Coronavirus may have originated in lab linked to China's biowarfare program
January 29, 2020
The
deadly animal-borne coronavirus spreading globally may have originated
in a laboratory in the city of Wuhan linked to China’s covert biological
weapons program, said an Israeli biological warfare analyst.
Radio
Free Asia last week rebroadcast a Wuhan television report from 2015
showing China’s most advanced virus research laboratory, known the Wuhan
Institute of Virology. The laboratory is the only declared site in
China capable of working with deadly viruses.
Dany Shoham, a
former Israeli military intelligence officer who has studied Chinese
biological warfare, said the institute is linked to Beijing’s covert
bio-weapons program.
“Certain laboratories in the institute have
probably been engaged, in terms of research and development, in Chinese
[biological weapons], at least collaterally, yet not as a principal
facility of the Chinese BW alignment,” Mr. Shoham told The Washington
Times.
Work on biological weapons is conducted as part of dual
civilian-military research and is “definitely covert,” he said in an
email.

{We
accuse the Communist government of China for wanting to spread the
virus in order to destabilize other nations and their economy. Look at
how the history of the Communist Party was to destabilize nations and
areas such as Germany, Russia, Europe, China, Vietnam, Korea, South
Africa, Africa, Venezuela, South America and North America. The Chinese
Communist Party owns and controls the army in China. The people in China
no longer have power over their own military, and this political party
called the Communist Party now has control. The same Communist Party
also brought down Russia, Vietnam, Korea, Venezuela and Germany. The
Communist Party and Antifa are together, this is why we are calling for
the arrest of all people that are Communists or Antifa members}.

------------------------
{The headlines in the year 2020 is that the Chinese government promotes fake martial artists and goes out of their way to harm other fighters and organisations that are trying to reveal the corruption taking place with the Chinese government and within the fighting community.
We are aware that many of these fake martial artists happen to be in Asia and the world, yet it is the Chinese government that actually promotes and rigs martial arts tournaments to promote
traditional Chinese martial arts as being the best martial arts systems.
MMA training has been proven to be a better fighting system than traditional Chinese martial arts.
This is why we rarely see people that use traditional Chinese martial arts ever win in world MMA tournaments, because traditional Chinese martial artists pass up too many submissions they could have used if they learned MMA.
Traditional Chinese martial artists do not strike as hard on average as a Muay Thai fighter, kickboxer, boxer or MMA fighter in general. The Japanese and Koreans know more wrestling and Judo, these countries have better quality of wrestling than China for East Asian martial arts}.

martial artists}.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
{We notice that China has the most fake martial artists out of any country. The Chinese government even promotes these fake martial artists. We even see how the Chinese government now even rigs certain fights in order to promote traditional Chinese martial arts. We can see that the Chinese rarely ever win much in MMA compared to other nations.
I personally would go to Japan, Russia or Thailand to train to fight instead of China if I had to choose a country in East Asia to train to fight.
You will notice that Thailand and the Japanese made better martial arts systems than China, this is why we see Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu and Judo being used by many MMA fighters.
Look at how much cleaner some Japanese people are than compared to the Chinese, the Japanese take their shoes off when they enter their home and they are clean enough to make Sushi. It is the Japanese that are known for making Sushi and not so much the Chinese. The Chinese are mostly not as clean as the Japanese people and why you see much less Sushi in China. This is why the Chinese eat less Sushi and eat more dog, then the Chinese spawn Coronaviruses from eating dogs or going into caves with bats for weird reasons.
The Gracies from Gracie Jiu-Jitsu have even had to admit that Orientals were so weak in general
as a race that Asians could not fully do all the submission moves correctly. This is why it takes
a more full sized human such as a white person to be able to have enough strength to do many of these submission moves properly. This is why we see so many fake fighters over in China, this is simply because we can see how Chinese, Arabs and East Indians win the least amount of MMA fights.
If the Chinese government is so dishonorable about the situation of rigging fights and promoting fake fighters, then do you really think that the Chinese government would be honorable with the environment and tell the truth about how bad they are treating the environment.
The Chinese government is very dishonorable and the following article discusses how many problems the Chinese government has created for the rest of the world.
China is currently overpopulated, we are calling for population control in China.
China has some of the weakest fighters in East Asia, we can also see that China also has the highest population in East Asia.
We can see that Chinese rarely win MMA championships.
Why should we be promoting such a weak bloodline to overpopulate. We should have strict population control on the Chinese. We should have no more than 50-100 million Chinese. This is nothing personal, when you look at China and the Gobi Desert, including mountain regions, many of these lands in China cannot support a huge population. Regardless of politics, culture or race, I would say that I would have less than 100 million people in China.
China is one of the most dishonorable country and government when it comes to the martial arts
community and fighting community.
We can see in our other science books how some Orientals have some of the weakest immune systems and why some of these Orientals spawn and birth so many viruses is because Orientals are a subspecies that are not a fully developed full-size human. This is why if white people were living in China that the Coronavirus most likely never would have happened. We can see that Orientals are some of the
smallest people and have degenerative height problems, Orientals should be kept out
of the gene pool and we should promote full-sized white humans over these degenerative
Denisovan & Hobbit subspecies of Asians. We should limit the number of Orientals to under
25 million to 250 million people total. We should be promoting white fair skinned Orientals with higher IQ in China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand & Mongolia instead of many of these Pacific Islander Orientals with ghost DNA that are dying from Covid more than other Orientals. This is because more of the white fair skin Orientals including other white skinned races have the CCR5 gene that makes them less sick to Covid.
{The Chinese continue to spawn viruses such as Sars, Swine Flu and Coronavirus}.
-----------------------
{East Asian/Mexican Subspecies}
--------------------------
{Indonesian Island Subspecies.
Many say this is the reason why many Orientals are very short and have brachycephalic eyes, is because Orientals, Indians and Mexicans were subspecies crosses of part Hobbit people, Denisovans and humans. We can see that some people from East Asia around Indonesia even look similar to these subspecies of Hobbit people, and Hobbit people resemble Orientals and and Mexicans.
This is why some Orientals are more tall with whiter skin similar to the pale skin of a white person, but Orientals eyes and faces you can tell are slanted and deformed. Some Orientals eyes slant
so much that if the eyes of Orientals were to slant any further that they may not exist as a race of
the future from having too many brachycephalic eye and nose problems.
We could see how many of these Hobbit people were not as strong of a hominin compared to other
types of species such as Homo heidelbergensis or even Neanderthals}.

(Brachycephalic problems with cats and the brachycephalic problems found in Oriental people share the same degenerative dysgenic traits with nasal and eyes problems. Similar brachycephalic problems can also be found in the negro population}.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{Our books on Eugenics and Dysgenics further discuss many of the degenerate dysgenics traits
found in the Oriental population, this includes how we can better Orientals as a race through the Eugenics movement}.

{Some Orientals have white skin and higher IQ than black Africans on average.
We can still see that many of the best inventors were white and that Orientals also
do have some good inventors as well. We can see that some Orientals have white skin
and have high IQ, many of these Orientals still have deformed brachycephalic eyes and faces.
When we see the great inventors with the West and white people, we can see that white people
were the true chosen people. We can see that many of these Asians are not the true chosen people and that the Bible warns us against the cursed races. Orientals were cursed with a deformed brachycephalic face as a warning. If Orientals faces were to slant any further that Orientals would no
longer be a race and have too many brachycephalic nasal and eye problems like a degenerative bloodlines of brachycephalic cats that have slanted eyes and deformed skulls.
See how the Chinese, Korean and Japanese were a more fair skinned Oriental compared to a more of a brown skinned East Islander Filipino or the Samoans. This is why China and Japan have higher IQ than brown skinned Filipinos, Samoans and Cambodians. This is why Filipinos are considered the Mexicans of East Asia and why many Filipinos are unwelcomed in Japan. That is because Filipino people are more of a subspecies than other types of Asians on islands such as the Japanese who are superior IQ with whiter skin, compared to the lower IQ darker skinned Filipino people that have more of a subspecies lineage in their darker skin Filipino DNA.
Japanese tradition and traditional Asian belief is that the Filipino people are an inferior island of people compared to the higher IQ people in China, Korea, Mongolia and Japan. Chinese, Koreans and Japanese were able to breed more with white people and why they have a higher IQ than more dark skinned brown Orientals that were stuck on Islands and have lower IQ. Eventually white Europeans also came along and why there are some smart people over in Asia and in India.
The big question is that were Orientals faces deformed from evolution or a natural disaster such as
a Younger Dryas type event, or are Orientals a subspecies of Denisovans and Hobbit people, and
that this would be the scientific explanation for why Orientals are very short with brachycephalic slanted eyes}.

Mormon Church Finally Says Dark Skin is Not a Sign of God’s Curse
As of Friday, Dec. 6, the Mormon Church has officially renounced the doctrine that brown skin is a punishment from God.In the “Book of Mormon,” (not the musical but the actual sacred text) dark skin is a sign of God’s curse, while white skin is a sign of his blessing. The book tells of a conflict between two lost tribes of Israel, the Lamanites and Nephites, who journeyed to the New World and made their home in Mesoamerica. The Lamanites sinned against God, and “because of their iniquity. …the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them” (2 Nephi 5:21). Later, when Lamanites became Christians, “their curse was taken from them, and their skin became white like unto the Nephites” (3 Nephi 2:15).
These verses were thought to explain the dark skin of Native Americans. In 1960, Church apostle Spencer W. Kimball suggested at the general conference that Native Americans who converted to Mormonism were gradually becoming lighter skinned:

The misnomer known as the Curse of Ham is more accurately known as the curse upon Canaan, Ham's son, that was imposed by the biblical patriarch Noah. The curse occurs in the Book of Genesis and concerns Noah's drunkenness and the accompanying shameful act perpetrated by his son Ham, the father of Canaan (Gen. 9:20–27). The controversies raised by this story regarding the nature of Ham's transgression, and the question of why Noah cursed Canaan when Ham had sinned, have been debated for over 2,000 years.
The story's original purpose may have been to justify the subjection of the Canaanite people to the Israelites, but in later centuries, the narrative was interpreted by some Christians, Muslims and Jews as an explanation for black skin, as well as a justification for slavery. Nevertheless, most Christians, Muslims and Jews now disagree with such interpretations, because in the biblical text, Ham himself is not cursed, and race or skin color is never mentioned.
For a period in its history the Latter Day Saint movement used the curse of Ham to prevent the ordination of black men to its priesthood.

{The reason why some Orientals have bigger heads and need less oxygen in Mountains is
because Orientals were part Denisovan. Orientals and Blacks were part animal and we are
calling
for strict population control on their numbers. We must regulate these
Orientals, Indians, Mexicans and black subspecies trying to overpopulate
and then breed with white humans. If anything we should eliminate most
of these subspecies in order for the white race to survive. Orientals,
East Indians, American Indians, Mexicans and brown South Americans were
all part Denisovan, this is why many brown skinned people are classified

Now we have Coronavirus in America and Europe because of letting the Chinese travel to first world nations. Look at the plague and pestilence the Chinese have now caused the rest of the world.
We are for reinstating the Chinese Exclusion Act, we must arrest all Chinese in America. We are calling for the deportation of anyone that looks like they could be from China.
These Chinese must face arrest for their Coronavirus attack on America and the rest of the free world. Arrest all Chinese in America and Europe.
We want anyone with a Chinese background in America and Europe to be arrested and deported.
We now want to implement the Chinese Exclusion Act, and ban all Chinese out of America.
China is seizing strategic control of everything around the globe and western nations.
We need to declare all Chinese owned Lands and companies in America, to now be under American control.
We must have the American government take control of all Chinese owned property in America.
We need to kick all Chinese out of America, and confiscate their property. We want the
American Militia to start going around and arresting all Chinese, and deport them.
We now declare war against the government of China, China is attacking America. We
must now stop gun restrictions and allow fully automatic rifles with high capacity magazines, in order to fight this invading Chinese army.
We want all Chinese citizens trying to give birth to Chinese babies in America to face arrest, deportation or executions.
We declare war on China, and declare the America militia to start killing all Chinese nationalists in
the streets, we want all Chinese nationalists to be arrested in America, Canada and Europe.
We want Chinese influence out of America, Europe, Canada and Africa, all Chinese now must go back to China.
We must do whatever we can to save the white race from genocide against these Brachycephalic Chinese.
We must take population control, immigration control and race control. If we do not have immigration and population control, the whole world may eventually become as polluted as China}.

For more information on why Oriental's faces are deformed and have slanted eyes, view our book
titled Race Dysgenics. We can clearly see that the faces of Orientals deformed differently than other types of humans. We must stop these brachycephalic Orientals from trying to kill off Western society and white humans. If anything, all white nations should ally against China. We can see that Russia is being controlled by socialist and communist Jews, and that China is also under control of the Communist Party. Some say that Russia wants to make a new Khazarian type empire, and that Jews are trying to gain power in Russia and China through communism. We can see how the Rothschilds are also being this Communist plot to take over the world.

Russia is full of Jewish communists that also have tons of Jews, Nato is also full of Jews. If anything, all white areas such as America, Europe, Canada, Australia and Russia should be working together to save the white race. We need to stop these fake Gypsy Jews from trying to bring down white countries with the Communist Party. If anything, western nations should be going against China, we should not let these Jewish Russian communists try to endanger the white race, by having white nations fight against each other.
The white Aryans and white European people are the chosen people in the Bible. Many of these
degenerative Arabs and Gypsies claiming to be the chosen people of the book are actually the
usurper fake Jews giving the true white people of the book a bad name.
We can see that the more white Aryan and white fair skinned people with white features were what these original chosen people were.
Some Orientals think that they are the chosen race because they are fair skinned and not the
cursed dark skinned race. Orientals will say their race is smart and invents more than the
cursed black skinned race. Some white skinned Orientals basically have a higher percentage of chosen white skin DNA, instead of being a cursed black or dark Arab Muslim. Orientals still need to be classified as a subspecies and are not the fully chosen white Aryans and white chosen people of the Bible. Such as if you had a half white and half Oriental offspring, that this would make your lineage not as chosen with as full of chosen white human DNA. This brachycephalic stunted
Oriental offspring would have more of an animal Denisovan trait that would not be considered
a full human of the Bible.
Some Oriental women can be born to look pretty good looking, while other Oriental women do not come out as well. This is why we should have a system of Eugenics in place to fix many of these problems over in Asia.
We can still see that many Orientals were hit with the ugly stick, and why Orientals have slanted
eyes. Orientals are one of the most frail and have smaller reproductive organs than other
races of humans.
Many say that humans could have even lived on their own island such as Atlantis and this is the
reason why we cannot find fossils of a missing link or ancient humans. It is debated if humans
evolved from one of these species or humans are their own separate species created by aliens. Some say that humans are an alien hybrid which is why we see the genetic coding in many different creatures, or we evolved from many of these other creatures.
We can see many degenerative bloodlines of humans such as blacks, Orientals, Arabs, Indians
and we can see how if blacks degenerated below a certain IQ level of being retarded that they
would start to have the IQ of an animal.
Some say that humans evolved from Neanderthals or there was a missing link, for more information
on these subjects view our books on Race, Science Eugenics and Dysgenics.

Haitao Xiang, 42, was formally indicted Thursday by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for Eastern Missouri more than two years after he was arrested trying to leave the U.S. for China in June 2017. Xiang was caught boarding a plane with trade-secret technology copied onto a micro SD card.

How extensive is IP theft in China? Why does it happen, and how can it be stopped? In this Q&A, Stanford Law School Professor Paul Goldstein discusses the issues.

Video: How Communist China Is Exploiting Perceived US Weakness and Becoming More Aggressive—KT McFarland
March 30, 2021
In recent weeks, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has skillfully exploited arguments about race to try to discredit the American system, says former Trump deputy national security adviser KT McFarland.
Propaganda and disinformation campaigns are a critical part of the Chinese Communist Party’s strategy of unrestricted warfare against the United States.
At the same time, the regime has brought its economic power to bear on those that dare cross the regime. After H&M took a stand against forced labor in Xinjiang, it vanished from Chinese e-commerce stores, ratings apps, and even Apple Maps in China.
“China plans to remake the world in its own image,” McFarland says.

U.S. attorneys warn of upcoming ‘spike’ in prosecutions related to China ties
Feb. 7, 2020
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/us-attorneys-warn-upcoming-spike-prosecutions-related-china-ties
Researchers in academia and industry who work with Chinese institutions should expect a “spike” in prosecutions this year as a result of a U.S. government initiative to stop economic espionage, say federal prosecutors leading the effort. And although they say the criminal cases could harm potentially useful U.S. collaborations with China, the prosecutors believe they will help deter future problems.
“Some will complain that [the prosecutions] might have a chilling effect on collaboration with the Chinese. The answer to that is—for good and bad reasons—yes, it will,” said Andrew Lelling, U.S. attorney for the district of Massachusetts, at an event yesterday in Washington, D.C. “China has launched a massive nationwide effort to pilfer U.S. technology and know-how and transfer it to China for its own uses, so unfortunately this kind of response is needed.”

{The Chinese government has currently made it
illegal, for the Chinese media and Chinese citizens to criticize the
government of China. We can see much of the environmental damage, and
injustice, in the political realm in China. The government of China does not have the best
interests of the people of China, this includes the living-beings of this world. We do not like the people who support the Communist Party. We love the people of Taiwan because they are not Communist. The true Chinese people were actually the people of Taiwan, the people of Taiwan wanted to defeated the Communist government that infiltrated China. This is why many Chinese people had to move to Taiwan, this was in order to gather in order to to stop the Communists from taking over all of China and Asia. This is why the people of Taiwan wanted to establish a government without the corruption in the Communist government. The people of China are Communist and we no longer like the people of China because they are Communists. The people of China should overthrow the Communist government in China. We appreciate ancient Chinese culture before the Communist took over China, this includes their long history of
culture, technology and inventions. It is the job of journalists to
uncover environmental and political injustice, no matter what part of
the world it is in.
I would like to add that the scientific community does not like the people in power of the Communist Party.
The Communist Party were behind the killing of the higher IQ scientists and people during the Cambodian Killing Fields. How could you support a political party that is behind what happened with the mass genocide of the more intelligent population during the Killing Fields in Cambodia.
Then the Communist Party lets only the lower IQ people in Cambodia live to dumb down the population in Cambodia even more. We should not be supporting a political party that kills scientists, doctors and the smarter people, then they leave many of the lower IQ people alive instead. This is also why I do not like any organisation that is affiliated with the Communist Party. The scientific community should not allow these political groups behind the Pol Pot Cambodian Killing Fields to remain in power.
The Tiananmen Square Riot was in protest of the Communist Party. We can still see that there were some good Chinese people trying to stand up against this corrupt Communist Party government that infiltrated China.
The majority of people on this plant do not like what the Chinese Community Party did to the people of Tibet. Look at how many times we see the phrase "Free Tibet" show up in so many places.
The Communist started many of the Gulags in Russia when Stalin was in Power.
We even see how the Communist Party ruined East Germany.
We should have gotten rid of the Communists in North Korea and North Vietnam. We now hear reports of the Communist Party trying to rig the Election in South Korea, and then make South Korea a Communist Country.
We see many of the problems with the Communist uprisings in Central America, South America, including Africa and South Africa.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was also caused by the Communist Party.
Now you see why the Scientific Community would want to do everything in their power to stop the Communist Party. Even if it means for calling for a mass reduction in the population of many of these Communist Countries.
We are tired of seeing many of these Communist Chinese go around the world to South America and Africa to start depleting up all the resources around the world. This is why we are calling for over a 90% reduction in the population of Communist China.
Even if some people are in favor of a socialist type government, many have said that they still do not want to support the Communist Party. Some people have even said that they have changed their mind about Socialism and Communism and are now against Socialism and Communism. The reason why is they simply do not want the people in charge of the Communist Party to try and gain more political power.
As far as I am concerned the government of California is being infiltrated by Communists. I accuse the same Communist government in Orange County, California in 2018 of abducting my media agency illegally and detaining me illegally. These people are no better than the Communist Pol Pot Regime that would go after scientists and researchers. We believe that many of these government officials behind this need to be arrested and face trial for their treason and their assault against the press. The people of the world should be ashamed for allowing this to happen to scientists and reporters. The scientific community is getting tired of this. We want all of the people in the Communist party gone, they need to be held accountable for destroying scientific and medical research for over the past 100 years. If we have to eliminate all of the Communists in China, North Korea, North Vietnam and Cuba to save the rest of the planet then we will approve of this. I think we should have already had population control over 100 years ago, and that seeing the population over in China and India going over 1 billion is unacceptable}.

Why did China back the Khmer Rouge to commit the Cambodian genocide?
https://www.quora.com/Why-did-China-back-the-Khmer-Rouge-to-commit-the-Cambodian-genocide?share=1
Because China wanted Cambodia’s Pol Pot / the Khmer Rouge to do its own version of China’s Cultural Resolution, which killed millions of Chinese people. So China supported Pol Pot / the Khmer Rouge to commit genocide by killing millions of Cambodian people. This is similar to a gangster requiring its gang members to commit the same types of crimes
Vietnam liberated Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge and saved the remaining Cambodian people from being killed by the Khmer Rouge and China.
As usual, China tried to distort these historical facts with its fake history books to deceive people.

Students demand Chinese apology for Khmer Rouge
February 14, 2001
http://edition.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/east/02/13/cambodia.china/
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- Cambodian students are demanding an official apology from China for their support of the genodical 1975-1979 Khmer Rouge regime.
Their call came on the eve of a state visit to Cambodia by Chinese Defense Minister Chi Haotian.
Chi is due to arrive in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh on Feb 13 on a five-day visit as part of a regional tour that includes Vietnam, Laos and Nepal.
Members of the Democratic Front of Khmer Students (DFKS) began their protests Monday in front of the Chinese Embassy in Phnom Penh.
DFKS representatives attempted to deliver a letter addressed to Chinese President Jiang Zemin that alleged Chinese responsibility for the Khmer Rouge genocide that claimed the lives of approximately 1.7 million Cambodians from starvation, overwork and execution.
Chinese Embassy officials refused to accept the letter, which also demanded compensation of $100,000 for each victim of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Second round of protests
The protests are similar to those encountered by Chinese President Jiang Zemin during a state visit to Cambodia in November last year.
According to Un Sam An, Secretary General of the Students Movement for Democracy, a rival anti-Beijing student group, Cambodia's demands for an apology from China are entirely reasonable.
"We now know through the recent publication of the memoirs of former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew that China supplied the Khmer Rouge with more than a billion dollars in aid during the 1970s and 1980s," An said.
"We can blame China for the deaths of more than one million Cambodians."
China "culpable in massacres"
The demands of the student groups are supported by Cambodian political analyst Dr. Lao Mong Hay, Executive Director of the Khmer Institute for Democracy. "China owes Cambodia an apology," Lao said.
"China had a hand in the [Khmer Rouge] massacres ... the presence of [Chinese] diplomats and technocrats in Cambodia and their indifference and even exhortations to Cambodians to 'work harder' makes them culpable in the massacres."
Public sentiment in Cambodia about China's role in supporting the 1975-1979 Khmer Rouge regime has heightened since a revelation in November last year that Chinese military personnel were directly involved in the operations of the notorious S-21 torture center in Phnom Penh where more than 14,000 people were murdered.
During his five day visit to Cambodia Chi will meet with Cambodian political leaders and is expected to sign a series of agreements boosting assistance and cooperation between Chinašs People Liberation Army and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.

