Research progress of international rivers in China

China possesses over 110 international rivers and lakes, among which 41 are major ones and 15 are of great importance. With the highest concentration of international rivers, the northeast, northwest and southwest regions of China enjoy abundant transboundary resources and pose complicated ecological security issues. Following the 1950s, relevant studies on international rivers fall into three periods: 1) the planned economy period of the 1950s-1980s when border development and basic research were scant; 2) the reform and opening-up period from 1980 to the end of 20th century. Along with the drive of economic globalization and regional cooperation, development of international rivers was thriving, which filled blanks in the research and narrowed gaps with international standards. Relevant studies also provided national and local governments with important scientific grounds for making decisions; 3) since the start of the 21st century, China has integrated its international river studies across sectors and across international borders. Now both government and scientific institutions pay great attention to transboundary environmental issues.

The recent disciplinal progresses of agricultural entomology in China

In this paper, four recent advances and achievements of China in agricultural insect research, namely, on the genome of silkworm (Bombyx mori Linnaeus), on the geographical differentiation and regional migration of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)), on the standardized monitoring techniques for safety of honey bee (Apis mellifera Linnaeus) products, and on the virus transmission property of small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén)) as well as the interactions between vector and rice stripe virus (RSV), were reported. All of these researches are very important for controlling agricultural insect pests and the diseases they transmit, accelerating the molecular biological research of silkworm, and promoting the international trade of honey bee products. Most of these achievements mentioned above have got the national, provincial, ministerial or municipal awards on science and technology.

A Case for the Modifiability of the San Francisco Peace Treaty: Examining the Varying Positions of the U.S. and Britain Over South Korean Participation

Through a detailed analysis and documentation of relevant U.S.foreign relations and other official documents of the period around the Korean War,this paper aims to prove that in the early negotiation process of the 1951 San Francisco peace treaty,the United States maintained that South Korea should participate in signing the treaty and that the U.S.changed its position because of the resilient British opposition to South Korean participation,which in turn was motivated strongly by the British concern over its strategic interests in East Asia and its diplomatic relations with the newly communized China.In particular,the Chinese intervention in the Korean War and the communist recapture of Seoul provided the impetus for this shift in the U.S.position that led to the exclusion of South Korea from the treaty.Because the substance of the San Francisco peace treaty was dictated by the exigencies under the Korean War and the Cold War and lacks the“Grotian spirit of international law”underlying the founding of the League of Nations and the United Nations,the San Francisco peace treaty does not contain sufficient merit to be worthy of permanent compliance,which leaves open the possibility of modification in the future.

SPECIAL ISSUE： RULE OF LAW--CHINA AND THE WORLD International Rule of Law and Rule of Law Construction in China

The rule of law has international as well as domestic attributes, so it can be divided into two levels： the domestic rule of law and the international rule of law. Using the thinking behind the international rule of law to build the rule of law in China is both necessary and inevitable. China should put into practice the idea of the international rule of law at the institutional and the governance levels, and should at the same time participate in the UN＇s rule of law activities and in international rule-making, thereby extending its rule of law discourse power and influence in the international sphere.

The Rule of Law in Foreign-Related Affairs in Building China into a Great Modern Country

The call to advance the rule of law in foreign-related affairs is an important component of China's strategic move to a great modern country.In modern times,Western countries have applied rule of law practices in their modernization,demonstrating the values of a sound rule of law system for national strength.In particular,the rule of law,extended beyond national borders,provides a crucial guarantee for a great modern country's sustained,stable,and healthy path,and is also a clear symbol of a country's soft power.As China is progressing to become a great modern country,there is a need to pay a particularly close attention to the rule of law,actively promoting the legalization of foreign-related work.China's stance on the rule of law in foreign-related affairs should include both a principle of defending its core interests and a principle of advocating shared values and of promoting mutually beneficial cooperation.In the context of this era,China's international law professional community should delve into appropriate models that can facilitate smooth progress on the path to modernization,further enhancing the rule of law in China and the successful emergence of a great modern country.

论中国涉外法治体系的构建

涉外法治体系是中国特色社会主义法治体系的重要组成部分。涉外法治作为国内法治和国际法治的桥梁与纽带,其立足于法治中国建设的具体实践,更关系到国际法治的稳定与发展。涉外法治体系涵摄完备的涉外法律法规体系、高效的涉外法治实施体系、健全的涉外法律服务体系和开放的涉外法治融通体系,体现涉外法治工作涉及面广、联动性强的基本特征。构建涉外法治体系更需有效的保障机制,加强专业化人才培养体系建设和构建以国际法为支撑的自主知识和话语体系,是构建并完善涉外法治体系的关键所在。

论无人海洋系统的国际法规制与我国的因应

无人海洋系统国际规制的难点体现在无人海洋系统自身法律地位界定、主权豁免、航行(或飞越)权等多个领域,而国际海事组织(IMO)无人船国际造法则代表着该领域的规则变革。无人海洋系统国际法规制困境,不仅因为无人海洋系统触及海洋治理的多个治理维度,而且因为其规制具有治理主体多元化、规则碎片化和国际话语权不均等特征。我国未来应从加强无人海洋系统完善海洋治理能力、推进国际和国内法治建设三个层面予以因应。

我国来华留学生教育政策内容的量化研究

来华留学生教育政策是持续有效推动“留学中国”品牌打造的制度力量,研究来华留学生教育政策有助于明晰政策制定的现状和后续改进的方向。通过构建“教育政策工具—教育发展要素”二维分析框架,并对2000年以来4份具有代表性的来华留学生教育政策文本进行整理、编码和量化分析发现,我国来华留学生教育政策的发展呈现出阶段性特点,在教育政策工具和教育发展要素的分布上存在不同程度的过溢、不足或缺失。为此,应增加激励、能力建设和系统变革工具的运用,加强师资和教学资源建设的政策供给,增强教学研究和教学质量环节的政策供给力度。
