This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. This research response may not, under any circumstance, be cited in a decision or any other document. Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1. What is known of government corruption in Qianshan County? 2. Is anything known of Qianshan County Construction Engineering Co Ltd? 3. Is Shi Gu Wang the President of Qianshan County and is anything known of him? RESPONSE 1. What is known of government corruption in Qianshan County, Jiangxi Province? Very little information was found in the sources consulted on government corruption in Qianshan County (铅山县), also known as Yanshan Country, Jiangxi Province (江西省). This information is provided below together with general information on Qianshan County. In July 2002 BBC Monitoring Asia Pacific – Political reporting trials in Yanshan County stated: Recently, in its initial trial, Shangrao Intermediate People’s Court, in Jiangxi Province, sentenced Tu Fusheng (3205 4395 3932) and his successor, Li Zaichun (2621 0375 2504), secretaries of the Yanshan County Committee, to three years and two years imprisonment, respectively. The court also sentenced Zhou Xianzhen (0719 3759 3791), director of the Organization Department of Yanshan County, to five years imprisonment for allegedly accepting bribes (‘Death sentences, crime reported in China, May-June’ 2002, BBC Monitoring Asia Pacific – Political, source: Guangzhou Ribao, Guangzhou, in Chinese, 12 Jun 02 pA4, 6 July – Attachment 1). Of some interest may be an April 2007 China Daily news article reporting an investigation of the head of the Haidian District government in Beijing for allegedly accepting bribes to approve real estate deals. This person was a native of Qianshan County in Jiangxi Province (Juan, Shan 2007, ‘Haidian head in graft probe’, China Daily, 17 April – Attachment 2). Qianshan County Sources indicate that Qianshan County in Jiangxi Province is sometimes referred to as Yanshan County (‘China: Jiangxi’ (undated), City Population website http://www.citypopulation.de/China-Jiangxi.html – Accessed 3 October 2008 – Attachment 3; Fox, Josephine et al. 2006, ‘Qianshan County’ in ‘MAFIQC: Mortality and Fertility in Qing China – demographic and social patterns in the Lower Yangzi Valley circa 1760-1830’, Internet Publications Bureau, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (RSPAS), The Australian National University http://coombs.anu.edu.au/SpecialProj/MAFIQC- for.2nd.edition/geography-full.html – Accessed 3 October 2008 – Attachment 4; ‘Yongping Cu-W deposit, Yanshan Co.

However, this disorder is usually ignored by Jiangxi provincial health system and government due to lack of epidemiological data. Materials and Methods: A total of 9489 samples from Hakka Han and Gan-speaking Han in three geographical areas of Jiangxi Province were analyzed for both complete blood cell (CBC) count and reverse dot blot (RDB) gene chip for thalassemia. Results: 1182 cases of suspected thalassemia carriers with microcytosis (MCV,82 fL) were found by CBC count, and were tested by RDB gene chip to reveal a total of 594 mutant chromosomes, including 433 a-thalassemia mutant chromosomes and 172 b-thalassemia mutant chromosomes. Our results indicated a higher prevalence of thalassemia with the heterozygote frequency of 9.49% in southern Jiangxi province, whereas the low frequency was found in middle (3.90%) and northern Jiangxi (2.63%).

