JINGHONG, Yunnan, March 27 (Xinhua) -- A governmental decision to go ahead with the sprinkling spree to celebrate a traditional festival has sparked controversy as a prolonged severe drought in southwest China has left tens of millions of people thirsty for water and crops withered.Netizens posted their harsh criticism after Duan Jinhua, head of the information office in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, confirmed in his microblog a week ago that celebrations for the New Year in the ethnic Dai calendar, featuring the sprinkling spree, will not be canceled despite the drought that is ravaging most parts of the province. A woman touches the base of a dry reservoir in the drought-hit Yi Autonomous County of Shilin, southwest China's Yunnan Province, March 25, 2010An online survey on the leading Internet portal Sina.com, showed that 52.3 percent of respondents backed the celebrations while 40 percent regarded it a waste of water.However, the government of the Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture has decided to cancel official celebrations for the Water Sprinkling Festival, and leave local people free for their own choices.The Water Sprinkling Festival, which is also observed by several other ethnic groups in addition to Dai in Yunnan, falls on April 15 this year. The traditional festival was listed a state intangible heritage in 2006 and has become a chance for carnival.Actually, the official celebration in Xishuangbanna would be cut to two hours, three hours shorter than in previous years, and people are encouraged to splash less water, according to Duan.But the cut did not satisfy critics as the worst drought in a century has increasingly become a major national concern.

BONN, Germany, April 10 (Xinhua) -- The Copenhagen Accord should not act as "the third track" of climate talks and the urgent situation calls for all parties advance talks without delay in 2010.That's according to Su Wei, head of the Chinese delegation to the Bonn meeting held from April 9 to 11.Su told Xinhua on Friday that he expected that the ministerial-level U.N. conference to be held in Cancun, Mexico in December could achieve "three interdependent targets," as the 2009 Copenhagen summit failed to fulfill the task assigned by the Bali Roadmap."The first is to confirm quantified post-2012 emission-cut targets for the developed countries bound by the Kyoto Protocol," he said, "The second, the developed countries which haven't endorsed the Protocol should determine comparable emission-cut goals under the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).""Last but not least, developed countries should provide practical support to developing countries on climate funds and technology transfer," Su said.The Copenhagen Accord, which was put forward at the last minute after marathon talks in late 2009, reaffirmed the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" for developed and developing nations.It also upheld the dual-track negotiating mechanism of the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol and reached important political consensus on several key issues, such as climate financing, long-term objectives and transparency of mitigation measures, Su told Xinhua."One of the prior tasks at present is that the political consensus achieved in Copenhagen should be reflected in the negotiating texts of the two working groups, so as to push the negotiations forward in 2010," he said.The two working groups, both under U.N. framework, are named as the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP).Su also said that the Copenhagen Accord was an important political declaration on climate talks, but the deal itself could not substitute for the dual-track mechanism set by the Bali Roadmap in late 2007."The accord cannot be the third track, and all parties should continue the negotiating process under the existing dual-track mechanism, and focus on pending issues left by Copenhagen summit," he said.Su called for more climate meetings this year for both working groups, so that all parties could have plenty of time to "fully exchange their concerns and positions.""Developing countries, such as African nations, are the most vulnerable to global warming and in need of financial and technological support from developed countries when facing climate challenges," he said."The current process has lagged behind the schedule set by the Bali Roadmap, urging us to accelerate the negotiating process to prevent further damages," he added."Affected by internal economic crisis, some developed countries tend to strides back in climate issues, as the public's environmental enthusiasm diminished," Su warned. "Some rich nations emphasized their economic recovery while weakening efforts on climate aid and technological assistance for developing countries.""This backward gesture of rich countries sent strong negative signals to the ongoing climate talks," Su said.The Copenhagen Accord had pledged to offer 10 billion U.S. dollars per year to help poor countries combating climate change in the next three years, known as "the fast-track approach" and to boost the aid to 100 billion dollars annually by 2020."The amount of the money was apparently inadequate, compared with the tough mission of fighting climate change, but it was still far better than none," he said. "What we hope is that these promises can be converted into real actions, to fulfill the urgent demands of some poor countries on tackling climate change."He also noted that the United States, the main emitter and player in climate talks, remains "uncertain" on its actions of emission cutting, as the country's carbon-capping bill seemed stalled in the Senate."The international community expects the United States, the leading economy in the world, to make positive contributions on emission reduction and long-term climate financing mechanisms, which would weigh a lot for promoting the U.N. climate negotiations," he said.As for China, Su said his country would continue to play an active and constructive role, demonstrate utmost sincerity and make its best effort for reaching a widely accepted framework on combating climate change.The United Nations held a new session of formal climate change negotiation in the German city of Bonn from April 9 to 11, the first round this year, aimed at drawing up a calendar on climate talks for the whole 2010.Another session of U.N. climate talks will also take place in Bonn, headquarters of U.N. Climate Change Secretariat, from May 31 to June 11

