This will be my fourth and final PMUNC. My name is Nicholas Wu, and I’m a senior in the Woodrow Wilson School, pursuing certificates in American Studies and East Asian Studies. It’s my honor to chair this year’s crisis committee on the Taiping Rebellion. It’s a conflict that fascinates me. The Taiping Rebellion was the largest civil war in human history, but it barely receives any attention in your standard world history class. Which is a shame — it’s a multilayered conflict. There are ethnic, economic, and religious issues at play, as well as significant foreign involvement. I hope that you all find it as interesting as I do. On campus, I’m currently figuring out how to write my thesis, and I’m pretty sure that I’m going to be researching the implementation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). I’m also involved with the International Relations Council, the Daily Princetonian, the Asian American Students Association, and Princeton Advocates for Justice. I also enjoy cooking. Best of luck at the conference! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. You can email me anytime at [email protected].

Chung A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY CALGARY, ALBERTA SEPTEMBER, 2013 © Chris Chung 2013 Abstract Four archipelagos in the South China Sea are territorially disputed: the Paracel, Spratly, and Pratas Islands, and Macclesfield Bank. The People’s Republic of China and Republic of China’s claims are embodied by a nine-dashed U-shaped boundary line originally drawn in an official Chinese map in 1948, which encompasses most of the South China Sea. Neither side has clarified what the line represents. Using ancient Chinese maps and texts, archival documents, relevant treaties, declarations, and laws, this thesis will conclude that it is best characterized as an islands attribution line, which centres the claim simply on the islands and features themselves.

  • What Does China Want?
    What Does China Want? by Ross Terrill hen China first intrigued America, in the late 18th century, we desired its tea and silk. The American missionaries and traders who reached Canton and other ports did not trouble to reflect Won what China might want of us—nothing more than the Christian gospel and gadgets and tobacco, they seemed to assume. In the years since, Americans sel- dom have had occasion to ponder the question. The historical pattern was that 5 0 Wilson Quarterly Shanghai’s Pudong financial district, sprouting on former farmlands across the Huangpu River from the city’s famous 19th-century Bund, has already established itself as one of Asia’s financial hubs. America influenced China, and that unequal dynamic climaxed in the World War II alliance with Chiang Kai-shek’s shaky Kuomintang gov- ernment against the fascist powers. In the 1940s it was presumed that China desired simply to recov- er from Japanese occupation, poverty, disunity, and corruption. When “our China,” the Nationalist regime of Chiang, went up in a puff of smoke at the end of the 1940s and the Communists took over Beijing, China became The Other. In the acrimonious years after Mao Zedong’s triumph in 1949, China was beyond our influence. But we knew what China wanted: Mao had warned that he would “lean to one side,” and soon he declared, “The Soviet Union’s today is China’s tomorrow.” We were the “imperialists,” and Mao was against us. After Moscow and Beijing quarreled in the early 1960s and the Vietnam War escalated later in the decade, what China wanted became more complex.

  • Nitrogen Contamination in the Yangtze River System, China
    中国科技论文在线 http://www.paper.edu.cn Journal of Hazardous Materials A73Ž. 2000 107±113 www.elsevier.nlrlocaterjhazmat Nitrogen contamination in the Yangtze River system, China Chen Jingsheng ), Gao Xuemin, He Dawei, Xia Xinghui Department of Urban and EnÕironmental Science, Peking UniÕersity, Beijing 100871, People's Republic of China Received 29 July 1998; received in revised form 25 April 1999; accepted 2 October 1999 Abstract The data at 570 monitoring stations during 1990 were studied. The results indicate as follows: Ž.i the contents of nitrogen in the Yangtze mainstream has a raising trend from the upper reaches to the lower reaches;Ž. ii total nitrogen content at a lot of stations during the middle 1980s is 5±10 times more than that during the 1960s;Ž. iii seasonal variances of nitrogen content vary with watersheds; andŽ. iv the difference of nitrogen contamination level is related to the regional population and economic development. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: China; The Yangtze River; Nitrogen contamination 1. Introduction The Yangtze River is the largest river in China, and its mainstream is 6300-km long and drainage area is about 1.8=106 km2. The natural and economic conditions vary largely with regions. The degree of nitrogen contamination differs from one area to another. Since 1956, the Water Conservancy Ministry of China had set up more than 900 chemical monitoring stations in succession on 500 rivers all over the country. Within 1958±1990, a quantity of water-quality data, including nitrogen, was accumulated but nobody has studied them systematically.

