Never mind what the U.S. government met with the Dalai Lama By Yonghe Zhang On Barack Obamas meeting with the Dalai Lama, I wrote that we need not deliberately care about this issue. Since the Dalai Lama won the Nobel Prize in 1989, began the meeting by the United States presidents. The first one is a good friend of Chinese people George Bush, after a Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Obama's meeting is a last resort to shirk its meetings. The United States , she is a kaleidoscope. With Darwin 's theory of evolution, there is also a deity of Jesus. There are to disseminate the values of democracy and freedom in the American Declaration of independence, have also studied class struggle of the Communist Manifesto . Chinese people tend to seek a requesting the same deposit the different., while Americans are requesting different deposit the same. When the Chinese people to pursue the established principle, the American people said: Let's make a difference! While Shanghai is in green Buttonwood leaves, the New York City million trees are flourishing. Economic and cultural between Sino and US harmoniously hybridized, settling down two countries in a stable orbit of the lower energy level. World's tomorrow will be brilliant sunshine. ~

Way back in 1979, in the midst of an energy crisis, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the roof of the White House. They were used to heat water for some White House staffers. Skip to next paragraph Bob Herbert Go to Columnist Page Related Times Topics: Solar Energy | China Readers' Comments Readers shared their thoughts on this article. Read All Comments (240) A generation from now, said Mr. Carter, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people, harnessing the power of the sun to enrich our lives as we move away from our crippling dependence on foreign oil. Ronald Reagan had the panels taken down. We missed the boat then, and lord knows were missing it now. Two weeks ago, as I was getting ready to take off for Palo Alto, Calif., to cover a conference on the importance of energy and infrastructure for the next American economy, The Timess Keith Bradsher was writing from Tianjin, China, about how the Chinese were sprinting past everybody else in the world, including the United States, in the race to develop clean energy. That we are allowing this to happen is beyond stupid. China is a poor country with nothing comparable to the tremendous research, industrial and economic resources that the U.S. has been blessed with. Yet theyre blowing us away at least for the moment in the race to the future. Our esteemed leaders in Washington cant figure out how to do anything more difficult than line up for a group photo. Put Americans back to work? You must be kidding. Health care? Weve been working on it for three-quarters of a century. Infrastructure? Dont ask. But, as Mr. Bradsher tells us, China vaulted past competitors in Denmark, Germany, Spain and the United States last year to become the worlds largest maker of wind turbines and is poised to expand even further this year. China also has become the worlds largest manufacturer of solar panels and is pushing hard on other clean energy advances. As Mr. Bradsher wrote: These efforts to dominate renewable energy technologies raise the prospect that the West may someday trade its dependence on oil from the Mideast for a reliance on solar panels, wind turbines and other gear manufactured in China. Were in the throes of an awful and seemingly endless employment crisis, and China is the country moving full speed ahead on the development of the worlds most important new industries. Id like one of the Washington suits to step away from the photo-op and explain the logic of that to me. The truth, of course, is that there is no reason at all for this to be happening. The United States, in many ways, is very well prepared to move ahead on clean energy. It could and should be the worlds leader. Many, if not most, of the innovations in this area were developed right here. But much of that know-how, as we are seeing in China (and have been seeing in Germany and other places), is being implemented overseas. The conference that I attended in Palo Alto spotlighted the need to move to a low-carbon economy in the U.S. and exemplified some of the resources available to make it happen. It was sponsored by the Brookings Institution and Lazard, the investment banking advisory firm. The participants included the leaders of and major investors in companies that are making great strides in the alternative energy industry. But much of their business is done overseas because right now in Americas wacky, dysfunctional public sector there is no clear vision of a viable clean-energy economy, and, thus, no clue about how to get there. The network of world-class universities and advanced research institutions in the U.S. is by far the most impressive in the world: think Harvard and Stanford and Berkeley and M.I.T. and on and on. If you add to that the venture capital community in the U.S. with its vast experience and the willingness of investors to take risks, and the sheer entrepreneurial talent of the American business community, you end up with an array of resources fully capable of moving the U.S. into a low-carbon, high-growth and extraordinarily productive economy that would be the envy of the world. But for that to happen as Bruce Katz, a Brookings executive who was one of the organizers of the conference, pointed out Americas corporate, civic and political leaders will have to articulate whats really at stake here. And whats at stake is the future of the American economy. The low-carbon era is coming. We can be dragged into that newer, greener world by leading countries like China; or we can take up the challenge and become the worlds leader ourselves.

