www.ccsenet.org/jgg Journal of Geography and Geology Vol. 3, No. 1; September 2011 A Miraculous Ningguo City of China and Analysis of Influencing Factors of Competitive Advantage Wei Shui Department of Eco-agriculture and Regional Development Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu Sichuan 611130, China & School of Geography and Planning Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou 510275, China Tel: 86-158-2803-3646 E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 31, 2011 Accepted: April 14, 2011 doi:10.5539/jgg.v3n1p207 Abstract Ningguo City is a remote and small county in Anhui Province, China. It has created “Ningguo Miracle” since 1990s. Its general economic capacity has been ranked #1 (the first) among all the counties or cities in Anhui Province since 2000. In order to analyze the influencing factors of competitive advantages of Ningguo City and explain “Ningguo Miracle”, this article have evaluated, analyzed and classified the general economic competitiveness of 61 counties (cities) in Anhui Province in 2004, by 14 indexes of evaluation index system. The result showed that compared with other counties (cities) in Anhui Province, Ningguo City has more advantages in competition. The competitive advantage of Ningguo City is due to the productivities, the effect of the second industry and industry, and the investment of fixed assets. Then the influencing factors of Ningguo’s competitiveness in terms of productivity were analyzed with authoritative data since 1990 and a log linear regression model was established by stepwise regression method. The results demonstrated that the key influencing factor of Ningguo City’s competitive advantage was the change of industry structure, especially the change of manufacture structure. -
Research on the Homogenization Development of Beihai-Qinzhou-Fang Chenggang Urban Industries Under Beibu Gulf Urban Agglomerations in China
Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.11, No.8, 2020 Research on the Homogenization Development of Beihai-Qinzhou-Fang Chenggang Urban Industries under Beibu Gulf Urban Agglomerations in China Zhan Jingang Naminse Eric Yaw * School of Economics and Management, Beibu Gulf University, No. 12, Binhai Avenue, Qinzhou 535011, Guangxi Province, P.R. China Abstract This study examines the homogenized development of three closely related cities in Guangxi Province of China. The cities are Beihai, Qinzhou, and Fang Chenggang (otherwise called Beiqinfang ), as an important part of Beibu Gulf urban agglomerations in China.The paper explored the current situation of Beiqinfang urban industries through quantitative research methods, applied correlation degree measurement index to conduct effective measurement on the isomorphism of Beiqinfang urban industrial development, in order to understand the current situation of industrial isomorphism among those areas, establish industrial dislocation development among Beiqinfang cities, and how to achieve sustainable development.We recommend that the three cities should actively avoid the mutual competition among them, so as to achieve effective resource allocation and prevent industrial homogenization.

The Guangzhou-Hongkong Strike, 1925-1926
The Guangzhou-Hongkong Strike, 1925-1926 Hongkong Workers in an Anti-Imperialist Movement Robert JamesHorrocks Submitted in accordancewith the requirementsfor the degreeof PhD The University of Leeds Departmentof East Asian Studies October 1994 The candidateconfirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where referencehas been made to the work of others. 11 Abstract In this thesis, I study the Guangzhou-Hongkong strike of 1925-1926. My analysis differs from past studies' suggestions that the strike was a libertarian eruption of mass protest against British imperialism and the Hongkong Government, which, according to these studies, exploited and oppressed Chinese in Guangdong and Hongkong. I argue that a political party, the CCP, led, organised, and nurtured the strike. It centralised political power in its hands and tried to impose its revolutionary visions on those under its control. First, I describe how foreign trade enriched many people outside the state. I go on to describe how Chinese-run institutions governed Hongkong's increasingly settled non-elite Chinese population. I reject ideas that Hongkong's mixed-class unions exploited workers and suggest that revolutionaries failed to transform Hongkong society either before or during the strike. My thesis shows that the strike bureaucracy was an authoritarian power structure; the strike's unprecedented political demands reflected the CCP's revolutionary political platform, which was sometimes incompatible with the interests of Hongkong's unions. I suggestthat the revolutionary elite's goals were not identical to those of the unions it claimed to represent: Hongkong unions preserved their autonomy in the face of revolutionaries' attempts to control Hongkong workers. -

