Cyber Politics in US-China Relations
by Cuihong Cai (Fudan University, China)
This book discusses four distinct aspects of cyber politics in US–China
relations:
• The overall analysis of the role and manifestation of cyber
politics in international relations from a theoretical perspective,
• The main issues regarding cyber politics in US–China relations,
• The factors influencing cyber politics in US–China relations,
and
• The prospect and practice of cyber politics in US–China relations.
Based on an exploration of issues in cybersecurity, cyberspace governance,
ideology and the power tussle in cyberspace between the US and China,
as well as an analysis of the factors influencing cyber politics in the bilateral
relations from the perspective of strategy, discourse, and trust, this book
asserts that cyberspace is rapidly becoming a new arena for the geopolitical
games between the US and China. A new form of cyber geopolitics is thus
emerging.

Chinese History and Civilisation
An Urban Perspective
by Victor Fung-Shuen Sit, retired
(University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong)
The emergence of a city marks the beginning of a civilisation. The city,
especially the leading cities of a country, is also where the major features
of a country are contained and where historical events play out. This book
introduces readers to the progress of China’s civilisation over more than
5000 years of history, through the rise and development of its cities.
From the prehistoric Yangshuo and Longshan periods all the way to the
People’s Republic, this book outlines major events and developments to
highlight the evolution of the Chinese civilisation. Using historical dynasties
and urban dynamics as vertical dimensions, it examines major historical
events, economic developments, territorial changes, and other developments
over China’s long history. It also discusses the uniqueness of China’s history
and compares its civilisations to Western experiences.

The Digital Transformation of Property in
Greater China
Finance, 5G, AI, and Blockchain
by Paul Schulte (Schulte Research, Singapore), Dean Sun (Schulte
Research, Singapore) & Roman Shemakov (Schulte Research,
Singapore) Foreword by: David Lee
“At face value, if you’re not familiar with or operating in the industry, a
discussion on China’s property market and its digital transformation would
seem either too niche or too complicated. Yet the masterful narration and
poignant insights penned by Paul, Dean, and Roman make this a compelling
and important read for all. They map out the digitalization of property against
the backdrop of China’s increasingly dominant technological innovation.”
Tan Yinglan
Founding Managing Partner
Insignia Ventures Partners, Singapore
Long-planned advances in China — in 5G, blockchain, central bank coins,
and SME superapps — have coalesced into a new world of digitized,
tokenized, and tradable assets. This book explores the many people and
companies, large and small, which are blazing new trails in China’s ‘Internet
of Everything’ to transform the way we live, buy, and move.

China’s Economic Challenge
Unconventional Success
by Albert Keidel (George Washington University, USA)
This book analyzes economic strategies responsible for China’s 40 years of
40-fold growth, suggesting how such strategies might be applied elsewhere. It
combines a seven-chapter chronological analysis of China’s growth with three
additional chapters on the government’s leadership role, success in poverty
reduction, and China’s combined international finance and trade experience.
Including an analysis of the US – China trade war and China’s economic
prospects in the wake of COVID-19, it is a clear and timely account for
anyone interested in understanding the institutions and policies responsible
for China’s successful development and its likely continuation.

Crossroads of Family
Businesses in China
Succession and Transformation
by Jean Lee (China Europe International
Business School, China) & Yan Anthea Zhang
(Rice University, USA) Translated by: Jun He
“This book is one of the few books worth recom-
mending in the field of Chinese family business. It
has both theoretical framework and a practical point
of view. The book employs rich and vivid stories to
discuss transformation and inheritance of family businesses.”
Allen Cai Hongqing, Founder of Taiwan Institute of Directors
This book highlights common issues such as:
• The challenges for both succession and transformation of the
company,
• The interest of the second generation,
• Family culture and morale,
• The distinction between wealth inheritance and business
succession,
• The unorthodox tradition of mother-to-daughter succession, and
• Opening management to professionals.

Doing Good Business in China
Case Studies in International Business Ethics
edited by Stephan Rothlin, Dennis McCann
Rothlin Ltd, Beijing, China & Rothlin Ltd, Hong Kong)
& Parissa Haghirian (Sophia University, Japan)
“This volume of 46 case studies is much more than
a collection of particular challenges of enterprises in
China. Not only does it explain the broader Chinese
context and thus help to overcome widespread
ignorance and prejudices but it also provides ethical
and legal guidance by drawing on Confucian values and national and
international standards of corporate responsibility. While courageously critical
in its analysis, it shows many innovative ways for GOOD business in China.”
Georges Enderle, John T Ryan Jr.
Professor Emeritus of International Business Ethics
University of Notre Dame, USA
The 46 original case studies featured in this book demonstrate that in
many business sectors, local people and foreigners are responding to the
challenges of achieving business success while competing with integrity.
Each case is followed by a discussion section with questions to prompt
reflection.

Weapons of the Rich
Strategic Action of Private Entrepreneurs in
Contemporary China
by Thomas Heberer (University Duisburg-Essen,
Germany) & Gunter Schubert (Eberhard Karls
University Tübingen, Germany)
Most Chinese scholarship describes private
entrepreneurs as being politically acquiescent due
to systematic co-optation by the party state. This
book, however, argues that private entrepreneurs
should be understood as a ‘strategic group’ that makes use of different
formal and informal channels to safeguard and expand its interests, though
so far it has not challenged the current regime. State-business relations in
contemporary China should thus be understood as a dynamic symbiosis in
which private entrepreneurs contribute substantially to policy and institutional
change.

