ZHOUQU, Gansu, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Authorities are set to drain stagnant water by the end of the month which continues to submerge part of a remote mountainous town in northwest China's Gansu Province. This comes three weeks after a devastating mudslide left more than 1,700 people dead or missing, a senior military official said Friday.For weeks, soldiers and work crews have been using explosives and excavators to remove the massive debris and rocks that were swept down by the mudslide into the waterway and formed a barrier lake, flooding the riverside areas of Chengguan Township, Zhouqu County.People's Liberation Army Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Qinsheng, who also serves as the deputy head of the work group for Zhouqu relief under the State Council, announced Friday that the deadline for removing stagnant water is 12 p.m. August 30, and rescue crews are working hard to meet the deadline.Experts have warned that the stagnant water -- at some point rising high enough to completely submerge a street light pole -- would rot the foundations of 80 flooded buildings and caused them to collapse. The water also posed a serious threat to public health, as it was an easy breeding ground for mosquitoes and bacteria.Meanwhile, the government of Zhouqu on Friday ordered the sludge-covered area of the mudslide to be sealed off for both safety and health reasons.This came five days after authorities banned the recovery of bodies in the hard-hit area -- about five kilometers long and 300 to 500 meters wide, at the foot of Sanyanyu Mountain.An avalanche of rocks and mud roared down the Sanyanyu mountain slope at midnight on Aug. 7, leaving 1,456 dead and 309 missing as of Aug. 27. The bodies of the missing, along with an undetermined number of animals, were believed to be buried under the meters-deep sludge.Soldiers have dug a water channel in the sludge-covered area to direct waters into the Bailong River. The mud and debris were carried away and dumped at farmlands outside the town properof Zhouqu. However, they might be stopped from continuing and leave the devastated hard-hit area untouched. Authorities are looking for new areas to settle homeless residents who are now housed in disaster relief tents."No dumping sites can be found for the sludge if the clearing efforts continue. Also, the site sits in an area where mudslides frequently occur. It is not suitable for reconstruction," said a directive issued by the Zhouqu county government. Before the disaster, the county seat, hit by the mudslide, had about 45,000 residents. Nearly half of them lost their homes in the disaster.

BEIJING, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday vowed to continue its financial support to reconstruction projects in areas ravaged by the major Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, promising lower rates on loans and demanding an easier deposit reserve requirement ratio from banks in the regions.The new pledge came in a joint statement on the website of the People's Bank of China, or the central bank, which announced the continued financial support along with the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission.Banks in the quake-hit areas should continue to provide financial support and services to reconstruction projects in the regions, as post-earthquake reconstruction is still in a critical period, the statement said.The magnitude-8.0 quake, with its epicenter in Wenchuan in southwest China's Sichuan Province, left more than 87,000 people dead or missing and more than 374,640 injured. Millions of houses were also flattened during the major quake."We should keep the continuity and stability of our financial support to the regions and make our financial services better targeted and more effective," it said.According to the statement, local banks in the quake-hit areas will continue to enjoy a lower deposit reserve requirement ratio, compared with elsewhere, until June 30, 2011, and such banks will also be exempt from any hike of the reserve requirement ratio during this period.The statement ordered local bank branches in the quake-hit areas to provide prioritized financial services to projects in fields of infrastructure facilities, agriculture, medium and small enterprises, as well as ecological and environmental protection in the region.China's central bank and banking, securities and insurance regulators encourage eligible companies in the quake-hit regions to widen their finance channels through inter-bank short-term bond issuances, bills and other financial instruments, according to the statement.Also, local banks' preferential policies on loans to home reconstruction would remain unchanged in the quake-hit regions, it said.However, loans to projects with high consumption of energy and heavy pollution must be strictly controlled in a bid to facilitate energy-savings and reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the region, according to the statement.Chinese lenders had extended 172.4 billion yuan (25.35 billion U.S. dollars) loans for relief and reconstruction in regions devastated in the earthquake by the end of the first quarter, according to the central bank's figures released in May this year.Outstanding loans at banks in quake-hit provinces, including Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, surged 34 percent year on year to 2.29 trillion yuan at the end of March.

BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- After several similar criminal cases led to greatly varying punishments triggering public concerns, Chinese courts are adopting a series of measures to ensure uniform standards for sentencing criminals.On Oct. 1, two documents that instruct judges on uniform procedures for sentence measurements will be put into use in all Chinese courts, which is said to be a "major reform" for the country's legal system regarding criminal prosecution.According to the new procedures, courts should first set up a penalty baseline for a criminal case based upon basic criminal facts. Then additional punishments will be added according to the amount of money involved, the frequency of the defendants' violations, the consequences and other factors. At last, courts will adjust the results considering the case's overall nature and issue a final sentence.The move came after a series of similar drunk driving cases that led to greatly varying punishments.In July 2009, the Intermediate People's Court of Chengdu in southwestern Sichuan Province sentenced a drunk driver named Sun Weiming to death following an auto accident in which he was driving without a license and killed four people. In the second trial, the verdict was changed to life imprisonment.Sun's case was deemed as a crime against public security.However, one month later another drunk driver in central China's Henan Province only received a jail term of six years and six months for killing six and injuring seven people.That case was ruled to be a traffic accident crime."(The reform) is of significant importance for regulating judicial actions, providing uniform standards for law applications, promoting righteous and uncorrupted justice and boosting the authority and credibility of the country's courts," said Wang Shengjun, president of the Supreme People's Court (SPC), at a Thursday meeting."The Criminal Law only lays down a very wide range of sentences for certain types of crimes, and thus it is very difficult for prosecutors to give a specific sentence based on that," said SPC vice president Xiong Xuanguo in an exclusive interview with Xinhua Thursday.Xiong noted that different judges, given their different knowledge, manners and experience, will also have varied views on the same case.According to the documents, another major change is to introduce advice on sentence measurements from procuratorate organs, including the types and scopes of punishments and how to implement them.Also, courts are allowed to organize public prosecutors, parties involved, their defenders and legal representatives to offer their own advice on sentencing measurements.With the introduction of sentencing measurement advice from defenders, legal representatives and other parties involved, the new rules were expected to balance judges' considerable powers of discretion, said Professor Chen Weidong with the Renmin University of China.According to the SPC, since June last year more than 120 pilot Chinese courts have already been following the new procedures when prosecuting 45,000 criminal cases in 15 regular categories, including traffic accidents, robbery, theft, and drugs, among others.The trial practice has seen positive results as sentences among cases of similar natures and those in different regions were not as varied as before.The rate of appeals and change of sentences in second trials also dropped in these courts, according to Xiong.Meanwhile, Xiong sought to assure those concerned that the new rules would not excessively limit judges' powers as "the standards for sentence measurements, themselves, were made based on all prosecutors' discretion." < "If the measurement results are not appropriate, judges will still have the right to make certain adjustments," Xiong said, adding that local courts will also set down detailed sentence measures according to the characteristics of their regions."The reform is an inevitable process for China's criminal prosecution to transform from rough estimation to precise, scientific and canonical," Professor Chen said.
