  • Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait Through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks
    sustainability Article Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks Yan Ma * and Feng Xue School of Architecture and Urban-Rural Planning, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, Fujian, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 24 May 2019 Abstract: Globalization and the spread of information have made city networks more complex. The existing research on city network structures has usually focused on discussions of regional integration. With the development of interconnections among cities, however, the characterization of city network structures on a regional scale is limited in the ability to capture a network’s complexity. To improve this characterization, this study focused on network structures at both regional and local scales. Through the lens of function and innovation, we characterized the city network structure of the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through a social network analysis and a Fast Unfolding Community Detection algorithm. We found a significant imbalance in the innovation cooperation among cities in the region. When considering people flow, a multilevel spatial network structure had taken shape. Among cities with strong centrality, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Whenzhou had a significant spillover effect, which meant the region was depolarizing. Quanzhou and Ganzhou had a significant siphon effect, which was unsustainable. Generally, urbanization in small and midsize cities was common. These findings provide support for government policy making. Keywords: city network; spatial organization; people flows; innovation network 1.

  • How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts
    American Political Science Review (2017) 111, 3, 484–501 doi:10.1017/S0003055417000144 c American Political Science Association 2017 How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts for Strategic Distraction, Not Engaged Argument GARY KING Harvard University JENNIFER PAN Stanford University MARGARET E. ROBERTS University of California, San Diego he Chinese government has long been suspected of hiring as many as 2 million people to surrep- titiously insert huge numbers of pseudonymous and other deceptive writings into the stream of T real social media posts, as if they were the genuine opinions of ordinary people. Many academics, and most journalists and activists, claim that these so-called 50c party posts vociferously argue for the government’s side in political and policy debates. As we show, this is also true of most posts openly accused on social media of being 50c. Yet almost no systematic empirical evidence exists for this claim https://doi.org/10.1017/S0003055417000144 . or, more importantly, for the Chinese regime’s strategic objective in pursuing this activity. In the first large-scale empirical analysis of this operation, we show how to identify the secretive authors of these posts, the posts written by them, and their content. We estimate that the government fabricates and posts about 448 million social media comments a year. In contrast to prior claims, we show that the Chinese regime’s strategy is to avoid arguing with skeptics of the party and the government, and to not even discuss controversial issues. We show that the goal of this massive secretive operation is instead to distract the public and change the subject, as most of these posts involve cheerleading for China, the revolutionary history of the Communist Party, or other symbols of the regime.

  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team.

  • Research on the Relationship Between Green Development and Fdi in Jiangxi Province
    2019 International Seminar on Education, Teaching, Business and Management (ISETBM 2019) Research on the Relationship between Green Development and Fdi in Jiangxi Province Zejie Liu1, a, Xiaoxue Lei2, b, Wenhui Lai1, c, Zhenyue Lu1, d, Yuanyuan Yin1, e 1School of Business, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China 2 School of Financial and Monetary, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China Keywords: Jiangxi province, City, Green development, Fdi Abstract: Firstly, based on factor analysis method, this paper obtained the green development comprehensive index and its changing trend of 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province. Secondly, by calculating Moran's I index, it made an empirical analysis of the spatial correlation of FDI between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province, both globally and locally. Finally, this paper further tested the relationship between FDI and green development index by establishing multiple linear regression equation. The results show that the overall green development level of Jiangxi Province shows a steady upward trend, but the development gap between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province is large, and the important green development indicators have a significant positive impact on FDI. 1. Introduction As one of the important provinces rising in Central China, Jiangxi has made remarkable achievements in the protection of ecological environment and the promotion of economic benefits while vigorously promoting green development and actively introducing FDI. Data shows that since the first batch of FDI was introduced in 1984, Jiangxi Province has attracted 12.57 billion US dollars of FDI in 2018, with an average annual growth rate of 19.42%. By the first three quarters of 2019, Jiangxi's actual use of FDI amounted to 9.79 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.1%, ranking at the top of the country.

  • BOOK REVIEW Joseph Adler, Reconstructing the Confucian Dao
    Front. Philos. China 2016, 11(3): 527–534 DOI 10.3868/s030-005-016-0037-7 BOOK REVIEW Joseph Adler, Reconstructing the Confucian Dao: Zhu Xi’s Appropriation of Zhou Dunyi. New York: State University of New York Press, 2014, 341 pp., ISBN: 9781438451572. Reconstructing the Confucian Dao offers up the carefully tended fruits of Joseph Adler’s research and reflections on a long standing mystery in the annals of Song dynasty (960–1279) Neo-Confucianism (lixue). The mystery surrounds a striking addition Zhu Xi (1130–1200) made to the Confucian Dao succession (Daotong),1 an addition that augured far-reaching consequences for Neo-Confucianism. It must be stressed that the Dao succession not only served to define the orthodox tradition but also underscored the religious dimension of Confucianism by honoring those masters whose teachings most perfectly clove to, and expressed what was deemed to be Confucianism’s essence.2 In Confucian the Dao, Adler brings the implications of this religious dimension, and related practice, into play. Zhu Xi’s striking addition was not just his inclusion of Zhou Dunyi (1017–73) in the Confucian Dao succession; it was his identification of Zhou as the progenitor of the Song rebirth of the Dao succession, nearly 1,500 years after the passing of its last classical participant, Mencius (372–289 BCE). The first half of the book probes the mystery of Zhu Xi’s addition of Zhou Dunyi to the Dao succession while the second half provides Adler’s translations of major Zhou Dunyi texts as well as of some of Zhu Xi’s writings on Zhou.
