"The Belt and Road" and ASEAN International Channel Strategy of Guangxi logistics transportation network layout and logistics infrastructure has put forward higher requirements, the construction of logistics transportation network in Guangxi is not perfect, logistics and transport dispersed, inefficient and other issues, for the classification of Guangxi multimodal transport hub will be able to realize the network and the integration, to improve the overall efficiency of Guangxi logistics transportation network, improve the comprehensive transportation efficiency. The selection of Guangxi 14 city multimodal transport nodes, constructing the evaluation index system of classification, and combined with the GDP, the total investment in fixed assets, the total industrial output value, whole sale and retail sales, highway Mileage and the amount of cargo and other six factors using Ward's clustering algorithm of multimodal transport hub city classification, to determine the level of the hub of the city, and the multimodal transport hub city division for comprehensive multimodal hub, regional multimodal hub, professional multimodal transport hub city. Introduction With the construction of "The Belt and Road" strategy and the international big channel facing ASEAN, Guangxi intermodal construction has a very good opportunity for development in these strategies. Multimodal transport (also known as combined transport) is the transportation of goods under a single contract, but performed with at least two different means of transport (by rail, sea and road, for example).

Results: We used concentration index to evaluate the degree of income-related equality of health material and human resources. The concentration index values of the fve resources ranged from 0.0847 to 0.1416 from 2011 to 2015. Health institution was concentrated among the poorer populations, while other− four resources were concen- trated among the richer populations. Overall, the equality status of health institutions, health care beds, health techni- cal personnel, and certifed nurses got better from 2011 to 2015. However, the equality status of practicing physicians has got worse since 2014.

    LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG the CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University William J

    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 33.2 ― October 2010 LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY ALONG THE CHINA-VIETNAM BORDER* David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University Abstract The diversity of Tai languages along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam has long fascinated scholars, and led some to postulate that the original Tai homeland was located in this area. In this article I present evidence that this linguistic diversity can be explained in large part not by “divergent local development” from a single proto-language, but by the intrusion of dialects from elsewhere in relatively recent times as a result of migration, forced trans-plantation of populations, and large-scale military operations. Further research is needed to discover any underlying linguistic diversity in the area in deep historical time, but a prior task is to document more fully and systematically the surface diversity as described by Gedney and Haudricourt among others. Keywords diversity, homeland, migration William J. Gedney, in his influential article “Linguistic Diversity Among Tai Dialects in Southern Kwangsi” (1966), was among a number of scholars to propose that the geographical location of the proto-Tai language, the Tai Urheimat, lay along the border between Guangxi and Vietnam. In 1965 he had 1 written: This reviewer’s current research in Thai languages has convinced him that the point of origin for the Thai languages and dialects in this country [i.e. Thailand] and indeed for all the languages and dialects of the Tai family, is not to the north in Yunnan, but rather to the east, perhaps along the border between North Vietnam and Kwangsi or on one side or the other of this border.

  • Research on Ecological Compensation Standards for the Xijiang

    Research on Ecological Compensation Standards for the Xijiang

    Research on Ecological Compensation Standards for the Xijiang River Basin in Guangxi Based on Scenario Analysis Preliminary Plan 1. Background In May 2016, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Improving the Compensation Mechanism for Ecological Protection, clarifying that by 2020, the diversified compensation mechanism shall be initially established, and an ecological protection compensation system befitting China’s national conditions shall be basically established. In December 2016, the Ministry of Finance joined by three other departments jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment of a Compensation Mechanism for Horizontal Ecological Protection of the Upstream and Downstream Basins (Opinions). The Opinions proposes that by 2020, a horizontal ecological protection compensation mechanism will be initially established in cross-provincial river basins that have important drinking water functions and ecological service values, with clear beneficiaries and a strong upstream and downstream compensation wish. For this end, a number of pilot projects will be built to explore the feasibility. The report of the 19th National Congress expressly stated to “perfect the recuperation system of cultivated land, prairies, forests, rivers and lakes and establish a market-oriented and diversified ecological compensation mechanism.” Xijiang River is located in the upper reaches of the Pearl River Basin and is also the main stream of the Pearl River. It originates from the Maxiong Mountain of the Wumeng Mountain Range, Qujing City, Yunnan Province. Flowing through Guizhou and Guangxi, the 2074.8 kilometers long river meets with Beijiang River in Sanshui District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. It has a drainage area of 355,000 square kilometers, of which 204,900 square kilometers is in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, accounting for 57.7% of the entire Xijiang River Basin.
