Accepted 23 December 2013 The HXSG complex is composed of vast accumulations of Middle–Upper Triassic marine gravity flow deposits Available online 3 January 2014 that were extensively intruded by igneous rocks. These early Mesozoic rocks exposed in this area record a rich history of accretionary tectonics during the amalgamation of the Tibetan Plateau terranes. Eight plutons sampled Keywords: from the western HXSG complex yield zircon U–Pb ages that range from 225 to 193 Ma. Muscovite 40Ar/39Ar ages Hoh-Xil–Songpan-Ganzi Tibet for the Hudongliang and Zhuonai Lake plutons yield ages of 210.7 ± 2.5 Ma and 212.7 ± 2.5 Ma, respectively. Granitoids These plutonic rocks can be subdivided into two geochemically distinct groups. Group 1 (221–212 Ma: Paleo-Tethys Dapeng Lake, Changhong Lake and Heishibei Lake plutons) is composed of high-K calc-alkaline rocks that Rollback have strongly fractionated REE patterns with high (La/Yb)N ratios (91–18) and generally lack Eu anomalies (Eu*/ Eu = 1.02–0.68). Rocks in Group 1 display pronounced negative Nb–Ta and Ti anomalies on primitive mantle- normalized spidergrams. Group 1 rocks exhibit high Sr (782–240 ppm) and low Y (6.3–16.0 ppm) contents with 87 86 high Sr/Y ratios (84–20). Based on Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data ( Sr/ Sri = 0.7079–0.7090, εNd(t) = −7.7–−4.7, εHf(t) = −5.7–−0.8) and low MgO contents (MgO = 1.10–2.18%), Group 1 rocks are geochemically similar to adakitic rocks and were probably derived from partial melting of the downgoing Paleo-Tethys oceanic slab and overlying marine sediments. Group 2 plutons (225–193 Ma: Daheishan, Yunwuling, Zhuonai Lake, Malanshan and Hudongliang plutons) display lower P2O5 with increasing SiO2 and are medium-K to high-K I-type calc- alkaline bodies with low Sr (14–549 ppm) and high Y (22.3–10.5 ppm) contents. Group 2 rocks have variable fractionated REE patterns ((La/Yb)N =3–38) and negative Eu anomalies (Eu*/Eu = 0.02–0.86). Together with 87 86 Sr–Nd–Hf isotopes ( Sr/ Sri = 0.7072–0.7143, εNd(t) = −6.6–−2.0, εHf(t) = −0.6–+3.0), Group 2 rocks are most likely formed by partial melting of the juvenile crustal sources. Collectively, these data suggest that the Hoh-Xil turbidites were underlain by more continental arc crust than previously thought. We propose that rollback of the subducting Paleo-Tethys oceanic slab led to partial melting of overlying continental arc fragments which developed beneath the HXSG gravity flow deposits. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Introduction deformed calciclastic and siliciclastic Middle–Upper Triassic deep- water gravity flow deposits widely regarded as turbidites or flysch The Hoh-Xil–Songpan-Ganzi (HXSG) complex is located in the derived from adjacent continental landmass (Bruguier et al., 1997; northern Tibet between the Kunlun arc terrane to the north, the South Ding et al., 2013; Enkelmann et al., 2007; Gu, 1994; Nie et al., 1994; China block to the east, and the Qiangtang terrane and Yidun arc to Zhang et al., 2008c; Zhou and Graham, 1996).

The geodynamic significance of the ered to be the products of northward subduction of Paleo-Tethys eastern HXSG igneous rocks is widely debated (e.g. Pullen et al., 2008; oceanic lithosphere (Harris et al., 1988; Jiang et al., 1992; Matte et al., Roger et al., 2010; Şengör, 1984; Weislogel, 2008; Yuan et al., 2010; 1996; Yang et al., 1996).

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-08478-0 - Ancient China and the Yue: Perceptions and Identities on the Southern Frontier, c. 400 BCE–50 CE Erica Fox Brindley Frontmatter More information Ancient China and the Yue In this innovative study, Erica Brindley examines how, during the period 400 BCE–50 CE, Chinese states and an embryonic Chinese empire interacted with peoples referred to as the Yue/Viet along its southern frontier. Brindley provides an overview of current theories in archaeol- ogy and linguistics concerning the peoples of the ancient southern frontier of China, the closest relations on the mainland to certain later Southeast Asian and Polynesian peoples. Through analysis of Warring States and early Han textual sources, she shows how representations of Chinese and Yue identity invariably fed upon, and often grew out of, a two-way process of centering the self while decentering the other. Examining rebellions, pivotal ruling figures from various Yue states, and key moments of Yue agency, Brindley demonstrates the complex- ities involved in identity formation and cultural hybridization in the ancient world and highlights the ancestry of cultures now associated with southern China and Vietnam. Erica Fox Brindley is Associate Professor of Asian Studies and History at the Pennsylvania State University.

  • Chinese Foreign Relation Strategies Under Mao and Deng: a Systematic and Comparative Analysis
    Chinese Foreign Relation Strategies Under Mao and Deng: A Systematic and Comparative Analysis JOSEPH YU-SHEK CHENG AND FRANKLIN WANKUN ZHANG During the past half-century, Chinas foreign relations strategies evolved in an uneven way. Undeniably, both Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping made significant impact on the evolution of Chinas foreign relations strategy and established their own models in their respective eras in effect dividing the history of Chinese foreign policy into two. In the shadow of the Cold War, Chinese foreign relations shifted between the United States and the Soviet Union as the future superpower struggled to safeguard national security, guarantee sovereignty and territorial integrity and enhance its international status under Mao. In the last two decades Chinese foreign relations strategies were less geared towards survival and security as Deng presided over the pursuit of the Four Modernizations and the establishment of a new international political and economic order in a framework of peace and non-alliance. As its impact on the shaping of world affairs grows, China's foreign relations strategies will continue to evolve in the next century when it becomes truly capable of an "overthrow of the planetary balance". The 20th century has witnessed Chinas rise from a weak, economically backward country to an important actor in the international system. From the founding of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). In 1949, Mao Zedong attempted to break the bipolar system and make China an independent and important strategic power. The reform and opening to the outside world policy program, also known as China's second revolution,1 initiated by Deng Xiaoping in late 1978, laid the foundation for Chinas spectacular economic growth and enabled it to become an effective actor in the international system.

  • Proof of Investors' Binding Borrowing Constraint Appendix 2: System Of
    Appendix 1: Proof of Investors’ Binding Borrowing Constraint PROOF: Use the Kuhn-Tucker condition to check whether the collateral constraint is binding. We have h I RI I mt[mt pt ht + ht − bt ] = 0 If (11) is not binding, then mt = 0: We can write the investor’s FOC Equation (18) as: I I I I h I I I I i Ut;cI ct ;ht ;nt = bIEt (1 + it)Ut+1;cI ct+1;ht+1;nt+1 (42) At steady state, we have bI (1 + i) = 1 However from (6); we know bR (1 + i) = 1 at steady state. With parameter restrictions that bR > bI; therefore bI (1 + i) < 1; contradiction. Therefore we cannot have mt = 0: Therefore, mt > 0; and I h I RI thus we have bt = mt pt ht + ht : Q.E.D.
