Our history can be traced back to YNJG Concrete, which was established in April 1996. Its principal businesses included the production and sales of commercial concrete and related products. After being merged and absorbed into YNJG as the Commercial Concrete Division through an asset restructuring, YNJG Concrete was deregistered in May 2012. In December 2016, YNJG injected the operating assets of the Commercial Concrete Division and the equity interests of four operating subsidiaries into the Company through a capital increase. On June 19, 2007, the Company was established as a limited liability company by YNJG Concrete. On December 22, 2017, the Company was converted into a joint stock limited company and renamed “YCIH Green High-Performance Concrete Company Limited.” MILESTONES The following table outlines the milestones in our history of development: Years Events 1996 YNJG Concrete was established, whose principal businesses included the production and sales of commercial concrete and related products. 2007 The Company was established by YNJG Concrete in Kunming, Yunnan Province as a limited liability company, i.e., YNJG Green High- Performance Concrete Co., Ltd.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: November 10, 2020 Accepted: December 12, 2020 Online Published: December 16, 2020 doi:10.5539/jel.v10n1p7 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/jel.v10n1p7 Abstract Teacher leadership continues to be a growing educational reform initiative across the world. With the rapid development of Chinese language education, the role of teacher leadership in education reform is becoming more and more prominent. Based on the survey data of 104 teachers in a secondary vocational school in Yuxi City, this study investigated the level of teacher leadership capacity and discussed their promotion strategies. Based on Lambert’s (2003a) theory of teacher leadership capacity, the author developed a research questionnaire that including four structures of teacher leadership capacity, which focus on the vision, reflection and innovation, shared governance, supervision, and response to student achievement. This study adopted the five-likert point scale. Data analysis shows that the average scores of 17 items does not exceed 4.00 points, while the highest and lowest score are from “focus on the vision.” To improve the teacher leadership capacity, the study suggests that leaders should concentrate on the school’s vision as well as establish collaborative culture and atmosphere among teachers.
  • A Comparative Study of Livestock's Name Between Ancient And

    A Comparative Study of Livestock's Name Between Ancient And

    US-China Foreign Language, ISSN 1539-8080 September 2014, Vol. 12, No. 9, 728-735 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Comparative Study of Livestock’s Name Between Ancient and Modern Yi Language of China∗ YANG Liu-jin Honghe University, Mengzi City, China The traditional pronunciations of domestic animal lexemes recorded in ancient Nisu(Yi) manuscripts differ significantly from the vernacular pronunciations of their modern counterparts. Thus, in the process of translating such texts, when a translator substitutes modern Nisu for ancient Nisu, not only can many of the characteristics of the original text be lost, but the original meaning may also be completely modified. Currently a number of specialists and scholars, both in China and elsewhere, are familiar with modern Nisu but have no such familiarity with the language’s ancient forms. The paper grants Nisu researchers a better grasp of the differences between the language’s ancient and modern forms in order to help others avoid mistakes in translating ancient Nisu manuscripts. This is accomplished through a brief comparative analysis of Nisu names for livestock and fowl—then and now. Keywords: Yi Language, livestock, name Introduction Nisu is a Tibet-Burman language of the Ngwi branch which has been officially classified as an ethnic linguistic sub-branch of the Yi nationality in China. The Nisu retain use of their language in both spoken and written forms. The current population of the official Yi nationality stands at 7,776,230 (PCPC, 2002) and is distributed through Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Guizhou Provinces. Traditionally, in China, the languages spoken by the Yi nationality have been divided into six major dialect regions: Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western, Central, and Southeastern (YYJS, 1987, pp.

JABLONSKI3 Denise F. SU4 LI Wen-Qi5 (1 Key Laboratory of Vertebrate Evolution and Human Origins of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100044, China [email protected]) (2 Research Center for Southeast Asian Archeology & Yunnan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology Kunming 650118, China) (3 Department of Anthropology, the Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802, USA) (4 Department of Paleobotany and Paleoecology, Cleveland Museum of Natural History Cleveland, OH 44106, USA) (5 Zhaoyang Museum Zhaotong, Yunnan 657000, China) Abstract Rescue excavations carried out from 2007 to 2010 at the Shuitangba lignite field in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, not only resulted in the discovery of a new hominoid cranium and the addition of a new hominoid site in Yunnan, but the finding of a new muntjak with following characters: the brow tine is very close to the burr, which is moderately developed; the main beam extends backward and somewhat laterally, and then turns somewhat medially; and the neocrista and entocingulum are developed on the upper molars. The four limbs are relatively short. A cladistic analysis shows that the new materials represent a muntjak that is not in a sister-group relationship with Muntiacus leilaoensis from Yuanmou Late Miocene hominoid site, but rather represents an independent branch. Muntiacus zhaotongensis sp. nov. is proposed for the new muntjak materials.

  • (BRI) in Myanmar

    (BRI) in Myanmar

    MYANMAR POLICY BRIEFING | 22 | November 2019 Selling the Silk Road Spirit: China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Myanmar Key points • Rather than a ‘grand strategy’ the BRI is a broad and loosely governed framework of activities seeking to address a crisis in Chinese capitalism. Almost any activity, implemented by any actor in any place can be included under the BRI framework and branded as a ‘BRI project’. This allows Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and provincial governments to promote their own projects in pursuit of profit and economic growth. Where necessary, the central Chinese government plays a strong politically support- ive role. It also maintains a semblance of control and leadership over the initiative as a whole. But with such a broad framework, and a multitude of actors involved, the Chinese government has struggled to effectively govern BRI activities. • The BRI is the latest initiative in three decades of efforts to promote Chinese trade and investment in Myanmar. Following the suspension of the Myitsone hydropower dam project and Myanmar’s political and economic transition to a new system of quasi-civilian government in the early 2010s, Chinese companies faced greater competition in bidding for projects and the Chinese Government became frustrated. The rift between the Myanmar government and the international community following the Rohingya crisis in Rakhine State provided the Chinese government with an opportunity to rebuild closer ties with their counterparts in Myanmar. The China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) was launched as the primary mechanism for BRI activities in Myanmar, as part of the Chinese government’s economic approach to addressing the conflicts in Myanmar.
