A scenario analysis of oil and gas consumption in China to 2030 considering the peak CO_2 emission constraint

China is now beginning its 13th five-year guideline. As the top CO2 emitter, China has recently submitted the intended nationally determined contributions and made the commitment to start reducing its total carbon emissions in or before 2030. In this study, a bottom-up energy system model is built and applied to analyze the energy （mainly coal, oil, and gas） consumption and carbon emissions in China up to 2030. The results show that, the total energy consumption will reach a peak of 58.1 billion tonnes of standard coal and the CO2 emissions will get to 105.8 billion tonnes. Moreover, in the mitigation scenario, proportion of natural gas consumption will increase by 7 % in 2020 and 10 % in 2030, respectively. In the trans- portation sector, gasoline and diesel consumption will gradually decrease, while the consumption of natural gas in 2030 will increase by 2.7 times compared to the reference scenario. Moreover, with the promotion of electric cars, the transport electricity consumption will increase 3.1 times in 2030 compared to the reference scenario. In order to fulfill the emission peaking target, efforts should be made from both the final demand sectors and oil and gas production industries, to help adjust the energy structure and ensure the oil and gas supply in future.

Wind regime features and their impacts on the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River on the Tibetan Plateau, China

The wide valley of the Yarlung Zangbo River is one of the most intense areas in terms of aeolian activity on the Tibetan Plateau,China.In the past,the evaluation of the intensity of aeolian activity in the Quxu–Sangri section of the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley was mainly based on data from the old meteorological stations,especially in non-sandy areas.In 2020,six new meteorological stations,which are closest to the new meteorological stations,were built in the wind erosion source regions(i.e.,sandy areas)in the Quxu–Sangri section.In this study,based on mathematical statistics and empirical orthogonal function(EOF)decomposition analysis,we compared the difference of the wind regime between new meteorological stations and old meteorological stations from December 2020 to November 2021,and discussed the reasons for the discrepancy.The results showed that sandy and non-sandy areas differed significantly regarding the mean velocity(8.3(±0.3)versus 7.7(±0.3)m/s,respectively),frequency(12.9%(±6.2%)versus 2.9%(±1.9%),respectively),and dominant direction(nearly east or west versus nearly north or south,respectively)of sand-driving winds,drift potential(168.1(±77.3)versus 24.0(±17.9)VU(where VU is the vector unit),respectively),resultant drift potential(92.3(±78.5)versus 8.7(±9.2)VU,respectively),and resultant drift direction(nearly westward or eastward versus nearly southward or northward,respectively).This indicated an obvious spatial variation in the wind regime between sandy and non-sandy areas and suggested that there exist problems when using wind velocity data from non-sandy areas to evaluate the wind regime in sandy areas.The wind regime between sandy and non-sandy areas differed due to the differences in topography,heat flows,and their coupling with underlying surface,thereby affecting the local atmospheric circulation.Affected by large-scale circulations(westerly jet and Indian monsoon systems),both sandy and non-sandy areas showed similar seasonal variations in their respective wind regime.These findings provide a credible reference for re-understanding the wind regime and scientific wind-sand control in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley.

The Rise of Middle Power and China's New Focus in Diplomacy

The role of middle power is far-reaching,having evolved as a leading force in international relations.In confronting the new dynamic China should change its middle power perspective within its foreign strategy.By adjusting its strategic relations with middle powers promptly and making an explicit stance,China can achieve more flexibility,effectiveness and power in diplomacy.

The Prosecutorial Protection of Digital Human Rights

In the digital age,the rise of digital human rights has become an important expansion in the field of human rights.When advancing digital prosecution strategies,prosecutorial agencies should pay greater attention to the protection of digital human rights.The fragile state of digital human rights and the unique position of prosecutorial agencies in human rights protection make it imperative that prosecutorial agencies place more emphasis on fulfilling their responsibilities in legal oversight to promote the protection of digital human rights.Currently,prosecutorial agencies have strengthened the protection of digital human rights through such measures as promoting legal oversight with big data,enhancing the handling of criminal cases involving citizens'digital human rights,expanding the scope of public interest litigation protecting digital human rights,and improving their roles in civil and administrative prosecution.However,there are still challenges related to the inadequacy of updating the mindset,the incompleteness of measures,and the lack of innovation in mechanisms and systems.Therefore,prosecutorial agencies should further align with the implementation of digital prosecution strategies,update their human rights protection concepts,intensify efforts to combat cybercrime,strengthen the protection of citizens'personal information through prosecution,enhance public interest protection of collective digital human rights through public interest litigation,and actively innovate prosecutorial work mechanisms and systems to bolster the protection of digital human rights.

The History of the CPC Is a History of the Shaping and Improvement of Its Mass Line

The history of the Party is a history in which the Party led the people to fight with the domestic and foreign enemies to achieve national and social liberation, and also a history in which the Party gradually established and deepened its flesh-and-blood ties with the people and shaped and improved its mass line. Without the support of the Chinese people, there would be no Communist Party of China. The people has always been root of the Party＇s survival and development, and the mass line has permeated into all aspects of the Party＇s lines, principles and policies, thus becoming the Chinese Communists＇ feelings and beliefs deep into the soul, their culture, ethics, ways of thinking, lifestyle, and driving force and lifeline.

What Is Behind the CPC's Success?

In the history of human development,100 years are but a brief moment.But for the China of today,the 100 years of the Communist Party of China have been a period of momentous change.These 100 years have changed the history and fate of the Chinese people,ushered in bright prospects for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,and seen the Chinese people make outstanding contributions to human development.

ON THE COMMUNICATION OF LEGAL CULTURE AND THE SUBJECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS OF CULTURE

The development history of human society as a whole is actually a history of human communication. The communication in legal culture plays a significant role in all activities of human communication. Over century's legal development and progress of China since the late of Qing Dynasty provide a meaningful example for the communication in legal culture of human society. However, the understanding and discussions of many problems in the academic field of Chinese law have been in a state of unawareness subject, that is,the state of lacking the subjective awareness of culture,which in large degree cause the fact that modern Chinese legal science or Chinese jurists have not entered into the legal culture communication of human as a subject of communication with awareness. In the history of world legal development,the communication in different legal cultures is realized through five forms of borrowing,succession,transplant,integration and combination. The essence of the communication in legal culture is relevance and transformation of reality and expected as well as regionalization and universality and an interacting process of developing from regionalization to universality and the universality is composed of regionalization. Without the subjective awareness of culture,it is difficult to set up the status of culture subject,to correctly understand and explain various forms and general regularity of the communication in legal culture and also to positively take part in cultural communication activities. As a result,it is even more difficult to correctly understand and ensure the construction and development of its legal system.
