Expected to be fully operational before the end of the year, the port is estimated to generate 170,000 jobs and rake in revenues of about $201 billion to central and state governments through royalties, taxes and duties.展开更多

After defining the five types of capital and total capital, we analyze the dynamic changes of these types of capital in China and in other countries. The results show that since China＇ s reform and opening up, knowledge, international, human and physical capital have grown rapidly, with speeds of growth higher than that of economic growth. As the five types of capital have all increased at varying paces, the savings level of total capital in China has quadrupled in 25 years and overtook that of the USA in the 1990s. The changes in the five types of capital and total capital reveal that there are progressively multiple driving forces behind China＇ s rapid economic development. Implications for China＇s long-term economic development are thereby raised.展开更多

China＇s twin global outreach development paradigms, enunciated by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013 during his state visits to Kazakhstan and Indonesia, are up and running. Originally designed as a Eurasian transport network and integrated three-dimensional and interconnected system that is composed of railways, highways, aviation, navigation, oil and gas pipelines, transmission lines and communication networks from which industrial clusters would emerge, it has become a globally inclusive framework.展开更多

The first, second and third volumes of the book have already left a huge mark. The writings and speeches of the Chinese leader are fairly easy to understand, but underneath this simplicity is a complex web of thinking encompassing the dynamics of the laws of human development, historical contexts of the development process and theoretical basis to investigate the process.展开更多

文摘Based on economic growth theory and the World Bank＇s analytical framework relating to the quality of growth, the present paper constructs a framework that encompasses physical, international, human, natural and knowledge capital to synthetically interpret economic development.

In addition, this process unleashes outcomes that include a rise in national economic aggregates and more importantly, improved quality of living standards for citizens.