Persecution of Buddhists
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Buddhists#China
Persecution under Communism
Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge
The Khmer Rouge, under its policy of state atheism, actively imposed an atheistic agrarian revolution, resulting in the persecution of ethnic minorities and Buddhist monks during their reign from 1975 to 1979. Buddhist institutions and temples were destroyed and Buddhist monks and teachers were killed in large numbers. A third of the nation's monasteries were destroyed along with numerous holy texts and items of high artistic quality. 25,000 Buddhist monks were massacred by the regime. Pol Pot believed that Buddhism was a decadent affectation, and he sought to eliminate its 1,500-year-old mark on Cambodia, while still maintaining the structures of the traditional Buddhist base.
China
See also: Chinese Buddhism
Since the communist revolution, Buddhism was severely restricted and brought under state-control at times.[citation needed] In addition, "Marxist-Leninist atheism has been widely publicized, resulting in steadily decreasing religious communities", especially in areas with developed economies. In 1989, less than 12% of the population held religious beliefs. During the Cultural Revolution, Buddhists were actively persecuted and sent for re-education, and temples, statues, and sutras were vandalized and destroyed. In recent years, Buddhism has been undergoing a revival but most Buddhist institutions are within the confines of the state.[citation needed]
Tibet
Although many temples and monasteries have been rebuilt after the cultural revolution, Tibetan Buddhists have largely been confined by the Government of the People's Republic of China. Buddhist monks and nuns have been reported tortured and killed by the Chinese military, according to all human rights groups. There were over 6,000 monasteries in Tibet, and nearly all of them were ransacked and destroyed by the Chinese communists, mainly during the Cultural Revolution. Analysis of a bulk of documents has shown that many Tibetan Buddhist monasteries were destroyed by the Chinese communists before the cultural revolution. Moreover, the "Chinese Communist Party has launched a three-year drive to promote atheism in the Buddhist region of Tibet", with Xiao Huaiyuan, a leader in the Chinese Communist Party Propaganda Department in Tibet, stating that it would "help peasants and herdsmen free themselves from the negative influence of religion. Intensifying propaganda on atheism is especially important for Tibet because atheism plays an extremely important role in promoting economic construction, social advancement and socialist spiritual civilization in the region." He further said it would push "people of all ethnic groups in the region to raise their ideological and ethical quality, to learn a civilized and healthy life style and to strive to build a united, prosperous and civilized new Tibet."
Mongolia
Buddhist monks were persecuted in Mongolia during communist rule up until revolutionary democratization in 1990. Khorloogiin Choibalsan declared 17,000 of the monks to be enemies of the state and deported them to Siberian labor camps, where many perished. Almost all of Mongolia's over 700 Buddhist monasteries were looted or destroyed.
North Korea
The Oxford Handbook of Atheism states that "North Korea maintains a state-sanctioned and enforced atheism". During the 1960s and 1970s, "North Korea effectively exterminated all signs of Buddhism" in the country.
Soviet Union
Buddhism was persecuted and looked down upon by the Soviet authorities under the government policy of state atheism. Adherents were attacked by the authorities. In 1929, the government of the USSR closed many monasteries and arrested monks, sending them into exile. As government efforts brought Sovietization to Buryatia and Kalmykia, the clergy were reduced.
Vietnam
Despite the communist regime's hostility, Buddhism is still widely practiced in Vietnam. According to Human Rights News, "Vietnam continues to systematically imprison and persecute independent Buddhists as well as followers of other religions." The leaders of the Unified Buddhist Congregation of Vietnam, Thích Huyền Quang and Thích Quảng Độ were imprisoned for decades. Thich Nhat Hanh has spoken out about the wiping out of his spiritual tradition in Vietnam.

The Surprisingly Important Role China Played in WWI
While the Pacific theater was a major and well-known battleground of World War II, it may come as a surprise that Asian nations played a role in World War I. Both Japan and China actually declared war on Germany in hopes of gaining regional dominance. While China never sent troops into battle, its involvement in World War I was influential—and had impacts that stretched far beyond the war, going on to shape the country's future indelibly.
Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, China was the most powerful nation in the East for nearly three centuries. But losing the First Sino-Japanese War to Japan in 1895 put an end to that. And the downhill slide didn’t end with losing the war; a subsequent series of treaties divvied up chunks of China between Russia and Japan, a continuation of the creation of European concessions like Hong Kong or the French settlement in Shanghai.
Germany also used military force to insert itself into east Asian affairs. Capitalizing on the murder of two German missionaries, the country attacked and invaded the city of Qingdao in 1897, establishing what amounted to a German colony in Shandong province. The prospect of expelling Germany from the region and taking control themselves was enough to entice Japan to join the fight against Germany, making the Great War a global one in 1914.
Meanwhile in China, a wobbly republican state led by military general Yuan Shikai replaced the imperial system of governance in 1912. But local warlords and clashes with the nationalist party, Kuomintang (led by Sun Yat-sen), continued to threaten his position. “The Chinese people suffered political chaos, economic weakness, and social misery,” writes historian Xu Guoqi in Strangers On the Western Front. “But this was also a period of excitement, hope, high expectations, optimism and new dreams”—because China believed it could use the war as a way to reshape the geopolitical balance of power and attain equality with European nations.
There was only one problem: At first, none of the Allies wanted China to join the fight. Although China declared itself neutral at the start of the war in August 1914, President Shikai had secretly offered British minister John Jordan 50,000 troops to retake Qingdao. Jordan refused the offer, but Japan would soon use its own armed forces to oust the Germans from the city, and remained there throughout the war. By February 1916, with men dying in huge numbers in Europe, Jordan came around to the idea of Chinese aid and told British officials that China could “join with the Entente provided that Japan and the other Allies accepted her as a partner.”
Japan, however, refused to allow Chinese soldiers to fight, hoping to remain the powerhouse in the East.
If China couldn’t fight directly, Shikai’s advisors decided, the next-best option was a secret show of support toward the Allies: they would send voluntary non-combatant workers, largely from Shandong, to embattled Allied countries.
Starting in late 1916, China began shipping out thousands of men to Britain, France and Russia. Those laborers would repair tanks, assemble shells, transport supplies and munitions, and help to literally reshape the war’s battle sites. Since China was officially neutral, commercial businesses were formed to provide the labor, writes Keith Jeffery in 1916: A Global History.
“A lot of those trenches weren’t dug by the [Allied] soldiers, they were dug by Chinese laborers,” says Bruce Elleman, professor of maritime history at the U.S. Naval War College and author of Wilson and China: A Revised History of the Shandong Question. Sending workers—mostly illiterate peasants—was one way for China to prove it deserved a seat at the table whenever the war ended and terms were agreed upon. But even after a year of supplying labor, their contribution remained largely unrecognized diplomatically.
It was more than just prestige that spurred China to enter the conflict: The volatile nation dreamed of regaining complete control of the Shandong province. Located on the eastern shore of China along the Yellow Sea, the region has a rich history as the birthplace of Confucius; diplomat Wellington Koo to call it the “cradle of Chinese civilization.”
In 1915, the year after Japan took Qingdao from Germany, Japan imposed a new treaty on China: The Twenty-One Demands. The highly unpopular treaty required China to cede control of even more territory, including in Shandong and Manchuria. If China participated in World War I, its leaders reasoned, maybe the country could win back this mainland territory.
The United States’ entrance to WWI shifted the political dynamic of the Allies, with U.S. officials supporting China’s cause with an eye toward the war’s end. As Elleman says, “[The U.S. was] hoping at the post-war conference to be able to resolve these diplomatic issues [between China and Japan and Germany],” since President Wilson wanted to take a leadership role in the negotiations and form the League of Nations.
China’s position became more fraught when Germany announced its strategy of unrestricted submarine warfare. More than 500 Chinese laborers aboard the French ship Athos were killed in February 1917 when a U-boat struck the ship. Finally, encouraged by the U.S. and believing it was the only sure way to be considered in the eventual peace agreements, China declared war on Germany on August 14, 1917—though little changed in the support they provided, since they had already been sending laborers.
By the end of the war, Chinese workers would rank as the largest and longest-serving non-European contingent in World War I. France recruited 37,000 Chinese workers, while the United Kingdom took in 94,500. The men sent abroad would earn an estimated total of $2.2 billion, reports the South China Morning Post. Along the way, so many of these workers died or sustained injuries that China established a Bureau of Overseas Chinese Workers and convinced the U.K. to provide compensation for the wounded men.

China Lost 14 Million People in World War II. Why Is This Forgotten?
May 3, 2017
Historian Rana Mitter believes a better understanding of China's future actions can follow a truer understanding of its World War II past.
When looking back at World War II, the victors see their own military contributions the clearest. Hence the United Kingdom spotlights the Battle of Britain and El Alamein, the Russians Stalingrad and Kursk, and the Americans D-Day and Midway. The contribution of China, whose war was the longest and among the bloodiest, tends to be forgotten in the West, and for years was little commemorated even in China.
A new book, Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937-1945, by Oxford historian Rana Mitter, aims to sharpen this fuzzy picture by presenting the Middle Kingdom’s eight-year war against an invading Japan—a war that had been under way more than two years before the Nazis invaded Poland, which is the usual starting point for histories of World War II. “Essentially,” Mitter explained in an interview with Pacific Standard, “the politics of the Cold War covered over that what is coming to be realized, I think, as one of the great missing pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of World War II.” Now, however, a combination of archives in China opening up and a new political attitude by its leaders has cracked the historical window.
For an American audience whose knowledge of China in the war might start with the 1937 Rape of Nanking and end with the volunteer American fighter pilots known as the Flying Tigers, the book offers a number of eye-openers:
The contribution of the Soviet Union to the Chinese Nationalists, who were actively battling the Chinese Communists, was large and sustained. While it might have been ideologically unexpected, it fit in with Josef Stalin’s desire to most effectively check Japanese designs on the USSR. The two countries actually fought a sustained series of battles in Mongolia in 1939 which left thousands dead on both sides.
While the Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek and Communist Mao Zedong are usually depicted as the titans of China’s resistance and its on-again, off-again civil war, Mitter details the rise and eclipse of a third figure, Wang Jingwei, whose stature and influence long equaled Chiang and Mao’s—until he made accommodation with the Japanese.
The scale of China’s involvement in the war was massive. Chiang, for example, fielded four million troops at the Nationalist’s height, while China as a whole lost an estimated 14 million in the war. Had China folded, Japan’s capacity to fight the U.S. or even the Soviets would have been vastly amplified.

High C8 Levels in DuPont’s Chinese Workers’ Blood
November 6, 2008In “DuPont finds high levels of C8 in Chinese workers,” Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette writes that workers at the Changshu, China plant had average blood concentration of about 2,250 ppb of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), an agent used to make the non-stick compound Teflon. Ward writes:
“DuPont Co. has found high levels of the toxic chemical C8 in the blood of workers at a new Teflon plant in China, despite company promises to greatly reduce exposures and emissions. …DuPont installed its new Echelon technology. DuPont says this technology allows it to make ‘low-PFOA’ products. The plant was also to include controls to limit C8 emissions and worker exposures.”Yet, despite the company’s promises that the new technology would limit workers’ exposure to C8, Ward reports on data submitted to EPA by DuPont (as required under TSCA) that concentrations of C8 in the workers’ blood is already comparable to levels in U.S. workers. The Changshu China plant has only been open for a year.

The World's Toxic Waste Dump: Choking on Chemicals in China
November 28, 2005China's rise as a global power, achieved with high economic growth rates, is reminiscent of the conditions in the era of early capitalism. Everything that drives production is good, and everything that slows it down -- safety technology, for example, that prevents industrial accidents from leading to massive factory explosions -- is harmful. The result is exploding tanks, burning factories, collapsing mine pits and all manner of toxic leaks. According to official statistics, 350 Chinese die each day in industrial accidents, but the unofficial figure is likely to be much higher. "Occupational safety is a serious problem, because the number of accidents and deaths remains high," said Wang Dexue, Deputy Director of the State Office of Occupational Safety, commenting on the horrifying figures from the country's manufacturing industries...

Toxic dumping linked to hundreds of deaths in Chinese factory village
October 9, 2009
At first glance, there is little to distinguish Yuanfeng from any other village amid the vast urban sprawl that makes up China’s factory-scape of Dongguan.
This clump of brick farmhouses and small shops sandwiched between clothing, plastics and electronics factories is one of China’s dozens of “cancer villages,” – small towns where industrial pollution and other toxins have created cancer clusters. At least a dozen of the village’s 400 residents have died of cancer here in recent years, many of them young, many of them felled by very rare cancers. Higher-than-average cancer rates have also been reported in nearby villages.

China 'cancer villages' linked to water pollution
Aug 09 2013
A new study in China has confirmed the existence of 'cancer villages' along certain rivers that have been linked to levels of water pollution. Areas along the Huaihe River have been found to have rates of cancer that are dramatically higher than the national average, according to Yang Gonghuan, the former deputy director of the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
Water surveillance data has been used in the new study, which looked at correlations between the data collected since the 1980s and the cancer rates of the region around the Huaihe River from 1970 to 2005. It was found that in the area affected by water pollution, the cancer rate was around 50 per cent higher than the national average between 2004 and 2005.

Santa's Workshop - Inside China's Slave Labour Toy Factories

Sometimes we have no choice, we work till dawn. When you work all night
you become dizzy and your eyes hurt because you can't take any breaks.
SANTA'S WORKSHOP takes you to the real world of China's toy factories.
Workers tell us about long working hours, low wages, and dangerous work

imprisonment. Low labor costs attract more and more companies to China.
Today more than 75% of our toys are made in China. But this industry
takes its toll on the workers and on the environment.
The
European (and American) buyers blame bad conditions on the Chinese
suppliers. But they say that increasingly hard competition gives them no
option. Who should we believe? And what can you do to bring about a

Big polluters: one massive container ship equals 50 million cars

compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles. The recent boom in the
global trade of manufactured goods has also resulted in a new breed of

tons per hour, and shipping now accounts for 90% of global trade by

Toxic Shipping Containers May Be Contaminating Your Food And Clothes
http://www.worldcrunch.com/world-affairs/toxic-shipping-containers-may-be-contaminating-your-food-and-clothes/shipping-health-cancer-imports-ikea/c1s10701/
ROTTERDAM - Governments are well aware of the danger, but consumers have no idea. One out of five freight containers arriving in European ports has been fumigated with extremely dangerous, carcinogenic or neurotoxic gases.
It is a vast phenomenon: one million containers filled with imported goods arrive in Europe by ship every week. These toxic substances
are odorless, colorless and can affect everyone from port workers,
customs officials, logisticians, drivers, warehousemen, store employees
and even consumers.
In 2010 in the Netherlands, two workers unpacking a container from China filled with glass packed in timber pallets were severely contaminated.
One of them spent five days in a coma while the other experienced
serious health problems: major weight loss, loss of smell and taste.
These toxic gases are left over from the fumigation process, a
necessary – sometimes mandatory – operation to kill micro-organisms and
pests before transport, in order to prevent the introduction of
parasites, bacteria and diseases into the importing country.
The fumigation process is usually subject to many precautions. Shipping
containers must be sprayed with gas and then ventilated before goods
can be loaded. They must display specific labels on the door specifying
the date of fumigation and the fumigation gas used.

Soil erosion threatens land of 100m Chinese, survey finds
21 November, 2008
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/21/china-soil-erosion-population
Almost 100 million people in south-west China will lose the land they live on within 35 years if soil erosion continues at its current rate, a nationwide survey has found.
Crops and water supplies are suffering serious damage as earth is washed and blown away across a third of the country, according to the largest-scale study for 60 years.
Harvests in the north-east, known as China's breadbasket, will fall 40% within half a century on current trends, even as the 1.3 billion population continues to grow.
While experts cited farming and forestry as the main causes, contributing to over a third of the area affected, the research team said erosion was damaging industrial areas and cities as well as remote rural land. About 4.5bn tonnes of soil are scoured away each year, at an estimated cost of 200bn yuan (£20bn) in this decade alone.
The poor will be worst hit, warns the report from China's bio-environment security research team, which worked on the survey for three years. Almost three-quarters of them already live in erosion-hit areas.
The country's 80,000 reservoirs are also affected, with sand and mud reducing their storage capacity each year. Like soil deposits along rivers, that increases the risk of flooding.
"If we don't conduct effective measures, erosion will cause major damage to social and economic development," Chen Lei, the director of the Ministry of Water Resources, told the official People's Daily newspaper.
The state news agency Xinhua said more than 3.5m square kilometres were affected in total, with 1.6m square kilometres scoured by water and 2m square kilometres by wind.
Professor Mu Xingming of the Institute of Soil and Water Conservation told the Guardian that overpopulation was largely to blame. He said his analysis of north-east China over the last century showed the effects of increasing population density.
New roads and railways were also contributing to the problem and people were less aware of the need for environmental protection than in other countries, he added.
Mu cited the Yellow River as one of the areas worst hit. "Historically, it got its name because of its colour - because the water contains more mud and sand than other rivers. But now it's yellower because of human activities," he said.
Beijing has been concerned about the desertification of China's northern grasslands for many years, and scaled back logging after deforestation contributed to flooding along the Yangtze in the late 1990s. Mu said more work was needed to restore forests and grasslands and suggested humans would have to leave some areas entirely if they were to recover.

China’s Dirty Secret: The Boom Poisoned Its Soil and Crops
June 30, 2014
Three decades of rapid economic development in China has left a troubling legacy widespread soil pollution that has contaminated food crops and jeopardized public health. Although they once labeled soil data a “state secret,” Chinese officials are slowly beginning to acknowledge this grave problem.
The first in a series.

Air Pollution and Its Effects on Plants in China
1989
https://www.jstor.org/stable/2403688
Abstract
(1) Atmospheric pollution in China comes mainly from human activities such as urbanization and industrialization. Such activities have become more prominent in the last 10 years, and in urban and industrial areas air pollution is typically a coal-smoke smog. (2) Air pollution monitoring indicates that in 22.2% of sixty-four cities the second grade National Air Quality Standard for sulphur dioxide (24-h mean concentration 0.15 mg m-3) is exceeded by 30%. The 24-h mean concentration of total suspended particulates in all cities exceeds the second grade National Air Quality Standard (0.3 mg m-3) by 97%, whilst nitrogen oxides are below the second grade standard (0.1 mg m-3). The quality of air in most cities continues to deteriorate. (3) Simulation studies on the effects of air pollution typical of some urban and industrial areas on local crops and vegetables suggested that ambient concentrations of sulphur dioxide and fluoride could reduce the growth and yield of crops by 5-25%. (4) Fumigation studies on the physiological and biochemical responses of plants to air pollution demonstrated a reduction in chlorophyll content; inhibition of photosynthesis; increases in potassium leakage, stomatal resistance, respiration and proline; and increases in superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities as the concentration and exposure time of sulphur dioxide and fluoride increase. Preliminary studies on the injury mechanisms of sulphur dioxide indicate that free radicles participate in the course of injury.

BEIJING, Feb 25 (Reuters) - China's air quality targets for this year will be set at a slightly higher level than last year's average, an official said on Thursday, after pollution fell significantly in the early part of 2020 due to coronavirus-related lockdowns.
China will seek to keep average levels of small, hazardous airborne particles known as PM2.5 at 34.5 micrograms per cubic metre over the course of 2021, the environment ministry said on Thursday.
That is slightly higher than the average of 33 micrograms registered in 337 monitored cities over the whole of 2020, with capital Beijing averaging 38 micrograms last year.

