Where Westerners Stray in Their Exploration of China’s Human Rights

Respecting and protecting human rights is an important fruit of the progress of human society and a significant landmark for a modern civil society. It is a common pursuit for people throughout the world and a long, sublime goal for the Chinese government and its people. Since the reform and opening up initiated in 1978, China has made unprecedented progress in both its human rights cause and modernization drive.

Develop China's Great West——A major move to improve human rights of minorities

The Great Western China Development Drive launched by China’s Central Authorities at the turn of the century is not only a strategic move to narrow the development gap between the eastern and western parts of the country an harmonious development of the national economy but also a major move for narrowing the development gap among different ethnic groups and further improving human rights of the people, especially minorities.

Formation of the adakite-like granitoid complex and porphyry copper-gold deposit in Shaxi from southern Tancheng-Lujiang fault belt: A clue to the West Pacific plate subduction

On the basis of the geological and geochemical studies, including chemical analysis of bulk rocks, rare-earth and trace element studies, fluid inclusion, and S and O isotopic analyses, the authors described the geological background of the deposit in detail and presented significant proofs for the conditions of formation of the Shaxi porphyry copper-gold deposit. Compared with other large and supper-large porphyry copper deposits in China and the adjacent Cu-Au mineralized areas, the ore-forming processes and conditions were analyzed; and the possibility of forming large porphyry copper deposits in the Shaxi area was discussed. The present study indicated that the ore-forming fluid and material were mainly of magmatic origin, while meteoric water played a certain role in the ore-forming processes. Interactions between subducting and overriding plates provided a major driving force for the formation of igneous rocks and the deposition of metal elements in East China since Jurassic. Based on the geo- chemical data of the Shaxi intrusive, it is found that the copper (gold) mineralization is closely related to the genesis of adakite-like intrusive in the Shaxi area. This adakite-like intrusive was formed in the subduction environment as a result of the subduction of the West Pacific plate toward the East China continent, where there is a great potentiality to form a large porphyry copper deposit.

PERSISTENCES IN THE δ^(13)C AND δ^(18)O FROM TS95, A LAKE CORE AT THE SOUTH FRANK OF WEST KUNLUN MOUNTAIN

Tibet Plateau has uplifted greatly in the Late Cenozoic era (Li Jijun et al., 1979; Sun Honglie, 1996; Shi Yafeng et al., 1998). The uplift will unquestionably influence the environment and climate of the plateau in the same time (such as resulting in the decrease of temperature) and leave some footprint on the contemporary sediments on or around the plateau. So, there must be some persistence component in the environmental and climatic evolution reflected by the geochemical information in the contemporary sediments. TS95, namely Tianshuihai Lake core is at the south frank of West Kunlun Mountain of Tibet Plateau and is suitable for the investigation of the persistence component. Using R/S analysis, Zhou Houyun et al. (1999) have previously calculated the Hurst index H of the three ferric indexes, FeO, Fe\-2O\-3 and ratio of FeO/ Fe\-2O\-3, from TS95. It is found that all these indexes satisfy Hurst law and they all are greater than 0 5, which means that there are some long run dependencies\|persistence component in the climatic and environmental evolution around Tianshuihai Lake area. This is in accordance with previous work by Yu Suhua et al. (1996). In this paper, the authors use the same method to do some R/S analysis on the other two climatic proxies of TS95, δ 13 C and δ 18 O, which are more suitable than the three ferric indexes to be climatic and environmental proxies. It is found that both the δ 13 C and δ 18 O satisfy Hurst law very well with H δ 13 C =0 875 and H δ 18 O =894, which suggests stronger persistence than the three ferric indexes.

China's Role in the World

In essence, two epoch-making events are reshaping the world order today: thecollapse of the old Soviet bloc and the rise of Asia-Pacific, of which China’s eco-nomic takeoff constitutes an important part. While the former brought an end tothe East-West Cold War, the latter is making tremendous contributions

Xi Jinping's Discussion of Civilization History and the Discourse Construction of China's Road

The significance of discourse construction in the civilization discussion of Xi Jinping is explored in this paper: The 500-year history of world socialism and the 5000-year history of Chinese civilization, Xi Jinping' s studies of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the long history of civilization development, highlighting Socialism with Chinese characteristics as a product in the development of human civilization, the great contribution to world civilization progress and the creative development of Marxism which has been the most distinctive feature in Chinese discourse structure since the 18 th National Congress of the CPC. As the conscious construction of epistemology, it has given unprecedented historical and cultural implications to China' s road and opened the new theory space for the discourse construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics or the academic expression of China' s road.

