Under his command, many Western books and periodicals were translated into Chinese, and researches were made to gather information about the West, including military, political and economic situations, the Westerners' views of China, general knowledge of the Western countries, the International Law and military technologies. He also proceeded to learn and import Western techonologies, such as setting up hundreds of Western cannons at the forts of Humen and purchasing Western warships with high firepower. These armaments played an important role in the subsequent battles against the British. Lin Zexu opened up a new route for the Chinese to develop a global vision and to learn from the West. His undertakings played a significant role in the historical development of modern China. i ' :: ^ On Zexu, theJDpium War " Hong Kong 18- 19-12-1998 n' "" "" "" " " ' Lin Zexu's Vision of the Oceans and Hong Kong (Translation) YANG Guozhen As a prominent provincial official of the Qing government, Lin Zexu's behaviour always adhered to the "system of the Celestial Empire". Since he was born in a coastal province and had spent large part of his life administering the coastal regions of China, the "minor tradition" of maritime development had exerted a subtle influence over his vision of the oceans. Economically, he had learnt to "view the ocean as farmland" and paid close attention to its development. His approbation of the belief in Mazu the Sea Goddess reflects some kind of bond existing between him and the maritime culture. He extended his vision beyond the oceans, made endeavours to search for Western knowledge and came in contact with some aspects of the Western maritime economy.

  • An Analysis of the Sustainable Development of Macau Associations Lou Shenghua (Pp
    Administração n.º 100, vol. XXVI, 2013-2.º, 539-543 539 Challenge and Reform: An Analysis of the Sustainable Development of Macau Associations Lou Shenghua (pp. 379) In social and political sense, Macau can be referred to as “an associa- tional society”. Since its handover to China, Macau has witnessed a rapid growth in the quantity and density of well-structured and multi-function associations. Unlike general non-profit organizations, associations in Macau are indispensable components of the society. However, the development of as- sociations in Macau is facing increasing challenges due to drastic changes in Macau’s political, economic and social environment. In order to develop in a sustainable way in the future, Macau associations need to reform in the fol- lowing aspects: repositioning and improving service to a professional standard, reinforcing their internal democratic management and institution building, attracting and cultivating more talents, strengthening self-discipline, and en- hancing transparency and credibility. A Review of the Implementation and Planning of Macau Public Finance in Recent Years Chua Yee Hong (pp. 403) Macau’s rapidly growth rate in this decade has attracted great attention of other Asian countries. Its per capita GDP has arisen from $15,987 in 2002 to $66,311 dollars in 2011. As a highly opening-capitalism economy, Macau is facing several limitations due to the regional economic conditions and the volatility of international raw material price. Meanwhile Macau’s relationship with Hong Kong and Mainland China is even closer, with closer exchange rate policy and monetary policy toward Hong Kong and economic policy toward Mainland China.

  • Special Issue Taiwan and Ireland In
    TAIWAN IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE Taiwan in Comparative Perspective is the first scholarly journal based outside Taiwan to contextualize processes of modernization and globalization through interdisciplinary studies of significant issues that use Taiwan as a point of comparison. The primary aim of the Journal is to promote grounded, critical, and contextualized analysis in English of economic, political, societal, and environmental change from a cultural perspective, while locating modern Taiwan in its Asian and global contexts. The history and position of Taiwan make it a particularly interesting location from which to examine the dynamics and interactions of our globalizing world. In addition, the Journal seeks to use the study of Taiwan as a fulcrum for discussing theoretical and methodological questions pertinent not only to the study of Taiwan but to the study of cultures and societies more generally. Thereby the rationale of Taiwan in Comparative Perspective is to act as a forum and catalyst for the development of new theoretical and methodological perspectives generated via critical scrutiny of the particular experience of Taiwan in an increasingly unstable and fragmented world.