Communist China: World's Biggest Climate Polluter Keeps Polluting
May 8, 2021
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17336/china-pollution-climate
Communist China, in 2020, built over three times as much new coal power capacity as all other countries in the world combined -- the equivalent of more than one large coal plant per week, according to a report released in April by Global Energy Monitor.
Also in 2020, China's CO2 emissions rose by 1.5% while those of most other countries fell. Although, in 2020, the world retreated from coal, these retirements were eclipsed by China's new coal plants.
Even before China built those new plants, it was already the world's biggest emitter of fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO2): In 2019, China was responsible for almost 30% of CO2 emissions -- roughly twice the amount emitted by the US, then the second largest emitter. China, the planet's primary coal consumer, already has the largest concentration of coal plants globally; in 2020, it produced 3.84 billion tons of coal, its highest output since 2015. In addition, China, in 2020, imported 304 million tons of coal, up 4 million tons from 2019.
According to the International Energy Agency, "79.7 percent of China's emissions came from coal in 2018 compared to 70.6 percent in India, 25.8 percent in the United States, and 27.9 percent in the European Union" and "Since 2011, China has consumed more coal than the rest of the world combined."
Despite being the world's reigning climate polluter, China keeps virtue signaling, falsely marketing itself as the champion of the environment. "We should protect nature and preserve the environment like we protect our eyes, and endeavor to foster a new relationship where man and nature can both prosper and live in harmony," said Xi Jinping at the recent Leaders Summit on Climate hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden.
In reality, however, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has done the exact opposite of preserving the environment. In an article published by the Yale School of Environment in 2017, Professor William Laurance wrote:
"I've never seen a nation have such an overwhelming impact on the earth as China does now.
"Across the globe, on nearly every continent, China is involved in a dizzying variety of resource extraction, energy, agricultural, and infrastructure projects — roads, railroads, hydropower dams, mines — that are wreaking unprecedented damage to ecosystems and biodiversity."
The article cited a World Bank analysis of nearly 3,000 projects, according to which:
"Chinese foreign investors and companies often predominate in poorer nations with weak environmental regulations and controls, causing those nations to become 'pollution havens' for Chinese enterprises."
In addition, Laurance wrote:
"China has long been a black hole for the illegal wildlife trade, the biggest global consumer of everything from pangolins, to tiger parts, to shark fins and rhino horn... China is a heavy consumer of illegal timber, despite belatedly taking steps to staunch the flow into its markets. In western Africa, rosewood forests are being illegally denuded, almost exclusively to feed high demand in China. The impacts are even heavier across the Asia-Pacific region, where native forests from Siberia to the Solomon Islands are being overexploited to feed Chinese timber markets."
Nevertheless, at the summit, Xi made it sound as if China had just been waiting for the United States to return to the Paris Agreement. "China welcomes the United States' return to the multilateral climate governance process", he said, adding:
"Developed countries need to increase climate ambition and action... they need to make concrete efforts to help developing countries strengthen the capacity and resilience against climate change, support them in financing, technology, and capacity building... so as to help developing countries accelerate the transition to green and low-carbon development."
The Chinese government, it appears, seeks to avoid shouldering its own emission responsibilities by continuing to define itself squarely as a developing economy -- "needing help" -- although China is currently the world's second-largest economy after the United States.
Every country that signed up to the Paris Agreement has submitted a target -- a nationally determined contribution (NDC) -- for reducing carbon emissions by 2030. China, on the other hand, got a pass to increase emissions until 2030, when they are supposed to peak. This peak, however, would still mean that the country was "generating huge quantities [of] CO2 — 12.9 billion to 14.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually for the next decade, or as much as 15 percent per year above 2015 levels".
At the summit, Xi repeated an earlier promise to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 and to "strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 14th Five-Year Plan period [2021-2025] and phase it down in the 15th Five-Year Plan period". Notably, Xi did not mention decreasing coal consumption at all in the next five years; he was merely talking about limiting its increase.
If China were serious about reducing emissions, that intent would have been evident from its new five-year plan for the years 2021-2025, released in March. This plan, however, has been described as containing "little more than vague commitments to tackle carbon dioxide emissions."
"Under the plan, China's emissions will continue to increase", said Dr. Zhang Shuwei, chief economist at the Draworld Environment Research Center.
"Overall, the plan doesn't contain enough details on how China plans to accelerate the economy's decarbonisation, nor does it offer much strategic guidance on how to peak carbon before 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060."

With second sandstorm in 2 weeks, China reminded of pollution challenge
MAR 29, 2021
Concerns have grown as the storm was the second to hit Beijing in less than two weeks. Earlier in the month, Beijing faced the worst sandstorm in a decade when people woke up to orange skies as 12 provinces were blanketed in yellow sand and dust.
A sandstorm hit China’s capital Beijing on Sunday morning pushing the air pollution levels in the city off the charts. The sandstorm resulted in the sky turning yellow and the sun reducing to a mere blue dot. The air quality index of the city hit the maximum reading of 500 on Sunday afternoon and the visibility in Beijing stood at less than 1,000 metres, reminding China of the pollution challenge that its capital city faces. The PM10, which shows the floating particles that can enter the lungs, surpassed 2,000 micrograms per cubic metre in some districts. Readings of smaller PM2.5 particles which can enter the bloodstream were above 300 micrograms per cubic metre

China's coastal waters pollution doubles in just one year
21 Mar, 2013
China’s coastal waters are experiencing severe pollution, with the size of the worst affected areas up 50% on last year according to The State Oceanic Administration (SOA).
The SOA, found that 68,000 square kilometers (26,300 square miles) had the worst official pollution rating, up 24,000 square kilometers on 2011, it was reported by the China Daily Thursday.
Affected waters are deemed unsuitable for swimming, fish-farming, port use and are not even fit for some industrial purposes under this classification.
The SOA statement found that pollution from 72 monitored rivers increased by 17 million tonnes in 2012 and included 46,000 tonnes of heavy metals and 93,000 tonnes of oil. While discarded plastic rubbish accounted for 80% of pollution in coastal waters.

Alarming nutrient pollution of Chinese rivers as a result of agricultural transitions
February 19, 2016
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/11/2/024014
Abstract
Transitions in Chinese agriculture resulted in industrial animal production systems, disconnected from crop production. We analyzed side-effects of these transitions on total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and phosphorus (TDP) inputs to rivers. In 2000, when transitions were ongoing, 30%–70% of the manure was directly discharged to rivers (range for sub-basins). Before the transition (1970) this was only 5%. Meanwhile, animal numbers more than doubled. As a result, TDN and TDP inputs to rivers increased 2- to 45-fold (range for sub-basins) during 1970–2000. Direct manure discharge accounts for over two-thirds of nutrients in the northern rivers and for 20%–95% of nutrients in the central and southern rivers. Environmental concern is growing in China. However, in the future, direct manure inputs may increase. Animal production is the largest cause of aquatic eutrophication. Our study is a warning signal and an urgent call for action to recycle animal manure in arable farming.

Intensification of phosphorus cycling in China since the 1600s
2015
https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/113/10/2609.full.pdf
Significance
The biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus (P) has been massively altered in China, challenging its food security and causing eutrophication of freshwaters. This study shows, for the first time to our knowledge, how P cycling in China was intensified in the past four centuries to sustain the increasing population and its demand for animal protein. Our analysis also reveals the spatial disparity of its concomitant eutrophication impact. The findings advance the knowledge base needed for closing the P cycle to sustain future food production and maintain healthy rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for living systems with emerging sustainability challenges related to supply uncertainty and aquatic eutrophication. However, its long-term temporal dynamics and subsequent effects on freshwater ecosystems are still unclear. Here, we quantify the P pathways across China over the past four centuries with a life cycle process-balanced model and evaluate the concomitant potential for eutrophication with a spatial resolution of 5 arc-minutes in 2012. We find that P cycling in China has been artificially intensified during this period to sustain the increasing population and its demand for animal protein-based diets, with continuous accumulations in inland waters and lands. In the past decade, China’s international trade of P involves net exports of P chemicals and net imports of downstream crops, specifically soybeans from the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. The contribution of crop products to per capita food P demand, namely, the P directly consumed by humans, declined from over 98% before the 1950s to 76% in 2012, even though there was little change in per capita food P demand. Anthropogenic P losses to freshwater and their eutrophication potential clustered in wealthy coastal regions with dense populations. We estimate that Chinese P reserve depletion could be postponed for over 20 y by more efficient life cycle P management. Our results highlight the importance of closing the P cycle to achieve the cobenefits of P resource conservation and eutrophication mitigation in the world’s most rapidly developing economy.

Research on the sources and flux loads of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) has great significance for the control and management of the eutrophication issues facing Lake Taihu. We used hydrologic and water quality surveys of the surrounding rivers, precipitation investigations, and an experimental simulation of suspended sediment to analyze the sources of TN and TP to Lake Taihu and to estimate the flux loads of TN and TP. Our results indicate that (1) surrounding rivers, atmospheric deposition, and sediment suspension were the three main sources of TN and TP, with annual flux loads of 29.6 thousand t and 2.8 thousand t, respectively; (2) for the flux load of TN, influxes from surrounding rivers accounted for 61.1%, while atmospheric deposition contributed 23.5%, with both of these sources varying seasonally. Total nitrogen released from sediments contributed 15.4% of the TN load of Lake Taihu; (3) for TP flux load, surrounding rivers accounted for 42.8% and also showed seasonal variation. Atmospheric deposition and sediment release accounted for 17.9 and 39.3% with no significant seasonal variation. This article quantitatively analyzed the sources and loads of TN and TP and provided a basis for pollution control in Lake Taihu.

The Soil Pollution Crisis in China: A Cleanup Presents Daunting Challenge
July 14, 2014
Chinese officials are only starting to come to grips with the severity and extent of the soil pollution that has contaminated vast areas of the nation’s farm fields — by one estimate more than 8 percent of China’s arable land. But one thing is already clear: The cost and complexity of any remediation efforts will be enormous.
Luo Jinzhi is 52 and lives in the village of Shuangqiao, in China’s Hunan Province. For the last several years, Luo has been a petitioner, one of millions of Chinese people who find themselves appealing directly to higher authorities in the hope of resolving a problem. Some petition to rectify a legal injustice or to expose local corruption. Luo is petitioning on behalf of her fellow villagers for a remedy for the catastrophic pollution that has afflicted her home village.
Petitioning is a demanding and difficult process in which success is not guaranteed: It involves a long and expensive journey to the nation’s capital, where petitioners are frequently sent on fruitless journeys from one unresponsive official to another. Luo Jinzhi made the thousand-mile journey, most recently this April,
to plead for action with the Bureau for Letters and Calls, the first stop for petitioners in the capital, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, only to be told to go home and wait for the local government to take care of her complaints. She has yet to hear from any of them.
For Luo and her neighbors, the first sign of a serious problem in Shuangqiao was on June 28, 2009, when Luo Bolin, a worker at the Xianghe Chemical Factory, died of cadmium poisoning. When he died, his left leg was marked by large purple contusions; he was only 44. The list of cadmium-related deaths in Shuangqiao has since grown longer, and evidence is mounting of a national pollution crisis that has contaminated China’s soil and food crops and threatens to overwhelm efforts to put it right.
The Xianghe Chemical Factory, where Luo had worked, opened in 2004, on a site just 50 meters from the Liuyang River. The Liuyang flows directly into the Xiang River and is celebrated in Chinese Communist mythology as the symbol of an historic milestone in the party’s long struggle for power. It was here, in September 1927, that Mao Zedong led the first armed Communist revolt, the brief Autumn Harvest Uprising, and set up the short-lived Hunan Soviet, an episode still commemorated in songs in praise of the river.
The factory employed 50 Shuangqiao villagers and produced an annual total of 3,000 tons of powdered and pellet zinc sulphate, an animal fodder additive. In 2006, apparently without government approval, it began to produce indium, a rare metal more valuable than gold, but the processing of which produces cadmium as a by-product. Starting in April 2008, the villagers of Shuangqiao began to notice small, but troubling changes: The local well water began to taste oddly of rust, Mrs. Luo recalls, and saucepans used to boil water changed color.

China Wrestles with the Toxic Aftermath of Rare Earth Mining
July 2, 2019
China has been a major source of rare earth metals used in high-tech products, from smartphones to wind turbines. As cleanup of these mining sites begins, experts argue that global companies that have benefited from access to these metals should help foot the bill.
The mountains north of the village of Lingbeizhen in southern Jiangxi province no longer echo with the rumble of bulldozers and trucks. New bamboo groves climb the ravines. Tropical pines and navel orange trees grace terraces carved from the mountainsides, covering what was a hive of activity a few years back.
Higher up, where it is more difficult to replant and where erosion has taken its toll, nearly every knoll and mountaintop is scarred from mining activity. Black rubber hoses curl in the sun. PVC pipes, their ragged edges protruding from the red clay, mark where small crews of miners injected tons of ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, and other chemicals into the earth to separate valuable rare earth metals from the surrounding soil.
Beginning in the 1990s, rare earth mining took off in this region, located in Southeast China about 300 miles north of Hong Kong. As China began to produce more smartphones, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and other high-tech products requiring rare earth elements, the mining intensified. But the removal of these elements from the earth’s crust, using a mix of water and chemicals, caused extensive water and soil pollution.
Today, concrete leaching ponds and plastic-lined wastewater pools dot the hills. At one abandoned site, large wastewater ponds sit uncovered and open to the elements. Satellite images show dozens of similar pools dotting the mountains, all just one landslide or barrier failure away from a spill of their contaminated contents into waterways or groundwater.

China's Most Polluted Cities
1. Xingtai
Xingtai is the most polluted city in the country with a PM 2.5 of 128 micrograms against a required rate of 35 micrograms. Xingtai is an industrial city in northern China with a population of around 7.1 million in its metropolitan area. Partially due to the presence of large coal factories, the air in Xingtai is extremely polluted. In fact, Xingtai ranks as the ninth most polluted city in the world.
2. Baoding
Baoding ranks second with 126 micrograms. Like Xingtai, coal power plants are responsible for the city's pollution, which can sometimes be so thick that it is hard for residents to see nearby buildings.
3. Shijiazhuang
Shijiazhuang ranks third with 121 micrograms. Heavy industry is present in Shijiazhuang, and has been blamed for causing as much as 70% of the city's pollution.
4. Handan
Handan ranks fourth with 112 micrograms. Handan is known for its major steel plants.
5. Hengshui
Hengshui ranks as the fifth most polluted city in China with 107 micrograms. The city is home to 4 million people.

Chinese Dare Officials to Swim in Polluted Rivers
February 21, 2013
BEIJING — A Chinese businessman angry about a filthy river made an
equally dirty dare: He’ll give an environmental official about $32,000
just for swimming in the polluted waterway.
Local businessman Jin Zengmin posted on his microblog photos of a
garbage-filled river in Rui’an city in the eastern province of Zhejiang.
He dared the local environmental protection chief, Bao Zhenming, to
swim in it for a prize of 200,000 yuan.
The challenge, made Saturday, reflects growing frustration among the
Chinese public over widespread pollution and lack of governmental
action. It quickly inspired at least one other offer: A posting on
Tuesday under an alias on an online forum offered a 300,000 yuan
($48,000) cash prize to the environmental protection chief in the nearby
county of Cangnan if the official swam in polluted rivers there...

Adsorption and desorption behavior of herbicide diuron on various Chinese cultivated soils.
2010 Jan 25
The adsorption-desorption behaviors of diuron were investigated in six cultivated soils of China. The effect of system pH and temperature were also studied. The data fitted the Freundlich equation very well. The adsorption K(F) values indicated the adsorption of diuron in the six soils was in the sequence of black soil (D)>yellow earth (F)>paddy soil (B)>yellow-brown soil (C)>yellow-cinnamon soil (A)>lateritic red earth (E). The adsorption K(F) and Freundlich exponents n were decreased when temperature was increased from 298 K to 318 K. However, the Gibb's free energy values were found less negative with the increasing temperature. Meanwhile, the extent of diuron adsorption on soil was at rather high level under low pH value conditions and decreased with increasing pH value. In addition, the desorption behavior of diuron in the six soils was in the sequence of lateritic red earth (E)>yellow-cinnamon soil (A)>paddy soil (B)>yellow earth (F)>yellow-brown soil (C)>black soil (D). At the same time, desorption hysteresis of diuron were observed in all of the tested soils. And the soil organic matter content may play an important role in the adsorption-desorption behavior.

The chemical called Diuron is mass-produced in the country of China. Recent tests have found that this harmful chemical is now currently harming the Great Barrier Reef.
______________________________________________
Farm toxins flow to Barrier Reef
September 22, 2011A COMMONLY used farm chemical has been found in a Great Barrier Reef catchment at levels an alarming 50 times higher than those considered safe. Diuron is found in more than 100 products and is primarily used in sugar cane, cotton and weed spraying and in anti-fouling paints. A newly released State Environment Department study found the highest readings in Barratta Creek, a popular fishing location about 50km south of Townsville in north Queensland.
Farm chemicals metolachlor and atrazine were also found at 11 sites, all of which flow into Great Barrier Reef waters. It's the third environmental contamination incident in days, with a major study last week finding poisonous industrial pollutants such as DDT, dioxins and PCBs in birds' eggs in Brisbane and fishing being banned at Gladstone due to diseased fish. WWF-Australia seized on the diuron research, saying it was evidence the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority was too slow to act. Spokesman Nick Heath said while the APVMA had been investigating diuron for nine years, eight of the sites investigated were being contaminated at toxic levels. "This paper (Environment Department) is the smoking gun," he said. "Here we have clear evidence that at least three chemicals which are approved for sale, one of which is known to cause cancer, are present in the Great Barrier Reef environment and in our internationally recognised wetlands, at unacceptably toxic levels."
The study found that diuron, which is poisonous to some marine plants and animals, accounted for 97 per cent of the toxicity in Barratta Creek, between Mackay and Townsville.

Poaching is the second main reason why giant pandas are nearing
extinction. The definition of poaching differs as you ask different
people. Some say it means to capture a panda but others say it means
killing. In the end it leads to the same thing happening, killing a
panda. The main reason why people poach a panda is for its skin. Since
pandas are such rare animals their skin is treasured and can be sold for
a lot of money. A panda skin was sold for $65,000 once! In addition to
this, it isn’t too hard to capture a panda from the wild. Groups of
around 6-10 people go out into the wild and when they find a panda they
have some heavy duty material in between two sticks of bamboo and put
the panda onto the material and carry it to their car then drive off
with it.

Despite the widespread acceptance of the 3Rs, many countries—including
Canada, Australia, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Germany—have reported
rising experimental use of animals in recent years with increased use
of mice and, in some cases, fish while reporting declines in the use of
cats, dogs, primates, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Along with
other countries, China has also escalated its use of GM animals,
resulting in an increase in overall animal use.

Holocene extinction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction
The Holocene extinction, sometimes called the Sixth Extinction, is a name proposed to describe the currently ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (since around 10,000 BCE) mainly due to human activity. The large number of extinctions span numerous families of plants and animals including mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and arthropods. Although 875 extinctions occurring between 1500 and 2009 have been documented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, the vast majority are undocumented. According to the species-area theory and based on upper-bound estimating, the present rate of extinction may be up to 140,000 species per year.
The Holocene extinction includes the disappearance of large mammals known as megafauna, starting between 9,000 and 13,000 years ago, the end of the last Ice Age. This may have been due to the extinction of the mammoths whose habits had maintained grasslands which became birch forests without them. The new forest and the resulting forest fires may have induced climate change. Such disappearances might be the result of the proliferation of modern humans. These extinctions, occurring near the Pleistocene–Holocene boundary, are sometimes referred to as the Quaternary extinction event. The Holocene extinction continues into the 21st century.
There is no general agreement on whether to consider this as part of the Quaternary extinction event, or as a distinct event resulting from human-caused changes. Only during the most recent parts of the extinction have plants also suffered large losses. Overall, the Holocene extinction can be characterized by the human impact on the environment.

Overfishing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverfishingOverfishing is a form of overexploitation where fish stocks are reduced to below acceptable levels. Overfishing can occur in water bodies of any size, such as ponds, rivers, lakes or oceans, and can result in resource depletion, reduced biological growth rates and low biomass levels. Sustained overfishing can lead to critical depensation, where the fish population is no longer able to sustain itself. Some forms of overfishing, for example the overfishing of sharks, has led to the upset of entire marine ecosystems.
The ability of a fishery to recover from overfishing depends on whether the ecosystem's conditions are suitable for the recovery. Dramatic changes in species composition can result in an ecosystem shift, where other equilibrium energy flows involve species compositions different from those that had been present before the depletion of the original fish stock. For example, once trout have been overfished, carp might take over in a way that makes it impossible for the trout to re-establish a breeding population.

Detective work uncovers under-reported overfishing
http://www.nature.com/news/detective-work-uncovers-under-reported-overfishing-1.12708
Excessive catches by Chinese vessels threaten livelihoods and ecosystems in West Africa.
Fisheries scientists find the latest assessment startling. “So that’s where my fish were going!” says Didier Gascuel at the European University of Brittany in Rennes, France, who is a member of the scientific committee that advises Mauritania and the EU on fishing agreements. Year after year, Mauritanian populations of bottom-dwelling species such as octopus, grouper and sea bream have remained stubbornly low — a sign of overfishing by bottom-scraping trawlers, he says. “We had no idea the Chinese catch was so big and of course we never included it our models,” he says.
It is a whopper of a catch, in more ways than one: China is under-reporting its overseas fishing catch by more than an order of magnitude, according to a study1 published on 23 March. The problem is particularly acute in the rich fisheries of West Africa, where a lack of transparency in reporting is threatening efforts to evaluate the ecological health of the waters.
“We can’t assess the state of the oceans without knowing what’s being taken out of them,” says Daniel Pauly, a fisheries scientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, who led the study. The unreported catch is crippling the artisanal fisheries that help to feed West African populations, he says.
Fisheries experts have long suspected that the catches reported by China to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome are too low. From 2000 to 2011, the country reported an average overseas catch of 368,000 tonnes a year. Yet China claims to have the world’s biggest distant-water fishing fleet, implying a much larger haul, says the study, which was funded by the European Union (EU). Pauly and his colleagues estimate that the average catch for 2000–11 was in fact 4.6 million tonnes a year, more than 12 times the reported figure (see ‘A colossal catch’). Of that total, 2.9 million tonnes a year came from West Africa, one of the world’s most productive fishing grounds.
Liu Xiaobing, director of the division of international cooperation of China’s bureau of fisheries, put the yearly overseas catch at 1.15 million tonnes in a speech to the EU last June. Pauly says that figure would be accurate if it referred to the amount brought back to China, rather than the total catch. Liu did not respond to an e-mailed request for comment.

The shark fin message is not getting through
10 December, 2010,
http://www.scmp.com/article/732941/shark-fin-message-not-getting-through
Shark's fin has been banned by Hong Kong Disneyland and the
University of Hong Kong, while 52 restaurants and hotels have promised
to provide at least one banquet menu without it. Surveys consistently
show that a majority of people are willing to break with tradition and
would opt for alternatives, if offered.
They have good reason to feel this way. Many species of shark, as
with all large fish, are endangered by overfishing. The finning industry
is worth an estimated US$1.2 billion annually and it is rapidly
expanding as China becomes more prosperous and appetite for the dish
increases. Demand and the difficulty of managing and monitoring fishing
are driving some species to extinction.
Sustainability aside, it is the cruelty that provokes most anger. In
some cases the fins are hacked from live sharks and the bodies tossed
overboard. It is not known how widespread the practice is, but there is
ample evidence at ports, on seabeds and in the videos of shark
protection groups.
There are too many unknowns about fin fishing to support it. More
than 55 per cent of the global trade comes to our city or passes through
it, so we have got particular reason to want transparency and
regulation. Until the industry can get its house in order, restaurants
and food guides should be better attuned to attitudes and expectations.

Overfishing pushes 80% of Chinese fishermen towards bankruptcy
19.10.2012
Catches of the four main species in the South China Sea – the Japanese Spanish mackerel, eel and the large and small yellow croaker – have plummeted.
“For the last two years profits from coastal fishing have been low,” explained Chen Jiming, chief engineer at Hainan Fisheries Research Institute. “Early estimates show that, with increasing fuel and labour costs, about 80% of fishermen will suffer losses without a diesel subsidy or similar support.”

