Asian Americans 'screaming out for help' as abuse surges: congressional hearing www.reuters.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers, professors and actor Daniel Dae Kim said the Asian-American community was reeling from a year of heightened anti-Asian attacks in a congressional hearing held just days after the killing of six Asian women in Georgia.
Thursday’s hearing, which was scheduled before the attack, aimed to examine a spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans, which rose by 149% in 2020 in 16 major cities compared with 2019, according to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism.
“Our community is bleeding, we are in pain and for the last year we’ve been screaming out for help,” Democratic Representative Grace Meng told the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
Experts have linked the surge to the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China, after some Americans, including Republican former President Donald Trump, started calling the coronavirus the “China virus,” “the China plague” and even “kung flu.”
A 21-year-old white man has been charged with killing eight people, six of them Asian women, at three spas in the Atlanta area on Tuesday. Police are investigating motives and have not ruled out the possibility that the attacks were provoked, at least in part, by anti-immigrant or anti-Asian sentiments.
The spike in anti-Asian American incidents in the past year included people being slashed with a box cutter, lit on fire and verbal harassment, said Steve Cohen, the subcommittee’s Democratic chair.
“All the pandemic did was exacerbate latent anti-Asian prejudices that have a long, long and ugly history in America,” said Cohen.
Kim, best known for starring in the television series “Lost” and “Hawaii Five-0,” called on lawmakers to pass legislation to fund groups that provide counseling to victims of hate crimes and improve data collection for hate crime reporting.
“What happens right now and over the course of the coming months will send a message for generations to come as to whether we matter, as to whether the country we call home chooses to erase us or include us,” said Kim.
In the closely divided House, the hearing quickly lapsed into partisan politics.
In a sprawling opening speech, Republican lawmaker Chip Roy said the subject matter was important, but then moved on to attacking China’s treatment of its Uighur community and handling of the coronavirus.
He added he hoped the hearing would address how affirmative action policies by U.S. universities hurt Asian Americans.
Repeatedly, Democratic lawmakers referred to Roy’s comments in their own statements.
“Your president and your party and your colleagues can talk about issues with any other country that you want, but you don’t have to do it by putting a bull’s eye on the back of Asian Americans across this country, on our grandparents, on our kids,” said Meng.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said U.S. President Joe Biden, who will be meeting with Asian-American leaders on Friday in Atlanta, was determined to be “part of the solution, not part of the problem.”

Severe weather kills over half million livestock in Mongolia in 2 months www.xinhuanet.com

March 18 (Xinhua) -- Extreme wintry weather, known as dzud in Mongolia, killed a total of 540,400 livestock across the country in the first two months of this year, marking a threefold increase from the same period last year, according to data released by the country's National Statistics Office (NSO) on Thursday.
Dzud is a Mongolian term to describe the frigid winter that comes after a dry summer and causes numerous livestock to die of starvation or cold.
Over half of Mongolia's all 21 provinces have now been suffering dzud or near-dzud conditions, according to the country's Food and Agriculture Ministry.
Around 85 percent of the dead animals were goats and sheep, the NSO said.
Animal husbandry is the backbone of the landlocked country's economy as nearly 40 percent of its nomad population depend on animal husbandry for livelihood.
Mongolia had 67.1 million heads of livestock at the end of 2020, according to the statistical agency.
Thousands of herders lose their animals almost every year due to dzud. In 2016, more than 1 million farm animals died from extreme weather conditions. Enditem

Heads of Mongolia-Russia intergovernmental commission meet virtually www.akpress.com

An online meeting of the heads of the Mongolian and Russian parts of the Mongolia-Russia Intergovernmental Commission on trade, economic, scientific and technical cooperation was held on March 17, Montsame reports.
At the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia S.Amarsaikhan expressed his satisfaction with the development of traditional friendly relations and cooperation between the two neighbors, even in the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mongolia received the first batch of Sputnik-V vaccines and started immunizing its citizens. The pandemic can be curbed with joint efforts, said Mr. Amarsaikhan.
As part of the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Russia, it was proposed to involve Russian businessmen in Mongolian industrial and trade forums, and to organize joint business forums and exhibitions in major Russian cities.
The meeting discussed bilateral relations and cooperation in trade, economy, transportation, energy, industry, construction, agriculture, environment and humanities. The parties also noted that the project on the construction of gas pipeline connecting Russia and China through the territory of Mongolia is in full swing. They also stressed that works and events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations are being organized in accordance with the joint plan.

