  • The Functional Structure Convergence of China's Coastal Ports
    sustainability Article The Functional Structure Convergence of China’s Coastal Ports Wei Wang 1,2,3, Chengjin Wang 1,* and Fengjun Jin 1 1 Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, CAS, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] (W.W.); [email protected] (F.J.) 2 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China 3 School of Geography, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 September 2017; Accepted: 23 November 2017; Published: 28 November 2017 Abstract: Functional structure is an important part of a port system, and can reflect the resource endowments and economic development needs of the hinterland. In this study, we investigated the transportation function of coastal ports in China from the perspective of cargo structure using a similarity coefficient. Our research considered both adjacent ports and hub ports. We found that the transportation function of some adjacent ports was very similar in terms of outbound structure (e.g., Qinhuangdao and Huanghua) and inbound structure (e.g., Huanghua and Tangshan). Ports around Bohai Bay and the port group in the Yangtze River Delta were the most competitive areas in terms of outbound and inbound structure, respectively. The major contributors to port similarity in different regions varied geographically due to the different market demands and cargo supplies. For adjacent ports, the functional convergence of inbound structure was more serious than the outbound. The convergence between hub ports was more serious than between adjacent ports in terms of both outbound and inbound structure. The average similarity coefficients displayed an increasing trend over time.

  • Remote Sensing Analysis of the Status of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal
    REMOTE SENSING ANALYSIS OF THE STATUS OF THE BEIJING-HANGZHOU GRAND CANAL B. Deng H. Guo , C. Wang , Y. Nie, The Institute of Remote Sensing Applications, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China - [email protected] Commission VI, WG V/2 KEY WORDS: Image interpretation, Image understanding, Feature detection, Archaeology ABSTRACT: Remote sensing began with the use of aerial photography and is acknowledged as a valuable tool for viewing, analyzing, characterizing, and making decisions about our environment. The Grand Canal of China is the longest ancient canal in the world and recently approved as the Key National Relics-preservation Unit. In our work multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing data, including the aerial photographs taken half a century ago and the recently acquired SPOT5 multispectral images and the RADARSAT-1 images are collected. Through a comparative and complementary analysis of the data sets, some findings are given. The general characteristics of the canal course and the canal cities are also described, which provides important information for the making plans of the Grand Canal preservation. 1. INTRODUCTION can provide radar images at the spatial resolution of 1 meter. The fourth advantage is the high spectral resolution. Now the Remote sensing, in the broadest sense, is the short or large-scale hyperspectral sensor can acquire image at hundreds of channels acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by the simultaneously, which can grasp the small changes of use of either recording or real-time sensing device(s) that is not reflectance and make possible the discrimination of some in physical or intimate contact with the object (such as by way targets.

    Embargoed until: 09:30 CET Paris Time – 18 March 2021 Trends in China Facts from the Renewables in Cities 2021 Global Status Report Key Renewable Energy Takeaways in 2020 from China • China is the greatest market in the world for solar PV1, with many of these developments taking place in urban areas and helping to decarbonise energy use in buildings; however, further efforts are needed to increase the share of renewables across sectors, including heating and cooling, but also power – especially in light of the expansion of e-mobility2. • The electrification of all transport modes has been pioneered in Chinese cities; they are visibly committed to the national EV ambition, providing complementary municipal-level subsidies (in addition to national incentives) for battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. • China is the second-largest producer of district heating (DH) in the world, and although these systems rely almost entirely on fossil fuels, some cities have been increasing solar thermal and geothermal heating capacity and use in their DH networks. Brand new data shows • Only 25 cities had renewable energy targets and/or policies from a global total of over 1,300 cities). This covers 321 million people, 38% of the urban population in China • On a global scale, Chinese cities are lagging behind on setting net-zero3 targets: some notable exceptions exist: 6 cities were developing net-zero targets in 2020, and Dalian set a target to achieve net-zero by 2050. Rizhao has had a target for climate neutrality by 2050 since 2008. Renewable Energy Developments in Chinese Cities City renewable energy commitments and policies • Most city-level targets and actions are in line with (and often part of the implementation of) national-level policy, including China’s commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.

