Chongqing Municipal Government (CMG) is implementing the Chongqing Urban- Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration Project with support from Asian Development Bank (ADB). The Project will support physical investment in road and water supply upgrading in eight priority districts and counties. The Project will include 30 sub-components including 21 road sub-components and 9 water supply sub-components. Project benefits and risks. The key Project benefits will be (i) improved road access linking rural communities directly with markets, increasing incomes, reducing costs through transport savings, and providing access to jobs in the towns; (ii) improvements to the quality and quantity of the water supply reducing the incidence of waterborne infections (WBIs) and associated medical costs; (iii) the creation of a significant number of temporary jobs in the construction areas, which, together with the impacts of local procurement, will facilitate local economic development; and (iv) increased health and hygiene awareness (including public and environmental health). The potentially negative impacts will be (i) temporary impacts associated with construction such as dust and noise; (ii) the need for resettlement and land acquisition; and (iii) the possible disruptions that could arise for neighboring villages from construction camps – in particular, in relation to the spread of communicable diseases. Trigger for EMDP. Of the eight components, Qianjiang, Youyang and Xiushan, the three southeastern component areas, are Tujia-Miao autonomous district and counties with respectively 72.8%, 83.9%, and 52.3% ethnic minority people. Qingshui Township in Yunyang County, in the northeast, is an ethnic minority township where nearly a third of the population is ethnic minority. In the overall Project Area the ethnic minority population accounts for approximately 8.1% of the total population. The poverty rate in the three ethnic minority counties ranges from 8.8% in Qianjiang (ranking 7th out of the eight components for poverty) and 13.8% in Youyang (ranking 2nd out of the eight components for poverty). The poverty rate in Yunyang ranks this county 5th, in the Project Area, and although not an ethnic minority autonomous area it does comprise one town that is classified as an ethnic minority township. The three ethnic minority district and counties also rank in the top four components in respect of the proportion of all villages that are classified as poverty villages (Youyang 1st, Qianjiang 3rd, Xiushan 4th), and Youyang also ranks lowest for per capita GDP. Benefits and Impacts on Ethnic Minority People. The assessment of the nature and distribution of project benefits and adverse impact has been conducted. This indicated that neither the positive nor negative impacts are likely to impact differentially on either the minority or Han people. While the ethnic minority groups have to some degree retained their own culture and livelihoods, the livelihood patterns of Han and the minority are similar. Both minority and Han people will experience resettlement impacts; no ethnic minority communities will be split as a result of relocation. The Project will not affect the customary rights of use or access to land and natural resources, will not affect the cultural or communal integrity or social security status nor undermine the recognition of indigenous knowledge. The Project will have a positive impact on the socio- economic status, health, education and livelihoods of ethnic minority people in the Project areas. The Project’s resettlement plans, environmental management plan (EMP), gender action plan (GAP) and social action plan (SAP) will ensure mitigation of negative impacts, and enhancement of positive impacts on ethnic minority people as well as Han within the components. The assessment concludes that none of the negative impacts will disproportionately affect ethnic minority people by virtue of their ethnicity. A key benefit of the Project – employment during construction – will be maximized for ethnic minority people and women through assurances requiring a target of 30% employment. The EMDP. To ensure that there are no unforeseen Project consequences for minority peoples, attention is given to their involvement and participation in planning and decision-making throughout the entire Project cycle, especially with respect to issues relating to consultation, resettlement, health and hygiene awareness raising, prevention of communicable diseases, and benefits from temporary employment opportunities. An Ethnic Minority Development Plan (EMDP) has been prepared. Key issues addressed in the EMDP include (i) development of mechanisms to ensure that affected ethnic minority people are involved in planning, implementation and monitoring of the Project; (ii) ensuring