The Chinese Imperial Air Force (CIAF; Chinese: 中華帝國空軍; Wade–Giles: Chung-hua Ti-kuo K'ung-chün), also referred to as the Chinese Air Force (中華空軍) or the Imperial Air Force (帝國空軍), is the principal aerial service of the Great Ch'ing Empire, a part of the Chinese Imperial Military along with the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army. The CIAF was officially established on 25 December 1929 and it is composed of five branches: aviation, ground-based air defense, radar, Airborne Corps and other support elements.
The development of the CIAF began with the creation of the Pei-yang Army Flying Corps in 1910, which flew French biplanes in reconaissance and bombing operations against rebels. With the splintering of the Pei-yang Army in 1916, elements of the Flying Corps entered the service of the various warlords vying for control of the government. During the First World War, ten bombers were shipped to Shang-hai for the Peking Government's use in dislodging the German Navy from Kiautschou Bay. The Flying Corps would participate in the Southern Expedition using primarily the Avro Avenger fighter aircraft and the Avro Aldershot heavy bomber provided by the United Kingdom, and in 1929, with the warlords brought together or defeated, the Air Staff was created as a separate branch of the military. The UK also assisted with the expansion of the Chinese aerospace industry during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Changes in the organization of the CIAF followed by modernization programs in the 1980s and increased technology development in the 21st century resulted in the J-20 stealth multirole fighter, the first of its kind for China.
The Air Force's mission is to secure the objectives of the Imperial Defence Council which are to "provide necessary security and defense of the Empire and to support the Government's international obligations". The highest-ranking military officer in the Air Force is the Chief of the Air Staff, who exercises supervision over Air Force units, while the IDC assigns Air Force components to unified combatant commands. Some units are also ceremonially affiliated with the Eight Banners, but since 1931 have been functionally integrated into the civilian command structure. The Helicopter Command contains most of the rotary-wing aircraft of the CIAF. Most of the air force is based in Mainland China, but some units do serve on foreign operations (principally over Manipur and Bukhara) or at long-established foreign bases (Havana, Ream, Djibouti, and Gorno-Badakhshan). Although the CIAF is the principal Chinese air power arm, the Imperial Navy's Fleet Air Corps and the Army Air Corps also operate armed aircraft.

(Further information: link to page "Aviation in China")
Origins:
Today's Chinese Imperial Air Force (CIAF) traces its roots back to August 10, 1910 when the government authorized the creation of the Army Flying Corps in an effort to improve intelligence and gain the upper hand on insurrections. On the same day, construction began on Peking Nan-yüan Airport as part of a program to modernize national infrastructure. Initiated in the wake of the Boxer Protocol in 1901, the Keng-tzu New Policies were ordered by the Empress Dowager Tz'ŭ-hsi to reform government bureaucracy along with the military, and by the start of the Hsuan-t'ung reign a group of preparatory departments had been organized for experimentation with new technology and administrative systems. In 1903 an imperial edict expanded the Wu-wei Corps to 36 divisions, creating the Pei-yang Army, in 1905 the Imperial Examinations were abolished, and in 1907 a new law code and judicial system were rolled out. That same year, the tax code was reformed and the rail system was nationalized, which greatly helped the empire's finances but caused significant unrest as well.
