Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 159 Fifth International Conference on Economic and Business Management (FEBM 2020) Empirical Analysis and Countermeasure Study on the Development Capability of Marine Industry in Jiangmen City Jianhua Xiao1, Shihui Guo1* 1School of Economics and Management, WuYi University, Jiangmen, Guangdong 529020 *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Jiangmen City is located in the western Pearl River Delta Marine Economic Zone, east is adjacent to the Xijiang Golden Waterway, west is connected to the coastal economic hinterland of western Guangdong, south is bordered by the South China Sea International Waterway, and north is bordered by Guangfo. Therefore, as the hinterland of the construction of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", it is of far- reaching significance to promote the development of the marine industry. This article uses SPSS statistical analysis software and mainly uses the main level analysis method to analyze the development status of the marine industry in Jiangmen from 2011 to 2016. The empirical analysis results show that the overall trend of the development of the marine industry in Jiangmen in the past six years is improving, but at the same time facing the irrational structure of the marine industry, the prominent problems of the marine ecological environment, and the insufficient scientific and technological innovation capabilities of the marine industry. Keywords: Marine economy of Jiangmen city, Industrial development, Principal component analysis the key construction of the three blue industrial belts of 1.

Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research (AEBMR), volume 54 2018 5th International Conference on Management Science and Management Innovation (MSMI 2018) Study on the Evolution Mechanism of Island Tourism System from the Perspective of Dissipative Structure—In Light of Chuanshan Archipelago Yu-Yao SHIa, *, Feng WU and Jian-Hua XIAO School of Economics and Management, Wuyi University, Jiangmen, Guangdong 529020, China [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Theory of Dissipative Structure, Chuanshan Archipelago, Evolution Process, Evolutionary Mechanism. Abstract. In today’s world, islands have been hot spots for global tourists due to their unique natural landscapes and cultural environments. Thus, how to develop the island tourism sustainably becomes a worthy question to explore. So far, few studies discuss the island tourism from the perspective of system science. Based on the theory of dissipative structure, this paper analyzes the evolution and its dynamic mechanism of Chuanshan Archipelago tourism system with dividing the process into four stages. It finds that the evolutionary impetus comes from the nonlinear action and the coupling relationship among various elements of the self-organization and heter-organization in tourism system. During the course of evolution, the tourism system constantly fluctuates. Therefore, in order to avoid a path of decline, the nonlinear operating mechanism should be improved to constantly obtain a negative entropy and promote an order development of tourism system. Introduction The study of tourist destination has always been one of the hot topics in tourism study. Meanwhile, analyzing evolution characteristics of the tourism system is conductive to guide an orderly and coordinated development of tourism. -

The Jesuits As Knowledge Brokers Between Europe and China (1582-1773): Shaping European Views of the Middle Kingdom
Working Papers No. 105/07 The Jesuits as Knowledge Brokers Between Europe and China (1582-1773): Shaping European Views of the Middle Kingdom Ashley E. Millar © Ashley E. Millar London School of Economics September 2007 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 The Jesuits as Knowledge Brokers Between Europe and China (1582- 1773): Shaping European Views of the Middle Kingdom Ashley E. Millar Abstract Europe in the sixteenth and most of the seventeenth century was engulfed in a wave of Sinophilia. However, by the eighteenth century a dramatic shift in the popular view of China in Europe occurred and Sinophobic writings began to dominate. The primary scholarly argument about the causes behind this shift in perceptions maintains the transformation stemmed predominantly from changes in European history, particularly, economic growth and political consolidation. This paper asks how the motives, the roles and the consequences of the Jesuits as agents of information regarding China affected the European perception of the Middle Kingdom and contributed to the evolution of Orientalism. It examines the evolution of the Jesuit mission in China, the role of personal motivation and problems surrounding conceptual and practical barriers to the construction and transmission of information. It finds that economic progress and political consolidation in Europe did result in a changing of perspectives on the nature of the Empire of China. However, this shift did not occur solely due to endogenous changes in Europe, but was also a result of the creation of the one-dimensional image of China by the Jesuits according to their personal motivations and unique context. -

It examines how missionaries acquired and utilized local properties, demonstrating how property acquisitions provided a testing ground for Sino-Western relations. While historians have typically focused on the ways that missionaries affected Chinese populations and policies, I instead argue that living and attempting to gain influence in Guangdong altered missionaries’ tactics and strategies in ways that had far-reaching consequences. The government of China (which over the course of my study changed from an empire to a republic) consistently attempted to restrict foreign missions’ right to purchase Chinese properties. -
Chinese Porcelain in Europe
International Journal of New Developments in Engineering and Society ISSN 2522-3488 Vol. 3, Issue 2: 268-271, DOI: 10.25236/IJNDES.19235 Chinese porcelain in Europe Dongliang Lyu1, Yang Liu1, Wu Wei2 1. Faculty of Humanities, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 2. Sino-French school of Tourism, Guangzhou University, China ABSTRACT. Since the 16th century, with the Portuguese arriving in China, a large number of Chinese porcelain has been exported to Europe. This article depicts the collection and distribution of Chinese porcelain in Europe by three aspects: the history of ceramic trade between China and Europe, the special kinds of export porcelain and the collection of Chinese porcelain in European museums. Keywords: Chinese Porcelain; Europe; Kraak Porcelain; Armorial Porcelain 0. Introduction Porcelain has become a Chinese business card in the eyes of foreigners. From the 5th century, Chinese ceramics began to be exported to the Middle East through the Silk Road. At the beginning of the 16th century, Chinese ceramics began to move to Europe with the arrival of the Portuguese. Hundreds of millions of porcelain were exported to the European countries. There are so many museums in various European countries still contain a large amount of Chinese porcelain. 1. "Pottery" and "Porcelain" Before the 16th century, the Europeans used a lot of potteries as tableware in their daily life. However, unlike porcelain, pottery is not suitable for placing food and containing food. It is easy to cause food corruption and indirectly leads to the spread of various diseases. After the late 16th century, Europeans gradually used Chinese porcelain to replace pottery in daily life.In fact, there are many differences between pottery and porcelain. -
