Chinese New Year
US is likely to be the world’s largest market for solar power, due to changes in legislation that give utilities incentives to create large solar farms. Just imagine how the output of solar power could be boosted by a giant input of space solar power via concentrated microwaves, as described in the book I read called Sunstroke by David Kagan.

Chinese couples rush to marry before tiger pounces
Solar and lunar mismatch means weddings have been brought forward to avoid marrying in a ‘widow year’It sounds like the ideal date to begin a lifetime together: in a rare alignment, on Sunday the Chinese new year falls on Valentine’s Day. But for many couples in China there is nothing romantic about the approaching year of the tiger.Anxious couples have been hastening to tie the knot before the day arrives, concerned that the mismatch between solar and lunar calendars has produced a “widow year”, associated with infertility.The association of certain dates with good or ill fortune has deep roots in Chinese culture, although it was shunned under Mao Zedong. Now, say experts, such beliefs are flourishing again.On Wednesday – the most auspicious day this week, according to almanacs – almost 300 couples converged on one Beijing office within an hour of it opening.Although today was less well-starred, brides and grooms still arrived at registries to “catch the tail of the ox”, before the tiger arrived.”This is the end of the ox year and we heard the whole of the next one will be bad for marriage,” said Zhao Shuoxin, 42, as she clutched her wedding certificate. Her new husband, 54-year-old Zhang Ning, said: “We planned to get married before but we have been so busy. Since this is the last working day we thought we’d better come along right away.”For Wang Shuang and his fiancée, both turning 24, there was an additional complication. “Next year is our birth year – we are tigers – so it’s not lucky to marry then anyway,” he said.”We don’t really care about it so much, but our parents care a lot,” added Li Ting, smiling at her husband-to-be.Mr Zhong of the Fengtai registry said it had extended opening hours to meet the extra demand.
Chinese activist flies home
Feng Zhenghu arrives in China after protest against refusal to let him enter the countryA Chinese activist who spent more than three months camped inside Tokyo’s international airport as part of a protest flew home to China on Friday and was allowed into the country.Feng Zhenghu arrived on a flight from Narita International Airport, where he camped from early November until last week to protest against China’s refusal to let him enter the country.His entrance into China comes after eight previous attempts since June where Chinese authorities refused to allow him in. Feng has angered the local government by supporting student protests and accusing local authorities of wrongdoing.His brother, Feng Zhenglong, confirmed that he had left the airport and was heading to his home in Shanghai.Feng Zhenghu had said in a phone interview from Tokyo that he was eager to spend Chinese new year with his family.”I think this request is humble and reasonable. They should not be so nasty as to keep me from going home,” he said.The predicament of 55-year-old Feng reflects the Chinese government’s rejection of public dissent of any kind. Many activists have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms for non-violent protests. Scores of others have been forced into exile.A dissident writer and human rights activist, Feng was jailed from 2000-2003. Detained for several weeks in early 2009, Feng says he has been monitored and harassed by authorities for supporting Shanghai residents seeking redress in property disputes with the local government.Supporters of Feng gathered at the airport, many of them holding pieces of paper with his name on it.

US and EU call for release of Chinese dissident
Fears that heavy sentence given to Liu Xiaobo, who called for greater political freedoms, indicates clampdown on dissentThe US and European Union today renewed calls for the immediate release of high profile dissident Liu Xiaobo, as a Chinese court upheld his 11-year-sentence.He was convicted for inciting the subversion of state power after co-authoring Charter 08, a call for greater political freedoms. Although the vaguely-worded offence carries a maximum term of up to 15 years, the writer’s sentence was one of the longest handed out in recent years on the charge.But a reduction would have been remarkable in such a high-profile political case and his wife said she had expected the decision. She added that Liu shouted out his innocence after hearing the court’s statement.Diplomats were not allowed into the brief hearing but gathered outside the Beijing court as US and EU spokesmen criticised the decision.The US ambassador, Jon Huntsman, said that Liu should not have been sentenced in the first place and should be released immediately, in a statement read by an American diplomat.”Persecution of individuals for the peaceful expression of political views is inconsistent with internationally recognised norms of human rights,” he added.Simon Sharpe, the spokesman for the EU delegation in China, said: “The European Union believes that the verdict against Liu Xiaobo for his role as author of Charter 08 and for publishing articles concerning human rights on the internet is entirely incompatible with his right to freedom of expression.”The EU calls on the Chinese government unconditionally to release Mr Liu and to end the harassment and detention of other signatories of Charter 08.”Campaigners fear the heavy sentence is indicative of an increasingly punitive approach to human rights activism and political dissent in China.The author’s wife, Liu Xia, said: “I was already mentally prepared for this result. I know the chance to change it in future is very slight.”The court session lasted less than 10 minutes ” they just read the verdict. At the end, Xiaobo shouted: ‘I am innocent’.”She said she saw him briefly at a detention house afterwards, adding: “At the end of the meeting I asked to hug him and it was allowed. I felt he was thinner, although he always says his health is good.

Chinese farms ’cause more pollution than factories’
Groundbreaking government survey pinpoints fertilisers and pesticides as greater source of water contaminationFarmers’ fields are a bigger source of water contamination in China than factory effluent, the Chinese government revealed today in its first census on pollution.Senior officials said the disclosure, after a two-year study involving 570,000 people, would require a partial realignment of environmental policy from smoke stacks to chicken coops, cow sheds and fruit orchards.Despite the sharp upward revision of figures on rural contamination, the government suggested the country’s pollution problem may be close to – or even past – a peak. That claim is likely to prompt scepticism among environmental groups.The release of the groundbreaking report was reportedly delayed by resistance from the agriculture ministry, which had previously insisted that farms contributed only a tiny fraction of pollution in China.The census disproves these claims completely. According to the study, agriculture is responsible for 43.7% of the nation’s chemical oxygen demand (the main measure of organic compounds in water), 67% of phosphorus and 57% of nitrogen discharges.At the launch of the paper, Wang Yangliang of the ministry of agriculture recognised the fall-out from intensive farming methods.”Fertilisers and pesticides have played an important role in enhancing productivity but in certain areas improper use has had a grave impact on the environment,” he said. “The fast development of livestock breeding and aquaculture has produced a lot of food but they are also major sources of pollution in our lives.”He said the ministry would introduce measures to improve the efficiency of pesticide and fertiliser use, to expand biogas generation from animal waste, and to change agricultural lifestyles to protect the environment.While the high figure for rural pollution is partly explained by the immense size of China’s agricultural sector, it also reflects the country’s massive dependency on artificial farm inputs such as fertilisers.The government says this is necessary because China uses only 7% of the world’s land to feed 22% of the global population. An industrial lobby is pushing for even greater use of chemicals. It includes the huge power company CNOOC, which runs the country’s largest nitrogen fertiliser factory in Hainan’s Dongfang City.But the returns on this chemical investment are poor.
