Besides, Mr. Wang, Tongyou and Mr. Wang, Jin as my Colleagues, and Mr. Peng, Guicang as my ex-coworker, have given me a hand on how bridging the gap between me and the required academic level. I would also like to take the chance to express my appreciation to Mr. Li, Yong, Mr. Zi, Silong, Mr. Li, Zhi and Mr. Zhang, Xingyun who on behalf of the company COSL to sponsor my graduate study in University of Stavanger, without their good faith and deeds for the youth of their company, I could not finish the study in good wellbeing.

  • U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesperson For Immediate Release FACT SHEET December 8, 2020 U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices “Under Xi Jinping, the CCP has prioritized something called ‘military-civil fusion.’ … Chinese companies and researchers must… under penalty of law – share technology with the Chinese military. The goal is to ensure that the People’s Liberation Army has military dominance. And the PLA’s core mission is to sustain the Chinese Communist Party’s grip on power.” – Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, January 13, 2020 The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) threat to American national security extends into our financial markets and impacts American investors. Many major stock and bond indices developed by index providers like MSCI and FTSE include malign People’s Republic of China (PRC) companies that are listed on the Department of Commerce’s Entity List and/or the Department of Defense’s List of “Communist Chinese military companies” (CCMCs). The money flowing into these index funds – often passively, from U.S. retail investors – supports Chinese companies involved in both civilian and military production. Some of these companies produce technologies for the surveillance of civilians and repression of human rights, as is the case with Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang, China, as well as in other repressive regimes, such as Iran and Venezuela. As of December 2020, at least 24 of the 35 parent-level CCMCs had affiliates’ securities included on a major securities index. This includes at least 71 distinct affiliate-level securities issuers.

  • Interaction Between Actors in China's Energy Diplomacy in Indonesia
    Interaction between Actors in China’s Energy Diplomacy in Indonesia Period 2002-2012 Dias Sukmarini Indonesia University, Depok Keywords: Interaction between China and Indonesia, Energy Diplomacy, Non-state Actor, State-Owned Enterprises Abstract: This study aims to analyze the interaction between actors in China’s energy diplomacy in Indonesia by using state actor and non-state actors based on their national energy policy. In this paper, the author analyzes the involvement of the state actors and non-state actors, their role, as well as the interactions that are formed in the diplomatic activities, especially Chinese energy diplomacy in Indonesia in an effort to obtain energy resources. State actors are represented by government officials, while non-state actors are represented by Chinese and Indonesian state-owned energy companies. The author describes and explains the interactions of actors based on three forms of interaction in economic diplomacy by Susan Strange’s theory of diplomacy. First is diplomacy between countries or state-state diplomacy, second is diplomacy between the firm and state or state-firm diplomacy, and third is diplomacy between companies or firm-firm diplomacy. Qualitative methods are applied in this research, by taking data through literature studies. The study found that the three forms of interaction in diplomacy between state actors and non-state actors are related to each other. The connection of interactions in each diplomacy shows the political and economic relations that affect the effectiveness of energy’s agreements between countries. 1 INTRODUCTION pointing out that state-owned enterprises can be described as non-state actor. Mostly, the debates In recent years, globalization has been showing many focused on China’s perspective because more than remarkable changes in the international relations.
