Khunjerab Pass

In addition, several thousand P.L.A. troops are said to be stationed in the Khunjerab Pass on the Xinjiang border to protect Karakoram Highway construction crews, with ready access to Gilgit-Baltistan.

2010 September 8, Selig S. Harrison, “China's Presence in Pakistan”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2015-09-23, Opinion:

The Karakoram Highway, which links China and Pakistan over the 15,400-foot Khunjerab Pass, winds through some spectacular gorges along the route of the old Silk Road. The international "Friendship Highway," which isn't even paved on the Pakistani side, is so unstable and prone to flash floods that almost 900 workers died during its construction, mostly crushed by landslides.

2013 October 15, “World's most dangerous roads”, in USA Today, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2013-11-10:

On the Chinese side we drove up the 4,700-meter-high Khunjerab Pass from Kashgar - which was like driving through the Black Forest to Lake Titisee. At the border station the road ended abruptly, cut off like a piece of cake, before continuing a good meter lower down. The comfortable, tarred road suddenly became a dangerous, rough, rubble-strewn one.

A mountain pass that connects Xinjiang region of China with Northern Areas of Pakistan. It is the highest point on Karakoram Highway, at an altitude of 4,693 metres (15,397 feet), which makes it the highest paved international border crossing in the world.

PRD

Given our geographical location and cultural ties, we have a special relationship with Guangdong Province, particularly the PRD.[…]We should make the PRD the economic hinterland supporting development in the rest of the country. In turn, the PRD can use Hong Kong's strengths to elevate its status and competitiveness to become a global player.

2003 January 8, “III. Expediting Economic Integration with the PRD”, in South China Morning Post, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-08-20:

There’s no doubt that the core of Pan-PRD cooperation is the integration between Hong Kong and the PRD. The PRD has always been Hong Kong's major partner in economic development. Twenty years ago, Hong Kong manufacturers began migrating across the border, thereby turning the PRD into a regional factory of consumer goods for the world market. Now, over 70 percent of the investments in the PRD come from Hong Kong, and 10 million workers in that region work for Hong Kong capitalized enterprises. And we have 230,000 Hong Kong citizens working immediately north of the border.

Manchuria

/mænˈt͡ʃʊəɹiə/

Probably originally a backformation from Manchurian (“of or relating to the Manchus”), from Dutch Mansiourische, from Mansiouwer (“a Manchu”) + -isch (“-ish: forming adjectives”), possibly as a calque of Japanese 満州 (まんしゅう, Manshū, “Manchuria; Manchurian”). Equivalent to New Latin and English Manchu + -ia, with the r added for ease of pronunciation under the influence of names like Etruria, Liguria, &c. Cf. French Mandchourie, German Mandschurei, &c. Further popularized by Philipp von Siebold's early-19th-century Dutch translations of Japanese maps employing the term, replacing the earlier and vaguer Tartary, Eastern Tartary, Chinese Tartary, &c.

Negotiating with Stalin was like dealing with an octopus. At Yalta it had been agreed that Dairen in China would be an open port that the Chinese could use. And now they were trying- it'd be under the control of the Chinese, that the Russians could use is what I intended to say. And, it was now an approach, by Stalin, that would have given him complete possession of that part of Manchuria. And that, I wasn't in favor of doing.[...]Dairen would be administered by the Chinese, as a Chinese port, but it would be a free port that everybody could use including the Russians.

Little Bucharia is separated, on the north, by the chain of the Celestial Mountains, from Dzungaria, which is inhabited by nomade Calmucks, and is terminated on the north by Siberia.

1829 April, “Dictionary of Tibetan Language”, in The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register for British India and Its Dependencies, volume 27, number 160, →OCLC, page 432:

No traditional Chinese dynasty ever governed the whole of Dzungaria. None was capable of or interested in doing so, but the rich oases of the Tarim basin frequently came under imperial control.² Dzungaria was first united with China in the Mongol empire, but it was not until the Manchu or Ch'ing dynasty (1644-1911) that Peking developed a positive policy toward this vast area of mountains, steppe, and desert.