  • Report on Shanghai Water Projects
    Consulate General of Switzerland in Shanghai Commercial Section ISSUE NO.4 July 2003 Report on Shanghai Water Projects ‘A glass of water with half a glass of dirt’ was the vivid picture of the quality of drinking water in Shanghai some 25 years ago. People could still clearly remember the strange taste of the water at that time. Half a century’s industrialisation not only led to Shanghai’s fast development, but also to serious environmental problems. As the Chinese saying goes, a city with a river running through it is a city full of life. But this cannot be applied to Shanghai. Having two heavily polluted rivers running across the city, the Huangpu River and the Suzhou Creek, Shanghai has to deal with two problematic water currants. Back to even five years ago, walking along the famous Bund area was not a pleasant experience because of the bad smell emanating from the Huangpu River. For people living close to the Suzhou Creek, the situation was even worse. People had to keep windows closed day and night to avoid the foul smell from the water in the neighbourhood. Instead of being green and clear, the Creek was black and opaque, full of sewage. The drinking water for urban residents is seriously polluted as it comes mainly from outlying sections of these two rivers － the upper stretch of the Huangpu River near the Songpu Bridge in Minhang District, and the river mouth where the Yangtze River merges with the East China Sea. Faced with the threat of worsening water pollution, and demands of meeting international environmental standards, the Shanghai government decided to adopt measures for improving the environmental situation in the city.

    Dams on the Mekong A literature review of the politics of water governance influencing the Mekong River Karl-Inge Olufsen Spring 2020 Master thesis in Human geography at the Department of Sociology and Human Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Words: 28,896 08.07.2020 II Dams on the Mekong A literature review of the politics of water governance influencing the Mekong River III © Karl-Inge Olufsen 2020 Dams on the Mekong: A literature review of the politics of water governance influencing the Mekong River Karl-Inge Olufsen http://www.duo.uio.no/ IV Summary This thesis offers a literature review on the evolving human-nature relationship and effect of power struggles through political initiatives in the context of Chinese water governance domestically and on the Mekong River. The literature review covers theoretical debates on scale and socionature, combining them into one framework to understand the construction of the Chinese waterscape and how it influences international governance of the Mekong River. Purposive criterion sampling and complimentary triangulation helped me do rigorous research despite relying on secondary sources. Historical literature review and integrative literature review helped to build an analytical narrative where socionature and scale explained Chinese water governance domestically and on the Mekong River. Through combining the scale and socionature frameworks I was able to build a picture of the hybridization process creating the Chinese waterscape. Through the historical review, I showed how water has played an important part for creating political legitimacy and influencing, and being influenced, by state-led scalar projects. Because of this importance, throughout history the Chinese state has favored large state-led scalar projects for the governance of water.

    Wang et al.: Study on ecological risk assessment of different land use types based on HMER model – taking the Daxia River in Gansu, China as an example - 13341 - STUDY ON ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENT LAND USE TYPES BASED ON HMER MODEL – TAKING THE DAXIA RIVER IN GANSU, CHINA AS AN EXAMPLE WANG, S. – ZHANG, C.* – JI, H. – ZHANG, Y. – LOU, T. College of Computer Science & Engineering, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] (Received 10th Jun 2019; accepted 28th Aug 2019) Abstract. The effective heavy metal content of soil indicates ecological environmental risks. The study takes the typical watershed area in northwestern China as a research area. The real-time and rapid risk assessment of ecological environment can be achieved through the monitoring value of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of remote sensing information and environmental factors, and a heavy metal ecological risk assessment model (HMER) for the evaluation of the watershed is built. The research results show that the change of the effective heavy metal content in different areas of the watershed is affected to some extent by the influence of geographical location and human activities. Among them NDVI and the content of heavy metals, precipitation and temperature, and a nonlinear relationship between the average heavy metal content and the ecological risk index HRI. The establishment of HMER research model is applied to different land use types to evaluate the ecological risk level of the watershed, explore the ecological risk level of different land use types in the same region, and in different regions.

