Picking up trash along China's Yangtze River

Every morning at 7 a.m., Li Shuangxi and his wife can be seen bending over and getting up, and bending over again on the marshlands of the Yangtze River in central China's Yichang City.
The couple are not doing their morning exercise, however, as their rubber-gloved hands and the plastic bags slung over their arms indicate. They are litter picking along China's longest river.
Soon a dozen other people joined them. Bags of trash began to pile up by the roadside, waiting to be collected and sent to collecting stations. Less than an hour later the group have left, disappearing into the flow of morning commuters.
"We call ourselves 'ant-men'," said Li, a hairdresser. "All we do is pick up trash along the Yangtze for around half an hour every day."
Last November, Li read a story about a young foreigner who volunteered to clean up the rubbish in his local river every morning, he was greatly inspired.
"I was born and raised along the Yangtze. I have no problem getting up a little bit earlier to do something for my mother river every day," Li said.
He bought garbage bags and gloves right away and began his own endeavor the next day.
Yichang is located in the Three Gorges, one of the most splendid sections of the Yangtze. From a viewing point in the city's river park, Li could only see sand and mud. But when he approached the river, he could see all sorts of waste half-buried beneath the slush.
The couple collected about 50 kilograms of trash on their first day, another 100 kg on the second, and over 200 kg on the third day.
"The marshlands were like a garbage dump," Li said.
As collected garbage was getting too much to handle, he asked a friend to transport the bags to a nearby garbage station on a tricycle. The station refused to accept the garbage at first, asking for disposal fees. Li tried hard to persuade workers there to accept them for free.
Later he posted photographs and a description about what he was doing on his WeChat account. Some of his friends said he should just not bother as there was so much new trash every day. Some even asked if the whole endeavor was just a publicity stunt.
Thanks to the support of his wife and son, Li was not discouraged. After a month, about 100 people had joined him. He had "co-workers."
In October, Li established a volunteer group called "Three Gorges Ant-men," which now has over 300 registered members.
"Everyone is talking about protecting the environment, but hardly anyone does anything about it," said Chen Juan, an "ant-woman" who began collecting trash six months ago. Almost every weekend, she goes along to the river bank with her 5-year-old son in tow, and the two help to collect trash.
From a toddler barely out of nappies to a septuagenarian grandma, "ant-men" collected more than 200 tonnes of trash over the past year, according to Li.
"With less trash in sight, more newly-weds use the river as a backdrop for their wedding photos," Li said, laughing.
The Three Gorges' Ant-men have also won recognition from the city government, which now sends garbage trucks to the collection site and even offered an office, where donated gloves and garbage bags can be stored. Companies also chip in by organizing teams of employees to join the "ant-men".
"We plan to expand the initiative to other cities along the river," Li said. "Half an hour a day, keeps the trash away."

Mexico seeking to attract more Chinese tourists£ºminister

Mexico is seeking to attract more tourists from Asian market, especially from China, said Mexican Tourism Minister, Enrique de la Madrid, in an interview with Xinhua on Sunday.
The official said that he recently visited Beijing with Mexican travel operators in order to analyze "a more aggressive promotion strategy for the Chinese market, where we want to capture the over 100 million Chinese tourists who travel outside the country every year."
For de la Madrid, this involves working on two major points. The first is to ensure better connectivity with more Chinese flights to Mexico. The second is to make a greater promotion about Mexico's many tourism destinations in the Asian giant.
"We want far more visitors and we are also speaking about making the visa process easier," said the minister, adding that Chinese tourists with a valid U.S. visa can already enter Mexico.
According to official data, Mexico received over 40,000 Chinese visitors in the first seven months of the year, a 39 percent spike from the same period in 2015.
China is the third-largest Asian source of origin for visitors to Mexico, with its travellers spending an average of 2,266 U.S. dollars during their stay. They mostly visit Mexico City, Cancun, Tijuana, Guadalajara and Monterrey.

A Jiangsu Province nursing home is offering coupon incentives to children who visit their parents more often.
Filial kids stand to receive up to 200 yuan ($29) in coupons and vouchers for various products - and all they have to do is visit parents or relatives 30 times in two months.
The policy at the Fuxing Nursing Home in Suzhou aims to increase the frequency of family visits to the facility's 512 residents as a way to improve their quality of life.
So far 227 'filial awards' have been handed out. But employees said they are more than a pat on the back.
"It is not only to reward sons and daughters for their filial piety, but also to remind some to check in on their parents more often," said Wei Mouwen, director of the home.
Guest registers from the first half of the year showed that 337 relatives visited once a month or less, while only 38 visited daily.
That number has risen to 227 people visiting at least 10 times a month since the program began two months earlier.
Participants praised the idea.
"The new award is like a look in the mirror," said one visitor. "It helps people realize how inadequate they've been in looking after their parents."

