Summary of Environmental Monitoring ......................................................................................... 80 1. Overview and Compilation Basis 1.1 Overview and Objectives 1 To tackle environment pollution in rural areas caused by the rapid development of large- scale farms in China, Chinese government initiated the Chinese Rural Energy Ecology Building Project (Phase Two) which has received USD 130.5 million loans and donations from Asian Development Bank (ADB), Global Environment Fund (GEF), Clean Energy Financing Partnership Facility (CEFPF), etc. 2 The project supports 66 biogas subprojects in Heilongjiang Province, Henan Province, Shandong Province and Jiangxi Province. Given the workload and cost, environment monitoring is only carried out on 18 projects. Please see Table 1-1 below for more information about enterprises under environment monitoring. Environment monitoring includes ambient air, surface water, underground water and noise environment. According to ADB's opinion on the 2016 Environmental Monitoring Report, monitoring report in 2017 has been adjusted and supplemented in the following three aspects:(1) The odor concentration monitoring in some biogas project has been added;(2) Through on-site investigation, groundwater and surface water sampling points are re-selected and adjusted, so the new monitoring data surface water and groundwater has been added and analyzed. The original biogas slurry sample is part of the biogas slurry treatment process, and the results can reflect the fermentation effect, not as a basis for judging the environmental impact of enterprises on the surrounding water environment; (3) Environmental director for each enterprise has been added. 3 Harbin Running Environmental Technology Limited Liability Company has undertaken the environment monitoring of one project in Heilongjiang Province, and have completed once in June 2019. 4 Henan Guangdian Measurement and Detection Limited Company have undertaken the environment monitoring of six projects in Henan Province for two years. They have completed once in 2019. 5 Nanchang Yasheng Consulting Firm has undertaken the environment monitoring of eight projects in Jiangxi Province. They measured twice per year and had completed once in June 2019. 6 Shandong Jingyi Environmental Monitoring Limited Company has undertaken the environment monitoring of three projects in Shandong Province. They carried out a final environmental monitoring of the 3 projects in 2019.

  • 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.

  • Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People's Republic of China
    Report for U.S. Department of Justice LL File No. 2015-011997 Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China March 2015 The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center (202) 707-6462 (phone) • (866) 550-0442 (fax) • [email protected] • http://www.law.gov Treatment of the Uyghur Ethnic Group in the People’s Republic of China Staff of the Global Legal Research Center SUMMARY Members of the Uyghur ethnic group in China are identifiable by their Islamic religion, cultural heritage, traditional clothing, diet, language, and appearance. Uyghurs primarily reside in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of northwestern China. However, a 2010 population census found a total of 68,000 Uyghurs living in other areas of China as well. Despite legal protections for freedom of religion, speech, publication, assembly, association, procession, and demonstration, central and regional authorities are reportedly combating “religious extremism” in the XUAR as a means of maintaining stability, leading to concerns that the exercise of lawful rights is being restricted. Similarly, protections for ethnic minority languages and cultural identities are provided by the Constitution and a series of laws and regulations, and government authorities have been promoting “bilingual education” in the XUAR. However, some Uyghurs fear that the policy aims at assimilating young Uyghurs into Han Chinese society at the expense of their Uyghur identity. Violent clashes involving political or ethnic tensions in the XUAR or involving Uyghurs outside of the XUAR reportedly included attacks committed by Uyghurs, with attackers convicted in court of terror-related crimes. Rights advocates and analysts located outside of China, however, have raised concerns that authorities are using excessive force against Uyghur protesters and that officials fail to distinguish between violence and terrorism versus peaceful dissent.

  • Poverty and Social Dimensions Analysis, and Summary Resettlement Action Plan
    38 Appendix 2, page 1 POVERTY AND SOCIAL DIMENSIONS ANALYSIS, AND SUMMARY RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN A. Introduction 1. The Project specifically targets poverty intervention by addressing critical agricultural and water supply constraints in a poor inland province. Because the water supply and irrigation component necessitates some resettlement from the pump site and regulating reservoir, a resettlement action plan was prepared. B. Socioeconomic Profile of Potential Beneficiaries 2. Demographic features. Agricultural communities in West Henan constitute about 83 percent of the total population, rising to 95 percent in Yichuan and Songxian. Twelve of the 32 counties in the project area are nationally designated poverty counties.1 While 98.4 percent of the population is ethnically Han, there are 18 different ethnic minority groups in the project area. Most counties have one or more ethnic minorities, on average 12 minority groups each. Almost 80 percent of the total minority population is accounted for by the three largest minorities: Muslim Hui, 61 percent of all minorities and 1 percent of total population, are concentrated in Zhengping, Dengfeng, Yuzhou, and Xinmi counties; Manchus, 11 percent of minorities, are concentrated in Nanzhao County; and Mongols, 7 percent of minorities, are concentrated in Neixiang County. The average household size is 4.20, slightly smaller than the province average of 4.59. Average household sizes in counties range from 3.3 in Luoyang to 5.0 in Yichuan. The average family size in Henan Province is 3.86, suggesting that, on average, most families have one additional household occupant (often a grandparent). 3. Settlement pattern and production systems.

Kiseleff 1, RO-011341, Bucharest, Romania 3Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Eumorphobotys Munroe & Mutuura (1969) comprises two species that have been found in southern China. Two new species, E. concavuncus sp. n. and E. horakae sp. n., are described from southwest China. In appearance, this genus also resembles Calamochrous Lederer, 1863, Sclerocona Meyrick, 1890, Prodasycnemis Warren, 1892, and Loxoneptera Hampson, 1896. In order to evaluate the generic placement of the new taxa, the phylogeny of Eumorphobotys species and several species representing the potential related genera based on sequence data of COI, 16S rRNA, EF-1α and 28S rRNA gene regions were reconstructed and the taxonomy of these genera based on morphological characters was re-assessed. The results are as follows: (i) the monophyly of Eumorphobotys is well supported; (ii) Loxoneptera is paraphyletic. Two species of Calamochrous were recovered as terminal lineages within Loxoneptera; (iii) the clade comprising species of Loxoneptera and Calamochrous is in the sister position to Eumorphobotys with a robust support; (iv) species of Lox- oneptera and Calamochrous resemble Eumorphobotys in the wing shape and the porrect labial palpus but differ in geni- talia structures.
