Rising sea levels and falling river water volumes - as forecast in the latest UN report on climate change - could drastically alter weather patterns and cause huge economic losses in China, a senior meteorological official warned Thursday.Luo Yong, deputy director of the Beijing Climate Center affiliated to the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), said there will be more typhoons, floods and land subsidence as a result of global warming.The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released in Spain last Saturday said "human activities could lead to abrupt or irreversible climate changes and impacts".It said that even if factories were shut down and cars taken off roads, the average sea level will rise up to 140 cm over the next 1,000 years from the pre-industrial period of around 1850.In the next 100 years, it said, sea levels will rise by 18-51 cm.More frequent and heavy floods require China - which has an 18,000-km coastline on the mainland - "to build coastal facilities of higher standard," Luo told a press conference.As coastal regions are economically developed areas, the loss from typhoons and floods will be magnified, Luo said.He also warned that higher sea levels will lead to further land subsidence, which is already being seen in some coastal areas.Another major threat from global warming is water shortage, Luo said.In the past 50 years, the six major rivers in the country have seen their water volumes reduced sharply, especially those in the north, such as the Yellow and Huaihe rivers. Ground water storage has also dropped markedly, he added.The water shortage will take a toll on the farming sector, hurting grain production; and industrial and domestic consumption will be affected, he said.Luo said that China will possibly see more flooding in the north and drought in the south, the reverse of the current weather pattern.Song Dong, an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said next month's international talks on global warming in Bali, Indonesia, are expected to focus on greenhouse gas cuts by rich countries and the transfer of more clean technology to developing nations.

The US government should withdraw its complaint against China to the WTO over the intellectual property rights (IPR) issue, China's top IPR official reiterated on Tuesday. "The Chinese government has always been firm in protecting intellectual property rights and attained significant achievements in this respect. It's not a sensible move for the US government to file a complaint against China to the WTO," said Tian Lipu, director of the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO). The United States filed two WTO complaints against China over copyright piracy and restrictions on the sale of US books, music, videos and movies early April. "As far as I know, negotiators from China and the US are still in the consultation stages within the WTO framework," Tian said, speaking at a seminar organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and SIPO in Beijing. He said that it was still hard to predict the result of the consultation since it was the first time China had handled such a complaint. "But we will respond to it positively according to WTO rules and fight through to the end," Tian vowed. According to rules set by WTO, trade negotiators from both countries should try to resolve the dispute within a 60-day consultation period from the day the complaint was lodged. Otherwise, the United States can ask the WTO to establish investigative panels. Tian said it was unreasonable for the United States to ignore the huge progress achieved by China in IPR protection. He stressed that the amount of invention patent applications in China ranked fourth in the world last year and it increased by 28.4 percent on average between 2000 and 2006. "IPR protection is a natural option for building an innovative country. It also serves China's goal for overall development. Therefore, the Chinese government will continue its efforts to protect IPR and combat copyright piracy no matter what decisions the US makes," Tian noted.

The straight definitely became the minority at a cheesy bar, dimly lit in pink, in downtown Beijing Friday night, where the shooting of the Heart of Crystal, China's first ever grassroots gay film was heralded to the mostly gay 100-odd audience.The alternative tearjerker tells of the bittersweet romance between a pair of gay men, inspired by the 42-year-old Beijing-based gay illustrator Mao Zhiyong, also the director.Due out for online screening by the end of the year, the small budget movie, based on Mao's personal experience, aims to show the true-life picture of China's millions of gay men and strive for more social tolerance for the community.Like crystal, love between gay men is usually fragile, while more importantly, transparent and pure, Mao said."So we named it that way."The film tells the story of Jia Ning, a gay men in his 30s and with special blessing on art, fell at the first sight for Xiao Dong, an art student at college. The two break up over misunderstandings.As Jia Ning woke up to the truth that Xiao Dong pursues love rather than money together with him, he moved to Beijing to find Xiao Dong to resume the relationship.Without seeing the one he loved, Jia Ning is caught in chaos because one night stands and a decadent lifestyle in the local gay community.Determined to move away from that lifestyle, he tries to break into the fashion industry and finally succeeds, with fame, wealth, and confidence. And finally he meets Xiao Dong, who will go abroad with his new boyfriend shortly."It's not like the conventional gay story with heroes usually socially and economically marginalized." Mao said. "I want to infuse hope into gay life with my story that there is true love, even if not bearing fruit finally, and that through hard work, lit by ambition, life can be as wonderful as that of the straight."Hong Yiping, straight and 26, said he felt comfortable to play Jia Ning despite a short period of struggle before deciding."I have to play against Collin, a real gay, and in some explicit scenarios in the movie, at first frightened me." Hong, a second line entertainer, told China Daily.Collin, a muscular gay, who plays Xiao Dong, said he first took the role just for fun as he only worked half a day as a coach in a Beijing fitness club, but later found the role to be significant work supported by many people."A self-made and true-to-love man, Jia Ning moves me a lot, so I decided to join and do my share, as a straight, to help them with more support through their voice heard from the movie."Edward Russell, a US journalist said: "It's a huge progress and the Chinese society is more open".

