ENDORSEMENT LETTER Note on this Update L2980/G0331-PRC: Shaanxi Weinan Luyang Integrated Saline Land Management Project is supporting the WMG to implement environmental and social improvements in the Luyanghu area. The project comprises a five-year $100 million loan (L2980; 2013– 2018), a $2 million grant (G0331) from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and a $350,000 technical assistance (TA8293) grant for wetland and water bird management. The RP (2012 version) was formulated in accordance with the data of project feasibility study report (FSR). The updated RP (2015 version) was based in preliminary design, which optimized the design of the original scheme and changed the data of the original feasibility study scheme resulting from insufficient design precision at initial design stage. Meanwhile, as most impacts of land acquisition occur on saltpan and ditches, etc., the definition of land types was not accurately defined in the FSR, and some saline/alkaline lands were also counted as arable land. So in preliminary design change, the design institutes and project implementing agency further checked the types and quantity of acquired land, so as to ensure the accuracy of data, especially in Component 1 Saline Soil Rehabilitation. Moreover, it was found during implementation that there were several incorrect identification on project LAR impacts for several civil works packages under components 1 & 2 in the updated RP (2015 version). Therefore, there are further revisions to the contents and resettlement impact data in this updated RP (2016 version) based on the detailed design particularly in the packages of Component 1. Besides, the land for Tianlu-Tianjiao Connection has been pre-acquired in 2010 and exclude from the impact scope of the updated RP. Because of the poor communication of information among units before, the RP was not been updated in time. After monitors went to the project sites to recheck and reconfirm, as of January 2016, comparing with the updated edition of August 2015, the permanently occupied land of the project rose from 2,587.8 to 5501.72 mu, and land acquisition types, data of affected population, etc., have changed. Affected cultivated land is increased from 692 mu to 2432.65 mu, whereas non-arable land such as wasteland and saline/alkaline land (salt pan) rose from 1,895.8 mu to 3067.07 mu. This update mainly covers resettlement impacts, compensation and resettlement policies, restoration measures, organizational structure, resettlement budget, resettlement implementation schedule, etc. Table 1 Overview of this update Update Original RP (2012) Former RP(2015) Updated RP (2016) Remarks Identify the LAR impact of Component 1, 854 mu arable land 692 mu arable land 2432.65 mu arable Saline Soil and 1,733.8 mu and 1,895.8 mu land and 3069.07 mu Rehabilitation, non-arable land, non-arable land, non-arable land, Area of land more accurate for 2,587.8 mu land in 2,587.8 mu land in 5501.72 mu land in acquisition (mu) Component 2, total total total Flood Risk Management due to on-site survey i Update Original RP (2012) Former RP(2015) Updated RP (2016) Remarks Impact of land APs increased 1,545 affected 1,455 affected 17,232 affected acquisition 15,777 persons persons in 365 persons in 343 persons in 3,698 Population/hous and AHs increased affected households affected households affected households ehold quantity 3,355 households 4,864.27 mu arable 3,820.17 mu arable 2,042.5 mu arable TLO decreased Area of land and 2,843.33 land and 2,843.33 land and not non- 4621 mu land for temporarily mu non-arable mu non-arable arable land, 2042.5 the Tianlu Lake occupied land land, 7,707.6 mu land, 6,663.5 mu mu land in total excavation doesn’t (mu) land in total land in total occupy land temporarily Demolishment 45 affected persons 45 affected persons 175 affected persons warehouse impacts of and 10 affected and 10 affected and 35 affected building for salt temporarily households with households with households with pan operation buildings 955 m2 temporary 955 m2 temporary 19326 m2 temporary building building building compensation cultivated land cultivated land cultivated land according to the rates compensation CNY compensation CNY compensation CNY local policies and 27000 yuan/mu, 27000 yuan/mu, 28500 yuan/mu in impact area salt pan salt pan Pucheng County, compensation CNY compensation CNY CNY 31063 yuan/mu 5000 yuan/mu 5000 yuan/mu in Fuping County, salt pan compensation CNY 5000 yuan/mu resettlement CNY 87.963 million CNY 73.646 million CNY 105.281 million increased for the budget yuan yuan yuan physical impact and compensation rate ii Executive Summary E1. Project Background 1. Shaanxi Weinan Luyang Integrated Saline Land Management Project is located on the north bank of the Weihe River and within the Pucheng County in the eastern Weinan City of Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi Province. The Project partially financed by ADB which consists of 4 Components: (1) Saline soils rehabilitation: including Rehabilitation of Luoxi drainage system and improved resilience to climate change of agro-ecosystems; (2) Flood risk management: improve flood storage capacity, prevent flood disaster, and ensure people’s life and property; (3) Wetland ecosystem conservation: improve and protect local wetland ecosystem; (4) Capacity development and project implementation support: institutional strengthening and project management support. The implementation period of the project is five years, that is, from 2013 to 2018. The total investment is 165 million dollars, of which, 100 million dollars is loan from ADB. E2. Land Acquisition and Resettlement Scope 2. The land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) will affect 60 administrative villages, and 6 town/townships in Pucheng County and Fuping County, including a total of 3,698 households with 17,232 persons affected. Of the affected peoples, 3,663 households with 17,057 persons will be affected by land acquisition only and 35 households with 175 persons will be affected by both land acquisition and temporary building demolition. 3. A total of 5,507.72 mu of rural collective land will be permanently acquired, including 2,432.65 mu of cultivated land and 3,069.07 mu of waste land. 4. The Component will involve 19326.62 m2 of temporary building demolition, structures including brick concrete, brick-wood, earth wood housing, and simple house structures. All the building are non-residential utilized for warehouse or mirabilite production. 5. No enterprises and public institutions or shops are involved in acquisition and demolition. In addition, scattered trees, poles, wires, tombs, enclosures, water wells and other ground ancillary facilities will be affected. In the implementation area of the project, no ethnic minorities will be affected. E3. Resettlement Principles and Entitlements 6. The resettlement plan (RP) is prepared according to the People’s Republic of China’s Land Administration Law (2004) and the related national, provincial, and municipal policies and regulations, as well as in compliance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009).