China's growing appetite for luxury seafood will push up prices
http://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/1773369/chinas-growing-appetite-luxury-seafood-will-push-prices
Mark Godfrey says Chinese consumers' rising demand will benefit Western producers but consumers will have to pay more
Ambitious fish farming plans will increase seafood production
significantly in western European nations like Ireland, Scotland and
Norway. But the expansion is not because locals are eating more fish.
Rather, it's to meet rising Chinese demand for high-end species that
Ireland, Norway and Scotland are all seeking to expand salmon farms off
their coasts. French companies, meanwhile, are seeking licenses to breed
oysters on Ireland's Atlantic coastline to meet demand in China.
Rising incomes have fueled the appetite for luxury seafood in China.
And it's not just European aquaculture that aims to cash in. Traders in
Cape Town pay agents to gather lobsters from the beaches of remote
African countries before shipping them live through air freight hubs
such as Dubai.

China's Secret Holocaust Part 1 | NTD China Uncensored
Apr 10, 2013
Forced organ harvesting of living prisoners of conscience in
China—evidence suggests the gruesome legacy of the Holocaust continues
under the Chinese regime. Chris Chappell breaks through the silence of
the Western media and exposes a horrific new crime against humanity, and
at a US Congressional hearing Congressman Dana Rohrabacher calls
"SHAME" on the failure of journalists to report.

Yes, China still harvests organs from executed prisoners
China is the world's leader in capital punishment, executing "thousands" every year, according to Amnesty International's best guess of the officially secret statistic. A U.S.-based NGO estimates 4,000 executions in 2011 alone, which is actually half of their projected 8,000 in 2007. By comparison, second-ranked Iran used the death penalty 360 times in 2011. The U.S., ranked fifth, used it 43 times...

China's hi-tech 'death van' where criminals are executed and then their organs are sold on black market
Death will come soon for Jiang Yong. A corrupt local planning official with a taste for the high life, Yong solicited money from businessmen eager to expand in China's economic boom.
Showering gifts on his mistress, known as Madam Tang, the unmarried official took more than £1 million in bribes from entrepreneurs wanting permission to build skyscrapers on land which had previously been protected from development.
But Yong, a portly, bespectacled figure, was caught by the Chinese authorities during a purge on corrupt local officials last year.
He confessed and was sentenced to death. China executed 1,715 people last year, so one more death would hardly be remarkable.
But there will be nothing ordinary about Yong's death by lethal injection. Unless he wins an appeal, he will draw his final breath strapped inside a vehicle that has been specially developed to make executions more cost-effective and efficient.
In chilling echoes of the 'gas-wagon' project pioneered by the Nazis to slaughter criminals, the mentally ill and Jews, this former member of the China People's Party will be handcuffed to a so-called 'humane' bed and executed inside a gleaming new, hi-tech, mobile 'death van.'
After trials of the mobile execution service were launched quietly three years ago - then hushed up to prevent an international row about the abuse of human rights before the Olympics last summer - these vehicles are now being deployed across China.
The number of executions is expected to rise to a staggering 10,000 people this year (not an impossible figure given that at least 68 crimes - including tax evasion and fraud - are punishable by death in China).
______________________________________________
Execution van
The execution van, also called a mobile execution unit, was developed by the government of the People's Republic of China and was first used in 1997. There is evidence that mobile execution chambers existed before 1997: the state of Delaware in the United States of America purchased a mobile lethal-injection chamber in 1986. The prisoner is strapped to a stretcher and killed inside the van. The van allows death sentences to be carried out without moving the prisoner to an execution ground. The vans also require less manpower per execution, requiring four persons to assist with the injection. The PRC states that the vans are more humane than previous forms of execution. Human-rights groups predict that the execution rate in China will increase because of mobile capital punishment

Are Plastinated Bodies Murdered Chinese Prisoners of Conscience? | China Uncensored
Jul 24, 2013
A new article in the Weekly Standard by China researcher Ethan Gutmann
asks the question: do the plastinated bodies in Body Worlds and rival
exhibit Bodies: the Exhibition come from murdered Falun Gong prisoners
of conscience? Body Worlds creator Gunther Von Hagens and his former
right hand man Sui Hongjin set up their plastination factory in Dalian
City, Liaoning Province in 1999, the same year as the start of a
nationwide crackdown of Falun Gong adherents in China. And with no
functioning organ donation system in China, and the greatest number of
disappearances of Falun Gong practitioners happened in Liaoning, many
have wondered if there's a connection. Ethan Gutmann has come up with a
solution that could clear Von Hagen of these accusations that have
dogged him for years-DNA testing of his still preserved corpses.

Fury in China after oil leak causes toxic tap water
15/04/2014
An oil leak last Thursday caused an increase in the benzene levels in the drinking water of Lanzhou, a city in northwestern China. Since benzene is a toxic and carcinogenic liquid chemical, the city’s residents rushed to local supermarkets to stock up on bottled water, before city officials had a chance to deal with the problem. But many residents feel that the authorities failed to warn them of the serious health risks they faced.

Casualties Pile Up in China's Internal Political War | China Uncensored
Sep 3, 2013
This is one seriously bad dude, and his downfall could be the prelude to
the end of the Chinese Communist Party. Zhou Yongkang was the
mastermind behind China's vast network of secret police, paramilitary
police, spies and held considerable clout within the Chinese Communist
Party. But now his political rivals have woven a net around him so
close, that he can't escape. He's going down. And it all began with the
trial of Bo Xilai. Chinese leader Xi Jinping looks like he's finishing
the battle started by leader Hu Jintao and premier Wen Jiabao and is
taking out the 'Shanghai clique,' a group of corrupt Chinese leaders
with Jiang Zemin at the head and Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai, making up
the top ring. Together they've been accused of engaging in crimes
against humanity including forced organ harvesting of still living
prisoners of conscience, genocide against Falun Gong, and a host of
other crimes. Is Xi Jinping positioning himself to take down the
Communist Party by taking out '"he flies and tigers?" What's next for
China? Find out on this episode of China Uncensored!

On this episode of China Uncensored, Chris Chappell shows you just why it is the Chinese government doesn't allow its citizens to own guns. HINT: its because they'd be able to fight back. Forced evictions are on the rise as corrupt officials seize land from homeowners and offer little in the way of compensation. Unless you count brutally beating people who resist compensation, in which case you probably need a psychologist. The result is "nail houses," solitary homes that are left sticking out of construction sites like nails. And whether its self-immolation, homemade cannons, or even an online video game, Chinese people are finding ways to fight back.

Bribery Probe Launched Into JPMorgan Hiring Chinese Executives' Children | China Uncensored

Ameriquest, that were in part responsible for the 2008 financial

China Poised to DEMAND US Land As Payment for Debt
Jun 4, 2015
Could real estate on American soil owned by China be set up as
“development zones” in which the communist nation could establish
Chinese-owned businesses and bring in its citizens to the U.S. to work?
That’s
part of an evolving proposal Beijing has been developing quietly since
2009 to convert more than $1 trillion of U.S debt it owns into equity.
Under
the plan, China would own U.S. businesses, U.S. infrastructure and U.S.
high-value land, all with a U.S. government guarantee against loss.
Yu
Qiao, a professor of economics in the School of Public Policy and
Management at Tsighua University in Beijing, proposed in 2009 a plan for
the U.S. government to guarantee foreign investments in the United
States.
WND has reliable information that the Bank of China,
China’s central bank, has continued to advance the plan to convert
China’s holdings of U.S. debt into equity owned by China in the U.S.
The
Obama administration, under the plan, would grant a financial guarantee
as an inducement for China to convert U.S. debt into Chinese direct
equity investment. China would take ownership of successful U.S.
corporations, potentially profitable infrastructure projects and
high-value U.S. real estate.
The plan would be designed to induce China to resume lending to the U.S. on a nearly zero-interest basis.

The Orient Excess (2013): Inside the decadent society that has resulted from three decades of Chinese economic liberalization
For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=64918
Three
decades of economic liberalization have radically changed the face of
China. With the number of Chinese billionaires increasing rapidly, the
red ideals of the past may have been discarded forever.
"You can
never have enough money. Money helps me fulfill my dreams", says Li
Chao, for whom expensive hobbies like motor racing are no longer out of
reach. He represents a new generation of pioneering red capitalists:
immodest, accustomed to success and able to spend more money in one
luxury evening in Shanghai or Beijing than others can earn in a year.
Others, like the real estate developer Wang Dafu, were born into
poverty, but are fast becoming the embodiment of the Chinese dream.
"When I started working I sometimes couldn't afford a beer and a bowl of
noodles." His personal fortune is now estimated at half a billion
Euros. With more and more people splashing the cash the Chinese auto
market is now the largest in the world, the luxury goods market "is
huge" and the art market is "booming". This is life in the new China and
it's one focused on a particularly unique ideology; what one party
member labels, "socialism with Chinese characteristics". But not
everyone is happy with the way things are going."The Communist Party is
nothing but a capitalist party through and through."

Sex Trafficking and China’s One Child Policy
November 06, 2014
http://thediplomat.com/2014/11/sex-trafficking-and-chinas-one-child-policy/
Trafficking of women has been an issue in China for many centuries, thanks to a long history of gender ratio imbalance and male preference. Traditional patriarchal structures reinforce gender inequality, especially in rural areas where women are often times not afforded the same opportunities as men and are forced to submit to male authority. This inequality leaves women increasingly marginalized and vulnerable to trafficking. In the last several decades, sex trafficking has been exacerbated even further by the one child policy.
The Chinese Criminal Law defines trafficking as “the abduction, kidnapping, trading, and transporting of women and children for the purpose of selling.” Forced labor and other trafficking-related crimes are punished as other crimes and not as trafficking offenses.
Despite the ambiguity of its laws, China is not blind to the horrific violation of human dignity and rights that befalls victims of sex trafficking.

Confucius Says, "FIGHT THE POWER!" | China Uncensored
Aug 19, 2013
Confucius is considered China's greatest teacher and his words of wisdom
have been quoted throughout the ages. Confucius also said it was the
duty of the people to rebel if their leaders lack virtue. Naturally he
must be destroyed. That's why the Chinese Communist Party launched an
anti-Confucius campaign in the 60's and 70's. But when that didn't work
out say well, they tried something different. Namely, subvert his name
by creating the Confucius Institute. It's a deal with the devil
basically. The Confucius Institute, operating under full support of the
Chinese government, offers universities free Mandarin classes and
teachers. In exchange, well, just don't question whatever they tell
students in those classes.

Why Is Hong Kong Protesting Against China?
Sep 30, 2014
Thousands of protesters in Hong Kong have gained widespread attention in
their response to recent electoral changes imposed by the Chinese
Government. What exactly are these changes, and how do they affect Hong
Kong's democratic aspirations?
Protest marches and vigils are fairly common in Hong Kong, but what
began on Friday and escalated dramatically on Sunday is unprecedented.
Mass acts of civil disobedience were met by a shocking and swift police
response, which has led to clashes in the streets and popular outrage so
great that analysts can only guess at what will happen next.

China Shows Taiwan How to Handle Protesters | China Uncensored
Apr 3, 2014
China just proved democracy doesn't work! Chinese state-run media has
been criticizing Taiwan following massive protests against a
China-Taiwan trade pact, and now it's China's chance to show Taiwan how
it handles protesters. In the city of Maoming, Guangdong Province,
people took to the streets protesting a paraxylene addition to their
already existing petrochemical plant. It was a deal between local
officials and state-owned oil giant Sinopec. Local officials followed
protocol for how the Chinese Communist Party handles issues: the
government does whatever it wants until it pushes people too far, an
explosion happens, violent crackdown follows, word of it spreads on the
Chinese Internet, censors try to keep pace deleting things,
international media attention spotlights the problem, state-run media
steps in to reassure everyone, and the local government bends.

China's Professional Trolls, the 50 Cent Brigade! | China Uncensored
Oct 14, 2013
China's 50 Cent Brigade, sometimes called the 50 Cent Party, are
essential professional trolls. It's their job to trawl through websites,
both inside and outside of China, and monitor what the public is saying
about the regime and draw the conversation away from anything critical
of China by instead criticizing the United States, Western involvement
in international affairs, or by pointing out the flaws of democracy.
China Uncensored gets plenty of these guys. Ironic since Youtube, along
with Facebook and Twitter are actually banned in China. So it's not just
Sina Webio these guys are on. And since China employs 2 million of
Internet monitors, more than the 1.5 million the People's Liberation
Army, this is clearly a new form of cyber warfare. The weapons are
hacking or virus, but a careful and systematic propaganda push. And

Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_aircraft_carrier_Liaoning
Liaoning (16)
(Chinese: 中国人民解放军海军辽宁舰; pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Jiěfàngjūn Hǎijūn
Liáoníng Jiàn), is the first aircraft carrier commissioned into the
People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force. She is classified as a
training ship, intended to allow the Navy to practice with carrier
usage.
Originally laid down as the Admiral Kuznetsov
class multirole aircraft carrier Riga for the Soviet Navy, she was
launched on December 4, 1988, and renamed Varyag in 1990. The stripped
hulk was purchased in 1998 by the People's Republic of China and towed
to Dalian Shipyard in north eastern China. After being completely
rebuilt and undergoing sea trials, the ship was commissioned into the
PLAN as Liaoning on September 25, 2012.
The ship was
laid down as Riga at Shipyard 444 (now Nikolayev South) in Mykolaiv,
Ukraine, on December 6, 1985. Design work was undertaken by the
Nevskoye Planning and Design Bureau. Launched on December 4, 1988,
the carrier was renamed Varyag in late 1990, after the famous cruiser.
Often referred to as an aircraft carrier, the vessel's design implied a
mission different from carriers of the United States Navy, Royal Navy or
French Navy. The Russian term used by her builders to describe the
ships is "тяжёлый авианесущий крейсер" tyazholiy avianesushchiy kreyser
(TAKR or TAVKR) "heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser", intended to support
strategic missile-carrying submarines, surface ships, and maritime
missile-carrying aircraft of the Russian fleet. The Soviet Union and
later Russia argued that the ships are not aircraft carriers under the
Montreux Convention and not subject to the tonnage limits imposed on
these ships in traveling through the Bosphorus.
Construction
ceased by 1992, with the ship structurally complete but without
electronics. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, ownership was
transferred to Ukraine; the ship was laid up, unmaintained. Ukraine
immediately began searching for possible customers, and made overtures
to China, which sent a high-level expert delegation in 1992. Although
the delegation made a positive report on the condition of the ship,
recommending a purchase, the Beijing leadership declined because of the
international diplomatic situation at the time. Nevertheless, the
People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN, the Chinese navy) did not lose
interest, and four years later took an independent initiative under
cover of a commercial purchase.
In April 1998,
Ukrainian Trade Minister Roman Shpek announced the winning bid of US$20
million from Chong Lot Travel Agency, a Hong Kong-based company, which
proposed to tow Varyag out of the Black Sea, through the Suez Canal and
around southern Asia to Macau, where the ship would be moored and
converted into a floating hotel and casino, similar to the Kiev in
Tianjin and Minsk at Minsk World in Shenzhen. Before the auction was
closed, officials in Macau had warned Chong Lot that it would not be
permitted to berth Varyag in the harbor. Chong Lot is owned by Chin Luck
(Holdings) Company of Hong Kong; four of Chin Luck's six board members
live in Yantai, China, the location of a major navy shipyard; the
chairman Xu Zengping is a former career military officer and captain of a
basketball team with the People's Liberation Army.[4] The sale of the
carrier was successfully closed in 1998

BREAKING – SHOCK: Report Claims China Warships Dock in Syria to Support Russia’s Alliance With Assad
September 26, 2015
There is absolutely zero question Russia is positioning for proxy war
with the United States. In fact, many current events indicate Russia is
already at war with U.S. interests.
Take Ukraine, for instance. The U.S. wanted Ukraine aligned with NATO
while Russia pushed against. The result was civil war with Russia
invading Eastern Ukraine and U.S. backing forces pushing from the west.
Now Russia is moving war planes and military infrastructure into
Syria to support Assad. Russia is also reportedly working with Iranian
interests in preparation to confront ISIS alongside Assad. This in and
of itself is incredibly dangerous. This means Iran and Russia will be
fighting for Assad while the U.S. fights against him.
But it may be getting worse. Much worse.
A new report claims
a Chinese aircraft carrier docked in a Syrian port while a Chinese
guided missile cruiser anchored not far away. The report implies China
could be preparing to join Russia and Iran in Syria.

There's nothing quite as threatening as a tea party. At least, that is,
when the invitation come from Chinese authorities. In a recent
censorship protest outside the Chinese Newspaper, Southern Weekly,
demonstrators were hauled away by police. But a select few went so far
that they got "invitation to tea" messages from local top guns. And in a
country that has state sponsored murder for organs, there's probably
nothing at all sinister about an invitation. It's kind of like an
invitation from Hannibal Lecter to drink a nice bottle of Chianti with

Do as Rome does
China is building the most extensive global commercial-military empire in history
http://qz.com/415649/china-is-building-the-most-extensive-global-commercial-military-empire-in-history/
In any case, not all this will necessarily happen. In a recent note to clients, China observer Jonathan Fenby of the research firm Trusted Sources suggested that it may all be too ambitious. China has had a history of announcing and then shelving projects, such as a $3.7 billion railway canceled by Mexico in February amid allegations of local nepotism. Meanwhile, Japan has begun to challenge Chinese plans. It has launched rival bids for billion-dollar high-speed rail and other projects in Indonesia, Thailand and elsewhere, with relatively low-interest loans and sometimes better technology (paywall).
But Beijing seems to recognize its own limits. Rather, the world may help to build at least some of the infrastructure through another Chinese creation—the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, with its 57 founding members, modeled loosely on the World Bank. Projects backed by the bank are meant to be good for the country where they are built. But given China’s outsize influence in the institution, they are certain to include some that fit into its grand scheme of global infrastructure.

Chinese Government Sued for Genetically Modified Food
April 21, 2015
Chinese citizens have filed a lawsuit against China's Ministry of Agriculture, demanding that the agency make public an animal study used to approve Monsanto's Roundup herbicide nearly three decades ago.
Monsanto provided the animal test to the Ministry in 1985, but to date the Chinese government has refused to release the report, citing Monsanto's right to protect their commercial secrets.
The lawsuit is demanding increased transparency over Roundup, with Chinese citizens eager to review the supposed "safety" study used for its approval. The case has been accepted but a date for a hearing has not yet been set.
While genetically modified (GM) food crops are banned for cultivation in China, the government is reportedly "trying to foster positive public opinion of GMO food crops."
The country also imports 65 percent of the world's soybeans, many of which are GM and doused with Monsanto's Roundup. China is also the biggest producer of Roundup worldwide.

Gene-edited 'micropigs' to be sold as pets at Chinese institute
Cutting-edge gene-editing techniques have produced an unexpected byproduct — tiny pigs that a leading Chinese genomics institute will soon sell as pets.
BGI in Shenzhen, the genomics institute that is famous for a series of high-profile breakthroughs in genomic sequencing, originally created the micropigs as models for human disease, by applying a gene-editing technique to a small breed of pig known as Bama. On 23 September, at the Shenzhen International Biotech Leaders Summit in China, BGI revealed that it would start selling the pigs as pets. The animals weigh about 15 kilograms when mature, or about the same as a medium-sized dog.
At the summit, the institute quoted a price tag of 10,000 yuan (US$1,600) for the micropigs, but that was just to "help us better evaluate the market”, says Yong Li, technical director of BGI’s animal-science platform. In future, customers will be offered pigs with different coat colours and patterns, which BGI says it can also set through gene editing.

Top 10 Chinese Food Scandals
27 Apr 2011
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8476080/Top-10-Chinese-Food-Scandals.html
Glow-in-the-dark pork
Reports and photographs surfaced last month showing pork that glowed an
eerie, iridescent blue when the kitchen lights were turned off. Online
users dubbed it “Avatar” meat and remained sceptical despite
reassurances from the Shanghai Health Supervision Department which said
the pork that has been contaminated by a phosphorescent bacteria and was
still safe eat if well-cooked.
‘Lean meat powder’ pork
China has fought a long-running battle with the use of the steroid
clenbuterol in pork production. Known as ‘lean meat powder’, it can
cause dizziness, heart palpitations, diarrhoea and profuse sweating. The
most recent case occurred last March in a stock market-listed pork
producer, but China has acknowledged 18 outbreaks of food-related
clenbuterol poisoning between 1998 and 2007, according to a report on
the Shanghai Food Safety website.
Toxic take-away boxes
In April 2010 more than 7m toxic disposable food containers were seized
in eastern province of Jiangxi. Although banned in 1999, the foam-boxes
are still in widespread use in China, releasing toxic elements when
warmed by food. The chemicals have the potential to damage livers,
kidneys and reproductive organs.
‘Sewer’ oil
An undercover investigation by a professor from Wuhan Polytechnic
University in March 2010 estimated that one in 10 of all meals in China
were cooked using recycled oil, often scavenged from the drains beneath
restaurants. The State Food and Drug Administration issued a nationwide
emergency ordering an investigation into the scandal of the so-called
‘sewer’ oil, which further dented public confidence in the food
industry.

Chinese scientists genetically modify human embryos
In a world first, Chinese scientists have reported editing the genomes of human embryos. The results are published1 in the online journal Protein & Cell and confirm widespread rumours that such experiments had been conducted — rumours that sparked a high-profile debate last month2, 3 about the ethical implications of such work.
In
the paper, researchers led by Junjiu Huang, a gene-function researcher
at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, tried to head off such concerns
by using 'non-viable' embryos, which cannot result in a live birth, that
were obtained from local fertility clinics. The team attempted to
modify the gene responsible for β-thalassaemia, a potentially fatal
blood disorder, using a gene-editing technique known as CRISPR/Cas9. The
researchers say that their results reveal serious obstacles to using
the method in medical applications.
Serious obstacles
The team injected 86
embryos and then waited 48 hours, enough time for the CRISPR/Cas9 system
and the molecules that replace the missing DNA to act — and for the
embryos to grow to about eight cells each. Of the 71 embryos that
survived, 54 were genetically tested. This revealed that just 28 were
successfully spliced, and that only a fraction of those contained the
replacement genetic material. “If you want to do it in normal embryos,
you need to be close to 100%,” Huang says. “That’s why we stopped. We
still think it’s too immature.”
His team also found a surprising number of ‘off-target’ mutations
assumed to be introduced by the CRISPR/Cas9 complex acting on other
parts of the genome. This effect is one of the main safety concerns
surrounding germline gene editing because these unintended mutations
could be harmful. The rates of such mutations were much higher than
those observed in gene-editing studies of mouse embryos or human adult
cells. And Huang notes that his team likely only detected a subset of
the unintended mutations because their study looked only at a portion of
the genome, known as the exome. “If we did the whole genome sequence,
we would get many more,” he says.
Ethical questions
Huang says that the paper was rejected by Nature and Science, in part because of ethical objections; both journals declined to comment on the claim. (Nature’s news team is editorially independent of its research editorial team.)

