  • Evaluation of China's Provincial Regional Innovation Performance As …
    WEIDONG WANG et al: EVALUATION OF CHINA'S PROVINCIAL REGIONAL INNOVATION PERFORMANCE AS … Evaluation of China's Provincial Regional Innovation Performance as Exemplified by Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Zhejiang Weidong Wang* Rongmian Huo School of Humanities and Social Sciences China Jiliang University Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, 310018, China e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract — In this work, China's provincial regional innovation performance is evaluated using the index system in the Annual Report of Regional Innovation Capability of China (data for 2014). Three theoretical hypotheses are proposed based on a summary of existing research. The first one states that the innovation capability of an enterprise is closely related to the regional innovation performance. The second hypothesizes that knowledge creation capacity is directly proportional to regional sustainable development indices. The third suggests that knowledge acquisition capacity is positively correlated with an enterprise's capacity to improve the technological and international competitiveness of regional industries. Principal component analysis (PCA) is subsequently used to establish a model using the Stata software package (v12). The relationships between China's regional innovation performance and some relevant indices are revealed for five provinces and cities in China. Therefore, the hypotheses are essentially verified by our research conclusions and three policy suggestions for improving regional innovation performance are also

  • Cleaning the Security Apparatus Before the Two Meetings
    ASIA PROGRAMME CLEANING THE SECURITY APPARATUS BEFORE THE TWO MEETINGS BY ALEX PAYETTE PH.D, CEO CERCIUS GROUP ADJUNCT PROFESSOR, GLENDON COLLEGE MAY 2020 ASIA FOCUS #139 l’IRIS ASIA FOCUS #139 – ASIA PROGRAMME / May 2020 n April 19 2020, Sun Lijun 孙力军 was put under investigation. Sun is the mishu of Meng Jianzhu 孟建柱, Party secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs o Commission [zhengfa] from 2012 to 2017, and a close ally of Politburo member Han Zheng 韩正, who is also a full member of Jiang Zemin’s 江泽民 Shanghai Gang 上海帮 . His arrest, which happened only one day after 15 pro-democracy activists were arrested in Hong Kong1, almost coincided with his return from Wuhan – as part of the Covid-19 containment steering group 中央赴湖北指导组. To this effect, it is evident that Sun’s investigation and arrest have been in motion for quite a while now. With Sun out of play, the former public security “tsar” Zhou Yongkang 周永康 has effectively lost most of his tentacles on the public security system. That said, Sun’s arrest might not even be the most important news shaking up the public security apparatus ahead of the upcoming “Two Meetings” 两会. CUTTING THE ROOTS As it is customary with Cadres working for public security, State security and national Defence, Sun Lijun’s public profile is quite limited. Sun, who studied in Australia, majored in public health and urban management, a very interesting choice especially considering the current pandemic. Sun was primarily active in Shanghai, and held a number of notable posts in his career including: • Director of the Hong Kong affairs office of the Ministry of Public Security from 2016 until his arrest; • Deputy director of the infamous “610” unit 中央610办公室– also known as the Central Leading Group on Preventing and Dealing with Heretical Religions 中央防范 和处理邪教问题领导小组2; • Director of the No.

  • U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress
    U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Shirley A. Kan Specialist in Asian Security Affairs October 27, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32496 U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Summary This CRS Report, updated through the 113th Congress, discusses policy issues regarding military- to-military (mil-to-mil) contacts with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and records major contacts and crises since 1993. The United States suspended military contacts with China and imposed sanctions on arms sales in response to the Tiananmen Crackdown in 1989. In 1993, President Clinton reengaged with the top PRC leadership, including China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Renewed military exchanges with the PLA have not regained the closeness reached in the 1980s, when U.S.-PRC strategic alignment against the Soviet Union included U.S. arms sales to China. Improvements and deteriorations in overall bilateral engagement have affected military contacts, which were close in 1997-1998 and 2000, but marred by the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, mistaken NATO bombing of a PRC embassy in 1999, the EP-3 aircraft collision crisis in 2001, and the PLA’s aggressive maritime and air confrontations. Issues for Congress include whether the Administration complies with legislation overseeing dealings with the PLA and pursues contacts with the PLA that advance a prioritized set of U.S. security interests, especially the operational safety of U.S. military personnel. Oversight legislation includes the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for FY1990-FY1991 (P.L. 101-246) and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2000 (P.L.