Village-Based Spatio-Temporal Cluster Analysis of the Schistosomiasis Risk
Xia et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:136 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2059-y RESEARCH Open Access Village-based spatio-temporal cluster analysis of the schistosomiasis risk in the Poyang Lake Region, China Congcong Xia1,2,3,4, Robert Bergquist5, Henry Lynn1,2,3,4, Fei Hu6, Dandan Lin6, Yuwan Hao7, Shizhu Li7*, Yi Hu1,2,3,4* and Zhijie Zhang1,2,3,4* Abstract Background: The Poyang Lake Region, one of the major epidemic sites of schistosomiasis in China, remains a severe challenge. To improve our understanding of the current endemic status of schistosomiasis and to better control the transmission of the disease in the Poyang Lake Region, it is important to analyse the clustering pattern of schistosomiasis and detect the hotspots of transmission risk. Results: Based on annual surveillance data, at the village level in this region from 2009 to 2014, spatial and temporal cluster analyses were conducted to assess the pattern of schistosomiasis infection risk among humans through purely spatial(LocalMoran’s I, Kulldorff and Flexible scan statistic) and space-time scan statistics (Kulldorff). A dramatic decline was found in the infection rate during the study period, which was shown to be maintained at a low level. The number of spatial clusters declined over time and were concentrated in counties around Poyang Lake, including Yugan, Yongxiu, Nanchang, Xingzi, Xinjian, De’an as well as Pengze, situated along the Yangtze River and the most serious area found in this study. Space-time analysis revealed that the clustering time frame appeared between 2009 and 2011 and the most likely cluster with the widest range was particularly concentrated in Pengze County. -

Sword Fight Between a Runaway 'Slave' and a Thief Catcher
Section 4.5 Sword Fight between a Runaway ‘Slave’ and a Thief Catcher This is the third case in the Book of Submitted Doubtful Cases that transpired in the wake of the Imperial instruction proclaimed by Liu Bang in 202 BCE and its resulting legislation (discussed in the preface to sec. 4.2) ordering the popula- tion displaced after the collapse of the Qin dynasty and the subsequent civil war to return to their natal homes and register themselves and their property with the Han authorities. Many who had formerly been enslaved could regis- ter themselves within thirty days and then return to their previous commoner lives, provided they had not committed any offense. As with the case documented in section 4.2, this case (dated one year ear- lier) was submitted from Jiangling County, located in present-day Jingzhou, Hubei, the former capital of the state of Chu, by the same Assistant Magistrate Ao, but this time the record mentions his superior, Magistrate Yu. The case was first submitted for adjudication to officials at the commandery, where the two main offenders were sentenced, but then forwarded to the Han capital, pre- sumably because the Nan Commandery officials wanted their judgment of the matter confirmed. The chief judicial officer of the empire, the Commandant of the Court, most likely Xuan Yi 宣義 (d. 181 BCE), requested Emperor Gaozu himself to pronounce final judgment, presumably because he, too, was not completely sure whether Nan Commandery had judged the case correctly. The Emperor did indeed confirm the judgment decided by the lower court. -

The Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Tsang Tak-Sing, Encouraged The
Guangdong-HK-Macao youth cultural programme promotes exchanges ********************************************************* The Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Tsang Tak-sing, encouraged young people from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to consolidate the invaluable experiences gained from the 2010 Guangdong-HK-Macao Youth Cultural Exchange Tour to further strengthen co-operation and explore wider scope for exchanges. Mr Tsang witnessed around 130 young people completing this meaningful programme at the closing ceremony held in Guangzhou today (July 20). He said he was glad to know that the young participants had not only made acquaintances during the eight-day tour, but had also learned about the background and preservation of the cultures in the three places. With the theme "Culture Links Friendship", this year's tour enriched participants' understanding of the cultures of the three places through excursions and cultural seminars. "The 11th Greater Pearl River Delta Cultural Co-operation Meeting was held on June 25 in Macao. There were fruitful developments on exchanges of artists and information, cultural programme and library collaboration, intangible cultural heritages as well as development of the cultural and creative industry," Mr Tsang said. "And yet, the future growth of the arts and culture in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao hinges much on young people's passion and innovation. Thus, apart from forming new friendships among the participants, I hope this tour will also help broaden their horizons and lay a solid foundation for further co-operation and exchange in the arts and culture among the three places in future," he added. The nine-day Guangdong-HK-Macao Youth Cultural Tour was co-organised by the Home Affairs Bureau of the HKSAR, the Department of Culture of Guangdong Province and the Tertiary Education Services Office of Macao SAR.
