[UW-GIS-L] China Data Here

[Amanda Henck]

Thanks! These are from 1990 and therefore are 
missing the very important fact that Chongqing got 
taken out of Sichuan and turned into a centrally 
controlled city. This reduced the size of Sichuan 
by about 25%. However, the data from Columbia does 
have the county boundaries. These have changed a 
bit, but I was able to work from a picture of a 
county map of Chongqing to create a little 
shapefile of Chongqing to put ontop of my Sichuan 
file. It works well enough.  Still though, I would 
be interested in 2000 or later boundaries if 
anyone knows where they can be gotten.  I did find 
evidence of them on the China Data Center website 
but only for sale - apparently our subscription to 
that site doesn't include the spatial data, only 
the digitized statistical yearbooks.

thanks again!
