Local entrepreneurialism provides an important theoretical perspective for the study of economic growth-oriented local governance after the 1980s. This theory originated in the revival of economic liberalism following the Western economic crisis. Influenced by global urbanization and deregulation, cities have been redefined as important scales of spatial governance. Local governments have abandoned "managerialism," which emphasizes regional equilibrium, and turned to "entrepreneurilism", which emphasizes local wealth accumulation, weakening the welfare state system and emphasizing absolute gain. Since the economic reform was launched in 1978, China has experienced a transition from state socialism, conceptualized as a triple process of decentralization, marketization, and globalization. The logic of local government behavior underwent profound changes during the transition. Local governments are increasingly showing behavioral characteristics that originally belonged to enterprises. These local governmental acts create the economic miracle and unique spatial phenomenon of the "Chinese paradigm," widely called "local entrepreneurialism." With the critical period of urbanization, exploring effective ways to improve local governance capabilities has become an important topic of concern for all sectors of society. Sorting out the rise and development of the theory about local entrepreneurialism, this paper seeks to construct an analysis framework for local entrepreneurialism in China by integrating the notions of strategy, discourse, and fashion. Furthermore, this paper proposes the "Chinese characteristics" of local entrepreneurialism by reviewing specific strategies adopted by local governments with multiple identities or acting as different roles, namely the owner of public (land) resources, the user of administrative resources, the urban manager, and the allocator of development rights. Therefore, the following conclusion were drawn: (1) Compared with the extensive participation in the Western system, China's local entrepreneurialism involves more administrative intervention, and all localities play a leading role in local entrepreneurial practice by virtue of their monopoly rights. (2) Although decentralization reform endows local governments with certain powers and responsibilities, state intervention still exists. The goal of an entrepreneurial strategy is to safeguard state powers. (3) In the new stage, the connotation and external form of local entrepreneurialism are expanding. Economic growth is no longer the primary theme of local development. How to pay attention to efficiency and fairness has become an important topic at present, and we argue that the sustainability of local entrepreneurial strategies and their impact on rural governance might be key research directions for future studies. This study aimed to provide a reference for the transformation of governance in this new era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the perspective of patent industry innovation chain, this paper analyzed the regional differences of the patent technology innovation efficiency and industrial technology innovation efficiency in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, as well as the spatial patterns and industrial characteristics of cities with various types of technological innovation efficiency. It is found that there are significant differences in patent and industrial technology innovation efficiency among the three urban agglomerations. The patent technology innovation efficiency in the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration is relatively high, while that in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations is relatively low. Cities with high industrial technological innovation efficiency show a continuous distribution around Beijing and Tianjin in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, a central periphery structure in the Yangtze River Delta, and a centripetal distribution in the Pearl River Delta. More than 50% of the listed high-tech enterprises in cities with high industrial technological innovation efficiency are strategic emerging industry enterprises. Most of the cities with low industrial technological innovation efficiency are located far away from the provincial capital cities and municipalities directly under the central government, and the number of listed high-tech enterprises in most cities is small. In view of the present situation of technological innovation efficiency of the three major urban agglomerations, this paper puts forward different innovation development strategies.

