Introduction The Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province (referred to as the Project in short) loaned by the Asian Development Bank (referred to as the Asian Bank in short) has started officially. According to the requirements of the Asian Bank, the Project has introduced the resettlement monitoring and assessment mechanism to monitor and assess the process of land acquisition and resettlement, as well as the quality and effect of the resettlement for the purpose of overall understanding of the resettlement and scientific decision-making by the Owner and the Asian Bank based on the monitoring assessment reports provided by the resettlement monitoring and resettlement institute. According to the Minutes of meeting held on Apr. 29, 2007 by the Project Office and the fax issued on Aug. 16, 2007 by the Asian Bank, Hunan Water & Electricity Consulting Corporation (referred to as HWECC) would be responsible for the external monitoring and assessment of 16 non-core sub-projects including Lengshuijiang City, Lianyuan City, Shuangfeng County, Shaoyang City, Shaodong County, Longhui County, Jiangyong County, Xintian County, Jianghua County, Qiyang County, Ningyuan County, Chenzhou City, Zhuzhou City, Liling City, Zhuzhou County and Youxian County. After signing of the resettlement monitoring and assessment contract, HWECC has contacted all project units actively and has signed resettlement monitoring and assessment contracts with 3 sub-projects including Jiangyong City, Chenzhou City and Liling City. Established in January of 2008, the Resettlement and Assessment Department for the Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province 4 loaned by the Asian Development Bank (referred to the Resettlement and Assessment Department) in HWECC started its preparatory work, worked out the Resettlement Monitoring and Assessment Work Outline for the Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province loaned by the Asian Development Bank (the draft) as well as the sub-project resettlement monitoring and assessment work outline and has begun the first stage monitoring and assessment. Since the Project has just started soon, the finished resettlement was not big and the progress was behind the resettlement plan. Therefore, the monitoring and assessment at this stage is focused on followings: (1). Establishment and operation of resettlement organizations. (2). Used resettlement policy and compensation standards . (3). Progress of land acquisition and Demolition. (4). Raising and payment of resettlement funds. 2. Project Outline 2.1 Project Outline The Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province covers 35 county-level cities in the mountainous area in Hunan Province which suffer severe floods, including 8 prefecture-level cities (the Zhuzhou City, Xiangtan City, Hengyang City, Yongzhou City, Loudi City, Chenzhou City, Shaoyang City, Huaihua City and the Jishou City which is the capital city of the autonomous prefecture, as well as 27 counties (cities) under 12 Cities (prefecture). The contents of the 16 non-core sub-projects undertaken by the HWECC include flood control projects, waterlogging projects, river dredging and bridges, etc., and the total investment is 1862,1127 million RMB Yuan, while the resettlement costs account for 452,9304 million RMB Yuan. 5 After implementation, the flood control and waterlogging standards of prefecture-level cities will be increased to 1-in-50 years and 1-in-20 years respectively, while the standards of county-level cities will be increased to 1-in-20 years and 1-in-10 years respectively, which means significant social and economic benefits. The basic information of the 16 sub-projects is shown in Table 2.1.

  • Molecular Characterization of the Viral Structural Protein Genes in the First Outbreak of Dengue Virus Type 2 in Hunan Province
    Guan et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2021) 21:166 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-021-05823-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Molecular characterization of the viral structural protein genes in the first outbreak of dengue virus type 2 in Hunan Province, inland China in 2018 Jiaoqiong Guan1,2,3, Zhanlong He1,2,3, Meng Qin4, Xialin Deng5, Jun Chen1,2,3, Suqin Duan1,2,3, Xiaojun Gao5, Yue Pan1,2,3, Junying Chen1,2,3, Yaping Yang1,2,3, Shijun Feng5* and Qiangming Sun1,2,3* Abstract Background: An unexpected dengue outbreak occurred in Hunan Province in 2018. This was the first dengue outbreak in this area of inland China, and 172 cases were reported. Methods: To verify the causative agent of this outbreak and characterise the viral genes, the genes encoding the structural proteins C/prM/E of viruses isolated from local residents were sequenced followed by mutation and phylogenetic analysis. Recombination, selection pressure, potential secondary structure and three-dimensional structure analyses were also performed. Results: Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all epidemic strains were of the cosmopolitan DENV-2 genotype and were most closely related to the Zhejiang strain (MH010629, 2017) and then the Malaysia strain (KJ806803, 2013). Compared with the sequence of DENV-2SS, 151 base substitutions were found in the sequences of 89 isolates; these substitutions resulted in 20 non-synonymous mutations, of which 17 mutations existed in all samples (two in the capsid protein, six in the prM/M proteins, and nine in the envelope proteins). Moreover, amino acid substitutions at the 602nd (E322:Q → H) and 670th (E390: N → S) amino acids may have enhanced the virulence of the epidemic strains.

    Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) Song Yongyi Thursday 25 August 2011 Stable URL: http://www.massviolence.org/Article?id_article=551 PDF version: http://www.massviolence.org/PdfVersion?id_article=551 http://www.massviolence.org - ISSN 1961-9898 Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) Song Yongyi The Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) was a historical tragedy launched by Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It claimed the lives of several million people and inflicted cruel and inhuman treatments on hundreds of million people. However, 40 years after it ended, the total number of victims of the Cultural Revolution and especially the death toll of mass killings still remain a mystery both in China and overseas. For the Chinese communist government, it is a highly classified state secret, although they do maintain statistics for the so-called abnormal death numbers all over China. Nevertheless, the government, realizing that the totalitarian regime and the endless power struggles in the CCP Central Committee (CCP CC) were the root cause of the Cultural Revolution, has consistently discounted the significance of looking back and reflecting on this important period of Chinese history. They even forbid Chinese scholars from studying it independently and discourage overseas scholars from undertaking research on this subject in China. Owing to difficulties that scholars in and outside China encounter in accessing state secrets, the exact figure of the abnormal death has become a recurring debate in the field of China studies.