With the death of Jung-lu in 1903, General of the Right Division Yüan Shih-k'ai became commander of the Pei-yang Army. His role in the 1898 coup d'état against the Kuang-hsü Emperor made him many enemies, and when the empress dowager and the emperor died within a day of each other in 1909, he was forced to resign by Prince Ch'ün and return to his home village ostensibly for health reasons. In spite of this, Yüan remained in communication with his associates in the army. In the wake of the February 1910 Keng-hsü Army Uprising, he authorized the Pei-yang Army to found a flight school at Nan-yüan to train a group of eight pilots to fly reconnaisance using Cauldron Type D biplanes purchased from France, improving the army's ability to respond. In early 1911, the Aviation Research Institute was founded.[6]
Warlord Era and Yüan Ch'en:

(Photo labeled "Voisin V in Shang-hai")
In 1911, a major popular uprising began in Canton while another army mutiny occurred at Wu-ch'ang. In a panic, Empress Dowager Lung-yü convinced Yüan to come out of retirement and lead the war effort in exchange for the position of Prime Minister and the final adoption of the Hsuan-t'ung Constitution. The rebellion was crushed by the end of 1912, and the T'ung-meng-hui (TMH) revolutionary society was forced to flee to Japan once again with numerous dead. With the south pacified, Yüan feared he would no longer be of use to the Ch'ing court. In spite of the bureaucrats' protests, he brought his army into the capital in order to protect himself and his allies from execution, essentially holding the court hostage. For five years, he and his majority Han chinese cabinet ruled the country.
Reasoning that China desired a new Han-ruled dynasty, Yüan revised the constitution to make himself a dictator before announcing plans to seize the throne as the Hung-hsien Emperor of Great Ch'en, allowing his army to plunder Manchu estates as northern Chinese cities descended into racial violence. The Ch'ing court fled to Gan-su, where support for Han rule was lower, under the protection of Ma An-liang and Shaan-hsi governor Ch'ien Neng-hsün. With the divided country now in civil war, many of Yüan's closest supporters abandoned him, and the solidarity of his Beiyang clique of military protégés dissolved. The Hung-hsien Emperor was opposed by not only the Ch'ing and the minorities, but far more importantly by his subordinate military commanders, who believed that his usurpation would allow him to rule without depending on the support of the military.
A coalition of governors and officers led by An-hui governor Liang Tun-yen launched the Imperial Protection War against him, officially in the name of the Hsuan-t'ung Emperor, while the Air Corps rebelled as well and dropped bombs on the Forbidden City. Yüan's health continued to decline, and his death in 1916 paved the way for the return of K'ang Yu-wei and other anti-Yüan reformist exiles. The Prince Ch'ing Cabinet retook control of the capital, denouncing Yüan and purging his allies, while government authority was greatly damaged. Provinces broke away and the TMH returned in 1917 to start a Han-nationalist insurgency in Hunan.
The fall of Yüan Shih-k'ai created a power vacuum and fractured the army. Fearing for their lives, many of the southern Pei-yang generals revolted and took control of the provinces as military governors. Minister of War Wang Shih-chen, nominally in charge of the Pei-yang Army, abolished it and reorganized the loyalist forces into the Chinese Imperial Military. Expanding the airbases at Nan-yüan and Ta hsiao-ch'ang, Marshal Wang was able to acquire more machines from Britain and France when the new army attacked the German Leased Territory of Kiautschou Bay in 1917 and China was drawn into the First World War.
As part of the allied Operation Asher, ten Voisin V pusher bombers were produced in France and shipped to Shang-hai. In spite of having defeated the 1914 allied attack, by this time the garrison was low on supplies and the Chinese aircraft proved devastating to German morale during the Second Siege of Tsing-tao. An avid aviation enthusiast, the Hsuan-tung Emperor himself also took great interest in the development of the Air Corps, and when he assumed direct rule in 1924 he personally invested large amounts of his constitutional subsidy into it.
First United Front:
During the late 1920s, the Ch'ing Imperial Government formed the first united front with the liberal T'ung-meng Hui (TMH) party against competing warlords in a bid to reunite a fractionalized China, combining the liberal Wu-han Government with the Imperial Assembly. In this period, various airplanes were purchased and deployed by warlords in their struggle for power until nominal Chinese reunification in 1929 following the Southern Expedition which saw the use of Avro Aldershot heavy bombers to inflict serious damage on the infrastructure of several provinces in support of the government offensives. That year, the CIAF was designated as an independent branch of the armed forces. The eighteen graduate pilots of the military flight school included nine republican and nine monarchist pilots who were sent to the Russian Federation for two years of advanced flight training under the tutelage of the more experienced Russian Air Force. Two of the imperial graduates, Kuo Tzu-han and Sung Chien-yü, continued to serve in the Russian Air Force for five years until, in September 1928, they returned to Ti-hua as instructors.
