Trade in Liushun (Port Arthur) at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries

The history of the city of Port Arthur at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries in the literature is revealed primarily from the military point of view, which led to the emergence of numerous studies and works, while the role of the city as a commercial center has not received proper coverage either in Russian or Chinese historiography. The fact that contemporaries themselves perceived Port Arthur only as a military fortress also played an important role in this. This circumstance explains the fragmentary nature of the source base. The article reconstructs the history of trade in the city of Liushun during the Qing dynasty (until 1898) on the basis of archival materials, sources of personal origin and periodicals. The author concludes that the importance of Port Arthur as a temporary trading port was quite high before the foundation of Dalniy city. The construction of a military port in the 1880s stimulated the development of the city and promoted local Chinese trade. After Port Arthur was leased to the Russian Empire in 1898, the city became dominated by Russian capital. During the period of Russian rule, changes were made in the city's life that allowed Port Arthur to develop along Western lines and attracted immigrants and investment that further developed the city's industry and commerce. However, the purpose of such changes was to establish Port Arthur as a military stronghold of the Russian Empire in the Far East, which made the development of trade in the city unbalanced.

Issues in China's Alignment with DEPA Data Cross-Border Regulation

In the global digital governance game, the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA) features innovative designs for digital trade, aligning with China's goals of internal data sharing openness and external breaking of "rule locks". However, China currently exhibits significant legislative differences in the "Data Issues" section of DEPA's fourth module, adopting stricter regulatory measures for cross-border data flow and data localization. Addressing DEPA's "principle & exception" regulatory standards, this paper argues that legitimate public policy objectives can be aligned with DEPA through proportionality principles, WTO general exception clauses, etc. By innovating customs supervision methods and following the path of the Hainan Free Trade Port trial, connecting international trade new rules, orderly implementing law enforcement systems and supporting mechanisms to ensure data security and orderly flow, China can gradually align with DEPA.

Maritime Linkages between the Han Dynasty and Parthian Empire: Evidence from Unearthed Persian Pottery

This study describes a Persian pottery jug unearthed from Hepu, a well-known port for foreign trade in China during the Han Dynasty. The jug is the earliest and only Persian object dated to the Han Dynasty discovered in China. It thus serves as one of the most significant physical pieces of evidence for the investigation of trade between the Han Dynasty and Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even West Asia. This article takes the Persian jug as its starting point, and combines archaeological data from the same period unearthed from other port sites in Southeast Asia and South Asia, as well as Chinese and foreign historical documents, to recover the sea route via which the Persian jug moved from West Asia through South and Southeast Asia to Hepu, to confirm that the Han Dynasty had established indirect or direct maritime links with the Parthian Empire by the second century A.D. at the latest. This conclusion is supported with the discovery of glass and bronze cymbals from Western Asian and Mediterranean regions in Hepu and Panyu, the latter of which served as the largest foreign goods distribution center in the southern coastal area of China.

The impact of Covid-19 on the performance of seaports

The COVID-19 outbreak had a serious effect on the global economy, particularly the volume of port trade. This article was intended to fill an important gap noticeable in the existing studies, by specifically investigating the impacts of the economic landscape, severity of the outbreak, and governmental control measures on the import and export goods of eight seaports in Tunisia. To achieve this, we employed panel regression models, utilizing a time series dataset spanning from the first quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2022. Based on the attained results, the preventive measures and stringent governmental control index and the cumulative number of confirmed cases have negative impact on the imported and exported goods, though the exported goods has been rather severely affected by the spread pandemic. At the economic level, the industrial added value has been discovered to be significantly and positively correlated with the imported and exported cargos respective throughputs, while GDP turned out to be significantly and negatively correlated with imported and exported goods. Such findings, we reckon, could be of great help to the shipping companies, port operators as well as the governmental authorities to shift strategies and opt for appropriate measures likely to help in coping with any potential effects of similar crises.

Evaluation of Accountability in The Performance Report of The Batam Free Trade and Free Port Authority (bp Batam)

This research aims to analyze and evaluate the evaluation process of the Performance Accountability Report of the Batam Free Trade and Free Port Authority (BP Batam) based on results in 2022. This study focuses on evaluating the performance of BP Batam using qualitative research methods. Data collection is carried out through secondary data from planning documents and financial and performance reports of government agencies. Data analysis is conducted using techniques such as thematic analysis, grounded theory, or narrative analysis. The results of this research indicate that there are challenges in the performance planning of the BP Batam Government, such as inconsistencies between performance planning in documents such as RPJMD, RENSTRA SKPD, RKT, TAPKIN, and LAKIP, which are caused by a lack of coordination among various stakeholders and unexpected policy changes. The performance measurement process of BP Batam has not been optimally utilized for control and monitoring. BP Batam needs to establish good internal coordination among its units, implement an effective monitoring and evaluation system, and optimize its human resources to overcome challenges in the preparation of LAKIP. BP Batam can use the combination of the Performance Blueprint and Friedman's Four Quadrant Approach for measuring and managing organizational performance more effectively.

The Correlation Between Asian Port Cities and Traditional Portuguese Urban Forms Based on Map and Machine Learning Analyses

In the 16th and 17th centuries, under the influence of the Portuguese Empire’s overseas expansion and cultural integration, the island city of Macau became an important international trading port in the Eastern Sea, with close ties to the Asian port cities governed by Portugal. This study introduces a new method for comparing urban morphological layouts using machine learning and investigates the potential benefits of combining urban morphological analysis with machine learning techniques. In addition, a combination of urban morphology theory and machine learning is used to excise samples of urban morphology from Portuguese urban geographical information maps. The morphological characteristics of port city areas are further extracted, and training labels for typical Portuguese urban textures are established. Using the YOLOv4 object detection algorithm, the results are compared with the urban textures of typical island and port cities of the Asian Silk Road—Goa in India, Malacca in Malaysia, Macau in China, and Dili in Timor-Leste—revealing the similarities and differences among the port cities in Asia influenced by traditional Portuguese urban practices. The results reveal the relationship between maritime trade and urban form.
