Philip Andrews-Speed, "China as a Global Clean Energy Champion: Lifting the Veil "
English | ISBN: 9811334919 | 2019 | 360 pages | EPUB, PDF | 4 MB + 3 MB
This book assesses China's reputation as a global clean energy champion, and applies institutional and public policy theories to explain how the country has achieved so much and why there continue to be so many unintended consequences and constraints to progress. It considers the extent to which the government has successfully boosted the manufacture and deployment of low-carbon electricity generating infrastructure, cleaned up thermal power generation, and enhanced energy efficiency, dramatically constraining China's rising carbon dioxide emissions, but also examines the substantial political and financial capital required to reinforce the predominantly administrative policy instruments and the mix of special interests and poor coordination that are endemic to the energy sector. Arguing that the current approach seems to be encountering ever diminishing returns, the book considers whether ongoing sector reforms and the new national emissions trading scheme can reinvigorate the nation's clean energy trajectory.

Wang Pan, "Love and Marriage in Globalizing China"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1138024252 | PDF | pages: 261 | 1.7 mb
As China globalizes, the number of marriages between Chinese people and foreigners is increasing. These Chinese-foreign marriages have profound implications for China's cultural identity. This book, based on extensive original research, outlines the different types of Chinese-foreign marriage, and divorce, and the changing scale and changing patterns of such marriages, and divorces, and examines how such marriages and divorces are portrayed in different kinds of media. It shows how those types of Chinese-foreign marriage where Chinese patriotism and Chinese values are preserved are depicted favourably, whereas other kinds of Chinese-foreign marriage, especially those where Chinese women marry foreign nationals, are disapproved of, male foreign nationals being seen as having a propensity to infidelity, deception, violence and taking advantage of Chinese women. The book contrasts the portrayal of Chinese-foreign marriage with the reality, and with the depiction of Chinese-Chinese marriage where many of the same problems apply. Overall, the book sheds much light on changing social processes and on current imaginings of China's place in the world.

Xiaorong Li, "The Poetics and Politics of Sensuality in China: The "Fragrant and Bedazzling" Movement (1600-1930)"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1604979526 | PDF | pages: 346 | 18.1 mb
In Chinese literary history, the construction of images of beautiful women by literati tended to reach a high tide during periods of political crisis. This book charts a history in which sensualist poetry reached an unprecedented and unsurpassed height in the hands of the late Ming poets, experienced a period of hibernation during most of the Qing, and then reemerged to awaken the senses of late-Qing and early-Republican readers.

China's Maritime Gray Zone Operations (Studies in Chinese Maritime Development) by Andrew S. Erickson, Ryan D. Martinson
2019 | ISBN: 1591146933 | English | 352 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
China's maritime "gray zone" operations represent a new challenge for the U.S. Navy and the sea services of our allies, partners, and friends in maritime East Asia. There, Beijing is waging what some Chinese sources term a "war without gunsmoke." Already winning in important areas, China could gain far more if left unchecked. One of China's greatest advantages thus far has been foreign difficulty in understanding the situation, let alone determining an effective response. With contributions from some of the world's leading subject matter experts, this volume aims to close that gap by explaining the forces and doctrines driving China's paranaval expansion, operating in the "gray zone" between war and peace.

Bo Kong, "Modernization Through Globalization: Why China Finances Foreign Energy Projects Worldwide"
English | ISBN: 9811360154 | 2019 | 116 pages | EPUB, PDF | 867 KB + 2 MB
This pivot considers how China deals with the globalization of its energy companies in the face of global efforts to combat climate change. It examines how China, following its emergence as the world's largest energy consumer and its resultant growing dependence on foreign energy, engages the world on energy, and its implications for global governance of energy. It notably focuses on the policy impact of China's global engagement for the accelerated "going out" strategy and the so-called "one belt one road" (OBOR) initiative, and profound climate implications for the rest of the world, contending that the type of energy services, technologies, and infrastructure China finances around the globe today will determine the global community's carbon footprint in the foreseeable future.
