Spatiotemporal pattern of climate change in the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor from 1901 to 2018

The China-Myanmar Economic Corridor(CMEC) is an important part of China's Belt and Road Initiative and an important area for global ecology and biodiversity. In this study, the annual and seasonal spatiotemporal patterns of temperature and precipitation in the CMEC over the past century were investigated using linear tendency estimation, the Mann-Kendall mutation test, the T-test, and wavelet analysis based on the monthly mean climatic data from 1901 to 2018 released by the Climatic Research Unit(CRU) of the University of East Anglia, UK. The results show that the CMEC demonstrated a trend of warming and drying over the past 100 years, and the rate of change in Myanmar was stronger than that in Yunnan Province of China. The warming rate was 0.039 ℃/10a. Precipitation decreased at a rate of -6.1 mm/10a. From the perspective of spatial distribution, temperature was high in the central and southern, low in the north of the CMEC, and the high-temperature centers were mainly distributed in the southern plain and river valley. Precipitation decreased from west to east and from south to north of the CMEC. From the perspective of the rate of change, warming was stronger in central and northern CMEC than in southern and northeastern CMEC. The rate of precipitation decline was stronger in the central and western regions than in the eastern region. This study provides a scientific reference for the CMEC to address climate change and ensure sustainable social and economic development and ecological security.

The Belt and Road Initiative and the Concept of an Economic Corridor along the Southern Silk Road

The Belt and Road Initiative requires the urgent revival of the Southern Silk Road. This means a good understanding of its rich historical connotations and its comprehensive and mutual-beneficial functions. Starting from a very early period, the Southern Silk Road has played an important role in the history of Yunnan and has been characterized by using cowry as money. This paper proposes the development of a new economic corridor along the Southern Silk Road from Xi'an in the north, via Chengdu and Kunming, to South Asia and Southeast Asia thus linking the Silk Road Economic Belt to the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road. This will bring about a new phase of all-around opening-up linking domestic and overseas markets via land and sea.

The Impact of the Maputo Development Corridor on Wealth Creation within the Region It Serves

The Maputo Development Corridor along the N4 toll road between the north-eastern provinces of South Africa and Maputo （the capital and main port of Mozambique） was initiated in 1996. A Development Corridor can be seen as a concept to elevate an area to a certain level of development. One of the objectives of this project was investment in transport infrastructure in order to create an enabling environment for economic growth and development. The project is also in line with the 1995 Spatial Development Initiatives of the South African Government that attempt to improve investment in those areas were the greatest potential for growth exists. This paper addresses economic wealth creation within the broader region that the N4 toll road and the corridor currently serve. The research revealed that the areas closer to the N4 corridor had higher growth in terms of economic output as measured by Gross Valued Added than those further removed. There were a stronger correlation between growth in employment and proximity to the road corridor for the manufacturing, construction, trade and transport sectors. Analysis done also shows that income per capita has grown at a faster rate in areas closer to the corridor that areas further removed.

“俾路支解放军”恐袭新动向及中国参与治理的策略

巴基斯坦长期受到恐怖主义危害,猖獗的恐怖活动既迟滞了国家的正常发展,又严重掣肘了国际共赢合作。随着中巴两国经济的深度合作,尤其是中巴经济走廊建设“红利”的不断释放,两国利益更加交融,交流更加广泛,民众更加受益。但是,中巴经济合作亦面临着越来越多的恐袭危害,“俾路支解放军”日益成为头号威胁。近年来,“俾路支解放军”针对在巴中国项目、机构和人员的恐袭频次增多、对象扩大、手段更无人性,出现了一些新动向。这既与俾路支民族本身所固有的历史和文化因素有关,又与俾路支地区长期存在的结构性矛盾和域外大国的挑拨离间脱不了干系。为了应对“俾解”对中国在巴利益的严重威胁,中国应努力消除“俾解”恐袭动员的经济社会根源,推动中巴共赢合作长效机制的建设。

数字服务贸易竞争性与互补性研究——基于“中国—中亚—西亚”经济走廊的分析

随着“新基建”的加速推进,5G、云计算、人工智能等数字技术的快速发展,各国对数字服务贸易关注度日益上升。本文基于2012-2021年中国—中亚—西亚经济走廊内主要国家数字服务贸易数据,对走廊内数字服务贸易发展现状进行分析,并采用贸易竞争指数RCA和贸易互补指数,对走廊整体和廊内国家发展情况进行了竞争性和互补性研究。通过研究发现,中国—中亚—西亚经济走廊数字服务贸易规模差距较大,中国廊段的数字服务贸易规模明显高于其他廊段,各国数字服务贸易结构较为单一,走廊整体对外依存度过高。此外,走廊内数字服务贸易竞争性和互补性相对较低,西亚廊段竞争性略大于中国及中亚廊段,但西亚廊段内主要国家数字服务贸易发展水平差距较大。从走廊内国家数字服务贸易发展水平来看,大部分国家数字服务贸易呈波动式上升趋势,走廊数字服务贸易市场潜力巨大,可发展性较强。在未来发展中,廊内各国需积极合作,发挥各自优势,合力研发核心技术,提高走廊数字服务贸易国际竞争力。
