A Historical Review of the Development of Women’s Higher Education in China (1908-2020): Stages, Explanations, and Trends

The development of women’s higher education in China can be divided into four stages:emergence(1908-1948);foundation(1949-1976);accelerating development(1977-2008);and the qualitative leap(2009-2020).This work considers the principal institutional mechanisms that contributed to this development.First,flexibly planned parenthood gradually promoted gender equality and openness in society facilitated by systematic“awards,grants,and loans”initiatives to support women’s higher education economically.Second,compulsory education ensured that left-out and migrant children had access to higher education.Third,effective connectivity across different education types bridged education gaps between those with different levels of education.Fourth,China made great efforts to invite and integrate international experiences that promoted the development of women’s higher education.Looking beyond these achievements,we also discuss the future trends of women’s higher education in China.

A systems perspective on national prioritisation of sustainable development goals:Insights from Australia

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)requires effective national initiatives and resource allo-cation.Yet,the simultaneous attainment of all goals is hindered by constraints such as limited budgets and resources,varied national priorities,and the intricate nature of the goals.As we approach 2030 and beyond,an urgent need for an effective,data-driven prioritisation system exists to optimise what can be accomplished.A considerable knowledge gap persists in identifying the priority areas that demand concentrated attention and how their improvement would propel overall sustainability goals.To bridge this gap,our study presents a priori-tisation approach that identifies significant SDG indicators based on urgency and impact,utilising Benchmarking,Bivariate,and Network analysis.Furthermore,we introduce an innovative Impact Index(IMIN)to assess an indi-cator’s extensive effect on the SDG network.This system carries significant international relevance by establishing a robust framework to identify key,potent,and interconnected indicators.It supports decision-makers worldwide in comprehending their nation’s SDG performance and promotes efficient resource allocation.In the specific con-text of Australia,our analysis spotlights several impactful,yet underperforming SDG indicators.These include the protection of Freshwater,Terrestrial,and Mountain Key Biodiversity Areas(KBAs),the share of renewable energy and energy intensity level of primary energy,targeted research and development,gender equality in national parliaments,and carbon-efficient manufacturing,amongst others.

People's Well-rounded Development:The Value Orientation of Common Prosperity in the New Era

Achieving common prosperity for all is an important feature of Chinese modernization and an essential requirement of socialism with Chinese characteristics,with the core value orientation of promoting the people’s well-rounded development.This reflects the close relationship between people’s well-rounded development and common prosperity and implies that common prosperity is not just an economic issue,but also a political matter,a moral subject,and a human rights goal.Being“people-centered”is the core positioning of common prosperity,with its inherent collective and individual attributes.In terms of the object dimension of prosperity,it encompasses a wide range of rights such as material and spiritual well-being,which are advanced in a coordinated manner,and a deepening level of guarantee gradually improving.In the practical concept of“shared development,”it emphasizes the unity of state obligations and individual responsibilities,as well as the phased approach and promotion of common prosperity through the rule of law.Therefore,the essence of common prosperity lies in shifting from a“material-centered”perspective to a“people’s well-rounded development-centered”perspective.It combines the principles of fairness and inclusiveness with the recognition of diverse developmental needs.The focus is on enhancing the subjective initiative of the people,aiming to truly achieve the happiness of the people and promote people’s well-rounded development through the realization of“common prosperity.”

Counteraction to China?Impact of the U.S.International Development Finance Corporation on China’s Development Finance

The United States passed the Better Utilization of Investment Leading to Development(BUILD Act),as a counterweight to China’s overseas development activities.Under the Act,the US established a new federal agency,the U.S.International Development Finance Corporation(DFC),to enhance U.S.development financing capabilities.To better understand the impact of the DFC on China’s development finance,this article analyzes the DFC’s purpose,functions,structure,and funding.Then it focuses on the purpose of establishing the DFC,providing a preliminary analysis of the potential motivation for its establishment.It also compares the China Development Bank(CDB)and the DFC based on their focused sectors.Finally,through an in-depth analysis of financial frictions in China-U.S.relations,this article argues that the DFC competes with China’s overseas development financing activities in the context of broader strategic competition between China and the U.S.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FACING CHALLENGESIN 21ST CENTURY

ABSTRACT: The 21st Century is the time for human seeking harmonizing with environment and carrying out sustainable development strategy. But sustainable development is facing many challenges. They may mainly include the follows: challenge comes from the contradiction between human and the earth, challenge of local benefit conflict to human common goal, challenge of competition to fairness, challenge of unbalanced development in regions and countries, challenge of diversity and challenge of calamity. Challenges are not only pressure, but also the motive force. Challenge exists, the motive force would never stop. Sustainable development was born in challenges, is developing in contradiction and will sustain in conflict.

Development of NdFeB Magnet Industry in New Century (Continued)

1.2.2 Output decline at the beginning of the new century Output of sintered NdFeB magnets during 1993 to 2005 was characterized by three features: turning point in 2001; completely ceased production in USA by the end of 2003, very small production volume in Europe in those years and the recovered output in Japan since 2002; sharply increased output in China since 2002. Today, almost 80% of global total output is concentrated in China. The year 2001 was a "nightmare" for global magnet industry. Main consumers of NdFeB magnets - IT and computer industries greatly reduced their purchase of magnets due to the global economic recession. Statistics showed that the output of sintered NdFeB magnets in Japan in 2001 was 20.3% fallen in comparison with that in 2000 and the sales value was dropped by 36.2%. The similar situation happened to USA and Europe, with their outputs dropped by 40% and 15% respectively, and their sales value dropped by 51% and 34.9% each. Since then, the production in USA and Europe was decreased continuously. China was the only exception in the world escaped from the downward tendency. The turning point of global production of magnets appeared in 2001 due to the sharp output reduction of sintered NdFeB in the West.

Development of NdFeB Magnet Industry in New Century (Continued)

Europe was the gLobaL magnets center before World War Ⅱ. Afterwards, it had shifted to USA. Till Late 1960s, the center had moved to Japan. EventuaLLy, it moved to China at the beginning of 21st century. Magnet output in different countries （2005） is shown in Table 3.

Development and Prospects of China's Space Technology——Will China's space technology be brilliant again at the turn of the century?

For China,at the turn of the century,how to keep the position of the space power,how to stimulate the enthusiasm of the space technicians and how to keep pace with the world space technology,all of these questions lie ahead of the Chinese people.So we may say China’s space industry now is in the key stage.If the space industry draws great attention from the central government and the people of the country,it will have a brilliant future in the 21st century.We should put our eyes on the 21st century and prepare to explore space resources.It is difficult for us to keep pace with the times if we do not explore space resources and try to earn "the money in space".
