Smiling Hu joins CPC delegates in discussionSource: Xinhuanet | 10-17-2007 08:47Special Report: 17th CPC National Congress Hu Jintao joins a panel discussion with delegates of Jiangsu province on Tuesday. He listens to the delegates talk about social and economic development in the rich eastern province, and discuss his report delivered at the start of the Party congress on Monday. (Xinhua Photo) BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Hu Jintao took a commoner's approach on Tuesday while he joined the Jiangsu delegation to the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to listen to the delegates talk about social and economic development in the rich eastern province, and discuss his report delivered at the start of the Party congress on Monday. Jiangsu's Party chief Li Yuanchao and other officials praised the country's past five years as "having maintained sustainable, fast, coordinated and healthy development" and "having improved the lives of ordinary people", citing the province's own growth in the meantime. Hu urged the province to fully exploit its advantages and take the lead in transforming the mode of economic growth in accordance with the Scientific Outlook on Development. "We stress sound and rapid development, better quality, efficiency and an enlightened approach to development that results in expanded production, a better life and sound ecological and environmental conditions," he said. Delegate Wu Renbao, former Party chief of Huaxi Village, China's richest, spoke highly of the Party congress. "The report is comprehensible to ordinary farmers," he said. "I would like to keep working although I'm old," 79-year-old Wu said. Hearing that, Hu Jintao was the first to applaud with a broad smile. Chen Qiuyan, who cleans the sewage treatment system in Xuzhou City, was excited about her second meeting with Hu. "We will carefully study and put into practice the essence of the congress," she said. Hu visited Chen and her colleagues during a visit to Jiangsu in 1996. "Please forward my best regards to your colleagues," said Hu. "I hope your working and living conditions have improved with the past decade's economic growth and hope you'll do an even better job," Hu said with a gentle voice. Toward the end of the two-hour discussion, Hu said that the report he made on behalf of the 16th CPC Central Committee is a product of democracy and crystallizes the collective wisdom of the entire Party and all the Chinese people. After deliberations and revisions at the Party congress, the report will become a political proclamation and action plan to guide the Party in uniting all the Chinese people to seek better development along the path of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, Hu said.

Conservation efforts in Inner Mongolia have spurred the northern region's development and benefited the national capital, top regional officials said yesterday in Beijing.The autonomous region, which is known as a major source of the seasonal sandstorms that blanket Beijing, has "done what it could" to curb ecological deterioration, Yang Jing, chairman of the regional government, said."Protecting the environment has been listed as Inner Mongolia's most important infrastructure project," Yang told a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office yesterday to mark the region's 60th anniversary."The number of sandstorms has fallen significantly in recent years, which favorably influences the weather in Beijing and Tianjin. "Inner Mongolia, which is some 300 km north of Beijing, has long been thought of as the capital's backyard. However, the distance is not enough to protect Beijing from the wind-borne dust and sand that blow down from the region.Dust blown in from western Inner Mongolia blanketed Beijing nearly two months ago, lowering visibility to 4 km from 20 km the previous day.Inner Mongolia has spent some 20 billion yuan ($2.7 billion) on efforts to halt desertification in an area measuring 16.7 million hectares over the past five years. It has also increased its forest coverage to 17.6 percent of its total area from 14.8 percent in 1999, Yang said.At least 3 billion yuan was earmarked to implement the massive "Beijing-Tianjin windblown sand sources control project" in a bid to build a green ecological belt in northern China, according to regional government sources.The project involves 458,000 sq km of land, about 48 percent of which lies in Inner Mongolia."There are several sources of sand and dust (affecting Beijing) besides Inner Mongolia. We have done what we could on our part," Yang said.Chu Bo, secretary of the regional committee of the Communist Party of China, said yesterday that 70 percent of the region's livestock has been confined to enclosed pastures to reduce the grazing pressure on grasslands.In addition to returning farmland to forests and reclaiming overgrazed pastures, Inner Mongolia has encouraged traditional pastoral areas to develop alternative industries.Citing Erdos as a success story, Chu said the city would have plunged into an ecological vicious circle had it not built up secondary and tertiary industries.As a result, the city of 1.4 million people is expected to have a gross domestic product of 100 billion yuan ($13 billion) this year, a level of prosperity that can only be found in the country's coastal regions, Chu said.Inner Mongolia is home to China's largest grasslands. The region spans 1.18 million sq km, which is about twice the size of Ukraine.不算太长吧。

Hundreds of people have been killed in a massive earthquake in Japan that triggered a devastating tsunami. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted tsunami warnings across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. The Red Cross warned that the 10-meter high tidal wave could wash over some small islands entirely.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo.The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home.Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 3,000 people from the area around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant north of Tokyo. No radiation leaks were detected, but officials are concerned the reactor's core may overheat due to a system malfunction. A fire was also reported earlier in the turbine building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi.Addressing the nation, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Barack Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan. The U.S. military in Japan has opened up the Yokota Air Base to some commercial flights diverted from Japanese airports.日本的大规模地震造成数百人死亡。这次地震引发了毁灭性的海啸。这次日本100年来最强烈的地震造成大规模的损失，许多人失踪，甚至恐怕已经死亡。这次8.9级的地震星期五发生在日本东海岸125公里外，引发了环太平洋地区海啸警报，涉及范围远至南美地区和整个美国西海岸。红十字会警告说，10米高的巨浪可能将把一些小岛整个淹没。在日本，海啸冲走了东京以北的沿海地区的船只、汽车和数百幢房屋。地震震动了日本首都的建筑物，并引起了几起火灾。东京所有火车和地铁停止运行，数以千计的人无法回家。当局下令将东京以北的福岛核电厂周围大约3千人撤出这一地区。尽管没有探测到任何核泄漏，但官员们担心系统故障可能导致反应器的核心过热。早些时候的报导说，宫城县附近的女川核电厂发电机组发生火灾。日本首相菅直人向全国发表讲话。他说，政府将尽其所能把灾害的影响控制在最小程度。在华盛顿，美国总统奥巴马说，美国准备随时帮助日本人民。驻日美军向无法在日本机场降落的一些商业飞机开放了横田空军基地。

Three Gorges Project The Three Gorges Reservoir has started to discharge water, to be prepared for the coming flood season of China's longest waterway, the Yangtze River. The reservoir is planned to discharge 2.7 billion cubic meters of water before June 10, when the water level is expected to drop to 144.5 meters, a fall of six meters from the previous level, said an engineer with the Three Gorges Project Development Corporation on Thursday. The water level marked 148.1 meters at 7 p.m. Thursday, said Yuan Jie, the engineer in charge of the discharge work. "As the flood season approaches, it is necessary for us to make preparations beforehand," said Yuan. Located where the Yangtze River's upper and middle reaches meet, the mammoth Three Gorges Project is said to be capable of holding back major floods on the country's longest river. Its reservoir is capable of holding 22.15 billion cubic meters of water when it attains a normal water level of 175 meters, according to the corporation. Launched in 1993, construction of the gigantic concrete structure of the Three Gorges dam was completed in May last year. The water level in the reservoir will eventually reach 175 meters in 2009, when the Three Gorges project is finally completed.