基于多源卫星影像的同震地表破裂带迹象变化识别——以2001年昆仑山口西M_(S)8.1地震为例

基于震前、震后多期卫星数据,对2001年11月4日昆仑山口西MS8.1同震地表破裂进行了研究,结果表明:①同震破裂带的西段在震前未发现先存破裂遗迹,而东段是在先存地震破裂遗迹上再次发生了破裂。②震后两年,湖面冰、大型河道、冲沟和冲洪积扇上的地表破裂迅速地被活动性流水和气温变化等破坏,在影像上已无踪迹;震后二十年,低级阶地的地表破裂几乎无法识别,而高级阶地的破裂带保留较完整,可识别长度锐减至64%,呈“碎片”化展布。因此,同震地表破裂带的影像识别主要受所处地貌位置和气候变化等地表作用过程的影响,同时也受影像的空间分辨率及影像获取时间等因素的影响;而较老地貌面上保留的破裂带遗迹仍有助于开展历史地震、古地震地表破裂带的回溯研究。

The Third Way in the U.S.and Western Europe

In recent years,the political scene in major Western powers has undergone afundamental change in response to the fluid international situation:in the U-nited States,Bill Clinton was elected President in 1992 breaking Republican controlover White House;while on West European political stage,right-wing ruling pari-ties gave place to the left one after another.Currently,13 out of 15 EU memberstates,except Spain and Ireland,have a government run by left parties or

Double-difference tomography of P- and S-wave velocity structure beneath the western part of Java, Indonesia

West Java in the western part of the Sunda Arc has a relatively high seismicity due to subduction activity and faults.In this study,double-difference tomography was used to obtain the 3D velocity tomograms of P and S waves beneath the western part of Java.To infer the geometry of the structure beneath the study area,precise earthquake hypo・center determination was first performed before tomographic imaging.For this,earthquake waveform data were extracted from the regional Meteorological,Climatological,Geophysical Agency(BMKG)network of Indonesia from South Sumatra to Central Java.The P and S arrival times for about 1,000 events in the period April 2009 to July 2016 were selected,the key features being events of magnitude>3,azimuthal gap<210°and number of phases>8.A nonlinear method using the oct-tree sampling algorithm from the NonLinLoc program was employed to determine the earthquake hypocenters.The hypocenter locations were then relocated using double-difference tomography(tomoDD).A significant reduction of travel-time(root mean square basis)and a better clustering of earthquakes were achieved which correlated well with the geological structure in West Java.Double-difference tomography was found to give a clear velocity structure,especially beneath the volcanic arc area,i.e.,under Mt Anak Krakatau,Mt Salak and the mountains complex in the southern part of West Java.Low velocity anomalies for the P and S waves as well as the vp/vs ratio below the volcanoes indicated possible partial melting of the upper mantle which ascended from the subducted slab beneath the volcanic arc.

渤中8-4油田“S”型走滑转换带特征及其对浅层油气侧封的控制作用

新构造运动在渤海海域表现强烈,形成了渤中凹陷特有的走滑构造体系和浅层油气藏。前人研究集中在走滑运动论证和走滑转换带类型探讨上,缺乏对走滑构造带控藏作用的精细研究。利用地震资料,结合油田实例,探讨了渤中8-4油田走滑转换带特征和对油气侧封的控制作用。研究认为,渤中8-4油田主断裂为“S”型走滑转换带,发育释压带和增压带两类转换带。释压带地层陡,圈闭不发育,是油气由深向浅的充注段;增压带地层缓,背形特征清晰,低幅断鼻、断块圈闭集中发育,为油气汇聚区。建立了走滑断裂封闭指数以定量表征走滑转换带的侧封能力,通过近20个油田的统计分析,认为可以把走滑断裂封闭指数4作为走滑断层侧封的临界值。该成果为富砂背景下的浅层油气勘探工作提供了一种新的方法和思路。

Geochemical Signatures of Séguéla Peridotites in the West African Craton

The present study deals with peridotites found in the paleo-proterozoic domain of the Leo Man Shield, Séguéla region, west-central of Côte d’Ivoire. Results show that Séguéla peridotites are composed of lherzolites, dunites and harzburgites. However, iherzolites are the most abundant. The phenocrysts in these rocks are olivine most often serpentinised, and pyroxenes, represented by diopside and enstatite. Amphiboles are divided into two groups: magmatic amphiboles and those from the destabilization of clinopyroxene. Spinels have CrO3 content which varies between 28% and 37%, Al2O3 between 33% - 41% and MgO is equal to 18%;they are poor in TiO2 and do not contain zinc oxide. Séguéla peridotites are characterised by a negative anomaly in Nb-Ta, associated with an enrichment of lithophilic elements and light rare earth elements with a fractionation rate (La/Yb) which varies between 46.22 and 150.72 and heavy rare earth elements, and HFSE depletion, which may suggest that were formed in an art context, that is, a mantle enriched by fluids from a subduction zone. However, another hypothesis could be considered, that of the interaction between the mantle and magmas in a subduction zone context.
