  • The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the risks of an over-concentration of supply chains in one country. It has motivated stakeholders to pursue diversification strategies. However, a paradox exists. Stakeholders have shied away from a complete decoupling and preferring to selectively enhance economic ties with China. This article explores this paradox by examining supply chain concentration in China as a form of asymmetric interdependence and the countermeasures from the U.S., Japan, Australia, and India to minimize vulnerabilities. It argues that while the COVID-19 disruptions have brought to light the risk of supply chain overconcentration in China, countermeasures are also driven by coercive diplomacy and the deepening U.S.-China rivalry. The paper also examines the feasibility of diversification efforts by focusing on the capacity and capabilities of alternative supply chain hubs. It finds that while states are actively seeking ways to prevent China from using asymmetric interdependence of supply chains and trade to gain political leverage, there are structural limits to the degree of diversification in the short to mid-term.

  • This article deals with the asymmetrical relations between Australia and China and explores their interdependence, tensions, and societal outlooks. Both countries are dependent on one another for trade to different degrees but attempt to diversify their supply chains. While there is no united position on China in Australia, there has been a bipartisan support for the counter-interference legislation there. The newly established security pact of the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia - 'AUKUS' - has brought a new dimension into these tensions and will most likely lead to an arms race. The author explores how a so-called middle power such as Australia balances the related economic and strategic interests and priorities. Although Australia has been vulnerable in its asymmetric relationship with China, it has shown that it is not a passive and helpless actor when facing an economic coercion. The interdependence has become a moderating factor in this strategic stand-off. Additionally, Australia demonstrates its tendency to reinforce its traditional reliance on its previous more powerful allies, the UK and the US.

  • 동중국과 우리나라 경상분지에 분포하는 백악기초기 화성활동의 지구화학적 특징을 고찰하였다. 동중국에 분포하는 암상은 피크라이트-현무암-안산암-조면암-유문암 및 황반암의 분출암과 반려암-섬록암-몬조니암-섬장암-화강암 및 휘록암의 관입암체로 다양하다. 이들은 고-칼륨 칼크-알칼리 내지는 쇼쇼나이트 계열에 속한다. 경상분지의 하양층군 속에 협재되어 있는 화산암은 같은 계열의 현무암질 조면안산암이다. 미량원소(Zr, Nb, Y)를 이용한 현무암류의 생성 지구조환경 분류도에서, 이들은 대개 판내부환경 현무암류의 범주에 도시된다. Sr-Nd 동위원소상관도에서 북중국지괴와 북 남중국지괴의 충돌대에 분포하는 현무암류는 대개 맨틀배열 보다 매우 부화된 동위원소비를 가진다. 남중국지괴 현무암류의 $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ 비는 북중국지괴의 범위와 유사하나 ${\varepsilon}_{Nd}$ 값은 북중국지괴에 비하여 상대적으로 높은 편이다. 북중국지괴와 충돌대의 현무암류들은 대개 낮은 $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb(t)$ 비를 가지는 것이 특징이며, $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb(t)$-$^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb(t)$ 상관도에서 지오크론의 왼쪽에 도시된다. 남중국지괴 현무암류는 지오크론의 오른쪽에 도시되며, 상대적으로 높은 방사기원 Pb 동위원소비를 가진다. 하양층군 현무암류는 Sr-Nd과 Pb-Pb 동위원소 상관도에서 북중국지괴 현무암류의 범주 내에 도시된다. 오랜 기간 동안 변성교대작용에 의해 지구화학적으로 부화된 암석권맨틀이 위 현무암류를 생성한 근원물질로 추정된다. 백악기초기의 확장응력장에서 발생한 연약권의 용승이 열원이 되어 암석권맨틀의 부분용융이 가능하였을 것이다. 암석권맨틀을 부화시킨 매체로는 엽렬되어 침몰된 하부지각이 재활성화되어 생성된 액, 섭입된 양쯔지괴 대륙지각 기원 액 내지는 섭입된 고태평양판 기원의 유체/액 등을 들 수 있다.