1966, George Moseley, A Sino-Soviet Cultural Frontier: the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Chou, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, →OCLC, pages 3–4:

An oil field was discovered at Karamai in 1955, the first of a number to be found in Dzungaria. This oil find has greatly helped China’s industrial development, and the oil fields are now linked to Lanchow by pipeline and by rail. Large refineries have been built at Lanchow and at Tushantzu in Dzungaria.

1971, Robert Clayton, “Sinkiang”, in China (Finding Out About GEOGRAPHY), New York: John Day Company, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 12, column 1:

We drove from the Ili valley through the whole of Dzungaria, took the train out of Sinkiang, and continued down the Kansu corridor by car all the way to the Shensi border.

1979, Jan Myrdal, translated by Ann Hening, The Silk Road: A Journey from the High Pamirs and Ili through Sinkiang and Kansu, New York: Pantheon Books, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 3:

Xinjiang is China’s biggest administrative division, sprawling across 1.6 million square kilometers of some of the world’s harshest terrain. It consists of the Tarim basin, covered by the world’s second largest sand desert, and Dzungaria, an area of mixed desert, steppe, and forest.[…]
Today the region’s ethnic minority population is dominated by Muslim Turkic peoples, Uyghurs in the Tarim basin and Kazakhs in Dzungaria; hence the region was once called “Chinese Turkestan” and seen as culturally part of Central Asia.

The extant scholarship on Sinophone Thai literature attributes the uniqueness of such works as Stormy Yaowarat Road to three aspects of their evocation of Teochew: their use of the Chaoyang-Swatow (Chaoshan) dialect of Teochew (particularly in the spoken dialogues of the text), their depiction of specific Teochew cultural practices like the regions' unique opera (ngiu) and tea ceremony (gongfu cha), and their emphasis on Teochew cultural and linguistic cultivation and preservation-an emphasis woven into the theme of the narratives.

YRD

A comparison between the PRD and the YRD shows big similarities, with one city being the clear leader in both cases, although this is not without problems. For Hong Kong serious challenges come from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, while for Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing are competing, but also the famous cities Wuxi and Suzhou in between Nanjing and Shanghai are important competitors. However, Nanjing also wants to be an independent regional capital, while at the same time Nanjing is becoming more and more part of the YRD and faces competition and complementarity with Shanghai and the cities emerging between Nanjing and Shanghai.

2006, Meine Pieter van Dijk, “Competition Based on Successful Urban Management: Pearl River Delta Versus the Yangtze River Delta”, in Managing Cities in Developing Countries: The Theory and Practice of Urban Management, Edward Elgar Publishing, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 183:

Hangzhou is part of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), an engine of growth during China’s boom years but now the source of a third of non-performing loans in the country.[…]
Steel and textile manufacturers in Xiaoshan, like other private firms around the YRD, sought to overcome such obstacles by providing loan guarantees for each other to gain bank credit.

2014 April 27, Gabriel Wildau, Koh Gui Qing, Shanghai Newsroom, “In wealthy Chinese city, debt guarantees spark default contagion”, in John Mair, editor, Reuters, archived from the original on 2023-04-22, Business News:

Economic transition and upgrading is directly related to the characteristics of national development strategy. Therefore, to promote economic transition and upgrading effectively, to avoid falling into the middle-income trap, and to switch the driving force of development successfully, the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region must change its development strategy from the “late-developing advantage” one into a “first mover advantage” one.[…]Under the condition of insufficient investment, high administrative barriers, and inadequate globalization of service industry, the YRD region should pay as much attention to the development of the service industry as it did in the industrialization before to take lead in changing the development mode of service industry.

Governments in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) have promised to give market forces free rein in building infrastructure and creating unified public service platforms as the mainland’s most affluent region seeks to develop in synergy under Beijing’s directions.
Authorities in Shanghai and the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui – which together make up the YRD area – are inviting construction companies, institutional investors, research institutes and consultancies to play a dominant role in developing the so-called demonstration zone, essentially a pilot zone that forms a key part of the YRD integration initiative.