  • Cultural Aspects of Sustainability Challenges of Island-Like Territories: Case Study of Macau, China
    Ecocycles 2016 Scientific journal of the European Ecocycles Society Ecocycles 1(2): 35-45 (2016) ISSN 2416-2140 DOI: 10.19040/ecocycles.v1i2.37 ARTICLE Cultural aspects of sustainability challenges of island-like territories: case study of Macau, China Ivan Zadori Faculty of Culture, Education and Regional Development, University of Pécs E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Sustainability challenges and reactions are not new in the history of human communities but there is a substantial difference between the earlier periods and the present situation: in the earlier periods of human history sustainability depended on the geographic situation and natural resources, today the economic performance and competitiveness are determinative instead of the earlier factors. Economic, social and environmental situations that seem unsustainable could be manageable well if a given land or territory finds that market niche where it could operate successfully, could generate new diversification paths and could create products and services that are interesting and marketable for the outside world. This article is focusing on the sustainability challenges of Macau, China. The case study shows how this special, island-like territory tries to find balance between the economic, social and environmental processes, the management of the present cultural supply and the way that Macau creates new cultural products and services that could be competitive factors in the next years. Keywords - Macau, sustainability, resources, economy, environment, competitiveness

Hong Tiangui Fu had been killed. Hong, divine leader of the once nascent kingdom and son of the Heavenly Kingdom’s founder, was asked to confess before his execution, making him one of the last figures to speak directly on behalf of the Qing’s most formidable opposition. The movement Hong had inherited was couched in anti-Manchu sentiment, pseudo-Marxist thought, and a distinct, unorthodox, Christian vision.

Standing on a hill, looking northward across the city toward the Yangzi, he might have decried the masts of more than seventy British ships anchored in a thick nest on the river, or perhaps have noticed the strange shapes of the four armored steamships that, contrary to expecta- tions, had successfully penetrated the treacherous lower stretches of China's main waterway. Might have seen this, indeed, except that his view most likely would have been screened by the black clouds of smoke swirling up from one, then two, then three of the city's five gates, as fire spread to the guardtowers atop them. His ears dinned by the report of rifle and musket fire and the roar of cannon and rockets, he would scarcely have heard the sounds of panic as townsmen, including his own relatives and friends, screamed to be allowed to leave the city, whose gates had been held shut since the week before by order of the commander of * An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Manchu Studies (Manzokushi kenkyùkai) at Meiji University, Tokyo, in November 1988.

  • XIV. Trade and Sectoral Impacts of the Global Financial Crisis – a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
    281 XIV. Trade and sectoral impacts of the global financial crisis – a dynamic computable general equilibrium analysis By Anna Strutt and Terrie Walmsley Introduction The current global financial crisis has resulted in a significant downturn in the global economy. Although there have recently been signs that the worst of the crisis may be over, the global economy remains fragile, with much uncertainty remaining (International Monetary Fund, 2009b; World Trade Organization, 2009a). Meanwhile, the impacts of the crisis continue to be felt throughout the world. This chapter uses a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to explore some of the effects of two different crisis scenarios, with particular focus on trade and sectoral impacts in ESCAP member countries. The potential impacts of the recent tendency to move toward greater protection of domestic industries are also analysed. Computable general equilibrium models have some limitations in their ability to analyse the current financial crisis; however, they have been used to generate insights into the impacts of previous economic crises (e.g., Anderson and Strutt, 1999; McKibbin and others, 2001; Siriwardana and Iddamalgoda, 2003). Some efforts to model the current crisis have also been made, including through the use of comparative static versions of the well-known Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model (Jongwanich and others, 2009; Strutt, 2009). The current study uses GDyn, a dynamic global CGE model, developed by Ianchovichina and McDougall (2000), based on the GTAP model (Hertel, 1997).1 The GDyn model incorporates most features of the GTAP model, including bilateral trade flows, a sophisticated consumer demand function and intersectoral factor mobility.

This article explores the changing historical referents that Qing officials used in arguing for the extension of direct governance to the empire’s frontier regions from the sto the s. In the s, Shen Baozhen and Zuo Zongtang made the case for a change of governance on Taiwan and in Xinjiang respectively by reference to past Chinese frontier management. However, in the first decade of the twentieth century Cen Chunxuan and Yao Xiguang both referred to the European past, and specifically the history of European colonialism, to argue for reform of frontier policy in Mongolia. I argue that this shift was a result of both the empire’s altered political circum- stances and a growing belief in the inevitability of an evolutionary fate which awaited nomadic peoples, who were destined to be colonized. Yet this was not a case of Chinese thinkers simply adopting European ideas and perspectives wholesale. The adoption of European historical referents was entangled with Han Chinese perceptions of Mongolian populations which had been carefully culti- vated by the Manchu Qing state.