2010-02-04 12:27:58 GMT 2010-02-04 20:27:58 (Beijing Time) China Daily A farmer smiles after a good harvest of the high-yielding super rice in Tiantai, Zhejiang province. The government is expected to approve commercial planting of genetically modified (GM) rice in three to five years as a major effort to raise food supply. Huang Dafang, a member of the Biosafety Committee at the Ministry of Agriculture, said the nation -- which faces shrinking farmland and an increasing population -- will turn to genetically modified organism technology to ensure grain security. In November, the ministry issued biosafety certificates to strains of pest-resistant GM rice and corn. The announcement has aroused debate on the Internet with several forums soliciting signatures against commercialization of GM rice with the call Saving our posterity. The strains need registration and production trials before commercial output can begin, which may take three to five years, Huang told China Daily. The issue of biosafety certificates has great implications as it is the first time a major grain producer is endorsing the use of GM technology in a food staple, said Xue Dayuan, professor of biotechnology at Minzu University of China. Xue said that he is worried about the health and environmental risks involved in the planting of GM rice although he personally does not oppose to its commercialization. The government has set a target of increasing grain output by 50 million tons between 2009 and 2020. The current annual average production is 60 million tons. Once GM technology is used for mass production, it would definitely help China achieve that target and feed its 1.3 billion people, said Huang, also a researcher with the Biotechnology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The use of GM technology is an inevitable trend for the global agriculture industry, including in China, he stressed, adding that it has been scientifically proven that the approved GM strains are as safe as non-genetically modified varieties. Currently, 10 percent of the non-genetically modified rice output is lost annually to pests, and that means the loss can be avoided with wide use of the technology, he noted. The two GM rice strains, developed by Huazhong Agricultural University, would help reduce the use of pesticide by 80 percent while raising yields by as much as 8 percent, said Huang Jikun, chief scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The ministry granted safety certificates to other GM crops cotton in 1998 and tomato and pepper in 1999. The United States is also a major developer of GM crops and most of the country's soybean and cotton are from GM strains. But a rice strain which has been given approval for cultivation has not yet seen widespread use. But given the controversy over the safety of GM food for a long time, such crops are not accepted in most countries worldwide, said Fang Lifeng, spokesman for Greenpeace Chinas GM program. A 2007 survey by the organization found that 65 percent of the 2,000 people polled in the country said they would not choose GM food over safety concerns. We firmly oppose the technology being put into mass production and commercialization in a rush, Fang said. To ensure food supply, we have other options with no potential health risks like biological agriculture, he noted. The stamp of approval might have been premature, said Professor Jiang Gaoming, at Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Botany. GM corn sold by Monsanto, the US-based agriculture company, causes organ damage in rats, mostly in the liver and kidney, according to a paper by three French scientists published in the International Journal of Biological Sciences.
On Dec 19, 2009, editors at Acta Crystallographica Section E alerted the scientific community to a disgraceful pattern of fraud involving papers they had published in 2007. At least 70 false crystal structures were reportedmainly from two groups led by Hua Zhong and Tao Liu, both at Jinggangshan University, Jian, China. All authors have now agreed to retraction of 41 papers published by Zhong and 29 by Liu. It is rather surprising that wrongdoing on such a scale evaded detection during peer review and, considering that crystal structures are deposited in public databases upon publication, that the truth has been uncovered so slowly. In China, the government controls almost all funding for research. As in other countries, to gain funding researchers need to publish as many papers in high impact journals as possible. According to Science Citation Index and other resources, Chinese authors published 271000 papers in 2008 , roughly 115% of the world's total. This incident is not the first time that scientific fraud has occurred in China. Regulations to monitor state-funded research projects were announced in 2006 by the Ministry of Science and Technology in response to six high-profile cases of scientific misconduct. A new circular was issued on March 19, 2009, aimed at preventing misconduct in higher education institutionspunishment for breaching the new rules could involve warnings, dismissal, or legal action. Research programmes could be suspended or terminated, funding could be withdrawn, or awards and honours revoked. Such extensive fraud is disappointingnot only does it indicate a substantial waste of research time and money, but it is likely that, whatever punishments do result, damage to the reputations of the researchers, institutions, and journal concerned is likely to be disproportionately great. Clearly, China's Government needs to take this episode as a cue to reinvigorate standards for teaching research ethics and for the conduct of research itself, as well as establishing robust and transparent procedures for handling allegations of scientific misconduct to prevent further instances of fraud. For Hu Jintao's goal of China becoming a research superpower by 2020 to be credible, China must assume stronger leadership in scientific integrity.