  • Issues and Challenges of Governance in Chinese Urban Regions
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 Metropolitanization and State Re-scaling in China: Issues and Challenges of Governance in Chinese Urban Regions Dong, Lisheng ; Kübler, Daniel Abstract: Since the 1978 reforms, city-regions are on the rise in China, and urbanisation is expected to continue as the Central Government intends to further push city development as part of the economic modernisation agenda. City-regions pose new challenges to governance. They transcend multiple local jurisdictions and often involve higher level governments. This paper aims to provide an improved un- derstanding of city-regional governance in China, focusing on three contrasting examples (the Yangtze River Delta Metropolitan Region, the Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei Metropolitan Region, and the Guanzhong- Tianshui Metropolitan Region). We show that, in spite of a strong vertical dimension of city-regional governance in China, the role and interference of the Central Government in matters of metropolitan policy-making is variable.

  • 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

With the continuous improvement of China's urbanization level, the huge expansion of construction land has a negative impact on urban air quality, especially PM2.5 pollution. In this paper, the relationship between the landscape pattern of urban construction land and PM2.5 concentration is studied by using spatial exploratory analysis (Moran I) and spatial econometric analysis (SLM/SEM). The results show that: ① From 2000 to 2016, PM2.5 pollution in the region of Pearl River Delta rose first and then dropped; In terms of spatial distribution, it showed a trend of high in the middle and low in the peripheral areas. ② The construction land in Pearl River Delta expanded obviously from 2000 to 2016, with the overall increase as high as 75.37%. At the same time, the advantages, integrity and accumulation of construction land patches in Pearl River Delta were strengthened continuously, while the degree of size breakage dropped to some extent.

  • A Policy Proposal of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Protection Center
    A POLICY PROPOSAL OF GUANGDONG-HONG KONG-MACAO GREATER BAY AREA INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS COORDINATION PROTECTION CENTER by Hanmin Cao A capstone project submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Public Management Baltimore, Maryland May 2020 ©2020 Hanmin Cao All Rights Reserved Abstract With a series of important administrative plans and instructions, such as such as the Outline Development Plan of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong Province Three-year Action Plan on The Development in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(2018- 2020), it has become a consensus to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights in the Greater Bay area in order to promote legal business environment. Although the intellectual property cooperation of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao has a remarkable progress, it still faces some outstanding problems due to the imperfect cooperation platform and mechanism, the difference of system rules among the three regions, and the inconsistency of protection standards and levels among the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta. In this regard, this memorandum provides idea of establishing an Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area intellectual property protection center. In addition, this memorandum discusses the functions of the center, the rights granted, the legislative procedures for its establishment, and the obstacles it may confront. By adopting this proposal, the level of intellectual property rights protection in the Greater Bay Area will be greatly improved. At the same time, it is a good attempt to integrate the judicial and administrative systems of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
