How Do Americans View the Rising China?

The dramatic increase in China's economic and hence political power and influence is a common story around the world. Just how clearly and well does this story get across to citizens of some nations other than China, itself? In particular, we ask what Americans know about China. Do they observe its rise? Are their views simple or rich and nuanced? How do they vary across the public? What leads to more positive and what leads to more negative views of China? We report the results of a survey of the American population designed to address these questions. We find that they are reasonably knowledgeable of China's rise and that they have rich and nuanced perceptions of a variety of dimensions of China, its society, economy and polity. These views are, on balance, not especially positive, but the more cosmopolitan the citizen, the more likely they are to hold positive views. Those who are Democrats, who are liberals, and who have had the opportunity to travel in China are especially likely to have positive impressions.     

The Rise of China and the Vision for an East Asian Community

This article seeks to explore how stable regional order under the possible community formation can be created in East Asia in moves towards China's ascendancy. For this objective, it takes advantage of a framework assuming that the development of an East Asian community would be possible under conditions that the states in the region develop common identity and norms, as well as multilateral institutions that guarantee the long-term interest. Moreover, the society needs to be involved in identity formation and institution-building. This article argues that China has been gradually embedded into formal multilateral institutions and less formal policy networks formed by state and non-state actors, which have been conducive to the creation of a regional community. However, both collective norms at the governmental level and shared cultural consciousness at the public level have not developed enough to have significant influences on directing China firmly to the formation of a regional community.     

How Should China Cope With U.S. Interest Rate Rise?

Talk Shows on the Rise in China

<正>Whether it is a talk show or other forms of comedy art,the ultimate goal is to express a point of view.Laughter is just the exterior packaging of a talk show,and performers must have a critical spirit.

The Rise of China in Chinese Eyes

The rise of China will create a huge market that will eventually make substantial contributions to scientific progress. The rise of China will benefit the Chinese as well as the rest of the world. Economic globalization makes it impossible for any country to keep its scientific and technological achievements from benefiting others. Every rich country inevitably invests largely abroad and imports many products from others. During the process of economic globalization, the rise of China will inevitably stimulate world economic growth by more inventions, investment, and importation. It is natural that there will be different views about the rise of China. Despite this, everyone agrees that China will increasingly play an important role in global affairs as China's modernization has a major impact on the world.     

Americans and the Rise of China as a World Power

The rapid ascendency of China has attracted considerable attention from American scholars, policymakers, and media. Yet what does the American public think about the rise of China as a world power? In this paper we use survey data collected by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and other organizations to explore the nature and causes of Americans' views. It turns out that most Americans are well aware of the rise of China. Some are apprehensive about that rise, chiefly for national security (rather than economic) reasons, and many favor a degree of off-shore ‘balancing’ of the sort that realists recommend. But few Americans want to actively work to limit the rise of China. Very few favor the use of troops to defend Taiwan. Very few favor a nuclear-armed Japan. Large majorities of Americans take stands more akin to those of neo-liberals than realist theorists, favoring cooperation and peaceful engagement with China.

能源转型促进中部绿色崛起初探

中部地区在我国经济社会发展全局中占有重要的战略地位。中部崛起战略实施以来,该地区经济发展迅速,增速在全国四大区域板块中“领跑”多年。但在发展新阶段,中部地区发展面临严峻挑战:一是经济发展不充分;二是平衡生态目标与GDP增长目标难度大;三是创新能力不强,新动能发展不够;四是地方利益难平衡,区域难以实现一体化发展;五是现有能源供应模式难以满足中部地区经济社会发展的需要。为破解这些难题,本文在归纳借鉴德国、丹麦、瑞典等欧洲发达国家相关经验的基础上,初步提出了以能源转型促进中部地区绿色崛起的对策建议。

如何对待公有制条件下的剥削行为

关于剥削与所有制之间的关系，马克思有许多精辟的论述，这些论述对于科学社会主义的产生发挥了极其重要的作用。今天，我们之所以提出对剥削与所有制关系的再认识，是由于时代的发展，现行的所有制形式与马克思所处的时代相比发生了革命性的变革，与此相对应，对剥削与所有制关系的认识必然会增添许多新的内容。在坚持已经形成的具有真理性的科学结论的同时，准确把握这些新的内容，对于认识剥削形式的演变规律，寻找消灭剥削的现实途径，深化所有制结构与实现形式的改革，并加深对中国特色社会主义理论的认识都具有极其重要的意义。一马克…     

Discussion of 'The Rise of China in Chinese Eyes'

In a response to Yan Xuetong's paper, 'The Rise of China in Chinese Eyes', Ted Osius (writing in August 1999) discusses Dr Yan's perspective on Chinese history and the question of whether China's rise will be peaceful. Mr Osius argues that, while we cannot know for certain what China's future holds, the Clinton‐Gore Administration has been clear in its goal of integrating China into the leadership ranks of the world community.     

Glorious Memories of Imperial China and the Rise of Chinese Populist Nationalism

This article examines the emergence of distorted memories of Imperial China. Through popular online sites and media, populist nationalists have obtained exaggerated yet extremely sensational knowledge of Chinese history, which portrays Imperial China as benevolent, strong and more advanced than the western world. Based on these distorted memories, they blame all diplomatic controversies on other countries—western nations for their imperialist exploitation and especially neighboring countries for their ungratefulness to the Chinese empire. Due to the declining appeal of communism, as well as the corruption and isolation of official academia, the Chinese government is under heavy pressure to follow the distorted memory and restore China's historical glory.     

The Rise of Collective Corruption in China: the Xiamen smuggling case

The Xiamen case, as well as several other high-profile corruption cases uncovered at the end of the 1990s, signals a new trend in collective corruption whereby private companies, entrepreneurs and organized crime groups now play an important role in initiating and coordinating networks of criminal activity. This article uses the concept of collective corruption to examine the smuggling empire built up by the entrepreneur, Lai Changxing, the network of state-owned enterprises and officials that supported and protected his smuggling operations, and the central government's crackdown. It concludes with a discussion of two other major corruption scandals, and what they say about the nature and extent of collective corruption in China. I argue that these recent cases show that corruption in China has evolved into more sophisticated, complex and destructive forms that resemble the more extreme forms of corruption found in post-communist countries where corrupt networks have been able to infiltrate and take over state institutions.     

如何考察社会主义从西方到东方的演进

北京大学张光明教授新著《社会主义由西方到东方的演进——从马克思到邓小平的社会主义思想考察》一书,对许多人物的评价,对马克思、列宁等人的社会主义观及其演进过程的认识都有自己新的思考和独特的分析研究方法。作者更是注重密切联系实际来说明问题,而且潜心于独立思考,敢于力排众议,发表自己的新见解。然而,作者的这些新见解也有值得商榷之处。其中,建立一个什么样的党和什么样的党领导的执政体制这一关键问题,需要作进一步的探讨。

当代中国文化保守主义的兴起及其影响

当代中国文化保守主义的产生有其深刻的国内外背景,它放弃激进的社会、政治批判,转而采取文化上的保守主义话语,主张回归中国传统文化,反省现代性,从而深化了对现代化本质的认识。但由于其专注于政治层面,淡化了它的学理意义和对中国文化建设的理论贡献。