Google in China Nature survey Dear xu peiyang, Nature magazine is conducting a survey of Chinese scientists to assess how much they have come to rely on Google for their work. Recent news stories highlight the fact that Google may pull out of China if it is not allowed to provide uncensored search results in the country. Since you are a prominent scientist working in China, Nature would like to know what impact losing access to Google and its related products would have on your research. The survey is completely anonymous, and includes ten questions designed to find out what field you work in, and how you use Google and/or other search engines. Please click on this link to fill out the online survey. It should take no more than two minutes, but could help to provide the scientific community with vital information about how online search engines have become a key tool in research in China. The survey is hosted by an online survey website called Survey Monkey, which is a legitimate website. To take the survey, please go to: http://www.surveymk.com/s/RV3ZMLB The results of the survey will be analysed by Nature staff, and will hopefully be used in a forthcoming article. If you have already received an invitation to complete this survey, we thank you for your participation and request that you ignore this email. Many thanks for your assistance!

http://www.ucsusa.org/assets/documents/nwgs/slr_in_china.pdf Satellite Laser Ranging in China Yousaf Butt Union of Concerned Scientists, Cambridge, MA, USA January 8, 2007 ABSTRACT Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) is a widely used technique for determining the orbits of objects in space with high accuracy. There are seven known SLR stations in China, two of which are mobile. These stations are part of a scientific collaboration called the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) based at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The typical average laser power used in the Chinese SLR stations is below about 1 Watt (W), although experimental systems of roughly 40W have also been used to characterize objects such as space debris. Most of the ranging takes place at night although some capability for more technically challenging daytime SLR reportedly exists at two of the fixed stations. In this paper, we consider laser ranging to an earth-observing imaging satellite and what effect that might have on the satellite. We show that under a broad set of conditions such ranging would not adversely affect the satellites sensitive detector, but that cases exist in which the effects can be significant, although the probability of damaging the detector is extremely low. We find that SLR cannot be considered an anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon and, in fact, would be ineffective in this role. Nonetheless, the possibility of laser ranging to ground-imaging satellites without authorization, resulting in unexpected detector performance, is motivation for converging on a set of international rules governing it use. Yousaf Butt is a postdoctoral science fellow in the Union of Concerned Scientists Global Security Program. He is also on staff at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where he worked on the Chandra X-ray Observatory from 1999-2004. He holds a PhD in experimental nuclear astrophysics from Yale University.

May '08 China Quake Could Hasten Other Big Shocks Scientists Say Nearby Faults Now Twice as Likely to Produce Strong Quakes WASHINGTONResearchers analyzing the May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China's Sichuan province have found that geological stress has significantly increased on three major fault systems in the region. The magnitude 7.9 quake on 12 May has brought several nearby faults closer to failure and could trigger another major earthquake in the region. Geophysicists used computer models to calculate the changes in stress along the Xianshuihe, Kunlun, and Min Jiang faults, which lie about 150 to 450 kilometers (90 to 280 miles) from the Longmen Shan rupture that caused the devastating quake. The research team also examined seismic activity in the region over the past decade. The scientists found that the 12 May event has doubled the probabilities of future earthquakes on these fault lines. Specifically, they estimated the probability of another earthquake of magnitude 6 or greater in the region is 57 to 71 percent over the next decade. There is an 8 to 12 percent chance of a quake larger than magnitude 7 in the next decade and 23-31 percent in the next 30 years. The research team reported its findings on 9 September in Geophysical Research Letters , a journal of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). One great earthquake seems to make the next one more likely, not less, says Ross S. Stein of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park, California, a member of the team led by Shinji Toda of the Geological Survey of Japan, in Tsukuba. We tend to think of earthquakes as relieving stress on a fault. That may be true for the one that ruptured, but not for the adjacent faults, Ross adds. In 1999, a magnitude 7.4 (M7.4) earthquake in Izmit, Turkey, was followed four months later by an M7.1 event in nearby Duzce. The devastating December 2004 Sumatra earthquake (M 9.2) and tsunami were followed by an M8.7 quake three months