Liaoning Information Overview Liaoning China is located in the northeast region of China. The capital and largest city is Shenyang located in the province’s central plane. It is the nation’s 21st largest province expanding roughly 58,000 square miles (150,000 sq km). The province’s population is 42,170, 000 people, ranking 14th in the country. Liao of the title Liaoning is derived from the Manchurian Liao Dynasty (975 AD – 1125 AD). The character for “ning” means peacefulness. Liaoning Geography Liaoning province is located in northeastern China, the region traditionally referred to as Manchuria (Dongbei). The Nulu’erhu Mountains descend into the province from Inner Mongolia (Nei Monggol Zizhiqu) and roughly form the border between the two provinces. South of that border, Lioaning shares a short border with Hebei. Central Liaoning is flat with watersheds and rivers snaking through the Liao River Plane. In the east the Changbai Mountain range extends over a good portion of the province as it runs northeastward into Jilin. The range dissipates southward into the Liaodong peninsula. Korea Bay resides to the east of the peninsula. South of Liaodong bay is the Bo Sea, just north of where the Yellow River flows into the Yellow Sea. Liaoning also shares a border with North Korea in the southeast. Liaoning Demographics Liaoning remains a diverse province by Chinese standards. Han comprise only 84% of the provincial population followed by Manchu who hold 13%. Mongol compose 2% followed by Hui and Korean who constitute 0.6% each. Xibe account for 0.3%. Liaoning History Liaoning, the southern most province in Manchuria, experienced earlier contact with central Chinese dynastic history than its northern neighbors. From the Qin Dynasty (221 BC – 206 BC) onward Liaoning played an important role politically, economically, and militarily. Part of the region was first annexed as part of greater China during the unified state of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC – 206 BC). The subsequent Han Dynasty (206 BC – 221 AD) maintained control over this portion. The Manchu established their capital in modern Shenyang during the 17th century and shortly moved southward ending the Ming Dynasty (1368 AD – 1644 AD) to establish China’s final dynasty, the Qing Dynasty (1644 AD – 1911 AD). Not until the 1860s did the Qing dynasty allow Han migration into Manchuria. The acute influx of Han at this point shortly became the dominant ethnic group of the region. Liaoning was integrated into its current provincial area mostly from Liaodong (Liao west) and Liaoxi (Liao east) after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Liaoning Industry Liaoning province is an important base of industry and trade. Dalian, on the southern tip of the Lioadong peninsula, has grown to be the main gateway for trade with northeast China. Liaoning has larger deposits of iron, diamond, boron, and magnetite than any other Chinese province. Other important industries include petroleum, and natural gas. .

China's False Allegations of the Use of Biological Weapons by the United
W O R K I N G P A P E R # 7 8 China’s False Allegations of the Use of Biological Weapons by the United States during the Korean War By Milton Leitenberg, March 2016 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann, Series Editor This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.

Significant opportunity exists for expanding recovery and utilization of methane from surface and underground boreholes. The Fushun Mining Group Company, Ltd. seeks investment for expanding the production of methane from surface boreholes and combining it with a portion of the methane recovered from the Laohutai mine to meet the energy needs of the nearby city of Shenyang. Fushun Mining Group seeks investment from China and abroad to for the proposed coal mine methane development project described in this brochure. OVERVIEW OF THE FUSHUN MINING GROUP COMPANY LTD.

The oil slicks have spread from the point of the oil spill to the east and north-western Bohai Sea. We make a comparison between the changes caused by the oil spill on the chlorophyll concentration and the sea surface temperature using MODIS data, which can be used to analyze the effect of the oil spill on the Bohai Sea ecosystem. We found that the Bohai Sea oil spill caused abnormal chlorophyll concentration distributions and red tide nearby area of oil spill.
