A Chinese official says harsh winter weather is threatening food production and adding to inflation pressures. Political pressures are also building on the government for its failure to anticipate and solve the problems. Daniel Schearf reports from Beijing.

A top Chinese disaster relief official was quoted by Hong Kong South China Morning Post newspaper Thursday as call it the worst natural disaster since the People's Republic was founded in 1949. Tens of millions of Chinese have been affected by the snow storm across the central and southern parts of the country. Hundreds of thousands are campaigning out in train stations hoping the snowed trains will start running again to take them home for the lunar New Year holiday. An unknown number of people are stranded on icy highways cut off from adequate heat and food. Officials say unusually low temperatures and heavy snowfalls have destroyed crops and greenhouses and are severely affecting winter food production. Chen XiWen is the deputy director of the Communist Party's leading financial team. "南方的雪害灾害对冬季农业生产的影响" Chen says the impact of the disaster in southern China on winter crop production is extremely serious. He says the impact on fresh vegetable and food has been catastrophic in some places. Daniel Schearf, for VOA News, Beijing.

Winter Weather Wreaks New Havoc in China
By Stephanie Ho
Beijing
01 February 2008
       

Trains began running again in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, but the number of people stranded in train stations and highways, or otherwise affected by the country's severe winter weather, is in the tens of millions. New snowfalls were reported in Central China Friday, and parts of the country are reported to be down to only a few days' worth of coal to fuel power plants. VOA's Stephanie Ho reports from Beijing.

The disaster caused by severe winter weather in China continues to grow. Officials say at least 60 people have died from weather-related causes around the country. Millions are stranded in trains or train stations, or on ice-bound highways. Planes have been grounded.

The heavy snowfalls have also disrupted the transportation of coal and food around the country, just as the weather has increased demand for power. Electricity lines are iced over and power service has been interrupted.

The heaviest snow in decades began falling in central, eastern and southern China two weeks ago.

Chinese leaders have been scrambling to show that the government is working hard to help its people. In the latest high-profile appearance, President Hu Jintao went to the coalfields in Shanxi province Thursday to urge greater production.

At a news conference Friday, the National Development and Reform Commission's Zhu Hongren announced the establishment of a new Emergency Management Command Center. He says the center's main priority will be to coordinate national disaster relief efforts among 23 government agencies and departments. The center also aims to coordinate the supply of essential items, such as coal, electricity and oil.

The storms are worsening the effects of a coal shortage that has already shuttered power plants and forced steel plants to cut production.

Zhu acknowledged that the weather disaster has taken a toll on the Chinese economy. But he says the negative effects will be short term.

The storm hit at a particularly bad time. Millions of Chinese are trying to return home to celebrate the country's biggest holiday, the Lunar New Year, which begins February 7.

The official says the authorities are trying to enable stranded passengers get home as early as possible. But he acknowledged that the weather is hampering these efforts.

Zhu urges local governments to ensure that migrant workers have a good holiday even if they cannot return home.

Initial estimates are that the disaster will cost China $7.5 billion (54 billion RMB). On Friday, the official Xinhua News Agency reported one of the first foreign donations: former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk, who maintains a residence in Beijing, has donated $50,000 to disaster relief efforts.

中国严冬威胁粮食生产料加剧通胀
记者： 施锐福
北京
2008年1月31日
       
一位中国官员说，严酷的寒冬天气威胁中国的粮食生产，并加剧通货膨胀。中国ZF也在感受到越来越大的政治压力，因为民众认为ZF没能预测，也没能解决出现的问题。

香港南华早报星期四援引中国救灾部门的一位高级官员的话说，目前的严重自然灾害，是1949年中华人民共和国成立以来最严重的。数以百万计的中国人在中部和南部地区受到灾害的影响。数以万计的人露宿火车站，希望因为大雪停开的火车能开动起来，他们可以回家过春节。还有一些数目不详的人被困在高速公路上，没有暖气，也没有食品。

有关形势十分严峻，以至于温家宝总理在过去的几天里视察了湖南和广东的火车站。他对被迫滞留火车站的人说，ZF在努力恢复交通，好让他们回家过年。但是，其他官员则劝导流动民工不要回家过年，最好留在工作地点。

中国官员说，罕见的严酷低温和大雪毁坏了作物和温室，严重影响冬季食品生产。中共财经领导小组办公室副主任陈锡文说：“灾害天气对华南地区的作物影响极其严重，在某些地区新鲜蔬菜水果的生产是灾难性的。”

在受灾最严重的地区，新鲜水果和蔬菜的价格已经翻番。这种形势加剧了去年早些时候食品价格上升的趋势。中国的消费者物价指数在2007年上升了将近5%，仅仅在去年12月就上升了6.5%，其中最主要的部分是食品价格上升。

两个星期来的结冰和大雪天气造成60多人死亡以及30多亿美元的直接经济损失。

中国的首席天气专家星期四对官方媒体说，大雪天气可能延续到农历新年之后。今年的春节是在2月7号。农历新年是中国最重要的节日。通常会有数以千万计的人这时候赶回家过年。
