    Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong by Cecilia Louise Chu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor C. Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.

Mitchell. The work presented in this thesis is the result of original research carried out by my- self, in collaboration with others, whilst enrolled in the Information Security Group, Department of Mathematics, Royal Holloway, University of London as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The research presented in Chapter 5 is my own work, although I received many constructive comments from Liqun Chen and Chris J. Mitchell. The results presented in Chapter 6 are joint work with Raphael Phan. The weaknesses described in Section 6.4 of the SSB Scheme were jointly identi¯ed by both of us, while the suggested solutions in Section 6.5 are my work. The results in Chapter 7 and 8 were research carried out by myself with constructive comments from Chris J Mitchell. The protocol described in Chapter 9 was jointly developed with Geong Sen Poh. However, the idea to use trusted computing to solve the problem was mine. This work has not been submitted for any other degree or award in any other uni- versity or educational establishment.

However, this bleak scenario did not materialise. The aim of this paper is to analyse the reasons behind this longevity – mainly, during the first decade-and-a-half of Mao Zedong’s regime, when the leadership of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) held officially to a rather strong revolutionary, anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist posture. Resumo Aquando da iminente tomada de poder pelo Partido Comunista Chinês (PCC) na China Continental em 1949, os decisores portugueses em Macau e em Portugal temeram pelo colapso do exíguo enclave e a precipitação do princípio do fim do império portu- guês.

    TAX REFERENCE LIBRARY NO 96 China Looking Ahead 4th edition China – Looking Ahead 4 Foreword Khoonming Ho, tax partner in charge of China and Hong Kong SAR, KPMG China. 7 BEPS: China makes its mark on global tax rules and strengthens international tax enforcement The China implications of the BEPS 2014 deliverables, and the parallel development of other tools for firmer international tax enforcement, are the focus of this article by Chris Xing, Lewis Lu, Sam Fan and Vincent Pang of KPMG China. 15 Rising to the occasion – Mounting transfer pricing activity shines spotlight on China The OECD’s BEPS 2014 deliverables brought China’s key transfer pricing issues to the centre of the international stage. Cheng Chi, Ho-Yin Leung, Kelly Liao and Simon Liu of KPMG China analyse how China is leveraging BEPS to support new transfer pricing measures, ramping up anti- avoidance efforts through targeted investigations and encouraging taxpayer self-adjustments. 24 Created in China: The fast pace of innovation, R&D incentives and economic development Though R&D tax incentives are attractive in China, multinational companies should remember that, in return, the authorities expect more than routine work to be carried out, explain Alan Garcia, Bin Yang, Josephine Jiang, and William Zhang of KPMG China. 32 VAT reforms in China – In the eye of the storm Modernisation, the ability for foreign entities to register for VAT and consolidation / grouping rules are just some of the things on the wish-list of Lachlan Wolfers, Shirley Shen, John Wang and Karmen Yeung, of KPMG China, as the VAT reforms continue to take shape.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Portugal and the Settlement of the Macau Question, 1984- 1999: Pragmatism in International Negotiations This thesis examines the manner in which the Portuguese Government formulated and implemented its negotiating strategy for the settlement of the Macau question with the People’s Republic of China. The analysis is supported by theories of international negotiations. In addition to providing a detailed account of Portugal’s negotiating strategy, the study highlights the impact that the Sino-British negotiations on Hong Kong had on the Sino-Portuguese negotiations. It also argues that the Portuguese side was mostly reactive: for domestic reasons, a key objective was to ensure that Macau’s treatment was not worse than Hong Kong’s, and in particular to ensure that Macau’s transfer happened after Hong Kong.

  • Cultural Revolution
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST by Lynn White Autumn 2000 Edition This will be available on the web at Lynn's homepage: http://www.wws.princeton.edu/~lynn/Chinabib.pdf, which can be viewed and printed with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Variant font sizes cause pagination of the web version to differ slightly from the paper edition. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of the seminars WWS 576a/Pol. 536 on "Chinese Development" and Pol. 535 on "Chinese Politics," as well as the lecture course, Pol. 362, for which students may find books to review in this long list; --to provide graduate students with a list that can help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this, because some such books may be old or the subjects may not be central to present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan. Students with research topics should definitely meet the WWS Librarian in Wallace and Rosemary Little in Firestone. For materials in Chinese and other languages, see Martin Heijdra in Gest Library. Professional bibliographers are the most neglected major academic resource at Princeton. Visit them! This list cannot cover articles, but computer databases do so, and the librarians know them.
