Introduction Compilation of this ethnic minorities development plan is to ensure that relevant ethnic minorities communities and individuals of Helong municipal agricultural comprehensive development sub-project area can impartially share project benefit and mitigation measures. Helong municipal agricultural comprehensive sub-project is a part of agricultural infrastructure comprehensive development project (six provinces and regions including Jilin, Yunnan, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Anhui and Henan) of China’s using ADB loan. This ethnic minorities development plan is compiled in accordance with project technical assistance group’s social and poverty appraisal report and consulted with ethnic minorities groups, local governments and their affiliated departments. ADB loan agricultural infrastructure comprehensive development project involves in 69 counties (county-level cities) in 6 provinces and regions. Based on investigations for social and poverty conditions of ethnic minorities in Helong City and its project area, appropriate provisions have been integrated into project design to improve economic status of ethnic minorities groups. Specific provisions of mitigation measures have also been integrated into this ethnic minorities development plan which will be conducive to ensure that adversely affected ethnic minorities will also benefit from project. Governmental present ethnic minorities policy and plan further help protecting and improving benefit of ethnic minority groups. Targeted crowds of this ethnic minorities development plan are Korean nationalities in project area accounting for 5.1% of total population of Helong Municipal ethnic minorities. 1 2. PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1 Project Description Security of national grains is considered to be a major policy problem in China. It is generally believed that, grains production shall be increased not only in regions with more grains to meet increasingly increased demand for grains in urban areas, but also in areas where supply and demand of grains are balanced to continuously ensure security of grains. This project is project of implementing agricultural comprehensive development by using ADB loan which focuses on recovery and improvement for water conservancy infrastructures of medium-low yield farmlands in six provinces and regions. Heilongjiang, Henan, Jilin and Anhui are whole China’s 4 largest abundant provinces in terms of grains, which grain-producing area and grain yield in 2008 respectively account for whole China’s 29.5% and 29.2%. Jilin and Yunnan are grains balanced regions where grains production shall be maintained and improved, so they will not become “grains deficit” regions. In accordance with selection conditions for project area, such as, it has been listed as agricultural comprehensive development county (county-level city), it is agricultural base where large area of continuous lands exist and is suitable for sustainable development, sufficient irrigation water source exist and strong supports from local government, etc, 69 counties (county-level cities) (county-level city and district’s farms) among 6 provinces and regions are selected as ADB loan project counties (county-level cities). At present, most of local irrigation systems is in a state of disrepair, or has not achieved level of using among farmlands, and compared with surrounding regions, lands in such regions belong to medium-low yield lands where road status is poor. Project area in project county (county-level city) is relatively poorer and it can be compared with project area’s annual per capita income of CNY 6, 510, it is 83% of project county (county-level city)’s annual per capita income of CNY 7, 820. 2 This project includes three major constituent parts: A. Improvement of irrigation infrastructures; B. Strengthening irrigation agriculture; C. Strengthening project management. It is expected that project can enable 98, 350 hectares of lands and 1.23 million people in 69 counties (county-level cities) in 6 provinces and regions benefited through these outputs. Helong municipal agricultural comprehensive development sub-project involves in 6 villages in 2 towns with land area of 108, 800mu (1 mu is about 0.07ha), including arable land area of 35, 800mu, among which, medium-low yield farmland is 11, 800mu and high-yield farmland is 24, 000mu. This project can enable 6, 777 people in 6 villages benefited through improving irrigation system, improving rural roads and various measures of implementing improvement of farming and strengthening capacity construction including maintenance of facilities and engaging in green agricultural or pollution-free agricultural production. 2.2 Population of Provincial/County (County-level City) Ethnic Minorities Yanbian Korean Nationality Autonomous Prefecture is China’s sole Korean nationality prefecture and is Chinese Korean nationality’s largest concentrated area with population of 2.17 million people and population of Korean nationalities of 680, 000 people. Helong City where project is located possesses population of 195, 000 people, among which, population of ethnic minorities is 95, 700 people accounting for 51.85% of whole city’s total population. Composition for population of ethnic minorities is based on Korean nationalities, among which, population of Korean nationalities is 92, 800 people accounting for 50.3% of whole city’s total population.

Because ethnic minorities are in relatively backward social and economic status, central government has subsequently adopted a series of policies attaching great importance to ethnic minorities groups to help them “catch up” mainstream groups. To implement such policies, central government firstly defined definition of ethnic minority, calculated population of ethnic minorities and surveyed and drew ethnic minorities areas. The People’s Republic of China’s policies after 1949 has made accurate definition for nationality mainly in accordance with languages, living scope, economic

More than 50% of the P. koraiensis forests in the world are distributed in Northeast China, a region with abundant germplasm resources. However, these natural P. koraiensis populations are in danger of genetic erosion caused by continuous climate changes and frequent human activity. Little work has been conducted on the population genetic structure and genetic differentiation of P. koraiensis in China. Here, representative individuals from 16 natural P. koraiensis populations were sampled and genotyped, and polymorphic expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were used to comprehensively evaluate genetic diversity, population structure and differentiation of P.

  • Economic and Social Implications of China-DPRK Border Trade for China’S Northeast Region
    ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF CHINA -DPRK BORDER TRADE FOR CHINA ’S NORTHEAST LI DUNQIU EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper assesses the economic and social implications of China-DPRK border trade for China’s Northeast region. Main Argument A large portion of China’s trade with the DPRK is done through ports in China’s northeast region. This border trade has led to broader infrastructural links between the two nations, and is viewed as highly important to both China’s northeast and North Korea for the following reasons: • Border trade helps stimulate market demand and helps to revive the local economies in China’s northeast. • Border trade has played an important role in helping alleviate North Korea’s grain crisis and energy and raw materials shortages. • Border trade contributes to the security of the borderlands, especially owing to its role in easing North Korea’s commodity shortages. • Border trade has brought an unintended consequence of increasing the market awareness of North Korean border residents. This may facilitate the economic reform and opening-up of the DPRK. Policy Implications • Trade with Northeast China may help promote economic and structural reforms in North Korea, especially as North Koreans grow accustomed to practices associated with market economies. • North Korean trade may be of great benefit to China, and as North Korea’s economic recovery progresses Northeast China’s exports to the region will also expand. Introduction Economic cooperation between China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) takes such forms as trade, aid and investment, among which trade is the most important one.
