Clean Plate Campaign In China
The Clean Plate campaign is a movement initiated in 2013 to reduce food waste and ensure food security in China. With the initial campaign from the grass-root, it soon receives government encouragement and support. Aligned with Chinese leader and CCP general secretary Xi Jinping's platform of anti-corruption and instilling more discipline among party members, there were government instructions and demands to limit the government spending on social banquet, which was a big contributor of food waste. However, other than that measure, the government mostly stayed out of the private realm with no central regulations on private practices of food waste. There was some local effort but most of it died out soon. On 13 January 2013, a public charity organization in Beijing launched an anti-food-waste campaign which they later referred to as the "Clean Plate" campaign. Initially distributing posters and flyers in restaurants and gas stations, the campaigners quickly drew the attention of stat ...

Food Loss And Waste
Food loss and waste is food that is not eaten. The causes of food waste or loss are numerous and occur throughout the food system, during production, processing, distribution, retail and food service sales, and consumption. Overall, about one-third of the world's food is thrown away. A 2021 metaanalysis that did not include food lost during production, by the United Nations Environment Programme found that food waste was a challenge in all countries at all levels of economic development. The analysis estimated that global food waste was 931 million tonnes of food waste (about 121 kg per capita) across three sectors: 61 per cent from households, 26 per cent from food service and 13 per cent from retail. Food loss and waste is a major part of the impact of agriculture on climate change (it amounts to 3.3 billion tons of CO2e emissions annually) and other environmental issues, such as land use, water use and loss of biodiversity. Prevention of food waste is the highest p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mass Incidents In China
Large-scale incidents of civil disobedience in the People's Republic of China are described by the Chinese government as "mass incidents" (). Mass incidents are defined broadly as "planned or impromptu gathering that form because of internal contradictions", and may include public speeches or demonstrations, physical clashes, public airings of grievances, and other group behaviours that are seen as disrupting social stability. Through contemporary analysis of such events four key aspects of mass incidents have been identified "diversified participants, highly organised actions, easily escalated conflicts and thornier disputes to settle". Mass incidents have occurred in China because of the treatment of workers within state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and special economic zones (SEZs), the widening of income disparities, and issues associated with development projects, namely forced land acquisition and environmental degradation. Within the past few decades, the number of mass incide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Standing Committee Of The National People's Congress
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China (NPCSC) is the permanent body of the National People's Congress (NPC) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which is the highest organ of state power and the legislature of China. Although the parent NPC has superiority over the Standing Committee, and certain authorities are not delegated, the Standing Committee is generally viewed to have more power, albeit inferior to its parent, as the NPC convenes only once a year for two weeks, leaving its Standing Committee the only body that regularly drafts and approves decisions and laws. History In 1954, the 1st National People's Congress was held in Beijing, which became the statutory parliament of the People's Republic of China. The Standing Committee was established as its permanent body. The 1954 Constitution of the People's Republic of China stipulates that "the National People's Congress is the sole organ that exercises the legi ...

Goubuli
Goubuli, also sometimes transcribed as Go Believe (), is a brand of stuffed baozi from Tianjin, China. Founded in 1858, it is one of China's longest established brands. Each Goubuli bun has eighteen wrinkles. Etymology There are many explanations for the name Goubuli. The oft-quoted one relates to a poor village boy nicknamed Gouzhai. At 14, he became an apprentice at a food store. Thereafter, he set up his own shop specialising in selling steamed, stuffed baozi. His supposedly very delicious baozi soon gained immense popularity in a short period of time. As a result, Gouzhai became too preoccupied with his business to converse with his customers; so they started to complain, "Gouzhai does not talk to people" (which loosely translates as ). In another similar story, there was a boy named Gao Guiyou who had a terrible attitude and could ignore people for days if he was angered. Thus, he was named by his mother Goubuli (his nickname "Gou" with "Buli" meaning "ignores"). At 14, Gou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
