Years of Poems and Spirits

The Henan AIDS problem:
Period: 1995 started survey, 2001 peak, as far back as late 1970s (WP, Hu Han Han)
Location: 上蔡县文楼村
1. Government knows about the blood sales problem in 1998-99, passed law (Hu HH) Average life expect. (Li Huiying)
2. News media bring the topic to the open; The first report lost his job (Hu HH)
3. A doctor: 高耀洁, 桂希恩
4. 卖血钱被计入农户年收入: 一名村领导来到了田某的弟弟家，一进门便问“你家的年收入是多少…，对呀，这不也算年收入里的项目吗？加上，那就算你家1500元了啊！”http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2005-03-18/13556124341.shtml, http://www.cnhubei.com/200503/ca708003.htm
5. 2007 still has blood trade. Institutional problem: 但在“遵章守法”中利用了制度缺陷，追究起来就不大容易。血头血霸屡屡出现在血站成为“献血”组织者，有献血任务单位重金购买“献血证”等等，都是这样明目张胆。然而，只要某个环节被卡住了，卖血就难以进行。

6. Basis for estimating size of current blood trade: 揭阳惊曝大“血”案, 这些现象被媒体曝光后，引起揭阳当地政府部门的重视，当即采取打击整改行动, http://www.p5w.net/news/gncj/200704/t880363.htm
Similarly, 广东省卫生厅昨天通报，针对广州某媒体报道的广州血液中心门口存在非法卖血交易行为，http://www.qmyyw.com/jk/main/news_show.aspx?id=20080326000125
Compared to earlier time:
因此，因有偿献血河南HIV总感染人数应该是高限估计为47万左右，低限估计为14万左右，再加上这个时候仍存在的单采血站和大量数不清的地下血站，估计平均HIV感染总人数最低应该在30万左右。因此，我们认为，河南在19 94年至1996年期间，因有偿献血造成的HIV感染总人数应该在30万人左右。

吉林68名村民因卖血感染艾滋病多人死亡: 后来，政府以社会定向捐赠的方式准备捐给68名患病者每人4万元，建议原告撤诉，走和解程序。2004年的68名艾滋病患者索赔案以原告撤诉告终。

7. AIDS problem: 我国现有艾滋病病毒感染者和病人约６５万人，其中艾滋病病人约７．５万人，因艾滋病死亡约２．５万人，２００５年新发生艾滋病病毒感染者约６万－８万人。http://news.cn.yahoo.com/060125/260/2gszx.html
2007年新发艾滋病病毒感染者5万 http://news.163.com/07/1129/13/3UFH97JF0001124J.html, “我国艾滋病流行特点”
根据河南省卫生厅去年发表的统计数字，中国人口最多的省份万分之四的居民被检查出爱滋病毒阳性，这个九千二百六十五万人口的大省有三十七万人携带爱滋病毒。联合国昨日向北京发出历来最严重的警告, http://bbs.muwen.com/topic727/727460.htm
同一时间，卫生部统计显示：还有１８. ７% 的传播途径不祥。http://club.beelink.com.cn/dispbbs.asp?boardid=67&id=157072
8. AIDS policies and official personal visits: 第二部分，中国艾滋病防治工作的进展。国务院总理温家宝和副总理吴仪邀请艾滋病致孤儿童到中南海做客，发挥了表率作用，各级政府防治经费投入力度进一步加大. http://news.qq.com/a/20071129/002934.htm
9. Law delayed: 《献血法》于1997年12月29日公布，自1998年10月1日起执行。而林峰在清水河县医院的卖血行为发生在1999年4月到2000年8月之间。清水河县医院的人员为此抱怨说，对于《献血法》，他们只是前几年在电视里看过新闻，但根本不知具体是怎么一回事。“我们直到2003年年底，才收到上级卫生部门下发的《献血法》及内蒙古自治区卫生厅制定的《内蒙古自治区临床用血规范》等各种文件，5年后才读到这些法规，什么都晚了。”
非法采血制造的艾滋血祸, http://yzdsb.hebnews.cn/20050131/ca457707.htm
10. ，“卖一次血４００毫升给１００多元，对于咱农民来说是个不小的数字。”每袋血医院会有３００元左右的收入。把采供血机构作为盈利创收的第三产业，出现了‘建血站、采浆站热’要充分发挥河南人口资源的优势，推动我省卫生系统的改革。”http://club.beelink.com.cn/dispbbs.asp?boardid=67&id=157072
11. The legal perspective: 对于官司的公正性我们无法把握，农垦法院的财政支出都是靠农垦局来支配的。对此，周斌律师表示坚决不能退让，并准备必要时向全社会公开本案例对此问题进行讨论. http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2005-11-30/12158448683.shtml
12. Lack of blood donation: 河北多地：无偿献血在行政指标下变味儿, 现场目击：校长找来卖血人给老师当“替身”, 中小学校长：上头派的指标我有啥办法, 教育局局长：献血这个“政治任务”我也头痛, http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2004-11-27/08144361081s.shtml, 中华人民共和国献血法: http://www.dqt.com.cn/flfg/fgzx1/ssf05/ssf8.htm
13. Wen broke AIDS taboo.

China Leadership Monitor @ Hoover Inst. http://www.hoover.org/publications/clm/

Notes from meetings with Susan:
1. How to engage China literature with the overall comparative literature: what the latter says and how does that apply/relate to the former;
2. Sarat/Scheingold ISBN 9780195141177, 2001:
Globlization, “dis-empowering the state”, the rise of the democratic force, “cause lawyering”
** Decentralized law - multiple sovereign
Critique: post-modern, 1st world perspective, China is an exception or the rule?
3. The 80s and early 90s: Naughton’s book, 84-92 dual track pricing system,
SW: state was strong, economy was going up until 89; After 89, 治理整顿/Ratification(?), fixed the dual track model, surpressed corruption (?)–problem with rentier (“官倒”）behavior.
4. Muller/Seligson, value and democracy (?) Common: value-> democracy, argument: the other direction
5. About Tian An Men: SW party not ready for highlevel power struggle.
6 ** Interesting: the political campaign (regular study) after 89 was a farce. SW: how was 批林批孔？Was there a populous awakening?
7. Dietrich Rueschemeyer “Capitalist Development and Democracy” argues beyond B. Moore. It is no longer bourgeoisie that matters. It is the poor/working class(?)
8. 1994 fiscal reform recentralized. 2002-04 additional centralization. Today: NOTHING decentralized.
9. Challenge to poli sci: “operationalize” (i.e. measurement)

Questions/To followup
Modernization theory (what is it? How does it relate to China)
