This paper uses DEA and Malmquist index to calculate the total factor productivity of manufacturing industry along “the Belt and Road” from 2006 to 2016, and discusses their regional differences and dynamic rules from temporal and spatial dimensions. Decomposition of total factor productivity is performed to explore the source and drives of its internal changes so as to precisely study the spatial difference and evolution of total factor productivity of manufacturing industry. The total factor productivity of manufacturing industry along “the Belt and Road” shows a U-shaped changing trend which suggests an improved resource allocation efficiency, and is of regional heterogeneity, high in southeastern coast area, followed by northeastern and southwestern area, and then by northwestern area. Technical advances play a key role in increasing the total factor productivity, and research and development input, patent counts, new products revenue and “the Belt and Road” policies are positively related to the total factor productivity.

This paper analyzes the exploration situation of Xinjiang’s mineral resources,and concludes that Xinjiang is a vital strategic alternative region for energy,non-ferrous and noble metals with huge potentials.Mining is a key drive to Xinjiang’s economy. Xinjiang’s mineral resources are marked by widely-spreading,abundant categories,developed logistics,large reserves,quality and rational structure of some mineral resources.Limited by its remote sites,poor natural conditions,unde-developed economy,and primitive geological works,lower technology and lack of science talents,Xinjiang’s mineral resources development stays a primary leve land a lower synthetic utilization level.This paper presents approaches to synthetic development and utilization of Xinjiang’s mineral resources.

Hangzhou is a very famous city with reputed resorts and historical culture, and possesses abundant geological relic resources, especial the lakes, karst, tides and the Neolithic ancient human being’s relics. This paper, based on the genesis, materials and the dynamic factors contributing to the geological relics, classifies the geological relics into eight types, and expands the typical ones. According to the spatial distribution and combination, this paper assorts Hangzhou into four regions such as Xihu lake, Liangzhu, Lunian and Heshang, and presents some suggestions protecting and developing the geological relic resources in Hangzhou city.
