Repayment period 30 years (Grace period 10 years) Final Disbursement June 2002 Date Project Outline Long-distance optic transmission network extending over Guangdong Province, Guangxi Zhuangzu Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province was con- structed, to accommodate the growing communication demand in these regions, as well as to improve the invest- ment environment in inland regions with a view to pro- moting economic development. Results and Evaluation Through this project, fiber optic cables (total length: 4,174km) and transmission facilities were constructed in three provinces and one ward, the total long distance switch capacity that was 770,000 lines in 1995 significant- ly grew to 1.6 million lines by 2001. Moreover, the num- ber of long-distance calls handled in the targeted regions, including mobile phones was estimated to be 14.6 billion (96% of the plan) in actual results of 2000. This project has provided a high quality communications service to a larger number of people than before through optic cables. In regard to the improvement of an environment suitable for investment in the targeted regions, it is generally rec- ognized that correlation exists between the conditions of communication infrastructures and expansion of invest- ments and economic development, and it is believed that this project has made some contributions toward industrial development, though there have been effects by third fac- tors outside the project.

  • 7. CET-Kunming
    7. CET-Kunming a. Ken Tanaka, Summer 2019 Final Report Introduction ​ A good amount of Yalies on the Light Fellowship probably won't consider studying in Kunming. Some might not even know that Kunming exists. Others might think that Kunming, a city with a measly population of 6.2 million in far-off Yunnan province, isn't as fun to spend the summer at in comparison to glitzy Shanghai or iconic Beijing. Yet some more students might automatically choose a program like HBA - after all, HBA is abound with Yale students, and who wouldn't want to spend some time in China with people you already know from school? If you don't consider Kunming as a potential place to study at, I'm going to keep it real with you and say that you're making a big mistake. Choosing to study Chinese through CET-Kunming has been one of the greatest experiences of my college time, and I believe that CET-Kunming, while perhaps not as renown as PiB, HBA, or ICLP, is truly a hidden gem. My name is Ken Tanaka, and I'm a current junior (class of 2021) majoring in Global Affairs. I took a year of Chinese my junior year of high school (equivalent to L1 here), and then took CHNS120, CHNS 130, and CHNS140 my freshman spring through my sophomore spring. As I was not a freshman when considering studying abroad in China, I will admit that I was a little bit hesitant at first when considering study abroad - after all, many of my peers were applying for internships.

  • The Kunming-Vientiane Railway: the Economic, Procurement, Labor, and Safeguards Dimensions of a Chinese Belt and Road Project
    The Kunming-Vientiane Railway: The Economic, Procurement, Labor, and Safeguards Dimensions of a Chinese Belt and Road Project Scott Morris Abstract The Kunming-Vientiane (K-V) railway, part of the Kunming-Singapore multi-country rail network (or “Pan-Asia Railway”), is an anchor investment of the Chinese government’s Belt and Road initiative (BRI). This case study will assess the rail project along four dimensions: economic implications; procurement arrangements; labor; and environmental and social safeguards. In each of these areas, evidence from the railway project suggests that Chinese policy and practice could be better aligned with the practices of other sources of multilateral and bilateral development finance. Where the project’s standards are broadly aligned, at least in principle, there is nonetheless reason to believe that China’s approach carries heightened risks given the overall scale of financing. These risks hold for China’s global program of official finance, which has made the country the largest source of official credit in the world. In this regard, BRI policymakers should consider a more rigorous set of “best practices” that align Chinese official finance with leading multilateral standards, even if these practices don’t currently characterize many other Center for Global Development bilateral lenders. Such an approach would be consistent with the multilateral vision for BRI 2055 L Street NW espoused by Chinese officials and reflected in the framework of the annual Belt and Road Fifth Floor Forum for International Cooperation. This study considers what a stronger set of standards Washington DC 20036 would look like in the context of the four areas of focus.

  • The History of Gyalthang Under Chinese Rule: Memory, Identity, and Contested Control in a Tibetan Region of Northwest Yunnan
    THE HISTORY OF GYALTHANG UNDER CHINESE RULE: MEMORY, IDENTITY, AND CONTESTED CONTROL IN A TIBETAN REGION OF NORTHWEST YUNNAN Dá!a Pejchar Mortensen A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Michael Tsin Michelle T. King Ralph A. Litzinger W. Miles Fletcher Donald M. Reid © 2016 Dá!a Pejchar Mortensen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii! ! ABSTRACT Dá!a Pejchar Mortensen: The History of Gyalthang Under Chinese Rule: Memory, Identity, and Contested Control in a Tibetan Region of Northwest Yunnan (Under the direction of Michael Tsin) This dissertation analyzes how the Chinese Communist Party attempted to politically, economically, and culturally integrate Gyalthang (Zhongdian/Shangri-la), a predominately ethnically Tibetan county in Yunnan Province, into the People’s Republic of China. Drawing from county and prefectural gazetteers, unpublished Party histories of the area, and interviews conducted with Gyalthang residents, this study argues that Tibetans participated in Communist Party campaigns in Gyalthang in the 1950s and 1960s for a variety of ideological, social, and personal reasons. The ways that Tibetans responded to revolutionary activists’ calls for political action shed light on the difficult decisions they made under particularly complex and coercive conditions. Political calculations, revolutionary ideology, youthful enthusiasm, fear, and mob mentality all played roles in motivating Tibetan participants in Mao-era campaigns. The diversity of these Tibetan experiences and the extent of local involvement in state-sponsored attacks on religious leaders and institutions in Gyalthang during the Cultural Revolution have been largely left out of the historiographical record.