  • Characteristics of precipitation in South Korea during the 2016 Changma period (6/18~7/30) are analyzed in great details. El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-induced tropical Indian Ocean (IO) basin-wide warming lasts from spring to early summer and induces the western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) circulation anomaly through an equatorial Kelvin wave during the 2016 Changma period. Along the northern edge of the WNPSH, strong precipitation occurred, in particular, over eastern China and southern Japan. During the Changma period, South Korea had the near-normal mean precipitation amount (~332 mm). However, about 226 mm of rain fell in South Korea during 1 July to 6 July, which amounts to 67% of total Changma precipitation in that year. Upper-level synoptic migratory lows and low-level moisture transport played an essential role, especially from 1 July to 3 July, in triggering an abrupt development of fronts over the Korean Peninsula and the eastern continent China. The front over the eastern China migrates progressively eastward, which results in heavy rainfall over the Korean peninsula from 1 to 3 July. In contrast, from 4 to 6 July, the typhoon (NEPARTAK) affected an abrupt northward advance of the North Pacific subtropical high (NPSH). The northward extension of the NPSH strengthens the Changma front and induces the southerly flows toward the Korean peninsula, giving rise to an increase in heavy rainfall. The NEPARTAK is generated due to interaction of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), equatorial Rossby wave and Kelvin waves.

  • The characteristics of the rainfall events on the Korean peninsula have been investigated by means of regional and global observational data collected from 1954 to 2004 with an emphasis on extreme cases $80\;mm\;day^{-1}$. According to our analysis, long-term annual rainfall anomalies show an increasing trend. This trend is pronounced in the month of August, when both the amount of monthly rainfall and the frequency of extreme events increase significantly. Composite maps on August during the 8 wet years reveal warm SST anomalies over the eastern Philippine Sea which are associated with enhanced convection and vertical motion and intensified positive SLP over central Eurasia during August. The rainfall pattern suggests that the most significant increase in moisture supply over the southern parts of China and Korea in August is associated with positive SLP changes over Eurasia and negative SLP changes over the subtropical western Pacific off the east coast of south China. The frequent generation of typhoons over the warm eastern Philippine Sea and their tracks appear to influence the extreme rainfall events in Korea during the month of August. The typhoons in August mainly passed the western coast of Korea, resulting in the frequent occurrence of extreme rainfall events in this region. Furthermore, anomalous cyclonic circulations over the eastern Philippine Sea also promoted the generation of tropical cyclones. The position of pressure systems - positive SLP over Eurasia and negative SLP over the subtropical Pacific - in turn provided a pathway for typhoons. The moisture is then effectively transported further north toward Korea and east toward the southern parts of China during the extreme rainfall period.

  • 본 논문은 1952-2004년 걸쳐 중국의 수출과 경제성장 간의 인과관계를 지역별(동부, 중부, 서부), 시대별(개혁개방 전후)로 고찰해 본 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 변수들의 안정성 여부를 검토하기 위해 단위근 검정을 실시했으며, 다음으로 변수간 장기적인 안정관계를 확인하기 위해 공적분 검정을 수행했고, 마지막으로 오차수정모형을 추정함으로써 그랜저 인과관계 검정을 실시했다. 분석결과 전체기간에서 동부지역은 수출이 경제성장에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 중서부지역에서는 그 정도가 약하게 나타났다. 동부지역의 경우 개방정책이 집중적으로 나타난 지역적 특성을 반영하여 개혁개방 이전에는 수출과 경제성장 간의 인과관계가 나타나지 않았으나, 개혁개방 이후에는 수출이 경제성장에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 개혁개방을 전후하여 변화가 없을 것으로 예상했던 중서부 지역의 경우, 중부지역은 개혁개방 이전에는 무역과 경제성장 간에 인과관계가 보이지 않았으나 개혁개방 이후에는 양방향 인과관계가 강하게 나타났으며, 서부지역의 경우에는 오히려 개혁개방 이전에 무역이 경제성장에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면 개혁개방 이후에는 반대로 경제성장이 무역에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
