Anete majored in Chinese language and culture and keeps learning about China and Chinese culture every day living in Beijing. One of her favourite ways to learn Mandarin Chinese is practicing Bilingual improv theatre and performing with Beijing Improv Bilingual Troupe every month. She enjoys an active lifestyle and despite the pollution loves running and is always preparing for another marathon. TRIP LEADER: KRISTEN LUM An enthusiastic ex-cheerleader from sunny California, Kristen has been living in Beijing since 2006 and has witnessed the city’s great transformation before and after the 2008 Olympic games. Biking everywhere she goes, she loves to share her admiration for Beijing’s winding hutongs, tasty traditional street snacks, and quirky cultural fun facts. If she’s not hiking a remote section of the Great Wall, she’s digging deep to uncover untold stories of China’s past or tagging along with Beijing’s creative artists because cool can be contagious (didn’t you know?). As one of Beijing’s prominent food bloggers, she’s also got an insatiable appetite and will try pretty much everything at least once.

However, the pattern of lake changes and how it responds to climate change and revegetation have rarely been reported. We investigated the pattern of lake-area changes in the Dalinor National Nature Reserve (DNR) using Landsat imagery during 1976–2015, and examined its relationship with changes in climate and vegetation factors. The total lake-area in the DNR has decreased by 11.6% from 1976 to 2015 with a rate of −0.55 km2 year−1. The largest Dalinor Lake reduced the most (by 32.7 km2) with a rate of −0.79 km2 year−1. The air temperature has increased significantly since 1976, with a rate of 0.03 ◦C year−1 (p < 0.05), while the precipitation slightly decreased during 1976–2015, with a rate of −0.86 mm year−1.

E-mail: [email protected] Key words: Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Eodorcadion, taxonomy, China, Mongolia. Summary. The species rank E. rubrosuturale (Breuning, 1943) is restored. Several local populations of E. chinganicum (Suvorov, 1909) and E. rubrosuturale are partly described. Most of localities were never published before, so new distributional records are proposed for several taxa. Specimens from about all new localities are figured. Two names are downgraded to subspecies rank: E. chinganicum mandschukuoense (Breuning, 1944), stat. nov. and E. chinganicum darigangense Heyrovský, 1967, stat. nov. The taxon described as E. chinganicum kerulenum Danilevsky, 2007 is regarded as E. rubrosuturale kerulenum Danilevsky, 2007. INTRODUCTION A complete revision of the genus was published not long ago (Danilevsky, 2007) on the base of materials from Russian and West European Museums and collectors. Several specimens were also studied in National Museum of Natural History, Washington, USA. Unfortunately no materials were available from Chinese Museums, neither from Mongolian.

  • Ethnic Minority Rights
    ETHNIC MINORITY RIGHTS Findings • During the Commission’s 2019 reporting year, the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department continued to promote ethnic affairs work at all levels of Party and state governance that emphasized the importance of ‘‘sinicizing’’ eth- nic and religious minorities. Officials emphasized the need to ‘‘sinicize’’ the country’s religions, including Islam. Official ‘‘sinicization’’ efforts contributed to the increasing marginalization of ethnic minorities and their cultures and lan- guages. • Reports indicate that official efforts to repress Islamic prac- tices in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) have spread beyond the XUAR to Hui communities living in other locations. Developments suggest officials may be starting to carry out religious repression in areas outside of the XUAR that are modeled on restrictions already implemented within the XUAR. In November 2018, official media reported that Zhang Yunsheng, Communist Party official of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, had signed a counterterrorism agreement with XUAR officials during a trip to the XUAR to learn about its efforts to fight terrorism, maintain ‘‘social stability,’’ and manage religious affairs. • During the reporting year, authorities carried out the phys- ical destruction and alteration of Hui Muslim spaces and struc- tures, continuing a recent trend away from relative toleration of Hui Muslim faith communities. Officials demolished a mosque in a Hui community in Gansu province, raided and closed several mosques in Hui areas in Yunnan province, closed an Arabic-language school serving Hui students in Gansu, and carried out changes such as removing Arabic sign- age in Hui areas. These changes narrowed the space for Hui Muslim believers to assert an ethnic and religious identity dis- tinct from that of the dominant Han Chinese population.

External Editor: Mario Tobias Received: 12 July 2014; in revised form: 2 October 2014 / Accepted: 20 October 2014 / Published: 1 December 2014 Abstract: The Chinese government adopted more specific and stringent environmental impact assessment (EIA) guidelines in 2011, soon after the widespread ethnic protests against coal mining in Inner Mongolia. However, our research suggests that the root of the ethnic tension is a sustainability problem, in addition to environmental issues. In particular, the Mongolians do not feel they have benefited from the mining of their resources. Existing environmental assessment tools are inadequate to address sustainability, which is concerned with environmental protection, social justice and economic equity. Thus, it is necessary to develop a sustainability impact assessment (SIA) to fill in the gap. SIA would be in theory and practice a better tool than EIA for assessing sustainability impact.

Progress In Studies and Construction of Land Transportation Networks in Northeast Asia 1.1 The Asian Highway and AH and Asian Land Transport Infrastructure Development (ALTID) The Asian Highway (AH) project is one of the three pillars of the Asian Land Transport Infrastructure Development (ALTID) project, endorsed by ESCAP Commission at its forty-eight session in 1992, comprising the Asian Highway, Trans- Asian Railway (TAR) and facilitation of land transport projects. AH project was initiated in 1959. The Intergovernmental Meeting adopted an Inter-governmental agreement (IGA) on the Asia Highway Network on 18 November 2003. This agreement identifies 55 AH routes among 32 member countries in total approximately 140,000 km. A signing ceremony of the IGA was held during the 60th session of ESCAP Commission at Shanghai, China, in April 2004. There are about 27 country parties including China, Korea and Japan that have approved this agreement. It came into force in July 2005. 1.2 Tumen River Area Development Programme (TRADP) In 1995, China, Russia, Mongolia, the DPRK and ROK signed an agreement in New York on the establishment of a consultative committee concerning the Tumen River program, with an expiration period of ten years. The UNDP supported TRADP has made fruitful achievements over the past ten years. The UNDP announced that relevant Northeast Asian countries had agreed to extend their agreement on the joint development of the Tumen River area by another ten years.

  • The Route of Development in Intra-Regional Income Equality Via High-Speed Rail: Evidence from China
    The Route of Development in intra-regional Income Equality via High-Speed Rail: Evidence from China Wenjing YU, China Academy for Rural Development, Zhejiang University [email protected] Yansang YAO, China Academy for Rural Development, Zhejiang University [email protected] Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the 2019 Agricultural & Applied Economics Association Annual Meeting, Atlanta, GA, July 21 – July 23 Copyright 2019 by [Wenjing Yu, Yansang Yao]. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. The Route of Development in intra-regional Income Equality via High-Speed Rail: Evidence from China Abstract This paper mainly studies how the bullet trains, a new generation of vehicles, are associated with income inequality in China for the years between 2008 and 2018. Gini coefficients are used to measure the income inequality from county level, and within urban and rural areas of China. A staggered Difference-in-Difference (DID) approach is taken to identify the causal effect of high-speed rail on intra-regional income inequality. Factors other than transportation are also considered in our regression model, including a few social variables and major economic indicators. It is found that the Gini coefficient of reginal economy would rise by 0.0327 in average when new high-speed railway stations are opened, which means that the intra-regional income inequality is being exacerbated. We also find that the treatment drawn by high-speed rail system is not uniform in different regions, and the greatest impact was set on the western region.
