China＇s participation in global economy can be described as fully utilizing domestic low-end production factors through foreign markets. This type of participation has been overdone. As China aims to engage in a second wave of economic globalization, the focus is to implement an in-depth globalization strategy under the condition of expanding domestic demands, namely and to develop the global economy based on domestic demands, The purpose is to achieve an economic rebalance with the world and help China out of its overcapacity predicament in weaker global economic climates. Moreover, it will bring China a chance to introduce foreign advanced factors to accelerate growth and develop innovation economy by turning economic crisis in the West into opportunities.展开更多

文摘Based on the theory of all-for-one tourism,a multi-scale analysis method is adopted to systematically evaluate red tourism resources.At the micro level,red tourism resources are analyzed from five evaluation dimensions:attention,supporting degree,accessibility,relevance,and differentiation;at the macro level,taking districts and counties as the basic units,indicators such as the quantity of red tourism resources in districts and counties,the number of red tourism resources at or above the provincial level,road network density and coverage density of red tourism resources,the average value of individual indicators in five dimensions within districts and counties,economic level,population,and fiscal expenditure are selected.Using entropy weight method,the weight coefficients of each indicator are calculated,and then the development potential of red tourism resources in Nanchang City is scientifically evaluated.At the individual scale,the most important indicators that affect development potential are attention,relevance,and supporting degree.At the global scale,the most important indicators that affect development potential are attention,differentiation,and relevance.The red tourism resources in Nanchang City with the highest comprehensive score are Mao Zedong Thought Victory Museum,Bayi Square,Fang Zhimin Patriotic Theme Education Exhibition Hall,Fang Zhimin Martyrs Cemetery,and Bayi Uprising Memorial Hall.The counties and districts with the highest comprehensive score are Donghu District,Xihu District,and Qingshanhu District.Among the red tourism resources in Nanchang City,only a small portion have a high level of development potential,while the development potential of most individuals and counties is at a moderate level.Moreover,individuals and counties adjacent to the city center generally show more significant development advantages.
文摘The study offers a conceptual framework illuminating sustainable rural development by a continuous cycling interplay among five interdependent systems,physical,social,economic,knowledge,and creative.The framework is applied to analyze the livelihood transition in the economic system and conversion of traditional knowledge in the creative system for farm households engaged in large cardamom cultivation in Northern mountainous region in Vietnam.This study used a probit model to examine a data set comprising 300 households and confirmed that factors within the social and physical systems(such as labor,access to information,social networks,land use,and transportation infrastructure)determined livelihood transition to tourism employment within the economic system.In addition,the conversion of traditional knowledge in the creative system was found to be contingent upon non-farm employment and credit capital in the economic system,as well as traditional knowledge and knowledge exchange in the knowledge system.This study demonstrates how the sustainable development of rural agriculture can be achieved by converting traditional knowledge and transferring livelihood,contributing to attain Sustainable Development Goals 2(Zero Hunger)and SDG 12(Responsible Consumption and Production).
文摘The“One Zone,Two Lands,One Park,and One Corridor”development strategy implemented in Guangxi,as a key component of China’s regional strategic deployment,provides opportunities and challenges for the development of local higher education.By comparing the strategic requirements,this paper uses the SWOT analysis method to conduct an in-depth analysis of the current status of higher education in Guangxi.The analysis results show that Guangxi’s higher education has certain advantages in geographical location but lacks educational resources.At the same time,the region’s higher education faces opportunities such as policy support and local industrial transformation and upgrading,but it also faces risks such as fierce external competition,mismatches between talent supply and demand,and financial constraints.Aiming at the above problems,this paper further proposes the Opportunity Capture Strategy,Adversity Breakthrough Strategy,Advantage Defense Strategy,and Disadvantage Resolution Strategy,aiming to solve the problems faced by regional higher education in serving the transformation of local development strategies.
