The southern Chinese commercial hub of Dongguan is planning a mass “burial at sea” on next year’s Tomb Sweeping Day, a traditional festival which falls on April 5.

The proposal met with cool responses from local residents, none of whom has signed up to join the event.

“Scattering one’s ashes into the sea? It’s not appropriate!” a septuagenarian woman told a reporter from the Guangzhou Daily.

To locals, a sea burial — in which the decedent’s ashes are scattered over an appointed area by family members on board a funeral boat — is quite a novel approach to a funeral.

The first sea burial in Dongguan occurred in October, when a young man died in an accident. His sister chose the unusual funeral, as he had always been fond of the sea.

Official statistics show that every year about 8,000 people die in Dongguan. Traditional burials, which inter the bodies underground, requires plots of at least 3 square meters per person.

Facing a land shortage, the local government is pushing for land-saving methods such as sea burial.

The primary scheme for the mass sea burial has been completed, and is awaiting government authorization, according to an official with the municipal civil affairs administration. One decision that has already been passed pins the expense of the sea burial on the government.

Local attitudes toward sea burial have changed in recent years. Nearly nobody approved of it in a survey conducted several years ago. Recently, however, the residents have begun to understand, and are trying to accept the environmentally-friendly funeral.

“It will take ten years for sea burial to become popular in Dongguan,” the civil affairs official said.

Nepali government is mulling over abandoning nearly two-decade long privatization policy of selling out state-owned assets to private parties and adopting a policy of gradual disinvestment of equity of Public Enterprises (PEs), local media reported on Monday.

An official at the Ministry of Finance told myrepublica.com that the cabinet meeting held recently formed a high-level committee led by the Finance Minister to recommend new policy to liquidate non-functioning state-owned businesses.

Five ministers representing ministries of Commerce and Supplies, Forest and Soil Conservation, Law and Justice, Industry and Agriculture and Cooperatives are the members of the committee that is expected to submit its final report by mid-January.

The government has reached the conclusion that the present policy of privatization is not workable given that fact that privatization is not politically popular among all the major political parties.

In addition, the poor performances of the PEs that were privatized during first-half of the 1990s also greatly weakened the pro-privatization arguments, said the officials.

The committee that will have finance secretary as the member secretary will first thoroughly review the present status of 36 government enterprises to find out how many of them can be brought into operation by enhancing their competitiveness.

“The committee will then find out the PEs that the state should run even if they are financially not profitable from among the Pes that can be brought into operation,” the official added.

“The committee will recommend the government to initiate the process of dissolving and deregistering of the PEs falling into the category by settling all outstanding financial liabilities,” the official added.

South Korea said Tuesday it finalized on its Afghanistan troop deployment plan, set to deploy up to 350 troops to the Central Asian country for two and a half years as part of the U.S.-led reconstruction program.

According to a statement by the Ministry of National Defense, the South Korean government plans to send at most 350 troops to Parwan Province, north of Kabul, in order to protect the South Korean Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT).

“The main mission will be to guard the PRT base and escort and protect the activities of the PRT members,” the ministry said, adding the troops will rotate every six months.

The deployment lies under the order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman and will involve helicopters, armored vehicles and a reconnaissance drone for security purposes, the ministry said.

The defense ministry also said that South Korean troops, whose dispatch will begin on July 1, 2010, will be stationed in Afghanistan through December 31, 2012.

“As the goals of the PRT can only be met after two or three years, the troops should be stationed in the region for the same period in order to safeguard the team in a stable, continuous way,” the ministry said.

The plan, which was finalized after a Cabinet meeting presided over by President Lee Myung-bak and passed by a parliamentary committee on Monday, is scheduled to be submitted to the National Assembly for a parliamentary approval.

The decision came amid a heated controversy over U.S. President Barack Obama’s announcement to send 30,000 more troops next year to bring the number of American troops there to more than 100,000.

Earlier in October, following U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ visit to Seoul, the Seoul government announced that it is considering troop dispatch to Afghanistan in a bid to more actively take part in the international efforts for supporting Afghanistan’s stabilization and reconstruction operations.

South Korea pulled out of Afghanistan in 2007 when 23 South Korean Christian missionaries were held captive by the Taliban, with two of them killed and the rest released.

Since then, Seoul has only taken the role of providing medical and vocational training by assisting the United States and only two dozen South Korean volunteers work inside the U.S. Air Force Base in Bagram, north of Kabul.

WEST POINT, the United States, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) — After months of review, the Obama administration on Tuesday renewed its strategy for Afghanistan by sending 30,000 additional troops to the country in a decisive war against the al-Qaida network and extremists.

“As Commander-in-Chief, I have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan. After 18 months, our troops will begin to come home,” said President Barack Obama, who told his people “Afghanistan is not lost.” Full story

LONDON, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced on Monday that Britain will deploy extra 500 troops to Afghanistan in a statement to the House of Commons.

