China's former volleyball star Lang Ping has been invited to coach the US women's national team for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. But China's sports media said the offer would be difficult to accept.

  Lang, who is presently coaching a club team in Italy's professional volleyball league, told sina.com that she was considering the offer by the US Volleyball Association.

  "Right now I'm still considering their offer but I will answer them soon,”Lang said. "If I don't take the job, I have to give them enough time to find someone else."

  Lang, 45,won Olympic gold in 1984. She later coached the Chinese women to silver at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the 1998 World Championships.

  She has also coached at New Mexico University in the United States where her daughter was born and lives.

  The reaction in the Chinese media to Lang's job offer was swift(快捷的) and strong. Many say that if she takes the job it would be a direct challenge to China's goal of winning the women's volleyball medal at the Beijing Games.

  "As an unusual player and a spiritual leader of Chinese volleyball, Lang Ping's influence over China far exceeds(超越)that of an ordinary player,”says the China Olympic Committee website.

  "If Lang stands with the opponents(對(duì)手)during women's volleyball matches, you can rest assured that this will be difficult to accept for the new Chinese players, difficult for coach Chen Zhonghe, who was once her assistant, and difficult for all Chinese watching on television,”the site continued.(AGENCIES Feb 9,2005)

  A Chinese lawmaker from the booming eastern coastal province of Jiangsu has called the building of new countryside an issue of human rights in another sense.

  “The new countryside should be prosperous, civilized and harmonious, and enjoy a comprehensive development, ”Ding Dawei, a deputy to the 10th National People’s Congress(NPC), the Chinese legislature(立法機(jī)關(guān))now in an annual full session in Beijing, said on Thursday.

  According to Ding, also mayor of Nantong City in Jiangsu, the building of new countryside involves many human rights issues, such as farmers’ right to subsistence and development, as well as their rights to exercise democracy in village management.

  “Just as the central government has stressed, farmers’ will must be fully respected in building new countryside.Local governments can only guide them to do the correct thing, and must not force them to do anything they don’t want to,” said Ding.

  It might be easier to enrich the villages and farmers than to “help them achieve progress in the spiritual and political areas, ”Ding noted.

  “I think the most important thing is to truly strengthen the democratic management of village affairs, which will offer a fundamental guarantee for farmers’ rights to education, culture, entertainment, medicare and basic social security, ”he said.

  China’s 900 million farmers have gained the right to directly elect or oust their village heads since 1988, which gives them a bigger say in running village affairs.However, intervention in village elections by governments at higher levels, corrupt village heads abusing power, and the lack of transparency in village management often undermines rural democracy and even spark off rural unrest.
