ISBN: ISBN (electronic publication): 978-87-93151-97-0 Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation 2 Dear reader This ICDK analysis provides you with a mapping of current development and activities in the Chinese R&D that corresponds with the focus of the Danish Innovation Networks within 22 specific sectors. The mapping has been made for Innovation Centre Denmark, Shanghai by the consultancy company Kairos Future. The purpose of this mapping is to provide you with an overview of the R&D development in China. The mapping is not only targeted the stakeholders within the innovation networks but also research institutions, companies and other relevant actors. The mapping aims to inspire Danish Innovation networks, research institutions and companies to open their eyes to the many opportunities of collaboration with relevant stakeholders in China. Furthermore, the mapping will give you a glimpse of the rapid R&D/innovation development in China in the recent years and an introduction to the significant policy initiatives that are expected to become strong R&D tendencies in the years to come. It is recommended to use the mapping as a “Guide” which consists of an introduction providing an overview of the methodology used, political/societal contexts in China, and finally an organized list of data for each of the 22 specific sectors corresponding to the Danish Innovation Networks. It might not be of one’s interests to go through these data and analysis for all sectors, therefore you are more than welcome to just read though the specific area of your interest. Innovation Centre Denmark in Shanghai will use this mapping actively as a tool to start a dialogue with the Danish Innovation Networks, researchers and companies on further collaboration. Yours sincerely, Nina Hassel Innovation Attaché Innovation Centre Denmark, Shanghai Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation 3 Contents 1.

In this paper, glacier and climate changes in Xinjiang during the past decades were comprehensively discussed based on glacier inventory data, individual monitored glacier observations, recent publications, as well as meteorological records. The results show that glaciers have been in continuous mass loss and dimensional shrinkage since the 1960s, although there are spatial differences between mountains and sub-regions, and the significant temperature increase is the dominant controlling factor of glacier change. The mass loss of monitored glaciers in the Tien Shan has accelerated since the late 1990s, but has a slight slowing after 2010. Remote sensing results also show a more negative mass balance in the 2000s and mass loss slowing in the latest decade (2010s) in most regions.

  • Research on the Industrial Upgrading of China's Bohai Economic Rim Lin
    2018 3rd International Conference on Society Science and Economics Development (ICSSED 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-031-0 Research on the Industrial Upgrading of China's Bohai Economic Rim Lin Kong1,a 1School of Management, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China [email protected] Keywords: Industrial structure, Industrial chains, Industrial upgrading, Bohai Economic Rim. Abstract. The global economic integration has continuously promoted the development of the region and pushed the upgrading of the regional industries forward. This paper analyzes the present situation of the industrial development of China’s Bohai Economic Rim, summarizes the main obstacles of its current industrial upgrading, and puts forward some countermeasures to promote the industrial upgrading of the Bohai Economic Rim. 1. Introduction The Bohai Economic Rim in China refers to the vast economic region that surrounds the coastal areas of the Bohai Sea. The economic cooperation and horizontal integration among regions, and their complementary advantages open up a vast space for the development of the Bohai Economic Rim. However, there are also industry convergence, unbalanced development and other issues in this region. With the continuous development of China's economy, the Bohai Economic Rim also urgently needs to achieve industrial restructuring and upgrading. 2. The Present Situation of Industrial Development in China’s Bohai Economic Rim China’s Bohai Economic Rim is the most important export-oriented, multi-functional and dense urban agglomeration in the north of China. At present, it has played a role of agglomeration, radiation, service and promotion in the national and regional economies, and has become the engine of the economic development in North China.

  • China's Domestic Politics and Foreign Policy After the 19Th Party Congress
    China's Domestic Politics and Foreign Policy after the 19th Party Congress Paper presented to Japanese Views on China and Taiwan: Implications for U.S.-Japan Alliance March 1, 2018 Center for Strategic & International Studies Washington, D.C. Akio Takahara Professor of Contemporary Chinese Politics The Graduate School of Law and Politics, The University of Tokyo Abstract At the 19th Party Congress Xi Jinping proclaimed the advent of a new era. With the new line-up of the politburo and a new orthodox ideology enshrined under his name, he has successfully strengthened further his power and authority and virtually put an end to collective leadership. However, the essence of his new “thought” seems only to be an emphasis of party leadership and his authority, which is unlikely to deliver and meet the desires of the people and solve the contradiction in society that Xi himself acknowledged. Under Xi’s “one-man rule”, China’s external policy could become “soft” and “hard” at the same time. This is because he does not have to worry about internal criticisms for being weak-kneed and also because his assertive personality will hold sway. Introduction October 2017 marked the beginning of the second term of Xi Jinping's party leadership, following the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the First Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CCP. Although the formal election of the state organ members must wait until the National People's Congress to be held in March 2018, the appointees of major posts would already have been decided internally by the CCP.

With the aim of exploring the usefulness of spatial analysis in the formulation of a strategy for schistosomi- asis japonica control in different environmental settings, a population-based database was established in Dangtu coun- ty, China. This database, containing the human prevalence of schistosomiasis at the village level from 2001 to 2004, was analyzed by directional trend analysis supported with ArcGIS 9.0 to select the optimum predictive approach. Based on the approach selected, different strata of prevalence were classified and the spatial distribution of human infection with Schistosoma japonicum was estimated. The second-order ordinary kriging approach of spatial analysis was found to be optimal for prediction of human prevalence of S. japonicum infection. The mean prediction error was close to 0 and the root-mean-square standardised error was close to 1. Starting with the different environmental settings for each stratum of transmission, four areas were classified according to human prevalence, and different strategies to control transmission of schistosomiasis were put forward.