At the same time, Tsai-chen the fifth Prince Ch'ing established the Bureau of Aeronautics in 1920. Subsequently, the organization continued to develop, and successively established an aircraft factory, an aviation command, and a new aviation school in Hsi-an. In May 1927, the Aviation Department of the Ministry of War was changed to the Aviation Committee of the Defense Council of the Imperial Government. By 1929, the government's aviation force was officially independent from the Army General Command and became an independent service.
Second Sino-Japanese War:
(Photo labelled "Self-developed Chinese transport aircraft during the Battle of Ch'ang-sha")
Following the abolition of many of their social privileges in the Hsin-wei Reform Act, many Banner families experienced poverty and violence. In response to perceived neglect, they became disaffected with the Hsuan-t'ung Emperor. Some sided with the northeastern Pei-yang Army generals of the Fêng-tʻien Clique, while some sought support from Imperial Japan.
A minor dispute known as the Wan-pao-shan incident between Han and Korean farmers occurred on July 1, 1931. The issue was highly sensationalized in the Imperial Japanese and Korean press, and used for considerable propaganda effect to increase anti-Chinese sentiment in the Empire of Japan. Believing that a conflict in Manchuria would be in the best interests of Japan, Kwantung Army Colonel Seishirō Itagaki devised a plan to provoke Japan into invading Manchuria by setting up a false flag incident for the pretext of invasion. The Independent Garrison Unit of the 29th Infantry Regiment (which guarded the South Manchuria Railway) placed explosives near the tracks, but far enough away to do no real damage.
On the morning of September 19, two artillery pieces installed at the Mukden officers' club opened fire on the Chinese garrison nearby, in response to the alleged Chinese attack on the railway. Chang Hsueh-liang's small air force was destroyed, and his soldiers fled their destroyed Pei-ta-ying barracks, as five hundred Japanese troops attacked the Chinese garrison of around seven thousand. The Chinese troops were no match for the experienced Japanese troops. By the evening, the fighting was over, and the Japanese had occupied Mukden at the cost of five hundred Chinese lives and only two Japanese lives, thus starting the greater invasion of Manchuria. By 1932, most of the region was under Japanese control and the Empire of Manchukuo was created, while a young member of the Hitara clan was enthroned in Ch'ang-ch'un as the K'ang-te Emperor.
The CIAF immediately dispatched combat aircraft to the Hung-ch'iao Aerodrome during the January 28th Incident of 1932, and aerial skirmishes occurred for the first time between China and the Imperial Japanese. In February 1932, US Reserve Lt. Robert McCawley Short, who was transporting armed Chinese aircraft, shot down an IJN aircraft on February 19, 1932, and downed another on February 22 before he was killed (he was posthumously raised to the rank of colonel in the CIAF). During the early days of China's war of resistance against the Japanese invasion, the Imperial Air Force participated in several battles, including attacking Imperial Japanese Navy warships along the Yangtze River and supporting the Battle of Shang-hai. By this time, the Imperial Air Force's main fighter models were the Curtiss Hawk II and Hawk III fighters. On August 14, 1937, Japanese Imperial Navy bombers bombed Hang-chou Chien-ch'iao Airport, but was defeated by the CIAF; therefore, August 14 was designated as Air Force Day by the Imperial Government. In May 1938, the CIAF dispatched two B-10 bombers to Japan to drop leaflets.
By the middle of the war, intelligence units of the Imperial Japanese Navy cracked the radio codes of the Chinese army, putting the Air Force under attack. In the middle and late stages of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the addition of Chennault and other foreign pilots, as well as the support provided by the United States after joining the Allies, restructured the combat power of the CIAF and participated in the Hsin-chu Air Attack, and air raids on Japan. After the end of World War II, in June 1946, the Aviation Committee of the Military Committee of the Imperial Government was changed to the General Command of the Air Force.
