<p>This paper focuses on the assessment of the multi-hazard natural disaster susceptibility and disaster risk in the Belt and Road (B&R) region. It is expected to provide a reference for cooperation in disaster risk reduction among B&R countries. Based on historical disaster data from 1980 to 2018, the disaster susceptibility of the B&R countries to multi-hazard has been analyzed using random forest model. The multi-hazard risk was further assessed based on the disaster susceptibility and Monte-Carlo method. Results show that regions with high susceptibility to meteorological hazards are mostly distributed in central Africa and the coastal areas of all continents. While Himalayan-Mediterranean seismic zone is susceptible to geological hazards. Due to the different distribution of regional exposures, the risks of economic loss and the risk of population casualties also appear differently. For economic loss risk, in grid scale very high and high level take 21% area. Europe, southeast China coast, and the Indian peninsula present higher economic loss risks. In population casualties risk, very high and high level take 15% area and in national scale the central and southern parts of Eurasia show higher population casualties risk. The results provide a comprehensive analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution, sensitivity, and disaster risk of natural disasters in B&R region, and provides a reference for regional disaster prevention and reduction cooperation.</p>

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Spatio-temporal big data cloud platform is an important spatial information infrastructure that can provide different period spatial information data services, various spatial analysis services and flexible API services. Activities of policy coordination, facilities connectivity and unimpeded trade on the Belt and Road Initiative (B&amp;R) will create huge demands to the spatial information infrastructure. This paper focuses on researching a distributed spatio-temporal big data engine and an extendable cloud platform framework suits for the B&amp;R and some key technologies to implement them. A distributed spatio-temporal big data engine based on Cassandra&amp;trade; and an extendable 4-tier architecture cloud platform framework is put forward according to the spirit of parallel computing and cloud service. Four key technologies are discussed: 1) a storage and indexing method for distributed spatio-temporal big data, 2) an automatically collecting, processing, mapping and updating method of authoritative spatio-temporal data for web mapping service, 3) a schema of services aggregation based on nodes registering and services invoking based on view extension, 4) a distributed deployment and extension method of the cloud platform. We developed a distributed spatio-temporal big data centersoftware and founded the main node platform portal with MapWorld&amp;trade; map services and some thematic information services inChina and built some local platform portals for those countries in the B&amp;R area. The management and analysis services for spatio-temporal big data were built in flexible styles on this platform. Practices show that we provide a flexible and efficient solution tobuild the distributed spatio-temporal big data center and cloud platform, more node portals can be aggregated to the main portal bypublishing their own web services and registering them in the aggregation schema. The data center and platform can support thestorage and management of massive data well and has higher fault tolerance and better scalability.</p>

China’s Belt and Road Initiative could be treated ambiguously. On the one hand, it is intended to transform the newly acquired economic potential of that country into its higher status in the world. China invites a lot of nations to build up gigantic transit corridors by joint efforts, and doing so it applies productively its capital and technologies. International transactions in RMB are also being expanded. But, on the other hand, the Belt and Road Initiative is also a necessity for China to cope with some evident problems of its current stage of development, such as industrial overcapacity, overdependence on imports of raw materials from a narrow circle of countries, and a subordinate status in global value chains. For Russia participation in the Belt and Road Initiative may be fruitful, since the very character of that project provides us with a space to manoeuvre. By now, Russian exports to China consist primarily of fuels and other commodities. More active industrial policy is needed to correct this situation . A flexible framework of the Belt and Road Initiative is more suitable for this objective to be achieved, rather than traditional forms of regional integration, such as a free trade zone.

The friendship between nations lies in the mutual affinity of the people, and the people’s affinity lies in the communion of hearts. The cultural and humanities cooperation between China and Russia has a long history. In recent years, under the role of the“Belt and Road” initiative, the SCO, and the Sino-Russian Humanities Cooperation Committee, Sino-Russian culture and humanities cooperation has continued to deepen. Entering a new era, taking the opportunity to promote Sino-Russian relations into a “new era China-Russia comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership”, the development of human relations between the two countries has entered a new historical starting point, while also facing a series of problems and challenges. This article is based on the current status of Sino-Russian human relations in the new era, interprets the characteristics of Sino-Russian human relations in the new era, analyzes the problems and challenges of Sino-Russian human relations in the new era, and tries to propose solutions and solutions with a view to further developing Sino-Russian cultural and humanities relations in the new era. It is a useful reference, and provides a reference for future related research, and ultimately helps the Sino-Russian cultural and humanities relations in the new era to be stable and far-reaching.
