湘西古丈河西战国、汉墓发掘简报

2003年7月和2004年4月,湖南湘西自治州文物管理处在古丈县河西镇燕子窝墓地抢救性发掘战国、西汉、东汉墓葬10座,共出土文物110件。其中M8出土的一套仿铜陶礼器,造型庄重大方,彩绘纹样繁缛精细,色泽艳丽,在本地所出的楚式器中实属罕见。M9和M10所出土的器物相似性,表明了在东汉早期竖穴土坑墓与砖室墓之间的并存关系。燕子窝墓地是一处西汉末到东汉初在当地享有名望的家族墓地,出土的部分典型器物,充分展示了这一时期典型器物的演变过程。     

Military dominance in Pakistan and China–Pakistan relations

ABSTRACT

The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has been touted as the centrepiece of China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the key to its strategic partnership with Pakistan. Notwithstanding claims about the CPEC’s economic potential, however, Islamabad’s economy continues to be dire. This article attempts to better understand the ramifications of Pakistan’s economic viability and its consequences for China. It does so by examining China–Pakistan relations from the lens of Pakistan’s civil–military relations, paying attention in particular to what the Pakistan Armed Forces (PMA)’s domestic dominance means for China’s interests, including economic interests, in Pakistan. We suggest that PMA preponderance and its attendant influence on the country’s economic performance bring another dimension to interpreting Sino-Pakistani relations. As Beijing’s most trusted political partner in Pakistan, the PMA’s local dominance has considerable benefits for China, particularly in the security and political aspects of its interests. However, this dominance also entails a number of complications for Chinese economic interests, a factor that has implications for the future of China’s CPEC investments and their financial sustainability.
