I. Project Context Country Context China’s economy grew 10 percent a year on average over the last three decades. Over 500 million Public Disclosure Authorized people were lifted out of poverty during this time (World Bank and Development Research Center of the State Council, 2013). Since the national law on compulsory education was passed in 1982, access to education has significantly improved. While the basic education cycle spans 15 years, a nine-year education cycle comprising primary and junior secondary school is compulsory for the nation’s children. The adult literacy rate has increased from 66 percent in 1982 to 96 percent in 2015. In addition to improvements in access, results from international student assessments – such as the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s (OECD) Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) – demonstrate that the country is home to some of the best performing school systems in the world (World Bank, 2016). This socioeconomic progress of the past 30 years has raised the well-being of the population. China has made large strides in human development in terms of increased average life expectancy, education, and average income.

  • Preliminary Determinations in the Antidumping Duty Investigations On
    FACT SHEET Preliminary Determinations in the Antidumping Duty Investigations on Certain Frozen and Canned Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam On July 6, the Department announced its preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on imports of certain frozen and canned warmwater shrimp from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). We preliminarily find that with the exception of one Chinese producer/exporter, Zhangjiang Guolian Aquatic Products Co., Ltd., Chinese and Vietnamese producers/exporters have sold frozen and canned warmwater shrimp in the U.S. market at less than fair value, with margins ranging from 7.67 percent to 112.81 percent for imports from the PRC and 12.11 percent to 93.13 percent for imports from Vietnam. Next Steps: Interested parties are invited to submit comments on these preliminary determinations. The Department will consider all submitted comments along with record evidence before making its final determinations on or about November 24, 2004. If the Department makes a final affirmative determination in either or both investigations, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is scheduled to make its final injury determinations on or about January 8, 2005. If the ITC makes a final affirmative determination that imports are materially injuring, or threatening to materially injure, the domestic industry, the Department will issue antidumping duty orders and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs) to collect cash deposits on imports of subject merchandise. Companies Qualifying for a “Separate Rate”: Based on the voluntary questionnaire responses submitted by certain Chinese and Vietnamese companies, the Department has preliminarily determined that these companies have demonstrated an absence of government control that is required to be eligible to receive “separate-rate” status.

  • Spatiotemporal Analysis of the Dengue Outbreak in Guangdong Province, China Guanghu Zhu1,2,3†, Jianpeng Xiao2†,Taoliu2, Bing Zhang2, Yuantao Hao3 and Wenjun Ma2*
    Zhu et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2019) 19:493 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-019-4015-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Spatiotemporal analysis of the dengue outbreak in Guangdong Province, China Guanghu Zhu1,2,3†, Jianpeng Xiao2†,TaoLiu2, Bing Zhang2, Yuantao Hao3 and Wenjun Ma2* Abstract Background: Dengue is becoming a major public health concern in Guangdong (GD) Province of China. The problem was highlighted in 2014 by an unprecedented explosive outbreak, where the number of cases was larger than the total cases in previous 30 years. The present study aimed to clarify the spatial and temporal patterns of this dengue outbreak. Methods: Based on the district/county-level epidemiological, demographic and geographic data, we first used Moran’s I statistics and Spatial scan method to uncover spatial autocorrelation and clustering of dengue incidence, and then estimated the spatial distributions of mosquito ovitrap index (MOI) by using inverse distance weighting. We finally employed a multivariate time series model to quantitatively decompose dengue cases into endemic, autoregressive and spatiotemporal components. Results: The results indicated that dengue incidence was highly spatial-autocorrelated with the inclination of clustering and nonuniformity. About 12 dengue clusters were discovered around Guangzhou and Foshan with significant differences by district/county, where the most likely cluster with the largest relative risk located in central Guangzhou in October. Three significant high-MOI areas were observed around Shaoguan, Qingyuan, Shanwei and Guangzhou. It was further found the districts in Guagnzhou and Foshan were prone to local autoregressive transmission, and most region in southern and central GD exhibited higher endemic components.

  • China's Development of a Plantation-Based Wood Pulp Industry
    267 International Forestry Review Vol. 6(3-4), 2004 China’s development of a plantation-based wood pulp industry: government policies, financial incentives, and investment trends1 C. BARR and C. COSSALTER Senior Policy Scientist, Forests and Governance Programme, CIFOR, Jalan CIFOR, Situ Gede, Sindangbarang, Bogor Barat 16680, Indonesia Senior Plantation Scientist, Forests and Environmental Services Programme, Jalan CIFOR, Situ Gede, Sindang- barang, Bogor Barat 16680, Indonesia Email: [email protected] and [email protected] SUMMARY The Chinese government is aggressively promoting development of a domestic wood pulp industry, integrated with a plan- tation-based fiber supply and downstream paper production. It is doing so by providing discounted loans from state banks, fiscal incentives, and capital subsidies for establishment of at least 5.8 million hectares of fast-growing pulpwood planta- tions. This article examines the development of bleached hardwood kraft pulp (BHKP) mills in South China, including the Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) Jinhai mill in Hainan Province and the proposed Fuxing pulp mill project in Guangdong Province. Both mills face fiber shortfalls over the medium term, and significant new investments in plantation development will be needed to provide a sustainable fiber supply at the mills? projected capacity levels. However, there are few sites in south- ern coastal China where fiber can be grown at internationally competitive costs. In most instances, the cost of Chinese plan- tation pulpwood will be considerably higher than in countries like Indonesia and Brazil, raising important questions about the economic competitiveness of Chinese pulp producers even within their home market. Keywords: China; wood pulp, plantations, Asia Pulp & Paper, Fuxing INTRODUCTION tic producers modernize their operations and as in- ternational producers seek to capture a share of Chi- During the last 15 years, China has emerged as a lea- na’s growing market (He and Barr, in this issue).

