BEIJING, Feb 9 2007 (IPS) – As the government completes a modernisation project begun more than a century ago, tensions simmer over the usefulness of such enduring icons of Chinese national identity as the fire-breathing dragon.
In recent months reformers, waging war with purists, have argued that China would be better off dropping the dragon as the national symbol because it could be projecting an image of China as an aggressive, ascending power.

They have also attacked China s ancient healing arts, denouncing them as pseudo science and calling for traditional medicine to be stripped of its protected status in the Chinese constitution.

All these battles have galvanised opinion and provoked debates among the public around one question should …

RIO DE JANEIRO, Apr 20 2007 (IPS) – The indigenous protesters who camped out this week in the very heart of the Brazilian capital have victories to celebrate, like the installation by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of a national commission on indigenous policy.
Lula received a committee of indigenous leaders Thursday in the seat of government, in a meeting that was not scheduled until late Wednesday. The president said he hopes in his second term, which runs from this year to 2010, to put into effect the programmes in favour of indigenous people that he was unable to implement in his first term, which began in 2003.

The new national commission on indigenous policy, under the Justice Ministry, is made up of 20 representatives of indigenous groups and …

BEIJING, May 30 2007 (IPS) – China has confirmed the seriousness of recent international scares about rampant fraud and counterfeiting in its booming economy in a most dramatic way by sentencing to death the country s former top drug regulator.
Zheng Xiaoyu, former director of the State Food and Drug Administration, was convicted of taking bribes and failing to curb a scandalous market in fake and dangerous medicines. A Beijing court awarded the death sentence Tuesday morning.

The extreme punishment comes after weeks of heightened fears about the quality and safety of Chinese agricultural and pharmaceutical goods. China, which earns more than 30 billion US dollars a year from food and drug exports to Asia, North America and Europe, has been recently …

BANGKOK, Jun 26 2007 (IPS) – As the United Nations marks International Day of Support for Victims of Torture Wednesday, Burmese refugees who have fled violence in their own country are facing another kind of torture not physical, but mental and psychological.
Depression and stress-related disorders are becoming more common, experts say, in many Burmese refugee camps. Unfortunately, psychosocial services are still lacking in most areas due to shortage in human and material resources.

Mental health patients are increasing in the camps for the last several years. This is due to dismal living conditions in camps, plus the fact that they have been living here for almost two decades facing a bleak, uncertain future, Annabelle Mubi, International Rescue…

JOHANNESBURG, Jul 30 2007 (IPS) – An unexpectedly rich variety of organisms can be found in groundwater, a source that more than 37 percent of people in Southern Africa are dependent on, according to the Southern African Development Community #39s Water Sector Co-ordinating Unit. And, an Australian scientist visiting South Africa believes these tiny animals should be studied more intensively to monitor the quality of groundwater.

BRUSSELS, Aug 29 2007 (IPS) – The European Union s only directly elected body is demanding increased aid for basic health and education in poor countries before it approves next year s budget for the 27-nation bloc.
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have recently begun scrutinising the EU s draft budget for 2008, which is set to exceed 129 billion euros (176 billion dollars).

Initial discussions within the assembly indicate that it could refuse to give its blessing to some of the proposed expenditure on development aid in a vote slated for December.

Ralf Walter, a German Socialist MEP, said that he was dissatisfied with the level of financing going to health and education in poor countries.

Under the EU s new Development Cooperatio…
