It was once a barren land but is now home to 75,000 hectares of forest, thanks to the labor of generations of forestry workers in the past 55 years. Every year the forest purifies 137 million cubic meters of water and absorbs 747,000 tons of carbon dioxide. The forest produces 12 billion yuan (around US$1.8 billion) of ecological value annually, according to the Chinese Academy of Forestry. 12 May 2O18 Administrative Agency: 主管：中国外文出版发行事业局 China International Publishing Group （中国国际出版集团） Publisher: China Pictorial Publications 主办: 社 Address: 社址: 33 Chegongzhuang Xilu 北京市海淀区车公庄西路33号 Haidian, Beijing 100048 邮编: 100048 Email: [email protected] 邮箱: [email protected] President: 社长: Yu Tao 于 涛 Editorial Board: 编委会: Yu Tao, Li Xia, He Peng 于 涛、李 霞、贺 鹏 Wang Lei, Bao Linfu, Yu Jia, Yan Ying 王 磊、鲍林富、于 佳、闫 颖 Editor-in-Chief: Li Xia 总编辑: 李 霞 Editorial Directors: 编辑部主任: Wen Zhihong, Qiao Zhenqi 温志宏、乔振祺 English Editor: Liu Haile 英文定稿: 刘海乐 Editorial Consultants: 语言顾问: Scott Huntsman, Mithila Phadke 苏 格、弥萨罗 Editors and Translators: 编辑、翻译: Gong Haiying, Yin Xing 龚海莹、殷 星 Zhao Yue, Zhang Xue, Wang Shuya 赵 月、张 雪、王舒雅 Li Zhuoxi, Xu Shuyuan 李卓希、许舒园 Zhou Xin, Hu Zhoumeng 周 昕、胡周萌 Li Yiqi, Lu Anqi 李艺琦、鲁安琪 Operation: Zhang Yingjie 编务: 张英杰 Design: Alinea Productions 设计: 利雅法盛 Web Maintenance and 网络总监、 Graphic Design Specialist: 数据设计师: Andrey Maleev 安德烈 马列耶夫 Advertising Department: 广告部： Telephone: 86-10-88417354 电话: 010-88417354 or 88417419 88417419 Publishing and Distribution Director: 出版发行部主任： Qiu Mingli 邱明丽 Telephone: 86-10-68412660 电话: 010-68412660 Remittance to: 邮购收款人： Publishing and Distribution Department, 人民画报社出版 China Pictorial 发行部 Legal Adviser: Yue Cheng 法律顾问: 岳 成 Printing: Toppan Leefung Changcheng 印刷:北京利丰雅高长城 Printing (Beijing) Co., Ltd. 印刷有限公司 Overseas Distribution: China International Book Trading Corporation (Guoji Shudian), 35 Chegongzhuang Xilu, P.o.

    Initial Exploration of a Protection System for Historical and Cultural Towns and Villages in Hainan, China

    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XV 297 INITIAL EXPLORATION OF A PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES IN HAINAN, CHINA WANG ZHENYU Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China ABSTRACT The long course of Chinese national history runs from a remote source. Since China has a vast territory, different regions formed a variety of regional cultures with different natural environments and era evolutions. Historical and cultural towns and villages not only exist as individual entities, but also as integrated urban and rural settlements and regional cultures. This paper presents the methodologies for the protection of historical towns and villages in the phase of systematic planning in Hainan Province. The research begin with looking at Hainan’s regional culture, adopting the research method of anthropology and regional heritage to retrace the culture of Hainan’s towns and villages, analysing the status quo, and on this basis, building a framework of Hainan historical towns and villages in promotion of its rational protection and development. Keywords: historical and cultural towns and villages, land use, Meso-scale space unit, non-motor- vehicle travel. 1 INTRODUCTION Hainan is a tropical island in southern China with beautiful scenery; its special natural environment has created an exotic culture. Today, most people see Hainan as an international scenic spot; however, less attention is paid to Hainan’s culture and traditions, which, to some extent, results in a lack of cultural construction. Historical and cultural villages and towns are important space carriers of Hainan culture; therefore, the construction of provincial-level historical and cultural towns and villages to protect the historical and cultural heritage of Hainan is essential.

However, there have been difficulties in retrieving spatial information from OSM. Ontology is an effective knowledge organization and representation method that is often used to enrich the search capabilities of search systems. This paper constructed an OSM ontology model with semantic property items. A query expansion method is also proposed based on the similarity of properties of the ontology model. Moreover, a relevant experiment is conducted using OSM data related to China. The experimental results demonstrate that the recall and precision of the proposed method reach 80% and 87% for geographic information retrieval, respectively. This study provides a method that can be used as a reference for subsequent research on spatial information retrieval. Keywords: geographical information retrieval; OSM ontology; sematic similarity; query expansion 1.

This rise has led China becomes the world’s second largest economy and also the world’s largest military. This situation however pushed China to fulfill the increasing demand of energy and to seek for the alternative route. By sharing 2,204 kilometers of its border with China and has direct access to the Indian Ocean, Myanmar becomes a land bridge to get the access to Indian Ocean. Myanmar locates on tri-junction Southeast, South and East Asia and very abundance with natural resources. In the name of Pauk-Phaw, China and Myanmar relations has been existing since the ancient times and both countries have maintained substantive relations. In the context of belt and road initiative, China has implemented its defense policy through the economic and military cooperation with Myanmar. This research therefore explains the implementation of China’s defense policy in Sino-Myanmar defense cooperation to strengthening its position in the Indian Ocean in the context of belt and road initiative from 2013 until 2017.
  • Section 3: China's Strategic Aims in Africa

    Section 3: China's Strategic Aims in Africa

    SECTION 3: CHINA’S STRATEGIC AIMS IN AFRICA Key Findings • Beijing has long viewed African countries as occupying a cen- tral position in its efforts to increase China’s global influence and revise the international order. Over the last two decades, and especially under General Secretary of the Chinese Com- munist Party (CCP) Xi Jinping’s leadership since 2012, Beijing has launched new initiatives to transform Africa into a testing ground for the export of its governance system of state-led eco- nomic growth under one-party, authoritarian rule. • Beijing uses its influence in Africa to gain preferential access to Africa’s natural resources, open up markets for Chinese exports, and enlist African support for Chinese diplomatic priorities on and beyond the continent. The CCP flexibly tailors its approach to different African countries with the goal of instilling admira- tion and at times emulation of China’s alternative political and governance regime. • China is dependent on Africa for imports of fossil fuels and commodities constituting critical inputs in emerging technology products. Beijing has increased its control of African commodi- ties through strategic direct investment in oil fields, mines, and production facilities, as well as through resource-backed loans that call for in-kind payments of commodities. This control threatens the ability of U.S. companies to access key supplies. • As the top bilateral financier of infrastructure projects across Africa, China plays an important role in addressing the short- age of infrastructure on the continent. China’s financing is opaque and often comes with onerous terms, however, leading to rising concerns of economic exploitation, dependency, and po- litical coercion.
