In this article we compare this (native) variety with English as a foreign language spoken by other Cantonese speakers, viz. learners of English in Guangzhou (mainland China). We examine whether the notion of standardization is relevant for intonation in this case and thus whether Hong Kong English is different from Cantonese English in a wider perspective, or whether it is justified to treat Hong Kong English and Cantonese English as the same variety (as far as intonation is concerned). We present a comparison between intonational contours of different sentence types in the two varieties, and show that they are very similar. This shows that, in this respect, a learned foreign-language variety can resemble a native variety to a great extent. Index Terms—Hong Kong English, Cantonese-accented English, intonation I. INTRODUCTION Cantonese English may either refer to Hong Kong English (HKE), or to a broader variety of English spoken in the Cantonese-speaking area, including Guangzhou (Wong et al.

Postiglione The University of Hong Kong Qian Huang (黄倩) The University of Hong Kong Abstract Purpose: This article provides a policy review of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) development strategies and their relevance to higher education. Design/Approach/Methods: This article reviews key GBA policies adopted by the central government of China and interprets higher education cooperation policies at provincial and national levels before discussing the opportunities and challenges for higher education. Findings: The GBA Development Strategy aims to build an integrated, innovative, and inter- nationalized economy. It presents an opportunity for universities to attract new funding opportunities as well as to prepare graduates to play a key role in the GBA. The shift toward a high-tech service-led economy would hinge upon creating an effective partnerships platform between industry and higher education institutions. To do so would require greater institutional and professional autonomy for the academic research enterprises. There is also a need for evidence-based policies by the Central and GBA regional governments.

  • A Preliminary Analysis of Chinese-Foreign Higher Education Partnerships in Guangdong, China∗
    US-China Education Review B, March 2019, Vol. 9, No. 3, 79-89 doi: 10.17265/2161-6248/2019.03.001 D D AV I D PUBLISHING Stay Local, Go Global: A Preliminary Analysis of Chinese-Foreign Higher Education Partnerships in Guangdong, China∗ Wong Wei Chin, Yuan Wan, Wang Xun United International College (UIC), Zhuhai, China Yan Siqi London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), London, England As China moves toward a market system after the “reforms and opening-up” policy since the late 1970s, internationalization is receiving widespread attention at many academic institutions in mainland China. Today, there are 70 Sino-Foreign joint institutions (namely, “Chinese-Foreign Higher Education Partnership”) presently operating within the Chinese nation. Despite the fact that the majority of these joint institutions have been developed since the 1990s, surprisingly little work has been published that addresses its physical distribution in China, and the prospects and challenges faced by the faculty and institutions on an operational level. What are the incentives of adopting both Western and Chinese elements in higher education? How do we ensure the higher education models developed in the West can also work well in mainland China? In order to answer the aforementioned questions, the purpose of this paper is therefore threefold: (a) to navigate the current development of internationalization in China; (b) to compare conventional Chinese curriculum with the “hybrid” Chinese-Foreign education model in present Guangdong province, China; and

  • Urban Governance of Economic Upgrading Processes in China the Case of Guangzhou Science City
    Internationales Asienforum, Vol. 41 (2010), No. 1–2, pp. 57–82 Urban Governance of Economic Upgrading Processes in China The Case of Guangzhou Science City FRIEDERIKE SCHRÖDER / MICHAEL WAIBEL Introduction China’s export-oriented regions such as the so-called “factory of the world” – the Pearl River Delta1 (PRD) in south China – have been particularly affected by the global financial and economic crisis. Thousands of migrants mostly working in the low value-added manufacturing sector were laid off due to the closure of plants virtually overnight. However, the crisis hit the region in the middle of a deliberately planned economic upgrading process encouraging the shift of its economic structure from labor-intensive manu- facturing towards higher value-added services and high-tech2 industries. This upgrading process is embedded in the national “Plan for the Reform and Development of the Pearl River Delta (2008 to 2020)” initiated by the National Reform and Development Commission. Hereby, national and provincial governments are seeking to build up a more advanced industrial system by prioritizing the development of modern service industries such as _______________ 1 The PRD is variously defined. In our paper we use this term to include the cities of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, as well as parts of Huizhou and Zhaoqing. This priority development area was designated as “Pearl River Delta Open Economic Region” by the State Council of People Government of China in the mid-1980s (Philipps & Yeh, 1990). The inclusion of the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao in this spatial entity is commonly referred to as the so- called “Greater Pearl River Delta”.

Land subsidence can accelerate the increase in relative sea level, lead to a series of potential hazards, and threaten the stability of the ecological environment and human lives. In this paper, we adopted two commonly used multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MTInSAR) techniques, Small baseline subset (SBAS) and Temporarily coherent point (TCP) InSAR, to monitor the land subsidence along the entire coastline of Guangdong Province. The long-wavelength L-band ALOS/PALSAR-1 dataset collected from 2007 to 2011 is used to generate the average deformation velocity and deformation time series. Linear subsidence rates over 150 mm/yr are observed in the Chaoshan Plain.

Page 1/22 Abstract This study monitors the land subsidence of the whole Pearl River Delta (PRD) (area: ~40,000 km2) in China using the ALOS1/PALSAR data (2006-2011) through the SBAS-InSAR method. We also analyze the relationship between the subsidence and the coastline change, river distribution, geological structure as well as the local terrain. The results show that (1) the land subsidence with the average velocity of 50 mm/year occurred in the low elevation area in the front part of the delta and the coastal area, and the area of the regions subsiding fast than 30 mm/year between 2006 and 2011 is larger than 122 km2; (2) the subsidence order and area estimated in this study are both much larger than that measured in previous studies; (3) the areas along rivers suffered from surface subsidence, due to the thick soft soil layer and frequent human interference; (4) the geological evolution is the intrinsic factor of the surface subsidence in the PRD, but human interference (reclamation, ground water extraction and urban construction) extends the subsiding area and increases the subsiding rate.

  • Chinese Export Paintings in Dutch Public Collections
    The Newsletter | No.77 | Summer 2017 8 | The Study Chinese export paintings in Dutch public collections The collections of seventeen museums, archives and libraries in the Netherlands include a large number of Chinese export paintings,* many of which have finally been unveiled thanks to the new publication Made for Trade – Made in China. Chinese export paintings in Dutch collections: art and commodity.1 Existing research on the corpus deals mostly with the transfer of stylistic aspects; Western and Chinese painting conventions; literary sources; historical models; socio-cultural and aesthetic differences; dating and iconographical issues; and technical analyses regarding conservation of pigments and paper. In contrast, Made for Trade puts a new focus on these paintings: to see them as meaningful information carriers of an unknown culture that derive their legitimacy from the historical China trade,2 and to draw upon current theoretical approaches for treatment of these transnational works of art in future museum practices and strategies. Made for Trade follows the entire trajectory of this specific transcultural painting genre, from the production two centuries ago to the current position. At work in this trajectory are mechanisms between people, institutions and the paintings, which increase or, indeed, diminish the appreciation of this time- and place-specific art. Rosalien van der Poel Terminology labelled ‘Western’ and which, in turn, are modified, re-framed episode has seen a remarkable revivification of late.7 A focus on The term ‘Chinese export painting’ was coined by Western and re-layered by Chinese artists and artisans into new, the Dutch collections is justified due to, among other reasons, art historians,3 following the precedent set by the term ‘Chinese innovative and complex ‘EurAsian’ objects.
