China: AQSIQ Grants Approval to New Fresh

While some of China's more recent produce import designation areas have been inland to the west in Sichuan and Xinjiang, authorities have now opened up plans for another coastal import destination in one of the country's most affluent provinces. Last month, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) granted official approval for the Zhujiajian Xi'ao area of the Putuo District, Zhoushan City, as an imported fresh produce entry point. The inspection point will be at the Zhejiang-Taiwan Direct Flight Terminal on the small island that lies off the coast of Ningbo, and is a 292km (181mi) drive south from Shanghai. According to a Putuo district government release, the planned area for the entry point is 108 acres, and will include warehouses, cold storage rooms, container yards and other associated facilities. Construction is scheduled to begin in October. Zhoushan's municipal quarantine and inspection officials shared some details with www.freshfruitportal.com during a recent interview. The project is due for completion in two years, and AQSIQ will send a expert team to conduct acceptance testing. Once the entry point is fully established, it will be open for trade with Taiwanese produce goods first, and gradually become open to fresh produce imports from other countries. The processing capacity of the planned entry point has yet to be determined. According to the Zhoushan port's website, mot of the imported fresh produce that comes into Zhoushan are shipped from Taiwan by sea. The Putuo district has received preferential fresh produce policies from the central government. In 2007, Shenjiamen - located on the south-east part of Zhoushan main island - was recognized by the central government as one of the first group of cities open for small- volume trade with Taiwan. In 2012, the Zhejiang provincial government approved the establishment of the Zhejiang- Taiwan (Putuo, Zhoushan) Trade and Commerce Cooperation Zone, in an effort to transform Zhoushan (Putuo) into a trading platform between mainland China and Taiwan with a national scope. It is reported that the Zhejiang-Taiwan (Putuo, Zhoushan) Trade and Commerce Cooperation Zone is set to open by October this year. FreshFruitPortal.com www.freshfruitportal.com FreshFruitPortal.com.

A Survey of Marine Coastal Litters Around Zhoushan Island, China and Their Impacts
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article A Survey of Marine Coastal Litters around Zhoushan Island, China and Their Impacts Xuehua Ma 1, Yi Zhou 1, Luyi Yang 1 and Jianfeng Tong 1,2,3,* 1 College of Marine Science, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China; [email protected] (X.M.); [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (L.Y.) 2 National Engineering Research Center for Oceanic Fisheries, Shanghai 201306, China 3 Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center for Marine Science and Technology, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Rapid development of the economy increased marine litter around Zhoushan Island. Social- ecological scenario studies can help to develop strategies to adapt to such change. To investigate the present situation of marine litter pollution, a stratified random sampling (StRS) method was applied to survey the distribution of marine coastal litters around Zhoushan Island. A univariate analysis of variance was conducted to access the amount of litter in different landforms that include mudflats, artificial and rocky beaches. In addition, two questionnaires were designed for local fishermen and tourists to provide social scenarios. The results showed that the distribution of litter in different landforms was significantly different, while the distribution of litter in different sampling points had no significant difference. The StRS survey showed to be a valuable method for giving a relative overview of beach litter around Zhoushan Island with less effort in a future survey. The questionnaire feedbacks helped to understand the source of marine litter and showed the impact on the local environment and economy.

Huatai Circular
Circular Ref No.: PNI[2020]09 Date: 12 Aug 2020 Advisory on Navigating in Fishing Areas in/around Ningbo-Zhoushan Port In accordance with Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China, Regulation of Zhejiang Province on Fishery and Several Opinions of the Government of Zhejiang Province on Restoration and Revitalization of Fishery of Zhejiang, as from August 1st, the fishing ban at the Yellow Sea and the East Sea between north latitude 35°~26°30' has lifted for the fishing boat with several operating types, inclusive of trawlers using spar drag method for shrimp, pots cast method, gill nets method and lighting enclosure (cladding) net method、stretch net fishing and dustpan net fishing. The fishing ban at the above area will be totally lifted on September 16th. The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, located in the central and northern part of the coastal area of Zhejiang province, is the “T” intersection for China Yangtze River economic belt and China coastal transport. This intersection is a busy maritime highway, rich in fishery resources, and complex meteorological and hydrological conditions. During the fishing flood season, the average daily flow of all kinds of vessels can be as high as 5,000, and the east-west fishing boats overlap with the north-south shipping routes, increasing the probability of collision incidents. North-south shipping routes and east-west fishing boats In order to cope with the risk of collision caused by the increase of navigation density of ships during the fishing season, Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration puts forward the following collision prevention advisories for foreign ships navigating through the waters of Ningbo-Zhoushan: 1.

Compared with existing research, we developed an integrated index system that accurately represents the overall effect of the three subsystems of UTA, and a new weight determination method, the structure entropy weight (SEW), was introduced. Then, we constructed a coordinated development index (CDI) of UTA to measure the level of sustainability of new-type urbanization. This study also analyzed trends observed in UTA for 11 cities in Zhejiang Province of China, using statistical panel data collected from 2006 to 2017. The results showed that: (1) urbanization efficiency, the benefits of technological innovation, and air quality weigh the most in the indicator systems, which indicates that they are key factors in the behavior of UTA. The subsystem scores of the 11 cities show regional differences to some extent. (2) Comparing the coordination level of UTA subsystems, we found that the order is: coordination degree of UT > coordination degree of UA > coordination degree of TA.

Clean Air as an Experience Good in Urban China Matthew E. Kahn, Weizeng Sun, and Siqi Zheng NBER Working Paper No. 27790 September 2020 JEL No. Q52,Q53 ABSTRACT The surprise economic shutdown due to COVID-19 caused a sharp improvement in urban air quality in many previously heavily polluted Chinese cities. If clean air is a valued experience good, then this short-term reduction in pollution in spring 2020 could have persistent medium- term effects on reducing urban pollution levels as cities adopt new “blue sky” regulations to maintain recent pollution progress. We document that China’s cross-city Environmental Kuznets Curve shifts as a function of a city’s demand for clean air. We rank 144 cities in China based on their population’s baseline sensitivity to air pollution and with respect to their recent air pollution gains due to the COVID shutdown.