Locomotives for Mongolia’s new coal railway www.news.mn

Engineering, procurement and construction contractor Bodi International has entered into an agreement with Progress Rail, a Caterpillar Company, to purchase 16 EMD locomotives for Mongolia’s Tavantolgoi-Gashuunsukhait Railway project.
Construction on the 155-mile Tavantolgoi-Gashuunsukhait Railway, which will be operated by Mongolian-government-owned Tavan Tolgoi Railway Co., is expected to be completed in 2022.
The new locomotives are designed for the 1,520 mm (4 feet, 9.84 inch) broad gauge line and will be powered by 16-cyclinder EMD 710 Series units rated at 4,500 BHP (3,355 kW). The locos are compliant with International Union of Railways and EU Stage IIIA emissions standards. Progress Rail anticipates locomotive deliveries to begin in 2022.
The SD70ACe/LW for Mongolia is similar to units built for Russia, and competes directly with the Wabtec (GE) 4,400-hp unit for international markets sometimes offered under the model name TE33A.

Mongolia counts almost 1000 snow leopards www.news.mn

Mongolia has released the results of its 2020 nationwide snow leopard survey, showing that there are 953 of these adult big cats in the country.
WWF-Mongolia, and partners including the Snow Leopard Conservation Foundation, the Snow Leopard Trust, and the Irbis Mongolia Centre, have successfully completed the large-scale study to assess the current range and the population size of the animal in Mongolia with support from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism of Mongolia.
The assessment, initiated in 2017, was completed with more than 40 field surveys, involving over 500 people: researchers from the partner organizations, the National University of Mongolia and the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, rangers from the State Protected Areas, and local people.
The survey covers 406800 square meters area; in addition, scientists installed cameras on 29 mountains which provided photographic evidence of the elusive big cats in their natural habitat.
The effort is part of a larger push to understand the distribution and population status of the snow leopard across the entire South Gobi landscape, parts of which have been identified by the Mongolian government as a priority area to be secured as a habitat for the snow leopard under the Global Snow Leopard & Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP). This is a very large landscape; in total, it’s some 327, 000 km2 and includes parts of three Mongolian provinces.
Known as a shy and mysterious big cat which is also incredibly well camouflaged, the snow leopard is an indicator of the health of the ecosystem. The presence of a healthy population of the big cat in Mongolia shows that high mountain ecosystems remain healthy, which is critical as they are the source of water for millions of people downstream. The snow leopard is found in 12 countries.

Russia pledges to invest $600mn in joint gold refinery in Kyrgyzstan www.rt.com

Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken part in the opening ceremony of a gold processing plant at the Jerooy mine in northwestern Kyrgyzstan. The project was developed by Russia’s Alliance Group in cooperation with VTB bank.
“The Talassky mining complex is one of the largest joint projects that has been successfully implemented,” Putin said via video link, describing the project as vital for relations between the neighboring states.
According to the president, the project in the Central Asian country will see “record volumes” of investment totaling $600 million.
“The latest technologies and equipment deployed in the project comply with environmental regulation,” Putin said. “This will enable the enterprise to produce up to five tons of gold per year efficiently, without harm to the environment.”
The former Soviet republic has been trying to develop its second-largest gold deposit since the 1990s. Cooperation with American, Canadian, British and Austrian investors failed to materialize.
Russian companies won the contract back in 2015. By launching the construction of the refinery, Alliance Group accelerated the development of the Jerooy mining project, which reportedly holds around 90 tons of gold and 25 tons of silver.
The refining plant was expected to start operating last year, but was attacked during unrest preceding the emergence of current president Sadyr Japarov. The attack reportedly caused more than $10 million in losses for the Russian firms.

Fitch upgrades China’s growth rate due to strong export recovery & global demand www.rt.com

Ratings agency Fitch revised China’s GDP growth rate projection from 8% to 8.4% on Thursday, citing strong export recovery and global demand.
The country’s economic rebound to 6.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020 was described as “a remarkable achievement in the context of the pandemic.” Fitch said it reflected China’s success in containing the virus, as well as strong investment growth and a boost to net trade as exports rebounded very rapidly from mid-year and services imports collapsed.
China is the only major economy that is starting to normalize macroeconomic policy settings, where the fiscal deficit is being scaled back and credit growth is slowing as the economic recovery matures, said Fitch’s chief economist, Brian Coulton.
The agency has also updated its forecast on the global GDP growth – from 5.3% in its December’s projection to 6.1%. It said the main driver of the global forecast revision was the much larger than expected fiscal stimulus package recently passed in the United States.
The $1.9 trillion stimulus represents more than 2.5% of global GDP, according to Coulton. “The pandemic is not over, but it is starting to look like we have entered the final phase of the economic crisis,” he said.

Saikhanbayar, for his part, spoke highly of the achievements China has made in national development and its fight against COVID-19.
Stressing that Mongolia is willing to enhance mutual trust and cooperation with China, the Mongolian defense minister said he is ready to push forward bilateral military relations to a higher level.