Last month, Brown agreed “in principle” to increase British troops in Afghanistan to 9,500 so long as troops are fully equipped for their tasks; the Afghan government is in place, ready to provide more troops for training and all coalition partners bear their fair share of burden. Full story

PARIS, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — French President Nicolas Sarkozy voiced his “full support” on Wednesday for U.S. President Barack Obama’s new decision on Afghanistan but stopped short of committing more French troops.

The Elysee Palace said Obama’s “courageous, determined and lucid discourse” can “give a new impetus to the international undertaking and open a new perspective.” Full story

TOKYO, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — Japan’s Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama on Wednesday welcomed a U.S. pledge to provide additional troops to the country but said that his nation will not provide extra aid to Afghanistan.

Hatoyama claimed that the long-term goal of the U.S. president is to help stabilize Afghanistan through international aid, and not through military interventions. “I believe that this is one of the president’s aims,” he said. Full story

KABUL, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — Taliban militants fighting Afghan government and NATO-led troops based in Afghanistan in a sharp reaction downplayed the new strategy announced by President Obama for Afghanistan on Wednesday.

“The Mujahidin (holy warriors) of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (name of ousted Taliban regime) would continue resistance against U.S. and its national and international allies,” the outfit said in a statement released to media from undisclosed location.

CHINA’S manufacturing activity expanded at a slower pace in December, according to a government survey of purchasing managers released yesterday.

The Purchasing Managers’ Index fell to 55.3 last month from 55.4 in November, the statistics bureau said in an e-mailed statement. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.

China is trying to cool investment to curb environmental damage and the risk of bad loans and idle factories should demand for exports slow. The government last month raised borrowing costs to a nine-year high and pledged a “tight” monetary policy.

The figure for December showed “a normal seasonal fluctuation,” said Zhang Liqun, a researcher at the State Council Development & Research Center in Beijing. China’s investment and economic growth quickened in October and November, and the PMI has not yet reflected those changes, he said.

Of 20 industries surveyed, 18, including transport equipment manufacturers, garment producers and general equipment makers, scored more than 50, the report showed, according to Bloomberg News.

The Purchasing Price Index fell for the first time in five months to 69 after climbing to a two-year high of 70.1 in November, the report said.

The PMI is based on a survey of more than 700 firms in 20 industries. The survey tracks changes in output, new orders, export orders, employment, inventories, input prices and raw-material prices. The data is seasonally adjusted.

Shanghai’s real estate sector in doldrums

Retail sales grew the most in 11 years to 20.2 percent in the January-February period year-on-year, on strong consumer spending and rising inflation.

The reading, which matched the December figure, is 5.5 percentage points higher than the same period last year, indicating sustained strong growth due to the government’s domestic-demand-centered economic policy, analysts said.

“We believe strong retail sales growth is being driven by robust income growth,” Song Yu and Liang Hong, of Goldman Sachs, said in a research note. “We expect the trend to continue going forward.”

The nation’s CPI, the bellwether of inflation, surged to 8.7 percent in February, another main driver of retail sales growth. “But even if you strip out inflation, the growth is impressive,” Lian Ping, chief economist at the Bank of Communications, said.

Real-term retail sales growth in the January-February period was 12.6 percent year-on-year, compared with 13.8 percent in December, according to Goldman Sachs.

“The small gap may be the result of the country’s recent tightening measures to cool the economy, which has to some extent dampened consumer sentiment - in an indirect way,” Sun Lijian, an economist at Fudan University, said. Tightened credit may, for example, result in less consumption of credit-backed goods and services.

Real-term growth, however, has remained stable at around 13 percent in recent months, which shows that the country’s recent policies to stimulate domestic consumption have begun to work, Lian said.

The government has taken a series of measures in recent years to increase incomes, cut taxes and subsidize low-income earners to boost consumption. That saw consumption last year replace investment for the first time in contributing the most to GDP growth.

“Compared with developed economies, we’re still lagging behind in terms of the proportion of consumption behind economic growth. But we’ve had a good start,” Lian said.

The retail trend augurs well for China, which is battling to shift its economic focus from investment and foreign demand to domestic consumption, Lian said. The past year’s high investment growth is one of the main culprits behind its white-hot 11.4 percent GDP growth, while relying on foreign demand has led to trade frictions and currency controversy.

“In the coming years, fiscal support for a domestic demand-oriented strategy will continue to push up consumption, given our increasing economic prowess,” Lian said.

Last year, China registered fiscal revenue of 5.13 trillion yuan, up by about 32 percent year-on-year.

With at least five gold medals racked in World Championships, World Cup Finals and the Athens Olympic Games, the American shooter Matthew Emmons enjoyed a glory that few people could equal.