later. Because the Tibetan Plateau is one of the most seismically active regions in the world, we believe there is credible evidence for a new major quake in this region, says Jian Lin of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), who is also on the team. The research community cannot forecast the timing of earthquakes, and there are still significant uncertainties in our models. But the Turkey and Sumatra events indicate that one major earthquake can indeed promote another. Researchers see it as a domino-like effect, where the movement of one piece of Earth's crust means that another piece must move up, down, or away. While the stress in the crust gets reduced in some locations, it is transferred to other faults nearby. Large aftershocks that occurred on 1 August and 5 August in the Sichuan region of China may fit with this predicted pattern. Earthquake prediction is a bit like the thundercloud and lightning, Toda explains. We can forecast that lightning will come from a thundercloud, but we cannot predict the exact time and place where the lightning will hit. With earthquakes, we can roughly forecast the probability of activity over broad ranges of time, magnitude, and location, but we cannot determine the exact value for any of these. On 12 May 2008, about 300 kilometers (190 miles) of the Longmen Shan fault zone ruptured in an earthquake that killed at least 69,000 people and left another 5 million homeless. It was the deadliest and strongest earthquake to hit China since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, which killed at least 240,000. As pieces of the Longman Shan fault slipped by as much as nine meters (28 feet) in the May quake, stress increased along the neighboring Xianshuihe, Kunlun, and Min Jiang faults, according to Toda and colleagues. All three faults have a history of large quakes, though portions of each have been quiet for most of the past century. All three faults were considered to be primed for an earthquake even before the recent events. In addition to the broad prediction of earthquake triggering, the researchers have also forecasted the rate and distribution of seismic shocks greater than magnitude 6, a prediction that they plan to test from seismic stations over the next decade. Our paper predicts the change in the rate of small earthquakes for the faults in the region, and now we can test that prediction, says Stein. If the rate of shocks increases on the adjacent faults, then we can confirm at least part of our hypothesis that large shocks are also more likely. It may take time, but it is a testable hypothesis. In western China, the intrusion of the Indian sub-continent pushes the Tibetan Plateau up and over the older Sichuan Basin and other parts of the Eurasian continent. An estimated 33 percent of world's continental earthquakes occur in China, even though it only occupies 7 percent of the planet's land mass. Nearly 55 percent of all human loss to earthquakes occurs in China. Earthquakes do not kill people, buildings do, says Lin, who was a high school student in China when the devastating Tangshan earthquake struck. There needs to be widespread education in earthquake preparedness, as well as systematic inspection of buildings in these regions of heightened risk. Every new building inspection and evacuation plan could potentially save lives. We hope the long-term forecasting allows the Chinese government to make it a priority to mitigate future damage, Toda adds. We recommend that Chinese scientists carefully observe changes in seismicity by installing new seismometers in the region. Mustapha Meghraoui of the Institute of Geophysics in Strasbourg, France also collaborated on the research. Lin, Toda, and Stein were preparing to teach an earthquake modeling course to Meghraoui's students and colleagues in France when the 12 May earthquake occurred. The researchers immediately went into action, working with an international group of scientists to analyze the new stresses on the system. An early version of the manuscript by Toda et al. was circulated to several dozen Chinese scientists and government officials as they sought to assess the risk of aftershocks in the weeks after the earthquake. Chinese government organizations and scientists are now examining the paper in detail, the researchers say.

印度的许海峰 The First Individual Olympic Champion of India In 1984, Xu Haifeng shot down the first gold of Los Angeles Olympic Games. It was also China's first Olympic gold medal. Since then China has gradually become one of the top countries in sports. We not only perform well in table tennis, badminton and gymnastics, but also make great progress in tennis, basketball and track-and-field. Xu is our hero, to start a brilliant new page for Chinese olympic history. 24 years later, the similar scene re-acted. The shooter Abhinav Bindra won India's first individual Olympic gold. Just like China, the neighbouring India also has a long history of civilization and a large number of people. The two countries both are important developing countries. Thus, I believe that India will win more and more golds. Cheers for the heros！ 1984年，许海峰射得了洛杉矶奥运会的首金，这也是中国的第一块奥运金牌。从那以后，中国逐渐成了体育运动的强国。我们不仅在乒乓球、羽毛球和体操上表现出色，而且在网球、篮球和田径上也有长足进步。许海峰是我们的英雄，掀开了中国奥运历史上崭新的一页。 24年后，相似的一幕再次重演。射击运动员阿比纳夫宾德拉赢得了印度第一枚个人项目的奥运金牌。和中国一样，印度邻居拥有悠久的文明史，也是人口大国。两个国家都是重要的发展中国家。因此，我相信印度会赢得越来越多的金牌。 为英雄们喝彩吧！