Russia Warns Obama: Global War Over “Bee Apocalypse” Coming Soon
May 10th, 2013
The shocking minutes relating to President Putin’s meeting this past
week with US Secretary of State John Kerry reveal the Russian leaders
“extreme outrage” over the Obama regimes continued protection of global
seed and plant bio-genetic giants Syngenta and Monsanto in the face of a
growing “bee apocalypse” that the Kremlin warns “will most certainly”
lead to world war.
According to these minutes, released in the Kremlin today by the
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation (MNRE), Putin was so incensed over the Obama regimes refusal to discuss this grave matter that he refused for three hours
to even meet with Kerry, who had traveled to Moscow on a scheduled
diplomatic mission, but then relented so as to not cause an even greater
rift between these two nations.
At the center of this dispute between Russia and the US, this MNRE
report says, is the “undisputed evidence” that a class of neuro-active
insecticides chemically related to nicotine, known as neonicotinoids,
are destroying our planets bee population, and which if left unchecked
could destroy our world’s ability to grow enough food to feed its
population.

Timeline of the North Korean nuclear program
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_North_Korean_nuclear_program
This Chronology of the North Korean Nuclear Program has its roots in the 1950s and begins in earnest in 1989 with the end of the Cold War and the decline of the USSR as the main economic ally of North Korea. The Chronology mainly addresses the conflict between the United States and North Korea, while including the influences of the other members of the Six-Party Talks, China, Russia, South Korea, and Japan.
Phase I
- 1956: The Soviet Union begins training North Korean scientists and engineers, giving them "basic knowledge" to initiate a nuclear program.
- 1958: The U.S. deploys nuclear armed Honest John missiles and 280 mm atomic cannons to South Korea.
- 1959: North Korea and the USSR sign a nuclear cooperation agreement.
- 1962: The Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center opens.
- 1965: The Yongbyon IRT-2000 research reactor reaches a power rating of 2 MW.
- 1974: The Yongbyon IRT-2000 research reactor reaches a power rating of 4 MW.
- Between the late 1970s and early 1980s North Korea begins uranium mining operations at various locations near Sunchon and Pyongsan.
Phase III
2002
- 11 December: North Korean-made Scud missiles are found aboard a ship bound for Yemen. The US illegally detains the ship, but is later forced to allow the ship to go, conceding that neither country has broken any law.
- 12 December: The North pledges to reactivate nuclear facilities for energy generation, saying the Americans' decision to halt oil shipments leaves it with no choice. It claims the US wrecked the 1994 pact.
- 13 December: North Korea asks the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to remove seals and surveillance equipment - the IAEA's "eyes and ears" on the North's nuclear status—from its Yongbyon power plant.
- 22 December: The North begins removing monitoring devices from the Yongbyon plant.
- 24 December: North Korea begins repairs at the Yongbyon plant. North-South Korea talks over reopening road and rail border links, which have been struggling on despite the increased tension, finally stall.
- 25 December: It emerges that North Korea had begun shipping fuel rods to the Yongbyon plant which could be used to produce plutonium.
- 26 December: The IAEA expresses concern in the light of UN confirmation that 1,000 fuel rods have been moved to the Yongbyon reactor.
- 27 December: North Korea says it is expelling the two IAEA
nuclear inspectors from the country. It also says it is planning to
reopen a reprocessing plant, which could start producing weapons grade
plutonium within months.
Phase IV
2003
- 2 January: South Korea asks China to use its influence with North Korea to try to reduce tension over the nuclear issue, and two days later Russia offers to press Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear programme.
- 6 January: The IAEA passes a resolution demanding that North Korea readmit UN inspectors and abandon its secret nuclear weapons programme "within weeks", or face possible action by the UN Security Council.[16]
- 7 January: The US says it is "willing to talk to North Korea about how it meets its obligations to the international community". But it "will not provide quid pro quos to North Korea to live up to its existing obligations".[17]
- 9 January: North Korea sends diplomats to meet with New Mexico governor Bill Richardson about the nuclear crisis;[18] North Korea also agrees to hold cabinet-level talks with South Korea on 21 January.
- 10 January: North Korea announces it will withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
2006
9 October: North Korea announces that it has performed its first-ever nuclear weapon test.

Why China Supports North Korea

China is one of the few countries still maintaining a strong
relationship with the most hostile country in the world: North Korea.
Just how close are the two nations?

The China-North Korea Relationship
August 22, 2014
http://www.cfr.org/china/china-north-korea-relationship/p11097
An Historic Alliance Under Stress
China's support for North Korea dates back to the Korean War (1950-1953), when its troops flooded the Korean Peninsula to aid its northern ally. Since the war, China has lent political and economic backing to North Korea's leaders: Kim Il-sung (1912-1994), Kim Jong-il (1941-2011), and Kim Jong-un (1983-). But strains in the relationship began to surface when Pyongyang tested a nuclear weapon in October 2006 and China supported UN Security Council Resolution 1718, which imposed sanctions on Pyongyang.Pyongyang's Gains
China provides North Korea with most of its food and energy supplies and comprises over sixty percent of its total trade volume.
Nicholas Eberstadt, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute,
says that since the early 1990s, China has served as North Korea's
chief food supplier and has accounted for nearly 90 percent of its
energy imports. North Korea's economic dependence on China continues to
grow, as indicated by the significant trade imbalance between the two
countries. Some experts see the $1.25 billion trade deficit as an
indirect Chinese subsidy, given that North Korea cannot finance its
trade deficit through borrowing.
Experts say
China has also been ambivalent on the question of its commitment to
intervene for the defense of North Korea in case of military conflict.
The 1961 Sino-North Korean Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance
says China is obliged to defend North Korea against unprovoked
aggression. But Jaewoo Choo, assistant professor of Chinese foreign
policy at Kyung Hee University in South Korea, writes in Asian Survey
that "China conceives itself to have the right to make an authoritative
interpretation of the "principle for intervention" in the treaty. As a
result of changes in regional security in a post-Cold War world, he
writes, "China now places more value on national interest, over
alliances blinded by ideology." But, he argues, Chinese ambiguity deters
others from taking military action against Pyongyang.

China's been sheltering North Korea from serious UN intervention for
years now. That's all well and good until they DETONATE A NUKE! You
can't hug your children with nuclear arms. The radiation would kill
them. The Chinese regime has been blocking stronger sanctions on the
rogue nation because it makes the CCP look good by comparison. And it's
pretty hard to find something that looks worse than Tiananmen Square. On
this episode of China Uncensored, Chris Chappell examines China's tight

Radioactive coal ash from mines near uranium deposits falls on China cities

Uranium shipping is yet another industrial threat to the Great Barrier Reef
Tue 19 March 2013
The announcement by the Queensland Government that it will not rule out
shipping uranium through the Great Barrier Reef will escalate the
threats to the Reef from rapid industrialisation, increased shipping and
ship groundings, according to the Australian Marine Conservation
Society.
Great Barrier Reef Campaign Director, Felicity Wishart,
said yesterday’s announcement from the Queensland Government is
alarming, given the push for development of mega-ports and a shipping
super highway already underway along the Reef.
“This is yet another example of the Queensland Government being prepared
to put the short-term profits of industry ahead of the long-term
benefit of a $6 billion tourism industry that relies on a healthy Reef,”
Ms Wishart said.
“In addition to constructing mega coal
terminals, the Queensland Government is now considering allowing toxic
radioactive uranium to be shipped inside the Reef.
“Current coal
and gas expansion will see 7,000 ships criss-crossing the Reef every
year, but that number could be even higher with uranium ships also
allowed to cut through the Reef,” she said.
"The Great Barrier
Reef is one of the great natural wonders of the world. We will be
holding the government to account for every new plan they announce to
trash the Reef.

Japanese researcher fears Mongolian nomads suffering from radiation exposure
December 18, 2013
http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/people/AJ201312180006
A Japanese researcher has turned to the nomads of Mongolia to help
her document the extent of radioactive contamination in the landlocked
Asian nation.
Ryoko Imaoka, an associate professor of Mongolian studies at
Osaka University, has been supplying used cameras to the nomads of the
Mongolian steppe so they can document the frequency of deformed
livestock, which appears to be on the increase, particularly near
uranium mines.
“With the transition to a market-based economy rapidly in
progress, environmental pollution is becoming a serious problem,” said
Imaoka, 51. “When eating their livestock, nothing goes to waste--even
the last drop of blood. That is Mongolian culture. (The disposal of
nuclear waste there) would definitely affect the people.”
A French-Mongolian joint venture started experimental
drilling three years ago in southern Mongolia in the search for uranium.
Shortly thereafter, increased reports of deformities and birth defects
in livestock near the area started to appear.
Even though the correlation between mining and the
deformities has yet to be proven, reports included the birth of
two-headed lambs and blind camels. Other animals are also suffering from
skin ulcers and blood clots in their bodies.
News of the birth defects comes amid reports that both Japan
and the United States are or were looking at the possibility of dumping
spent nuclear waste in Mongolia.
In the abandoned mining town of Mardai, in northeastern
Mongolia, one of the possible storage sites considered by Japan and the
United States, radioactive waste left over from the large-scale Soviet
mining operations still remains.
The Society of Mongolian Studies, which Imaoka belongs to,
featured the nuclear issue in its journal this summer. It also carried
an essay from Imaoka.
In addition, she is translating a Japanese booklet into Mongolian on how to protect children from radiation exposure.

Tritium release from nuclear power plants in Taiwan.
2003 Mar
Tritium is produced in light water reactors from various sources and the
design source terms for both BWR and PWR plants are reviewed. The
chemical forms of tritium produced in the coolant are discussed in terms
of water radiolysis and free radical reactions in the reactor core
regions, and the major form of tritium released from the coolant systems
is confirmed to be tritiated water. The tritium activity concentrations
and inventories in various coolant systems have been measured, and the
release pathways of tritium from nuclear power plants are also reviewed
in this paper. Decreasing trends of tritium release from nuclear power
plants in both liquid waste and ventilation sources have been observed
in Taiwan. The impact of tritium release on environmental radiation is
estimated with well-established screening models, and the results
confirm that the impact is less than 1% of the regulatory limits and
less than 0.1% of the natural radiation background.

China's Ruthless Crackdown On Its Muslim Population
Oct 1, 2014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5IwwnP5e78
Crackdown: The report on Uigher protests that broke relations between China and Australia
Xinjiang
province has long been the site of ethnic tensions between the Uighur
population and Chinese rule. Amid fears that fanatical Uighurs are
aligning with foreign extremists, the state crackdown is fiercer than
ever.
"A normal person wouldn't raise a butcher's knife to the
elderly and children. Can we still call them human beings?", asks
policeman Ainiding Memtimin. In May he was on the scene when a group of
extremists threw explosives into a busy Urumqi marketplace, killing 39
people. A Uighur himself, like most locals he is baffled by such drastic
violent acts. Yet the tensions that have simmered in this region are
sitting on a knife edge. "Injustice is everywhere here, but we can't
talk about it", says one Uighur farmer in a snatched interview. On
Xinjiang's highways, cars are now being stopped for full airport-style
security checks. The government keeps a close eye on religious
institutions and veils for women and beards for men are actively
discouraged. Teaching in the Uighur language is disappearing in schools
and it's almost non-existent at universities. And it isn't just the
Uighurs feeling the crackdown; enormous numbers of Han Chinese have been
pressed into the province to water down the Uighurs' presence and
influence. In some towns, payments are being offered for inter-marriage.
But is China's central government using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
This report doggedly pushes past the press restrictions and government
minders to tackle this difficult question.

WASHINGTON: Bluntly calling Pakistan a ''prime sponsor of terrorism,'' India on Wednesday asked Islamabad to vacate the part of Kashmir it has occupied, virtually laying down a new paradigm for any resolution of the issue.
''Pakistan is not primary victim of terrorism but of its own policies. It is in fact the prime sponsor of terrorism. Pakistan's instability arises from its breeding of terrorists. Blaming neighbors is not a solution,'' Spokesman of India's Ministry of External Affairs Vikas Swarup said in a series of tweets on Wednesday. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-calls-Pakistan-prime-sponsor-of-terrorism-asks-it-to-vacate-PoK/articleshow/49175779.cms

Did China Lie About Tiananmen Terrorist Attack? (w/t Chinese subtitles) | China Uncensored

Terrorism is pretty serious. I should know, I live in New York. That's why I would hope that if the Jeep that crashed through Tiananmen Square last week really was a suicide attack, the Chinese regime would be open and honest about the evidence for it. Instead they're blaming it on Uighur Muslim extremists from Xinjiang, while cracking down on any independent information or reporting on what happened. And since there are some pretty big questions lingering over the whole thing, the official response is making the whole thing sound pretty fishy.

Jesuits in China
The arrival of Jesuits
The history of the missions of the Jesuits in China is part of the history of relations between China and the Western world. The missionary efforts and other work of the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, between the 16th and 17th century played a significant role in continuing the transmission of knowledge, science, and culture between China and the West, and had an impact on Christian culture in Chinese society today.
Contacts between Asia and the West already dated back hundreds of years, especially between the Papacy and the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. Numerous traders – most famously Marco Polo – had traveled between eastern and western Eurasia. Christianity was not new to the Mongols, as many had practiced Christianity of the Church of the East since the 7th century (see Christianity among the Mongols). However, the overthrow of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty by the Ming in 1368 resulted in a strong assimilatory pressure on China's Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities, and outside influences were forced out of China. By the 16th century, there is no reliable information about any practicing Christians remaining in China.

VATICAN CITY – Former president Shimon Peres emerged from a Vatican City
audience with Pope Francis Thursday after proposing a kind of United
Nations for religions.
Peres, 91, who was the world’s oldest head
of state until his term ended six weeks ago, met with Francis amid
heightened tensions in the Middle East.
He used the talks to highlight human rights abuses from Hamas and to discuss the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe.
But the main topic of conversation was Peres’s idea to create a UN-like organization he called “the United Religions.”
Peres
said the Argentina-born pontiff was the only world figure respected
enough to bring an end to the wars raging in the Middle East and
elsewhere in the world.
“In the past, most of the wars in the
world were motivated by the idea of nationhood,” Peres said. “But today,
wars are incited using religion as an excuse.”
Vatican spokesman
Fr. Federico Lombardi confirmed to reporters that Peres had pitched his
idea for “the United Religions” but said Francis did not commit to it.
“The
pope listened, showing his interest, attention, and encouragement,”
Lombardi said, adding that the pope pointed to the Pontifical Councils
for Interreligious Dialogue and for Justice and Peace as existing
agencies “suitable” for supporting interfaith peace initiatives.

5 Chinese Leaders You Should Know
Kublai Khan (1279-1294)
http://www.history.com/news/5-chinese-leaders-you-should-know
Mongol leader Genghis Khan began launching raids into present-day China almost immediately after uniting the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian plateau in 1206. His grandson Kublai Khan completed the conquest in 1279, bringing all of China under foreign rule for the first time. Kublai, who founded the Yuan Dynasty, deemed the Chinese legally inferior and recruited outsiders such as Venetian merchant Marco Polo to administer the realm.But Kublai also tried hard to win the support of the populace, repairing the damage of war, loosening his predecessor’s draconian penal code, promoting the arts and expanding the efficient Mongolian postal system into China. Moreover, he posthumously gave his ancestors Chinese names and built a Chinese-style imperial capital in what is now Beijing. Despite suffering from depression and gout, not to mention morbid obesity, Kublai held a firm grip on power until his death in 1294. The Mongol empire started crumbling soon afterward, and the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown in 1368.

Eastern Orthodox Church
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church
The Eastern Orthodox Church, officially the Orthodox Catholic Church, also referred to as the Orthodox Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Orthodoxy, is the second largest Christian Church in the world, with an estimated 225–300 million adherents. It tends to be the Church identified most often with the single term "Orthodox",
as it is the largest among the Christian groups that call themselves by
this name. The Orthodox Church is one of the oldest religious
institutions in the world, teaching that it is the continuation of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church established by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission to the apostles, and practicing what it understands to be the original faith passed down from the Apostles (Holy Tradition).
United in communion with the Latin Church for the first half of its history and with the Oriental churches for the first quarter of its history, Orthodoxy spread throughout the Roman and later Byzantine Empires and beyond, playing a prominent role in European, Near Eastern, Slavic, and some African cultures. Its most prominent episcopal see has resided in Constantinople since that city's founding in AD 324, centuries before the East–West Schism around 1054. Nevertheless, Orthodoxy has no Papacy
or bishopric of similar authority. The commonly-used but unofficial
designation of "eastern" derives from its geographical placement in
relation to the "western" churches, which became (Roman) Catholic, and the historical function of Constantinople as the capital city of the eastern part of the Roman Empire.

Russian conquest of Siberia
Conquest of the Khanate of Sibir
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_conquest_of_Siberia
The Russian conquest of Siberia began in July 1580 when some 540 Cossacks under Yermak Timofeyevich invaded the territory of the Voguls, subjects to Küçüm, the Khan of Siberia. They were accompanied by 300 Lithuanian and German slave laborers, whom the Stroganovs had purchased from the tsar. Throughout 1581, this force traversed the territory known as Yugra and subdued Vogul and Ostyak towns. At this time, they also captured a tax collector of Küçüm.
Following a series of Tatar raids in retaliation against the Russian advance, Yermak's forces prepared for a campaign to take Qashliq, the Siberian capital. The force embarked in May 1582. After a three-day battle on the banks of the river Irtysh, Yermak was victorious against a combined force of Küçüm Khan and six allied Tatar princes. On 29 June, the Cossack forces were attacked by the Tatars but again repelled them.
Throughout September 1582, the Khan gathered his forces for a defence of Qashliq. A horde of Siberian Tatars, Voguls and Ostyaks massed at Mount Chyuvash
to defend against invading Cossacks. On 1 October, a Cossack attempt to
storm the Tatar fort at Mount Chyuvash was held off. On 23 October, the
Cossacks attempted to storm the Tatar fort at Mount Chyuvash for a
fourth time when the Tatars counterattacked. More than a hundred
Cossacks were killed, but their gunfire forced a Tatar retreat and
allowed the capture of two Tatar cannons. The forces of the Khan retreated, and Yermak entered Qashliq on 26 October.
Küçüm Khan retreated into the steppes
and over the next few years regrouped his forces. He suddenly attacked
Yermak on 6 August 1584 in the dead of night and defeated most of his
army. The details are disputed with Russian sources claiming Yermak was
wounded and tried to escape by swimming across the Wagay River
which is a tributary of the Irtysh River, but drowned under the weight
of his own chainmail. The remains of Yermak's forces under the command
of Mescheryak retreated from Qashliq, destroying the city as they left.
In 1586 the Russians returned, and after subduing the Khanty and Mansi people through the use of their artillery they established a fortress at Tyumen close to the ruins of Qashliq.
The Tatar tribes that were submissive to Küçüm Khan suffered from
several attacks by the Russians between 1584–1595; however, Küçüm Khan
would not be caught. Finally, in August 1598 Küçüm Khan was defeated at
the Battle of Urmin near the river Ob.
In the course of the fight the Siberian royal family were captured by
the Russians. However, Küçüm Khan escaped yet again. The Russians took
the family members of Küçüm Khan to Moscow and there they remained as
hostages. The descendants of the khan's family became known as the Princes Sibirsky and the family is known to have survived until at least the late 19th century.

The
Jesuits in Japan
http://www.reformation.org/jesuits-in-japan.html
True Christianity reached China and Japan 2000 years:
Behold, these shall come from afar: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim (Isaiah 49:12).The land of Sinim refers to China in the Holy Bible. China had millions of Christians, which the Latin Church derisively referred to as Nestorians or heretics. Marco Polo in his Travels refers to the millions of Christians he found in China.
The vast multitude of Chinese Christians were later exterminated by the Mongols and the Muslims. The Japanese had their own version of the Spanish Armada when the Mongols tried to invade Japan.
The first 3 Jesuits to enter Japan were Francis Xavier, Alessandro Valignano and Francisco Cabral.
Daimyo Nobunaga, sixteenth century military dictator of Japan, welcomed the Jesuit missionaries who came with the Western traders. Contrary to popular belief, when Japan first came into contact with the West she was eager for the interchange of ideas and commercial commodities. Nobunaga granted the Roman Catholics freedom to propagate their religion, donated them land in Kyoto and promised them a yearly allowance of money. Soon missions were established throughout the country and converts were made by the thousands." (Vietnam, Why Did We Go?, p. 146).
|
In 1596 a Spanish galleon, the San Felipe, was shipwrecked off the providence of Tosa. Hideyoshi ordered the ship and its goods confiscated. The angry Spanish captain, wishing to impress or intimidate the Japanese officials, indulged in some boasting how Spain had acquired a great world empire. For proof the captain showed the Japanese officials a map of all the great Spanish dominions. His astonished hearers asked how it had been possible for a nation to subjugate so many lands. The Spanish captain boasted that the Japanese would never be able to imitate Spain, simply because they had no Catholic missionaries. He confirmed that all Spanish dominions had been acquired by first sending in missionaries to convert their people, then the Spanish troops to coordinate the final conquest.
When this conversation was reported, Hideyoshi's anger knew no bounds. His suspicions about the use of missionaries as a first stepping-stone for conquest was confirmed. He recognized this pattern of cunning conquest at work within his own empire.(Vietnam, Why Did We Go?, pp. 151-152).

during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and World War II. It was
responsible for some of the most notorious war crimes carried out by
Japanese personnel. Unit 731 was based at the Pingfang district of
Harbin, the largest city in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (now
Northeast China).
It was officially known as the Epidemic
Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army
(関東軍防疫給水部本部 Kantōgun Bōeki Kyūsuibu Honbu). Originally set up under the
Kempeitai military police of the Empire of Japan, Unit 731 was taken
over and commanded until the end of the war by General Shiro Ishii, an
officer in the Kwantung Army. The facility itself was built between 1934
and 1939 and officially adopted the name "Unit 731" in 1941.
Between
3,000 and 12,000 men, women, and children - from which around 600 every
year were provided by the Kempeitai - died during the human
experimentation conducted by Unit 731 at the camp based in Pingfang
alone, which does not include victims from other medical experimentation
sites. Almost 70% of the victims who died in the Pingfang camp were
Chinese, including both civilian and military. Close to 30% of the
victims were Russian. Some others were South East Asians and Pacific
Islanders, at the time colonies of the Empire of Japan, and a small
number of Allied prisoners of war. The unit received generous support
from the Japanese government up to the end of the war in 1945.
Many
of the researchers involved in Unit 731 went on to prominent careers in
post-war politics, academia, business, and medicine. Some were arrested
by Soviet forces and tried at the Khabarovsk War Crime Trials in 1949;
most remained under American Forces occupation. These researchers were
not tried for war crimes by the Americans so that the information and
experience gained in bio-weapons could be co-opted into the U.S.
biological warfare program. On 6 May 1947, Douglas MacArthur, as Supreme
Commander of the Allied Forces, wrote to Washington that "additional
data, possibly some statements from Ishii probably can be obtained by
informing Japanese involved that information will be retained in
intelligence channels and will not be employed as 'War Crimes'
evidence." The immunity deal concluded in 1948.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

China's Underwater Atlantis "Discovered" | China Uncensored
Oct 2, 2013
The Qiandao Lake in China's Zhejiang Province is home to natural wonder!
Qiandao literally means 1000 islands. But what lies underneath is even
more mysterious. Deep under these waters is as an ancient submerged
city, dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-200 AD). It was once
known as Lion City, named after the 5 Lion Mountain it's nestled under.
The 100 feet deep waters have perfectly preserved this city from
antiquity. They call it China's Atlantis Rediscovered. Except,
rediscovered might not quite be the right word, since it's only been
under water for about 50 years and it's only underwater because they
flooded it when they built a dam.

