Who Will Feed China? A Book by Lester Brown (American) – A Response In 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic prompted many countries to restrict food exports to China, the world witnessed a critical moment for Chinese food security. With a population of 1.42 billion and only 9% of the world’s arable land, China faced an unprecedented challenge: How would it provide enough food for its people? Lester Brown’s Predictions In the 1990s, Lester Brown , an American environmentalist, published his influential book Who Will Feed China? In it, he speculated that China’s rising food demands could lead to a global food crisis. Fast forward to today, and China has addressed these concerns and become a model of food security and agricultural innovation. China’s Success Story China has achieved a per capita grain supply of 470 kg, which is higher than the global average from 2001 to 2018. Despite basic staples like rice contributing only 6% to its total grain consumption, China has managed to meet its foo

  Chinese Scientists find Extract from TCM Treat COVID Chinese doctors have obtained a patent for their work using cepharanthine, a chemical derived from traditional Chinese herbal medicine, to combat SARS-CoV-2, which has had promising results. A patent has been granted to Chinese doctors for their work in combating SARS-CoV-2 with cepharanthine, a substance derived from traditional Chinese herbal therapy, which has shown promising effects. Tong said he tested the efficiency of the chemical to limit the SAR-CoV-2 with scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology's Shi Zhengli and China's top respiratory specialist Zhong Nanshan's teams. According to information supplied to the Global Times by Tong, the inhibition rate of cepharanthine at low doses can still reach as high as 100%. Cepharanthine is a substance derived from Chinese herbal medicine. Researchers discovered that it can stop SARS-CoV-2 from infecting target cells by preventing viral binding. According to Tong,

Questions. Q. Impacts of biochar and nitrogen on bioethanol? Q. What's the effect of biochar on soil enzymes?  Q. Does biochar improve rice grain yield? Q. Can biochar increase plant dry weight/ Biomass?  Q. What are the effects of biochar on soil properties?  Q. What's the effect of biochar and nitrogen on biomass digestibility?  Q. Biochar impact on hexoses, pentoses, and total sugars released with NaOH pretreatment of rice? Q. Effects of biochar on hexoses, pentoses, and total sugars under enzymatic hydrolysis? Answers.  We have conducted a field experiment of two seasons on rice crops and used different treatments of biochar and nitrogen fertilizers to evaluate their impacts on rice biomass digestibility, grain yield, soil enzymatic activities, oil properties, plant dry weight, etc. We found that a moderate rate of biochar in combination with lower N rats is a suitable combination for improving biomass digestibility, grain yield, soil enzymatic activities, oil properties, p

 Finding an apartment to live in is a top consideration for everyone living in China. However, landlord-tenant conflicts are becoming increasingly common. So, let's have a look at what a renter should look out for while renting an apartment.  1. Landlord's responsibilities:  It is the landlord's legal obligation to keep the premises habitable by maintaining the plumbing, ensuring sure the air conditioning or heat works in the winter, and repairing equipment. To maintain the rental property habitable, a landlord must make repairs and perform maintenance on a timely basis. A livable property has appropriate heating, water, electricity, cleanliness, and structural integrity. If a landlord fails to undertake essential repairs or maintenance after receiving a request from a tenant, the tenant may be able to have them done themself after getting a notice. Their rent should be reduced by all reasonable costs. Tenant priority:  1. If the landlord transfers ownership of the proper

 1. Social Security Employers and foreigners are both required to pay social insurance in compliance with applicable legislation.  Enjoy the same treatment as mainland Chinese citizens. They must be covered by basic medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and maternity insurance.  2. An agreement for some insurances to be exempted If China and a foreign nation have signed a bilateral or multilateral treaty on social insurance, the social insurance issues of the people of that other country who work in China are covered by that treaty. Germany, South Korea, Denmark, Finland, Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, and Spain are among the nations that have signed social insurance mutual exemption agreements with China. 3. Departure from China without getting a pension A foreigner's personal social insurance account will be kept if he or she leaves China before attaining the required age for obtaining a pension. When he or she returns to China a

Can foreign students take an internship in China? International students may participate in work-study programs during their time in higher education institutions, but they may not be employed, engage in business, or engage in other for-profit activities, according to Article 30 of The Administrative Measures for the Enrollment and Cultivation of International Students by Schools. As a result, businesses cannot simply hire full-time or part-time foreign students studying in China. Companies may, however, offer international students internships if they follow proper procedures.   Before foreigners may lawfully participate in an internship, they must meet specific prerequisites. Article 22 of the Administrative Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Entry and Exit of Foreigners states that if a foreigner with a study residence permit needs to do off-campus work-study or internship, he or she must apply to the Entry and Exit Administration Agency of the Public Security
