Salt Works Close
Hundreds of thousands of workers are report unemployed as a result of the recent closing of the Chengkou saltworks, on the Shensi border of northeast Szechuen, which, closing, many believe, was deliberately engineered by the Kaihsien salt Producers, who were desirous of cornering that market.
The trouble is aggravated by the Government's order that only salt produced in Kaihsien is to be sold in Chengkou. Decidedly angry at the state of affairs, the residents of Chengkou have declared that rather than buy Kaihsien salt, they would go without any salt.

In China, teaching has long been a profession with relatively low pay. Teachers from Yilan had posted a letter online that said educators who have worked for 20 years make just over $320 per month, and new teachers make $160 — “even more pathetic,” according to the letter.

Dingyuan

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization for the Mandarin 定遠／定远 (Dìngyuǎn).

As a result of Lin Piao and the "gang of four's" reckless, unbridled sabotage of the party's various policies for the rural areas, their trampling on the production team's right to stand on its own feet, and their arbitrary orders and unscrupulous commandism, agricultural production and commune members' livelihoods were greatly jeopardized. Deeply victimized Tingyuan County is an example.
The "gang of four's" representative in Anhwei, disregarding the country's practical situation and the production teams' right to stand on its own feet, forced the county to expand paddy rice production. As a result, the county reaped almost nothing on more than 200,000 mou of rice paddies each year; grain output did not increase for many years; output of cotton , oil-bearing crops, tobacco and other crops dropped by a great margin; and commune members' incomes decreased and their lives became more difficult.
During the struggle to penetratingly expose and criticize the "gang of four," the Tingyuan County party committee has dared to destroy and construct, conscientiously implemented the party's various policies for the rural areas, highly respected the production team's right to stand on its own feet, and freely mobilized the masses to grow what's appropriate to local conditions; it has thus quickly reversed its passive situation, overcome the difficulties caused by "man-made calamities" and natural disasters, achieved an overall bumper harvest og grain, cotton and oil-bearing crops, and put an end to the situation of constantly poor agricultural production. Tingyuan County's struggle fully indicates that respecting the production team's right to stand on its own feet is of great importance and significance in speeding up agricultural production.

Fangshan

GEDONG, China -- There was no sign, but Gedong's teenagers knew the way. Down a dusty alley just off Jicui Park and a few minutes' walk from local schools, the curtained door beckoned. Inside, in a dingy back room off the kitchen, a clutch of adolescent boys crowded around six computers and stared at the images flickering on their screens.
For the equivalent of 35 cents an hour, the youths were playing computer games in an underground Internet cafe, one of a half-dozen information-age speak-easies in this little farming and coal-mining town in Shanxi province 220 miles southwest of Beijing. For those unable to afford their own computers -- the vast majority here -- going online in a clandestine dive has become the only option; the local Communist Party leader banned Internet cafes nine months ago as a bad influence on minors.
"If they dare to reopen, we might launch another campaign to shut them all down again," proclaimed Zhang Guobiao, party secretary for the surrounding Fangshan County.

Tamarix forests not only effectively control local sand movement, wind erosion and disasters caused by wind-blown sand, but can also stop sand grains brought by the wind. For example, on the 3333.3 hectacres of planted Tamarix forest at the outer Qira Oasis with 60-70% coverage, the annual sand-blocking amount can reach 700,000 m³. When the wind passes through a Tamarix forest, besides blocking sand, the twigs and leaves of the trees also obstruct the passage of the dust in the air, improving the health situation of humans and livestock. For example, when the wind velocity is 15 m/s, the dust content at 2m height is 1/18 of the content measured at the same height in the outer oasis (observed at Qira County in 1987).

To improve the local people's living standards, the natural gas project was launched in 2010 and has been operating since 2013. So far, more than 3,000 km of pipes have been installed, providing natural gas to 42 counties and cities, and benefiting over 4 million residents in south Xinjiang.
"It saved me a lot of money," said Hawanisahan Jelili, who lived in Karakax County in Hotan Prefecture, adding her family would spend nearly 3,500 yuan for heating by burning coal in winter, but it was reduced to 2,000 yuan after natural gas pipes were built in the county in 2016.
