  • Shanghai, China's Capital of Modernity
    SHANGHAI, CHINA’S CAPITAL OF MODERNITY: THE PRODUCTION OF SPACE AND URBAN EXPERIENCE OF WORLD EXPO 2010 by GARY PUI FUNG WONG A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOHPY School of Government and Society Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham February 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines Shanghai’s urbanisation by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theories of the production of space and everyday life. A review of Lefebvre’s theories indicates that each mode of production produces its own space. Capitalism is perpetuated by producing new space and commodifying everyday life. Applying Lefebvre’s regressive-progressive method as a methodological framework, this thesis periodises Shanghai’s history to the ‘semi-feudal, semi-colonial era’, ‘socialist reform era’ and ‘post-socialist reform era’. The Shanghai World Exposition 2010 was chosen as a case study to exemplify how urbanisation shaped urban experience. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. This thesis argues that Shanghai developed a ‘state-led/-participation mode of production’.

  • Integrating Chinese and Western Pursuit of Excellence
    2021 4th International Workshop on Advances in Social Sciences (IWASS 2021) Integrating Chinese and Western Pursuit of Excellence Jing Zeng1, Huijun Shen2 1Arts College of Sichuan University, PhD student 2College of Forestry, Sichuan Agricultural University, Wenjiang 611130, China Keywords: Shanghai furniture, Chinese and western combination, “innovation and progress” Abstract: “ShangHai furniture” was born under the combined effect of the localization of Western-style furniture and the westernization of faithful furniture. It is the most representative fusion of China and the West. This article analyzes the contribution of “Shanghai style furniture” to the fusion of Chinese and Western furniture and its positive effect on China's modern furniture innovation based on the four stages of “Shanghai style furniture”: “germination”, “development”, “rejuvenation” and “innovation”. 1. Introduction ShangHai furniture is the product of ShangHai culture, which generally refers to the combination of Chinese and Western style furniture. It is a combination of the advantages of Western-style furniture. During the Republic of China, the beach was born and the place where all the nations came together, thus forming this vast and profound furniture. Shanghai style furniture is the product of the collision between Chinese and Western cultures, and it is partially integrated, so it has dual characteristics of Chinese and Western cultures. Although it is ordinary daily necessities, it is the bearer of China's historical culture. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has firmly believed in the idea of “harmony and difference” and “tolerance is greater”. Among the furniture, no one can better interpret the harmony culture than Shanghai furniture. Therefore, since its birth, it has become the spokesperson for the fusion of Chinese and Western furniture.

Claremont McKenna College Tapping the Potential of Sports: Incentives in China’s Reformation of the Sports Industry Submitted to Professor Minxin Pei by Yu Fu for Senior Thesis Spring 2017 April 24, 2017 2 Abstract Since the 2010s, China’s sports industry has undergone comprehensive reforms. This paper attempts to understand this change of direction from the central state’s perspective. By examining the dynamics of the basketball and soccer markets, it discovers that while the deregulation of basketball is a result of persistent bottom-up effort from the private sector, the recentralization of soccer is a state-led policy change. Notwithstanding the different nature and routes between these reforms, in both sectors, the state’s aim is to restore and strengthen its legitimacy within the society. Amidst China’s economic stagnation, the regime hopes to identify sectors that can drive sustainable growth, and to make adjustments to its bureaucracy as a way to respond to the society’s mounting demand for political modernization.

  • Shanghai Project Envision 2116 September 4, 2016 – July 30, 2017
    Shanghai Project Envision 2116 September 4, 2016 – July 30, 2017 The inaugural edition of the Shanghai Project, Envision 2116, will launch the first of its two phases on September 4. Under the co-artistic directorship of Yongwoo Lee, Executive Director of Shanghai Himalayas Museum, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of Serpentine Galleries London, the first edition of Shanghai Project focuses on public engagement through event-based programming, as well as exhibitions, public works, an open call platform, a pop–up library, community participation programs and international conferences. As one of the highlights of Phase 1, the Envision Pavilion, designed by Sou Fujimoto, will open to the public on September 4 at the Shanghai Himalayas Center. The structure, with a 670 square meter footprint, is a hybrid space composed of industrial scaffolding grids, glass and trees, combining notions of inside/outside, natural/man-made, organic/geometric and building/beyond-building. It serves as a symbolic center of the Shanghai Project. For the full duration of the Shanghai Project, the Envision Pavilion acts as a site for lectures, panels, workshops, seminars, performances and film screenings in the event space, as well as exhibitions in its gallery space and social gatherings in its café. In the gallery space, the audience will encounter Cildo Meireles‘s installation Ku Kka Ka Kka as well as Xu Bing‘s work from his series Background Story, and Jenova Chen‘s video game, Journey. Further, the pavilion will host Landversation, a series of performances developed by Otobong Nkanga and her team. Also in the event space, visitors will find the “Shanghai Project Pop-Up Library of the Future,” launched in collaboration with the renowned Shanghai Jifeng Bookstore.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SHANGHAI INDUSTRIAL JOINS HANDS WITH CHOW TAI FOOK FOR QINGPU LAND DEVELOPMENT AND FOUR SEASONS HOTEL SHANGHAI OPERATION, ENHANCING BRANDING, QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS (February 27, 2011 – HONG KONG) Shanghai Industrial Holdings Limited (“SIHL”, stock code: 363) announced an agreement with Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (“CTF”) for the sale of 90% equity interests in Feng Tao and Feng Shun BVI companies -- holding Lot F and Lot G respectively of Qingpu landbank, and about 77% equity interests of Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai, with considerations of RMB1,131 million (approximately HK$1,334 million), RMB1,305 million (approximately HK$1,539 million) and HK$1,168 million respectively. Upon completion of the three transactions, SIHL will receive total cash proceeds of HK$3,526 million after deducting tax expenses, and after-tax exceptional gain of HK$2,867 million. SIHL chairman Teng Yilong said that the agreement leads to the introduction of Chow Tai Fook of Hong Kong as strategic partner for the Qingpu development project in Shanghai, and New World Development, the renowned brand in China, as commissioned entity for planning and development. Such win-win cooperation would enhance the branding and quality of the Qingpu development project, said Mr Teng. For the sizeable landbank at Qingpu, SIHL adopts the two-thronged approach of both sole development and joint development with strategic partners as the company joins hands with CTF to develop about a quarter of the Qingpu landbank, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the project development. On the overall company level, added Mr Teng, the transactions help optimize the company’s property assets portfolio, increase its cash holdings – ready for merger and acquisition activities for its core businesses, and enhance the company’s earnings and returns on assets.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.
