  • Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018
    Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities.

  • Au Bord De L'eau
    Au bord de l'eau Au bord de l'eau (chinois simplifié : 水浒传 ; chinois traditionnel : 水滸傳 ; pinyin : Shuǐ hǔ Zhuàn ; Wade : Shui³ hu³ Zhuan⁴, EFEO Chouei-hou tchouan, littéralement « Le Récit e des berges ») est un roman d'aventures tiré de la tradition orale chinoise, compilé et écrit par plusieurs auteurs, mais attribué généralement à Shi Nai'an (XIV siècle). Il relate les Au bord de l'eau exploits de cent huit bandits, révoltés contre la corruption du gouvernement et des hauts fonctionnaires de la cour de l'empereur. Auteur Shi Nai'an Ce roman fait partie des quatre grands romans classiques de la dynastie Ming, avec l'Histoire des Trois Royaumes, La Pérégrination vers l'Ouest et Le Rêve dans le Pavillon Rouge. Pays Chine Sa notoriété est telle que de nombreuses versions ont été rédigées. On peut comparer sa place dans la culture chinoise à celle des Trois Mousquetaires d'Alexandre Dumas en France, Genre roman ou des aventures de Robin des Bois en Angleterre. L'ouvrage est la source d'innombrables expressions littéraires ou populaires, et de nombreux personnages ou passages du livre servent à symboliser des caractères ou des situations (comme Lin Chong, seul dans la neige, pour dépeindre la rectitude face à l'adversité, ou Li Kui, irascible et violent mais dévoué à Version originale sa mère impotente, pour signaler un homme dont les défauts évidents masquent des qualités cachées). On retrouve, souvent sous forme de pastiche, des scènes connues dans des Langue chinois vernaculaire publicités, des dessins animés, des clips vidéo. L'illustration de moments classiques de l'ouvrage est très fréquente en peinture.

  • Did Government Decentralization Cause China's Economic Miracle?
    Did government decentralization cause China’s economic miracle? a b Hongbin Cai Daniel Treisman Many scholars attribute China’s remarkable economic performance since 1978 in part to the country’s political and fiscal decentralization. Political decentralization is said to have stimulated local policy experiments and restrained predatory central interventions. Fiscal decentralization is thought to have motivated local officials to promote development and harden enterprises’ budget constraints. The locally diversified structure of the pre- reform economy is said to have facilitated liberalization. We examine these arguments and find that none establishes a convincing link between decentralization and China’s successes. We suggest an alternative view of the reform process, in which growth-enhancing policies emerged from competition between pro- and anti-market factions in Beijing. a Department of Economics, University of California, Los Angeles b Department of Political Science, University of California, Los Angeles, 4289 Bunche Hall, Los Angeles CA 90095-1472 March 2006 We thank Richard Baum, Tom Bernstein, Dorothy Solinger, Bo Li, Dali Yang, Li-An Zhou, and James Tong for comments and suggestions. 1 Introduction What roles have political and fiscal decentralization played in China’s economic reforms and in the remarkable boom they fostered? Since the late 1970s, China has liberalized most prices, de- collectivized agriculture, and integrated into world markets. These changes fueled an unprecedented period of growth, with GDP per capita rising from $674 in 1978 to $5,085 in 2004 (in PPP-adjusted 2000 dollars).1 Scholars have attributed this economic miracle to many causes— recovery from the Cultural Revolution, initial underdevelopment, and a rich diaspora, to name a few.

  • The Water Margin Podcast. This Is Episode 54. Last Time, Song Jiang
    Welcome to the Water Margin Podcast. This is episode 54. Last time, Song Jiang and his two guards narrowly escaped becoming soylent green in a black tavern and ended up befriending that tavern keeper and his gang of smuggler buddies. Then, farther down the road, they unknowingly ran afoul of some local bullies and found themselves fleeing said bullies at night. Fortunately, they found a boat to ferry them across the Sundown River, leaving their pursuers behind. Unfortunately, the boat stopped in the middle of the river, and the boatman, a guy who called himself Zhang, demanded that they either submit themselves to his blade or drown themselves in the roaring river. Song Jiang begged and pleaded, offering to give the guy all their money and clothes, but the guy was like, “Well, I’m going to get all that anyway. So hurry up and get naked and jump into the water already.” Things were not looking good. Caught between death by stabbing or death by drowning, Song Jiang and his guards picked the latter. Clutching each other, they were just about to jump when suddenly, they heard the sound of water splashing. They turned and saw another boat speeding toward them from upriver. In the boat stood three men. One of them stood at the head of the boat with a pitchfork in hand, while the other two were in the back, rowing hard. Before you knew it, they were near Song Jiang’s boat. “Who is that boatman over there?” the man at the head of the oncoming boat shouted.

Einleitung Im November 2002 wird die Kommunistische Partei Chinas eine Ära des Übergangs in der chinesischen Politik zu einem vorläufigen Abschluss bringen. Unabhängig davon, wie weit sich die Führungsspitze um den Generalsekretär der KPC und Staatspräsiden- ten Jiang Zemin, Premierminister Zhu Rongji und den Vorsitzenden des Nationalen Volkskongresses Li Peng aus der tatsächlichen Entscheidungsfindung zurückziehen wird, lässt sich das Ende einer Phase der chinesischen Politik konstatieren, in der wich- tige neue Reformschritte eingeleitet und umgesetzt wurden. Ein zentrales Vorhaben der 1990er Jahre war die Suche nach einer Modernisierung des Staats- und Parteiapparates, die die Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Fortführung der wirtschaftlichen und gesell- schaftlichen Modernisierung sowie für eine erfolgreiche Integration der VR China in die Weltwirtschaftsordnung bilden sollte.

Given the rarity of studies on Hainan Island, especially in the fields of politics and economics, as well as on its recent development, this book represents a major contribution.
