  • China-Vietnam Economic Activity
    China-Vietnam Economic Activity Formatted: Font: 20 pt, Bold By Antonio Graceffo, PhD, China MBA Economics Department, Shanghai University Contact: [email protected] Table of Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 The Vietnamese Economy Faced by Chinese Investors 3 Vietnam Follows China’s Economic Reforms 4 The Vietnam Stock Exchanges 5 Chinese Investment in Vietnam 6 Problems with China Investment in Vietnam 7. Conclusion 8. References 9. About the Author 1. Introduction China and Vietnam are two of East Asia’s most dynamic and two of the world’s fastest growing economies. Economic ties between the two have become extremely important: China is the second largest importer of Vietnamese goods and the largest exporter of goods to Vietnam (dfat.Gov.au 2016). Bilateral trade between the two countries grew from $32 million in 1991 to $36 billion in 2011 (Amer 2014). According to a 2015 story published in the Europe China Daily, a Vietnamese official claimed that bilateral trade between China and Vietnam had reached $66 billion in 2015, making China one of Vietnam’s top trade partners (Europe.Chinadaily 2016). Within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Vietnam is China’s number one trading partner (Clark 2016). Vietnam’s top exports to China include mainly electronic spare parts, agricultural and seafood products, and coal. Vietnam imports mostly machinery and equipment from China. In 2015, China was running 1,300 projects in Vietnam (Europe.Chinadaily 2016). Overall, Vietnam runs a trade deficit with China. (Clark 2016). Both countries are nominally Communist but have undergone significant market- based economic reforms, which have driven their development from poor to middle income (Amer 2014).

  • Dancing Under the Mongkhon: How Thailand's National Sport Can
    Scholar Report – Sarah George Dancing Under the Mongkhon: How Thailand’s National Sport Can Teach us a Distinctive Moral Code. ( : กก ) INTRODUCTION: In this essay I hope to show that through the study of traditional Muay Thai (MT) one can also learn to live a good and moral life. In Part I, I will look at Buddhist Ethics as a branch of philosophy and then give a very brief overview of the inherent morality in Buddhism as a religion. The apparent contradiction between a ‘violent, fighting sport’ and the Buddhist principle of non-violence will then need to be addressed. In Part II, I will examine different aspects of MT individually (Wai Khru, breathing exercises and Yok Khru), exploring the moral lessons that can be learned by each in turn. Finally, in Part III, I will explore the idea of habituation to morality via traditional MT. At times I will cross over to see what Western philosophy has to say, in particular virtue ethics, which Buddhist Ethics most resembles. However, before I address my argument I would like to outline the main reasons why I feel this topic is both of interest and importance. At a conference I recently attended 1, Mr Vasu Gounden 2 discussed the need for a new paradigm to reflect the shift in power towards Asia. He argued that capitalism isn’t working and that our morality has been compromised, concluding that in order to step into the new multi polar world, we need to renew our morality. As Asia becomes stronger, it makes sense that we should attempt to understand and properly value the traditions and national customs of the region.

The head of China’s Center for Disease ​ ​ Control and Prevention (CCDC) expressed a similar optimism in September when he noted that widespread vaccinations likely would not be necessary in China due to the country’s effective control of the outbreak (SCMP, September 13). ​ ​ At the same time, Chinese researchers have raced to develop viable COVID-19 vaccine, sometimes skirting vaccine development norms in the process and already inoculating hundreds of thousands of people under “emergency use authorizations” (Caixin, September 8).[1] While countries experiencing high coronavirus ​ ​ ​ ​ caseloads in the West have reportedly stockpiled pre-purchases of vaccines, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary and PRC President Xi Jinping has repeatedly pledged to make a COVID-19 vaccine “a global public good”, available to all (Xinhua, May 18).

Changing Burma From Without: Political Activism Among the Burmese Diaspora DAVID C. WILLIAMS* ABSTRACT This Article examines the role that the Burmese diasporaplays from afar in influencing reform inside the country. It offers a brief history of the crisis in Burma as background for identifying the various elements of the diaspora: those on the run from the military; those in camps for internally displaced persons and refugees; migrant workers; leaders of the democracy movement active on Burma's borders; asylees; and professionalactivists with influence on the internationalcommunity. The different groups use the different strategies available to them. The leadership on the borders is helping to lead the democracy movement inside the country; leaders outside the country, by contrast, try to lobby the United Nations and foreign governments.
