  • Technical Challenges in Evaluating Southern China's Forage Germplasm
    Tropical Grasslands – Forrajes Tropicales (2013) Volume 1, 184−191 Technical challenges in evaluating southern China’s forage germplasm resources BAI CHANGJUN, LIU GUODAO, ZHANG YU, YU DAOGENG AND YAN LINLING Tropical Crops Genetic Resources Institute, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (CATAS), Danzhou, Hainan, People’s Republic of China. www.catas.cn/department/pzs Keywords: Tropical and subtropical China, collection assessment, preservation, genetic resources utilization, grasses, legumes. Abstract The present status of the collection, preservation and utilization of pasture germplasm in tropical and subtropical zones in China is reviewed. The Tropical Pasture Research Centre (TPRC) of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sci- ences (CATAS) has been engaged in this research since the 1940s. A low-temperature gene bank, an in-vitro plant library and a nursery station have been established. In total, 5890 indigenous fodder accessions belonging to 478 species, 161 genera and 12 families have been surveyed and collected in South China; 1130 exotic accessions belonging to 87 species and 42 genera of grasses and legumes have been introduced and are preserved. In the seed bank, 3769 accessions from 301 species, 127 genera and 12 families are maintained; in the form of in-vitro culture, 482 accessions belonging to 6 species, 6 genera and 3 families are preserved; and in the plant preservation nursery 388 accessions belonging to 10 species, 8 genera and 3 families. A list of 12 forage legume and 9 grass cultivars released by CATAS during 1991-2011 is presented and suggestions are made for developing and utilizing southern Chinese grassland germplasm resources.

  • Initial Exploration of a Protection System for Historical and Cultural Towns and Villages in Hainan, China
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XV 297 INITIAL EXPLORATION OF A PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES IN HAINAN, CHINA WANG ZHENYU Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China ABSTRACT The long course of Chinese national history runs from a remote source. Since China has a vast territory, different regions formed a variety of regional cultures with different natural environments and era evolutions. Historical and cultural towns and villages not only exist as individual entities, but also as integrated urban and rural settlements and regional cultures. This paper presents the methodologies for the protection of historical towns and villages in the phase of systematic planning in Hainan Province. The research begin with looking at Hainan’s regional culture, adopting the research method of anthropology and regional heritage to retrace the culture of Hainan’s towns and villages, analysing the status quo, and on this basis, building a framework of Hainan historical towns and villages in promotion of its rational protection and development. Keywords: historical and cultural towns and villages, land use, Meso-scale space unit, non-motor- vehicle travel. 1 INTRODUCTION Hainan is a tropical island in southern China with beautiful scenery; its special natural environment has created an exotic culture. Today, most people see Hainan as an international scenic spot; however, less attention is paid to Hainan’s culture and traditions, which, to some extent, results in a lack of cultural construction. Historical and cultural villages and towns are important space carriers of Hainan culture; therefore, the construction of provincial-level historical and cultural towns and villages to protect the historical and cultural heritage of Hainan is essential.

This reflects a strategic decision. Coast guard vessels operating on the basis of routine administration and backed up by a powerful military can achieve many of China’s objectives without risking an armed clash, sullying China’s reputation, or provoking military intervention from outside powers.

    Maritime Territorial and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Disputes Involving China: Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs August 9, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42784 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Maritime Territorial and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Disputes Involving China Summary This report presents policy and oversight issues for Congress arising from (1) maritime territorial disputes involving China in the South China Sea (SCS) and East China Sea (ECS) and (2) an additional dispute over whether China has a right under international law to regulate U.S. and other foreign military activities in its 200-nautical-mile maritime Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). China is a party to multiple maritime territorial disputes in the SCS and ECS, including, in particular, disputes over the Paracel Islands, Spratly Islands, and Scarborough Shoal in the SCS, and the Senkaku Islands in the ECS. Maritime territorial disputes involving China in the SCS and ECS date back many years, and have periodically led to incidents and periods of increased tension. The disputes have again intensified in the past few years, leading to numerous confrontations and incidents, and heightened tensions between China and other countries in the region, particularly Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. In addition to maritime territorial disputes in the SCS and ECS, China is involved in a dispute, particularly with the United States, over whether China has a right under international law to regulate the activities of foreign military forces operating within China’s EEZ. The dispute appears to be at the heart of multiple incidents between Chinese and U.S.

Frequent outbreaks of mangrove pests have threatened the fragile mangrove ecosystem in China and the sustainable utilization of mangrove resources. The understanding of mangrove pests as well as a fundamental knowledge of insect diversity in mangrove forests in China has been hindered by the difficulty of morphological species delimitation because captured insect specimens are either larvae or incompletely-preserved adults. DNA barcoding technology uses only a small amount of DNA to conduct species identification.

  • Designing High Quality Service Experiences for Chinese Golf Tourists in Finland
    Designing high quality service experiences for Chinese golf tourists in Finland Gao, Cencen 2014 Leppävaara Laurea University of Applied Sciences Leppävaara Designing high quality service experiences for Chinese golf tourists in Finland Gao Cencen Degree Programme in Business Management Bachelor’s Thesis 5, 2014 Laurea University of Applied Sciences Abstract Leppävaara Business Management Gao Cencen Designing high quality service experiences for Chinese Golf Tourists in Finland Year 2014 Pages 29 Increasing tourist flows from China to Europe have raised new needs for planning and designing tourism services and business in European countries. Also Finland has enjoyed rapid growth of tourism in recent years. This has in part led to a dilemma of creating new attractive tourism experiences to arriving Chinese tourists. Among other unique experiences, golf tourism has become increasingly attractive form of tourism for Chinese since the opening of first golf courses in early 1990s. Nevertheless, the topic of Chinese golf tourism in Finland has not been studied deeply before. To fill the research gap and to support managerial decision making, this study applies the ser- vice design theory to formulate a service design framework for Finnish tourism operators and Chinese tourism agencies bringing Chinese golf tourists to Finland. In addition, Chinese and Finnish golf cultures are highlighted. By analysing company websites, newspapers and social media accounts and by interviewing a number of Chinese tour operators and a marketing as- sistant from a Chinese golf tourism agency C.U.Golf a number of critical service quality fac- tors are found out. These findings are then applied into a framework and potential Finnish golf leisure destinations are suggested.
