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.

I. Project Context Country Context China’s economy grew 10 percent a year on average over the last three decades. Over 500 million Public Disclosure Authorized people were lifted out of poverty during this time (World Bank and Development Research Center of the State Council, 2013). Since the national law on compulsory education was passed in 1982, access to education has significantly improved. While the basic education cycle spans 15 years, a nine-year education cycle comprising primary and junior secondary school is compulsory for the nation’s children. The adult literacy rate has increased from 66 percent in 1982 to 96 percent in 2015. In addition to improvements in access, results from international student assessments – such as the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s (OECD) Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) – demonstrate that the country is home to some of the best performing school systems in the world (World Bank, 2016). This socioeconomic progress of the past 30 years has raised the well-being of the population. China has made large strides in human development in terms of increased average life expectancy, education, and average income.

  • Evaluation of Sustainable Development of Resources-Based Cities in Shanxi Province Based on Unascertained Measure
    sustainability Article Evaluation of Sustainable Development of Resources-Based Cities in Shanxi Province Based on Unascertained Measure Yong-Zhi Chang and Suo-Cheng Dong * Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-64889430; Fax: +86-10-6485-4230 Academic Editor: Marc A. Rosen Received: 31 March 2016; Accepted: 16 June 2016; Published: 22 June 2016 Abstract: An index system is established for evaluating the level of sustainable development of resources-based cities, and each index is calculated based on the unascertained measure model for 11 resources-based cities in Shanxi Province in 2013 from three aspects; namely, economic, social, and resources and environment. The result shows that Taiyuan City enjoys a high level of sustainable development and integrated development of economy, society, and resources and environment. Shuozhou, Changzhi, and Jincheng have basically realized sustainable development. However, Yangquan, Linfen, Lvliang, Datong, Jinzhong, Xinzhou and Yuncheng have a low level of sustainable development and urgently require a transition. Finally, for different cities, we propose different countermeasures to improve the level of sustainable development. Keywords: resources-based cities; sustainable development; unascertained measure; transition 1. Introduction In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) proposed the concept of “sustainable development”. In 1996, the first official reference to “sustainable cities” was raised at the Second United Nations Human Settlements Conference, namely, as being comprised of economic growth, social equity, higher quality of life and better coordination between urban areas and the natural environment [1].

  • Preliminary Determinations in the Antidumping Duty Investigations On
    FACT SHEET Preliminary Determinations in the Antidumping Duty Investigations on Certain Frozen and Canned Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam On July 6, the Department announced its preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on imports of certain frozen and canned warmwater shrimp from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). We preliminarily find that with the exception of one Chinese producer/exporter, Zhangjiang Guolian Aquatic Products Co., Ltd., Chinese and Vietnamese producers/exporters have sold frozen and canned warmwater shrimp in the U.S. market at less than fair value, with margins ranging from 7.67 percent to 112.81 percent for imports from the PRC and 12.11 percent to 93.13 percent for imports from Vietnam. Next Steps: Interested parties are invited to submit comments on these preliminary determinations. The Department will consider all submitted comments along with record evidence before making its final determinations on or about November 24, 2004. If the Department makes a final affirmative determination in either or both investigations, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is scheduled to make its final injury determinations on or about January 8, 2005. If the ITC makes a final affirmative determination that imports are materially injuring, or threatening to materially injure, the domestic industry, the Department will issue antidumping duty orders and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs) to collect cash deposits on imports of subject merchandise. Companies Qualifying for a “Separate Rate”: Based on the voluntary questionnaire responses submitted by certain Chinese and Vietnamese companies, the Department has preliminarily determined that these companies have demonstrated an absence of government control that is required to be eligible to receive “separate-rate” status.

  • Spatiotemporal Analysis of the Dengue Outbreak in Guangdong Province, China Guanghu Zhu1,2,3†, Jianpeng Xiao2†,Taoliu2, Bing Zhang2, Yuantao Hao3 and Wenjun Ma2*
    Zhu et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2019) 19:493 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-019-4015-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Spatiotemporal analysis of the dengue outbreak in Guangdong Province, China Guanghu Zhu1,2,3†, Jianpeng Xiao2†,TaoLiu2, Bing Zhang2, Yuantao Hao3 and Wenjun Ma2* Abstract Background: Dengue is becoming a major public health concern in Guangdong (GD) Province of China. The problem was highlighted in 2014 by an unprecedented explosive outbreak, where the number of cases was larger than the total cases in previous 30 years. The present study aimed to clarify the spatial and temporal patterns of this dengue outbreak. Methods: Based on the district/county-level epidemiological, demographic and geographic data, we first used Moran’s I statistics and Spatial scan method to uncover spatial autocorrelation and clustering of dengue incidence, and then estimated the spatial distributions of mosquito ovitrap index (MOI) by using inverse distance weighting. We finally employed a multivariate time series model to quantitatively decompose dengue cases into endemic, autoregressive and spatiotemporal components. Results: The results indicated that dengue incidence was highly spatial-autocorrelated with the inclination of clustering and nonuniformity. About 12 dengue clusters were discovered around Guangzhou and Foshan with significant differences by district/county, where the most likely cluster with the largest relative risk located in central Guangzhou in October. Three significant high-MOI areas were observed around Shaoguan, Qingyuan, Shanwei and Guangzhou. It was further found the districts in Guagnzhou and Foshan were prone to local autoregressive transmission, and most region in southern and central GD exhibited higher endemic components.

  • China's Development of a Plantation-Based Wood Pulp Industry
    267 International Forestry Review Vol. 6(3-4), 2004 China’s development of a plantation-based wood pulp industry: government policies, financial incentives, and investment trends1 C. BARR and C. COSSALTER Senior Policy Scientist, Forests and Governance Programme, CIFOR, Jalan CIFOR, Situ Gede, Sindangbarang, Bogor Barat 16680, Indonesia Senior Plantation Scientist, Forests and Environmental Services Programme, Jalan CIFOR, Situ Gede, Sindang- barang, Bogor Barat 16680, Indonesia Email: [email protected] and [email protected] SUMMARY The Chinese government is aggressively promoting development of a domestic wood pulp industry, integrated with a plan- tation-based fiber supply and downstream paper production. It is doing so by providing discounted loans from state banks, fiscal incentives, and capital subsidies for establishment of at least 5.8 million hectares of fast-growing pulpwood planta- tions. This article examines the development of bleached hardwood kraft pulp (BHKP) mills in South China, including the Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) Jinhai mill in Hainan Province and the proposed Fuxing pulp mill project in Guangdong Province. Both mills face fiber shortfalls over the medium term, and significant new investments in plantation development will be needed to provide a sustainable fiber supply at the mills? projected capacity levels. However, there are few sites in south- ern coastal China where fiber can be grown at internationally competitive costs. In most instances, the cost of Chinese plan- tation pulpwood will be considerably higher than in countries like Indonesia and Brazil, raising important questions about the economic competitiveness of Chinese pulp producers even within their home market. Keywords: China; wood pulp, plantations, Asia Pulp & Paper, Fuxing INTRODUCTION tic producers modernize their operations and as in- ternational producers seek to capture a share of Chi- During the last 15 years, China has emerged as a lea- na’s growing market (He and Barr, in this issue).
