Journey to Ulan Bator-a train ride across the Gobi Desert

Aland-locked state three times the size of France bordered by Rus sia to the north and China to thesouth, Mongolia is far away from moder-ating maritime influences. After a short,pleasant summer, when the temperaturecan go up to 30 degrees, the long wintercan produce January temperatures below-40 in the capital Ulan Bator. This is muchcolder than would be expected for a lati-tude of 47 degrees North. A major factorin this is the wind which, when it blowsfrom the north, can q…     

中国古代的红河航道

历史上云南曾有过一条水陆交通线,即通往今天境外越南的红河航道。这条航道自先秦至元代一直存在并不断发展变化,史书对此有不少记载。红河航道的商业运输至唐朝时期(618~907年)繁荣发展到相当高度,可以由今越南河内北上,入今云南东南部、南部,转陆路交通路线,北上至今昆明,再转西折至今云南西部、西南部,入今缅甸境内,更北折西入今印度,形成了通往东南亚、南亚的国际水陆交通路线。同时又可自今昆明陆行北上,入今四川,更达中原。

两岸合作开发南海渔业资源法律机制构建

南海自古以来便是中国渔民的重要作业渔场。两岸合作开发南海渔业资源,是解决南海争端的重要着手点和突破口。两岸南海渔业合作符合双方共同利益,但这一合作必定面临诸多内外因素阻碍。内部因素是两岸主权共识缺失、互信基础薄弱、沟通渠道有限;外部因素是南海周边国家的分化和美国的阻扰。然而,南海渔业资源北衰南兴的现状与外来侵渔的紧迫形势决定了两岸加紧合作共同维护南海渔业资源主权权利是必要的。目前两岸在政策、法律和技术层面的一致性、默契性和互补性也决定了双方南海渔业合作是可行的。两岸可基于《海峡两岸经济合作框架协议》已搭建的制度化平台,由两岸经济合作委员会成立南海渔业工作小组,通过签订协议的方式构建南海渔业资源合作开发法律机制。

20世纪90年代以来南海争端中的美国因素

20世纪90年代中期以来,美国以保护自由通航为由逐步介入南海的争端,并将此作为实现其亚太战略的一种手段。美国的介入对中国南海主权权益的维护产生的负面影响是：危及中国战略安全利益,增加中国收回南海主权的难度,加剧了地区紧张局势。中国政府坚定地表达了维护国家领土主权的决心和意志,并采取了切实措施维护中国的领海主权;坚持“以邻为善,以邻为伴”的周边外交政策,加强与东盟的战略沟通和战略互信：有针对性地应对美国在南海地区的利益需求。     

The Natural Balance

In a tropical rainforest national park in Hainan Province, the macaques nimbly jump from branch to branch, and wild boars run amok while squir-rels and all kinds of birds happily frolic the day away.

Taihang Mountains:Magnificent Steep Canyons and Cliffside Roads

W ITH a minimum altitude of more than 1,200 meters above sea level,the moun-tain range is higher in the north and low-er in the south,with some peaks reach-ing more than 2,000 meters above sea level.To the east of the mountain range is the North China Plain,while the Loess Plateau is in the west,thus creating a large dichotomy between the terrain on both sides.In the western region,the mountains are connected to high plateaus having a rather even topography,with gradual inclines and declines in the terrain,while the eastern region of the range is connected with the central plains,making the terrain quite uneven with many steep cliffs.These various geographical features add to the beauty of the Taihang Mountains scenery that can be described with words like magnificent,unique,dangerous,and serene.

论中国陆地边境口岸的特点及发展方略

从类型来说,中国陆地边境口岸类型多元;从分布来说,北少南多、东密西疏、两头多中间少;从基本建设来说,中国边境口岸基础建设设施需要改善或提升;从功能上来说,北守南通、北货南人、东通西控;从规划和运行来说,受周边国家利益、国家政策影响至深;从建设现状来说,多数陆地边境口岸的基本建设需要提升;从效果来说,绝大多数口岸对中国边疆发展的辐射力不够;从负面影响来说,沿边境口岸的跨国犯罪、分裂恐怖活动难以避免。根据以上特点,本文提出:树立口岸通达与管控相结合的管理理念,落实通达与管控双管齐下的管理措施;改善或提升陆地边境口岸的基础建设工作;逐渐改变口岸重经贸轻文化交流的现状;通过边境口岸加强中国与周边国家边境经贸互补性;因地制宜地在口岸过于稠密处减少口岸数量、在口岸稀少区域增设口岸数量;与毗邻国家在保持国家领土和主权的前提下建立友好关系,为边境口岸良性发展奠定外部基础;连接陆地边境口岸与航空、水运口岸,建设“一带一路”六大经济走廊。

China and Egypt,Apart but Alike
