Jilin Information Overview Jilin, formerly known as Manchuria, is located in the northeast region of China. The capital is Changchun, which is about 70 miles (113 km) west of Jilin City. It is home to some 27,090,000 inhabitants, making it the country’s 21st most populous province. The province’s total area places 13th in the nation with over 72,000 square miles, (more accurately 187,400 sq km). Jilin province earned its title from its grand forests. The name Jilin roughly translates as Lucky or Propitious Forest. Jilin Geography The Songhua River is the longest river in Jilin. The river passes Jilin City before reaching the artificial Songhua Lake. Jilin province is mostly hills and planes centrally and in the northwest. The Changbai Mountains run along the southeastern border with North Korea. The Yalu and Tumen Rivers officially form the border between China and North Korea. The tall and snowy Changbai Mountains are one of three sites in the world with “black earth”. The stark contrast between the white snow and speckled black beneath forms one of the most unique and picturesque landscapes in the world. Zhangguangcai Mountain is just within the eastern portion of Jilin’s northern border with Heilongjiang. Jilin province also borders Lioaning province and Inner Mongolia (Nei Monggol Zizhiqu). In addition to North Korea, Jilin shares a small border with Russia along the eastern most edge of the province. Jilin Demographics Jilin is home to 44 ethnic groups, the primary group being Han. Korean, Manchu, Hui, Mongol, and Xibe are also present. Jilin History Jilin found its way into Chinese Dynastic history much in the same way as most of Manchuria. In 698 AD the Bohai kingdom was established here. Later, the Liao Dynasty ruled the region (947 AD – 1115 AD) from the nearby area of modern Liao province. The Mongol Yuan Dynasty (1279 AD – 1368 AD) later controlled the area. The final Chinese Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty (1644 AD – 1911 AD) which had its ethnicity based in Manchuria, also ruled over this province. Under the Qing Dynasty the province was protected from Han migration until the 1860s, which marked the beginning of a massive influx of Han Chinese. Jilin Industry Jilin is an important economic province in China with one of the nation’s largest grain outputs. First Automobile Works, one of the country’s most important auto manufacturers, is based in Changchun. Jilin province is an important source in China for timber, producing much of the county’s top grade pine. The region is also known as a producer of three treasured products in China, namely, ginseng, mink, and pilose antler. Jilin China annually hosts the Ice Lantern Festival where many visitors brave the cold to witness the spectacle. The province also gets a good portion of the nation’s winter sport tourism and has some of China’s best ski resorts. .

2019 International Religious Freedom Report
CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

Academic Editors: Jun Liu, Gang Liu and This Rutishauser Received: 1 February 2017; Accepted: 4 May 2017; Published: 8 May 2017 Abstract: Ice, snow, and rime are wonders of the cold season in an alpine climate zone and climate landscape. With its pure, spectacular, and magical features, these regions attract numerous tourists. Ice and snow landscapes can provide not only visually-stimulating experiences for people, but also opportunities for outdoor play and movement. In China, ice and snow tourism is a new type of recreation; however, the establishment of snow and ice in relation to the suitability of the surrounding has not been clearly expressed. Based on multi-source data, such as tourism, weather, and trafﬁc data, this paper employs the Delphi-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) evaluation method and a spatial analysis method to study the spatial differences of snow and ice tourism suitability in China. China’s ice and snow tourism is located in the latitude from 35◦N to 53.33◦N and latitude 41.5◦N to 45◦N and longitude 82◦E to 90◦E, with the main focus on latitude and terrain factors.

2016 Physicsbowl Results
2016 PhysicsBowl Results Dear Physics Teachers, Thank you for having your students participate in this year’s AAPT PHYSICSBOWL contest. This year there were more than 6400 students participating from almost 250 schools from the United States, Canada, Kuwait, Mexico, South Africa, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom, as well as almost 300 schools participating from China! With the addition of the large number of Chinese schools, the contest is almost in two parts with Regions 01 – 14 competing for prizes from AAPT while ASDAN China is coordinating the contest in China. As a result, for simplicity of trying to read the long lists, there are three files: the list of winners in Regions 01 – 14, the list of winners in Regions 15 – 19, and a list of the top students/teams from all regions in both divisions! Instructors from regions 01 – 14 can obtain the scores of their students from the AAPT website and that link will be provided to you in an email from the national office. Please realize that we were able to retrieve some scores that were disqualified for improperly recording the required information, but this was done after-the-fact. If the information was not encoded correctly, the student was immediately disqualified from winning prizes even though we may be able to link that student to your code now. Some students provided no codes, the wrong regions, no name, just a last name, etc. There are a lot of records and we cannot go back and fill in missing information. While it is unfortunate to disqualify anyone, these are the rules of the contest.