that impacts and risks are mitigated, and measures or strategies to mitigate risk, such as awareness and prevention of communicable diseases, are developed in a way that can mitigate impacts for ethnic minority, as well as Han, people; and (iii) seeking opportunities to enhance delivery of culturally appropriate benefits under the Project. Participation of ethnic minority people in design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of the Project is the basis for achieving the above objectives and therefore has been emphasized in the EMDP. 1. Introduction 1.1. Background and Context 1. The Poverty and Social Assessment (PSA) for the Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration Project (the Project) indicates that there are two main ethnic minority groups present in the Project Area. In three of the eight component counties and districts there are significant ethnic minority populations; the ethnic people are inter-mixed with the majority Han people, and will experience the same Project impacts. The Project will not directly or indirectly affect the dignity, human rights or culture of the ethnic minority people, nor will it affect the territories or natural or cultural resources that they own, occupy or claim as ancestral domain or asset. The livelihood systems of ethnic minority people, along with Han, will be adversely affected to varying degrees through land acquisition and resettlement. The Project will continue to consult with ethnic minority communities to ensure that they (i) receive culturally appropriate social and economic benefits, (ii) do not suffer adverse impacts as a result of the Project, and (iii) can participate actively in projects that affect them. 2. In addition, the Project

  • Encountering Miao Shamanism
    EPILOGUE: “GHOST MASTER” AT LANGDE: ENCOUNTERING MIAO SHAMANISM The previous chapters have examined the construction of the national- ist ideology in modern China, the research and investigation of southern Chinese minority nationalities, the concerned intellectual debates and polit- ical tensions, as well as the public representation of minority culture. In the epilogue, I will shift my focus to the village-level minority communal life and power relations to illustrate the continuity of shamanism in China and the symbiotic relationship between the shamanistic authority and political power. The main players here are the retired CCP Party secretary of a Miao I want to point out that the use of the terms “shaman” and “shamanism” is due to the convenience of understanding and the fact that Langde “ghost master” (guishi in Han Chinese) share the functional roles as the shaman in Manchuria and northeast Asia of being spiritual medium and communicator to the dead. Yet there are also two differences: one is linguistic, the word “shaman” has very probable Tungstic origin, and the other is gender. While North Asian shamans have traditional women, at Langde, the Miao ghost masters are usually men, and other ethnographic accounts about southern Chinese minority groups depict male shamans more than female shamans. For discussion of Manchu/northeast Asian shamanism, see Mark C.

  • Appendix 1. a Brief Description of China's 56 Ethnic Groups
    Appendix 1. A Brief Description of China’s 56 Ethnic Groups Throughout history, race, language and religion have divided China as much as physical terrain, political fiat and conquest.1 However, it is always a politically sensitive issue to identify those non-Han people as different ethnic groups. As a result, the total number of ethnic groups has never been fixed precisely in China. For example, in 1953, only 42 ethnic peoples were identified, while the number increased to 54 in 1964 and 56 in 1982. Of course, this does not include the unknown ethnic groups as well as foreigners with Chinese citizenship.2 Specifically, China’s current 56 ethnic groups are, in alphabetical order, Achang, Bai, Baonan, Blang, Buyi, Dai, Daur, Deang, Derung, Dong, Dongxiang, Ewenki, Gaoshan, Gelao, Han, Hani, Hezhe, Hui, Jing, Jingpo, Jino, Kazak, Kirgiz, Korean, Lahu, Lhoba, Li, Lisu, Manchu, 1 The text is prepared by Rongxing Guo based on the following sources: (i) The Ethnic Minorities in China (title in Chinese: “zhongguo shaoshu minzu”, edited by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (SEAC) of the People’s Republic of China and published in 2010 by the Central Nationality University Press, Beijing) and (ii) the introductory text of China’s 56 ethnic groups (in Chinese, available at http://www.seac.gov.cn/col/col107/index.html, accessed on 2016–06–20). 2 As of 2010, when the Sixth National Population Census of the People’s Republic of China was conducted, the populations of the unknown ethnic groups and foreigners with Chinese citizenship were 640,101 and 1448, respectively.
