Pollution Control
China’s Ministry of Science and Technology started planning for a five-year air pollution prevention and control project， the ministry announced on March 3.
A draft blueprint for the project has been published on the ministry’s website and the ministry is soliciting public comment.
According to the draft， the focus of air pollution control in China should be shifted from simply responding to heavy smog to a coordinated scheme to prevent both PM2.5—airborne particles measuring less than 2.5 microns in diameter—and ozone （O3）.
Air pollution monitoring and management practices will be shifted from the city level to a regional scale， the draft said.
According to the draft， the project will be carried out starting this year until 2020.

More Public Servants
Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has promoted 2，138 public servants in the past month， local authorities said on February 27.
Over the past three years， Xinjiang has sent a staggering 200，000 civil servants to its rural areas to help improve the quality of life of residents. This is part of a wider push by the regional government to give city officials experience in the country’s underdeveloped areas.
Last March， the first 70，000 cadres from government departments， public institutions and state-owned enterprises were assigned to one-year posts in 8，636 villages； 759 branches of state farms； and 931 communities.
Zhang Chunxian， Party Chief of Xinjiang， said the cadres had achieved extraordinary results in their placements and really made a difference in villagers’ quality of life.
According to the regional CPC committee， 2.26 billion yuan （$367.7 million） has been allocated to finance the building of roads， power networks， water facilities， as well as residential renovation projects.
The next round of 70，000 public servants will start their placements in rural areas soon.
Mine Safety Concerns
The State Administration of Work Safety vowed on March 4 to close at least 5，000 small mines， which is equal to 5 percent of the nation’s total， to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities in 2015.
A 2007 regulation defines serious accidents as those causing 10 to 30 deaths， 50 to 100 serious injuries， or direct economic losses of between 50 million yuan （$8.13 million） and 100 million yuan （$15.87 million）.
Extremely serious accidents are classified as those that kill more than 30 people， seriously injure 100， or cost more than 100 million yuan （$15.87 million） in losses.
Many small mines were lambasted by the administration for using substandard technology and equipment， which made them hazardous.
There were 269，000 accidents nationwide in the first 11 months of 2014， down 4.7 percent from the same period in 2013. Fatalities dropped by 6.1 percent to 57，000.
As of the end of 2014， China had seven national mine accident rescue teams， 14 regional rescue teams， 16 res- cue teams established by state-owned companies and 10 rescue training centers， according to Yang. Emission cuts including 70，000 tons of sulfur dioxide， 60，000 tons of nitrogen oxides， 40，000 tons of industrial fumes and 20，000 volatile organic compounds take place throughout the year， according to the MIIT.
The authority will prioritize aid to factories in Beijing and neighboring Tianjin Municipality and Hebei Province， as well as those in the Yangtze River Delta. Those areas have been the worst effected by smog.
Super Bulb
Workers operate on the production line of super quantum LED bulbs in Liancheng County， southeast China’s Fujian Province， on March 3.
The super quantum LED bulb and its high-speed automatic production line were unveiled that day. The bulb is characterized by high luminous efficiency and a long life span.
Rare Earth Exchange
China’s first rare earth exchange has operated well in its first year， turning over more than 35，000 tons of products.
The trading volume of the Baotou Rare Earth Products Exchange， launched in March 2014 in Baotou， north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region， reached 5.6 billion yuan （$910 million） at the year’s end， said Gu Ming， general manager of the exchange.
Ninety-five rare earth firms and traders in about half of China’s provinces have opened accounts with the exchange， an electronic platform created to help regulate the domestic rare earth industry and improve its transparency， Gu said.
The exchange was initiated by China North Rare Earth Group Co. Ltd.， the country’s leading rare earth producer， and another 12 firms and institutions with a registered capital of 120 million yuan （$19 million）.
It has three spot transaction modes： price bidding， listed trading and realtime trading online， with trading items including cerium oxide， praseodymiumneodymium oxide and europium oxide.
Fly Like 5G Technology
If events at the 2015 Mobile World Congress （MWC） currently held in Barcelona from March 2 to 5 were anything to go by， Chinese telecom firms， including Huawei， look certain to lead the development into 5G technology.
The Internet of Things and the Internet of Vehicles were muchdiscussed topics in Barcelona， and it is obvious that the 4G network simply isn’t going to be enough to carry the estimated 100 billion Internet connections that are needed， something Huawei’s acting CEO， Ken Hu has described as “a huge challenge to the mobile industry.”
“Everything will be connected： our toothbrushes， our sneakers， glasses， watches as well as forklifts and robotic arms used in factories，” said Hu， stressing that 5G， with a capacity 1，000 times greater and an estimated 100 times faster than current 4G networks， can make that connected future possible， providing the speed needed for selfdriven vehicles， for example. At the MWC， Huawei signed a collaboration agreement with Japan’s major mobile operator DOCOMO for both companies to test 5G remote access technology in the latest of a series of agreements with countries from all around the globe. Huawei backed the commitment further， announcing plans to invest at least $600 million in research and development in the technology over the next three years.
Rise in Service
The Yangtze River Delta is exhibiting a more service-based economy， as the service sector for the first time became the region’s largest economic sector last year.
According to a report released on March 2 by the Statistics Bureau of Wuxi， east China’s Jiangsu Province， the tertiary industry of the region’s 16 major cities’ added value reached 5.43 trillion yuan （$882.9 billion） in 2014， accounting for 51.2 percent of the total GDP， compared with the secondary （45.8 percent） and primary （3 percent） sectors.
The report analyzed that the region had stepped up economic restructuring in recent years under pressure from shrinking resources， deteriorating environment and rising labor costs. The tertiary industry， also known as the service industry， will be a new driving force of regional development， it said.
The festival， which fell on March 5 this year， is celebrated on the 15th day of the Chinese Lunar New Year and marks the end of the Spring Festival.