A solar deity (also sun god or sun goddess) is a sky deity who represents the Sun,
or an aspect of it, usually by its perceived power and strength. Solar
deities and sun worship can be found throughout most of recorded history in various forms. Hence, many beliefs have formed around this worship, such as the "missing sun" found in many cultures.

FREEMASON
http://www.masonicdictionary.com/freemason.html
- A member of the Free and Accepted Masons, an international fraternal and philosophical organization.
William Tyler Olcott offers the
following in his Sun Lore of All Ages, an interesting but uncritical
book, where, on page 304, we may read: "The word 'Masonry is said to be
derived from a Greek word which signifies 'I am in the midst of heaven,'
alluding to the sun. Others derive it from the ancient Egyptian
'Phre,' the sun, and 'Mas,' a child, Phre-mas, i.e., children of the
sun, or sons of light. From this we get our word 'Freemason."'
The excellent Cyclopedia of
Fraternities, compiled and edited by Albert C. Stevens, prefers to
define the term by means of a description, a wise method. Freemasonry,
so we read, "is a secret fraternity, founded upon man's religious
aspirations, which, by forms, ceremonies, and elaborate symbolism, seeks
to create a universal brotherhood, to relieve suffering, cultivate the
virtues, and join in the endless search for truth."

Why Japan is Called the Land of the Rising Sun
Ancient, China developed all of the hallmarks of advanced
civilization, including written language, advanced cities, specialized
labor and bronze technology, as much as 2000 years before Japan.
As a result, China, and its culture, had an enormously large influence
on the younger culture, sharing its philosophies, political structures,
architecture, Buddhism, clothing styles and even its written language.
In fact, the earliest known written account of Japan was found in a
Chinese book.
With such a powerful influence, it stands to reason that, when Japan
was described early in its development, it was from a Chinese
perspective. And when the Chinese looked east to Japan, they looked in
the direction of the dawn.
Early Japanese History
By the time the first Japanese ambassador was sent to the Chinese Han eastern capital in 57 AD, Japan was called Wa (Wo), a name that also designated the Japanese people. According to contemporary Chinese accounts, these early Japanese:
Lived on raw vegetables, rice and fish . . . had vassal-master relations, collected taxes, had provincial granaries and markets . . . [and] had violent succession struggles
In the first century AD, one clan, the Yamato, began to dominate its neighbors, and by the 5th century AD, Yamato became a synonym for Japan. As a single, central government emerged, Japan increasingly followed Chinese culture, including its methods of administration.
By about 600 AD, the Prince Regent of Japan, Shotoku (574-622 AD), who was a big fan of Chinese culture, introduced a wide array of Chinese influences to Japan:
Under Shotoku’s direction, Confucian models of rank and etiquette were adopted . . . [He also] adopted the Chinese calendar, developed a system of highways, built numerous Buddhist temples, had court chronicles compiled, sent students to China to study Buddhism and Confucianism, and established formal diplomatic relations with China.
In addition, Shotoku is widely credited in Japan with coining the name Nippon (“Sun Origin”) for Japan:
Prince Umayado [Prince Shotoku], in the year 607, at the time of the first embassy to the Sui dynasty, sent a letter to the Sui emperor, Yangdi, ‘from the Son of Heaven in the land where the sun rises to the Son of Heaven in the land where the sun sets.
Apparently, the Chinese were offended that Shotoku tried to put himself as “Son of Heaven” on the same plane as the Chinese emperor, also “Son of Heaven.”
Regardless, in 645 AD, according to Japanese history, a palace coup
led to the introduction of the Taika (meaning “great change”) Reform.
Intended to further centralize the government, the reform eliminated
private ownership of lands and put them under the control of the
centralized government – with the “people direct subjects of the throne.” As part of this reform, Nippon, Nihon (both meaning “origin of the sun”) and Dai Nippon (Great Japan) were used “in diplomatic documents and chronicles” in place of Wa (Wo).
In Chinese records, the change of the name was less well received and their accounts differ:
Nippon appeared in history only at the end of the 7th century. Old Book of Tang, one of the Twenty-Four Histories, stated that the Japanese envoy disliked his country’s name Wonguo and changed it to Nippon, or “Origin of the Sun.” Another 8th century chronicle, True Meaning of Shiji, however, states that the Chinese Empress Wu Zetian ordered a Japanese envoy to change the country’s name to Nippon.
Another Chinese account of the transformation, found in the official history of the Tang dynasty, the Xin Tang Shu, reported:
In . . . 670, an embassy came to the Court [from Japan] to offer congratulations on the conquest of Koguryo. Around this time, the Japanese who had studied Chinese came to dislike the name Wa and changed it to Nippon. According to the words of the Japanese envoy himself, that name was chosen because the country was so close to where the sun rises.
In any event, the name stuck, and for the last 1400 years or so, the world has referred to Japan as Nippon, the land of the rising sun.

Twelve Symbols of Sovereignty
The Twelve Symbols of Sovereignty (十二章紋) representing Chinese imperial authority appeared on the five-clawed dragon robes (Traditional Chinese: 龍袍 Chinese: 龙袍 lóng páo) of the emperor since the Western Zhou Dynasty (1050-771 B.C.)
http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/Chinese_Customs/symbols_of_sovereignty.htm
#1: Sun (日 - rì)
The Sun symbolises the source of life. In the context of sovereignty,
the Sun is the symbol of enlightenment and is sometimes depicted by the
three legged bird (crow) on a red disc.
[The three-legged bird is a creature of various mythologies, it inhabits and represents the Sun].
#5: The five-clawed dragon is the emperor's sacred symbol of imperial power, representing its dignity.
Even though dragons are mythological animals, they are symbols of the natural world, they are the rulers of the seas and the skies.
The rain divinity is associated with heavenly beneficence and fecundity.
Dragons symbolise adaptability as they are capable of
transformations, they also symbolise power and they are the highest
symbol of good luck in the animal kingdom.
In Chinese art the dragon evolved from a limbless snake-like
creature in the pre Qin dynasty (pre 221 BC) to the composite creature, a
combination of many animals, including the horns of a stag, ears of a
bull, eyes of a rabbit, claws of a tiger and the scales of a fish, all
on a long serpent’s body.

Further investigations are beginning to point to the possibility of an underwater volcanic hill based on more recent scans.
More information should come to the surface. Some believe this new
explanation may be a cover up but that position is currently based on
a belief only.
Portuguese news reported the discovery of a very large under water
pyramid first discovered by Diocleciano Silva between the islands of São
Miguel and Terceira in the Azores of Portugal. According to claims, the
structure is said to be perfectly squared and oriented by the cardinal
points. Current estimates obtained using GPS digital technology put the
height at 60 meters with a base of 8000 square meters. The Portuguese
Hydrographic Institute of the Navy currently has the job of analyzing
the data to determine whether or not the structure is man-made.

Merheleva Ridge
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merheleva_Ridge
Merheleva Ridge (Ukrainian: ????????? ?????, also transliterated (Mergeleva) is the site of an Eneolithic temple and burial complex consisting primarily of four large stone mounds or kurgans situated near Perevalsk, Luhansk oblast, Ukraine, about 30 km to the west-to-southwest of the city of Luhansk. Its name is Ukrainian adaptation of word marlstone which is a type of limestone common in the region.[1] Supposedly the site was built in about 4000 BC, corresponding to the Dnieper-Donets or early Yamna culture, and remained in use throughout the Bronze Age and well into the Iron Age, until 5th century BC Sarmatia. It was discovered in 2004, and the discovery officially announced on 7 September 2006.
The site was discovered in 2004 by school children participating in an archaeology camp organised by Alchevsk history teacher Vladimir Paramonov, who has been organising expeditions of schoolchildren to the hill range since 1995.
It is believed that much of the site was constructed about 3000 BC, in the early Bronze Age. The site is believed to be a complex of temples and sacrificial altars topping a hill with sides sculpted into steps.
Viktor Klochko, the archaeologist in charge of the dig site and deputy Minister of Science of the Tourism and Protection of Cultural Heritage Department of the Lugansk regional administration, said that the discovery was of international significance as the first monument of its kind found in Eastern Europe:
Misidentification as pyramid and clarification
Initial reports indicated that archaeologists had discovered a pyramidal structure.
Klochko blamed the press: "I'm not sure where the pyramid idea came from - the media got it wrong," says Klochko. "We didn't find anything like an Egyptian pyramid. Though the site is on a hill. But it's interesting enough in its own right."

Landmarks of Ukraine
Inthe village of Lychkivtsi in the Land of Ternopilshchyna you can see a somewhat disturbing piece of sculpture — on a pedestal stands a pillar on the top of which there sits a human head in a helmet but without the lower jaw. There is an inscription on the pedestal but it is impossible to read it because the stone has crumbled away in many places leaving only illegible traces of letters. Local lore has it that it is the monument to a young man who was captured by the Tartars during one of their raids in the times of old, but who erected the monument and when remains unclear. Not far from this monument there is another one that commemorates an epidemic disease that struck the village in the 1830s when hundreds of people died.
The village used to be the estate of the local nobles but now only ruins indicate the spots where the castle, the church and other buildings used to stand.
It was in the village of Lychkivtsi that a pagan idol, the representation of god Svyatovyd, was found in 1848. The reliefs carved on the idol reflect the ancient Slavic view of the Universe.

Pyramid near Moscow - Russian Wonder of
the World.
http://www.pyramids.ru/english.html
Alexander
Golod, who coordinated groups of scientists in Russia, carried out
scientific studies for over a decade in fiberglass Pyramids built by
him. The results showed significant positive effects for both biological
and non-biological materials. The largest Pyramid built by Alexander
Golod in Russia is 44 meters (144 feet) high and weights 55 tons.
Some of the scientific results of previous studies with Golden Section Pyramids built by Alexander Golod show:
The Immune system of organisms increased upon exposure in the pyramid
(Scientific Research Institute named by Mechnikov, Russian Academy of
Medical Sciences);
Specific properties of medicines
increase with decreasing side effects after exposure in the Pyramid
(SRI of Virology named by Ivanovskiy, Russian Academy of Medical
Sciences);
Agricultural seeds placed in the pyramid showed a 30-100% increase in yield;
Russian
military radar detected an energy column above the Pyramids built by
Alexander Golod which is thought to have repaired the Ozone layer in
Russia (the same can be done for example in Australia);
The pathogenic strength of different viruses and bacteria becomes less with exposure in the pyramid;
The amount of radioactivity becomes less after exposure in the pyramid.
______________________________________________
Amazing Russian Pyramid Research
http://ten1000things.org/russian-pyramid-power/
Brief Summary of Pyramid Research Results
- Immune system of organisms improved (blood leukocyte composition increased).
- improved regeneration of tissue
- seeds stored in the pyramid for 1-5 days showed a 30-100% increase in yield
- soon after construction of the Lake Seliger pyramid a marked improvement of the ozone was noted above the area
- seismic activity near the pyramid research areas are reduced in severity and size
- violent weather also appears to decrease in the vicinity of the pyramids
- pyramids constructed in Southern Russia (Bashkiria) appeared to have a positive effect on oil production with oil becoming less viscous by 30% and the yield of the oil wells increased according to tests carried out by the Moscow Academy of Oil and Gas.
- a study was done on 5000 prisoners who ingested salt and pepper that had been exposed to the pyramid energy field. The test subjects exhibited a greatly reduced violence rate and overall behavior was much improved.
- standard tissue culture tests showed an increase in survival of cellular tissue after infection by viruses and bacteria
- radioactive substances show a decreased level of radiation inside the pyramid
- there are reports of spontaneous charging of capacitors
- physicists observed significant changes in superconductivity temperature thresholds and in the properties of semi-conducting and carbon nano materials.
- water inside the pyramid will remain liquid to minus 40 degrees Celsius but freeze instantly if jostled or bumped in any way
So, as you can see from this brief introduction, there is much we have to learn about the natural forces around us. The Egyptians knew some of this when they designed the great pyramids at Giza. However, with modern scientific research techniques it is now becoming possible to gain even more insight and benefit from “Russian Pyramid Power!”

Pyramid Hill of the Lake Baikal, Russia
In 2007 an architect and scholar of the Irkutsk State Technical University Lubov Makogon visited with her student Port Baikal, a little fisher port town on western Baikal lakeshore where she noted an unusual hill with four visible sides oriented to the North. The hill in height of 80 meters with the width of the base in 170 meters located in the center of Baikal Port close to the lakeshore and had a perspective view from the lake and mouth of the Angara river.
Being a Member of the Russian Union of the Architects Lubov Makagon made observation that this pyramid hill is only one hill in all that area with four visible pyramidal sides and four edges of the sides getting interesting connections with surrounding hills. In 2012 she visited again Port Baikal with a group of her students where she found topographic base area and made topographic technical research. This research gave more features that the hill is can be pyramidal construction with direct orientation to the North. More over this pyramid hill has amazing connections with suburb hills which is clear to see on the topographic research made by Lubov Makagon and shared with World-Pyramids.
There are no doubts for professional architect Lubov Makagon that it’s real pyramid on the lakeshore of the Baikal. For further investigation the Baikal pyramid hill need in detail research as the local legends and mythology.

Pyramids of Güímar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramids_of_G%C3%BC%C3%ADmar
The Pyramids of Güímar refer to six rectangular pyramid-shaped, terraced structures, built from lava stone without the use of mortar. They are located in the district of Chacona, part of the town of Güímar on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain.
The structures have been dated to the 19th century AD and their
original function may well be explained as a byproduct of contemporary agricultural techniques.
Other pyramids employing the same methods and materials of
construction can be found in various sites on Tenerife. In Güímar itself
there were nine pyramids, only six of which survive.
Astronomical research and Freemasonry
In
1991, research by Juan Antonio Belmonte Avilés, Antonio Aparicio Juan
and César Esteban López, researchers of the Canary Institute of
Astrophysics, shown that the long sides of some of the terrace
structures at Güímar marked the direction of both solstices. The main
limiting wall points to the sunset in the Summer solstice and the
pyramids have stairs on their western side which face the direction of
the rising sun on the Winter solstice. Also, standing on the platform of
the largest pyramid on the day of the Summer solstice it is possible to
experience a double sunset, as first the sun sets behind a mountain
top, then it emerges again from behind the mountain and sets a second
time behind a neighbouring peak. However, considering the room for
interpretation, it is impossible based solely on these observations to
conclude what was the intention of the builders or the building date.
In
2005, a book was published in Spanish by Aparicio and Esteban titled
The Pyramids of Güímar: Myth and Reality. Aparicio and Esteban suggest
that the solstitial orientations of the pyramids were potentially
motivated by the Freemasons symbolism. These authors argue that
solstices are very important in the symbolism of Freemasonry and that
the owner of the land in the epoch in which the pyramids were built was
himself a freemason. This motivation would be only an aesthetic one and
would not modify in any rate the fundamental motivation (agriculture)
and date of construction.

Origins of Freemasonry: The Church Hires Merovingian Stone Masons
Mar 14, 2013
http://gnosticwarrior.com/church-hires-merovingian-stone-masons.html
Benedict crossed the ocean and passed into Gaul, when he made inquiry for masons who could build him a church of stone after the Roman style, which he always loved. - Saint Bede, Doctor of the Catholic Church and Father of English History.
In my search for the beginning origins of freemasonry,
my path has led me to a most mysterious and almost forgotten medieval
time that seems to be lost in history. It was an era with very little
brotherly unity when various peoples such as the Saxons, Picts, Angles
and other pagan tribes along with the Celtic Druid Priesthood had held
sway in much of what we know today as England, Ireland, Scotland and France in the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th centuries.
This was also the pivotal period in the past when some of these kingdoms, tribes and members
of this same Druid priesthood would make an alliance with the Roman
Church to create a new unified Brotherhood called the "Universal Church
(Catholic)." This would be the same exact time in history where you will
find stone masons (Freemasons)
that were specifically hired by this new Christian Brotherhood to
perform a mass building campaign for the Universal Church across the
world.
In the course of my research I have found
no other evidence of Freemasons working inside the Brotherhood or being
bestowed with the
secret mysteries because before this time, most builders or stone masons
were not true freeman and the previous secret societies had only
allowed royal blood to become members of such "Brotherhoods." This was
an ancient customary family practice of the Druids and it was also the same policy of the Romans, and the Egyptians.
The
facts are that this new Christian Brotherhood would have many secrets
and plans that they would need to conceal in the darkness from outsiders
or enemies. In order to accomplish this, they would have to develop a
system of CHAO to protect these secrets from even their own hired
craftsman such as the Merovingian
stone masons, that I will discuss in more detail below. Simply put,
these stone masons would be set with the task to build many churches
around the world where they would often spend years working along side
these priests, bishops and monks. To enter into such a secret
Brotherhood with so much on the line (the world and world peace), there
would be many secrets and secret oaths that would need to be protected.
The penalty for breaking these oaths would be death and nothing less.

Many
people often think, that different royal families, such as the British
Royal Family, lost all of their political influence and power, when
England became a democracy.
We can still see how this family, still has political power, in the Commonwealth of Nations.
Many
royal families in China, including families with a lot of wealth and
power, wanted to gain back their political influences and power, as much
as they could. This is why when they were first forming a democracy in
China, they were debating if the Emperor should rule the government as
an emperor, or a president. We can see that different dynasties and

years in China. China has a very long history or different families,

The Royal Family of Australian Communism
September 01st 2010https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2010/09/the-royal-family-of-australian-communism/
The Aarons family were influential Australian communists over three or four generations. In presenting his family’s story Mark Aarons has two aims which are in conflict with each other. One is to criticise his family for being supporters of communist mass murderers—he admits some communists “betrayed” Australia, a strong word. The other aim is to salvage something from the wreckage by bignoting his relatives, particularly his father Laurie Aarons, for being close to the centre of great events, as though some of the glamour rubs off on them. He claims they wielded great influence (especially in the ALP), and had the biggest ASIO files (Why is this surprising, why an occasion for boasting?). It’s a tightrope act to reconcile these contradictory aims, and Mark Aarons falls off on a number of occasions.
The Aarons family were Leninists of the Stalinist variety who supported a regime which kept a great nation, Russia, in physical and psychological thrall for seven decades. Along with Mao, the Soviet communists were the worst mass murderers in history. This book has a major problem with the misleading term “Stalinist”. It’s based on the belief that being Stalinist is bad, but once you dropped Stalinism, as Laurie Aarons did after 1968, you are a goodie. But the accurate descriptive term is “Leninist”, never mentioned in this book. Laurie Aarons was a Leninist totalitarian from the moment he joined the Communist Party of Australia (CPA). For some decades he espoused a particularly virulent form of that disease, Stalinism, but then reverted to his basic Leninist persona. The thing is not to praise him for this move, which this book does, but to condemn him as a lifelong Leninist operative.

China Apologist Turns TED Talk Into Propaganda Tool | China Uncensored
Aug 23, 2013
What happens when a TED talk becomes a propaganda tool? That's what we
find out on this episode of China Uncensored. Eric X Li is a venture
capitalist from Shanghai. For 20 minutes, he lectures on the failings of
democracy and the success of one party rule by the Chinese Communist
Party in China based on three points-adaptability, meritocracy, and
legitimacy. He says US President Barack Obama wouldn't even be qualified
to be a small county manager in China. And even though each of his
arguments are so stunningly flawed, a few jokes about George W. Bush and
the audience is on their feet giving the man a standing ovation by the
end. These are ideas not worth passing on.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Rothschilds & British Royal Family Connections

GUEST BIO:
Greg Hallett trained in various psychological models in parallel with his architecture degree and training. He travelled widely behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, hitchhiking on planes, making bunks out of airmail bags, to party and report between cities. His contacts in Eastern Europe led to deep penetration of the Soviet State, how it functioned and how it was to colonise the West.
It was these qualifications that led him to buy buildings in Moscow immediately after the Berlin Wall fell. This led to interviews with the KGB and their revelations about the planned sex-communism and deconstruction of Westerners. What they had planned for the West happened in the West. Equally all modern history can be dated back to 1945. What Hitler planned for the world happened to the world over the next sixty years.

Agenda 21 and the Mystery of the Chinese Ghost Cities
August 24, 2014
As ISIS is rampaging across Iraq and Syria, Ebola is on the loose and
the flames of civil discontent are spreading across the United States,
the country stands at a crossroads. There are many in the media who
believe that America sits on the precipice of martial law followed by
World War III. All signs certainly point to these fears coming to
fruition. A question that very few seem to ask is what will society be
like after World War III and the ushering in of the New World Order?
The United States has a canary in the mine from which to predict its
future and it has to do with how China is implementing the United
Nations based Agenda 21 policies. Agenda 21 certainly is impacting our
daily lives, however, the big changes will not felt until after the
United States collapses or is conquered. If one wants to know what life
will be like when that time comes, we can look across the Pacific to
China.
China has long led the world in repressive and inhuman enforcement of
its population with repressive one-child policies, mandatory
sterilization and forced abortions. We also know that China permits
corporate slave labor (e.g. Walmart)
within its boundaries by globalist corporations. China is also becoming
a model for the implementation of Agenda 21 and this implementation
phase is taking a new and dramatic twist through the creation of a
series of “ghost cities” in which monolithic cities are built, but there
are only a few to no residents occupying these cities. Dateline
Australia estimates that as many as 10 of these cities are being built
every year. We, in the United States, should watch this Agenda 21 canary
in the mine because it represents our future.