Chinese Civil War:
In January 1941, as intensifying clashes between imperial and TMH forces ended the second united front against invading Japanese forces, the government's Imperial Defense Council (IDC) established the Air Force Engineering School with Kuo as commandant and Sung as head instructor. In May 1944, just over a year before the Japanese surrender to Allied forces, the IDC established an Aviation Section in Hsi-an with Kuo as its director and Sung as deputy director. Two years later in May 1946 and after the withdrawal of Japanese troops, the IDC established the Northeast Old Aviation School in Kirin. By 1949 the Aviation Section of the IDC had 560 trained personnel (125 pilots and 435 ground support specialists), purchased 435 aircraft from the Russian Federation, acquired 115 republican aircraft, and operated seven military flight schools.
During the Second Civil War between the T'ung-meng Hui and the Imperial Government from 1946 to 1949, the Air Corps of the Republic of China participated in combat support and air strikes against the CIAF on the mainland and around the Tai-wan Strait. In October of the same year, the ACROC assisted in stopping the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army at the Battle of Ku-ning-t'ou in Quemoy, and in April 1949, the Air Corps retreated to the former Japanese colony of Tai-wan along with other government departments of the ROC. In October 1952, Marshal Chou Ên-lai and the battle-hardened army of the Chinese Communist Party broke with the T'ung-meng Hui and launched a successful revolution with the help of Indigenous Taiwanese, abolishing the National Assembly of the TMH and founding the People's Republic of China; the world's second socialist state after India. The ACROC sided with the revolution and became the PRCAAF. As relations soured between the left liberal governments of NATO and the right authoritarian governments of the Eurasian Pact, the United States intervened on behalf of the PRC and preserved the island's self-government. There have been at least 11 air battles in the area since 1952.
The real opportunity to obtain a large number of aircraft came from the Northeast Alliance Aviation School established in 1946 after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. At this time, the Imperial Government seized Japanese-made aircraft, trained pilots, and received a large number of American-made aircraft from the surrendered ROC Air Force in southeast China and Nanking during the civil war. On March 17, 1949, personnel were transferred from the Northeast Aviation School to establish the "Imperial Defence Council Aviation Bureau" in Peking. The director Ch'ang Ch'ien-k'un (the executive vice president of the Northeast Aviation School), under the Combat Education Department, Aeronautical Engineering Department, Civil Aviation Department, Information Section and Supply Section, staffed 64 people. In May 1949, the Navigation Management Office, the Secretariat, and the Imperial Office were added, and the number was expanded to 172 people. The major military regions have since successively established aviation divisions.

Notes:
While they are strange bedfellows, the strategic importance of Tai-wan Island was sufficient for the US to accept the existence of the PRC; the start of a similar reconciliation as began in the 1970s during Detente.
In this timeline, the White Movement won the Russian Civil War. Specifically, the Provisional All-Russian Government or "Ufa Directory" of Alexander Kolchak defeated the Bolsheviks in 1919, retaking Moscow and Petrograd partially with the help of a Qing expeditionary force which aided the Basmachi rebels in Central Asia and helped hold sections of the Trans-Siberian Railway alongside the Czechoslovak Legion. Kolchak was assassinated by a monarchist in 1920, which began a second phase of the civil war. The conflict ended in 1922 when the Ufa Directory combined with the Samara Government to form a federal republic of Russia dominated mostly by Kadets and Right SRs.
Primary Stage Socialism is still very young in this world and revolutionary parties have only been successful in the Global South. During the alternate Cold War, the western bloc was primarily fighting the Eurasian Pact of the Greater White Movement and gave military assistance to any allies it could find from the PRC to India to Iraq. Only after the main phase of the Cold War ended did the US and NATO begin to turn against these countries.

Below is Sun Bofu’s translation of He Qi’s SGZ from the now deceased Empire Divided site. I have made no alterations or corrections.
