This is because intelligence activities in China lack parliament oversight for the basic reasons that China is not a democracy (apart from direct elections at township and local level) and there are not transparent rules to how security, inter- nal and external, is ensured. Chinese Intelligence The obvious starting point is the Ministry of State Security (Guójiā Ānquánbù, 国家安全部, MSS). It is the main agency, responsible for intelligence and by Stefania Paladini, PhD state security, in charge of counterintelligence and foreign intelligence (but not military intelligence). It was established in 1983, with Ling Yun as first chief, Intelligence With Chinese Characteristics after the reform of the predecessor Central Investiga- tion Department (Diaochabu) that was established at omparing systems and concepts like the Chi- the creation of PRC in 1949 and first headed by Kang nese and the Anglo-American is challenging, Sheng and later by Li Kenong.

    How do Chinese cities grow? A distribution dynamics approach Jian-Xin Wua, Ling-Yun Hea, b,* a School of Economics, Jinan University, Guangzhou 510632, China b College of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China Abstract: this paper examines the dynamic behavior of city size using a distribution dynamics approach with Chinese city data for the period 1984-2010. Instead of convergence, divergence or paralleled growth, multimodality and persistence are the dominant characteristics in the distribution dynamics of Chinese prefectural cities. Moreover, initial city size matters, initially small and medium-sized cities exhibit strong tendency of convergence, while large cities show significant persistence and multimodality in the sample period. Examination on the regional city groups shows that locational fundamentals have important impact on the distribution dynamics of city size.

  • The CCP Central Committee's Leading Small Groups Alice Miller
    Miller, China Leadership Monitor, No. 26 The CCP Central Committee’s Leading Small Groups Alice Miller For several decades, the Chinese leadership has used informal bodies called “leading small groups” to advise the Party Politburo on policy and to coordinate implementation of policy decisions made by the Politburo and supervised by the Secretariat. Because these groups deal with sensitive leadership processes, PRC media refer to them very rarely, and almost never publicize lists of their members on a current basis. Even the limited accessible view of these groups and their evolution, however, offers insight into the structure of power and working relationships of the top Party leadership under Hu Jintao. A listing of the Central Committee “leading groups” (lingdao xiaozu 领导小组), or just “small groups” (xiaozu 小组), that are directly subordinate to the Party Secretariat and report to the Politburo and its Standing Committee and their members is appended to this article. First created in 1958, these groups are never incorporated into publicly available charts or explanations of Party institutions on a current basis. PRC media occasionally refer to them in the course of reporting on leadership policy processes, and they sometimes mention a leader’s membership in one of them. The only instance in the entire post-Mao era in which PRC media listed the current members of any of these groups was on 2003, when the PRC-controlled Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po publicized a membership list of the Central Committee Taiwan Work Leading Small Group. (Wen Wei Po, 26 December 2003) This has meant that even basic insight into these groups’ current roles and their membership requires painstaking compilation of the occasional references to them in PRC media.

  • Surveillant Individualism in an Era of Relentless Visibility
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 164–177 1932–8036/20160005 Managing Surveillance: Surveillant Individualism in an Era of Relentless Visibility SHIV GANESH1 Massey University, New Zealand Contemporary surveillance occurs in the context of communicative abundance, where visibility is not only easy but relentless: never ending, far reaching, and ceaseless. Managing surveillance therefore has considerable implications for democratic politics, workplace control, economic practices, cultural politics, and individual subjectivity. This article identifies surveillant individualism, or the pivotal role that individuals play in surveillance and countersurveillance, as a major feature of contemporary surveillance management. It seeks to clarify current research trajectories on digital surveillance management and to chart a course for organizational research on surveillant individualism. Keywords: countersurveillance, relentless visibility, sousveillance, surveillant individualism The rise of surveillance needs foremost to be contextualized with visibility as a major 21st century trope. It is not a stretch to claim that visibility is now a central concern of social and organizational theory, and scholars from multiple theoretical traditions and disciplines have traced how myriad forms of sociality and organizing have been modernized and rationalized, rendered knowable, and made transparent and accessible (Brighenti, 2007, 2010). Others have argued that the 21st century is characterized by a “new visibility,” a powerful new force facilitated
