BUILDING_THE_BRIDGE
O n October 17 and 18, 2023, the 3rd Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation was held in Beijing, China. H.E. Mr. Srettha Thavisin, PrimeMinister of the Kingdomof Thailand, attended and engaged in discussionswith representatives from Chinese enterprises on bilateral investment and cooperation. On social media, he posted a doodle of a map of the proposed Land Bridge project in southern Thailand and commentedon the encouraging resultsof his communication with representatives from Chinese railway enterprises.On November 3, Srettha Thavisin met Chinese Ambassador to ThailandHan Zhiqiang and stressed Thailand’s enthusiasm about cooperating with China to fund and build the Land Bridge. Srettha Thavisin pledged to authorize the Ministry of Transport and Board of Investment (BOI) to negotiate with the Chinese government on specific investment means and other cooperation details of the project.Snowballing attentionon the project has ensured the bridge becomes a major component of China-Thailand connectivity cooperation. Canal or BridgeThe Land Bridge projectis located on the Isthmus ofKra, the narrow neck of theMalay Peninsula. The isthmusseparates the Gulf of Thailandto the east from the AndamanSea to the west and is only56 kilometers wide at itsnarrowest point.The area was an importantroute for the Maritime SilkRoad as early as in the HanDynasty (206 BC-AD 220).According to the Treatiseon Geography in the Book ofHan, the official dynastichistory of the Han Dynasty,the ancient Chenli Kingdomand Fugandulu Kingdom weresituated on the eastern andwestern sides of the MalayPeninsula, respectively, andpeople had to walk for morethan ten days to travel betweenthe two locations.The geographical dividemade maritime transportationbetween the two areas quiteinconvenient because shipshad to circumnavigate thepeninsula and cross the Straitof Malacca to shuttle back andforth, which contributed to thedevelopment of Singapore.Many leaders of Thailandhave sought to connect the twosides and develop the area intoa shipping, trade, and financialhub of Southeast Asia. As earlyas in the Ayutthaya Kingdom(1351-1767), nobles attempted todig a canal across the Isthmusof Kra to connect the PacificOcean and the Indian Ocean.Before the 20th Century,British and French colonizersrepeatedly proposed to theroyal family of the Chakridynasty that they could dig acanal in the area. In the 21stCentury, canal plans havecontinued to regularly featurein the planning of the Thaigovernment.However, the canal has stillnever passed the conceptualstage despite hundreds of yearsof discussion and planning,which could be attributed tothree specific factors.First, economic factors.A canal would help cut thetravel time between the twomajor oceans by two to fivedays by eliminating 900 to1,200 kilometers, but thatadvantage would be dwarfedby the performance of majorglobal canals. For example,the Panama Canal shortensvoyages by over 8,200kilometers, and the Suez Canalreduces journeys by morethan 10,000 nautical miles.Therefore, the appeal of a canalin the Isthmus of Kra wouldbe fairly limited, and it wouldlikely take much longer for theeconomic benefits to cover themassive construction costs.Second is the environment.The canal would bring notonly many ships but alsotheir pollution, whichcould be detrimental to thelocal tourism industry andecosystem of the beautifulThe Land Bridge project will bring both opportunities and challenges to ThailandSnowballingattention onthe projecthas ensuredthe bridgebecomesa majorcomponentof China-Thailandconnectivitycooperation.62Hand-drawn illustration of the Land Bridge project by Prime Minister of Thailand Srettha Thavisin. (SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM)Business & Industry65outlining plans to develop the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and Southern Economic Corridor (SEC), boost industrial upgrades, and enhance international competitiveness.Currently, EEC is enjoying rapid progress, with the China-Laos-Thailand railway playing a key role in aligning it with the BRI. Construction of the SEC is poised to become a focal point for the new Thai government’s endeavors, and the Land Bridge project is expected to be linked to China’s 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which has strategic importance for both China and Thailand.The Land Bridge will advance economic and trade cooperationbetween both countries and facilitate alignment of supply and demand as well as connectivity.Thailand’s southern region is a major agricultural production area, and its agriculture contributes approximately 30 percent to the region’s GDP. The region has huge export demand for products such as rubber, seafood, wood products, and palm oil, but local demand for imports is smaller. This imbalance means that many vessels have to sail empty to local ports, which increases transportation costs.Hence, insufficient shipping capacity has pushed many products produced in southern Thailand to take a longer route. They would first be transported by land to the port of Penang in Malaysia or ports in Bangkok and Laem Chabang in eastern Thailand before being