Impacts of Yulong Mountain Glacier on Tourism in Lijiang

The glacier on the Yulong Mountain is one of the most important attractions in Lijiang, Yunnan, China. But it keeps retreating these years due to global warming, which is bound to influence regional tourism significantly in Lijiang. This study estimates the effects of the glacier retreat of the Yulong Mountains on tourism there. Primary data were collected through a visitor survey including demographics, motives, lengths of stay, and opinions about each tourism resource from tourists to Lijiang, as well as questions about which scenic spot（s） they had visited or would visit, how much they expended per day during their visit and how their visiting behavior would be changed upon the hypothesis that the glacier would disappear. These data were used to analyze the proportion of the contribution of glacier to the tourism in Lijiang and estimate the impact of glacier on the regional tourism quantitatively. According to the survey, it could be concluded that three quarters of the tourists to Lijiang were interested in the Yulong Mountain glacier, indicating that the glacier possesses notable appeal for sightseeing tourists. The results of our analysis showed that about 689,013-1,508,247 tourists, accounting for 19.63-42.97 % of the total 3,510,000 domestic tourists to Lijiang in 2004, would not come to Lijiang in the absence of the glacier, resulting in a possible direct economic loss of 84,382,508-184,713,011 USD （viz. 700,374,824-1,533,117,993 RMB） and a markedly decrease in the attraction radius.

Translation Study on Figurative Rhetoric in Folding Beijing From the Perspective of Skopos Theory

HAO Jing-fang, a Chinese writer with her novel Folding Beoing, was awarded the 2016 Hugo Award, the top award in global science fiction community, the second for Chinese science fiction writers after LIU Ci-xin for his The Three-Body Problem, which stroke a strong shockwave to the science fiction community around the world. It cannot be denied that Ken LIU＇s translation has played an irreplaceable role in the success of Folding Beijing Unfortunately, there are a few studies on LIU＇s translation of Folding Beoing, let alone with Skopos theory. This paper refers to massive studies on it by scholars at home and abroad and is based on a careful reading of Folding Beifing, its translation counterpart and concludes that the translator adopts Skopos theory in translating figurative rhetoric by linking the three basic roles with the LIU＇s ideas on translation. This paper studies the translation on the figurative rhetoric in Folding Beijing and extracts so many typical sentences as to certify the flexible strategies and methods adopted by the author under Skopos theory, which conforms to the reading habit and taste of the target audience and provides a paradigm for the future translation of Chinese science fictions

Discussion on the Impact of Revaluing Chinese Currency

This paper discusses how the threat of revaluing Chinese currency would impact China and world＇s economy. The author discusses the issue from 5 perspectives. （1）Revaluing Chinese currency（the renminbi, RMB）would decreases China＇s export and increases its import, which will lead to reduce its foreign exchange reserves, and then bring about import decreasing. China＇s economy will get into recession. China＇s export decreasing means other countries＇ import that come from china will reduce and bring about unfavorable influence on international trade. （2） The RMB appreciation will make re-export products dearer and make China less attractive to foreign investment. （3） Both China＇s banking system and its capital market are under-developed. Revaluing RMB will destabilize China financial market, even though world financial market. （4） If the risk comes from revaluing the RMB become true, it will hinder the transformation of the China＇s foreign exchange system. （5） Priced Chinese exports due to revaluing the RMB will worsen China＇s already grim employment situation. Since above negative influences will produce from Revaluing the RMB, it is wise for China to choose stabilizing the RMB rather then Revaluing the RMB.

Study on Planning an Ecological Stormwater Regulation System Based on Low Impact Development Mode： A Case Study in China

This paper sets Chaihu Town, Zhongxiang City of Hubei Province as an example, analyzing the ecological and hydrological conditions of Chaihu Town, applying LID （low impact development） mode and putting forward the ecological stormwater regulation system planning strategy which adapts to the development of small towns. The main conclusions are as follows： （1） The ＂three-low＂ development mode is put forward, which means low impact, low cost and low carbon, using this construction mode to minimize the ecological impact, relying on natural green space and water to achieve the function of rainstorm regulation; （2） Through the analysis and calculation of the local amount of precipitation, this paper scientifically calculates the required area of storage water and green space, taking the roads as trunks, green spaces as stems, water as veins, and building the green infrastructure system; （3） The author has been repairing and integrating the original drainage ditches of the planning area, replacing traditional rain drainage pipes, establishing ＂two-loop＂ water network system which aims at the detention and purification of rainwater, maximizing ecological benefit, economic benefit and landscape benefit.

家庭债务周期、总需求与中国出口

改革开放以来,随着中国在国际贸易中的地位不断提升,个别霸权国家大肆宣扬“中国威胁论”,并公然挑起贸易争端,遏制中国发展。这都是建立在中国出口增长是外生供给冲击基础上的观点,均未从进口国国内经济角度深入剖析中国出口增长的原因。文章从家庭债务冲击引起总需求扩张的视角为中国的出口增长提供了一种新的解释,即进口国家庭债务扩张导致的总需求增加传导到国际贸易中,刺激了中国出口。文章首先构建了一个理论模型,阐述了家庭债务扩张向外贸的传导路径,然后利用1979-2018年的跨国信贷数据和中国出口数据,实证检验了进口国家庭债务扩张对中国出口的影响。实证结果验证了中国出口增长的一个重要原因是进口国家庭债务扩张驱动其国内消费需求增长,家庭债务每增加1个百分点会使得同期中国出口增长约0.428个百分点;并且这一结果在中国加入WTO前后和金融危机前后均成立。文章不仅有利于重新认识中国出口增长的成因,而且对于理解国内国际双循环实施过程中外循环与内循环间的联动以及重塑双循环的意义,都有非常重要的参考价值。

An ensemble estimation of impact times and strength of Fukushima nuclear pollution to the east coast of China and the west coast of America

Based on the statistics of all surface drifting buoys of 1978-2011 and Lagrangian tracers simulated from high quality ocean reanalysis currents,the impact times and strength of Fukushima nuclear pollution to the east coast of China and the west coast of America have been estimated.Under the circumstances of the radioactive pollutants drifting in the ocean surface,preliminary research results show that while the tracers took about 4 years to reach the west coast of USA,there are two types of tracers to carry out Fukushima nuclear pollutants to reach the east coast of China,corresponding to 1.5-year recirculation gyre transport and 3.5-year subtropical circulation transport.The distributions of the impact strength at these time scales are given according to the variation of relative number concentration with time combined with the decaying rate of radioactive matter.For example,starting from 1% at 1.5-year,of the initial level at the originating area of Fukushima nuclear pollution,the impact strength of Cesium-137 in the South China Sea continuously increases up to 3% by 4 years,while the impact strength of Cesium-137 in the west coast of America is as high as 4% due to the role of strong Kuroshio-extension currents as a major transport mechanism of nuclear pollutants for that area.
