Yangtze River Polluted with 33+ Billion Tons of Waste For more news visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Follow us on Facebook ☛ me.lt The Chinese regime's drive for rapid industrialization has come at a cost to the country's natural resources. Water protection authorities say more than 33-billion tons of waste have been discharged into the country's largest river every year. While measures have been taken to address water pollution, environmentalists say more still needs to be done. Environmentalists are calling on Chinese authorities to protect the Yangtze River. It comes after a water protection bureau revealed this month that a massive amount of sewage is discharged into the river every year. Since 2006, more than 30-billion tons of sewage flows into the Yangtze River annually. In 2010, that amount increased to 33.9-billion tons, according to the Yangtze River Water Resources Protection Bureau. The bulk of the waste comes from factories along the river's middle and lower reaches. Environmentalist Yang Xin says authorities need to step up waste management to protect this major water resource. [Yang Xin, Environmentalist]: "The Yangtze River supports 400-million people, and nearly half the country's economy. Each year more waste is discharged into the river. We've continuously said that the river needs to be better protected, including improved oversight of waste management, to lower the amount of discharge." Chinese authorities say they've been closing down factories with poor waste management systems ... From: NTDTV Views: 51 6 ratings Time: 02:18 More in News & Politics

Preview Exhibition Ahead of China's Fall Auction Season For more news and videos visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ me.lt Thousands of pieces of artwork were on display Tuesday, for bidders to view ahead of the 2011 Guardians Auction in Beijing. This marks the start of the fall auction season. Let's take a look. On Tuesday, over 4500 works of art were showcased at the Beijing International Hotel Conference Room. It's part of a pre-exhibition for the 2011 Guardian Auctions that will run from the November 12th -- 16th. Calligraphy and rare paintings were among the works on display. [Hu Yanyan, Deputy Executive, China Guardians Co. Ltd.]: "In terms of calligraphy and painting works only, we have about 100 items worth over five million yuan (some 800000 US dollars) up for auction and many other famous and rarely seen items." The most prized piece in the collection is an oil painting by the late painter Wu Guanzhong titled "A Thousand Mile Long Yangtze River" painted in 1973. Another piece from 1986, "Houses in the Woods" painted by Li Keran, is also expected to fetch a high price. [Gong Jisui, Professor, China Central Academy of Fine Arts]: "He applied the gradual deepening technique in this painting. He finished only two or three other paintings with the same painting skills, so they are really rare." The Guardian Auction marks the beginning of the fall auction season. Immediately after, the Ancient Bronze Mirrors Auction is set to take place, followed by auctions in Hong Kong. From: NTDTV Views: 23 0 ratings Time: 01:35 More in Film & Animation

China's Massive Dam Faces Major Flood Control Test

China's Massive Dam Faces Major Flood Control Test Flooding continues to be a major problem for southern China today. And now, the massive Three Gorges dam is being pushed to the limit, as water levels continue to rise. Here's more. China's enormous Three Gorges dam is facing the test of flood control, as torrential rains swell the rivers that feed it. Much of China has been suffering flooding and landslides after weeks of torrential downpours. The rains have killed at least 146 people and left another 40 missing. Engineers have raised the rate at which water is being sent out of the reservoir to make room for new waves of floodwaters expected this week. [Wei Shanzhong, Yangtze River Flood Control Admin.]: "The rain in the gorge area will immediately affect the water flow, increasing to around 70000 cubic meters (per second). The level of this flood will be higher than the historic floods of 1954 and 1998." State-run media showed pictures of drained locks, closing passage up the reservoir for ships destined for southwestern hub of Chongqing. The locks close if the water comes faster than 11 million gallons per second. Even if the dam succeeds in its role of holding back deadly floodwaters there may still be problems downstream where continuous rains have also weakened dikes.
