Introduction Decades of rapid development has made China a global economic heavyweight, significantly increased personal disposable income, while led to the grandest urbanization process in history and caused a highly car-dependent urban transportation and sequentially serious environmental and congestion problems. Unlike before, urban residents are not only travelling longer distances, but also making more trips and relying on modes using fossil fuels (Wang 2011, 2013). Over the past ten years, the number of trips by public transport has been doubled but the transit modal split has fallen from approximately 60% to 30% in major Chinese cities (Mu and de Jong 2012, Jiang and Han 2009). Private car ownership has risen from 15 million in 2004 to 105 million in 2013, equal to 25000 new cars swarming into roads everyday (China Statistical Yearbook 2013). Consequently, travelling speeds on urban arterials during peak hours often drop below 15 km/h or even 10 km/h in large cities (Wang 2011, Marchau et al. 2008). Along with the tremendous change in urban transportation, the structures and processes of policy-making for urban transport are also shifting.

  • China 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Shenyang
    China 2020 Crime & Safety Report: Shenyang This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate in Shenyang. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in the northeastern Chinese provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s China country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory Note that the Regional Security Office submitted this report prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, and it represents a picture of the baseline security environment as of the beginning of 2020. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication advises avoiding travel to China the novel coronavirus. However, the Travel Advisory in effect prior to the outbreak assessed China at Level 2, indicating travelers should Exercise increased caution in China due to arbitrary enforcement of local laws and special restrictions on dual U.S.-Chinese citizens. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Chinese authorities have asserted broad authority to prohibit U.S. citizens from leaving China by using exit bans, sometimes keeping U.S. citizens in China for years. China uses exit bans coercively: • to compel U.S. citizens to participate in Chinese government investigations; • to lure individuals back to China from abroad; and • to aid Chinese authorities in resolving civil disputes in favor of Chinese parties. In most cases, U.S.

  • China City Profiles 2012 an Overview of 20 Retail Locations
    China City Profiles 2012 An Overview of 20 Retail Locations joneslanglasalle.com.cn China Retail Profiles 2012 The China market presents a compelling opportunity for retailers. China’s retail sector has long been firmly underpinned by solid demand fundamentals–massive population, rapid urbanization and an emerging consumer class. Annual private consumption has tripled in the last decade, and China is on track to become the world’s second largest consumer market by 2015. China’s consumer class will more than double from 198 million people today to 500 million by 2022, if we define it as people earning over USD 5,000 per annum in constant 2005 dollars. It is never too late to enter the China market. China’s economic growth model is undergoing a shift from investment- led growth to consumption-led growth. It is widely recognized that government-led investment, while effective in the short term, is not the solution to long-term growth. With its massive accumulated household savings and low household debt levels, China’s domestic consumption offers immense headroom for growth. China’s leaders are acutely aware of the urgency to effect changes now and are more eager than ever before to tap its consumers for growth. Already, the government has set in motion a comprehensive range of pro-consumption policies to orchestrate a consumption boom. Broadly, the wide-ranging policies include wage increases, tax adjustments, strengthening of the social safety net, job creation, promotion of urbanization and affordable housing. While the traditional long-term demand drivers–urbanization, rising wealth and robust income growth–remain firmly intact, China’s retail story has just been given a structural boost.

Received: 15 January 2018; Accepted: 22 February 2018; Published: 25 February 2018 Abstract: To promote sustainable urbanization and combat the economic, environmental, energy and safety issues that go with rapid motorization, the Ministry of Transport in China has introduced the “Transit Metropolis” program with a substantive amount of funds devoted to the implementation of the program in local governments. This represents the largest ever central government-led effort addressing transit metropolis development in the world. How has the program been implemented locally? Have the selected demonstration cities followed the same principle or taken comparable measures to implement their version of the transit metropolis? What is their performance? These questions remain unknown in the current literature. This article answers the above questions through a literature review, interviews and comparative case studies in Shenyang and Dalian, two large cities in Liaoning Province. It shows that both cities have successfully achieved the target levels for building a transit metropolis.

  • A Novel Immunochromatographic Strips Assay for Rapid and Simple Detection of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A novel immunochromatographic strips assay for rapid and simple detection of systemic lupus erythematosus Yuhan Sun1,5, Zhi Li2,5, Wei Liang1, Yanlong Zhang3, Wanli Song1, Jiazhe Song1, Kai Xue1, Meiling Wang2, Wenying Sun2, Jianguo Gu4, Ming Li1 & Wenzhe Li1* Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex multi-system autoimmune disease. Detection of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) is fundamental for the diagnosis of SLE. In the present study, we found that the level of core fucosylation catalyzed by α1,6-fucosyltransferase (Fut8) is markedly up-regulated on immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the sera of SLE patients detected by Aspergillus oryzae lectin (AOL) blot. In sandwich Dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Dot-ELISA), the core fucosylation level was also found signifcantly increased in the sera from SLE patients with a higher ANA titer. To establish a rapid and sensitive laboratory test for the diagnosis of SLE, we prokaryotically expressed AOL and C3-D1-C3-D2-C3 of protein G (SpG3), and generate AOL- conjugated colloid gold immunochromatographic strips (ICS). The detection limit of core fucosylated IgG was 10 μg/mL for AOL-conjugated colloid gold ICS. As well as indirect immunofuorescence, the AOL-conjugated colloid gold ICS showed reliable results in the serum of 39 SLE patients. Our results indicated that the AOL-conjugated colloid gold ICS could serve as a rapid test for the detection of ANA and suspected cases of SLE. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease of multifactorial genesis, which is characterized by clinical manifestations of SLE, the production of autoantibodies and the formation of immune complexes1.
