  • A Neighbourhood Under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars
    European Journal of East Asian Studies EJEAS . () – www.brill.nl/ejea A Neighbourhood under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars Christian Henriot Institut d’Asie orientale, Université de Lyon—Institut Universitaire de France [email protected] Abstract War was a major aspect of Shanghai history in the first half of the twentieth century. Yet, because of the particular political and territorial divisions that segmented the city, war struck only in Chinese-administered areas. In this paper, I examine the fate of the Zhabei district, a booming industrious area that came under fire on three successive occasions. Whereas Zhabei could be construed as a success story—a rag-to-riches, swamp-to-urbanity trajectory—the three instances of military conflict had an increasingly devastating impact, from shaking, to stifling, to finally erase Zhabei from the urban landscape. This area of Shanghai experienced the first large-scale modern warfare in an urban setting. The skirmish established the pattern in which the civilian population came to be exposed to extreme forms of violence, was turned overnight into a refugee population, and lost all its goods and properties to bombing and fires. Keywords war; Shanghai; urban; city; civilian; military War is not the image that first comes to mind about Shanghai. In most accounts or scholarly studies, the city stands for modernity, economic prosperity and cultural novelty. It was China’s main financial centre, commercial hub, indus- trial base and cultural engine. In its modern history, however, Shanghai has experienced several instances of war. One could start with the takeover of the city in by the Small Sword Society and the later attempts by the Taip- ing armies to approach Shanghai.

    Century of the Pacific The How, When and Why of Expanding in China Plus, celebrate the opening of the Bay Area Business Community’s China Landing Pad June 13-18, 2010 Shanghai, China Why Now? There are many reasons why Bay Area companiess have decided now is the time to expand in China. With China’s stunning economic growth, its rapidlyy expanding middle class, the pull of existing customers to move there, the threat of competitorss getting there fi rst, the escalating demand and premiummium price for Bay Area or “American” products and services,vices, a potential prolonged local recession, and the need to bebe inin China in this evermore “global” business world – it’st’s no wonder. Like any new market, business in China comes with challenges. Relationship management is a critical competence, as are strategies to get comfortable with a new business culture and operate in a different language. That said, numerous Bay Area businesses have already braved China and found it an exhilarating, profi table experience. China wants and needs your products and services. They want to build an econ- omy modeled more and more on the Bay Area’s innovation economy. Recogniz- ing the mutual benefi t for our two regions in the coming Century of the Pacifi c, the Bay Area business community is partnering with the business and government community of Shanghai to roll out the red carpet and build a Bay Area landing pad in Shanghai’s dynamic Yangpu District. We hope you join us on this historic trip as we learn how to successfully expand in China, use the Yangpu District as an in depth case study of how to grow in China from the ground up, see one of the most incredible cities humanity has ever built, plus, have a good time.

  • The Development of Copycat Towns in China: an Analysis of Their Economic, Social, and Environmental Implications Working Paper WP17DS1
    The Development of Copycat Towns in China: An Analysis of Their Economic, Social, and Environmental Implications Working Paper WP17DS1 Daniel Sui Ohio State University Bo Zhao Oregon State University Hui Kong Ohio State University October 2017 The findings and conclusions of this Working Paper reflect the views of the author(s) and have not been subject to a detailed review by the staff of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Contact the Lincoln Institute with questions or requests for permission to reprint this paper. [email protected] © 2017 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Abstract The great urban leap forward in China during the past four decades has dramatically transformed the Chinese landscape across the country as well as Chinese society in many profound ways. By situating the development of xenophilic copycat towns under the broader context of China’s four urban design and development motifs, this report presents an initial study of copycat/shanzhai towns in China through a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach. The qualitative data gathered through on-site interviews and observations reveal multiple unique and local circumstances for the development of these copycat towns while the quantitative analysis and mapping using big data analytics shed light for the first time on the national trend of this phenomena and its manifestations in the local real estate market. Furthermore, the way in which the development of copycat towns still follows the basic laws of supply and demand and market forces should be taken into full consideration. Most of the successful copycat towns covered in this report are either located near a large city, or have convenient transportation infrastructure that makes them accessible from nearby city centers.
