Draft law would see violators pay up to 100 million yuan for every hectare China plans to step up a crackdown on violations that jeopardize wetlands with fines of up to 100 million yuan ($15.6 million) per damaged hectare, according to a draft law. Aside from restoring damaged areas they occupied, those who reclaim swamps will have their illicit gains confiscated. The draft law on wetland protection sets fines for such breaches at between 500 and 5,000 yuan a square meter, with that amount rising to up to 10,000 yuan for breaches in national key wetlands. It also stipulates a maximum fine of 1 million yuan for those who drain natural wetlands or permanently cut off their water sources. The draft was submitted to the ongoing session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, for a second reading on Tuesday. The fine increases from the first draft were proposed after the committee solicited opinions from the public, government bodies and senior lawmakers in Beijing, said Hu Keming, vice-chairman of the NPC's Constitution and Law Committee. Field visits to collect suggestions were also conducted in four provincial-level regions, including Liaoning and Heilongjiang provinces, he said. The draft law would also empower authorities to claim environmental compensation from those who breach it. A national catalog of important wetlands will be compiled by forestry and grassland authorities and related State Council departments, while provincial-level governments will compile catalogs of important wetlands within their jurisdictions, the draft says. The central authorities also unveiled a guideline on biodiversity conservation on Tuesday, vowing to place 55 percent of the country's wetlands under protection by 2025 and to lift the proportion to 60 percent by 2035. According to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, more than half of the country's wetlands are now being conserved. Thanks to consistent protection efforts, China saw its wetlands grow by about 202,600 hectares from 2016 to 2020, the administration said. With 201 national wetland parks established in the past five years, the number of such parks across the country has reached 899. China has some of Asia's most important wetlands, such as Poyang Lake, the country's largest freshwater lake and its largest winter habitat for migratory birds.

China's Shenzhou XIII crewed spaceship successfully docked with the port of the space station core module Tianhe on Saturday, a move overseas experts have called another "key step" forward in China's space exploration. Three Chinese astronauts aboard the Shenzhou XIII will stay in orbit for six months, making China's longest yet crewed mission for space station construction. Denis Simon, executive director of the Center for Innovation Policy at Duke Law, told Xinhua that China's success in space continues to be impressive. "It is now well on its way to being a leader in space exploration," he said. With the current mission, China has taken another key step toward building a Chinese space station, he said. Akihiro Fujiwara, a satellite engineer at Japan's Mitsubishi Electric extended his best wishes for the launch. "I always take my hat off to this amazing driving force," Fujiwara said. "I pray for the safe launches and safe returns of the mission." The crew includes two veterans of space travel－Zhai Zhigang, 55, and Wang Yaping, who is scheduled to become China's first female space-walker. The third member, Ye Guangfu, 41, is making his first trip to space. Many sent the Chinese astronauts their blessings. Matthias Maurer, a German astronaut with the European Space Agency and a material scientist, messaged in a tweet on Friday that he was "very excited for my dear friend Ye Guangfu finally going to space". Maurer said that Ye was the first Chinese astronaut in an ESA astronaut exploration training program in extreme and planetary analogue environments. "Godspeed to all three of you!－I'll join you soon in space," Maurer wrote. Retired NASA astronaut Cady Coleman sent encouraging words to Wang, CGTN reported. "When you look out the window, billions of women are looking out that window with you, including me," she said. Pui Jeng Leong, a media veteran in Brunei, told Xinhua that the successive successful launches of Shenzhou XII and XIII within a four-month period symbolized that China's aerospace industry has entered a new age with Chinese astronauts' long-term stay in a space station, which once again demonstrates that China's aerospace technology has reached a leading level. This mission will continue to testify to the key technologies of space station building and lay a solid foundation for more launches of crewed spaceships and other space activities, he said. "China's capabilities in space launch and exploration promise to grow in the future," US expert Simon noted, saying that "this could be an area for fertile cooperation".

"Autumn freezes in the spring, and all diseases will survive." However, "Autumn freezes" does not mean that they do not keep warm at all. Experts reminded that the three parts of the neck, waist and kidney, and ankle should be "key protection" to keep warm. Because these three parts are on the main channel of the body's Yang Qi transportation, and there are fewer muscles and abundant blood vessels, they are the main physiological support points. Once cold, it will cause diseases in related parts. Warm the neck: coldness makes cervical spondylosis worse There are not a few people in the office who suffer from cervical spondylosis. They keep their head down or work in a fixed posture for a long time, so that the cervical spine is in a flexed position or certain specific positions for a long time. The neck itself is very delicate, coupled with the foundation of chronic strain. Therefore, once caught in the cold, it may cause contraction of blood vessels, neck muscle spasm, and nerve edema, induce cervical spondylosis or make the original cervical spondylosis worse. Keep warm "tips"-a scarf on top of a quilt. The easiest way to warm your neck is to wear a scarf or a turtleneck, etc., to protect your neck from exposure to prevent the cold from invading. In addition, you can also do the action of expanding the chest-raising the head-stretching the muscles and bones, that is, cross your hands and put it behind the neck, while expanding the chest, tilting the head back, and pushing the arms forward, so that the neck and the arms form a "resistance" trend. , So you can exercise the muscles of the head and neck. Warm waist: Innate love to be warm and afraid of cold The waist is a person's "top leader". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the waist is the home of the kidney. The kidney is the innate foundation of the human body. The relatively high incidence of cold and damp low back pain in the elderly is mainly caused by wind and cold attack on the waist, which will be aggravated on cloudy and rainy days. For women, because they are in the veined area, the stagnation of Qi and blood stasis caused by cold in the waist will affect the functions of the reproductive system such as the ovaries, so it is necessary to pay more attention to keeping the waist warm. Keep warm "tips"-rub your hands and massage Shenshu points. In addition to wearing a waist protector to keep warm, you can also use manual massage to relieve the discomfort caused by cold. Cross your hands and rub them quickly. After the palms are warmed, cover them directly on the Shenshu point, warm the waist and kidneys with the heat from the palms, and rub them clockwise with both hands. Shenshu acupoint is what we commonly call the "waist eye". It is an important acupuncture point for protecting the kidney. It is located under the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, at the width of the left and right fingers. Warm your feet: cold e...