Record-high defense budget looms large Shinzo Abe's militarism dream
http://www.ecns.cn/military/2016/12-05/236448.shtml
Dec 5th 2016, 10:11
Monday Dec 05, 2016
With some Japanese media hyping an assertive China and missile threat from Pyongyang, the Japanese government led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is maneuvering to pass a record-high defense budget in fiscal 2017 to prop up their patriarch's militarism dream.
However, the 5.1 trillion yen (44.64 billion U.S. dollar) defense budget runs counter to the Japanese people's desire for peace and security, as the fundamental and righteous path to tranquillity lies not in a lust for military force, but in a good-neighborly relationship built upon mutual trust and understanding.
Given the dark role Japan had played during the Second World War and beyond, Tokyo's fifth consecutive year increase of the military budget does nothing at all in trust-building with its neighbors. On the contrary, it serves as the cap lifter of a nightmare of Japanese militarism revival.
The envisaged increase of the defense budget, together with a planned establishment of a panel on installing a U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in Japan, is part of the efforts made by the Japanese government towards a "normal country."
However, such measures, along with the revision of Japan's pacifist Constitution, have further drifted Japan away from the path towards a normal country, making it a mission impossible.
Meanwhile, the upcoming increase of the military budget comes against Japan's efforts to cut back its spending on social welfare and education.
According to local media's estimation, to encounter a fast aging society, Japan needs to add 64 billion yen ( 560 million dollars) into its social welfare budget, but the Abe administration plans to condense the increase to 50 billion yen (440 million dollars).
In addition, were it settled, the deployment of THAAD system will cost hundreds of billions of yen (billions of dollars), adding a new burden on the already austere budget system.
Protests inside Japan and from its neighbors have raised red signals to Abe and his right-leaning government. If the prime minister and his colleagues really want to make contributions to world peace and stability, as they have pledged repeatedly, they need to walk their talk.
If history offers any guide, a militarized and belligerent Japan is detrimental to the peace and stability in East Asia and the whole world at large. It's high time for the Japanese government to heed those red signals, bid farewell to its history revisionism and stop muddying the waters in the region.

As China marks its third Constitution Day that falls on Sunday, it is prudent to remember that is not just a day for pomp and ceremony, but an opportunity for all Chinese to celebrate the rules that govern the nation.
The Constitution is nothing without the heartfelt support of all Chinese. Its power lies in the fact that people believe in what it stands for.
This belief in the Constitution has not come naturally or easily.
The current Constitution was adopted 34 years ago on Dec. 4, 1982. It has been a long, arduous journey.
The quashing of the conviction of Nie Shubin on Friday, 21 years after he was executed for rape and murder, shows that the country is committed to purging the judicial system of undesirable behavior and righting the wrongs of the past.
In December 2013, China abolished reeducation through labor after several highly controversial incidents drew nationwide attention. In one case, village official Ren Jianyu in Chongqing Municipality was put in the program for two years for "spreading negative information and inciting the subversion of state power" in 2011, and later released after he had served half of the sentence.
In 2009, Tang Fuzhen, 47, from Sichuan Province set herself on fire over the forced demolition of her house. Such violent and deadly protests against land seizures got people's attention. In 2010, "administrative forced demolition" was banned.
A regulation on homeless people in cities was implemented in 2003 after Sun Zhigang, 27, was beaten to death in an asylum.
Behind such individual incidents, however, was the country's commitment and systematic top-down design to shore up the Constitution's authority and pursue the rule of law.
Eying more effective supervising mechanisms ensuring the Constitution's implementation, the top legislature adopted the People's Congress Supervision Law and revised the Legislation Law, to enable its lawmakers to better supervise the government.
In a legal reform blueprint adopted at a key Communist Party of China (CPC) session in 2014, the CPC vowed to enforce a constitutional supervision system under the National People's Congress (NPC) and to support all organs to better interpret the Constitution.
Meanwhile, the top legislature exercised constitutional stipulations on amnesty, and improved the recording and review system for normative documents to ensure regulations, judicial interpretations, and other normative documents, which conflict with the Constitution or any other law are rescinded or corrected.
Constitution Day has been celebrated since Dec. 4, 2014, and all elected or appointed officials must swear a public oath of allegiance to the Constitution.
The life of Constitution lies in its implementation.
The authority of the Constitution is defended, not only through a ceremonial day, but also through its implementation.
The people must understand that the Constitution is not only a code of conduct that must be followed by all citizens, but also an "amulet" that safeguards their rights.