He Qi styled Gongmiao was a man from Shanyin in Kuaiji. {1} When he was young he served as a minor government official and defended Yan Zhang. There was a county official, Si Cong, who’s actions were villainous. [He] Qi desired to control his acitons. Zhu Bo admonished saying, “Cong comes from a large tribe and the Shanyue are very close to here. Today we could harness him but tomorrow morning the bandits would come.” [He] Qi heard this and was very angry. He quickly beheaded [Si] Cong. [Si] Cong’s clan and family united and raised several thousand troops to attack the district. [He] Qi led the magistrates people to the gates then suddenly attacked. He greatly routed them and took Zhenshan and more. Later people on the Fuchun river rose up in rebellion. [He Qi] moved to defend Mo Zheng. He punished the evil and supported the good. Within a month he had pacified the rebellion.
1. Yuyu Jin: The “He” clan was originall the “Qing” clan. [He] Qi’s uncle, [He] Chun was a Confucian scholar and had rank. During the reign of the Han Emperor Andi he served as a Palace Attendent and the Grand Adminstrator of Jiang Xia. When he left office he avoided Andi and changed his surname to He. [He] Qi’s father assisted him.
In the 1st year of Jian An [196], Sun Ce approached his district and nominated [He] Qi as Filial Pious and Incorrupt. At this time Wang Lang fled to Dongye and Shang Sheng rose troops to serve him in Houguan. [Sun] Ce had the Chief of Yongning, Han Yan, become the commandant of the south and prepare troops to punish [Shang] Sheng. [Han] Yan was defeated by [Shang] Sheng. [He] Qi replaced [Han] Yan and received the commandant affairs. [Shang] Sheng feared [He] Qi’s power and position and sent an envoy to beg for an alliance. [He] Qi agreed and [Shang] Sheng came out to receive his seal. The bandit commanders Zhang Ya and Zhan Qiang did not surrender with [Shang] Sheng. They rebelled together and killed [Shang] Sheng. [Zhang] Ya called himself the Supreme General and [Zhan] Qiang called himself the Grand Administrator of Kuaiji. The rebel soldiers were too few so [He] Qi used his army to stop them. [Zhang] Ya gave some power to his son-in-law He Qiong to cause trouble. [He] Qi then sent a messenger to gain the help of the Shanyue people. The Shanyue agreed to help. [He] Qi then advanced to punish them. In one battle he greatly defeated [Zhang] Ya. [Zhan] Qiang’s faction was very frightened and led their whole force to surrender.
With Houguan already pacified, Jian An, Han Xing, and Nan Ping feel into disorder in the 8th year [203]. [He] Qi led his soldiers to Jian An to set up his headquarters. The families of the region gathered 5,000 soldiers and came to recieve [He] Qi. At this time 5 bandits, Hong Ming, Hong Jin, Yuan Yu, Wu Mian, and Hua Dang, led 10,000 households to station in Han Xing. Wu Wu’s 6,000 households departed to station in Daitan. Zuo Lin’s 6,000 households departed to relocate in Gaizhu. Together they came out to Yuhan. The new drew great concern. The army was sent on a punitive expedition to Han Xing and Yuhan. [He] Qi believed that the bandit’s soldiers were very few. He penetrated them but did not continue. He sent a decree to the Songyang Chief, Ding Fan, to prepare to attack Yuhan. [Ding] Fan came together with [He] Qi and granted him the adjacent cities. When he saw the army he was shamed and was no longer willing.. [He] Qi then beheaded [Ding] Fan. Thereupon the army trembled with fear and there were no more problems. He then divided the troops to stop and prepare. He advanced to punish [Hong] Ming and greatly routed him. He approached and beheaded [Hong] Ming. [Wu] Mian, [Hua] Dang, [Hong] Jin, and [Yuan] Yu all came to surrender. He moved to attack Gaizhu as well as Daitan and their generals came to surrender. All in all he captured and beheaded 6,000 men. He returned and set up a new district and all in all gained 10,000 soldiers. He paid his respects and was granted the rank of Colonel Who Pacifies the East. In the 10th year [205] he punished the bandits at ShangRao and created a new district.