  • “Young Guards”: the Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part I: Purges and Reshuffles)
    Promoting “Young Guards”: The Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part I: Purges and Reshuffles) Cheng Li The continuing consolidation of power has been the most noticeable trend under the leadership of Xi Jinping since the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in November 2012. Undoubtedly, a key component in this strengthening of both Xi’s personal power and his new administration’s authority has centered on the military domain. Xi has gone about the consolidation process through several important political and tactical moves, including the purges of the two highest-ranking generals under the previous administration on corruption and other charges; the arrest of over 40 senior military officers on various charges of wrongdoing; large-scale reshuffling of generals between regions, departments, and services; ongoing efforts to reform the PLA structure and operations; and, most importantly, the rapid promotion of “young guards” (少壮派) in the Chinese military. All of these bold measures will have profound implications—not only for Xi’s political standing in preparation for the next leadership turnover in 2017, but also for the trajectory of civilian-military relations in the country and for the assessment of China’s military modernization. The first installation in this series focuses on the recent purges and reshuffling of military leaders, which has significant consequences in the political dynamics of present-day China. It is an old saying in the history of the Chinese Communist movement that “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”1 Although this famous Mao Zedong slogan emphasizes the Communist doctrine that the party commands the army in seizing and retaining state power, a top party leader’s consolidation of personal power cannot be achieved without strong support from the military.

  • “Combined Method” in Characters Teaching of TCFL
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 5, No. 12, pp. 2653-2657, December 2015 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/tpls.0512.30 Application of “Combined Method” in Characters Teaching of TCFL Zhu Zeng International College of Northwest A&F University, YangLing, ShaanXi 712100, China Abstract—Chinese characters are considered to be the most difficult part in TCFL. Considering the characteristics of the three elements “shape, sound, meaning” in a Chinese characters, we make use of the “combined method” of the three elements in teaching, which will form polymerizations from three aspects. Thus, the isolated Chinese characters will form a big network, greatly improve the reproduction rate Chinese characters finally, and reach the result of learning the new by restudying the old. Index Terms—contact, sound, shape, meaning, Chinese character teaching I. INTRODUCTION As the record symbol of Chinese language, Chinese characters include rich cultural information, and for the foreign students learning Chinese, Chinese characters are considered to be the most difficult part all along. Famous linguist in china Lv Shuxiang once thought that why the Chinese characters are so difficult to learn, because they are difficult to recognize, difficult to write, the number of Chinese characters is very big, and there are a lot of crossing relation among the shape, pronunciation, meaning, they are easily to be mistaken. In our opinion, the reasons why they are difficult to learn are the following, first, because it is ideographic characters, which is huge different from Alphabetic writing word; the second is the large number, the total of it is more than sixty thousand, and the characters commonly used in daily life are three thousand or so, if memorized word by word in isolation, it is very easy to forget; the third is the diversity of Chinese characters strokes, complex structure, characters of similar appearance which is difficult to distinguish.

  • “Young Guards”: the Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part III: Personal and Political)
    Promoting “Young Guards”: The Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part III: Personal and Political) Cheng Li The most noticeable trend under the leadership of Xi Jinping since the 2012 National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been the continuing consolidation of power. In particular, the military has been a key forum in which Xi has strengthened both his personal power and his new administration’s authority. Xi has adopted several approaches and political tactics to achieve this, including purging the two highest-ranking generals under the previous administration for corruption and other charges; arresting 52 senior military officers on various charges of wrongdoing; reshuffling generals between regions, departments, and services; attempting to systematically reform the PLA’s structure and operations; and, last but not least, rapidly promoting “young guards” ( ) in the Chinese military. These bold moves will have profound implications—not only for Xi’s political standing in the lead-up to the next leadership turnover in 2017, but also for the development of civilian-military relations in the country and for the trajectory of China’s military modernization. The third installment in this series focuses on personnel changes that have occurred during the early phase of military reform. Who are the rising stars in the PLA following the recent reorganization and reshuffling? What are the distinguishing characteristics of the “young guards”? What are possible explanations for and implications of some of the highest-level
