  • China Wakes up to Its Water Crisis More Than 70 Per Cent of China's Rivers and Lakes Are Polluted and Almost Half May Contain
    News / World China wakes up to its water crisis More than 70 per cent of China’s rivers and lakes are polluted and almost half may contain water that is unfit for human consumption or contact. AFP / GETTY IMAGES More than 70 per cent of China’s rivers and lakes are polluted, government reports have said. Here, a Chinese worker cleans up a stream polluted after an oil pipeline to a Beijing factory burst in 2012. By: Raveena Aulakh Environment, Published on Mon May 12 2014 One day in late February last year, Ma Jun’s home phone started ringing and didn’t stop. The director of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs in Beijing had yet to have breakfast, so he ignored it. When he finally answered, the news was momentous. The Chinese government had admitted for the first time that decades of reckless pollution had spawned a string of “cancer villages.” These are communities near chemical, pharmaceutical or power plants with unusually high death rates. Environmentalists, NGOs and academics had long argued that contaminated water, which villagers rely on for drinking, cooking and washing, was the prime suspect. The cancer villages — there are an estimated 450 across China — were identified in the late ’90s but the government had never acknowledged them. Until now. The belated recognition appeared in the environment ministry’s five-year plan for tackling pollution. Ma, a well-known environmental activist, couldn’t believe it. The document said: “In recent years, toxic and hazardous chemical pollution has caused many environmental disasters, cutting off drinking water supplies, and even leading to severe health and social problems such as ‘cancer villages.’” This, says Ma, was the government’s first step in solving the “big problem” of water pollution.

WANG School of Nature Conservation, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China J. XU Donghu Experimental Station of Lake Ecosystems, State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology of China, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China X. YU Key Laboratory of Ecosystem Network Observation and Modeling, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China G. LEI School of Nature Conservation, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China Abstract Changes in mean trophic level (MTL) of catches have been widely used to reflect the impact of industrial fisheries on aquatic ecosystems because this measure represents the relative abundance of fished species across the trophic level spectrum. In this study, fisheries data from six important freshwater lakes at the middle-lower Yangtze River and Huaihe River reach of Southern China from 1949 to 2009 were used to evaluate changes in catch MTL. After fishery markets opened at 1985, fish catches increased significantly in all the lakes. Lakes Poyang and Dongting, which were dominated by omnivores and connected to the Yangtze River, showed no significant change in catch MTL before and after 1985. Catch MTL in lakes Taihu and Hongze increased significantly due to an increase in the proportion of pelagic zooplanktivorous. Catches in Lake Chaohu were dominated by zooplankton-feeding lake anchovy, Coilia ectenes Temminck & Schlegel and icefish, Neosalanx taihuensis Chen, while Lake Donghu was dominated by phytoplanktivorous carps.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The Tai and Chao Lake basins are currently facing a serious water pollution crisis associated with the absence of an effective environmental governance system. The water pollution and the water governance system of the two basins will be compared. The reasons for water pollution in both basins are similar, namely the weak current water environmental governance system cannot deal with the consequences of the rapidly growing economy. China’s water governance system is a complicated combination of basin management with both departmental management and regional management. There is an absence of legal support and sound coordination mechanisms, resulting in fragmented management practices in the existing water environmental governance system. A comparison is made for the Tai and Chao Lake basins and Canada, France, the United Kingdom and the United States.

  • The 19Th Party Congress: Ringing in Xi Jinping's New
    The 19th Party Congress: Ringing in Xi Jinping’s New Age1 Joseph Fewsmith The 19th Party Congress and the First Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee, immediately following the congress, endorsed sweeping changes in China’s leadership, including the makeup of the Politburo and its standing committee. The theme of the congress was “never forget the [party’s] original mission,” a theme emphasized when the new Politburo Standing Committee traveled to Shanghai to the site of the First Party Congress, held in 1921, and repeated oaths of loyalty to the party. The congress made clear that the party is in charge of China and Xi Jinping is in charge of the party. Xi Jinping’s name and “thought” were written into the party’s constitution, and Xi Jinping made clear that his “new age” was to be demarcated from Deng Xiaoping’s “new period.” A new, more centralized leadership emerged from the congress, presiding over what it clearly intends to be a more disciplined party. After months of speculation, the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist party finally convened in Beijing on October 18-24. The 2,280 delegates convening in the Great Hall of the People were greeted by a three-and-a-half hour political report by General Secretary Xi Jinping.2 Party members gathered together to watch the speech on television, as did school children, some as young as kindergarten. Not everyone was able to stay awake during the marathon address; the 91 year-old former party general secretary Jiang Zemin nodded off more than once, as did some of the delegates.
