The article examines the mechanism of functioning of the Chinese-Belarusian industrial park "Veliky kamen". The conclusion is made about the expediency of further development of the park as a center of innovative, regional growth and increasing the international competitiveness of the Belarusian economy. A review of theories and concepts that form the theoretical foundations of improving the park model is carried out. Among them: the theory of polarized development, international competitiveness, regional innovation systems, the concept of realizing the spatial advantages of economic activity (agglomeration, urban governance). The policy of further development of the park in the following areas has been substantiated: the formation of an innovative environment for residents; formation of a cluster model; increasing the international competitiveness of the park through the use of management innovations, expanding service services, including using digital technologies, implementing the effects of agglomeration when creating a satellite city on the basis of the park.

AbstractIn modern scholarship, much ink has been spilled over the significance of St. Augustine in the history of Western philosophy and theology. However, little effort has been made to clarify the legacy of Augustine in East Asia, especially his contribution to China during the early Jesuit missionary work through the Maritime Silk Road. The present article attempts to fill this lacuna and provide a philosophical analysis of the encounter of Chinese indigenous religions with St Augustine, by inquiring into why and how Augustine was taken as a model for the Chinese in their acceptance of the Christian faith. The analysis is split into three parts. The first part reflects on the contemporary disputations over the quality of the paraphrasing work of the early Jesuits, analyzing the validity of the allegedly careless inaccuracies in their introduction of Augustine's biography. The second part analyses some rarely discussed Chinese translations of Augustine, which I recently found in the Nanjing Union Theological Seminary, with particular focus on their ideological context. In particular, the paraphrased text concerning Augustine's theory of sin and the two cities will be highlighted. The third part goes a step further in exploring the reason why Augustine was considered an additional advantage in dealing with the conflicts between Christian and Confucian values. The primary contribution this essay makes is to present a philosophical inquiry into the role of Augustine in the early acceptance of Christianity in China by suggesting that a strategy of "Confucian-Christian synthesis" had been adopted by the Jesuit missionaries. Thereby, they accommodated Confucian terms without dropping the core values of the orthodox Catholic faith. The conclusion revisits the critics' arguments and sums up with an evaluation of the impact of Augustine's religious values in the indigenization of Christianity in China.

Xi Jinping believes that learning is the way to pass on civilization, the ladder to grow in life, the foundation to consolidate political parties and the key to national prosperity. The Chinese nation is a nation that loves learning and is good at learning. The Communist Party of China is a political party that attaches great importance to learning and is good at learning. To create in learning, to develop in practice, the Communist Party of China regards learning as the inherent gene of its own development and the eternal subject of its own construction. It is significant for promoting cultural exchange and mutual appreciation.

Peak car has happened in most developed cities, but for the 1.5 °C agenda the world also needs emerging cities to go through this transition. Data on Beijing shows that it has reached peak car over the past decade. Evidence is provided for peak car in Beijing from traffic supply (freeway length per capita and parking bays per private car) and traffic demand (private car ownership, automobile modal split, and Vehicle Kilometres Travelled per capita). Most importantly the data show Beijing has reduced car use absolutely whilst its GDP has continued to grow. Significant growth in electric vehicles and bikes is also happening. Beijing's transition is explained in terms of changing government policies and emerging cultural trends, with a focus on urban fabrics theory. The implications for other emerging cities are developed out of this case study. Beijing's on-going issues with the car and oil will remain a challenge but the first important transition is well underway.
