  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

  • Moderate Vs. Mild Cases of Overseas-Imported COVID
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Moderate vs. mild cases of overseas‑imported COVID‑19 in Beijing: a retrospective cohort study Wenliang Zhai1,13, Zujin Luo2,13, Yue Zheng3,13, Dawei Dong4,13, Endong Wu5, Zhengfang Wang6, Junpeng Zhai7, Yujuan Han8, Huan Liu9, Yanran Wang10, Yaohui Feng11, Jing Wang1* & Yingmin Ma12* This study compared the diferences in the clinical manifestations, treatment courses and clinical turnover between mild and moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19). Clinical data of the patients with imported COVID‑19 admitted to Beijing Xiaotangshan Designated Hospital between March 15 and April 30, 2020, were retrospectively analysed. A total of 53 COVID‑19 patients were included, with 21 mild and 32 moderate cases. Compared with the mild group, the moderate group showed signifcant diferences in breathing frequency, lymphocyte count, neutrophil percentage, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, procalcitonin, C‑reactive protein, and dynamic erythrocyte sedimentation rate. In the moderate group, 87.5% exhibited ground‑glass opacities, 14% exhibited consolidative opacities, 53.1% exhibited local lesions and 68.8% exhibited unilateral lesions. The proportion of patients who received antiviral or antibiotic treatment in the moderate group was higher than that in the mild group, and the number of cases that progressed to severe disease in the moderate group was also signifcantly higher (18.7% vs. 0%, p = 0.035). Compared with patients with mild COVID‑19, those with moderate COVID‑19 exhibited more noticeable infammatory reactions, more severe pulmonary imaging manifestations and earlier expression of protective antibodies. The overall turnover of the moderate cases was poorer than that of the mild cases. Population mobility between countries as well as between regions exacerbates the spread of COVID-19, resulting in unprecedented pressure from imported cases1.

  • The Kmt-Ccp Conflict 1945-1949
    CHAPTER 13 THE KMT-CCP CONFLICT 1945-1949 NEGOTIATIONS AND AMERICAN INVOLVEMENT By 1944 the American government had become increasingly anxious to quell the dissension that was undermining the anti-Japanese war effort in China, and forestall a possible civil war that might involve the Soviet Union on the side of the CCP once the Japanese surrendered. The negotiations between the KMT and CCP, broken off after the New Fourth Army incident in 1941, had been resumed by 1943. The Americans became actively involved with the arrival in China of Major General Patrick J. Hurley, President Roosevelt's personal representative to Chiang Kai- shek, in September 1944. Appointed US Ambassador a few months later, Hurley's mission was, among other things,' to unify all the military forces in China for the purpose of defeating Japan'. The Hurley mission: 1944-194j Optimistic interludes to the contrary notwithstanding, the first year of Hurley's efforts to promote reconciliation between the leaders of China's 'two great military establishments' bore little fruit. The Communist position announced by Mao at the Seventh Party Congress in April 1945 called for an end to KMT one-party rule and the inauguration of a coalition government in which the CCP would share power. This proposal gained the enthusiastic support of the nascent peace movement in the KMT areas, where fears of renewed civil conflict were mounting as the fortunes of the Japanese aggressor declined. But it was not the sort of proposal that the KMT government was inclined to favour. Then on the day Japan surrendered, 14 August, Chiang Kai-shek invited Mao to journey to Chungking to discuss the outstanding issues between them.