  • Artificial Intelligence and Copyright Protection --Judicial Practice in Chinese Courts
    Artificial Intelligence and Copyright Protection --Judicial Practice in Chinese Courts ZHOU Bo Senior Judge of the IPR Division of the Supreme People’s Court of China In China, artificial intelligence (“AI”) has been widely used in innovative applications in many fields, resulting in tremendous efficiency and productivity. Not surprisingly AI related lawsuits arise and are being brought to Chinese courts for adjudication. Thanks to the kind invitation from the WIPO, I am honored to have the opportunity to talk about some latest court cases in China in this area. The key case I will highlight is a copyright dispute between Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Tencent”) and Shanghai Yingxun Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Yingxun”), which was adjudicated by Nanshan District People's Court, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province on December 24, 2019 (Shenzhen Tencent v. Shanghai Yingxun). A core issue here is whether AI-generated content is copyrightable or not? When analyzing this case, other related cases will also be mentioned. A. Basic facts Tencent Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (Beijing Tencent) has independently developed a set of data and algorithm-based intelligent writing assistance system called "Dreamwriter" to meet the needs of large-scale and personalized content businesses. Beijing Tencent has licensed the Dreamwriter computer software to the Plaintiff Shenzhen Tencent in this case. On August 20, 2018, Shenzhen Tencent first published a financial reporting article on the Tencent Securities website and noted at the end that: “This article was automatically written by Tencent's robot Dreamwriter”. The Defendant in this case, Shanghai Yingxun, without Tencent's permission and authorization, reprinted the article on its website on the day it was published.

  • The Effect of Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway on the Economic Development of Prefecture-Level Cities Along the Line Based on DID Model
    E3S Web of Conferences 235, 01016 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202123501016 NETID 2020 The Effect of Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway on the Economic Development of Prefecture-Level Cities Along the Line Based on DID Model Ma Yuzhou1 1School of Economics and Management, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China Abstract. High-speed railway has an essential impact on the economic and social development of the regions along the line. Based on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, this paper constructs the DID model and analyzes the impact of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway on the economic development of prefecture-level cities along the route from the empirical perspective. The empirical analysis results show that the Beijing- Shanghai high-speed railway has a significant negative impact on the per capita GDP of prefecture-level cities along the line in the short term, mainly because the agglomeration effect is greater than the diffusion effect. Therefore, small cities should actively think about how to deal with the agglomeration effect caused by the construction of high-speed rail. billion yuan. The line is a project with the most massive 1 Introduction scale and highest technique since the founding of China.

  • Chapter 2 Beijing's Internal and External Challenges
    CHAPTER 2 BEIJING’S INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CHALLENGES Key Findings • The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is facing internal and external challenges as it attempts to maintain power at home and increase its influence abroad. China’s leadership is acutely aware of these challenges and is making a concerted effort to overcome them. • The CCP perceives Western values and democracy as weaken- ing the ideological commitment to China’s socialist system of Party cadres and the broader populace, which the Party views as a fundamental threat to its rule. General Secretary Xi Jin- ping has attempted to restore the CCP’s belief in its founding values to further consolidate control over nearly all of China’s government, economy, and society. His personal ascendancy within the CCP is in contrast to the previous consensus-based model established by his predecessors. Meanwhile, his signature anticorruption campaign has contributed to bureaucratic confu- sion and paralysis while failing to resolve the endemic corrup- tion plaguing China’s governing system. • China’s current economic challenges include slowing econom- ic growth, a struggling private sector, rising debt levels, and a rapidly-aging population. Beijing’s deleveraging campaign has been a major drag on growth and disproportionately affects the private sector. Rather than attempt to energize China’s econo- my through market reforms, the policy emphasis under General Secretary Xi has shifted markedly toward state control. • Beijing views its dependence on foreign intellectual property as undermining its ambition to become a global power and a threat to its technological independence. China has accelerated its efforts to develop advanced technologies to move up the eco- nomic value chain and reduce its dependence on foreign tech- nology, which it views as both a critical economic and security vulnerability.
