China raised the drought emergency alert level Thursday from orange to red, the highest level, in response to the worst drought to hit some parts of the country in half a century, according to a State Council meeting.

The central government decided to earmark another 300 million yuan (US$44 million) as drought relief fund in additional to 100 million yuan already allocated. The fund will be used to buy agricultural machinery and other production materials.

Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao have ordered all-out efforts to combat the severe drought in the country's vast wheat-growing area to ensure a good summer harvest, according to a State Council meeting held Thursday.

Local authorities should make drought relief work their top priority, said Vice Premier Hui Liangyu at the meeting.

Local governments should strengthen water management in farmland, adopt effective measures to relief drought-hit areas and speed up the construction of irrigation systems for crops, Hui said.

Timely financial and material support should be directed to affected areas to ensure their basic water needs are met, he said.

Rainfall in most parts of north and central China was 50 to 80 percent less than normal. That has affected 155 million mu (10.33 million hectares) of crops by February 5, according to data released by the Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.

The rare drought, which began in November, has left 4.29 million people and 2.07 million livestock in shortage of proper drinking water, according to the data by the headquarter office.

The drought is one of the worst in 50 years for major grain producing province of Henan, the meteorological agencies said.

The current dry spell is the worst drought for Henan province since 1951, with at least 2.8 million hectares of farmland being affected and 130,000 residents suffering from water shortages.

Shanxi province has not seen effective rainfall since November, experiencing its worst drought since 1961 with 1.06 million people affected and 190,000 heads of livestock facing water shortages. It issued an orange alert, its second-highest alert level, for the drought on Wednesday.

More than half of the farmland in Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces have been affected by the dry weather, the MOA estimated.

Similarly, Beijing has not seen rain for more than 100 days, a condition considered rare for the past 38 years.

No rain has been forecast for the coming two days with the dry spell continuing in the northern regions, the National Meteorological Center said.

But light rainfall is forecast for Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Anhui and Hubei provinces on Feb 7 and 8, which is expected to offer some reprieve to the severe situation, the center said.

Government at all levels should give anti-drought work a priority in an effort to stabilize grain production, increase farmers' income and ensure agricultural production, the State Council said.

Efforts should also go to build emergency water resources projects and carry out artificial precipitation to alleviate water shortage and ensure drinking water for both people and livestock. The Ministry of Water Resources also said it would enhance supervision and launch emergency plan when necessary.

The State Council also sent several teams of specialists to eight drought-hit regions to aid residents with technical expertise and relief supplies. The Ministry of Agriculture has already sent 12 working teams of experts to the drought-hit provinces, to instruct farmers on drought relief work.

Plant diseases and pest prevention were discussed and local governments were advised to supervise and prevent the spread of severe animal diseases.

Efforts should also be made to monitor or combat forestry fire, upgrade anti-disaster ability and avoid casualty, the State Council said.

Chinese police detained two people Thursday accused of distributing a doctored diabetes drug linked to two deaths in the country's far west, though they are still hunting for the mastermind of the plot.

The medicine contained six times the normal amount of a chemical ingredient used to lower blood sugar, and is believed to have been distributed at many places across the country, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The case highlights China's shoddy record in food and drug safety. Last year, at least six babies died and nearly 300,000 were sickened by infant formula contaminated with an industrial chemical that can cause kidney failure.

Xinhua said the two were detained in Liaoning province in northeastern China in connection with the sale of the diabetes drug. tamper

Xinhua said one of the men arrested is the brother of the main suspect in the case, Li Dong, a native of Liaoning. Li Dong is still at large.

The diabetes drug killed two people in the far western Xinjiang region last month and sent nine others to the hospital.

Authorities found 10,000 bottles of the medicine and arrested five suspects in Xinjiang, Xinhua said. One man was found selling the drug from a rented house, where he gave free lectures and performed blood sugar tests.

Another 4,800 bottles were found in western China's Qinghai province, and 215 bottles in southwestern Sichuan province, according to China National Radio and government Web site china.com.cn. Most of the medicine has been recovered by authorities, reports said, and none of it appears to have been exported.
