Please provide a map showing the location and distance of Nanchang City from Fuqing, as well as information on travel time between the two locations. The attached extract from a China map published by Collins shows that Nanchang City, Jiangxi province is approximately 500kms (in a direct line) north west of Fuqing, Fujian province. Fuqing is approximately 50kms to the south east of Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian. Information on the China Travel Guide website indicates that the distance between Fuzhou and Nanchang by train is 617-618kms (‘China [Extract]’ 2003, Collins, Rev. Ed., London – Attachment 1; ‘Fuzhou to Nanchang Train Schedule’ (undated), China Travel Guide website http://www.chinatravelguide.com/ctgwiki/Special:CNTrainSearch?from=Fuzhou&to=Nanch ang&Submit1=submit – Accessed 12 November 2008 – Attachment 2). Sources indicate that train travel between Fuzhou and Nanchang takes around 10-12 hours, depending on the type of train (‘Fuzhou to Nanchang Train Schedule’ (undated), China Travel Guide website http://www.chinatravelguide.com/ctgwiki/Special:CNTrainSearch?from=Fuzhou&to=Nanch ang&Submit1=submit – Accessed 12 November 2008 – Attachment 2; ‘Fuzhou to Nanchang’ (undated), Travel China Guide website http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china- trains/display.asp?from1=fuzhou&tp=1&to1=nanchang&Submit32=SUBMIT – Accessed 12 November 2008 – Attachment 3; Harper, Damien et al. 2005, Lonely Planet: China, May, Lonely Planet Publications, Footscray, 9th ed., p.466 – Attachment 4).1 2.

State Security Bureau Sources indicate that the State Security Bureau operates under the Ministry of State Security and appears to be also referred to as the State Security Police or the secret police. The bureaus are established in the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions of China. It reportedly has the responsibility of preventing foreign espionage, sabotage and conspiracies. The use of religion may be considered a sabotage activity that could endanger state security. Scant information was found in the sources consulted on the State Security Bureau in Nanchang City, Jiangxi province. A March 2001 Daily Telegraph article reported that State Security Bureau officers, the secret police, ordered journalists to return to the provincial capital, Nanchang, when reporting the deaths of children killed in an explosion (Rennie, David 2001, ‘China cover-up on school blast’, Daily Telegraph, 9 March – Attachment 14). 1 Lonely Planet guidebooks strive to provide travellers everywhere with reliable, comprehensive and independent travel information. Lonely Planet authors are seasoned travellers who are also writers and researchers. Travellers can also submit information on a voluntary basis. The guidebooks provide general information on the country’s history, culture, environment, health and language. The guidebooks also provide information on cities and towns with reference to accommodation, transport and entertainment. Lonely Planet guidebooks provide useful maps of regions, cities and towns. Most Lonely Planet guidebooks are updated on a two-year cycle. Lonely Planet can be a useful research tool for general background information only such as the location of a place of worship in a town, the address of a post office, the contact details of a hospital, the time taken to travel from A to B etc. Care should be exercised when using Lonely Planet for any other reason. An Asia News article referred to the “State security police” and the “state security bureau” in the context of reporting on police surveillance. The Economist described the “State Security Bureau” as “secret police” (‘Police watchful ahead of June 4’ 2005, Asia News, 2 June http://www.asianews.it/view.php?l=en&art=3424 – Accessed 6 June 2005 – Attachment 8; ‘News from the Forbidden Citius, Altius, Fortius’ 2008, The Economist, 7 August http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11900723 – Accessed 13 November 2008 – Attachment 9). A 1998 source cited by the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board in 2004 referred to the State Security Police as follows: The State Security Police This type of police was established in 1983. It has the responsibility to safeguard the state security, to prevent foreign espionage, sabotage and conspiracies. The state security police are under the leadership of the Ministry of State Security, which is also one of the government organs, directly accountable to the State Council (Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada 2004, CHN42317.E – China: Structure of the police force; whether witness protection programs exist, or other forms of police or state protection for individuals who fear members of organized crime groups (2000-2004), 26 January – Attachment 10). A 1997 journal article noted on the state security police: State security police In comparison with public security police, state security police, established in 1983, is a relatively new police force. In contrast to public security police’s wide range of responsibilities, state security police are responsible solely for the protection of state security. Their main function is to prevent foreign espionage, sabotage and conspiracies. State security police are under the leadership of the Ministry of State Security. At the provincial level, state security bureaus are established in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. As circumstances require, state security bureaus are also established in selected municipalities directly under provincial governments. These municipalities usually are those located in coastal areas or those that have frequent contacts with foreign countries (Du and Zhang, 1990; Yuan and Sun, 1986)…(Ma, Yue 1997, ‘The Police Law 1995: organization, functions, powers and accountability of the Chinese police’, Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, Vol. 20, No. 1, p.117 – Attachment 11). The article continued: The task of protecting the state security used to be performed by public security police. With the implementation of economic reform and the increase in contacts with foreign countries, the government perceived an urgent need to strengthen further the work of state security. The state security police were thus created to perform this duty in particular (Ma, Yue 1997, ‘The Police Law 1995: organization, functions, powers and accountability of the Chinese police’, Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, Vol. 20, No. 1, p.134/note 7 – Attachment 11). In April 1997 Human Rights Watch reported that the State Security Bureau is the principal agency enforcing the State Security Law (Human Rights Watch 1997, China: Whose Security? “State Security” in China’s New Criminal Code, April, Vol. 9, No. 4, p.26 – Attachment 12). Human Rights Watch states: Like the State Secrets Law, the State Security Law states that all citizens of the China are “duty-bound to safeguard national security, honor and interests.” Individuals can be punished if they refuse to answer questions or provide evidence relating to the acts covered in the law. “Offices, institutions and other organizations” are also required to “educate” their staff about protecting state security and “should mobilize and organize personnel in preventing and checking acts of harming state security.” As well as enlisting citizens, the law gives the agencies responsible for enforcing its provisions – principally the

  • On Modeling Environmental Production Characteristics: a Slacks-Based Measure for China’S Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone
    Comput Econ DOI 10.1007/s10614-014-9467-2 On Modeling Environmental Production Characteristics: A Slacks-Based Measure for China’s Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone Ning Zhang · Fanbin Kong · Chih-Chun Kung Accepted: 22 August 2014 © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract Environmental issues are currently of great concern, especially in the area of sustainable development. Thus, data envelopment analysis (DEA) has enjoyed much popularity, given its ability to measure environmental efficiency and shadow prices at the macro-economic level. In this study, we use the duality theory of slacks-based mea- sure in DEA to develop a general procedure for modeling environmental production characteristics. By using the proposed methodology, we can measure environmental technical efficiency, the shadow prices of emissions, and inter-factor substitution pos- sibilities. Further, we use the proposed methodology to carry out an empirical study of the Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone in China. Finally, we suggest some policy implications based on the study’s empirical results. Keywords SBM–DEA · Shadow prices of externalities · Substitution possibilities · Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone 1 Introduction Environmental deterioration is a prevalent side effect of economic growth. To address this issue, the World Commission on Environment and Development introduced the concept of sustainable development in 1987, when it defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Our common future). Since then, there has been increasing interest in environmental production modeling, as environmental efficiency and productivity are both key factors in sustainable development.

  • 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.
