BEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Local authorities in southwest China are moving to clamp down on food price hikes as the worst drought in decades shows no sign of easing.Authorities in Guiyang, capital of the poverty-stricken mountainous Guizhou province, have indicated they would step up price monitoring and crack down on price gouging.Vegetable vendors will be fined up to 100,000 yuan (14,650 U.S. dollars) if they are found involved in jacking up vegetable prices. The maximum fine for businesses is 1 million yuan.In Kunming, capital of the hardest-hit Yunnan province, the local government is monitoring food prices and supply on a daily basis. Local price control and industry and commerce authorities have launched campaigns to crack down on food hoarding and price gouging.Local governments in their neighboring regions have taken similar measures to prevent huge rises in prices of grain, edible oil, and vegetables.The dry weather has been ravaging southwest China for months, affecting 61.3 million residents and 5 million hectares of crops in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Guangxi.The worsening drought has damaged wide swathes of vegetables and sparked sharp price hikes. Many vegetable prices have more than doubled.Hou Junfa, a purchasing manager in a hotel in Nanning, capital of Guangxi, said vegetable prices continued to surge even after the Chinese Lunar New Year when prices usually fall.Wang Wenying, a wholesaler in Nanning, said that prices of onion and potato continued to rise because of output declines in Yunnan, a main vegetable producing region.The price hikes have resulted in increases in household expending.A local resident in Nanning, surnamed Yang, said he spent five yuan more on vegetables than a month ago.Some residents choose to buy cheaper vegetables to cut household expending.Amid other efforts to curb huge price rises, the local governments have also started importing vegetables from non-drought-stricken regions to increase supply.Authorities in Kunming earlier in the week bought 250 tonnes of wax gourd, pumpkin, and eggplant from other regions to ease supply shortage in local markets.Prices of grain, including the staple food rice, has recorded relatively moderate gains of about 10 percent.Some sellers, taking advantage of the lingering drought, have started increasing their rice prices in some cities.The drought has caused speculation of further inflation rises as it has damaged hundreds of millions hectares of crops and disrupted spring planting as well.But prices are expected to stabilize as grain is being sent to the drought-stricken regions. China has sufficient grain stock after six years of bumper harvests."The drought has limited impact on China's grain output as the five regions account for a small portion of the country's total output," according to a research note of Dongxing Securities.In addition, the main grain production base in the Northeast is seeing better weather conditions than this time last year.The disaster, however, is set to reduce production of fresh flowers and sugar cane as Yunnan and Guangxi are the main producers of the crops.Retail prices of fresh flowers, as a result, have risen by about 50 percent in many Chinese cities.The decline in sugar cane production would cause China's white sugar output to decline to 11 million tonnes this year, 9 percent lower than the projection in November, the China Sugar Association said.The drought, the worst in 100 years in Yunnan and parts of Guizhou, would likely to continue till May as no substantial rainfall was expected ahead of the raining season, according to meteorological agencies.It has left 18 million residents and 11.7 million head of livestock in the region with drinking water shortages and caused direct economic losses of 23.7 billion yuan, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said Wednesday in a statement.(Xinhua correspondents Wang Mian in Guangxi, Li Qian, Li Huaiyan in Yunnan, Wang Li in Guizhou also contributed to the stroy.)

SIRTE, Libya, March 27 (Xinhua) -- China expects that the Arab summit in Libya can coordinate the inter-Arab relations and make achievements in the Palestinian cause, a senior Chinese diplomat said here on Saturday."We hope the Arab countries could coordinate internal relations and achieve positive results in reconciliation among Palestinian factions as well as the resumption of Palestinian-Israeli talks at the summit," said China's Special Envoy to Middle East Wu Sike in an interview with Xinhua on the sidelines of the 22nd Arab Summit in the Libyan city of Sirte.As a special representative of Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, Wu attended the opening ceremony of the summit at the invitation of the Arab League Secretariat. He transmitted a letter of Chinese President Hu Jintao to the Arab leaders."I will convey a strong message of China that we attach great importance to relations with the Arab world, and wish to promote further developments of such relations in the future," Wu said.Wu said China and the Arab world have a long history of friendly relationship. Since the founding of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum, the two sides have seen considerable progress made in the fields of political, economical and cultural exchanges as well as energy and environmental cooperation, and more than 10 mechanisms on exchange and cooperation have been established."China-Arab Cooperation Forum has become a successful brand," said Wu.Wu said before coming to Libya, he participated in a reception in Beijing together with Arab diplomats to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the establishment of the Arab League. These ambassadors and representatives highly appreciated the relationship between China and the Arab countries.Wu also said he would brief the Arab League headquarters and Arab foreign ministers on China's preparatory work for the foreign ministers meeting under the mechanism of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum to be held in May and convey the invitation of Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.Asked about the Palestinian issue, Wu said "As a friend of the Arab world and the Palestinian people, China is very concerned about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and has made unremitting efforts to push the issue solved through political negotiations."To achieve a comprehensive settlement of the Middle East issue and establish an independent Palestinian state are China's consistent position, he added."There are some new developments of this issue, and China has been in contact with concerned parties to promote the peace process," he said.The annual Arab summit opened here earlier in the day. The two- day gathering will focus on a package of issues facing the Arab leaders, including rescuing East Jerusalem from Israeli violation, the reconciliation of the Arab world and the Iranian nuclear issue.

WASHINGTON, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Powered by strong domestic demand, China's economy is expected to grow by 10 percent in 2010, said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday."In China, GDP growth exceeded the government's 8 percent target in 2009 and is expected to be close to 10 percent in both 2010 and 2011. What has been so far mainly a publicly driven growth path, built on infrastructure investment, is expected to turn toward stronger private consumption and investment," said the IMF in its latest World Economic Outlook report."Boosting domestic consumption will be a priority in China, through improved access to finance for small enterprises and households and stronger corporate governance and social safety nets to reduce precautionary saving," said the IMF.According to the report, in which the IMF said Asia's GDP is projected to grow by 7 percent in both 2010 and 2011, the strength in final domestic demand in China is expected to have positive spillovers for other Asian economies, particularly exporters of commodities and capital goods.In the report, the IMF said "the global recovery has evolved better than expected, with activity recovering at varying speeds, tepidly in many advanced economies but solidly in most emerging and developing economies."The world economy, which declined by 0.6 percent in 2009, will recover gradually in 2010 and 2011, growing by 4.2 percent and 4.3 percent respectively, said the IMF.
