(2) The national Gini coefficient demonstrates a persistent decline at all levels. Subregional variations include: the Eastern region showing the steepest decline; the Northeastern region displaying an increasing trend; the Western region experiencing slight growth in urban areas but minor declines in aggregate and rural measures; and the Central region recording a marginal aggregate decrease alongside continuous rises in urban/rural disparities. These results underscore pronounced interprovincial heterogeneity in cultural diversity distribution. (3) Spatial autocorrelation analysis identifies intensifying clustering patterns, with the Western region forming “high-high” clusters and the Eastern region exhibiting “low-low” agglomerations. (4) Interregional connectivity, as quantified by the gravity model, grows increasingly complex and dense, ultimately evolving into a C-shaped strong linkage network spanning northern-western-southern China. This study provides empirical insights for fostering ethnic cultural integration and supporting China’s cultural power strategy.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fhumd.2025.1607564 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fhumd.2025.1607564 <![CDATA[Facing crisis: how Ecuador's energy shortages threaten public health]]> 2025-09-02T00:00:00Z Opinion Esteban Ortiz-PradoAndrés López-CortésIsaac A.