    2019 International Seminar on Education, Teaching, Business and Management (ISETBM 2019) Research on the Relationship between Green Development and Fdi in Jiangxi Province Zejie Liu1, a, Xiaoxue Lei2, b, Wenhui Lai1, c, Zhenyue Lu1, d, Yuanyuan Yin1, e 1School of Business, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China 2 School of Financial and Monetary, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China Keywords: Jiangxi province, City, Green development, Fdi Abstract: Firstly, based on factor analysis method, this paper obtained the green development comprehensive index and its changing trend of 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province. Secondly, by calculating Moran's I index, it made an empirical analysis of the spatial correlation of FDI between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province, both globally and locally. Finally, this paper further tested the relationship between FDI and green development index by establishing multiple linear regression equation. The results show that the overall green development level of Jiangxi Province shows a steady upward trend, but the development gap between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province is large, and the important green development indicators have a significant positive impact on FDI. 1. Introduction As one of the important provinces rising in Central China, Jiangxi has made remarkable achievements in the protection of ecological environment and the promotion of economic benefits while vigorously promoting green development and actively introducing FDI. Data shows that since the first batch of FDI was introduced in 1984, Jiangxi Province has attracted 12.57 billion US dollars of FDI in 2018, with an average annual growth rate of 19.42%. By the first three quarters of 2019, Jiangxi's actual use of FDI amounted to 9.79 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.1%, ranking at the top of the country.

  • Sacred Landscape in Southern Song and Yuan Jizhou
    CHAPTER TWO SACRED LANDSCAPE IN SOUTHERN SONG AND YUAN JIZHOU The geographical focus of this book is on a part of Jiangxi province, one of the provinces of south-central China. In the north the Yangzi River forms its boundary; towards the south, east, and west, the province is hemmed in by mountain ranges. From these surrounding mountains several rivers spring forth that ow towards the Yangzi River in the north and drain in Lake Poyang 鄱陽, now the largest freshwater lake in China. Lake Poyang functions as an important over ow basin for the Yangzi River, and changes considerably in size during the course of the year depending on the levels of the river. The Gan, one of the largest tributary rivers of the Yangzi River and the province’s central river system, served as its most important transport system. It origi- nates in the south of the province and ] ows northwards for over 751 kilometres (see Map 2). Jiangxi’s lower mountains and hills as well as its river basins provide fertile arable land (over 65% of the province), much of which is given to paddy \ elds. The area’s sub-tropical climate and abundant surface water, combined with almost a full year’s growing season make the area ideal for rice cultivation, and most places annually produce two crops of rice. Other crops include tea, sugarcane, sweet potato, citrus fruit and \ brous plants (ramie and cotton). The mountains and hills were originally covered with evergreen and broad-leaf vegetation, when timber and pine resin were important products of the region, but more recently erosion has caused serious problems and the timber production has sharply declined.

  • Did the Establishment of Poyang Lake Eco-Economic Zone Increase Agricultural Labor Productivity in Jiangxi Province, China?
    Article Did the Establishment of Poyang Lake Eco-Economic Zone Increase Agricultural Labor Productivity in Jiangxi Province, China? Tao Wu 1 and Yuelong Wang 2,* Received: 10 December 2015; Accepted: 21 December 2015; Published: 24 December 2015 Academic Editor: Marc A. Rosen 1 School of Economics, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, 169 Shuanggang East Road, Nanchang 330013, China; [email protected] 2 Center for Regulation and Competition, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, 169 Shuanggang East Road, Nanchang 330013, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0791-83816310 Abstract: In this paper, we take the establishment of Poyang Lake Eco-Economic Zone in 2009 as a quasi-natural experiment, to evaluate its influence on the agricultural labor productivity in Jiangxi Province, China. The estimation results of the DID method show that the establishment of the zone reduced agricultural labor productivity by 3.1%, lowering farmers’ net income by 2.5% and reducing the agricultural GDP by 3.6%. Furthermore, this negative effect has increased year after year since 2009. However, the heterogeneity analysis implies that the agricultural labor productivities of all cities in Jiangxi Province will ultimately converge. We find that the lack of agricultural R&D activities and the abuse of chemical fertilizers may be the main reasons behind the negative influence of the policy, by examining two possible transmission channels—the R&D investment and technological substitution. Corresponding policy implications are also provided. Keywords: Poyang Lake Eco-Economic Zone; agricultural labor productivity; DID method; R&D on agriculture 1. Introduction Poyang Lake, which is located in the northern part of Jiangxi Province and connects to the lower Yangtze River, is the largest freshwater lake in China.
