Industrial Policy and Global Value Chains: the Experience of Guangdong, China and Malaysia in the Electronics Industry Industrial Policy and Global Value Chains: The experience of Guangdong, China and Malaysia in the Electronics Industry By VASILIKI MAVROEIDI Clara Hall College This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Centre of Development Studies, University of Cambridge Date of Submission: September, 2018 Preface This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the relevant Degree Committee. 2 Acknowledgments This thesis would have been impossible without the support and encouragement of a great many people that I met during this journey. My biggest thanks go to Dr. Ha-Joon Chang. He believed in me since the very first time we met and all our conversations since (together with the copious amount of red ink spent on my earlier drafts) have pushed me to think harder and improve not only as a scholar, but also as a person. I would also like to thank Professor Peter Nolan for being one of the most inspiring people in Cambridge and an endless source of knowledge that goes far beyond Chinese economic development. Dr. Kun-Chin Lin has provided me and other colleagues with a space to discuss Chinese political economy and given me plenty of spiritual and practical support. Finally, I would like to thank Professor Jan Toporowski at SOAS for helping me start this journey and Dr. Annalisa Primi at the OECD for providing a safe haven for me to finish it. Cambridge University, Clare Hall, the Vergottis Foundation, the Karelia Foundation, the Centre of Development Studies and the Faculty of Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) provided me with generous financial support to undertake this Ph.D. This work was also supported by the Smuts Memorial Fund, managed by the University of Cambridge in memory of Jan Christiaan Smuts. In Cambridge, I found a rare camaraderie that will always accompany me. I am profoundly grateful to Yee Siong Tong, Ivan Rajic, Jostein Hauge, Joao Silva, Natalya Naqvi, Alice Krozer, Cirenia Chavez, Bojana Radovanovic, Christopher Hope, Nina Rismal, Guy Williams, Fu Zhenyu, Xiao Chen, Ming Leong Kuan, Rafe Martyn, Jack Wright and Isabella Weber for the stimulating conversations and the many laughs. My colleagues at Clare Hall also offered me the most exciting escape from Ph.D life in our rowing club and Valeriya, Serhiy and Max were always there to offer me food and comfort whenever I needed. Beyond Cambridge, Sophie van Hullen and Aftab Malik were the two most supportive friends a Ph.D student could find. I am also grateful to everyone who made fieldwork research possible. Landy, Felicia and Ming Jiang provided excellent research assistance. I would also like to thank the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou and their precious university library resources. In Malaysia I will be eternally grateful for the help 3 of Yu Leng Khor and Wong Chen, without whom I would have achieved very little. Professors Rajah Rasiah and Terrence Gomez were incredibly kind and helpful, discussing my work and putting me in touch with great people. I would finally like to thank the countless policy-makers, business people, scholars, experts and students that I met in my trips and were kind enough to share their precious time with me and contribute to this work. I would also like to acknowledge my family and friends in Greece and China. My brother Themistoklis and my sister-in-law Taofen Zeng are the most generous people I know and without their moral and material support this thesis would have been impossible. My father and mother have also been unconditionally supportive and I hope this work will serve as an acknowledgement of their sacrifices over the years. Without my best friend Efstathia Nikolaidou, I would have never completed this work. Finally, I am grateful to Jose Miguel Ahumada. Beyond your love and support, thank you for helping me grow my intellectual curiosity. You opened up worlds I didn’t know existed. 4 Abbreviations AFC Asian Financial Crisis AmCham American Chamber of Commerce ASIC Application Specific Integrated Circuit CAS Chinese Academy of Sciences

    The role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational enterprise strategy: a multiple case study A Master Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Economics and Business by Justin Brandsma S2734818 Supervisor: H.U. Haq Co-assessor: J.R. de Wit WC: 16484 June 2020 Groningen, The Netherlands The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy 2 The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy Foreword In front of you lies my master thesis on: “the Role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational strategy: a multiple case study“, written as part of the master’s degree in International Business and Management at the University of Groningen. I consider this thesis to be the culmination of 6 beautiful student years in the even more beautiful city of Groningen, a wonderful period of my life! My choice for this thesis topic dates back to my late middle-school and early high-school years where I developed a big interest in the ancient Greek history and mythology. Especially the tales of Alexander the Great who managed to expand the Macedonian empire all the way to northeast India were intriguing to me. This Greek venture East in 334BC led to the establishment of the earliest version of a trade route between Constantinople (Turkey) and Xi’an (China), known as the Silkroad. 1600 years later Marco Polo would travel this route from Venice to China and work as the personal advisor of the Mongolian ruler: Kublai Khan. The accumulation of his experiences and adventures in the East came together in the brilliant travel memoire written by Rusticello da Pisa named ‘il Milione’ or commonly known as the ‘the travels of Marco Polo’.

