| Over a Thousand Protest Against Chemical Plant in East China Posted: 27 Oct 2012 08:52 AM PDT | Over a thousand protesters gather in Ningbo, eastern China, to protest against plans to expand a petrochemical plant. Full Story: More than a thousand people gathered in the eastern Chinese port city of Ningbo on Saturday to protest against plans to expand a petrochemical plant. Protesters on Friday overturned a police car and attacked the police. By early Saturday, protesters, watched over by police officers, gathered in central Ningbo wearing masks and giving out pamphlets, denouncing the expansion of the plant by a subsidiary of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation in the district of Zhenhai. Police arrested some protesters as scuffles broke out. Some protesters called for Liu Qi, the mayor of Ningbo, to step down, while others held up placards. "PX...Get out of Ningbo!" read one placard, in a reference to the chemical paraxylene, which the protesters said was a carcinogen. [Peng Shaoming, Ningbo Resident]: "I think the chemical, industrial project is not very good for the eco-system. I don't think they should exchange our living environment for development." The number of protests over environmental issues has risen in the past few years. These protests, which are tolerated more than those driven by political concerns, pose a conundrum for authorities who want to maintain social stability but also present an image of listening to the needs of ordinary people.

| Expert Attributes Tightening of China-ASEAN Relations to CCP's Extravagant Self-Consciousness Posted: 27 Oct 2012 12:19 AM PDT | Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com Odd Arne Westad, professor of London School of Economics and Political Science, published an article about China-ASEAN relations on Bloomberg News on October 18th. The article wrote that, although China had kept a friendly attitude toward Southeast Asian countries for 30 years since the Deng Xiaoping era, relations between China and ASEAN suddenly worsened two years ago. Odd Arne Westad attributed this change to the CCP's "consciousness of its growing power". Some Chinese scholars remarked that, the CCP kept a low profile in the past in order to wait for better opportunities. As a dictatorship, the CCP cannot help seeking hegemony once its national power grows larger. Professor of London School of Economics and Political Science Odd Arne Westad recently made comments that, until two years ago China had kept up good relations with Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam. However, the situation changed abruptly in 2010 at the ASEAN Regional Forum, where CCP's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi lost his temper and flared up against US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The cause of Yang's anger was that, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines and Brunei which all have territorial disputes with China, had worked out a multilateral negotiation mechanism under the support of the United States, the European Union and Indonesia. This deviated from the CCP's preferred way of solving dispute issues based on one-to-one <b>...</b> | Views: 0 4 ratings | | Time: 03:53 | More in News & Politics |

| Tiny Dinosaur Discover in Argentina Posted: 26 Oct 2012 08:06 PM PDT | Paleontologists in Argentina have found a model replica of a theropod genus of dinosaur, known as alnashetri cerropoliciensis. The most famous therapod is undoubtedly the the massive, meat-eating Tyrannosaurus Rex. But the carnivorous alnashetri is about the size of a hen and is thought to be much older than its giant cousin. [Sebastian Apesteguia, Paleontologist]: "There are approximately five species but what's surprising is that the Alnashetri, which is this new little dinosaur, is much older than the ones we have found up until now. It's older than the other ones we have found in Argentina and older than ones found in other parts of the world. As a result, it gives us the opportunity to re-evaluate the origins of this group," The fossils of the tiny dinosaur were discovered in Argentina's Rio Negro Province in the Candeleros Formation—the site of a vast array of fossil finds. [Sebastian Apesteguia, Paleontologist]: "Also we have found other carnivorous dinosaurs like the buitreraptor, and a large quantity of fossils that makes it a very important discovery region. As a result, we go back as often as we can and we find surprises like the Alnashetri and other animals that we are also getting ready to exhibit." The Alnashetri is believed to have lived about 97-million years ago.

| Chinese Residents Protest Sinopec Plant Expansion Posted: 26 Oct 2012 02:43 PM PDT | Residents of the city of Ningbo in China's Zhejiang Province are calling for a large protest this weekend over the expansion of a local oil refinery and chemical plant. After two weeks of demonstrations in the Zhenhai district, protesters are now calling for a bigger gathering in Tianyi Square in central Ningbo. Ningbo residents are concerned authorities may be hiding information about the environmental effect of the expansion of China's largest oil refinery and an associated petrochemical plant operated by Sinopec. The center of the debate is over the production of the toxic chemical paraxylene, or PX, which can damage the central nervous system, liver and kidneys if inhaled in large amounts. Chronic exposure may even result in death. The chemical plant is already producing 500000 tons of PX per year. Authorities say the expansion has met the requirements of an environmental assessment, and will increase annual oil refining capacity by 15 million tons.

| Chinese Ships Enter Japanese Waters Near Senkaku Islands Posted: 26 Oct 2012 02:35 PM PDT | The controversy continues over the ownership of the Senkaku or Diaoyu islands in the East China Sea today. Chinese surveillance ships entered a 13 mile zone of water claimed by Japan Thursday morning, resulting in a protest from Tokyo. Japanese authorities told the Associated Press that China has been building up its air force operations in the area. The Chinese ships refused to leave, according to the Japanese coast guard. Chinese ships haven't entered those territorial waters since October 3rd. Senior Chinese and Japanese diplomats held discussions over the matter a few weeks ago. After Japan bought the islands from their Japanese owner in September, tensions between the two countries spiked. Both countries sent patrol boats to the area, raising concerns of a broader conflict. Violent protests occurred throughout China, with calls for boycotts on Japanese goods. Japanese automakers have been hit especially hard since the protests in which Japanese cars were vandalized.

Earlier today, state-run Xinhua news agency officially announced that Bo has been expelled from the National People's Congress. With the expulsion comes a loss of immunity from prosecution, paving the way for his high-profile trial that could come ahead of the 18th Party Congress. Bo is facing a myriad of charges including corruption, sexual crimes, being an accessory to murder, as well as other unspecified charges. The allegations against him date all the way back to his time as mayor of Dalian in Lioaning province in the 90's. Many suspect that his trial is just a formality, and the final decision against Bo has already been made. [Lan Shu, Political Commentator]: "The CCP would like to deal with Bo's case like how it dealt with Wang Lijun and Gu Kailai. So the lawyers are really there for show, like for Wang and Gu. So authorities would need to appoint someone to control what goes on." Lan Shu also says the Chinese Communist Party will block Bo from choosing his own attorney, because they still want to control what gets leaked about Bo's crimes. International rights groups have accused him of being involved in the persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual practice and the alleged forced organ harvesting of them and other prisoners of conscience.

| NYU Medical Ethics Director Urges US to Release Information on Organ Harvesting in China Posted: 26 Oct 2012 01:12 PM PDT | This February, the Chinese Deputy Chief of Chongqing, Wang Lijun fled to the US Consulate in Chengdu with confidential documents. Some of the documents are believed to contain classified information on the state-sanctioned practice of organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience. The US State Department has not released the classified documents, but it did acknowledge accusations of forced organ harvesting in its latest human rights report on China. Arthur Caplan is a Professor of Medical Ethics and the Director of the Langone Medical Center and School of Medicine of New York University. He says the release of any information on forced organ removal is the first step in stopping the practice.

I am very pleased that these Congressmen have called for this release and I hope that the state department responds quickly." He also says the evidence that this is happening in China should not be in question.
