For further information, please contact Brand Management Office / [email protected] FROM THE EDITOR The month-long Delta Green Building Exhibition at Kaohsiung concluded in the end of October. Our team from the Foundation quickly packed and prepared to leave for the UN's climate conference COP23 in Bonn, Germany. This will mark the 11th consecutive year of Delta Foundation's participation in the climate change conference. Over the years, Delta was always there to witness and support the international efforts in climate change. I have been asked the same question by people from various companies: How did Delta begin to get involved in the climate change conference? As a matter of fact, "energy-saving" has always been the core business of Delta. When the foundation aligned itself with this task, carbon emission reduction is no longer just our CSR, but our corporate mission. In the past two years, the global tour of the "Delta Green Building Exhibition" has shown the world our energy-saving technologies. In EcoMobility World Festival & Congress 2017 at Kaohsiung, Delta has attracted the attention from the Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) and they invited Delta to give a speech at their COP23 side event. In this event, Delta shared with the international community how the company helps facilitate sustainable cities. This issue's "Special Report" will share the first-hand observation and reports with our readers. In "About DSM", we are happy to share successful stories from IABG and DRC. Automatic guided vehicles (AGV) running around in the factory to supply products and materials is now a reality. IABG's "Smart AGV Distribution Solution" helped customers to upgrade to smart logistics management, which reduces manpower and costs, and collects data through the interconnect network system. It is one giant step towards smart factories. DRC introduced t "Intelligent Production Optimization Solution," which prevents problems in manufacturing with two main functions: "correlation analysis" and "key factors analysis". Starting from 2018, this column will cover another business focus - Building Automation. The re-organization in 2017 launched an important stage in Delta's rebranding. The result of "2017 Taiwan's International Brand Value Survey" has just revealed that Delta is selected as one of the top 20 international brands from Taiwan for the 7th consecutive year. Our brand value has reached USD 250 million, an 11% growth from 2016, and we are the only company to have achieved double-digit growth for 5 consecutive years. It’s my great pleasure to share this great honor with all Delta colleagues. This issue will also report Vivitek’s success story from Iceland's Lava Center. The 4K high resolution projector with edge-blending and interactive technologies portrayed the magnificent images from the volcanic eruption. Readers will not want to miss all this and more in "Brand Circle". Beginning next year, to make this Brand News Bi-monthly closer to our readers, the "Delta Green Live" column will open for submission. Welcome to share your low-carbon life with us. Brand Management Office DELTA BRAND NEWS 01 SPECIAL REPORT COP23 Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany Delta shares its broad experience in facilitating sustainable cities at COP23 Text by Yvonne Chan / DEF This spring the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide exceeded a concentration of 410 ppm—a new record high for historical climate statistics. The recently published Global Carbon Budget 2017 revealed that the carbon dioxide curve produced by fossil fuels grew 2% this year, reaching 36.8 billion tons, another new high in global carbon emissions. These two new records have dropped a bomb in the global climate community. Facing our earth’s climate crisis, governments throughout the world and international environmental groups are all mobilizing their resources and tactics to combat climate change. However, the private sector can also make a contribution. DELTA BRAND NEWS 02 SPECIAL REPORT Eleven years observing frontline climate negotiations Since the publication of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1995, a Conference of Parties (COP) has been held every year to discuss measures to fight climate change and global warming—COP23 will be the 23rd convention. With Delta's mission "To provide innovative, clean and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow", representatives of the Delta Foundation attend COP each year, and for 11 consecutive years they have observed the actions and trends of global climate negotiations. During COP21 in Paris, Delta held its Delta Green Building Exhibition at the Grand Palais, showcasing the 21 factory and donated green buildings Delta has built over the past 10 years, and demonstrating Delta's achievements in carbon emissions reduction The Delta Foundation set up an exhibition booth at COP23 to share Delta's carbon emissions experience in buildings and transportation Beginning in 2007, the Delta Foundation has attended the climate conference as a non-governmental body to stay on top of climate and energy topics and global trends. In 2012, the foundation was finally approved as an UNFCCC observer. In 2014 during COP20 in Lima, the Delta Foundation assumed a different responsibility from its previous role as a reporter, and co-hosted a side event with renowned international groups. Delta shared with nearly 200 global officials and expert scholars how it rebuilt the EEWH Diamond certified Namaxia MinQuan Elementary School, in Kaohsiung after Typhoon Morakot. In 2015 at COP21 in Paris, Delta demonstrated the 21 factory and donated green buildings it has constructed over the past 10 years. At our first-ever Delta Green Building Exhibition at the Grand Palais, Delta shared its achievements in carbon emission reduction and green building advocacy. Afterwards, we were invited to the German Pavilion to discuss Taiwan's experience in carbon emissions reduction. Although Taiwan is not a member of the UN, the Delta Foundation aspires to bringing the latest international news to the public. The foundation has long been publishing articles in its "Low-Carbon Living" blog and it is collaborating with the Hsinchu Science Park Radio Station "Sounds of IC" through the "Climate Battle in Taiwan" program. Delta delivers knowledgeable updates on climate change, and offers first-hand information about carbon emissions reduction. This year’s COP23 in Bonn, Germany, Delta Foundation has set up an exhibition booth for one week, from November 13 to 17. Our exhibition is for the international community and showcases Delta’s achievements in green buildings, low-carbon transportation, water resources, environmental education, and others. City representatives and distinguished visitors from Poland, which is the host of COP24, as well as France, Australia, USA, Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, China, Japan, and other regions showed great interest and were deeply impressed with the exhibition.