The newly approved Labor Contract Law will not undermine the investment environment although it will better protect workers' interests and rights, China's top trade union body said yesterday. Liu Jichen, director of the law department at the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, denied that the law - which goes into force from January 1 next year - is biased toward employees. "It not only protects workers' interests and rights, but also equally protects employers'," he told a press conference. The law, passed on Friday by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the top legislature, had raised concerns that stricter contract requirements could raise business costs and give companies less flexibility to hire and fire employees. Liu, however, said that the law takes into account employers' interests. For example, he said, employers can sign non-competition contracts with workers, with a non-competition period of not more than two years to encourage innovation and ensure fair competition. So an employer can rest assured that an employee does not walk out at the end of the contract period and join a direct competitor. It also softens the terms under which employers can cut staff - if an enterprise switches to other production, adopts a major technological innovation or changes its mode of business. Liu stressed that the law will help create a harmonious labor relationship. "Labor protection is a worldwide trend," he said. "With working conditions improved and rights protected, employees will feel more secure, which leads to a higher productivity." Liu pointed out most labor disputes result from violations of workers' rights. Because of the huge supply of labor force, workers are in a disadvantaged position, he said. Liu said the federation has succeeded in keeping most of the items on protecting workers' rights and interests in the law. For example, the law makes mandatory the use of written contracts and strongly discourages fixed- or short-term contracts. It also stipulates severance be paid if a fixed-term contract expires but is not renewed without an appropriate reason. The law requires all employers to submit proposed workplace rules or changes for discussion to the workers' congress - concerning pay, work allotment, hours, insurance, safety, holidays and training. Employers and trade unions will then jointly decide on workplace agreements. It stipulates trade unions have the right to sign collective contracts with employers on behalf of workers. In a position paper released yesterday, the European Chamber of Commerce in China said it welcomes the law and its aim of improving labor conditions and creating workplace harmony. "A more mature legal environment should be considered as an advantage in attracting foreign investment," the statement said. However, the chamber said the key challenge remains compliance by employers and the enforcement by authorities of the existing laws.

The central finance department will continue increasing its support to the country's rural areas, sources from a meeting of the political bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee said.The Xinhua News Agency on Saturday cited a political bureau meeting as saying that the country should further muster up strength to solve the problem of its poor agricultural infrastructure and the sluggish development of rural areas by "increasing input in agricultural sectors and rural areas".The report, which comes just days before the Party's 17th National Congress on October 15, the most important political gathering in China which will set guidance for future development, suggests Party leaders are concerned about the urgency needed to improve farmers' lives, analysts said.An anonymous official from the Ministry of Finance said that the central government has made financial support for rural areas a major priority .The country has rolled out a series of preferential policies to boost the development of its vast countryside, home to its more than 700 million rural people, including agricultural taxation reform to alleviate farmers' burden and direct subsidies to ensure gains from growing crops.The State has also exempted farmers from some taxes such as those in the slaughtering and animal husban-dry industry.Statistics from the ministry shows that the central coffers plan to invest 391.7 billion yuan ( billion) in the development of its rural areas this year, an annual increase of 15.3 percent.To further encourage farmers to grow crops, billions of yuan have been allotted for agricultural subsidies for grain prices, seeds, and cultivation facilities.About 125 billion yuan of tax has been waived since the removal of a series of agricultural taxes in recent years, the official said.The results of these preferential policies were obvious, the official said, with statistics showing a fourth consecutive bumper grain harvest this summer.