exported abroad. The problem has also dampened trade between China and Thailand despite China being the largest export market for agricultural products from southern Thailand. Laem Chabang Port and Chumphon Port, included in the Land Bridge project, are each designed to handle throughput of 20 million TEUs, making them well-positioned to address this problem effectively.The Thai government also proposed seizing the Land Bridge project as an opportunity to promote industrial upgrading and transformation in southern Thailand. The plan includesreclaiming land in the port areas and building supporting facilities as well as establishing industrial zones to attract foreign investment. The country has outlined plans to import electronic components from China, process them in the Land Bridge area, and then export the finished products to countries in Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, and along the Pacific coast, which would make the country a crucial link in the transoceanic supply chain.China and Thailand have previously collaborated on the construction of the Thai-Chinese Rayong Industrial Zone in eastern Thailand, which has since served as a successful model for bilateral investment and industrial cooperation. Many expect the Land Bridge to replicate this cooperation model in southern Thailand.In addition to promoting China-Thailand trade, the Land Bridge project will inject greater vitality into cooperation between China and ASEAN. China-ASEAN trade and investment has been gaining momentum since the entry intoforce of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in 2022. According to the plan for the Land Bridge, Chumphon Port will become the largest port on the western coast of the Gulf of Thailand, and the oil and gas pipelines included in the project are designed to alleviate the increasing burden on the Strait of Malacca. Since Thailand is situated at the geographic center of ASEAN, the Land Bridge has great potential to become a hub for shipping, trade, and energy transportation. China’s extensive participation in the project will create a new route to extend the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The Thai government expects big things from the Land Bridge, and Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has expressed considerable enthusiasm for China’s participation in theproject. However, the project still faces multiple difficulties and challenges.The first problem is funding. According to data released by the Thai Cabinet, total investment in the Land Bridge project will exceed 1.012 trillion Thai Baht (US$27.72 billion), which is more than twice the total cost of the first and second phases of the Bangkok-Nong Khai section of the China-Thailand High-speed Railway. The construction period for the Land Bridge will be lengthy and will involve massive costs as well as significant investment risks. Now, the Thai government is attracting investment for the project through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, which brings the challenge of coordinating the interests of various participants.The second obstacle isenvironmental consideration. The Land Bridge could have adverse effects on the marine ecosystem in Southern Thailand and potentially lead to losses for local tourism and fishery due to increased maritime traffic. Therefore, multiple rounds of environmental assessments are necessary before advancing theproject, including listening to voices from local people and gaining their trust to address the concerns of the community.Lastly, the project faces challenges from both domestic and international political environments. Domestically, the Thai government needs to address issues of uneven resource allocation across regions, and internationally, it must navigate competition with neighboring countries for maritime resources. As the American Indo-Pacific strategy proceeds, the United States and India could becomenervous about China gaining greater influence in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. If Thailand adheres to its traditional conservative “balanced diplomacy,” the Land Bridge project could get stuck.About the author Tian Lin is a lecturer at the School of Asian Studies at Beijing Foreign Studies University.。

被称为棋类的鼻祖英语作文
被称为棋类的鼻祖英语作文Chess, known as the ancestor of board games, has a long history and has been played by people all over the worldfor centuries. It is a game of strategy, skill, and tactics, and has been enjoyed by both young and old alike.The origins of chess are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have originated in India around the 6th century AD. The game was originally called Chaturanga, which means "four divisions" in Sanskrit, and was played with pieces representing the four branches of the Indian military: elephants, chariots, cavalry, and infantry.Over time, the game spread to other parts of the world, and the pieces and rules evolved. The game we know today as chess was developed in Europe during the Middle Ages, with the modern rules being established in the 15th century.Chess is played on a square board with 64 squares, alternating between light and dark colors.

