Note:
(a) The English version of BBC has a report which is similar but broader--rather than focusing on China.
Richard Black, 'Millions at risk' as deltas sink. Sept. 21, 2009.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8266500.stm
The Black's report includes a table that lists Tone. There is a river around Tokyo called
Tone River 利根川 Tonegawa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_River
When Dr. Tonegawa Susumu 利根川 進 was awarded Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1987, my Japanese colleague was amused by the fact that there was actually a river in Japan called Tonegawa. This is it.
(b) The reports cite
Albert Kettner, Press release: World's river deltas sinking due to human activity, says new study led by CU-Boulder; 24 of world's 33 major deltas sinking, 85 percent have experienced severe flooding recently. Sept. 20, 2009.

My comment: I was surprised that New Orleans and its surroundings are under sea level. Today I am surprised that much of Pearl Delta is under sea level.
(c) This research is not conducted on Taiwan.

"四中全会已于9月18号闭幕,但是让外界感觉诧异的是,中共并没有对外公布习近平被推举为军委副主席的消息
"金钟为主编的 [香港] 开放杂志在最近一期发表了来自北京的一篇报导,说习近平今年夏天曾经向政治局常委致函,信的大意是,自己来中央工作不堪重负,想来想去还是觉得在地方工作更适合, 也就是说,他不想做下一任接班人。
