China is planning a considerable expansion of its foreign aid programs with a particular focus on infrastructure projects in countries along the land and maritime Silk Road trading routes, government officials said on Monday. The country is planning to initiate a number of strategically important aid projects to help improve transportation, energy and telecommunications in those countries, according to the Ministry of Commerce, which is responsible for administrating the country's foreign aid programs. Projects involving construction and improvement of roads, railways, ports and airports are already being implemented in countries including Laos, Myanmar, Nepal and in Central Asia, Yu Zirong, deputy director-general of the foreign aid department at the ministry, told a news conference in Beijing. "China's growing future foreign aid program will be tilted toward neighboring countries and those in the Silk Road region," Yu said. The planned shift in direction for Chinese foreign aid is a direct result of President Xi Jinping's proposed national strategy to revive the centuries-old trading routes connecting Asia and Europe, experts said. The newly created 40 billion yuan ($6.5 billion) Silk Road fund and the Beijing-initiated Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank are expected to facilitate China's foreign aid programs in the future, they said. "Such a shift indicates that China will be more inclined to offer assistance to Asia and neighboring countries," said Wang Luo, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation. "It does not mean that the percentage of China's foreign aid to Africa will drop. It just means that Asia and countries along the Silk Road will get a greater share as China grows its aid spending," she said. Africa has been the largest recipient of China's foreign aid with more than half of spending directed at the continent between 2010 and 2012, according to a policy paper issued in June. China spent 89.34 bill

The summer season each year brings wafting memories of a juicy and luscious fruit called litchi. The origins of Litchi lie in southern China where as a crop it has been cultivated uninterruptedly for close to 2500 years. Its geographical propagation has been rather slow, which is due to the short life-span of its seed and the peculiar soil and climatic requirements associated with the plant.A classical instance of this is India which is the second largest producer just behind China, but litchi farming is chronologically speaking, very recent having been introduced only sometime in the middle of the 1700's. Together China and India between themselves produce more than 90% of the world's Litchi, leaving the rest of the world far behind. In the backdrop of all this it is interesting to know the various cultivars and varieties which dot the world of Litchi farming. Most or all of them have their genesis probably in China but have been suitably bred and modified to thrive in countries of their adoption. The terms 'cultivar' and 'variety' have often been used interchangeably but this convention often seems to ignore the obvious differences which exist between the two. A 'cultivar' is bred with the help of vegetative propagation, which could include cutting, grafting,budding and tissue culture and is a product of human effort and ingenuity. A 'variety' on the other hand is a natural phenomenon and is bred through seedlings. A 'variety' will always produce clones of the parent plant, but in a cultivar,there may be slight variation in a progeny compared to the parent particularly in the case of hybrids. The Litchi cultivars in India number about 40 out of which around 12 or 13 are commercially cultivated.The same cultivar or variety may be known by different names in various parts of the country. In China there are about 200 known cultivars although only 20 or so are in commercial farming, which means the genetic repository is much more widespread compared to India but