African History非洲历史
African History非洲历史作者：王勣/译来源：《英语世界》2024年第05期Africa is home to the first humans and this gives a new meaning to its nickname the motherland. The continent has the longest history. A huge part of Africa’s earliest history has been lost， which is typical for early humans due to the relatively short time for which writing has existed.非洲是首批人類的家园，这赋予它的别称——“母亲之地”新的内涵。
这块大陆拥有最悠久的历史。
非洲早期历史的很大部分已经无考，对于早期人类而言这是常有的情况，因为文字记录出现时间相对较短。
Africans are the most diverse people in the world. Perhaps this has a connection with the fact that they are the earliest humans （founder effect1）， and it has been proven that humans adapt to the different environments they find themselves in over time as they migrate. This accounts for the many different skin tones of Africans， and the thousands of different cultures and languages spread all across the continent.非洲人包含世界上最多样化的民族。

好莱坞亚裔英文作文高中
好莱坞亚裔英文作文高中英文：As an Asian American, I have been following the recent discussion about the representation of Asians in Hollywood. It's a complex issue that has been going on for decades, and it's great to see more attention being paid to it now.On one hand, it's important to have more Asian actors and actresses in Hollywood. We need to see more diverse faces on the big screen, and Asian Americans have been historically underrepresented in the industry. When there are Asian characters in movies or TV shows, they are often portrayed in stereotypical ways, such as the nerdy sidekick or the martial arts expert. It's time for more nuanced and complex portrayals of Asian characters.On the other hand, it's not just about having more Asian actors in Hollywood. It's also about having more Asian writers, directors, and producers who can tellauthentic stories about the Asian American experience. When non-Asian filmmakers try to tell these stories, they often miss the mark and perpetuate harmful stereotypes.One example of a movie that got it right is "Crazy Rich Asians." It was directed by an Asian American, Jon M. Chu, and had an all-Asian cast. The movie was a huge success, and it showed that there is a demand for stories about Asians that are told by Asians.中文：作为一个亚裔美国人，我一直关注着好莱坞亚洲人的代表性问题。
关于亚洲人该锻炼的英语作文
关于亚洲人该锻炼的英语作文Exercise is an essential aspect of maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. For Asian individuals, incorporating regular physical activity into their daily routines can offer numerous benefits, both physically and mentally. In this essay, we will explore the importance of exercise for Asians and discuss the various ways in which they can incorporate it into their lives.One of the primary reasons why exercise is crucial for Asians is the prevalence of certain health conditions that disproportionately affect this population. For instance, Asians have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer compared to other ethnic groups. Regular physical activity can help mitigate these risks by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing blood pressure, and promoting overall cardiovascular health.Moreover, many Asians tend to have a more sedentary lifestyle, with a significant portion of their day spent sitting at work or in front of screens. This lack of physical activity can lead to a host of problems, including weight gain, muscle atrophy, and decreased flexibility. Byincorporating exercise into their daily routines, Asians can counteract these negative effects and maintain a healthier, more active lifestyle.When it comes to the types of exercise that are particularly beneficial for Asians, a variety of options are available. Cardiovascular exercises, such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling, can help improve overall cardiovascular fitness and reduce the risk of heart disease. Strength training exercises, such as weightlifting or resistance band workouts, can help build muscle mass, increase bone density, and boost metabolism.In addition to these traditional forms of exercise, Asians may also find great benefit in incorporating more culturally-relevant activities into their fitness regimes. For example, traditional martial arts, such as tai chi or kung fu, not only provide a physical workout but also offer mental and spiritual benefits, such as improved balance, coordination, and mindfulness.Another exercise option that is particularly well-suited for Asians is yoga. Yoga's emphasis on flexibility, strength, and breath control can be especially beneficial for Asians, who may face unique physical challenges due to their body types and cultural practices. Regular yoga practice can help improve posture, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.It is important to note that the specific exercise needs and preferences of Asians can vary greatly depending on factors such as age, gender, and individual health status. Therefore, it