BEIJING, May 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao encouraged college students to help advance the country's modernization drive on the eve of Youth Day, calling on them to "nourish lofty ambitions."Replying a letter from students and teachers of the China Agricultural University, Hu said he hoped they could nourish lofty ambitions and contribute to the country's endeavor to solve the issues concerning agriculture, farmers and rural areas.He said the issues are on the top agenda of the central authorities, and the modernization of agriculture is a major task in the country's overall plan to realize modernization.The task means huge responsibility for colleges and institutes specialized in agricultural studies, while at the same time it also offers a platform for agriculture learners and researchers to display their talents, Hu said.The Beijing-based university is a top higher learning institution specialized in agriculture in China. Hu visited the university and talked with students and teachers there a year earlier before Youth Day, which falls on May 4.

BEIJING, May 14 (Xinhua) -- China's Vice Premier Li Keqiang Friday called for the development of a recycling economy to improve resource utilization efficiency and protect the environment.Developing a recycling economy was a significant mission for China, which urgently needed to change its economic growth mode of "high consumption, high pollution and poor recycling," said Li in an inspection tour to a state recycling economy pilot base under ChinaChem Group.Li said developing a recycling economy would help the enterprises improve product structures, fuel technology innovation and improve competitiveness. China's Vice Premier Li Keqiang (C) speaks during a meeting as he makes an inspection tour to a state recycling economy pilot base under ChinaChem Group in Beijing, China, May 14, 2010. Li Friday called for the development of a recycling economy to improve resource utilization efficiency and protect the environment.He called for a combination of resource conservation, environment protection and economic efficiency to cultivate emerging "green" industries.Authorities should transform traditional industries by promoting a clean, efficient and safe production, said Li.Li also called for more investment in recycling economy development, and implementation of supporting government fiscal, pricing and financial policies.

BEIJING, May 13 -- The proportion of China's GDP that goes toward wages has been shrinking for 22 consecutive years, a senior trade union official said on Wednesday.Zhang Jianguo, chief of the collective contracts department with the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), also warned that low pay, long working hours and poor working conditions for millions of workers are triggering conflicts and mass incidents, which pose a grave challenge to social stability.The proportion of the country's GDP that makes up wages and salaries peaked at 56.5 percent in 1983 and dropped to 36.7 percent in 2005, Zhang said."The proportion has not changed too much since then. In contrast, the proportion of returns on capital in GDP had risen by 20 percent during the period from 1978 to 2005," Zhang said in an interview posted on the ACFTU's website.The annual average wages of workers in urban areas had increased from 12,422 yuan (,819) in 2002 to 29,229 yuan in 2008, statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics showed.However, the gap between the rich and poor has been widening in the country and is also growing between urban and rural areas, different provinces and cities, as well as in different industries, he said.About one-quarter of respondents in the latest ACFTU survey said their incomes have not increased in the past five years, while 75.2 percent of them said that current income distribution is not fair. Similarly, 61 percent of those polled said the wages of laborers were low.China developed a capital-labor negotiation system for determining wages in 1994 and it was thought to be the most effective way of increasing workers' salaries.However, "since many cadres of trade unions fail to adequately protect workers' rights, it is very difficult to promote more collective contracts to benefit more workers", Zhang said.By 2009, there were more than 1.2 million collective contracts nationwide, covering more than 2.1 million enterprises and 161 million employees.
