This paper describes the present status and development of the Chinese agricultural documentation and information systems and the core role of the National AGRIS Center played in promoting the development of the systems. The emphasis has been placed in coordinating and establishing the agricultural databases, computer searching systems, information transmitting systems and international cooperations in China. It points out that the common strategic task facing all the developing countries in the establishment of national agricultural databases in each country and selectively contribute the valuable data to the international agricultural databases for information resources sharing of the world. Digitizing of Chinese characters for establishing the Chinese agricultural databases, the techniques of development and use in dealing the Chinese charactes as well as the technical line adopted for the construction of the Chinses agricultural databases have been also disucssed.

15 pages, This paper studies Chinese grape growers’ time discounting and its implications for the adoption of technology that can reduce the negative effects of increasing precipitation. Using primary data collected in Xinjiang Province, we undertook a contingent valuation of rain covers that protect fruit from rain and estimated a discounted utility model using these data. Using a hierarchical Bayesian approach, we find that local grape growers discount the future very heavily, with a discount rate of 0.17 per year, which is almost four times higher than the Chinese market interest rate. Farmers also tend to underestimate the benefits of adopting covers, with their purchase decisions appearing to largely depend on their past actual losses rather than future anticipated losses. These findings have broader implications for policies promoting proactive adaptation in response to likely increased rainfall in the region. Targeting farmers who give lower weight to events far off in the future and understanding that many farmers may tend only to make adoption decisions that have strong short-term benefits could improve the efficacy of climate policies that target agricultural technologies.

Analysis of an online social microblog, Sina Weibo. Researchers found that "the poor and rich areas were more willing to behave immorally, and the relation between GDP and collective moral motivation was curved. Also, normal people were less ethical when prices increased than when incomes decreased. Ecological construction and the value added by industries which used more farmers and off-farm workers were both correlated with morality. We also found a dark side to science and technological innovation, which harmed collective morality when areas grew richer."