is essential for Asians to consult with healthcare professionals or certified fitness trainers to develop a customized exercise plan that meets their unique needs and goals.Furthermore, the social and cultural context in which Asians live can also play a significant role in their exercise habits. In many Asian cultures, there may be a perception that exercise is a luxury or a low priority, especially for individuals with demanding work or family responsibilities. Breaking these cultural barriers and encouraging Asians to prioritize their physical and mental health through exercise is crucial.One effective way to promote exercise among Asians is to create more accessible and culturally-relevant fitness programs and resources. This can include offering exercise classes or workshops in community centers, churches, or other familiar settings, and incorporating traditional Asian activities into the curriculum. Additionally, leveraging social media and other digital platforms to share information, success stories, and motivational content can help inspire Asians to adopt a more active lifestyle.In conclusion, exercise is a vital component of a healthy andbalanced lifestyle for Asians. By engaging in regular physical activity, Asians can improve their overall health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and enhance their mental well-being. Through a combination of traditional and culturally-relevant exercise options, as well as the support of healthcare professionals and community-based initiatives, Asians can take proactive steps towards a healthier and more active future.。

英语作文《历史的流年》
The Flow of HistoryGrowing up, I was always fascinated by the stories of the past. The tales of ancient civilizations, the rise and fall of empires, and the lives of great leaders captivated my imagination. It was as if history was a grand tapestry, woven with threads of time, and I was eager to explore every inch of it.My journey into the depths of history began with a simple book from the school library. It was a biography of Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. The book painted a vivid picture of her life, from her struggles for power to her tragic end. I was mesmerized by her intelligence, her charisma, and her indomitable spirit. She was a woman who defied the odds and stood against the might of Rome, and her story inspired me to learn more about the world that she lived in.As I delved deeper into history, I discovered the rich tapestry of human experience. I learned about the great civilizations that shaped the world, from the Egyptians and the Greeks to the Romans and the Chinese. I marveled at their achievements in art, science, and philosophy, and I was humbled by their struggles and failures.One of the most intriguing periods in history for me is the Renaissance. It was a time of great change and innovation, when artists, scientists, and thinkers challenged the status quo and pushed the boundaries of human knowledge. The works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Galileo Galilei were not just artistic masterpieces, but also testaments to the human spirits boundless curiosity and creativity.History is also a record of human folly and conflict. The two World Wars, for instance, were devastating events that claimed millions of lives and reshaped the world in profound ways. The Holocaust, a dark chapter in human history, is a stark reminder of the horrors that can arise from hatred and prejudice. These events, though painful, serve as important lessons for future generations, urging us to strive for peace and understanding.In my exploration of history, I have come to appreciate the interconnectedness of our world. The Silk Road, for example, was a network of trade routes that connected the East and the West, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures. The impact of this ancient trade route can still be felt today, as it laid the foundation for globalization and cultural diversity.Moreover, history has shown me the power of resilience and perseverance. The story of Nelson Mandela, who fought against apartheid and became the first black president of South Africa, is a testament to the human spirits ability to overcome adversity andinjustice. His life serves as an inspiration for people around the world to stand up for what is right, no matter the odds.In conclusion, history is a rich and complex narrative that offers valuable insights into the human experience. It is a mirror that reflects our past, present, and future, and it is a guide that helps us navigate the complexities of our world. As I continue to explore the flow of history, I am reminded of the words of the philosopher George Santayana: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Let us learn from history, so that we may build a better future for all.。
