SHANGHAI, May 18 (Reuters) - Chinese air pollution rose in April for the first time since December, official data showed on Monday, with analysts attributing the rebound to the resumption of economic activity following the coronavirus outbreak. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) said concentrations of hazardous airborne particles known as PM2.5 rose 3.1% in April to an average of 33 micrograms per cubic metre in 337 cities across the country, the first year-on-year increase since December when PM2.5 rose by 10%. Concentrations of ground-level ozone, sulphur dioxide and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] nitrogen dioxide also rose over the month, the official data showed. The worst performing cities in April were Changchun, Harbin and Shenyang, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] the capitals of the three northeastern provinces, the data showed. In contrast, in the smog-prone region of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei PM2.5 fell by a quarter to 39 micrograms in April, even though factories had reopened. PM2.5 dropped by 35.4% in that region the first four months of the year, the data showed. Liu Bingjiang, an official in charge of air pollution at the MEE, said last week that the resumption of industrial activity could cause pollution to rise by a certain amount but it wasn't the primary cause of a spike in April. He said straw burning in the three northeastern provinces of Jilin, Heilongjiang and Liaoning had increased by eight times compared with the same period of last year, and sandstorms had also caused air [http://imageshack.us/photos/quality quality] to deteriorate in some regions. Average PM2.5 fell 12.5% in the 337 cities over the first four months, with lockdowns, factory closures and transport restrictions leading to a steep decline in emissions, mostly in February and March. "Air pollutant levels plummeted during the national lockdown in February, bottomed out in early March and have now overshot their pre-crisis levels," the Helsinki-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) said in a report published on Monday. "Rebounding air pollutant levels are a demonstration of the importance of prioritising green economy and clean energy in the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis," it added. Now that the economy has reopened there is a risk that China, by aiming for a fast economic rebound, will further damage the environment, CREA said. "Due to emphasis on GDP targets and on construction and manufacturing projects to hit those targets, China's recoveries have tended to be 'dirty', with negative economic shocks followed by surges in fossil fuel consumption, air pollution and CO2 emissions," it said. The most obvious recent example was a 2008 [http://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=stimulus%20package stimulus package] that ushered in an unprecedented wave of construction projects and record levels of coal, cement and steel consumption, CREA said.

Chinese Cyber Crime

China has recently fallen under international scrutiny due to their government's unique stance on the internet and its citizens. While the House of Representatives pushes for increased control over internet usage within the United States in an attempt to curb cyber crime, China has moved well beyond talks and has attempted to begin shutting down what they see as a very serious problem. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); International Cyber Crime Stemming From China 2011 has been a busy year for the FBI as they are not only working to stem the wave of hacking issues within the United States, but worrying about a rise in fraudulent charges coming out of the Heilongjiang province within China. By April of 2011, the FBI informed United States businesses to be wary of transactions which were coming out of this remote area in China near the Russian border. Over 11 million dollars had already been transferred to these fraudulent companies. Authorities believe that this current ring of [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cyber%20crimes,creativecommons cyber crimes] are the result of U.S. employees having their account information stolen or lost, and then being utilized by cyber criminals in the Chinese provinces. Due to the exponential increase in internet users and the crime that accompanies them, both United States and Chinese authorities are struggling to keep up with rising crime rates. Recent problems have arisen with the jurisdiction of various national and international bodies in preventing and punishing criminals operating online. Chinese Cyber Crime Turns To Subtlety These blatant attacks are not the only problem coming from the recent increases of cyber crime stemming from the nation of China. With huge leaps in internet access, and very few resources to police them, there is a rather large opportunity for some of the more subtle methods of cyber crime. The most popular include 'trojan' viruses and 'phishing' crimes. Just as with their namesake, Trojan viruses are downloaded under false pretenses and then wreak havoc on whichever computer they were placed on. Generally, the purpose of this malware is to 'phish' for sensitive information including banking numbers, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] addresses, or social security numbers. Cyber Crime Defense In China The major problem of Chinese cyber crime is not the advanced nature of the malware, phishing programs, and other illegal behavior. The problem is the lack of efficient anti-virus programs and exploitable software, such as the Baidu browser plugin. Some studies have shown as much as 20% of viruses, malware, and Trojans bypass traditional Chinese anti-virus software. Researches from around the world are combining their efforts in an attempt to universalize the software designed to prevent and track cyber crime. Currently, German anti-virus software may not work on websites housed on servers deep within China. This leaves highly exploitable loopholes which have become a boon to criminals who are carrying out their crimes over the internet.