[Objective] In the background of the increasing trend of non-grain production in hilly and mountainous areas of China, it is of great practical significance to explore the mechanism of the farmland suitability for agricultural machinery operation (FSAM) on the mitigation of non-grain production and empirically measure its specific impact degree. [Methods] This paper constructed farmer’s production decision-making model, which based on profit maximization constraints, and derived the influence mechanism. This paper used the national agricultural mechanization survey data organized by the Agricultural Mechanization Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs from May to July 2020, measured the degree of FSAM from three perspectives of plot size, plot flatness and plot accessibility, to empirically measure the mitigation degree of FSAM to non-grain production in hilly and mountainous areas of China. [Results] It is found that: (1) Against the backdrop of rapidly rising labor costs, mature mechanization technology for grain crops, and lagging mechanization technology for non-grain crops, enhancing FSAM can effectively reduce the degree of non-grain farming among farmers. (2) The transmission path for reducing the degree of non-grain farming through improving FSAM is as follows: Enhanced FSAM lowers the price of agricultural machinery factors, prompting farmers to increase the level of agricultural mechanization for replacing labor with cheaper agricultural machinery factors. Given the immaturity of mechanization technology for non-grain crops, farmers opt to plant more grain crops, thereby reducing the degree of non-grain farming. (3) There exists scale heterogeneity in the impact of FSAM on non-grain farming, meaning that compared to small-scale farmers, the degree of farmland suitability for mechanization has a more significant impact on the degree of non-grain farming among large-scale farmers. [Conclusion] On the whole, the high degree of FSAM operations can effectively reduces the cost of agricultural machinery in grain production, promotes labor substitution and cost reduction in grain production, and helps to alleviate the problem of non-grain production in hill and mountain areas of China, and thus ensures food security.

Walnut is an important economic tree species and woody oil tree species in the world, which has great economic, social and ecological benefits. The development history and current situation of the walnut industry in the world and China in the past 60 years were summarized and analyzed in this paper from the two aspects of production and trade. The results indicated that the world walnut industry and trade showed a trend of continuous growth. Walnut production and cultivation area of China ranks first in the world, however, due to the weak international competitiveness of its related products, the growth rate of imports of walnut products was higher than that of exports, and the development potential of walnut industry in China needed to be further explored. This paper put forward improvement measures for walnut production, processing and sales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The imbalance in the acquisition and use of information and communication technol‐ ogies(ICTs) in cities has become a key problem restricting the construction of Digital China. Therefore, analyzing the differences and influencing factors of urban informatization level has become an important content of narrowing the digital divide. Using the information and commu‐ nication technology development index(IDI) defined by the International Telecommunication Union, this paper uses the location entropy method to measure the difference degree of informati‐ zation level of 275 cities in China since 2005, and then uses the spatial analysis and econometric methods to analyze their spatio-temporal differentiation pattern and influencing factors. It is found that:1)China's ICT Development Index Location Quotient(IDILQ)is still at a low level. Al‐ though the digital divide between regions tends to converge, there are still great differences among the east, middle and west regions. 2)From the perspective of temporal and spatial pat‐ tern, the IDILQ "H-H" agglomeration area has always been located in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta along the eastern coast, and the "L-L" agglomeration area has transferred from the western region to the central region. 3)Cities with high IDILQ have a "polarization ef‐ fect" on surrounding cities. However, the higher the proportion of young population, the higher the level of urbanization and the larger the proportion of employees in the information technolo‐ gy industry, the more conducive it is to improve the IDILQ and narrow the digital divide. In the transformation of digital revolution, we should guard against the adverse impact of information‐ ization on the construction of shrinking cities and aging cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the rapid advancement of China's urbanization, industrialization, and marketization, and the indepth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, the response of the territorial system of humanenvironment interaction in rural areas is intense, and the agricultural industry has shown a diversified development trend. Sorting and summarizing the existing research on domestic agricultural functions is important for promoting sustainable agricultural development in the new era, accelerating agricultural transformation and upgrading, and comprehensively revitalizing rural areas. Domestic scholars attach great importance to agricultural development and the services that the agricultural industry provides to society. Geographers have used their disciplinary advantages and have gradually integrated multidisciplinary theories and methods to conduct numerous studies on the conceptual connotations, theoretical bases, classification systems, measurements and evaluations, spatiotemporal processes, influencing factors, and optimization paths of agricultural functions. The academic circle has initially formed the geographical research paradigm of "theoretical basis-spatial patternevolution process-influence mechanism-optimal regulation." This study reviews the research progress of agricultural function in China from the perspective of geography and draws the following conclusions: 1) Based on the sorting of the definition of agricultural function in China, this paper defines agricultural function as the role or utility of agriculture, that is, the services and responsibilities that the whole agricultural industry chain renders to the whole society at different times and spaces, including providing products, solving employment problems, inheriting culture, maintaining social stability, and providing ecological services. Furthermore, it has comprehensive, cross-sectional, and regional characteristics. 2) The theoretical basis of agricultural function research includes the territorial system of human-environment interaction, agricultural multifunction, agricultural location, and agricultural function stage theories. Geographers can further improve and enrich relevant theories of agricultural functions through continuous research. 3) Considering the contribution and support of agricultural development to regional socioeconomic development and residents' lives, the researchers divided agricultural functions into product supply, economic development, social security, ecological maintenance, cultural leisure, and so on, and the spatial changes and regional characteristics of agricultural functions were further studied using GIS and RS technology and a geographic mathematical model. 4) The development of agricultural functions is affected by regional natural conditions, economic level, science, and technology. Scholars systematically integrate natural, social, economic, and other factors; scientifically diagnose each factor's mode, direction, and intensity of action in different geographical environments; and perform functional zoning and optimization based on the regional geographical environment and main influencing factors, thus promoting the transformation and development of agricultural functions toward specialization and diversification. 5) Based on summarizing the achievements of agricultural function research conducted by domestic scholars, the shortcomings of existing research in fundamental theory, method and data innovation, scale correlation, and multidisciplinary integration are discussed, and the need to improve the theoretical framework system of research in the future to promote multi-factor, multi-scale, and multi-objective systematic research is proposed. In addition, it is necessary to focus on the transforming of agricultural functions, and strengthening the integration of multidisciplinary, big data and new technological means.

