Project Background and Legal Basis of EA 1. Jiangxi No.2 highway project financed by the World Bank loan includes the Taihe- Ganzhou Expresway Mainline, three inter-connectingroads in Wan' an, Suichuan and Ganzhou and four Rural Road improvement program (RRIP) as Suichuan-Chezi' ao, Yutian-Xinjiang, Shashibu-Wangmudu and Tangjiang-Dongshan.The study of the Taihe-Ganzhouexpressway main line was started from Sept. 1994. In Dec. 1999, the Feasibility Study Reportfor the Gan-Yue Expressway (Taihe-Ganzhou Section was compiled and its supplementary report was compiled in May 2000. By July 2000, the two-stage preliminary design was completed. As to the three connecting roads, Feasibility Study Report for Wan' an, Suichuang and Ganzhou were completed in February 2000 and their Two-Stage Preliminary Design were finished in September, 2000. The study for the RRIP started from April, 2000 and their Feasibility Study Report was completed in the same year. 2. The Research Institute of Highway under the Ministry of Communications (MOC), a holder of class A environmental assessment certificate issued by the China National Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), was entrusted by the Jiangxi Provincial Communications Department (JPCD) in Dec. 1999 to undertake the environmental assessment for this project. In March 2000, the Terms of Reference (TOR) for this project was reviewed and approved by SEPA. In June 2000, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report for this project has passed the experts' reviewing sponsored by the MOC environmental office, now it is waiting for the SEPA' s approval. Jiangxi Provincial Environmental Protection Research Institute (holding class A environmental assessment certificate issued by the SEPA) was entrusted by the Jiangxi Provincial High-Class Highway Administration in Dec. 1999 to undertake the environmental assessment for the four RIP roads. 3. The EIA and EAP (first version) of Gan-Yue Expressway Taihe-Ganzhou Section (including the Wan' an, Suichuan and Ganzhou connecting roads) were completed in March 2000. In May 2000, the World Bank environmental experts have reviewed the documents in Nanchang. In June 2000, according to the options of the World Bank experts, the assessment unit and the JPCD revised these environmental documents and compiled the EIA and EAP (second version) for the main line, and compiled separate EIA and EAP (first version) for the three connecting roads. In July 2000, World Bank experts reviewed them in Nanchang and presented revising opinions. In Sep. 2000, the assessment unit finished the EIA, EAP (third edition) for the main line and the EIA, EAP (second version ) for the connecting roads. The EIA, EAP (first version) for the RIP were compiled by Jiangxi Provincial Environmental Protection Research Institute in November, 2000. In November 2000, the World Bank experts reviewed these documents in Nanchang and presented revising opinions. In December 2000, the assessmentunit finished the EIA, EAP (fourth version) for the main line and the EIA, EAP (third version) for the connecting road; the EIA, EAP (second version) for the RIP projects and the environmentalassessment summary (EAS, third version). 4. Concerned departments in Jiangxi province have participated in the reviewing of the reports, including environmental protection department and research institutes, etc. Opinions have been extensively solicited from some units and non- governmental organizations that may be impacted and particularly from people who will be land acquired, removed and resettled. 5.

  • Advances in Geophysical Methods Used for Uranium Exploration and Their Applications in China
    ADVANCES IN GEOPHYSICAL METHODS USED FOR URANIUM EXPLORATION AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN CHINA J. DENG, H. CHEN, Y. WANG, H. LI, H. YANG, Z. ZHANG East China University of Technology, Nanchang, China 1. INTRODUCTION Geophysics is one of the most useful techniques for uranium exploration. It supports the development of geological models through the definition of lithological, structural and alteration characteristics of metallogenic environments under evaluation. With exploration at increasing depths, the traditional radiometric method is no longer effective for uranium exploration. Uranium mineralization is not closely related with observable gravity, magnetic and impedance anomalies. Gravity, magnetic and electromagnetic techniques can be used to survey the subsurface geological background of an area and can be efficient in detecting deeper uranium deposits [1]. The progression and development of geophysical methods, measurement techniques, data processing, computer modelling and inversion have permitted improvements in the field of uranium exploration [1, 2]. It is well known that progress in geophysical methods has contributed to successful field investigations in the exploration for deeper deposits (including uranium). Xu et al. [2] have reviewed the latest advances and developing trends in geophysical and geochemical methods and techniques applied to uranium resources exploration in China [2]. Following this work, this paper summarizes the research carried out by the East China University of Technology during the past decade. This includes 3-D inversion of magnetic data and 3-D electromagnetic methods tested in the Xiazhuang area over granite type uranium deposits [3, 4] and in the Xiangshan area over volcanic type uranium deposits [5]. Results indicate that some of the objectives, including mapping of basement structures, rock interface and lithology recognition, can be achieved.

  • Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait Through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks
    sustainability Article Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks Yan Ma * and Feng Xue School of Architecture and Urban-Rural Planning, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, Fujian, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 24 May 2019 Abstract: Globalization and the spread of information have made city networks more complex. The existing research on city network structures has usually focused on discussions of regional integration. With the development of interconnections among cities, however, the characterization of city network structures on a regional scale is limited in the ability to capture a network’s complexity. To improve this characterization, this study focused on network structures at both regional and local scales. Through the lens of function and innovation, we characterized the city network structure of the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through a social network analysis and a Fast Unfolding Community Detection algorithm. We found a significant imbalance in the innovation cooperation among cities in the region. When considering people flow, a multilevel spatial network structure had taken shape. Among cities with strong centrality, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Whenzhou had a significant spillover effect, which meant the region was depolarizing. Quanzhou and Ganzhou had a significant siphon effect, which was unsustainable. Generally, urbanization in small and midsize cities was common. These findings provide support for government policy making. Keywords: city network; spatial organization; people flows; innovation network 1.

  • How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts
    American Political Science Review (2017) 111, 3, 484–501 doi:10.1017/S0003055417000144 c American Political Science Association 2017 How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts for Strategic Distraction, Not Engaged Argument GARY KING Harvard University JENNIFER PAN Stanford University MARGARET E. ROBERTS University of California, San Diego he Chinese government has long been suspected of hiring as many as 2 million people to surrep- titiously insert huge numbers of pseudonymous and other deceptive writings into the stream of T real social media posts, as if they were the genuine opinions of ordinary people. Many academics, and most journalists and activists, claim that these so-called 50c party posts vociferously argue for the government’s side in political and policy debates. As we show, this is also true of most posts openly accused on social media of being 50c. Yet almost no systematic empirical evidence exists for this claim https://doi.org/10.1017/S0003055417000144 . or, more importantly, for the Chinese regime’s strategic objective in pursuing this activity. In the first large-scale empirical analysis of this operation, we show how to identify the secretive authors of these posts, the posts written by them, and their content. We estimate that the government fabricates and posts about 448 million social media comments a year. In contrast to prior claims, we show that the Chinese regime’s strategy is to avoid arguing with skeptics of the party and the government, and to not even discuss controversial issues. We show that the goal of this massive secretive operation is instead to distract the public and change the subject, as most of these posts involve cheerleading for China, the revolutionary history of the Communist Party, or other symbols of the regime.

  • Research on the Relationship Between Green Development and Fdi in Jiangxi Province
    2019 International Seminar on Education, Teaching, Business and Management (ISETBM 2019) Research on the Relationship between Green Development and Fdi in Jiangxi Province Zejie Liu1, a, Xiaoxue Lei2, b, Wenhui Lai1, c, Zhenyue Lu1, d, Yuanyuan Yin1, e 1School of Business, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China 2 School of Financial and Monetary, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China Keywords: Jiangxi province, City, Green development, Fdi Abstract: Firstly, based on factor analysis method, this paper obtained the green development comprehensive index and its changing trend of 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province. Secondly, by calculating Moran's I index, it made an empirical analysis of the spatial correlation of FDI between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province, both globally and locally. Finally, this paper further tested the relationship between FDI and green development index by establishing multiple linear regression equation. The results show that the overall green development level of Jiangxi Province shows a steady upward trend, but the development gap between 11 prefecture level cities in Jiangxi Province is large, and the important green development indicators have a significant positive impact on FDI. 1. Introduction As one of the important provinces rising in Central China, Jiangxi has made remarkable achievements in the protection of ecological environment and the promotion of economic benefits while vigorously promoting green development and actively introducing FDI. Data shows that since the first batch of FDI was introduced in 1984, Jiangxi Province has attracted 12.57 billion US dollars of FDI in 2018, with an average annual growth rate of 19.42%. By the first three quarters of 2019, Jiangxi's actual use of FDI amounted to 9.79 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.1%, ranking at the top of the country.

  • The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics
    Li, China Leadership Monitor No.4 The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics Cheng Li China’s ongoing political succession has been filled with paradoxes. Jockeying for power among various factions has been fervent and protracted, but the power struggle has not led to a systemic crisis as it did during the reigns of Mao and Deng. While nepotism and favoritism in elite recruitment have become prevalent, educational credentials and technical expertise are also essential. Regional representation has gained importance in the selection of Central Committee members, but leaders who come from coastal regions will likely dominate the new Politburo. Regulations such as term limits and an age requirement for retirement have been implemented at various levels of the Chinese leadership, but these rules and norms will perhaps not restrain the power of Jiang Zemin, the 76-year-old “new paramount leader.” While the military’s influence on political succession has declined during the past decade, the Central Military Commission is still very powerful. Not surprisingly, these paradoxical developments have led students of Chinese politics to reach contrasting assessments of the nature of this political succession, the competence of the new leadership, and the implications of these factors for China’s future. This diversity of views is particularly evident regarding the ubiquitous role of mishu in the Chinese leadership. The term mishu, which literally means “secretary” in Chinese, refers to a range of people who differ significantly from each other in terms of the functions they fulfill, the leadership bodies they serve, and the responsibilities given to them.
