Huang & X.-D. Yang leg.; 1 ♂ (CZZH), Dali Bai Autonomous Region, Yunlong County, Tianchi, 20.V. 2014, Z.-H. Zheng leg.; 1 ♂, 1 ♀ (CHSJ), Kunming, IV. 2014, S.-J. Hu leg.. Sichuan province: 1 ♀ (CHH, dissected), Liangshan Yi Autonomous Region, Muli County, Liziping, 2700m, 5.V. 2014, X.-D. Yang leg.. Remarks. The female holotype was collected from Yulongxueshan whilst the male paratypes were collected from Ludian, thus the association of male and female requires a confirmation from more material. In a recent expedition made by the first author, specimens of both sexes were collected from both localities. An examination of male and female genitalia proved the original association of male and female to be correct. Distribution. Yunnan (Lijiang, Kunming, Yunlong), Sichuan (Muli).Published as part of Huang, Hao & Zhu, Jian-Qing, 2016, Ahlbergia maoweiweii sp. n. from Shaanxi, China with revisional notes on similar species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), pp. 409-433 in Zootaxa 4114 (4) on page 431, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4114.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/27160

The voltage source behavior of GFM converters can provide voltage support for the power grid, and therefore enhance the power grid (voltage) strength. However, grid-following (GFL) converters can also perform constant AC voltage magnitude control by properly regulating their reactive current, which may also behave like a voltage source. Currently, it still remains unclear what are the essential differences between the voltage source behaviors of GFL and GFM converters, and which type of voltage source behavior can enhance the power grid strength. In this paper, we will demonstrate that only GFM converters can provide effective voltage source behavior and enhance the power grid strength in terms of small signal dynamics. Based on our analysis, we further study the problem of how to configure GFM converters in the grid and how many GFM converters we will need. We investigate how the capacity ratio between GFM and GFL converters affects the equivalent power grid strength and thus the small signal stability of the system. We give guidelines on how to choose this ratio to achieve a desired stability margin. We validate our analysis using high-fidelity simulations.This work was jointly supported by the National Key Research and Development Program (2023YFB2406600) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. U2166204 and No. 51922094).

When Top-Down Meets Bottom-Up: Local Adoption of Social Policy Reform in China
No full textAuthoritarian local leaders face two driving forces in social policy making: top-down pressures from the regime and bottom-up motivations derived from local conditions. Existing studies recognize the importance of both forces but remain unclear as to how they interact and which of them is more influential in driving local policy adoption. Focusing on two health insurance integration policies in China, we find that when the policy is political (i.e., entailing substantial class conflicts and bureaucratic friction), top-down pressure for compliance is a dominant driver for local adoption of social policy reform. When the policy is less political, bottom-up motivations based on local economic geography together with top-down pressure drive local adoption. We find support for this argument from an analysis of an original city-level dataset on social health insurance in China from 2004 to 2016. This study has implications for distributive politics, decentralization and government responsiveness in authoritarian countries.Peer reviewe
Does social insurance enrollment improve citizen assessment of local government performance? Evidence from China
No full textAlthough many studies claim that social policies are “carrots” that authoritarian leaders use to garner public support, the assumption that social benefits can boost public support of government has been rarely tested empirically, especially at the local levels. This article investigates the effects of social insurance enrollment on citizens' assessment of local government performance using data from the 2010 China Family Panel Study. We use propensity score matching to reduce selection bias and ordered probit regressions with fixed effects to examine these possible effects. We find that social insurance enrollment had a significant positive effect on rural citizens' assessment of government performance, but this effect did not exist for their urban and migrant peers. This discrepancy could be largely due to the groups' different expectations for government redistribution and their distinct experiences of China's social welfare reform. We conclude that the Chinese authoritarian government has achieved partial success in its attempt to use socialpolicies to maintain popular support.Peer reviewe
Impact of urban-rural health insurance integration on health care: evidence from rural China
No full textIn recent years, Chinese local governments have experimented with integrating the social health insurance system segmented between rural and urban areas to unify the administration, policy, and funds of various health insurance programs. In this study, we take advantage of the staggered implementation of the urban-rural health insurance integration across cities over time to examine the impacts of the integration on rural residents’ health care utilization and health outcomes. Based on an original city-year level policy dataset and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) for the years 2011, 2013, and 2015, we find that the integration significantly increases the middle-aged and older rural residents’ inpatient care utilization and this positive effect is particularly salient in poor areas. Moreover, we find that the positive policy effect of integration is attributed to enhanced health insurance benefits, such as a higher reimbursement rate for inpatient care. However, the integration has limited impacts on the middle-aged and older rural residents’ health outcomes. This study reveals the partial success of urban-rural health insurance integration to reduce health care inequality in China.Please replace the old version using this updated one.Peer reviewe
Alleviating poverty or discontent: impact of social assistance on Chinese citizens’ views of government
No full textThis study provides one of the first empirical tests on the political impact of China’s anti-poverty cash transfer program: Dibao. Using the China Family Panel Study 2010 dataset and a propensity score matching method, we examined whether and how much the Dibao benefits have impacted recipients’ assessment of local government performance. To explore the heterogeneity effect of Dibao, we conducted the analysis in urban and rural samples respectively. Results show that receiving the Dibao benefit had a significant and positive impact on citizens’ assessment of local government in China. Nonetheless, the subsample results suggest that the positive and significant impact of Dibao benefits might be driven mainly by the rural sample. Overall, it implies that China’s Dibao policy has achieved a mixed success in alleviating discontent and boosting popular support for the government.Peer reviewe
