clean economy jobs, and incentivize new techniques that can further cut emissions.""However, this is only a small part of what Chicago Climate Exchange members have been able to achieve," said Sandor. "Of all reductions made by CCX members since 2003, about 15 percent have been through offset projects. The remaining cuts are made through companies that are taking a broad range of steps to reduce their emissions. Electricity generators have implemented efficiency retrofits at power plants, used lower-carbon fuels, and optimized nuclear and hydro plant operations."When commenting on the U.S. legislation on carbon exchange, Sandor told Xinhua, "In June of 2009 a comprehensive climate legislation bill was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives which included a national greenhouse gas reduction and trading system with compliance required starting in 2012. In the Senate, progress continues on multiple fronts. Senator Kerry is currently collaborating with Senators Lieberman and Graham to craft a bill with bipartisan support."He continued, "While policymakers at the federal level work through the details of a federal bill, interest is growing in regionally mandated markets, such as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which trades on the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange ( CCFE). State governments are increasingly looking to encourage renewable power generation and driving growth in renewable markets. "Sandor is also a research professor at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University where he teaches a course on environmental finance. He is a Member of the International Advisory Council of Guanghua School of Management at Peking University and a member of the TERI School of Management Advisory Committee in India. Sandor previously taught at the University of California Berkeley, Stanford University, and Columbia University.

BEIJING, April 22 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government announced a string of emergency measures Wednesday to provide convenient financial services for people in the quake-hit Qinghai Province and to support reconstruction.The People's Bank of China, the central bank, would lower the deposit reserve ratio for financial institutions in the quake area by 1 percentage point from Wednesday to help increase lending, said a statement posted on the website of the central bank.It would also reduce its rediscount rate for local Rural Credit Cooperatives by 1 percentage point to ease their financial burden.The rediscount rate is the interest rate charged to banks and deposit institutions when they borrow money from the central bank.The return of loans extended before the earthquake was not imperative until June 30, 2011. Residents and companies would be exempted from bad credit records if they could return their loans before the deadline, the central bank said.The statement urged local banks to resume business as soon as possible to meet rising demand for financial services.They should set up temporary outlets in tents, extend office hours and take measures to ensure adequate cash supplies so that residents could deposit and withdraw money conveniently.The measures were jointly introduced by the People's Bank of China, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission.The 7.1-magnitude quake struck the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu on April 14, leaving 2,183 people dead, 84 missing, and 12,135 injured as of Wednesday.