As the connection point between sea and land, coastal ports are constantly extending and innovating logistical operations, which paves the way for rapid development of the coastal port logistics industry. In recent years, with increasing economic globalization and the development of production and trade networks in various countries, integrated logistics services have steadily replaced the conventional loading and unloading services provided by ports. These services now play a significant part in the worldwide network of cargo commerce. The primary function of port logistics firms, as a significant provider of port logistics activities, is the cross-regional organization of these activities. The earliest version of the port logistics network may be seen in the concentration of port logistics businesses inside the city and their dispersion between cities. Nevertheless, there is still a dearth of studies on the coastal port logistics organization network. At the same time, there is notable variation in the infrastructure of coastal ports and coastal cities' economic development, with fierce competition between domestic and provincial ports. To evaluate the evolution of the geographical features of China's port logistics network from 2009 to 2019, this paper utilizes world city network analysis and social network theory analysis, using the years 2009, 2014, and 2019 as time nodes. This paper aims to serve as a guide for improving the physical architecture and network design of Chinese coastal port logistics, to further advance the effective arrangement and configuration of social resources in the port logistics sector, and to offer a more favorable environment for the sector's development. The findings indicate that: 1) from 2009 to 2019, China's coastal ports' logistics network structures tended to mature. The network's geographic area was increased with the installation of additional city nodes, which also reduced the typical distance between cities and enhanced connectivity. However, from the perspective of network development as a whole, the overall network density was low, and the majority of cities still experienced weak connections. 2) The network connection space upholds the core-edge structure, in which Tianjin, Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shenzhen, and Xiamen radiate from Shanghai to form the core network, whereas the marginal cities primarily join the network by connecting to the core city, and the interaction between the marginal cities is weak. 3) The coastal port logistics network's hierarchical structure is clear. The core-subcore-general-edge four-level circle layer structure is presented in accordance with the different urban statuses in the network and the intensity of inter-circle connection steadily declines with the drop in circle level. 4) Balanced development of information basis level has a negative impact on the development of the port logistics network. However, differentiated development of coastal port logistics market scale, port infrastructure, urban economic development level, and headquarters scale of port logistics enterprises has a positive impact on development.

