  • 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; a2455951071@qq.com *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.

Performing the role of leader of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping clearly recognizes the power of symbolic acts, as well as the need for rhetorically updated frameworks, in Chinese diplomacy.1 Xi's characterizations of Chinese foreign policy under his leadership are numerous, and each one, if implemented with the necessary vigour, could bring about a shift in relations with Pyongyang.

  • Economic and Social Implications of China-DPRK Border Trade for China’S Northeast Region
    ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF CHINA -DPRK BORDER TRADE FOR CHINA ’S NORTHEAST LI DUNQIU EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper assesses the economic and social implications of China-DPRK border trade for China’s Northeast region. Main Argument A large portion of China’s trade with the DPRK is done through ports in China’s northeast region. This border trade has led to broader infrastructural links between the two nations, and is viewed as highly important to both China’s northeast and North Korea for the following reasons: • Border trade helps stimulate market demand and helps to revive the local economies in China’s northeast. • Border trade has played an important role in helping alleviate North Korea’s grain crisis and energy and raw materials shortages. • Border trade contributes to the security of the borderlands, especially owing to its role in easing North Korea’s commodity shortages. • Border trade has brought an unintended consequence of increasing the market awareness of North Korean border residents. This may facilitate the economic reform and opening-up of the DPRK. Policy Implications • Trade with Northeast China may help promote economic and structural reforms in North Korea, especially as North Koreans grow accustomed to practices associated with market economies. • North Korean trade may be of great benefit to China, and as North Korea’s economic recovery progresses Northeast China’s exports to the region will also expand. Introduction Economic cooperation between China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) takes such forms as trade, aid and investment, among which trade is the most important one.

    Table of Contents Regional Overview:………………………………………………………………………1 Regime Change / Preemption Vs. Disarmament / Multilateralism: The U.S. Foreign Policy Debate Continues by Ralph A. Cossa, Pacific Forum CSIS Concerns and complaints about Washington’s Iraq policy and its broader approach toward the war on terrorism, and speculation regarding North Korea’s diplomacy dominated East Asia security dialogue during the last quarter. This time last year, the world had rallied behind the U.S. in the wake of Sept. 11. Much of that support and goodwill has dissipated. The reasons vary and are complex but two words are central to any explanation: Iraq and preemption; the latter being put forth not only in the Iraqi context but as the basis of a new national security strategy. Their long-term impact on America’s East Asian relationships remains unclear; China-U.S. relations in particular could be challenged. Equally unclear is the impact of the DPRK’s recent “smile diplomacy,” which has seen an unprecedented effort by Pyongyang simultaneously to improve relations with Seoul, Tokyo, and Washington. Meanwhile, multilateralism seems to be thriving in East Asia, both with the U.S. and without. U.S.-Japan Relations:…………………………………………………………………..13 An Oasis of Stability by Brad Glosserman, Pacific Forum CSIS It has been another peaceful quarter for U.S.-Japan relations. That the bilateral relationship could be so calm despite the tumult in international diplomacy is testimony to the strength and stability of the alliance. Prime Minister Koizumi’s surprise visit to Pyongyang and the U.S.’s full court press to get the international community to take action against Iraq have provided ample opportunities for friction.

    Classification of Container Ports on the Basis of Networks PARK, Yong-An; MEDDA, Francesca CLASSIFICATION OF CONTAINER PORTS ON THE BASIS OF NETWORKS PARK, Yong-An MEDDA, Francesca 1. INTRODUCTION Ports have always functioned as loading centres for cargo, and although historically many ports were pivotal to international trade, many others also failed to sustain their role over time. Hub ports such as the ports of London after the era of the Industrial Revolution, the New York port and the port of Kobe in Japan each experienced a downturn of their status after an impressive debut in international trade. However, to determine the factors which raise the profiles of ports as centres of international trade and as hubs is not a straightforward analytical exercise. A major challenge for researchers nowadays is to pinpoint and analyze the relationship between a port and its region in view of economic activity. From this perspective, our particular concern in this work is to explore the function and classification of container ports and port cities in relation to the networks that connect them inland and outward. The literature on ports from historical, archaeological, geographical, economic, and even anthropological perspectives is plentiful. Various studies have focused on the hierarchy definition among ports in the shipping network (UNCTAD, 1990; Zeng and Yang, 2002). But others have examined the development and impacts of port growth, in particular how a port evolves in response to changes in its environment (UNCTAD, 1992; Hoyle, 2000; Lee et al., 2008), and how a port impacts on its region, from positive agglomeration effects (Fujita and Mori, 1996) to specific economic obstructions in developing countries (Naude, 2009).