  • Essays on Agglomeration, Trade Costs and Foreign Direct Investment
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Essays on Agglomeration, Trade Costs and Foreign Direct Investment Chinchih Chen A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography and Environment of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, February 2014 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. London, 07th February 2014 Chinchih Chen 1 Abstract This thesis is composed of three chapters. The first one investigates the impact of distance, market and supply access and agglomeration externalities on FDI locations. Chapter 2 studies the change in trade costs on FDI locations. Chapter 3 examines the relative effect of trade costs on horizontal and vertical FDI locations. Chapter 1 provides empirical evidence of the effect of agglomeration with firms from the same country on other location determinants. I use data for the Taiwanese FDI projects in Chinese provinces from 1991 to 1996. In order to estimate the relative change in coefficient magnitude over time, I exploit Taiwan’s FDI policy shock in 1991.

  • Japanese Industrial Policies in Colonial Taiwan: Tea and Sugar
    Japanese Industrial Policies in Colonial Taiwan: Tea and Sugar Tsong-Min Wu* ªÏ;.m. Tea and sugar were the two most important exports in late Ching. Aer Taiwan became a colony of Japan in ÏÊ, the colonial gov- ernment put a great eòort to develop the two industries. But the growth of the tea and sugar industries took complete diòerent paths. While there was a phenomenal growth in the sugar production and export, the export of Oolong tea to the U.S. was stagnant in the beginning and then declined in late ÏϪs. ais paper analyzes the eòects of the industrial policy of the Japanese colonial gov- ernment, and its implications on the post-colonial development of Taiwan. Taiwan’s exports saw tremendous increase during the Japanese colonial period. At the end of Ïmªs,Export to GDP ratio exceeded ªì. Sugar and rice were the two most important products, both went to Japan. Around the world, export expansion helps raising the GDP level, Taiwan’s high growth beginning in the early ÏEªs has been a well-known example. ae purpose of this paper is to study the export expansion during the Japanese colonial period. One of the factors that helps export expansion was the lowering of trans- portation cost.Hummels (ªª;) analyses the eòect of lower transportation cost on international trade and economic growth. At the end of the Ching *Preliminary.I thank the participants of the Ïth Annual Conference of European As- sociation of Taiwan Studies, Ca’ Forscari University of venice, for their comments.

