Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) sinogalbina nom. n., a replacement name for Thienemannimyia galbina Cheng & Wang, 2009
Full text linkThe recent transfer of Hayesomyia galbina Cheng & Wang, 2006 to Thienemannimyia (Hayesomyia) created a homonymy with Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) galbina Cheng & Wang, 2009. Thienemannimyia (Hayesomyia) galbina (Cheng & Wang, 2006) has priority and Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) sinogalbina nom. n. is proposed as a new replacement for the junior secondary homonymy Thienemannimyia (Thienemannimyia) galbina Cheng & Wang, 2009

No full textGansuceratoikiscum Wang, Cheng & Zhang, 2010 Gansuceratoikiscum Wang, Cheng & Zhang, 2010: 48. TYPE SPECIES. — Gansuceratoikiscum guanzhuangensis Wang, Cheng & Zhang, 2010 (Wang et al. 2010: 473, pl. 1, fig. 11). AGE AND LOCATION OF TYPE MATERIAL. — Sandbian, Upper Ordovician, Pingliang Formation, Gansu Province, China. TAXON CODE. — 015. STATUS. — Valid. DIAGNOSIS. — “Six rod-like primary spines positioned in eccentric place. The pairs of caveal ribs are paired on the dorsal rod of the a-rod; The patagial tissue is present on one lateral side of the i-rod. A single row of arches (or by-spines) connect the primary spines, forming a simple cortical shell.”(Wang et al. 2010: 48). REMARKS This genus differs from Protoceratoikiscum in that it has a framework composed of 6 rods connecting to a median bar. Ceratoikisum has 3 rods (a, b, intersector) that cross to form a triangle. It differs from Protoceratoikiscum in that it possesses row of arches that connect the primary rods to form a subcircular shell, and the rods join in an eccentric position in Gansuceratoikiscum.Published as part of Noble, Paula, Aitchison, Jonathan C., Danelian, Taniel, Dumitrica, Paulian, Maletz, Jörg, Suzuki, Noritoshi, Cuvelier, Jessie, Caridroit, Martial & O'Dogherty, Luis, 2017, Taxonomy of Paleozoic radiolarian genera, pp. 419-502 in Geodiversitas 39 (3) on page 424, DOI: 10.5252/g2017n3a4, http://zenodo.org/record/520658

Median volsella 25–45 µm long, 28–30 µm wide. HR 0.85–1.20. HV 2.15–2.91. Diganosis This new species differs from other known species of the genus by the unique body coloration. Antennal dimorphism is present, a condition previously found in a Chinese species of Trissopelopia (Cheng and Wang 2005) and a Nearctic species of Oliveridia (Oliver 1983). As in the female, the shape of the dorsomedial eye extension in specimens with femalelike antennae is noticeably broader. The present new species is similar to H. trina sp. n. in having antennal dimorphism, but its wing has one marking (Fig. 17), whereas the wing of H. trina sp. n. has three distinct pigmented areas (Fig. 30). In addition, the present new species differs from H. trina sp. n. by its overall yellowish body color.Published as part of Cheng, Ming & Wang, Xinhua, 2006, Review of Hayesomyia Murray & Fittkau (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae) from China, pp. 35-59 in Zootaxa 1147 on pages 43-45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17209
Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry
Abolition of Extraterritoriality in China and Wang Cheng-T'ing
Full text linkThis paper aimed to demonstrate Wang Cheng-Tʼ ingʼs diplomatic attitude towards abolition of extraterritoriality. As a result, I indicated that he called for abolition of extraterritoriality in principle, and left the way open for settlement of the question on the basis of gradualism, that the extraterritoriality in China was not only
a judicial and political problem but also an economic problem to Wang Cheng-Tʼ ing.Though Wang Cheng-Tʼ ing, who considered speedy abolition of extraterritoriality, he might not claim an immediate and total abolition of extraterritoriality. His tactics was a gradual and progressive abolition of extraterritoriality. So we could characterized Wang Cheng-Tʼ ingʼs diplomacy as gradualism.departmental bulletin pape