  • Application of Envisat ASAR Image in Near Real Time Flood Monitoring
    Application of Envisat ASAR Image in Near Real Time Flood monitoring and Assessment in China Huang, Shifeng Prof., Remote Sensing Technology Application Center, China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, Beijing, China ABSTACT: China is one of the countries in which flood occurs most frequently in the world and with the current economic growth; flood disaster causes more and more economic losses. Chinese government pays more attention to flood monitoring and assessment by space technology. Since1983, NOAA(AVHRR), Landsat-TM, LANDSAT-ETM+, JERS-1, SPOT, ERS-2, Radarsat-1, CBERS-1, Envisat have been used for flood monitoring and assessment. Due to the bad weather conditions during flood, microwave remote sensing is the major tools for flood monitoring. Envisat is one of the best satellite with powerful SAR. Its application for flood monitoring has been studied and its near real time(NRT) application can be realized on the basis of real-time delivery of image. During the 2005, 2006 and 2007 flood seasons, over the 31 NRT flood monitoring based on Envisat, had been carried out in Yangtze, Songua, Huaihe, pearl river basin. The result shows that Envisat SAR is very useful data source for flood disaster monitoring and assessment. 1. INTRODUCTION China is one of the countries in which flood occurs most frequently in the world and with the current economic growth; flood disaster causes more and more economic losses. Remote sensing ( RS ) technology has its special superiority and potentiality for disaster monitoring and assessment , so it has been applied for this purpose for a long time in the whole world, especially for the disaster resulting from floods and waterlogging.

  • Impact of Changes in Land Use and Climate on the Runoff in Dawen River Basin Based on SWAT Model - 2849
    Zhao et al.: Impact of changes in land use and climate on the runoff in Dawen River Basin based on SWAT model - 2849 - IMPACT OF CHANGES IN LAND USE AND CLIMATE ON THE RUNOFF BASED ON SWAT MODEL IN DAWEN RIVER BASIN, CHINA ZHAO, Q.* – GAO, Q. – ZOU, C. H. – YAO, T. – LI, X. M. School of Water Conservancy and Environment, University of Jinan 336 Nanxinzhuang West Road, Jinan 250022, Shandong Province, China (phone: +86-135-8910-8827) *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +86-135-8910-8827 (Received 8th Oct 2018; accepted 25th Jan 2019) Abstract. A distributed hydrological model (SWAT), which is widely used both domestically and internationally, was selected to quantitatively analyze the impact of land use and climate change on runoff in this paper in Dawen River Basin, China. The calibration and validation results obtained at Daicunba and Laiwu hydrological stations yield R2 values of 0.83 and 0.80 and 0.73 and 0.69 and the Ens values of 0.79 and 0.76 and 0.71 and 0.72, respectively. Taking 1980-1990 as the reference period, the annual runoff increased by 288 million m3, which was caused by changes in the land use of basin from 1991 to 2004, whereas the annual runoff decreased by 132 million m3 due to climate change. Land use changed from 2005 to 2015, which resulted in an increase in annual runoff of 13 million m3, and annual changes in climate caused a decrease in annual runoff of 61 million m3. An extreme land use scenario simulation analysis shows that, compared to the current land use simulation in 2000, the runoff of cultivated land scenarios and forest land scenarios was reduced by 38.3% and 19.8%, respectively, and the runoff of grassland scenarios increased by 4.3%.

  • History, Background, Context
    42 History, Background, Context The history of the Qing dynasty is of course the history of hundreds upon hundreds of millions of people. The volume, density, and complexity of the information contained in this history--"history" in the sense of the totality of what really happened and why--even if it were available would be beyond the capacity of any single individual to comprehend. Thus what follows is "history" in another sense--a selective recreation of the past in written form--in this case a sketch of basic facts about major episodes and events drawn from secondary sources which hopefully will provide a little historical background and allow the reader to place Pi Xirui and Jingxue lishi within a historical context. While the history of the Qing dynasty proper begins in 1644, history is continuous. The Jurchen (who would later call themselves Manchus), a northeastern tribal people, had fought together with the Chinese against the Japanese in the 1590s when the Japanese invaded Korea. However in 1609, after a decade of increasing military strength, their position towards the Chinese changed, becoming one of antagonism. Nurhaci1 努爾哈赤 (1559-1626), a leader who had united the Jurchen tribes, proclaimed himself to be their chieftain or Khan in 1616 and also proclaimed the 1See: ECCP, p.594-9, for his biography. 43 founding of a new dynasty, the Jin 金 (also Hou Jin 後金 or Later Jin), signifying that it was a continuation of the earlier Jurchen dynasty which ruled from 1115-1234. In 1618, Nurhaci led an army of 10,000 with the intent of invading China.
