- But the additional detail in the tenancy map suggests a subtlety which was missing when we discussed inequality — missing perhaps because we do not have comprehensive hsien level data for the latter variable. That is that within-province variations in tenancy may in some cases yield a positive correlation with Communist influence. For example, not only does the county of Fushih (Yenan) appear darker than the surrounding areas (as we would expect from its rather high equal share percentage), other counties in other base areas show a similar tendency. Foup’ing in northwest Hopei (a county central to the Shansi-Chahar-Hopei base), Hoshun in southeast Shansi (the first county developed for the Shansi-Hopei-Shantung-Honan Border Region), and several of the counties in the north Anhwei bases stand out from their immediate background.]

- Recent examples of environmental pollution and natural resource degradation issues faced by the investment community, government, and private citizens in China highlight the broad spectrum of China’s environmental and related health challenges. These challenges include drinking water shortages, such as those arising from the massive industrial accident in Chongqing municipality in December 2003."⁴ They also include harmful children’s health situations, such as the high congenital birth defect rates recently recorded in places such as Heshun County in Shanxi Province.⁵
