G/SCM/Q2/CHN/74 23 April 2018 (18-2510) Page: 1/8 Committee On G/SCM/Q2/CHN/74 23 April 2018 (18-2510) Page: 1/8 Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures Original: English SUBSIDIES FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES REGARDING THE SUB-CENTRAL NEW AND FULL NOTIFICATION OF CHINA1 The following communication, dated 20 April 2018, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of the United States. _______________ 1. We appreciate the answers to the United States’ questions on China’s sub-central notification. We recognize that collecting subsidy information from sub-central entities can be a difficult task. We note, however, only 20 of the 32 sub-central entities are covered in China’s first and only sub-central subsidy notification since becoming a WTO Member seventeen years ago. The United States considers this to be inadequate given the prevalence of subsidy programs administered by sub-central authorities, as well as a history of prohibited subsidies being provided by sub-central entities, as is demonstrated in several dispute settlement consultation requests by the United States, and indeed, the sub-central notification itself. Will China commit to meeting its obligation under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures to include subsidies from all sub-central entities in its next subsidies notification (which was due June 2017)? 2. While China has notified the Strategic Emerging Industries (SEI) program at the central government level, there were no SEI measures included in the sub-central notification. Why were the sub-central SEI measures listed below not included in the sub-central notification?

G/SCM/Q2/CHN/74 - 3 - 3. China has stated that its steel companies do not receive any specific subsidies. Is it China’s position that none of the hundreds of line items listed in the annual reports of the steel companies in China under the heading of "Government Subsidies" or "Government Grants" should be notified?2 Is it not China’s position that these are all sub-central support measures? 4. China has stated that it is "considering" notification of its fisheries subsidies. Since becoming a WTO Member, China has not notified nearly all of its wild capture fishery subsidy programs. Based on China’s 2014 Trade Policy Review and the United States’ 2016 counter-notification of Chinese fisheries subsidies3, it appears that in recent years, subsidies for fishing boat construction/acquisition or renovation are primarily, if not exclusively, provided at the sub-central level. Based on estimates from China’s Ministry of Agriculture, as of 2015 2,700 distant water fishing vessels are in operation, and that compared to 2010 at the end of the "Eleventh Five-year Plan," the number of distant water fishing vessels has increased by 60 percent. Why were none of the provincial boat construction/acquisition or renovation programs included in China’s sub-central notification? 5.

ESEs can be divided into 3 groups according to the geographical coverage of snowfall, using the following criteria to define an ESE: >15 snowfall days, 20 snow-cover/icing days, and 30 cm total cumulated snow depth for an individual winter. The first group covers the whole of Eastern China (East of 105° E), and ESEs occurred in 1654, 1660, 1665, 1670, 1676, 1683, 1689, 1690, 1700, 1714, 1719, 1830−32, 1840, 1877 and 1892; the second group is located mainly in the area south of Huaihe River (~33° N), and ESEs occured in 1694, 1887, 1929, and 1930; and the third group is confined within the central region between Yellow River and Nanling Mountain (roughly 26° to 35° N), and ESEs occurred in 1578, 1620, 1796, and 1841.

This study calculated the transmissibility of HFMD at county levels in Jiangsu Province, China, analyzed the differences of transmissibility and explored the reasons. Methods: We built susceptible-exposed-infectious-asymptomatic-removed (SEIAR) model for seasonal characteristics of HFMD, estimated effective reproduction number (Reff) by tting the incidence of HFMD in 97 counties of Jiangsu Province from 2015 to 2020, compared incidence rate and transmissibility in different counties by non -parametric test, rapid cluster analysis and rank-sum ratio.

Both coal mining and agricultural production are important for regional development in this area. In general, the land reclamation direction in this area is greatly affected by the adequacy of filling materials and the land use demand of regional economic development. Taking seven coal mining subsided areas in Pei county, located in the eastern China plain, for example, this study proposed an integrated model (including the Limit Condition model, Logistic Regression model, Grey Linear Programming model and the conversion of land use and its effects at small regional extent (CLUE-S) model) to simulate and optimize the post-mining land use structure to meet the economic development needs of Pei county.

  • Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History
    Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History By Jonathan Tang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair Professor Peter Zinoman Professor You-tien Hsing Summer 2019 Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History Copyright 2019 By Jonathan Tang Abstract Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History By Jonathan Tang Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair This dissertation examines a 1920 mutiny in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, as a way of challenging the dominant narrative of the early republican period of Chinese history, often called the “Warlord Era.” The mutiny precipitated a change of power from Tan Yankai, a classically trained elite of the pre-imperial era, to Zhao Hengti, who had undergone military training in Japan. Conventional histories interpret this transition as Zhao having betrayed his erstwhile superior Tan, epitomizing the rise of warlordism and the disintegration of traditional civilian administration; this dissertation challenges these claims by showing that Tan and Zhao were not enemies in 1920, and that no such betrayal occurred. These same histories also claim that local governance during this period was fundamentally broken, necessitating the revolutionary party-state of the KMT and CCP to centralize power and restore order. Though this was undeniably a period of political turmoil, with endemic low-level armed conflict, this dissertation juxtaposes unpublished material with two of the more influential histories of the era to show how this narrative has been exaggerated to serve political aims.

This article focuses on ecological footprint intensity analysis at the county scale. We used county-level data to evaluate the spatial distributions and temporal trends of the ecological footprint intensity in Jiangsu’s counties from 1995 to 2015. The temporal trends of counties are divided into five types: linear declining type, N-shape type, inverted-N type, U-shape type and inverted-U shape type. It was discovered that the proportions of the carbon footprint intensity were maintained or increased in most counties. Exploratory spatial data analysis shows that there was a certain regularity of the EFI spatial distributions, i.e., a gradient decrease from north to south, and there was a decline in the spatial heterogeneity of EFI in Jiangsu’s counties over time. The global Moran’s index (Moran’s I) and local spatial association index (LISA) are used to analyze both the global and local spatial correlation of EFIs among counties of Jiangsu Province.