Ordos

Genghis Khan
Loess Plateau
Ordos
Yuan dynasty

From Classical Mongolian ᠣᠷᠳᠣᠰ (ordos, “palaces”), from Classical Mongolian ᠣᠷᠳᠣ (ordo, “palace”) + ᠊ᠰ (-s, plural suffix); probably from Proto-Turkic *or- (“army, place of staying of the army, ruler etc.”). Originally in reference to the portable mausoleums of Genghis Khan (known as the "eight white yurts"), which were used following the fall of the Yuan dynasty in 1368. These were entrusted to caretakers, who worshipped at the mausoleums as the "soul guards" of the khan, and who moved to the Ordos plateau in the years following. After a time, both the people and their territory took the name, due to the presence of the mausoleums there.

der

The Chinese Moslems, who constitute the largest minority, number about 700,000. They are organized in two autonomous chou and three autonomous hsien. The Wuchung Moslem Autonomous Chou, situated east of the Yellow River in former Ningsia Province, was called the Hotung (“east of the river”) chou until April, 1955, when it was renamed for its capital. The Wuchung chou has a population of 230,000, 62 per cent of whom are Moslems. The Wuchung chou includes the east-bank section of the Ningsia irrigated plain, adjoins the Ordos desert and passes southeastward into the loesslands. The autonomous chou was set up in April, 1954.

1956, Theodore Shabad, China's Changing Map: A Political and Economic Geography of the Chinese People's Republic, New York: Frederick A. Praeger, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL, page 246:

The river, which is some 3,028 miles long and has a catchment basin of 250,000 sq. miles, rises in the Bayan Kara Shan (15,000 ft) of north-east Tibet and flows as a mountain torrent above Lanchow. Between Lanchow and Wuchung in Ningsia it descends on to the Inner Mongolian plateau and is less torrential although still of considerable strength. At Wuchung it starts on its northward course, known as the Great Bend, across the Ordos Desert.

1970, T. R. Tregear, An Economic Geography of China, Butterworths, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 60:

A region of China, enclosed by the great northern bend of the Yellow River and the Wei River to the south; also called Ordos Loop.


Siyi

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation for 四邑 (Sìyì).

Aside from these two deltas, other densely-populated areas are the southern Mu-ming Plain in western Kwangtung and Ssu-i (including Hsin-hui, Kai-ping, Tai-shan, and En-ping) where the population density per square kilometer averages 300.

[1956, Jen-ts'ai (梁仁采) Liang, 广东经济地理 [Economic Geography of Kwangtung], Peiping, →OCLC, pages 15–16:

People in the Ssu-i (the four counties — T'ai-shan, K'ai-p'ing, Hsin-hui, En-p'ing), for example, though not far from Canton, have their own distinct dialect, which is scarcely intelligible to an ordinary Cantonese.

[1969, Ezra Vogel, Canton under Communism: Programs and Politics in a Provincial Capital 1949-1968, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 24:

Report by village enumerates death and property losses in the Siyi region resulting from the Japanese invasion which began on 3 March 1941.

1986, Him Mark Lai, A History Reclaimed: An Annotated Bibliography of Chinese Language Materials on the Chinese of America, University of California, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 4:

Experts say up to 80 percent of the Chinese in North America came from the so called “Say-yat” region in the Pearl River Delta -- a group of four districts including Kaiping and Taishan.

HRD

Spatial differentiation and dynamic changes in micro-geomorphology were studied based on acoustic data interpretation from a wide range (3 200 km2) of the Huanghe (Yellow) River delta (HRD).[…]There were seven typical micro-geomorphologic features in the shallow and surface areas of the HRD, including buried ancient channels, stratigraphic disturbances, scour troughs, sand waves, pits, erosional remnants, and sand spots.[…]From the perspective of acoustic profile interpretations, the scale, range, and spatial locations of the micro-geomorphology in the HRD revealed seasonal variation characteristics, and the spatial distributions displayed significant regional differentiation characteristics.