  • Seeking Cultural Originality a Critical Study on Contemporary Product Design in China
    SEEKING CULTURAL ORIGINALITY A CRITICAL STUDY ON CONTEMPORARY PRODUCT DESIGN IN CHINA Peipei Yu A thesis submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements of Birmingham City University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, Birmingham City University 1 Abstract The intention of this thesis is to explore, by a critical perspective, the originality of product design in China, along with the expression of Chinese cultural values in product design in the contemporary international arena. Starting from literature reviews of design in China, this research focuses on both historical and cultural aspects of product evolution. It will take into account the indigenous innovation phenomenon – ‘shanzhai’ and ‘Chineseness’ in order to pursue a comprehensive understanding of the origin of product design and innovation trends in a contemporary context. Also, interview data from senior designers and professors from various design institutions and companies in China has been elicited in order to understand different perspectives. IKEA and MUJI have been selected as the main case examples to demonstrate their design principles, brand loyalty and cultural impact, based upon their experiences in transcending national borders through global policies. Xiaomi has also been used as a case study to support the study of Shanzhai phenomenon, while the case study on PINWU and SHANGXIA has also been conducted to study the current interpretation of contemporary Chinese product design in China. Furthermore, there will be interpretation of their brand management, marketing strategies and brand philosophies as case examples, which may indicate new directions for design in China. Ongoing, extensive literature searches and data analysis have revealed significant relationships between design, creativity, culture, branding and marketing.

The war ended in China with the surrender of Japan in August, and soon afterward UNRRA began its China mission, through coordination with its counterpart, the Chinese National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (CNRRA), to help the country recover with financial assistance, material support, and professional expertise.3 The UNRRA‐Hubei Regional Office, one of about a dozen such regional offices in China, focused on the Province of Hubei m, o s of which was occu t pied by J apan during the war.4 During her eleven‐month tenure as a welfare specialist in Hubei, Rose Galaida witnessed this war‐torn province struggling to recuperate under the increasing threat of a new war between the Nationalists and the Communists. She received and processed applications requesting assistance from both the Chinese organizations and the international community in the province.

  • The Regional Economic Impacts of Taiwan High Speed Rail
    IJR International Journal of Railway The Korean Society for Railway Vol. 1, No. 1 / March 2008, pp. 12-19 The Regional Economic Impacts of Taiwan High Speed Rail Hank C. C. Huang*, Tao Hsin Hsu**, and Cynthia M.T. Lin*** Abstract Starting her business operation on January 5 2007, Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) shapes a new time-space frame for Taiwan western corridor, where more than 90% of national population lives around and more than 95% gross domestic product created from. Comparing with the four-hour traveling time by highway before 2007, THSR reduces the time required to one and half hours from Taipei to Kaohsiung. It will not only benefit the communication along the island from north to south, but also change the location advantages/disadvantages for all cities in these regions. Therefore, this paper establishes a spatial computable general equilibrium model (SCGE Model) to simulate the economic effect of High Speed Rail (HSR). This SCGE model divides Taiwan economy into fifteen geographic regions and thirteen indus- tries. Each region has three sectors: household sector, transportation sector, and industries sector. Following the behavior function of economic theories, the general equilibrium can be achieved simultaneously. Thus, gross regional product (GRP), capital formation, employment income and welfare/utility level can be all observed by calculating the different economic result between cases with-/ without-HSR. Besides, this model presents the social welfare benefit from HSR operation, the polarization phenomenon among regions and within certain region, unbalance distribution of welfare along the HSR line, and industries development divergence among regions etc. These major findings should be useful for regional development policy making.

  • Xikang: Han Chinese in Sichuan's Western Frontier
    XIKANG: HAN CHINESE IN SICHUAN’S WESTERN FRONTIER, 1905-1949. by Joe Lawson A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Victoria University of Wellington 2011 Abstract This thesis is about Han Chinese engagement with the ethnically diverse highlands west and south-west of the Sichuan basin in the first half of the twentieth century. This territory, which includes much of the Tibetan Kham region as well as the mostly Yi- and Han-settled Liangshan, constituted Xikang province between 1939 and 1955. The thesis begins with an analysis of the settlement policy of the late Qing governor Zhao Erfeng, as well as the key sources of influence on it. Han authority suffered setbacks in the late 1910s, but recovered from the mid-1920s under the leadership of General Liu Wenhui, and the thesis highlights areas of similarity and difference between the Zhao and Liu periods. Although contemporaries and later historians have often dismissed the attempts to build Han Chinese- dominated local governments in the highlands as failures, this endeavour was relatively successful in a limited number of places. Such success, however, did not entail the incorporation of territory into an undifferentiated Chinese whole. Throughout the highlands, pre-twentieth century local institutions, such as the wula corvée labour tax in Kham, continued to exercise a powerful influence on the development and nature of local and regional government. The thesis also considers the long-term life (and death) of ideas regarding social transformation as developed by leaders and historians of the highlands.