This paper examines the notions, politics, and practice of care that have characterised the transnational Chinese state during the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing on policy and media analyses, participant observation, and qualitative interviews with 21 Chinese people in the Netherlands, the paper maps out three care circuits: from the diaspora to China, from China to the diaspora, and from China to the world. The findings show how the pandemic has offered a stage for emotional ties, patriotism, and moral responsibility to be played out, cultivated, and contested. These in turn have an impact on the economic and political agendas of the transnational Chinese state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper compares and discusses human trafficking from the perspective of state governance in these two countries; the five different aspect of strategies, laws and regulations, working institutions, police systems, and victim rescue and resettlement are examined. The strengths and weaknesses of the two countries in tackling human trafficking are also compared in this study. National strategies for human trafficking governance in China and the United States are formulated under the framework of "people-oriented, coordinated prevention, legal crackdown, active assistance, and proper resettlement". China is more concerned with combating the domestic trafficking of women and children, whereas the United States focuses on the governance of commercial, transnational human trafficking. China's governance is characterized by top-down management and bottom-up autonomy. Once strategies, laws, and regulations are formed, they can be quickly implemented across the entire country. In the United States, the federal government and state governments are cooperative rather than subordinate, and the separation of powers and two-party political system are other issues that indicate the need for further investigations regarding the national implementation and linkage of the governance of human trafficking. This paper concludes with several recommendations on how China should respond to and combat human trafficking crime, including escalating the implementation of China's Action Plan against Human Trafficking (2021-2030) and taking specific actions based on local conditions; enhancing the connection with the national laws and absorption from them and continuing to promote special legislations targeting human trafficking crimes; attaching greater importance to social construction and govemance of transnational human trafficking through strengthening international cooperation; refining anti-trafficking work organizations and setting up specialized working groups, special funds and smoother channels for suggestions; constructing and perfecting China's "Reunion System" supporting system.

The ports of entry system is the spatial distribution and combination of a series of ports of different sizes and functions within a certain geographical area. Based on the data of port opening years from 1979-2019, this paper adopted Bai-Perron structural breakpoint test and Markov chain quantification to quantitatively divide the evolution stages of China's ports of entry system since the reform and opening-up, and analyzed the opening characteristics of each stage of the ports of entry system by considering the port opening time, type and policy factors. The results show that :(1) considering the spatio-temporal attributes of the opening of the ports of entry system, the Bai-Perron structural breakpoint test is used to identify five structural break‐ points in the evolution of the Chinese ports of entry system since the reform and opening-up, and the evolution process is further modified into five evolutionary stages by using the spatial changes of Markov chain transfer states. (2) Markov chain transfer matrix shows that the opening lev‐ el of China's ports of entry system has fluctuated and increased since the reform and opening-up, and there is a significant convergence club in space, and the spatial pattern of the centralized opening is further strengthened. (3)Since the reform and opening-up, the evolution of China's ports of entry system has been characterized by significant openness in stages and has gone through five stages: "point-like opening along the coast, T-shaped opening along the coast, Tshaped opening along the river, belt-like opening of inland and border ports, full opening of airports, and all-round Multi-level and three-dimensional opening-up".

Based on the trade data between China and other G20 countries from 2001 to 2019, this paper analyzed the evolution of bilateral trade pattern, analyzed the interdependence of bilat‐ eral trade by using trade intensity index and HM index, and analyzed the trade decoupling situa‐ tion between China and other G20 countries by using decoupling model and catch-up decoupling model. The results show that: (1) China and other G20 countries show asymmetric trade interde‐ pendence. China's trade intensity with other G20 countries is greater than that with China, while other G20 countries are more dependent on China's market;(2) The trade decoupling relationship between China and other G20 countries has changed from weak negative decoupling to expansionary negative decoupling. The trade sensitivity has decreased first and then increased. It has experienced four evolution stages: weak negative decoupling, expansionary negative decoupling, relative decoupling I and expansionary negative decoupling;(3) The United States and South Korea have achieved absolute catch-up with Japan, and most countries have achieved relative catch-up with Japan and Saudi Arabia. China's economic and trade relations with other G20 countries tend to be negatively decoupled for a long time. The "relative decoupling" of China's economic and trade relations with other G20 countries exists objectively, but it will not be "fully decoupled". China should deepen cooperation in low sensitivity areas with trade decoupled countries, tap the potential of cooperation with trade connected countries, and actively build a "decoupled discourse system" with "adjustment of interaction and dependence" as the core.