For the last two months, we have been hit very hard by the pandemic and there seems to be no near end in sight. The Emergency proclamation in January, ostensibly to fight COVID-19 has now been proven to be a complete political sham. Malaysia is the only country in the world where after Emergency has been declared (together with the suspension of Parliament), the pandemic situation has actually worsened instead of improving. This inability to contain the pandemic is the result of an incompetent and anti-democratic government that is weak in leadership and poor in policy planning. I get no joy in criticising the PN government but it is now as clear as day that without the checks and balances provided by parliament, their incompetency will only grow to the detriment of Malaysians from the pandemic. However, this newsletter is not so much about politics; for that you can follow me on my active social media posts. This newsletter is basically a report card of sorts of what my office and I have been doing in the last six months.

    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/18940 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Cai, Xiang-yu Title: Christianity and gender in South-East China : the chaozhou missions (1849-1949) Date: 2012-05-10 CHAPTER TWO: PROTESTANT AND CATHOLIC MISSIONS Introduction From the mid-nineteenth century, four missions—the Basel Mission, the English Presbyterian Mission (EPM), the American Baptist Mission (ABM) and Les Société des Missions Étrangères de Paris (MEP)—had a foothold in the Chaozhou region but were eventually expelled from mainland China in 1952. Since 1895, a dozen scholars have published about the history of their activities. In the first hundred years after 1895, nearly all of them were former missionaries or local church leaders.113 From the mid-1990s, historians who had no immediate connection with the missions such as Joseph Tse-Hei Lee, Hu Weiqing, and Lee Kam Keung (李金强) have stepped into this field.114 Joseph Tse-Hei Lee used the archives of the EPM and ABM as well as the British and American diplomatic sources and Chinese municipal archives to reconstruct the expansion of Protestantism into Chaozhou region in the second half of nineteenth century. He describes the transmission of Christianity in Chaozhou, a highly dynamic world with frequent migration and collective violence, which was totally different from more static, agrarian North China115. Hu Weiqing pioneered using the Chinese records of the English Presbyterian Synods at the Shantou Municipal Archives.116 His main interest was in the indigenization of Protestant Churches in Chaozhou. Lee Kam Keung has focused on the Swatow Protestant Churches in Hong Kong.

    February 11, 2016 The Honorable Mr. Barack Obama President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, As members of parliament from Southeast Asia, dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights, we write to express our desire for you to make discussion of human rights and the democratic aspirations of the people of ASEAN a priority during the upcoming summit at the Sunnylands estate in California on 15-16 February 2016. As you are surely aware, democracy is struggling in Southeast Asia. Many countries in our region have taken dramatic steps backward in the past two years. While Southeast Asia appeared to be on the cusp of a genuine political transformation only a few years ago, more recently the region has instead witnessed military takeovers, the rollback of fundamental rights, intensifying government-sponsored discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and the increasing persecution of activists and opposition voices, including fellow parliamentarians. These setbacks constitute a fundamental threat to the future of the ASEAN Community and the US relationship with it. While we recognize and understand your administration’s desire to strengthen trade and security cooperation with Southeast Asian governments, we urge you to proceed with caution. Human rights, democracy, and basic dignity cannot take a backseat to economic or security prerogatives. Open dialogue on fundamental political and rights-based questions is vital to ensuring the sustainability of bilateral relationships and promoting broad-based benefits of trans-Pacific cooperation. When you sit down with ASEAN leaders in California, we urge you to press them on unfulfilled human rights commitments and to directly raise specific concerns with them.

    Post Print This article is a version after peer-review, with revisions having been made. In terms of appearance only this might not be the same as the published article. THE GLOBALISATION OF CHINESE BRANDS Marketing Intelligence &Planning, (2006) 24:4, 365-379 Ying Fan Brunel Business School Brunel University Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH England [email protected] Keywords branding, Chinese brands, internationalisation, international marketing global markets, globalisation THE GLOBALISATION OF CHINESE BRANDS Abstract China has taken over Japan over the last decade to become the largest manufacturer and exporter of more than one hundred consumer products. However, China, as “the world factory”, has yet to create a single brand that is recognised worldwide. The recent acquisition of IBM’s PC business by China’s Lenovo may signal the beginning of the globalisation of Chinese brands. This paper considers the current brand revolution in China, focusing on the unique challenge faced by major Chinese enterprises: how to sustain their brands in domestic competition and how to expand in the global markets. The paper is divided into two parts: it first gives a brief review of the development of marketing and branding in China since the start of economic reform in 1978, and then discusses current issues in the domestic market: changes from price competition to brand competition, as well as diversification and the role of the government. The second part examines the routes to internationalisation taken by some of China’s biggest brands; differences in their entry modes and branding strategies are analysed. Introduction It is now difficult to find a shop in the West that does not sell products with a Made- in-China label.
