  • 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.

The most significant differences from the closest species, P. vinhii, are that P. moi has subentire labellum, two longitudinal labellum keels that extend from middle of the hypochile to 2/3 of the length of the epichile and thickened at the ends; the rachis is also straight. Key words: Chinese Orchidaceae, Coelogyninae Introduction. Panisea (Lindley) Lindley (1854: 1) belongs to the subtribe Coelogyninae (Orchidaceae); in the genus there are about 11 species, ranging from northern part of tropical Asia almost to Indochina and the Himalayas (Seidenfaden 1975, Chen 1980, Lund 1987, Averyanov & Averyanova 2006, and Subedi et al. 2011). Panisea differs from its allies by its subequal perianth segments and a more or less sigmoid labellum base. There are five Panisea species in China, one endemic (Chen et al. 2009). During our botanical expedition to Hainan Island in March 2011, we found a new species described below.

The lichen is characterized by erumpent lirellae with a lateral to complete thalline margin, large transparent transversely septate ascospores, and the presence of norstictic acid. Hemithecium chlorocarpum is reported as a new record from China. A checklist and key to Hemithecium species from China are presented. Key word—Ascomycota, Graphidaceae, Ostropales, Ostropomycetidae, taxonomy Introduction The lichenized fungal genus Hemithecium Trevis. (Graphidaceae, Ostopales) has been recently revised (Staiger 2002; Staiger et al. 2006; Lücking et al. 2008; Rivas Plata et al. 2012, 2013; Lumbsch et al. 2014; Miadlikowska et al. 2014). The genus is characterized by its crustose thalli, lirelliform apothecia, well- developed convergent labia, concealed discs, non-carbonized exciples, simple paraphyses, and hyaline transversely septate or muriform ascospores. Hemithecium contains about 50 species worldwide (Staiger 2002, Upreti et al. 2011, Sharma et al. 2012). Miao et al. (2007) reported three species of Hemithecium (H. chapadanum, H. chlorocarpoides, and H. chrysenteron) as new records from China, which Lücking et al. (2008) since placed in the invalid genus “Pallidogramme”. During the compilation of the Flora Lichenum Sinicorum, five Hemithecium species were recognized in China (Jia et al.

Kennedy and Andrew S. Erickson As it works to improve its maritime militia, Hainan Province is engaged in multiple lines of effort. It confronts many of the same multifarious challenges that other provinces face in constructing their own maritime militia forces. These include strengthening legal frameworks, bolstering incentive structures, constructing infrastructure, and the perennial task of organizing and improving militia training. Hainan thus offers a leading-edge microcosm of the trials and triumphs of Chinese Maritime Militia development, and a bellwether of progress in managing the sprawling effort. Part 1 of this three-part coverage of maritime militia building in Hainan cimsec.org/hainans-maritime-militia-development-challenges-opportunities-pt-2/31900 1/15 4/22/2020 Hainan’s Maritime Militia: Development Challenges and Opportunities, Pt. 2 Province surveyed the role of provincial officials and programs, especially at the Provincial Military District (MD) level, as well as their achievements to date; Part 2 now examines in depth the remaining hurdles and bottlenecks that they are grappling with in the process. It will explain specific measures that the Hainan MD is taking to address the abovementioned issues. These include newly promulgated regulations, specific construction projects, breakthroughs in training, increased funding, and examples of the range of direct and indirect benefits maritime militia enjoy through their service. Challenges in Policy Execution As explained in Part 1, the Central Military Commission National Defense Mobilization Department (CMC-NDMD) promulgates guidance for nationwide maritime militia work.

Methods: The cases of C. trachomatis infection in genital tract reported by medical institutions in Sanya from 2012 to 2016 were collected through the disease information management system for descriptive epidemiological analysis. Results: The average annual incidence of C. trachomatis infection in genital tract of Sanya from 2012 to 2016 was 273.02 per 100 000, with an average annual growth rate of 8.40%, and the incidence of C. trachomatis 2 infection in genital tract has been increasing for 5 years (χ =55.591, P< 0.001). The cumulative number of reported cases of C. trachomatis infection in genital tract in males was 2 617, and that in females was 5 287, the ratio between men and women was 0.49:1. The difference in the incidence rate between men and women was statistically significant(P < 0.05). The cumulative number of reported cases in Tianya District was the highest (7 662 cases), followed by Haitang District (242 cases), and no cases were reported in township hospitals and community health service centers.

The previous researches concentrated on how the socio-economic and socio- psychological changes had caused the rapid growth of the popular religious cults since the Song dynasty period, and they presumed that the rapid increase of the state and literati involvement with the local cults just reflected the increasing significance of the popular religions. However, I argue that the previous presumption was only partially right. My research intends to demonstrate that the transformation in the state and literati response to the popular religious cults was iii attributed not only to the change of the popular religions but also to that of the socio-political environment around them. In Chapter Two, I argue that during the period between the late Tang and the Five Dynasties period the difference in the local policies between the northern five dynasties and southern regional regimes caused the disparity in their stances on the popular religious beliefs.
