China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline to complete

Chinanews, Sept 5 - Construction of China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline --
China's first transnational oil pipeline -- has entered the final stage.
Under the premise of ensuring quality of construction, builders of both
China and Kazakhstan are now working with good spirits day and night and
striving to complete construction of the third section of the pipeline
which is about 1,000 kilometers long by December 16th.
In 1997 China and Kazakhstan jointly put forward the plan of constructing
a cross-border oil pipeline from Atyrau by the Caspian in Kazakhstan to
Alataw Pass in northwest Xinjiang. The pipeline is over 3,000 kilometers
long with an investment of about US$2.5 billion to US$3 billion. The
pipeline consists of three sections, the first from Atyrau to Kenkiyak,
the second from Kenkiyak to Atasu and the third from Atasu to Alataw Pass
in Xinjiang.

Chinese "self expression" on the rise

www.chinanews.cn 2005-10-26 08:58:00

Chinanews, Oct. 25 - China's traditional heritage is that of a rural
society where every one lived under traditional concepts. For most of the
ordinary folks, they did not have the idea of self expression from a
cultural value point of view and the sense of individualism was quite
weak. Therefore, expressing one's thoughts used to be a matter for
intellectuals and the latter would express themselves in two situations,
one to become an official and worry about the nation's affairs, the other
to become a disappointed scholar and retire from the world.
When many intellectuals ran into obstacles in their government careers,
they would borrow their skills in chess, music, painting, calligraphy and
drank enough wine to create poetry and songs to express their
individualism and special interests. This type of individualistic
expression did not have much social meaning and was purely a matter of
self-entertainment. What is worth a mention is that during the Spring and
Autumn and subsequent Warring States period (770 B.C. to 221 B.C.) when
feudal lords were fighting each other, a large group of learned men who
believed in "literature serves as morality" was running all over the
country and writing books and actively promoting and propagandizing their
own political views and method of ruling a country. This is the
unprecedented period of Chinese history known as "a hundred schools
fighting for supremacy" and Confucius was the most outstanding
intellectual of that period.
"May fourth" period was also the period of individual liberation during
which time anti-traditionalism and anti-authoritarianism carried double
meaning of both freeing the individuals as well as freeing society
(building a new social order) and the two were intertwined like both
sides of the same coin. For example, the young were against traditional
marriages and fighting for the freedom to choose their own mates. This
was both self liberation as well as part of social revolution and
societal movement -- the individual being a member of this social
movement.
"Cultural Revolution" can also be called "totalitarian" societal period.
The characteristics of a totalitarian society is that 1) ordinary life is
highly politicized and there is no room for personal space. Even dating
and marriage become political questions and must be approved by the
organization and everything must be reported to those above. Before and
after every dinner one must declare one's allegiance to Chairman Mao; 2)
there is no freedom and no self, not even freedom to socialize. Every
song that is sung, every movie viewed and every garment worn were almost
all planned by those on top. There is no room at all for individual
expression. At that time, although everyone participated in political
activity, that participation had no individual element. Instead it was
largely a blind following.
In the 1980's, China entered the period of cultural re-awakening. Reforms
and liberalization enabled those who were confined during the Cultural
Revolution to be liberated and have also brought unprecedented
prosperity. At that time newspapers held numerous discussion forums and
invited their readers to participate in discussions with experts and also
started new columns on their papers to allow many readers to express
their views.
From the 1980's to the early 1990's, works that described the life of
ordinary people began to surface in large quantity. These new realistic
writers and film directors used the content of the stories they told to
change a literature of sorrow, of pain borne out of reflecting on one's
culture as well as attempting cutting-edge aphorisms to ordinary life of
citizens. The central characters of this type of literary work are no
longer the hero or the model worker. Instead they are people we run into
on the street, so ordinary they are often banal.
The period from the 1990's to the present is a very special era and is
viewed as "anti-totalitarian society" and the characteristic of this
society is that various elements of different qualities are mixed, recast
or broken up, quite opposite that in a totalitarian society. Today,
people have achieved a definite measure of individual freedom and space
in their cultural entertainment and cultural consumption as more and more
once-closed public spaces have been opened up and many public questions
can now be discussed.

Consumption to expand 11.7% in 2006

www.chinanews.cn 2005-10-25 09:06:39

(Source: Xinhua)

Oct. 25 - China's domestic consumption will grow by 11.7 percent in 2006
as the country has laid out a batch of measures to boost farmers' and
urban low-income group's earnings, said experts in Beijing.
The growth will be 0.2 percentage points higher compared with the
expected consumption increase this year, the Economic Information Daily
quoted Qi Jingmei, an expert with the State Information Center as saying.
China is striving to maintain fast economic growth while shifting to
domestic driving forces, especially consumption, in order to reduce the
heavy reliance on exports.
Qi said a demand-led model is stressed in the guiding proposal for the
2006-2010 period which was passed earlier this month, and this would have
a direct effect on consumption growth next year.
Chinese farmers' income will rise six percent this year, said Qi, citing
the good harvest across the country. Following last year's 6.8 percent
income increase, the continuing growth will make Chinese farmers more
willing to spend.
In the cities, Qi said the lift-up of the minimum wage for lay-offs this
year will increase their spending power and more measures are expected in
2006.
Qi also said the government move to raise the threshold of the personal
income tax will improve the income of ordinary citizens.
According to a proposal, China will lift the threshold from 800 yuan
(98.8 US dollars) to 1,500 yuan (185 US dollars) or higher soon.
Despite the stimulating efforts, Qi said the rising oil prices may dent
people's consumption and the slowdown of the property market is not

AIDS vaccine clinical trial near end

www.chinanews.cn 2005-09-19 14:20:19

Chinanews, Nanning, Sept.17 (By Lin Yanhua) - Today, first-phase clinical
research for China-developed AIDS vaccine entered its final stage. The
last batch of volunteers participating in the test were vaccinated with
combined immune vaccines today in Guangxi Autonomous Region's Center for
Disease Prevention and Control. Such vaccinations are expected to
complete at the end of this year and related clinical observation will be
finished next June.
The center's deputy director Chen Jie remarked that the first-phase
clinical research for China-developed AIDS vaccine is composed of eight
batches of volunteers' vaccination in two stages. The first six batches
of volunteers were vaccinated with single-dose vaccine while starting
from the seventh batch, the volunteers will receive combined immune
vaccines (including DNA vaccines and poxvirus vaccines). Volunteers will
first be vaccinated with DNA vaccines as the base and then receive the
vaccine with pox virus-carrier so that the combined immunity of AIDS
vaccine will be finally accomplished.
On March 12th this year, China commenced its first AIDS vaccine test on
human body. The first batch of eight volunteers received the AIDS
vaccine, followed by regular check-up and health examination conducted by
medical staff. After 180 days of observation, no severe adverse reaction
occurred in those eight volunteers and their biochemical indexes seemed
normal. This indicated that observation of the first batch in the
first-phase clinical research for China-developed AIDS vaccine was
completed and the security of such vaccine was initially proven. At
present, volunteers of other batches are in normal health state.
If the research is finished smoothly and recognized by the State Food and
Drug Administration, researchers will start second-phase clinical
research to evaluate the immunogenicity of the vaccine and expand the
scale of security experiment.