  • C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew Lee Beller\Local Settings\Temp\FINAL Amended Prelim Shrimp Brazil PRC Vietnam 082504.Wpd
    FACT SHEET Amended Preliminary Determinations in the Antidumping Duty Investigations on Imports of Certain Frozen and Canned Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam On August 24, 2004, the Department of Commerce announced amendments to the preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on imports of certain frozen and canned warmwater shrimp from Brazil, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). These amendments resulted from corrections of ministerial errors.1 As a result of the amendments the Department changed the preliminary margins for one Brazilian respondent and the Brazilian “All Others” rate. In addition, the Department found that certain Chinese producers/exporters and one Vietnamese producer/exporter are now eligible for a “separate rate.” Amended Preliminary Margins in the Investigation on imports from Brazil: We have determined that the Department made certain clerical errors in its calculation of the dumping margin for Empresa de Armazenagem Frigorifica Ltda, which had originally been found not to have made sales at less than fair value in the U.S. market. However, after correcting the ministerial errors, we preliminarily find that the company has made sales in the U.S. market at less than fair value, with a weighted-average margin of 12.86 percent. With regard to the other respondent Brazilian producers/exporters, Central de Industrializacao e Distribuicao de Alimentos Ltda. and Norte Pesca S.A., we find that the Department did not make ministerial errors with regard to those companies; as a result, imports from these companies are still subject to the same cash deposit/bond rates as announced in our preliminary determination.

    land Article Tracking the Role of Policies and Economic Factors in Driving the Forest Change Trajectories within the Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao Region of China: A Remote Sensing Perspective Yuyang Xian 1, Yongquan Lu 1, Zipporah Musyimi 2 and Guilin Liu 1,* 1 School of Geography, South China Normal University, Guangzhou 510631, China; [email protected] (Y.X.); [email protected] (Y.L.) 2 Department of Environmental Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics, University of Trier, 54286 Trier, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract: Though forest ecosystems play a critical role in enhancing ecological, environmental, economic, and societal sustainability, on a global scale, their future outlooks are uncertain given the wide-ranging threats they are exposed to. The uniqueness of this study is to provide a line of evidence in which forest change trajectories are not only tracked but also evaluated through the lenses of forestry and economic oriented events’ timelines. The dynamics of forest change trajectories were mined using a temporal model. To understand the forces driving the changes, the change trajectories were linked to the timelines when forestry policies and economic factors where adopted. During 1980–1990, the forest change trajectory assumed a peak (forest gain). This was interpreted as a response to the adoption of policies that promoted ecological conservation. During 1995–2010, the forest change trajectories reflected the response to the antagonistic effects of forest-oriented Citation: Xian, Y.; Lu, Y.; Musyimi, Z.; Liu, G.

  • Blueprint of Coastal Wetland Conservation and Management in China
    Blueprint of Coastal Wetland Conservation and Management in China The Convention on Wetlands Management Office, Institute of Geographic Sciences and People's Republic of China Natural Resources Reasearch, CAS Blueprint of Coastal Wetland Conservation and Management in China FORWARD Coastal wetlands are the source of abundant biodiversity and valuable ecological services, which support our human livelihoods and contribute to our long-term prosperity– both economic and social. Coastal wetlands in China are critical, life- supporting habitats that sustain irreplaceable biodiversity, including millions of migratory water birds, along with many unique species of plants and other animals. However, as the recently completed Blueprint of Coastal Wetland Conservation and Management in China indicated, coastal wetlands in China are the most threatened but least protected wetlands of all ecosystems in China. Since the 1950s, China has lost more than 60% of its natural coastal wetlands to economic development, and the speed and scale of coastal wetland reclamation in the past 15 years is especially stunning. Henry M. Paulson, Jr. Due to this over-reclamation of coastal wetlands, we have already begun to see adverse Chairman, socioeconomic and ecological consequences. Paulson Institute The Blueprint project was a joint initiative of the Paulson Institute, the Convention on Wetlands Management Office of P. R. China (CWMO), and the Institute of Geographical Science and Natural Resources Research of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Experts from various institutions mapped the biodiversity and threats to China’s coastal wetlands and identified 180 priority conservation sites, including 11 most important, but unprotected habitats for migratory birds. Based on scientific analysis, they have produced a set of policy recommendations for the Chinese government.
