Privacy Protection
Guangming Daily November 27
Recent news reports reveal that the official websites of several universities in northeast China’s Jilin and central China’s Hubei and Hunan Provinces have leaked the personal information of their students. This news comes in the wider context that even some local governments are being accused of extensively leaking their citizens’private information.
In most of these cases the leaks took place unknowingly， a result of negligence on the part of local authorities and organizations. A detailed report is now necessary on how to improve supervision by relevant authorities. The leaks are not being classified as a technical failure， and are currently being treated as a consequence of poor knowledge and a general misunderstand- ing of privacy awareness.
Internet users in China are largely unaware of the risks inherent in making private information available online， and many are even willing to exchange personal information for the services of certain websites. In some cases these decisions can lead to economic loss. When public departments unwittingly leak citizens’ private information， such as ID numbers， basic living allowance and affordable housing allocation， the information can be appropriated by criminals for illegal gain at the expense of the affected individuals. According to the Internet Society of China， the economic losses stemming from this kind of information fraud caused by personal information leaks reached 91.5 billion yuan in 2016. With electronic payment growing rapidly， the risk of privacy leaks and the scale of the resulting harm is set to rise. Public departments must take the lead to raise awareness of privacy protection.
Woes of Private Hospitals
China Newsweek November 27
Wei Zexi， a 21-year old Chinese college student from Shaanxi， died in 2016 after receiving inappropriate experimental treatment. Others have died too as a result of medical negligence. The common theme in these cases is that the victims were treated in private hospitals connected in some way to Putian， a city in southeast China’s Fujian Province. Wei’s case has raised public awareness of Putian’s quacks. But the problems of private hospitals have still not been fully addressed. Countless private hospitals which claim to specialize in the treatment of male diseases continue to entrap male patients.
In the past， doctors based in Putian amassed personal fortunes through illegal online advertisement， and conducting illegitimate medical practices. Over the past 30 years， many have come together to form medical companies， but the reality of the treatments they offer remain the same， their medical practices resembling sinister plots against their patients.
China is still struggling to adequately reform its medical system， with the public medical and healthcare system unable to meet growing demand. Private hospitals should represent an important supplement to the public medical system， but they fail to provide a safe and creditable alternative， as the cases of medical negligence and fraud continue to surface.
At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China， President Xi Jinping made clear in his report that the principal contradiction facing Chinese society is that between unbalanced and inadequate development， and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life. To meet the expectations of the people， it is crucial that the government should address the fundamental problems related to social governance. Medical reform is an important aspect of this work.
Sustainable Development of Rice Terraces
Beijing Youth Daily November 27
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization approved the addition of south China’s rice terraces to the list of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems （GIAHS） on November 24.
The GIAHS concept is comparable to UNESCO’s well-known World Heritage program. As well as seeking to preserve， maintain and protect important cultural sites， GIAHS aims to establish sustainable methods of preservation， and to boost the prospects of the human actors who play a critical role in the future of this agricultural heritage. The Longji Rice Terraces in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are a typical example. This traditional agricultural method represents an ancient， natural mode of farming， untainted by the polluting practices inherent in most modern techniques.
The rice terraces’ scenic landscape have attracted both domestic and overseas visitors in huge numbers in recent years. In 2015， local tourism revenues hit 4.62 billion yuan， as 5.53 million visitors descended on the terraces. Yet this boom poses a threat to the future of the landscape. The tourism industry consumes vast amounts of water， mostly diverted from the farming processes necessary to maintain the rice terraces. Moreover， as the income available from tourism greatly exceeds agricultural revenues， more and more villagers are abandoning the arduous work on the terraces and are instead opening hotels and restaurants. If the current trend continues， then neither the local tourism boom nor the agricultural heritage can survive. Local people need to fi nd a sustainable solution to preserve their idyllic landscape and improve their livelihood.
