Zhaoqing – Literally “Source of Fortuitousness” – Has a History of More Than 2000 Years and Is the Birthplace of Lingnan Culture and Guangfu Culture Event code: M180524WL Zhaoqing – literally “source of fortuitousness” – has a history of more than 2000 years and is the birthplace of Lingnan culture and Guangfu culture. Located in the central-west part of Guangdong province, Zhaoqing is one of the 11 cities in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and acts as a gateway connecting China’s south-west region, a role in keeping with the national strategy of boosting “east-west connectivity.” In recent years, Zhaoqing has been undergoing a programme of industrial upgrading, including creating a scientific development area for the Pearl River Delta area and a new industrial base in Guangdong. It has also established Zhaoqing New District, an integrated green zone in the city. At the same time, Zhaoqing is also vigorously promoting its cultural heritage, to ensure it becomes a livable location and an international tourist resort as it transforms into a smart and innovative city. The Qiaomengyuan Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs Zone, in Zengcheng, Guangdong Province, was established by the State Overseas Chinese Affairs Office to provide a variety of industrial zones and entrepreneurship clusters to enable overseas Chinese to start businesses. To better understand the latest developments in Zhaoqing and in the Zengcheng Qiamomengyuen Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs Zone, the China Committee is organizing a delegation to visit the two places from 24 to 25 May. Apart from calling on local officials to discuss the development of the GBA, the delegation will also visit some key enterprises in Zhaoqing.

  • Strongly Heterogeneous Transmission of COVID–19 in Mainland China: Local and Regional Variation

It is made available under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license . Strongly heterogeneous transmission of COVID–19 in mainland China: local and regional variation Yuke Wang, MSc1, Peter Teunis, PhD1 March 10, 2020 Summary Background The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) started in the city of Wuhan, China, with a period of rapid initial spread. Transmission on a regional and then national scale was promoted by intense travel during the holiday period of the Chinese New Year. We studied the variation in transmission of COVID-19, locally in Wuhan, as well as on a larger spatial scale, among different cities and even among provinces in mainland China. Methods In addition to reported numbers of new cases, we have been able to assemble detailed contact data for some of the initial clusters of COVID-19. This enabled estimation of the serial interval for clinical cases, as well as reproduction numbers for small and large regions. Findings We estimated the average serial interval was 4·8 days. For early transmission in Wuhan, any infectious case produced as many as four new cases, transmission outside Wuhan was less in- tense, with reproduction numbers below two. During the rapid growth phase of the outbreak the region of Wuhan city acted as a hot spot, generating new cases upon contact, while locally, in other provinces, transmission was low.

  • Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of 2014 Dengue Outbreak
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of 2014 Dengue Outbreak in Guangdong, China Received: 23 August 2017 Mattia Sanna 1, Jianyong Wu2,3,4,5, Yanshan Zhu2,3,4,5, Zhicong Yang6, Jiahai Lu2,3,4,5 & Accepted: 22 December 2017 Ying-Hen Hsieh1,7 Published: xx xx xxxx The record-breaking number of dengue cases reported in Guangdong, China in 2014 has been topic for many studies. However, the spatial and temporal characteristics of this unexpectedly explosive outbreak are still poorly understood. We adopt an integrated approach to ascertain the spatial- temporal progression of the outbreak in each city in Guangdong as well as in each district in Guangzhou, where the majority of cases occurred. We utilize the Richards model, which determines the waves of reported cases at each location and identifes the turning point for each wave, in combination with a spatial association analysis conducted by computing the standardized G* statistic that measures the degree of spatial autocorrelation of a set of geo-referenced data from a local perspective. We found that Yuexiu district in Guangzhou was the initial hot spot for the outbreak, subsequently spreading to its neighboring districts in Guangzhou and other cities in Guangdong province. Hospital isolation of cases during early stage of outbreak in neighboring Zhongshan (in efort to prevent disease transmission to the vectors) might have played an important role in the timely mitigation of the disease. Integration of modeling approach and spatial association analysis allows us to pinpoint waves that spread the disease to communities beyond the borders of the initially afected regions.