China, Iceland and the Arctic
Recently, China has
faced significant challenges in artificial fish breeding: Last year, the
number of fish farms plunged by 30 percent and another 20 percent were
considered overexploited. The causes of these negative statistics were
environmental pollution and uncontrolled catching. On the other hand,
Iceland has demonstrated annual growth in local farm production. Within
the last two years it has doubled the number of farmed fish to 14,000
tons. Chinese investment would enable Reykjavik to increase output and
boost its competitive position. For reference, active fish farming in
Norway enabled Oslo to produce 1.5 million tons of fish annually.

China Looks North: Carving Out a Role in the Arctic
Apr. 30, 2015
https://www.asiapacific.ca/canada-asia-agenda/china-looks-north-carving-out-role-arctic
Approximately 1,500 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle lies
China’s northernmost settlement, a snowy village simply referred to as
“Arctic village” or “beiji cun.” Although it has no Arctic territory and
no history of audacious polar treks, China has steadily increased its
voice and engagement in the region, particularly during Canada’s
chairmanship of the Arctic Council, which began in May 2013 and
concluded on April 24.
Recently, Chinese officials have referred to the concept of becoming a
“polar region power.” And while China’s strategic, commercial and
scientific interests in the region are not difficult to discern, it is
not entirely clear how it will pursue these interests and what the
implications might be for Canada. Nonetheless, the contours of China
becoming a polar region power are starting to become visible through
debates and discussions within China, as well as through its bilateral
and multilateral engagement, especially with Russia and Nordic
countries.
Becoming a “Polar Power”
China has several obvious interests in the Arctic, including:
Scientific research: To date, China’s engagement
with the Arctic has focused mainly on scientific research. [1] China has
sought to justify its focus on Arctic issues by emphasizing the global
impact of the shrinking ice cap. On its website, China’s Arctic and Antarctic Administration (CAA) tells readers
that the country needs to conduct Arctic expeditions because the region
“has very obvious practical significance for our climate, environment,
agriculture, resource” and other areas.
Resources – The Arctic is believed to be rich in
hydrocarbons, water, minerals and fish. It is a veritable “treasure
trove of resources,” according to the CAA. But the majority of Arctic
resources lie within the undisputed 200-nautical mile Exclusive Economic
Zones allocated to the five circumpolar countries by the United Nations
on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Although Chinese officials frequently
refer to China’s “rights and interests” in the Arctic in Chinese media
and on government websites, they have also stated that they respect the
sovereignty of Arctic countries and are seeking opportunities to
cooperate.
In December, an anonymous State Oceanic Administration official told the Chinese newspaper Guangming Daily
that China will continue to strengthen its capacity to undertake polar
expeditions, including the completion of its second ice-breaker.
Speaking at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykavik, Iceland last year, a senior Chinese diplomat told the audience
that “China-Nordic Arctic Cooperation is increasingly expanding from
research area to economic area, like ship building, shipping, and
resource development.”

Russian Sanctions, China, and the Arctic
January 03, 2015
Russian Arctic offshore energy efforts are in a period of unwelcome
pause, and the flight of Western companies in the face of sanctions
imposed by their home countries has left the future of these efforts up
in the air. But this state is unlikely to last for long. Western firms
have left incredible opportunity in their wake, and China is in the
perfect position to benefit.
Over the past 10-15 years, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has systematically increased its activity
in the high north through various avenues. Russia’s current relations
with the West are likely to substantially boost this enterprise, which
should concern the international community given the importance that the
Arctic will play in the years to come. The region’s massive resource
reserves, China’s growing presence, Chinese challenges to regional
Arctic governance, and the current standoff between Russia and the West
are a potentially potent combination. This situation should be
recognized and efforts should be made to mitigate possible negative
consequences.

religious persecution, murder, and disappearances, tensions between
China and Tibetans are boiling. On this episode of China Uncensored,
Chris Chappell tells the bloodstained history of modern Tibet, from the
invasion by the Chinese Communist Party in 1950, to the exile of the
Dalai Lama, the questionable death of the Panchen Lama, riot after riot,
protest after protest, a flood of immigration from Han and Hui Chinese
ethnicities, even to the Chinese regime's decision to ban reincarnation
without government permission. And with over one hundred self-immolation
since 2009, what does the future hold for Tibet.

Mount Everest Shrank as Nepal Quake Lifted Kathmandu
http://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/mt-everest-shrank-nepal-quake-lifted-kathmandu-n351271
The first good view of the aftermath of Nepal's deadly earthquake from a satellite reveals that a broad swath of ground near Kathmandu lifted vertically, by about three feet, which could explain why damage in the city was so severe.
The new information comes from Europe's Sentinel-1A radar satellite. The images also reveal that some of the world's tallest peaks — including Mount Everest — dropped by about one inch, according to the nonprofit UNAVCO, a geoscience research consortium. That's because the Earth's crust relaxed in the areas north of the Kathmandu, after the earthquake released pent-up strain.

- Summary:
- The Tibetan Plateau -- the world's largest, highest, and flattest plateau -- had a larger initial extent than previously documented, Earth scientists have demonstrated. Known as the "Roof of the World," the Tibetan Plateau covers more than 970,000 square miles in Asia and India and reaches heights of over 15,000 feet. The plateau also contains a host of natural resources, including large mineral deposits and tens of thousands of glaciers, and is the headwaters of many major drainage basins.

Pollutants waft over the Himalayas
14 April 2015
World’s highest mountain range is no barrier to smoke from south Asia’s cooking stoves and forest fires.
Pollutants on the icy Tibetan Plateau, which absorb solar radiation and
are accelerating the melting of snow and ice, are known to come from as
far afield as Africa and Europe. But work by Chinese researchers now
suggests a brownish haze of pollution from forest fires, crop burning
and domestic cooking stoves in south Asia is also contributing to the problem. It can waft up and over the Himalayas to settle on the plateau, they report.
“Many people assume that pollutants piling up on the southern slope
of the Himalayas would not go anywhere because the mountains are simply
too high,” says Cong Zhiyuan, an environmental scientist at the Chinese
Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research in Beijing.
There
were indirect signs that pollution could travel over or around the
mountain range: for example, ice-core samples taken from the
southeastern Tibetan Plateau show rising soot concentrations during
times of rapid industrial growth in India. In two studies — one
published last week1, and one earlier this year2
— Cong and his colleagues report more definitive evidence that the
Himalayas do not block pollution's passage from the south: they find
similar types and concentrations of pollutants on both the south and
north sides of Mount Everest.

Pollutants Now Accumulating in Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau
In 2008, Xu and his colleagues first reported
the presence of DDT, hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the East Rongbuk Glacier near Mount
Everest. “Their levels correlate well with human use of those
chemicals,” says Wang Xiaoping, an environment scientist at the ITP who
was lead author of that study. For instance, the amount of DDT fell
sharply during the 1970s, when many European countries started to ban
its use, but rose again after 1990s, when its use rose heavily in the
Indian subcontinent.

Is dust pollution speeding up melting of Himalayan glaciers? -
5 Aug, 2013
Ramesh Singh at the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences of Chapman University in California, who was formerly a professor of the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, has been asked by the IACS to submit a detailed proposal bringing out objectives of the proposed working group.
While at Kanpur, Singh used optical and microwave remote sensing satellite data extensively over the Himalayan region and also had a research project for three years jointly with the Snow and Avalanche Institute in Manali under the defence ministry.
While analyzing the satellite data, Singh noticed during the winter season a vast pool of atmospheric pollution over the Indo-Gangetic plains reaching all the way to the Himalayan foothills.
"The dust which is very common in the western parts of India almost every year (during April-June) reaches to the western parts of the Himalayas," Singh told IANS.
He said the dust also enhanced water vapour and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere resulting in the warming up of the troposphere, especially in the western parts of the Himalayan region accelerating the melting of glaciers there.
He added that pollution in the Indo-Gangetic plains from industrial activities, biomass burning and sometimes forest fires further contributed to the warming of troposphere and the Himalayan snow/glaciers.
In the eastern parts of the Himalayan region, black carbon from the forest fires in countries on the eastern side of India "deposits on the snow/glaciers of the Himalaya and Tibetan region", Singh said.
According to Singh, it is difficult to say which one affects the glaciers most -- black carbon or the dust.
"In theory, black carbon is a lot more effective but generally the dust concentration is much higher than black carbon and therefore dust can have larger impact," he said.
"It really depends on the relative concentrations of dust and black carbon and a coordinated study is needed to understand this."
Singh added that under the proposed Himalayan ice melt collaborative study, India's ministry of earth sciences may consider deploying a network of automatic weather stations and dust monitoring stations.

Do the Himalaya Export Air Pollutants from the Ganges Basin?
04/2009
The Ganges Basin in South Asia ranks close to Eastern China in both population and air pollutant emissions. During the winter-spring dry season it often experiences a similar "atmospheric brown cloud" haze layer of aerosols and trace gases. Global model results, however, have suggested that the Ganges Basin's contribution to long distance pollution transport is significantly less than that of Eastern China. The assumption is that, for much of the dry season, the Ganges Basin experiences a large-scale inversion that suppresses vertical mixing of pollutants into the jet stream aloft. Yet both observations at high-altitude stations (such as the Nepal Climate Observatory - Pyramid station located at 5079 meters above sea level near Everest Base Camp) and vertically resolved satellite data show significant pollution levels at high altitudes over the Himalaya, which line the northern edge of the Ganges Basin. Using the WRF model at resolutions as high as 1 km, along with photography over the Himalaya, we present several mechanisms by which pollutants from the boundary layer over the Ganges Basin can be transported vertically by Himalaya meteorology to heights where they can mix into the jetstream and be exported long distances. These mechanisms are closely tied to the shape of the topography and operate at scales of less than a few kilometers while global model grid spacing typically exceeds 100 km. We attempt to sum up the total contribution to pollutant export by the entire Himalaya region, and discuss the implications for both air quality over the Ganges Basin and global atmospheric chemistry and climate.

Himalayan pollution 'could impact monsoon cycle'
[KATHMANDU] Researchers have shown that pollution from China, India, Nepal and Pakistan can reach altitudes of over 5,000 metres in the Himalayas, contributing to the warming of the atmosphere and potentially affecting the South-East Asian monsoon cycle.
They also found that new aerosol particles — ultrafine particles suspended in the atmosphere — can form at these heights.
The French–Italian team, whose findings were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week (13 October), conducted their study over a 16-month period at the Himalayan Nepal Climate Observatory site in Nepal's Khumbu Valley, located at an altitude of 5,079 metres.

New research provides most thorough analysis yet of outdoor cremation

of quantifying and characterizing region-specific, cultural combustion
activities to enhance existing aerosol emission budgets and climate

- Summary:
- The exhaust from diesel-fueled vehicles, wood fires and coal-driven power stations contains small particles of soot that flow out into the atmosphere. The soot is a scourge for the climate but also for human health. Now for the first time, researchers have studied in detail how diesel soot gets stuck in the lungs. The results show that more than half of all inhaled soot particles remain in the body.

Aircraft observations of elevated pollution layers near the foothills of the Himalayas during CAIPEEX-2009
Pre-monsoon aerosols in the northern part of India may play an important role in the advancement of the monsoon. This study investigates the properties of aerosols and their spatial and vertical distribution near the foothills of the Himalayas using data from an instrumented aircraft during the Cloud Aerosol Interactions and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX), 2009. CAIPEEX was conducted over five days during May 2009 in the northern part of India near the foothills of the Himalayas. On all the flight days thick haze was observed, with elevated aerosol layers up to 4 km with varying concentrations. The sources are identified as being from local anthropogenic activities such as biomass burning, as inferred from MODIS fire maps and dust from local as well as from long-range transport, as suggested by trajectory analysis. The aerosol size distributions depict the increases in both fine and coarse mode aerosols in polluted layers. This indicates that aerosols over this region are well mixed and the vertical distribution is a mixture of both biomass burning and dust aerosols at different altitudes, as also observed by CALIPSO and inferred from Mie calculations. Clouds observed above the elevated aerosol layers showed higher droplet concentrations (200–1400 cm−3) with small effective radii (3.5 to < 6 µm). Ice phase observed above 6 km at temperatures lower than −14°C might be due to the presence of dust aerosol acting as potential ice nuclei. Copyright © 2012 Royal Meteorological Society

atmosphere. They act like an invisible blanket that warm up the
atmosphere. The researchers calculated that the blanket effect of BC on
any non-cloudy, winter day in Guwahati, resulted in shooting up the
temperature by 2°C more than what it would have been without the
aerosols. For example, during January and February of 2011 if the
temperature of Guwahati was 25°C with the aerosols, the researchers say
it would have actually recorded 23°C without the pollutants. This
temperature increase could also hold true during other seasons of the
year, Chakrabarty says.

Glacier changes at the top of the world: Over 70 percent of glacier volume in Everest region could be lost by 2100
May 27, 2015
If
greenhouse-gas emissions continue to rise, glaciers in the Everest
region of the Himalayas could experience dramatic change in the decades
to come. A team of researchers in Nepal, France and the Netherlands have
found Everest glaciers could be very sensitive to future warming, and
that sustained ice loss through the 21st century is likely. The research
is published today (27 May) in The Cryosphere, an open access journal
of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).

Recent decades likely wettest in four millennia in Tibet
- February 11, 2014
Recent decades may have been the wettest in 3,500 years in North East
Tibet -- according to climate researchers. Researchers looked at
3,500-year-long tree ring records from North East Tibet to estimate
annual precipitation. They found that recent decades have likely been
the wettest on record in this semi-arid region.

More grasslands in Tibet could bring climate improvements
- Date:
- August 20, 2015
- Source:
- University of Gothenburg
- Summary:
- In the Arctic, enhanced vegetation growth amplifies global warming. On the Tibetan Plateau, however, the situation is the reverse. "The trend in Tibet is the opposite of what we are seeing in the Arctic," says an expert. "By restoring grasslands there, the climate can be improved -- both locally and globally."
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/08/150820082340.htm
In the Arctic, warming increases like a spiral. Global warming means that the periods of growth are becoming longer and vegetation growth is increasing. At the same time, heat transfer to the Arctic from lower latitudes is rising, reducing sea ice there, and this in turn is contributing towards a faster local rise in temperature.
New research shows the reverse effect on the Tibetan Plateau
A new research study published in the journal PNAS shows that the situation is the reverse on the Tibetan Plateau.
Vegetation on the Tibetan Plateau has also increased as a result of global warming. However, in contrast to the Arctic areas, the longer periods of growth and the increased vegetation activity here appear to mean that global warming is being weakened.
"The reason for this is that increased evapotranspiration from plants is cooling the air," explains Deliang Chen, Professor of Physical Meteorology at the University of Gothenburg.
Restoring grasslands may improve the climate
The climate models also simulate daytime cooling as a result of the increased vegetation, albeit with a smaller magnitude than currently observed.
"Our results suggest that actions to restore native grasslands in degraded areas, roughly one-third of the plateau, will both facilitate a sustainable ecological development in this region and bring local and global climate benefits."
More accurate simulations of the biophysical coupling between the land surface and the atmosphere are needed to help fully understand regional climate change over the Tibetan Plateau.

Research in China finds air pollution significantly shortened life expectancy
July, 2013
BEIJING – A
new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorter lives
in northern China. Researchers estimate that the half-billion people
alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5 1/2 years less than
their southern counterparts because they breathed dirtier air.

Nitrogen Pollution Soars in China
Nitrogen-containing pollutants from agriculture, transport and industry
in China has increased by more than half in 30 years, a study shows,
adding to concerns about the country’s deteriorating environment.
“Rapid economic growth in China has driven high levels of nitrogen
emissions in the past few decades,” says Zhang Fusuo, an agriculture
researcher at the China Agricultural University in Beijing and a
co-author of the study.
Once emitted into the air, key nitrogen pollutants — ammonia and
nitrogen oxides — can be transformed to secondary pollutants such as
ammonium and nitrates, and then washed to Earth by rain and snow. The
process, known as nitrogen deposition, can do great damage to
ecosystems, causing soil acidification, fertilizing harmful algal blooms
and threatening biodiversity, says Zhang. But until his study, “there
was little direct evidence for the magnitude of the problem in China”.

China approves massive new coal capacity despite pollution fears
* Beijing approves 15 new large coal mining projects over
year
* Total new capacity, including small mines, likely to be
higher
* Capacity to increase by 860 mln T over 2011-2015 period
BEIJING, Jan 8 (Reuters) - China approved the construction
of more than 100 million tonnes of new coal production capacity
in 2013 - six times more than a year earlier and equal to 10
percent of U.S. annual usage - flying in the face of plans to
tackle choking air pollution.
The scale of the increase, which only includes major mines,
reflects Beijing's aim to put 860 million tonnes of new coal
production capacity into operation over the five years to 2015,
more than the entire annual output of India.

First evidence that dust and sand deposits in China are controlled by rivers
- Date:
- October 14, 2013
- Source:
- University of Royal Holloway London
- Summary:
- New research has found the first evidence that large rivers control desert sands and dust in Northern China.
Northern China holds some of the world's most significant wind-blown
dust deposits, known as loess. The origin of this loess-forming dust and
its relationship to sand has previously been the subject of
considerable debate.
The team of researchers led by Royal Holloway University, analysed
individual grains of fine wind-blown dust deposited in the Chinese Loess
Plateau that has formed thick deposits over the past 2.5 million years.
As part of this, they also analysed the Mu Us desert in Inner Mongolia
and the Yellow River, one of the world's longest rivers, to identify
links between the dust deposits and nearby deserts and rivers.
The results showed that the Yellow River transports large quantities
of sediment from northern Tibet to the Mu Us desert and further suggests
that the river contributes a significant volume of material to the
Loess Plateau.

The aims of this paper were to quantify the heavy metal concentrations
in street dust of small towns in Shanghai suburban area compared with
those in urban area, and examine their seasonal and spatial variations,
and to assess their risks to water environment and local populations.
Street dust samples were collected from three small towns and urban area
in Shanghai in different seasons. Levels of heavy metals were
determined by atomic adsorption spectrophotometer analyzer. The method
of potential ecological risk index and the health risk assessment model
were used to evaluate the potential risks to water bodies and local
residents, respectively. The mean metal concentrations in street dust of
small towns were far above soil background values but still lower than
those in the urban area. No significant seasonal change was observed
except for Cr, Ni, and Zn concentrations. Higher metal concentrations
tended to be located in central area of towns and township roads. The
integrated metal contamination was high and posed a strong potential
ecological risk. Children had greater health risk than adults. The
carcinogenic risk probabilities were under the acceptable level. The
hazard index values to children were close to the safe level. Street
dust from the studied area has been contaminated by heavy metals. The
contamination of these elements is related more to the pollution source
than seasonal change. The combination of the six metals may threaten the
water environment and has non-cancer health risk to children, but not
to adults.

Spatial
distribution and health risk assessment of toxic metals associated with
receptor population density in street dust: a case study of Xiandao
District, Changsha, Middle China.
2015-05-01
Spatial characteristics of the properties (dust organic material and pH), concentrations, and enrichment levels of toxic metals (Ni, Hg, Mn and As) in street dust
from Xiandao District (Middle China) were investigated. Method of
incorporating receptor population density into noncarcinogenic health
risk assessment based on local land use map and
geostatistics was developed to identify their priority
pollutants/regions of concern. Mean enrichment factors of studied metals
decreased in the order of Hg ? As > Mn > Ni. For noncarcinogenic
effects, the exposure pathway which resulted in the highest levels of
exposure risk for children and adults was ingestion except Hg
(inhalation of vapors), followed by dermal contact and inhalation.
Hazard indexes (HIs) for As, Hg, Mn, and Ni to children and adults
revealed the following order: As > Hg > Mn > Ni. Mean HI for As
exceeded safe level (1) for children, and the maximum HI (0.99) for Hg
was most approached the safe level. Priority regions of concern were
indentified in A region at each residential population density and the
areas of B at high and moderate residential population density for As
and the high residential density area within A region for Hg,
respectively. The developed method was proved useful due to its
improvement on previous study for making the priority areas of
environmental management spatially hierarchical and thus reducing the
probability of excessive environmental management.

'Choking Smog' Shuts Down Huge Chinese City
Oct 21, 2013
The northeastern Chinese city of Harbin, population 11 million, has virtually shut down today thanks to air pollution; the smog is so heavy in places that you can't see beyond about 30 feet. It's this bad: "We were all late for class today because we couldn't find the academic building," noted a microblog user. The pollution is measured using an index that tracks fine particles in the air: Readings of 300 are considered dangerous, and the WHO puts a healthy daily level at 20 or below—so it's no surprise that Harbin, where the figure hit 1,000 in some sections, has closed schools, bus routes, and its airport, Reuters reports.

China used cloud seeding to trigger rainfall that would clear up air pollution in Beijing ahead of a major political event in July — the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, the South China Morning Post reported.
According to the news outlet, scientists at Tsinghua University said the government laced clouds with chemicals to bring on rainfall over suburban Beijing and some neighboring areas hours before the July 1 centenary event.
In a research paper, the scientists estimated the artificial rain reduced the level of the air pollutant by more than two-thirds, and improved air quality from "moderate" to "good" under the World Health Organization standards, the news outlet reported...

Sex-dependent accumulation and maternal transfer of Dechlorane Plus flame retardant in fish from an electronic waste recycling site in South China.
Knowledge is limited on sex-related accumulation and maternal transfer
of Dechlorane Plus (DP) flame retardant in wildlife. In the present
study, DP isomers were examined in liver and eggs of two fish species,
northern snakehead and crucian carp, from an electronic waste recycling
site in China. Hepatic ∑DP (sum of syn- and anti-DP) concentrations
ranged 260-1920 ng/g lipid in northern snakehead and 340-1670 ng/g in
crucian carp, with significantly higher levels in males relative to
females. ∑DP concentrations ranged 4.6-310 ng/g lipid in the eggs,
demonstrating their maternal transfer in the female fish. The mean eggs
to liver concentration ratios (E/L ratios) were 0.03 and 0.03 in
northern snakehead, and 0.26 and 0.25 in crucian carp, for syn- and
anti-DP, respectively. A significantly negative correlation between the
E/L ratios and the hepatic DP concentrations was observed, indicating a
dose-dependent maternal transfer of DP isomers in the fish.