However, even fewer people had made as big a mistake as he did at the 2004 Olympics, when the 27-year-old athlete, just a shot away from his gold in men’s 50-meter rifle three positions, had last bullet plunged into another shooter’s target.

“Crap happens,” he said after the event, “I’ll live to shoot another day.”

And he did.

Although at the Good Luck Beijing ISSF World Cup, recognized as a warming-up before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the famous shooter failed to advance to the final in men’s 50-meter rifle prone and finished only fourth in men’s 50-meter rifle three positions, Emmons didn’t seem to care much.

“I won’t show my best here,” he said, “it was just a test event for experience and..just a world cup medal. It doesn’t mean anything.”

What he really desired was a breakthrough in men’s 10-meter air rifle event, in which he just took back a silver.

With 700.7 points, Emmons said that the silver medal was more than he expected. “The score of 599 (in the qualification round) is my personal best in World Cups, although it wasn’t my best final,” he said, “There has to be No. 1 and No. 2. I am happy with the result. I really am.”

Emmons won’t show up in the arena of this discipline at the Olympic Games. “So it was my Olympics,” he said.

“It was a good sign that better events are coming up soon,” noted the excited shooter.

In fact, he could have done better. A slow shooter, the American man said he didn’t do well in the last shot. “It normally takes me 30 seconds for a shot. But this time, the spectators reacted easily, so I fired faster.”

When he was shooting, wearing the clothes of his father-in-law in the belief that the 14-year-old uniform could bring his good luck, his wife Katerina Emmons who just picked up a gold in women’s 10-meter air rifle two days ago said she ” crossed fingers for him”.

“He has problems with air rifle recently,” said Katerina, “he didn’t lose anything. He earned his medal.”

Katerina, better known with her original name surname Kurkova before marriage, was bronze medalist at the Athens Olympics in 2004. The sports gala would be forever remembered by Emmons not only because he lost his medal with the well-known mistake, but ashe met his Miss Right.

The couple got married on June 30 last year in Katerina’s hometown Plzen, the place where golden lager beer was born in 1842.

“We are a shooter couple. She helps me in air rifle and I help her in small-bore,” said husband with happiness written on his face.

While Katerina was behind him as he opened fires, Emmons said, “she imposes no pressure on me.”

Actually, he did the same when the Czech markswoman outscored World Record holder Du Li to grab gold in women’s 10-meter air rifle last Saturday.

Looking into the forthcoming Olympics, Katerina has confidence in her husband. “He is quite strong in men’s rifle three positions and prone and I think he is quite likely to win,” she said proudly.

In comparison, Emmons seemed more cool-headed.

“If you come to every competition with the expectation to win, you will find that it probably not gonna happen. There are many good shooters and you can’s strike everyone. Tiger Woods is the best golf player, but he doesn’t win every competition for sure,” he said.

“If I can walk in here, feeling that I have done everything and performed my best, that’s enough,” added the marksman in the mixed zone.

Scorching heat continued to bake most of eastern China Monday, as surging energy demand prompted suppliers in many places to consider temporary power cutoffs to deal with shortages.

Meteorological records show temperatures climbed as high as 35 C in many Yangtze River Delta cities Monday.

Local meteorological departments issued a series of warnings advising residents to seek shade and take measures to stay cool when outside.

In downtown Shanghai, the mercury surged to above 34 C before 10 am Monday, prompting the municipal weather department to issue a yellow-level warning - released when temperatures range between 35 C and 37 C - before temperatures topped out at 37 C.

The Shanghai meteorological bureau said the parched city will experience some rainfall later this week, but that will have a limited effect in cooling temperatures.

Despite having had a week to acclimate to the heat, many residents have said they are finding it difficult to adapt to such heat so early in the year.

Meteorological records show temperatures during the “plum rain period” - an annual period of heavy precipitation in eastern China between June 7 and July 4 - were lower than in previous years until they suddenly surged at the end of last month.

“Experiencing the sudden jump from a relatively cool summer to the current heat wave has been very uncomfortable,” bank employee Wang Xin said.

“The heat makes even the short walk from the subway station to my workplace an ordeal.”

A subtropical high-pressure belt caused temperatures in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to climb higher than 35 C Monday.

Jiangsu’s meteorological authority Monday issued an orange-level alert - issued when temperatures exceed 37 C - and warnings to several cities, suggesting they prepare for another three days of high temperatures.

The Shanghai meteorological department said the city will face between 16 and 22 “hot-weather days” this year, in which temperatures would reach at least 35 C. Last year, the city experienced 30 such days.

It is forecast the city will experience seven to 13 hot-weather days next month. Also, local authorities expect power shortages caused by widespread air conditioner use.

“Shanghai’s power grid is maxed out, and all backup generators are already in use,” Wang Changxing, an official with the Shanghai’s power-supply authority, said.

In Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang, temporary power cutoffs are being considered as an option to deal with the shortages.
