What does it mean to be Chinese?

China data from IIASA (food balance, etc.) [International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis]
4 Sept
Downloaded DCW layers (to c:\) for Japan, North Korea, South Korea from http://www.maproom.psu.edu/cgi-bin/dcw/dcwarea.cgi?Asia... and I've made the basic maps in c:\japan c:\northkorea c:\southkorea ...and the China layers are 'on order'. This greatly improves the possibilities for Anth230's mapping.
In addition the 'county 1990' in c:\hartwell may solve the problem of the odd projection of the GWS maps... but I can't figure out why I can't JOIN the two .dbf files. Turns out that the supposed administrative numbers aren't quite the same...
I seem to have found the RIVERS layer in decimal degrees, via ftp://ftpserver.ciesin.org/pub/data/China/DC_China/. The results are in c:\china\river2 (China only) and c:\china\rivers1 (East Asia) [c:\china\decdegr.apr] ...and ppchina21 (still zipped until I figure out what it is... .nbj files?) from ftp://ftpserver.ciesin.org/pub/data/China/poli/acca21/ (Priority Programme for China's Agenda 21)
Here's what it says about coordinates: "COORDINATE SYSTEM All coverages are in LAMBERT CONFORMAL CONIC PROJECTION with two standard parallel latitudes: 25.00N and 47.00N. The central meridian is 110.00E and the latitude of projection's origin is 10.00N. The units are meters." (ftp://ftpserver.ciesin.org/pub/data/China/adm_bnd/CTSAR90.bnd9071/Readme7.txt) --BUT when I grabbed Hebei it STILL comes in without decimal degrees. I can't see how to return a projected map to decimal degrees, or how to align a layer in decimal degrees with one in another coordinate system.