Persistent organic pollutants in typical lake ecosystems
September 2019
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333565562_Persistent_organic_pollutants_in_typical_lake_ecosystems
Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are highly toxic organic chemicals. Lakes are one of the main sinks of POPs. POPs can be accumulated in multiple matrices in lake ecosystems and biomagnified through the food web, and thus pose a potential threat not only to lake ecosystems, but also to human health. Given their potential persistent risks, they have received much attention over the past decades. This review comprehensively summarizes the data on the levels and distributions of POPs in selected typical lake ecosystems in China and worldwide, involving water, sediments, organisms, and surrounding soils and atmosphere. It was found that current publications on POPs in Chinese lakes are mainly related to lakes in the developed eastern plain area, with only a few studies concerning the less-developed Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area. Similarly, around the world, there are more research on POPs in developed countries and less in relatively less-developed areas. Moreover, there are significant differences in the levels of POPs in different matrices in different lake ecosystems. Legacy POPs, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), were commonly detected and reported in different lakes, while emerging POPs like perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and hexabromocyclododecane (HCBD) were relatively less detected or reported. A comprehensive summarization on the levels and distributions of traditional and emerging POPs in lake ecosystems could be significant for further understanding the behaviors and risks of POPs in lake ecosystems.

The Problems of Deforestation in Asia
China’s disappearing forests
Only 2% of China’s forests remain intact, and only 0.1 percent of
these surviving forests are properly protected. The rest are threatened
by plantations: in Hainan and Yunnan, for example, indigenous trees are
felled to make way for fast-growing eucalyptus plantations, which are
used to make paper pulp.
Unfortunately – though they both contain trees – plantations and
ancient forests are not the same in terms of ecology. Ancient forests
are crucial to biodiversity and provide habitats for many native species
of animals and plants. They also store millennia-worth of carbon, which
is released as carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) when the trees are
logged.

China faces up to groundwater crisis
13 July 2010
https://www.nature.com/articles/466308a
A crisis is developing beneath China's thirsty farms and cities, but no one knows its full extent. With about 20% of the world's population but only about 5–7% of global freshwater resources, China draws heavily on groundwater. Those reserves are being depleted at an alarming rate in some regions and are badly polluted in many others, warned experts last week at the International Groundwater Forum 2010 conference in Beijing.
The scientists also warned that confronting the crisis will require dealing with other shortages: of knowledge and regulation. They say that a nationwide network to monitor groundwater levels is urgently needed, and that the government should improve data sharing, cut water waste and help farming become more efficient. "The water crisis is not unique to China," says Frank Schwartz, a hydrologist at Ohio State University in Columbus, who was at the meeting. "But the problem here is orders of magnitude bigger than anywhere else."
Groundwater is used to irrigate more than 40% of China's farmland, and for about 70% of the drinking water in the dry northern and northwestern regions. According to Opportunities and Challenges in the Chinese Groundwater Science, a 2009 report sponsored by China's National Natural Science Foundation and China Geological Survey (CGS), part of the Ministry of Land and Resources (MOLR), the past few decades have seen groundwater extraction increasing by about 2.5 billion cubic metres per year to meet these needs. Consequently, groundwater levels of the arid North China Plain have dropped as fast as 1 metre a year between 1974 and 2000, forcing people to dig hundreds of metres to access fresh water, according to research presented by Bridget Scanlon, a hydrogeologist at the University of Texas at Austin.
Already, water is scarce for two-thirds of China's 660 cities, according to a survey by the Ministry of Water Resources (MOWR). And as China's economy expands, so will its demand for water. The country will consume 750 billion cubic metres of water a year by 2030, about 90% of the total amount of usable water resources in the country, projects the MOWR.
Pollution is also putting the system under pressure. In southern and southeastern China, which have seen rapid economic development, groundwater is now laden with heavy metals and other pollutants. A CGS survey presented at the conference shows that 90% of groundwater is polluted, 60% of it seriously so.
The government hopes that a massive system of canals and pipes, to funnel 45 billion cubic metres of water a year from China's moist south to its arid north, will alleviate groundwater depletion once it is completed in 2050. The government also plans to reduce groundwater use in Tianjin municipality, Beijing and Hebei province to 65% of current levels by 2023, says Li Guomin, a hydrogeologist at the Chinese Academy of Science's Institute of Geology and Geophysics in Beijing. Li and his colleagues presented a simulation of the effect of this policy and say that it could boost groundwater levels. But the team assumed that groundwater use will not increase as more surface water becomes available, an assumption that was debated at the meeting. "As new resources become available, people will just use it more," argues Schwartz...

China’s eco-crisis: 60% of underground water polluted
23 Apr, 2014
At least 60 percent of China’s underground water resources have “very poor” or “relatively poor” quality, which means these water can’t be used for drinking directly, says a new report, showing a deep environmental crisis in the country.
China’s Ministry of Land and Resources has been monitoring at least 4,778 areas in 203 Chinese cities in 2013, the official Xinhua news agency said. According an annual report unveiled by the ministry, in at least 43.9 percent of the monitored sites the underground water was ranked as “relatively poor” and in 15.7 percent of cases as “very poor.” This means that about 59.6 percent of underground water can’t be used directly for drinking.
The recent results show a decrease in the amount of drinkable underground water in China by 2 percent compared to 57.4 percent in 2012.

China’s desertification is causing trouble across Asia
May 16, 2016
Creeping desertification in China is swallowing thousands of square kilometres of productive soil every year. It’s a challenge of gigantic and unprecedented proportions.
The rate of desertification increased throughout the second half of last century and, although this trend has since stabilised, the situation remains very serious.
More than a quarter of the entire country is now degraded or turning to desert, thanks to “overgrazing by livestock, over cultivation, excessive water use, or changes in climate”. The Gobi desert alone gobbles up 3,600km2 of grassland each year. China’s own State Forestry Administration has identified land desertification as the country’s most important ecological problem, and climate change will only make things worse...

Sandstorm engulfs desert city in China
July 27, 2021
A wall of sand over 100 metres high swallowed a city on the fringes of the Gobi desert in northwestern China, in scenes reminiscent of a disaster film.
Dunhuang, a tourist draw with a colourful history as a Silk Road outpost, momentarily disappeared in the dust clouds as the storm hit on Sunday.
A resident surnamed Zhang told local media Jimu News that the sandstorm came abruptly and swept through the city in five or six minutes.
"I couldn't see the sun," he said, adding that the city in Gansu province had not experienced such a sandstorm in several years.
"At first I was enveloped in the sandstorm's yellow dust, then it turned red and finally black."
Dunhuang is home to several major tourist attractions including the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site with ancient Buddhist carvings and striking desert landforms.
Sandstorms are common in the region each spring but rare in the summer, according to state-run news agency China News Service.

Asia’s lifeblood
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, extends an impressive 2.5 million km2 constituting what is euphemistically known as the roof of the world. Often referred to as the Third Pole, the Plateau is home to the largest freshwater reserves outside the north and south poles. It is also the source of some of Asia’s main river arteries, which from west to east include the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Salween, Mekong, Yellow and Yangtze.
With the exception of the Yellow and Yangtse, these rivers are transboundary1, in some instances, such as the Mekong, crossing several countries as they descend from the Plateau eventually discharging into the Bay of Bengal, Andaman and South China Seas. In combination, they are a major source of fresh water for the following countries: Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Unreported Fishing Catches by Chinese Boats in Africa
Between 2001 and 2011, Chinese fishing boats caught an estimated 3.1 million tonnes of fish off the coast of Africa. 80 percent of the catch was unreported and fell under the illegal fishing framework.
The catch from Africa makes up most of the 4.6 million tons of fish that were caught by Chinese vessels between the time period. During the ten year span, the value of the fish was worth $12 Billion.
In addition to Africa, boats from China are active in the waters off South Korea. 4,605 cases of illegal fishing by Chinese boats have been recorded by South Korean security services between 2003 and 2013.

Pollution Clears to Reveal a Beautiful Beijing

But Beijing wanted to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the day Japan officially surrendered during World War II with a big statement. Their decision to ban the cars was not to let traffic through, but specifically to clear the air for the event.
For two weeks, not only were cars banned, but factories were shut down as well.
With the air quality at a healthy 17 ppm out of a possible 500 ppm, citizens of the city enjoyed the outdoors for the parade before the smog was back on Friday.
Pollution is a hot topic in Beijing right now, and the government appears to be committed to reducing emissions for the health of both its citizens and the environment, even though the country has a reputation for prioritizing manufacturing and economic health over environmental.

In China, levels of nitrogen dioxide rose sharply over some cities and dropped over others. Cities in the North Central Plain saw the biggest increases; meanwhile, nitrogen dioxide was down in Shanghai (30 percent), Hong Kong (28 percent), Quangzhou (43 percent), and even Beijing (10 percent) due to environmental regulations. Beijing’s 10 percent decrease is particularly remarkable given the extent of urbanization that has occurred in recent years, note Duncan and his coauthors.
Meanwhile, rising levels of nitrogen dioxide were observed in many cities in India. Chennai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata all saw increases of 20 percent or more. In Pakistan, levels of the pollutant went up 52 percent in Lahore and 46 percent in Islamabad. In Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, NO2 increased by 79 percent, more than any other city in the world.

Concentration and characterization of dissolved organic matter in the surface microlayer and subsurface water of the Bohai Sea, China
January 2013
A total of 19 sea-surface microlayer and
corresponding subsurface samples collected from the Bohai Sea, China in
April 2010 were analyzed for chlorophyll a, dissolved organic carbon
(DOC) and its major compound classes including total dissolved
carbohydrates (TDCHO, including monosaccharides, MCHO, and
polysaccharides, PCHO) and total hydrolysable amino acids (THAA,
including dissolved free, DFAA, and combined fraction, DCAA). The
concentrations of DOC in the subsurface water ranged from 130.2 to 407.7
μM C, with an average of 225.9±75.4 μM C, while those in the surface
microlayer varied between 140.1 and 330.9 μM C, with an average of
217.8±56.8 μM C. The concentrations of chlorophyll a, DOC, TDCHO and
THAA in the microlayer were, respectively correlated with their
subsurface water concentrations, implying that there was a strong
exchange effect between the microlayer and subsurface water. The
concentrations of DOC and TDCHO were negatively correlated with
salinity, respectively, indicating that water mixing might play an
important role in controlling the distribution of DOC and TDCHO in the
water column. Major constituents of DCAA and DFAA present in the study
area were glycine, alanine, glutamic acid, serine and histidine.
Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to examine the complex
compositional differences that existed among the sampling sites. Our
results showed that DFAA had higher mole percentages of glycine, valine
and serine in the microlayer than in the subsurface water, while DCAA
tended to have higher mole percentages of glutamic acid, aspartic acid,
threonine, arginine, alanine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and leucine in the
microlayer. The yields of TDCHO and THAA exhibited similar trends
between the microlayer and subsurface water. Carbohydrate species
displayed significant enrichment in the microlayer, whereas the DFAA and
DCAA exhibited non-uniform enrichment in the microlayer.

Temperature and nutrients are significant drivers of seasonal shift in phytoplankton community from a drinking water reservoir, subtropical China.
2014
Reservoirs are an important source of water supply in many densely populated areas in southeast China. Phytoplankton plays an important role in maintaining the structure and function of these reservoir ecosystems. Understanding of seasonal succession in phytoplankton communities and its driving factors is essential for effective water quality management in drinking-water reservoirs. In this study, water samples were collected monthly at the surface layers of riverine, transitional, and lacustrine zones from May 2010 to April 2011 in Tingxi Reservoir, southeast China. The phytoplankton showed distinct seasonal shifts in community structure at both taxonomic and functional levels. Cyanophyta was the dominant group in summer, especially species of Raphidiopsis in May and Aphanizomenon in June, and cyanobacterial dominance was promoted by both warmer conditions and excessive nutrients loading. Cyanophyta was gradually replaced by Cryptophyta (e.g., Chroomonas caudata) in abundance and by Bacillariophyta (Fragilaria sp. or Synedra sp. and Melosira sp.) in biomass with decreasing temperature. It appeared that seasonal shifts in phytoplankton composition were closely related to climate, nutrient status, and hydrology in this reservoir. Our partial RDA results clearly showed that water temperature and nutrients (TN and TP) were the most critical factors driving phytoplankton community shift in the abundance and biomass data, respectively. Further, with the global warming, cyanobacterial blooms may increase in distribution, duration, and intensity. In our study, the abundance and biomass of cyanobacteria had significant and positive correlations with temperature and phosphorus. Therefore, a stricter limit on nutrient input should be a priority in watershed management to protect drinking water from the effects of cyanobacterial blooms, especially in high-temperature period.

River In China Mysteriously Turns Bloody Red Overnight
July 25, 2014
Local environmental bureau is investigating the bizarre situation.
A waterway in eastern China has mysteriously turned a blood red color.
Residents in Zhejiang province said the river looked normal at 5 a.m. Beijing time on Thursday morning. Within an hour, the entire river turned crimson. Residents also said a strange smell wafted through the air.
“The really weird thing is that we have been able to catch fish because the water is normally so clear,” one local villager commented on China’s microblogging site Weibo.

China’s cleaner-air plan puts water supplies at risk:
25 October 2013
China’s plans to develop coal-to-gas plants as part of efforts to
reduce air pollution may pose a threat to water supplies in arid
regions, according to a research group involved in climate and energy
issues.
“Most of the plants are planned to be built in the west
including Inner Mongolia, where China has its main coal production,” Wen
Hua, a Beijing-based analyst at the World Resources Institute, said
yesterday. The region is “more water-stressed,” and converting coal to
gas is a water-intensive process, Wen said by phone.
A spike in pollution that pushed the air quality to “hazardous” levels
caused the northeastern city of Harbin to shut schools and grounded
flights on Oct. 22. Seven of the 10 Chinese cities with the worst smog
in the third quarter were in the Hebei area that surrounds Beijing.

production, according to a new study.

Obama Signs Unconstitutional TPA as CFR Looks to Bring China into TPP

Next up is the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty. However, as William F. Jasper points out, now that Obama has gotten what he wanted from the Republicans, he's dropping the pretense about what he will do with that authority and now his handlers at the Council on Foreign Relations are looking to bring China into TPP.
Now that Congress has passed Trade Promotion Authority/Fast Track, the Council on Foreign Relations is taking the lead in calling for China to be included in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). This represents a key reversal of the deliberately deceptive public message put out by the Obama administration and the TPP lobby over the past couple of years, to wit, that a TPP is absolutely essential to averting Communist China's economic hegemony, in the Pacific and globally.______________________________________________
The Los Angeles Times, which has offered unstinting support for the TPP, in a March 4, 2015 article entitled "China is Obama's trump card in push for Pacific Rim trade pact," noted the Obama White House strategy of presenting China's economic ascendance as a primary reason for approving the TPP. "President Obama is hoping to win passage of a Pacific Rim trade pact by playing on fears of China," ran the story's subtitle.
"As the White House looks to wrap up years of negotiations on a highly contested Pacific Rim trade pact," wrote the Times' Don Lee, "administration officials are increasingly casting the agreement as vital to helping the U.S. face its most daunting economic rival: China."
"The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, would be the largest trade deal in American history, involving the U.S., Japan and 10 other countries that combined make up 40% of the world economy," the Times story continued. "China isn't among them. In recent weeks, one Obama official after another has hammered away at the same line of argument: It's crucial that Congress supports the TPP — including passing a related trade-promotion bill that would strengthen the president's negotiating hand — because the alternative is that China, not the U.S., will write the rules of global trade."
But, with TPA/Fast Track approved, the ObamaTrade lobby is dropping some of the pretense. As The New American has pointed out many times over the past few years (see here, here, and here), the architects of the TPP — especially the world government activists of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) — have long been on record in favor of the TPP as merely a "stepping stone" to a much larger Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP) that would include China as a member. The anti-Beijing rhetoric is purely a ruse to lure support from conservatives concerned over China's stepped-up militancy, as well as domestic manufacturers and labor unions worried about loss of more manufacturing business and jobs to the Beijing behemoth.

Blood and money: Rio Tinto's $5 million Kissinger of death for Stern Hu
The squalid pact signed in blood and money between mining and political behemoths Rio Tinto and Henry Kissinger will surprise no-one given the destructive conjunction of their parallel lives upon humanity and the environment. This week, Rio Tinto appears before the Senate Inquiry into Corporate Tax Avoidance. In the first part of this speaking truth to power investigation for IA, Contributing editor-at-large Tess Lawrence exhumes some of the corpses buried in the tailings swill of history that Kissinger, Rio Tinto and their collaborators would prefer stay buried.

The Countries Polluting The Oceans The Most
Feb 12, 2020
https://www.statista.com/chart/12211/the-countries-polluting-the-oceans-the-most/
A team of researchers in the United States and Australia led by Jenna Jambeck, an environmental engineer at the University of Georgia, analyzed plastic waste levels in the world's oceans. They found that China and Indonesia are the top sources of plastic bottles, bags and other rubbish clogging up global sea lanes. Together, both nations account for more than a third of plastic detritus in global waters, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The original source data can be found here.
In 2010, 8.8 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from China with an estimated 3.53 million metric tons of it ending up in the ocean. A total of 3.2 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from Indonesia and it is estimated that 1.29 million metric tons became plastic marine debris. The United States is also guilty of polluting oceans with plastic, but at a much lower level than China. Annually, 0.11 million metric tons of waterborne plastic garbage comes from the United States.

As Economy Falters, Military Parade Offers Chance to Burnish China’s Image
______________________________________________
China holds massive military parade, to cut troop levels by 300,000
President Xi Jinping announced on Thursday he would cut troop levels by 300,000 as China held its biggest display of military might in a parade to commemorate victory over Japan in World War Two, an event shunned by most Western leaders.
China's confidence in its armed forces and growing military assertiveness, especially in the disputed South China Sea, has rattled the region and drawn criticism from Washington.
Xi, speaking on a rostrum overlooking Beijing's Tiananmen Square before the parade began, said China would cut by 13 percent one of the world's biggest militaries, currently 2.3-million strong.
He
gave no time frame for a reduction that is likely part of long-mooted
military reforms. Troop numbers have been cut three times before since
the 1980s as part of China's efforts to modernize its armed forces.
"Prejudice and discrimination, hatred and war can only cause disaster and pain," Xi said. "China will always uphold the path of peaceful development."
He
then descended to Beijing's main thoroughfare and inspected rows of
troops, riding past them in a black limousine and bellowing repeatedly:
"Hello comrades, hard-working comrades!"
More than 12,000 soldiers, mostly Chinese but with contingents from Russia and elsewhere, then began marching down Changan Avenue, led by veterans of World War Two carried in vehicles.
They
were followed by ballistic missiles, tanks and armored vehicles, many
never seen in public before. Advanced fighter jets and bombers flew
overhead in a highly-choreographed spectacle that lasted around 90
minutes.
Among the weapons China
unveiled for the first time was an anti-ship ballistic missile, the
Dongfeng-21D, which is reportedly capable of destroying an aircraft
carrier with one hit.
Also
shown were several intercontinental ballistic missiles such as the
DF-5B and the DF-31A as well as the DF-26 intermediate range ballistic
missile (IRBM), dubbed the "Guam killer" in reference to a U.S. Pacific
Ocean base.
For Xi, the
parade is a welcome distraction from the country's plunging stock
markets, slowing economy and recent blasts at a chemical warehouse that
killed at least 160 people.
Xi was joined by Russian President Vladimir Putin and leaders of several other nations with close ties to China, including Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court.
Most Western leaders rebuffed invitations to attend, diplomats said, unhappy about the guest list and wary of the message China would send with the show of strength.
LOOK TO FUTURE, JAPAN SAYS
Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did not attend the parade, which was held one
day after the 70th anniversary of Tokyo's surrender in World War Two.
"I would like China
to show its future-oriented attitude to work on common issues which
international society is facing, not focus excessively on the past
unfortunate history," Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga
told a news conference in Tokyo.
China's government repeatedly said the parade was not aimed at today's Japan,
but to remember the past and to remind the world of China's huge
sacrifices during the conflict. However, it rarely misses an opportunity
to draw attention to Japan's wartime role.
On Wednesday, Xi said Japanese invaders before and during World War Two behaved with barbarity.
"As for the claim that China intends the event as a saber-rattling occasion to instill fear, it is nothing but nonsense since China has always insisted on resolving disputes via peaceful means," state news agency Xinhua said in a commentary.
CHINESE NAVY IN BERING SEA
Xi has set
great store on China's military modernization, including developing an
ocean-going "blue water" navy capable of defending the country's growing
global interests.
In a
sign of that emerging capability, five Chinese Navy ships are sailing in
international waters in the Bering Sea off Alaska, the Pentagon said on
Wednesday, at a time when U.S. President Barack Obama is touring the
state.
Pentagon spokesman
Captain Jeff Davis said it was the first time the United States had seen
Chinese navy ships in the Bering Sea.
It
was not clear whether their presence was timed to coincide with Obama's
visit or if it followed a recent Chinese-Russian navy exercise. Chinese
state media has said nothing about the Bering Sea deployment.
"It
is living up to what the Chinese have been saying, 'We are now a blue
water navy. We will operate in the far seas and we are a global
presence'," said Dean Cheng, a China expert at the Heritage Foundation think-tank in Washington.
Xi
will meet Obama in Washington for talks later this month that will be
dominated by a host of thorny issues, including China's growing military
reach.
Beijing was
locked down to ensure nothing went wrong at the parade, with much of the
downtown off-limits, a three-day holiday declared and ordinary people
kept well away.
"This
parade and patriotism are two separate things," said Mi Guoxian, who had
come to Beijing for a wedding, standing on a nearly deserted street
behind a line of police.
"This is for the national leaders."

Revolution Brewing in China? | China Uncensored
May 7, 2014
When you oppress people long enough, they eventually kill you. In April,
a mob of 1000 descended on a group of 5 chengguan, China's urban
management 'police', after rumor spread they murdered a man who stood up
for a street vendor. There was not much of the chengguan left after
that except for some bloody, graphic images. For China news like you
can't get anywhere else, turn to China Uncensored. It's a laugh riot, so
bring the tear gas.
