    6. Jing-Jin-Ji Region, People’s Republic of China Michael Lindfield, Xueyao Duan and Aijun Qiu 6.1 INTRODUCTION The Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region, known as the Jing-Jin-Ji Region (JJJR), is one of the most important political, economic and cultural areas in China. The Chinese government has recognized the need for improved management and development of the region and has made it a priority to integrate all the cities in the Bohai Bay rim and foster its economic development. This economy is China’s third economic growth engine, alongside the Pearl River and Yangtze River Deltas. Jing-Jin-Ji was the heart of the old industrial centres of China and has traditionally been involved in heavy industries and manufacturing. Over recent years, the region has developed significant clusters of newer industries in the automotive, electronics, petrochemical, software and aircraft sectors. Tourism is a major industry for Beijing. However, the region is experiencing many growth management problems, undermining its competitiveness, management, and sustainable development. It has not benefited as much from the more integrated approaches to development that were used in the older-established Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions, where the results of the reforms that have taken place in China since Deng Xiaoping have been nothing less than extraordinary. The Jing-Jin-Ji Region covers the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin and Hebei province (including 11 prefecture cities in Hebei). Beijing and Tianjin are integrated geographically with Hebei province. In 2012, the total population of the Jing-Jin-Ji Region was 107.7 million.

The prediction on the branching ratios BR(τ P e) and BR(τ P µ) is affected by the mass insertion parameters δ13 and δ23, ! ! respectively. These parameters are constrained by the experimental bounds on the branching ratios BR(τ e(µ)γ) and BR(τ 3e(µ)). The result shows Z penguin dominates the prediction on ! ! BR(τ P l) in a large region of the parameter space. The branching ratios for BR(τ P l) are ! ! predicted to be, at least, five orders of magnitude smaller than present experimental bounds and three orders of magnitude smaller than future experimental sensitivities.

  • Preliminary Analyses of PM2.5 ACSM Measurements in Handan, China
    Preliminary Analyses of PM2.5 ACSM Measurements in Handan, China Hongliang Zhang and collaborators from Handix, Aerodyne Research, Tsinghua University, Academy of Environmental Sciences of Hebei Province and Hebei University of Engineering Presented by Ping Chen on Oct. 22 at the 2016 AMS User’s Meeting in Portland, Oregon, USA 1 Background For many years Aerodyne had been developing a PM2.5 aerodynamic particle sampling lens (Xu et. al., 2016) and a particle capture vaporizer (Hu et al., 2016). By the spring of 2015, the PM2.5 lens and capture vaporizer had already gone through extensive lab tests. In May 2015, a Q-ACSM with a prototype PM2.5 lens and a prototype capture vaporizer was ordered by Handix, with the intention to deploy the system in China and test its vitality in routine monitoring in more polluted environment. In June 2016, the PM2.5 ACSM was delivered to Handix (Nanjing, China). Since then, the PM2.5 ACSM has been deployed in Nanjing (July – October, 2015), Handan (Dec. 2015 – Feb. 2016), and Guangzhou (Oct. 2016 - present). Starting in Nov. 2016, the unit will be deployed in Beijing. This morning, Phil showed some results for the experiment in Nanjing. In the following, I will show some preliminary results from the deployment in Handan city. 2 Why in Handan? Handan city, with a population of about 2 million, is located about 400 km southwest of Beijing. Beijing It is often on the top-10 list of most polluted cities in China. Most pollutants are from coal combustions in the steel and Handan chemical plants, vehicle emissions, and civilian heating, etc.

  • Higher Education Project
    Ex-ante Evaluation 1. Name of the Project Country: People’s Republic of China Project: Higher Education Project (Regional Vitalization, Market Economy Reform Support, and Environmental Conservation) (Liaoning, Hebei, and Hainan Provinces) (Loan Agreement: June 23, 2006; Loan Amount: 14,700 million yen; Borrower: The Government of the People’s Republic of China) 2. Necessity and Relevance of JBIC’s Assistance In China, the Open and Reform has since 1978 brought about the transition to a market economy, rapid economic development, and associated environmental problems. This became even truer with China’s accession to the WTO. Against this background, it is becoming necessary to strengthen education and research activities related to market rules and environmental problems. In addition, regional economic disparities have become visible, necessitating regional economic vitalization in less developed regions. Concerning these regions, improvement of higher education is also needed in terms of both quantity and quality to meet the increased demand for higher education following the spread of primary and secondary education (the higher education enrollment rate was 17% in 2003). In the “10th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (2001-2005)” and the “10th Five-Year Plan for Education” (2001-2005), the Chinese government set goals of 15% enrollment in higher education institutions, 16 million students in higher education institutions, and human resource development in areas such as law, finance, and trade. It is assumed that even higher goals will be set in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2006-2010) currently being formulated. The three target provinces (Liaoning, Hebei, and Hainan) are geographically in the coastal region, but fiscal shortages have left them with comparatively lagging educational conditions.