The phenomenon of urban growth and shrinkage coexist in China's rapid urbanization process, and urban shrinkage in the old industrial bases is a long-time disturbing problem. Based on the population and economic changes in cities of China's old industrial bases from 2009 to 2018, this paper analyzed the status and types of urban shrinkage and explored its influence mechanism. Results show that: (1) In general, the type of urban shrinkage of the old industrial base cities are mainly economic shrinkage, the type of population-economic shrinkage comes second, and pure population shrinkage is relatively few. The economic shrinkage and population-economic shrinkage cities mostly show the continuous spatial distribution, the population shrinkage type show the "dot" distribution features. (2) The shrinkage path goes as that economic decline precedes population loss in most old industrial base cities, and in few old industrial base cities, population loss led to economic decline. The cities in line with the former transformation path are mainly in central provinces and northeastern regions of China, while the cities in line with the latter transformation path are mainly in the northeast old industrial base. (3) The analysis of the influencing factors of old industrial base cities shows that birth rate, employment structure, industrial structure, opening-up policy, investment in science and technology affect the growth and shrinkage of urban population and economy in different directions and degrees.

Plants of the lycophyte genus Phlegmariurus contain the chemical compound Huperzine A, the effective medicinal component treating Alzheimer’s disease, thus with huge economic value. To protect the natural resources, plants of the whole genus are listed as the National Key Protected Wild plants in China. In this paper, we revised the taxonomy of Phlegmariurus distributed in China based on morphological, ecological, and geographical evidence. We recognized 21 species from China, and organized them into four sections. Sect. Fargesiani X. C. Zhang ＆ R. H. Jiang is newly established, and the other three sections were revised based on previous studies, i.e., Sect. Hamiltoniani C. Y. Yang, emend. X. C. Zhang ＆ R. H. Jiang; Sect. Phlegmariurus; and Sect. Squarrosurus（Herter） X. C. Zhang ＆ R. H. Jiang, comb. ＆ stat. nov. We reduced the following taxon names to synonymies of various species of Phlegmariurus: Huperzia medogensis, Phlegmariurus austrosinicus, P. changii, P. nylamensis, P. cancellatus var. minor, P. qiongzhongensis, and P. shangsiensis.

As the gateway of China's opening to the outside world, port forms a gateway-city system with hierarchical and functional division through interaction with carrier cities. Based on the port data of 2001 and 2018, this paper measures the gateway function changes of port cities by transforming the urban flow model, so as to reveal the evolution characteristics and laws of China 's gateway system since the 21st century. The research shows that: (1) Since the start of new century, the external service level of gateway-city has significantly improved, the external service function and value of passenger transport and freight have increased by 4 and 8 times compared with those in 2001. But the external service value of freight is less than that of passen‐ ger transport. Although passenger transport and freight are gradually decreasing in the whole country, the decline of freight in East China has been steeper than the other three regions. There are also significant regional and urban differences in external passenger and freight services in different transport sectors. (2) China's gateway-city property indexes have formed a regional evolution pattern of eastern leading, central and western strengthening and northeast weakening. Using the Dagum Gini coefficient method found that the regional spatial gap of gateway proper‐ ty has been reduced, and the main source for the spatial differentiation of gateway function in China is the disparity among regions. (3) All gateway cities can be divided into four grades: na‐ tional gateway cities, regional gateway cities, provincial gateway cities and local gateway cities, the hierarchical structure of China gateway-city shows a stable 'pyramid' shape.
