BEIJING, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Equality has become a catchphrase when Chinese lawmakers mull over two major moves in the history of China's legislative progress.     Chinese rural and urban people are about to get equal representation in lawmaking bodies. It means farmers will have the same say in the country's decision-making process as urbanites.     At the five-day legislative session beginning Tuesday, members of national legislature discussed to give rural and urban people equal representation in people's congresses.     A draft amendment to the Electoral Law was tabled at the bimonthly meeting of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee. It requires that both rural and urban areas adopt the same ratio of deputies to the people's congresses.     The electoral system is the foot stone of democracy, and the principle of equality is a prerequisite to guarantee people's democratic rights.     The Electoral Law was enacted in 1953 and completely revised in1979. It then underwent four minor amendments.     Senior people are still nostalgic about the bean-counting way of electing their representatives in villages, which was the country's primitive mode of democracy after New China was founded in 1949.     Candidates who stood for election as deputies to a people's congress were elected if they received more than half of the beans.     Later voters began to use ballots.     After the last amendment in 1995, the law stipulates that each rural deputy represents a population four times that in urban areas.     That means in China, every 960,000 rural residents and every 240,000 urbanites are represented by one rural and urban NPC deputy respectively.     Critics say this can be interpreted as "farmers only enjoy a quarter of the suffrage of their urban counterparts."     During previous amendments in the 1980s, the difference was even as great as eight times.     But Li Shishi, director of the Commission for Legislative Affairs of the NPC Standing Committee, said such a provision is "in accordance with the country's political system and social conditions of that time" and is "completely necessary" as the rural population is much more than that of cities and an equal ratio of rural and urban representation will mean an excessive number of rural deputies.     Rural population made up almost 90 percent of the country's total in 1949. With the process of urbanization, the ratio of urban and rural residents was about 45.7 to 54.3 last year.     Li said that with rapid urbanization and rural economic development, the time is right for equal representation, which is conducive to "mobilizing people's enthusiasm and creativity" and the development of democracy.     Zhou Hanhua, a research fellow with the Law Institute under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the draft amendment is inline with social change, and "from the legal perspective it shows that all rights are equal under the law."     Obviously, the change will be a significant political progress and it is in line with the constitutional spirit that "everyone in the nation is equal."     It also reflects the transition of the country's urban and rural society.     According to the law, the number of deputies to the NPC is limited within 3,000, and the distribution of NPC deputies is decided by the NPC Standing Committee, the top legislature.     The draft amendment says the quotas of NPC deputies are distributed to 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions on the basis of their population, which ensures equal representation among regions and ethnic groups.     Another big issue that lawmakers deliberate at the session this week is to grant "equal compensation" to the victims of traffic, mining and industrial accidents as well as medical negligence, among others, regardless of the victims' identity, status, income and regional disparity.     The proposal is specified in the draft on tort liability, which is deliberated by members of the NPC Standing Committee for the third time.     Farmer victims normally get much less compensation than their urban counterparts. And there are often disputes from "different prices paid to different lives."     At the session, lawmakers consider to set the same compensation for all victims of an accident that results in many deaths.     It will be a significant step if the draft law on tort liability is adopted by the legislature, as it ensures equal rights for each Chinese and shows respect for every human life.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in China on Sunday night for a four-day visit to the world's most populous country.     The visit by the leader of the largest developed country to the biggest developing one has roused great interest among observers as China-U.S. relationship has always been one of the most important and complicated bilateral ties in the world.     During the first leg of his Asian tour in Japan, Obama said the United States welcomes China's appearance on the world stage, and does not seek to contain China. He said that "the rise of a strong and prosperous China can be a source of strength for the community of nations," striking a positive keynote for his forthcoming China visit.     His Chinese counterpart President Hu Jintao has also said that China-U.S. relations have significance and influence far beyond their bilateral ties, and a sound Sino-U.S. relationship is not only in the fundamental interests of the two nations and peoples, but also conducive to peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia Pacific region and the world at large.     China has always maintained that, as the biggest developing and the developed countries, China and the United States share broad common interests on the vital issues of peace and development, and shoulder great responsibilities.     During a media interview before his Asia tour, Obama said "on critical issues, whether climate change, economic recovery, nuclear non-proliferation, it's very hard to see how we succeed or China succeeds in our respective goals without working together."     The remarks, however, also hinted at the difficulty of bilateral cooperation on thorny issues.     For instance, the trade spats between the two countries have recently flared up, with the U.S. government imposing anti-dumping duties on imports of poultry, tires and steel pipes from China. China criticized the measures as protectionist.     The two countries are also at odds on the issue of climate change. As the world's two largest green-house gas emitters, China and the U.S. have both pledged commitments, but their different status in economic development and interpretation of the principle of "differentiated responsibilities" have made substantial consensus difficult.     However, the Obama administration has repeatedly indicated that the two sides would not "allow any single issue to detract from our broader overall relationship," which is too important to go astray.     The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a major U.S. think tank, said in a report, "U.S.-China partnership is indispensable for addressing many of the main challenges of the 21st century ... The premise for U.S.-China relations going forward must be a shared commitment to working together to promote the global good."     To share significant global responsibilities, China and the United States should view and handle their bilateral ties from a strategic and overall perspective. Both sides should promote dialogue, expand cooperation, respect each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, and take care of each other's core interests.     Obama once quoted a famous ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius to underscore the importance of resolving disagreements between the two nations through talks.     "A trail through the mountains, if used, becomes a path in a short time, but, if unused, becomes blocked by grass in an equally short time," he said.     It is the shared hope that both sides could blaze a path towards the future, so as not to let the "grass" of suspicion and difference block the way. China also hopes Obama's visit will leave fresh and impressive footprints on this path.     The United States has changed its China policy from isolation, containment, to engagement and today's relationship of positive and comprehensive cooperation. This represents a profound change in the world arena.     As far as both countries keep to the right orientation of the development of bilateral ties, enhance mutual trust, expand cooperation and take care of each other's key interests, they will ensure the steady development of bilateral ties and contribute further to world peace, stability and prosperity.
