Auto Regulation Harmonization Activities in China

Ⅰ Current status of Chinese auto standardization "Standardization Law of Peo-ples’ Republic of China" promulgat-ed in Dec. 1988 and enforced in April 1989 stipulates that Chinese standards are divided into national standard and occupation standard by levels, and mandatory standard and recommended standard in attri-

VISIT HIGHLIGHTING GM'S ACTIVITIES IN CHINA

GM’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. John F. Smith, came to China in early July and expressed his willingness to enlarge cooperation with China during his attention to The High-Level Round Table Conference on China’s Agenda 21. Some of the GM’s experts attended the conference too. Mr. John F. Smith stated GM’s environmental protection operations in auto-correlated aspects. He summarized GM’s achievements in their products and manufacturing operations, and said some of which have become worldwide standards. He expressed his confidence that GM’s capabilities and experience may be useful to China.

GM′s Activities In China

The automotive industry in China is widely expected to double in size by the end of the decade. Accordingly the Chinese government has assigned high priority to the development of the automotive industry and cooperative projects between foreign and Chinese partners in the auto industry.

Ford's Activities in China

Ford, as one of earliest China-goers came here for auto sales in 1913. It set up a sales and service branch in Shanghai in 1928 whose func-tion remained operational uritil the beginning of World War Ⅱ. In 1948, the Shanghai branch was closed because the entire commercial

Physical activity, physical fitness, and body mass index in the Chinese child and adolescent populations： An update from the 2016 Physical Activity and Fitness in China The Youth Study

In this special issue of the Journal of Sport and Health Science,analyses of the most recent national prevalence estimates from the 2016 Physical Activity and Fitness in China—The Youth Study(PAFCTYS)are presented.These include the prevalence of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA)。

Preface to the Special Issue on Advances in Seismic Exploration and Monitoring with Active Sources in China

Analyzing the information carriede by seismic waves is a major means for human beings to have an insight into the structure of the earth’s interior,and by using artificial seismic sources to excite seismic waves,we can obtain high-resolution images for the crustal and smaller scale medium.Artificial seismic exploration methods have been widely applied to fields such as

Step it up： Promoting physical activity in school-aged children and adolescents in China

In this special issue of the Journal of Sport and Health Science,a series of articles describe the results of the 2016Physical Activity and Fitness in China—The Youth Study.The results show a relatively high prevalence of sedentary behaviors,unhealthy weight,lower fitness levels,and lower levels

Earthquake Disaster and Seismic Activity in China Since 1949

An outline is given in the present paper of the general situation of earthquake disasters and their temporal,spatial,and magnitude distributions in China since 1949,based on recently published Chinese disaster data.A comparison was made between the earthquake disasters and seismic activities in China during this period.The results show that 477 disaster-causing earthquakes have occurred during this period,resulting in a death toll of 278,000 persons and the collapse of 11,000,000 rooms in residence houses.The total direct economic losses exceeded 42 billion Yuan(Chinese currency,the same below).A comparison of earthquake disasters in various regions(between East and West China,between various provinces,etc.)has shown that both correlations and significant differences exist between the spatial distributions of earthquake disasters and seismic activities in China.For example,seismic activity shows a feature of being "stronger in the West than in the East," whereas the earthquake disasters are stronger

THE ANALYSIS OF REMOTE SENSING IMAGES FOR ACTIVE FAULTS AND EARTHQUAKES IN CHINA

The Landsat image information has recently been widely applied to structural geology, especially to the analysis of lineaments, owing to their macroscopic, visual and comprehensive features. The images will be more effective when applied to the interpretation of active faults. Active faults are widely ditributed in China. Much attention has been paid to the study of active faults both in China and abroad. There is certain controversy concerning the implication of the term "active fault". Strictly speaking, the term should refer only to the faults that are still active in the present day. However, the term also usually refers to the faults which have been active continually or intermittently from the Quaternary (or the end of Tertiary) to the present day. We propose that the tones and the configurations of features on Landsat images are the principal keys to the interpretation of active faults. The faults, which display the most prominent
