  • 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.

  • Exploring the Legal System of Foreign Investment in Shenzhen Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone
    2018 7th International Conference on Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (SSEHR 2018) Exploring the Legal System of Foreign Investment in Shenzhen Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone Chen Hua China Center for Special Economic Zone Research, Shenzhen University Shenzhen WTO Affairs Center Keywords: autonomous region; appearance investment; first test; legal system Abstract: At present, there are still certain problems in the formulation of foreign investment laws in the Free Trade Zone. For example, the investment rule standard has not been perfected, and the dispute settlement mechanism has certain limitations. Therefore, in the process of creating an investment legal system, the autonomous region should formulate perfect investment standards on the basis of the internationalization standard of China. The dispute settlement mechanism should encourage the establishment of a pilot temporary arbitration system, internationalization of arbitration, and establishment and improvement of a foreign dispute settlement system, in order to provide certain guidance for foreign investment in the Free Trade Zone. 1. Introduction Foreign investment in Shenzhen Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone can rely on national policy dividends to innovate law enforcement, legislation, and judicial, and conduct trials in advance to improve the space and disputes of investment rules and standards, and the limitations of appropriate resolution mechanisms. It is the innovation focus of the foreign legal system[1]. The innovation and construction of the autonomous region system is the basic way to cope with the complicated nationalized economic form and persist in reform and development. In order to better build a demonstration base with social assistance laws with Chinese characteristics, in July 2015, Shenzhen Qianhai Administration issued an implementation plan for free trade in the region [2].