In the 13th year [208], he was promoted to become Central General of the Household Who Dominates Martially. He went to punish the Yi and Xi people of Danyang. When the four counties, Wu Qiang, Xie Xiang, Dong Yang, and Feng Pu surrendered, He Qi reorganized them into a new district. Later, a Xi bandit commander, Jin Qi, stationed on Anle Mountain with 10,000 families. Mao Gan led 10,000 families to station on Wuliao mountain. The Yi commanders Chen Pu and Zu Shan took 20,000 families to station on linli mountain. Linli mountain had 4 flat sides and was several tens of Zhang {T1} high. There was one narrow and dangerous path to the top but it’s appearance what that of a knife. If they tried to come up the bandits would drop rocks. [He Qi] thus couldn’t attack them. [He] Qi went around the mountain and observed a weak spot. He recruited a band of light soldiers to serve to scale the mountain using arrows and ropes. They came to a part of the mountain that was not defended. They used the halberd to climb the mountain and circumnavigate the path. Those who went up first lowered cloth lines to those beneth. Thus several hundred men got to the top. The soldiers spread out all around the bandits then [He] Qi had them beat the drums. The bandits heard the drums in the night from all sides and they knew that the other army was already at the top. They became very frightened and fell into confusion. They didn’t know where to serve and tried to guard the path. [He Qi advanced] and greatly routed [Chen] Pu. All his men surrendered and 7,000 were beheaded. {1} [He] Qi returned to govern the newly conquered lands of Liyang, Xiuyang, Bingyi, Xi and others. [Sun] Quan then divided the land into a new Xindu prefecture and made He Qi the Grand Administrator. He set up his headquarters in Shixin and was promoted to become Lieutenant General.
1. Baopu Zi: Originally Wu dispatched General He to punish the Mountain Bandits, the official army used swords and daggers but could not prevail. Later they shot arrows out in the right direction but could not gain an advantage. General He thought about this then said,“????????,??????,?????,????,??????????????,?????????”???????,???????????,?????????????,??????????????,???????,??????”
T1 – A Zhang is roughly 3.3 meters, however the actual length varied over the course of history.
In the 16th year [211], there was an uprising under Lang Zhi in the eastern protion of Wujun numbering several thousand. [He] Qi came out to punish him and greatly routed [Lang] Zhi. {1}[He Qi] won great merit and [Sun] Quan rewarded him. {2}He gave him a great carriage and an excellent steed.
1. Wu Lu: Jin [region] was changed to serve as Linan.
2. Wu Shu: [Sun] Quan told [He] Qi, “Now is the time to conquer all the land under heaven. The capitol is in the center of China. We send tribute such as ????,?????”??:“???????,????,?????,???????,????,?????,??????????,????,????,?????”
In the 18th year [213], the people of Pengcai, Liyu, and Wanghai in the eastern portion of Yuzhang rose up in rebellion and created chaos with over 10,000 people. [He] Qi punished and pacified the them, beheading their leader. All the others surrendered. He Qi always picked the strongest and best fit soldiers to help defend his regions. He was promoted to be General Who Exerts Himself Martially.
In the 20th year [215], he followed [Sun] Quan to attack He Fei. At one point the enemy came out of the castle to do battle. Xu Sheng lost his position but [He] Qi used his soldiers to ward off the attack, thus he compensated for [Xu] Sheng’s failure. {1}
1. Jiang Biao Zhuan: [Sun] QUan again attacked He Fei. Zhang Liao launched an ambush north of the ferry. It was extremely dangerous. He Qi had 3,000 troops on the southern bank to greet [Sun] QUan. Sun Quan gave a feast aboard one of his warships. He Qi got down from his mat and wept and said, "Your honour is a ruler of men. You should always be heavily guarded. In today's affair, when you almost came to misfortune, your servants were fearful as if Heaven and Earth were falling. We beg you to take this as warning for a lifetime." Sun Quan came forward and wiped his tears for him, saying, "I am grateful and ashamed. Caution is now engraved on my heart, not just written on a girdle."
