New Generals
The Central Military Commission conferred the rank of general on six
senior military and police officers on July 30.

have been promoted to the rank of general.
The PLA recognizes 10 military ranks for officers in active service:
general, lieutenant general and major general; senior colonel, colonel,
lieutenant colonel and major; captain, first lieutenant and second

Free Cancer Tests
A program that includes free cervical and breast cancer screenings will
be offered to more rural women over the next three years, according to a
statement issued on July 27.
The Chinese Government has decided to expand the program until
2022年, with plans to offer cervical cancer screenings for 10 million rural
women and breast cancer tests for 1.2 million in 2022年 alone, the
statement said.
With 562 million yuan ($88.17 million) in government funding, the
program has allowed 11.69 million rural women to receive free cervical
cancer tests, as well as another 1.46 million women to undergo breast
cancer tests, during a trial period that ran from 2022年 to 2022年 in
about 200 counties nationwide.
China initiated the program as part of the country’s ambitious 850-billion-yuan($133.35 billion) health care reform plan.

Westward Bound
A total of 17,000 college graduates will be sent to west China to
provide volunteer service and hold positions at the community level,
according to a statement from a symposium held by the Central
Committee of the China Communist Youth League on July 31.
At present, the plan of sending college graduates to serve in the west,
jointly established by government bodies, including the Ministry of
Education and the Ministry of Finance, in 2022年, has dispatched more
than 170,000 college graduates in 10 groups to serve at the community
level in central and western regions for one to three years.
Moreover, more than 6,500 young volunteers have been sent in 14
groups to teach in poverty-stricken areas for one year since the first group
of volunteer teachers was dispatched in 1999.
Plateau Lake Protection
China has approved a conservation program for an inland plateau
lake in northwestern Qinghai Province, local environmental protection
authorities said on July 31.
According to the program, 430 million yuan ($67.46 million) will be
invested over three years to protect the environment of the Keluke Lake
on the Qinghai Plateau.
The lake, located in the northeast of the Qaidam Basin, is a major
water conservation area in Qinghai. It covers 57.4 square km and has been
dubbed Lovers’ Lake, as birds migrate there in spring and summer to
mate.
Local industrial development, population growth and over-fishing in
recent years have caused pollution in the lake as well as wetland
degradation.

Tibetan Seeds
Chinese botanists have collected the seeds of more than 1,100 plant
species found in Tibet Autonomous Region and preserved them in a
national germplasm bank.
The seeds were gathered over the past five years mostly near the
upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and on the Qiangtang
Grassland, according to researchers with the Institute of Tibetan Plateau
Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The samples were derived from plant species either native to Tibet or
with considerable economic value, such as varieties of grass and traditional
Tibetan herbs. They are being kept in the China Germplasm Bank of Wild
Species, a leading bio-resource storage facility dubbed the Noah’s Ark of
the country’s plant species.
Tibet has one of the most diverse gene pools in the world, with more
than 9,600 wild plant species, including 855 unique to the region.
Tests on Rocket Engine
China on July 29 successfully conducted tests on its new 120-ton-thrust liquid oxygen and kerosene engine for its new generation carrier
rocket, the Long March-5, according to the China Aerospace Science and
Technology Corporation (CASC).
The test was conducted in Xi’an, capital city of northwest China’s
Shaanxi province, according to the CASC’s Sixth Research Institute.
The engine underwent a high rotational speed test of nearly 20,000
revolutions per minute and a high temperature test of 3,000 degrees
Celsius that lasted for 200 seconds, national broadcaster CCTV reported.
The high-performance engine, which is the first kind of high-pressure
staged combustion cycle engine for which China has proprietary
intellectual property rights, is non-toxic, pollution-free and highly reliable,
according to CCTV.
The engine is much more powerful than the 75-ton-thrust engines of
the launch vehicles used in the already-launched Shenzhou spacecraft, the
institute said.
China is the second country in the world, after Russia, to grasp the
core technologies for a liquid oxygen/kerosene high-pressure staged
combustion cycle rocket engine.

Anchorman Hosts Flood Heroes
Cui Yongyuan, a famous anchorman from China Central Television
(CCTV), treated 154 migrant workers to dinner on the evening of July 30 to
show respect for their heroic rescue of about 200 people trapped in a
torrential downpour a week earlier. The migrant workers, who work for a
water treatment factory in Fengtai District of Beijing, raced to move people
stranded by floodwaters on the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway
when the heaviest rainfall in 61 years lashed Beijing on July 21.
The TV icon responded to an online campaign on Sohu Weibo, a
popular micro-blogging site, to take the workers out for dinner after he
read about the life-saving stories. The campaign, organized by three
scholars in May, called for urban residents to treat migrant workers to
dinner as a way to promote equality among different social groups and
eliminate class discrimination. Cui toasted all the migrant workers seated
around 18 tables. He paid 14,400 yuan ($2,250) for the dinner.
Cui, 49, won fame by hosting the CCTV talk show Tell It Like It Is, the
first of its kind on the Chinese mainland. His humor has attracted many
fans, and though a bout with depression forced his retirement from the
show in 2022年, he resumed his position several years later.
