BEIJING, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- Seven Chinese cities and provinces, including the national capital Beijing, will take local officials' water conservation efforts into account when assessing their work performance s in a bid to enhance the enforcement of water management measures.The Ministry of Water Resources has selected seven pilot areas nationwide and asked them to set warning lines for the quantity of water consumption, efficiency of water use and water pollution levels, Bi Xiaogang, spokesman of the Beijing Water Authority, told Xinhua on the sideline of the ongoing annual session of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, the local legislative body."The officials will be held accountable if they fail to keep any of the three indexes under the warning line, and their annual work performance assessments will also be affected," Bi said.The measures might be included in this year's No. 1 central document, or the first document issued by the central committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council every year, he said."It was highly feasible to introduce strict indexes in water management, and associate it with officials' work performance assessments, as it could put an end to sluggish enforcement of regulations," said Zhu Jianyue, a member of the municipal people' s congress.The municipal government would begin formulating the specific criteria of the warning lines in March, and the regulation was expected to be enacted by June, Bi said.He speculated that in the future, the government would draw lessons from its experience on fulfilling the five-year energy-saving and emission reduction goal to manage the country's water resources.In that way, the central government would set water conservation targets for municipalities and provinces, which would subdivide their targets to lower levels of governments, he said, adding whether the local government could meet their targets would be seen as a gauge of their performance evaluation.By then end of 2011, China had basically fulfilled its goals of reducing energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) by around 20 percent and reducing total pollutant emissions by 10 percent from 2005 levels.In China, the per capita amount of water resources is merely one-quarter of the world's average, while the water consumption per 10,000 yuan (about 1,519 U.S. dollars) of GDP is about a dozen times that of developed countries."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao's upcoming visit to the United States is vital to pushing forward bilateral ties, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Zhang Yesui said Saturday.In an interview with Chinese journalists in Washington, Zhang said this year marks the 40th anniversary of the rapprochement between the two countries as well as the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century.Zhang noted that China-U.S. relationship is at a critical period, with two countries making strides in vigorously developing cooperation in various areas, while new challenges arise. At such a time, the visit of President Hu next week will be especially meaningful in pushing forward bilateral ties in the new era.China-U.S. relations have maintained general stability and achieved marked progress since the establishment of diplomatic ties, which has become one of the most important bilateral relations in the world, he said.The two countries have conducted constant communication and dialogues, maintained close economic and trade relations, witnessed frequent exchanges of personnel and enjoyed a wide range of cooperation fields. The two countries have far more common interests than disagreements, dialogue and cooperation is always the defining feature of this relationship, he added.Zhang said China and the United States have different domestic environment, social systems as well as historic and cultural identities. They are also at different stages of development. It is normal for the two sides to have different views and even divisions in certain issues.What is important is to take into account and respect each other's core interests and major concerns, and resolve differences through dialogue and negotiations, he saidAmid deepened globalization with more pressing global challenges,Zhang said, China-U.S. ties needed to be viewed in a new perspective. China-U.S. relationship is not a zero-sum game. As long as the two sides work together, enhance dialogue, increase mutual trust and widen cooperation, they can create a win-win situation.He stressed that a stable and developing China-U.S. relationship benefits not only the two peoples, but also contributes to peace, stability and development of the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large. President Hu's visit will give great impetus to the development of China-U.S. relations at a higher level.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday rejected a zero-sum formula on U.S.-China relationship, saying that the two countries have much more to gain from cooperation than from conflict.Delivering a speech on the future relations between the U.S. and China at the State Department, Clinton said it does not make sense to apply zero-sum 19th-century theories of how major powers interact in the 21st century."We reject those views," she said, referring to views which depict China's growth as a "threat" or U.S. policy on China as " containment."The State Department described the speech, delivered to inaugurate an annual forum dedicated to veteran U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke, as setting stage for a state visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao next week.Clinton said that the world is moving through uncharted territory and needs new ways of understanding the shifting dynamics of the international landscape, a landscape marked by emerging centers of influence, but also by nontraditional, even non-state actors and the unprecedented challenges and opportunities created by globalization.This is a fact that is especially applicable to the U.S.-China relationship, she said, noting that the engagement between the two countries can only be understood in the context of this new and more complicated landscape."We are in the same boat. And we will either row in the same direction or we will, unfortunately, cause turmoil and whirlpools that will impact not just our two countries, but many people far beyond either of our borders," she said.The secretary said although the United States and China are two complex nations with very different histories, with profoundly different political systems and outlooks, there is a lot about the two peoples that reminds them of each other: an energy, an entrepreneurial dynamism, a commitment to a better future for one' s children and grandchildren."We are both deeply invested in the current order, and we both have much more to gain from cooperation than from conflict," she said. "That doesn't mean we will not be competitors ... But there are ways of doing it that are more likely to benefit than not.""A peaceful and prosperous Asia-Pacific region is in the interest of both China and the United States. A thriving America is good for China and a thriving China is good for America," the secretary said."So all of this calls for careful, steady, dynamic stewardship of this critical relationship," she said."The choices both sides make in the months and years ahead and the policies we pursue will help determine whether our relationship lives up to its promise, and it is up to both of us to translate high-level pledges of summit and state visits into action, real action on real issues," Clinton said.

LANZHOU, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- Floods caused by torrential rains and tropical cyclones have left at least 3,222 people killed and 1,003 others missing across China in the first eleven months of this year, government statistics released Tuesday show."In 2010, China experienced the worst flooding casualties and damage since 1998," Water Resources Minister Chen Lei said during a national drought and flooding relief workshop held in the northwest city of Lanzhou.Further, the average accumulated rainfall across China this year has increased nearly 10 percent over levels recorded in previous years. In some areas, the figure shot up five times over that recorded in a usual year.Nearly 270 towns and cities were flooded, 437 rivers swelled with water and 111 of them broke past records, and thousands of dams faced dangers, Chen said.Floods also destroyed 2.27 million houses and damaged 17.87 million hectares of farmland, statistics show. The economic loss caused by this year's flooding has reached 374.5 billion yuan (56.74 million U.S. dollars), said officials.

BEIJING, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- During the 11th Five-Year Plan period (2006-2010), China spent 3.26 trillion yuan on social security, an annual increase of 17.6 percent, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) told Xinhua Friday.Wang Jun, vice minister of the MOF, said in the 2006-2010 period, the social security expenditure from the central government stood at 1.4 trillion yuan (210.19 billion U.S. dollars), which was 2.1 times the expenditure in the previous five years.As the improvement of civil welfare is a crucial component of the harmonious society China is pursuing, financial authorities at all levels should continue to raise investments in social security when making the 2011 fiscal budget and plans for the 12th Five-Year Plan starting from 2011, Wang said.