In the 21st year [216], a Poyang leader You Tu received a seal from Duke Cao and then used his people to rise in rebellion. The people of Lingyang, Shian, and Jingxian all followed him. [He] Qi and Lu Xun punish and defeat [You] Tu and behead several thousand. The rest all greatly fear them and the three Danyang counties surrender. From this they gained 8,000 soldiers. [He Qi] pays respect and is appointed the General Who Tranquilizes the East and conferred as the Marquis of Fengshan yin. He was also given command of the Yangtze defences in Lu Jiang.In the beginning of Huang Chu Wei sent Cao Xiu on a campaign against Wu. [He] Qi was far away and arrived late. His presence warded off Cao Xiu. Earlier the generals assembled at Dongkou had lost many men due to a strong gale. They falsely accused [He] Qi of not assisting as his forces had not crossed the river and stayed on one side just to keep his force intact. Various generals then depended on his force.
[He] Qi by nature was extravagant and elegant and had particularly good soldiers. His soldiers’s armor and weapons was of the highest quality. His ships had elaborate inlays and carvings. He eventually became the General of the Rear and gained the Staff of Authority of the Governership of Xuzhou.
Initially Jin Zong served as a Xiakou General. He used his force to rebel to Wei. In Wei he served as the Grand Administrator of Qichun. He would raid AnLe. [Sun] Quan got very angry and sent soldiers to stop this. After 6 months, he sent [He] Qi to lead Mi Fang and Xianyu Dan to attack Qichun. He thereupon captured [Jin] Zong. After 4 years he died. His son [He] Da and his younger brother [He] Jing inherited his rank. {1}
1. Kuaji Dianlue: [He] Jing served as the Colonel Who Exterminates Bandits. He had strict plicies but he was also kind. The soldiers loved him. He died young. His son [He] Zhi reached the position of General of the Fierce Tigers. His other son [He] Shao also gained rank.

Vừa khánh thành từ cuối tháng 3, Bảo tàng Nghệ thuật Phật giáo trưng bày 100 tượng Phật cùng nhiều hiện vật khác kể lại những thăng trầm trong lịch sử Phật giáo. Trưởng đặc khu hành chính Hong Kong, Carrie Lam, cho rằng bộ sưu tập vô giá với những pho tượng Phật, tranh vẽ hay điêu khắc tại bảo tàng không chỉ đại diện cho những lý tưởng trong phái Thiền tông, mà còn là cơ sở phát triển nhiều hoạt động và chương trình văn hóa. “Tu viện và bảo tàng sẽ là không gian yên tĩnh để người dân và du khách tĩnh tâm, trân trọng nghệ thuật Phật giáo”, bà Lam nói trong lễ khánh thành bảo tàng. Hầu hết hiện vật do ông Lý và tổ chức từ thiện của ông đóng góp. Ảnh: CK Hutchinson Holdings Ltd. Bảo tàng Nghệ thuật Phật giáo bắt đầu đón khách tham quan từ 1/5, vào cửa tự do. Lý Gia Thành có nhiều năm tham gia các hoạt động thiện nguyện, góp hàng triệu USD cho các trường đại học và bệnh viện khắp Đông Á và Bắc Mỹ.

However, the corresponding method for data analysis has never been discussed in detail. Recently, two TOF detectors have been installed at CSRe and the new working mode of the ring is under test. In this paper, a data analysis method for this mode is introduced and tested with a series of simulations. The results show that the new IMS method can significantly improve mass resolving power via the additional velocity information of stored ions. This improvement is especially important for nuclides with Lorentz factor $\gamma$-value far away from the transition point $\gamma _t$ of the storage ring CSRe.
