While possibly no capital city in the world is being renewed so intensely as Beijing, which presents both enormous potential and threat. Intrinsic to this research is a concept that the design culture of a city is formed largely by the national character, aesthetic value and culture distinctive to that city; these are the soil of design culture which merit careful observation and description.

    Comparative Connections a Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations

    Comparative Connections A Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Japan-China Relations: Politics in Command: Part 2 James J. Przystup Institute for National Strategic Studies National Defense University Beijing welcomed the new Fukuda government and Japan’s new prime minister made clear his commitment to improving Japan’s relations with its Asian neighbors and building the strategic relationship with China. However, the new government in Tokyo soon became preoccupied with the passage of a new antiterrorism special measures law to reauthorize Japan’s refueling operations in support of UN operations in Afghanistan, Defense Ministry scandals, and the continuing pension fund imbroglio. Despite repeated commitments by political leadership in Tokyo and Beijing to joint development of the oil and natural gas resources in the East China Sea, there is no tangible resolution of the issue in sight. At the end of the year, joint development remained an aspiration. Even as the prime minister prepared for his late December visit to China, government and diplomatic sources were downplaying expectations that the visit would produce agreement on the issue. Meanwhile, as underscored by the first meeting of the Japan-China High Level Economic Dialogue, economic and business ties continued to strengthen the foundation of the bilateral relationship. Japan-China relations under the Fukuda government Beijing welcomed the advent of the Fukuda government. On Sept. 25, China’s Foreign Ministry congratulated the new prime minister on his accession to office and expressed the hope that the reciprocal strategic relationship would continue to develop in a healthy and stable manner. China’s media gave front-page play to the new prime minister, emphasizing Fukuda’s interest in advancing relations with Japan’s Asian neighbors and his commitment not to visit the Yasukuni Shrine.

  • Economic Profile of Beijing Financial District

    Economic Profile of Beijing Financial District

    Economic Profile of Beijing Financial District Shen, Fanbu and Yang, Jingning Beijing’s Financial Street (BFS), known as “Wall Street of China”, is a large-scale government-led financial district development in central area of Beijing, where almost all the highest financial decision-making and regulatory institutions in China are located, such as the central bank and China Banking Regulatory Commission. The planning and construction of the district started in 1993. Through more than 15 years of development, the Financial Street has become the financial center of China transformed from an old traditional residential district. Numbers give strong evidence on the drastic economic growth in BFS. According to the Bureau of Statistics of Xicheng District, it controlled 60% of national financial assets, over 90% national credit funds and 65% national insurance funds in 2005. Total assets managed by companies in the Financial Street reached 18 trillion RMB1 (about 2.6 trillion dollars). It is now the financial regulatory center, clearing center, financial information center, industry standard design center, financial wholesale business center, fund procurement center and financial intermediary service center of China. BFS’s tax revenue was 25% of Beijing in 2007. From 1995 to 2000, the growth rate of financial and insurance industry in Xicheng District was 18.2%, much higher than the 9.7% increase of GDP in that area. The GDP of financial and insurance industry in Xicheng District was 8.45 billion yuan, which was 43.33% of the overall GDP, while the area of BFS is merely 3.7% of the total area in Xicheng District.

    THE RISE of CHINA and the DEVELOPMENT of FINANCIAL CENTRES in HONG KONG, BEIJING, SHANGHAI, and SHENZHEN* Simon Xiaobin Zhao

    THE RISE OF CHINA AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCIAL CENTRES IN HONG KONG, BEIJING, SHANGHAI, AND SHENZHEN* Simon Xiaobin Zhao, Qionghua Lao and Neo Ying Ming Chan As China's economy becomes more integrated with the world, several finan- cial centres are expected to grow within the Chinese financial system. Hong Kong and Shanghai are unarguably the prime financial centres in China's economy, but Beijing and Shenzhen perform unique and irreplaceable func- tions in China's financial framework. This paper examines the strengths and competitiveness of Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen through a wide range of market assessments in stock, bond, funds markets, futures and derivatives as well as the foreign exchange market and the presence of corpo- rate headquarters to reveal how the development of financial centres in China relates to the rise of China's economy. The findings suggest that Hong Kong performs the role of an international financial centre in the Greater China region in terms of possessing highly internationalized financial industries and a sound legal environment, while Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen have strong points in domestic financial services and functions; together they not only represent the symbolic rise of China but also contribute to the fast growth of China and Asian economies. Keywords: International Financial Centre, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, the rise of China, Chinese financial framework, financial services and functions. Introduction China's persistent economic growth in the past thirty years heralds its emergence as a great power in the world economy. China became the world's second largest economy in 2011, has the largest foreign exchange reserves in terms of trade surplus, a banking industry that has remained relatively intact after the 2007–2008 subprime crisis, and a capital market that is predicted to become the world's third largest by 2016 (XINHUA 2007).

I argue for a communication centered approach for understanding geopolitical relations and the socialization process by which norms and values take root amongst U.S. and Chinese officials. To do so, I draw upon organizational institutionalism to uncover competing organizational logics guiding and constraining the S&ED through an organizational rhetorical lens while also providing a new theoretical conception of public diplomacy as a means to legitimize the S&ED as a mechanism for managing the complex bilateral relationship. Texts under analysis include the press releases, speeches, memos of understanding, and agreements published following each of the eight annual S&ED meetings from 2009-2016, totaling over 160 documents. Findings suggest that the S&ED defines both the dialogue mechanism and bilateral relationship as founded upon a central logic of “positive, cooperative, and comprehensive” relations between the two countries.

Received: 19 May 2014; in revised form: 30 June 2014 / Accepted: 14 July 2014 / Published: 22 July 2014 Abstract: Decentralization development and changing urban form will increase the mobility and contribute to global CO2 emissions, in particular for developing countries which are experiencing rapid economic growth and urban expansion. In this paper, an integrated analytical framework, which can quantify the impact of changing urban form on commuting CO2 emissions, is presented. This framework simultaneously considers two emission dependent factors, commuting demand and modal share based on the concept of excess commuting and accessibility analysis, and ensures its applicability to other cities where the detailed individual travel data is not available.
