In 1993, Chinese scholars Wang Shaoguang and Hu Angang registered a warning that the state capacity of the PRC was declining. According to Wang and Hu, this declining capacity is exemplified by two phenomena in the mid-1980s: the declining share of the national fiscal revenue in the gross domestic product (GDP) and the decline of the central government's share of national fiscal revenue. Wang and Hu warned that this declining capacity of the state will also lead to a widening disparity of wealth distribution and economic development, which eventually will produce social chaos. Many believed that the PRC government was affected by the above analysis and thus adopted a tax reform measure in 1994. The new tax system between the central and local governments, the tax assignment system (fen shui zhi), was designed to allow the central government to regain its lost share in national fiscal revenue and to alleviate local disparities. By using official statistical data, this study intends to evaluate the effect of the practice of the tax assignment system in the years between 1994 and 1997. Different from what is claimed by the Chinese officials, this study finds that the system has not been able to successfully achieve its intended policy goals. This paper is able to reach such a different conclusion as it takes into account the "tax return" (shuishou fanhuan) from the central government to local governments. As an integral part of the tar assignment system, the "tax return" mechanism carries a strong compromising institutional character. The system. designed as an incentive for the local governments to cooperate, also hindered the central government in raising its extractive capacity. The result of reviewing the practice of this system in the years from 1994 to 1997 shows that the central government seems unlikely to be able to phase out the "tax return" mechanism and put in place a full-fledged tar assignment system.

In order to elucidate the structural characteristics of the Yangsan Fault in southeastern Korea the Ganggu-Angang area has been studied in terms of fault branching and fault linkages. According to the results of this study, eight faults (e.g., the Winmal, Docheon, Yugye, Gojusan, Naengsu, Malgol, Ogeum and Moa faults) branch from the Yangsan Fault, and divide it into at least nine segments. The strike separations of these faults suggest that they are much longer than their presently exposed lengths and that the majority of them are linked to the Jangsa Fault as connecting faults. This distribution of faults comprises the 'Singwang strike-slip duplex' with the geometry of an extensional strike-slip duplex or pull-apart basin. Block faulting took place along the connecting faults and related transfer faults, resulting in the deposition of coarse grained sediments in fan-delta systems. The shape of basalt masses around the northern tip of Yangsan Fault reveals that this fault had a sinistral motion, possibly in relation to the Pliocene (?) rotation of the Pohang-Ulsan Block. At a recent stage, the Yangsan Fault was displaced by WNW-ESE, E-W or ENE-WSW trending faults. Quaternary reactivation occurred along the Yangsan Fault but not along the Jangsa Fault.