“This book makes its mark by explaining the
South China Sea disputes not only from traditional considerations
such as aggressive nationalism and sovereignty claims but also
basing these explanations on theories of international relations that
deal with the dynamics of how states behave in the international

The Belt and Road Initiative
Implications for the International Order

This book showcases how the People’s Republic
of China (PRC) has been utilizing the Belt and
Road Initiative (BRI) to reshape the global
order. Dissecting China’s increasingly assertive
international behaviour, the book demonstrates how
the PRC projects its self-perception onto the international order.
Drawing on an in-depth analysis of hundreds of primary BRI documents,
the book offers a comprehensive overview of China’s most crucial foreign
policy agenda item. It also further discusses the implications of the BRI for
the international legal order.

Reform of the International

Chinese Perspectives and Strategies
by Xiao Li (Jilin University, China)
Translated by: Yong Jiang (Guangdong

This book proposes that the short-term goal of the
current reform of the international monetary system
should be a combination of controlling “imbalances”
and the “risk of the dollar”, namely using the balance
of payments coordination mechanism to suppress risks by exchange rate
cooperation.
The book discusses the mechanisms that will continue to support the
hegemony of the US dollar and the US dollar system in the future. It predicts
that the current international currency system dominated by the US dollar will
remain sustainable for a long time, and proposes four strategies for China’s
participation in the reform of the international monetary system.

Decoding China’s Export
Miracle
A Global Value Chain Analysis
by Yuqing Xing (National Graduate Institute for
Policy Studies, Japan)
“Yuqing Xing provides a fascinating, accessible,
and timely account of the crucial role of global value
chains in powering China’s transformation into the
world’s leading exporter. The book is a ‘must have’
for anybody seeking to understand micro dimensions of the contemporary
and future global economy, including the forces pushing China towards an
inward-looking strategy in high technology, and the risks thereof.”
Etel Solingen
Distinguished Professor

Conflict Studies

This book adopts the global value chain (GVC) approach to analyze the
Chinese export miracle over the last four decades. It focuses on the tasks
rather than the gross export value and emphasizes the organizations of
modern trade rather than the national comparative advantage. The book also
discusses the future trajectory of China-centered GVCs under the shadow
of the US-China trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic.

China’s Industrial Policy
Transformation
Theory and Practice
by Hanquan Huang (National Development and
Reform Commission, China)
The debate on industrial policy has been in full
swing among the academic circles in recent years.
The crux of this debate is not whether China needs
industrial policies, but rather, the kind of industrial policies it wants.
This book suggests establishing a “market-friendly” industrial policy
system dominated by functional industrial policies, in accordance with the
requirements of building an “interactive and cooperative” government-market
relationship to help transform and upgrade China’s industries.

The Chinese Communist Party
in Transformation
The Crisis of Identity and Possibility for Renewal
edited by Lance L P Gore (East Asian Institute,
National University of Singapore, Singapore)
This book examines the key aspects of the
transformation of CCP in the rapidly changing
national and global context. It highlights the
problems faced by the ruling Leninist party in
adapting to a capitalistic environment that its organisations cannot fully
control and its ideology cannot effectively rationalise. It also examines
CCP’s strategies for adaptation in the areas of ideological reformulation,
party-society relations and the ways of exercising power and maintaining
internal cohesion. In addition to helping the readers understand how China
is ruled and how the Chinese system operates, the book also highlights the
evolutionary dynamics of Chinese politics in the environment created by
CCP’s reform and open-door policies.

China’s Political Economy in
the Xi Jinping Epoch
Domestic and Global Dimensions
edited by Lowell Dittmer (University of California
at Berkeley, USA)
This book takes a fresh look at Chinese political
economy at a key inflection point. Facing a more
competitive international environment, Chinese
reform has shifted from its earlier focus on economic
liberalization and political decentralization to a more tightly organized,
centralized form of state socialism. This has been occurring in an international
context of slowing trade and nationalist pushback against “globalization”,
prominently including bilateral Chinese – American polarization. While China
has been among the staunchest advocates and beneficiaries of globalization,
incipient trade war “decoupling” has spurred movement toward economic
and technological self-reliance. Turning inward however vies with a rival
impulse toward more vigorous engagement in the world.

The book expounds on the role played by democracy
in China’s revolution and modernization led by the
Communist Party of China (CPC), and how the
CPC, in both its party building and state building,
has constantly sought to leverage democracy’s
positive functions while avoiding its shortcomings.
The author, a mwember of the Party’s senior policy panel, offers a perceptive
analysis of the modernization of the country and its governing capacity, and
provides a clear assessment of how democracy in China has developed
with the times.

Political Stability in China’s
Changing Social Landscape
by Wei Shan (East Asian Institute,
National University of Singapore, Singapore)
This book aims to contribute to the debate on
“authoritarian resilience” with empirical studies from
a range of perspectives, including regime support,
nationalism, environmental movement, ethnic
conflicts and internet management. The chapters
in this book centre around two separate but intertwined themes and are
collated to discuss on the stability of China in Xi Jinping’s era. The first theme
examines changes in political attitudes and values among Chinese citizens,
and the second focuses on the responses of the party-state and how it has
made sophisticated the machine of social control.

Women Hold Up Half the Sky
The Political-Economic and Socioeconomic
Narratives of Women in China
by Tai Wei Lim (Soka University, Japan &
National University of Singapore, Singapore)
China ranks behind the developed West in terms
of female participation in politics and has a biased
gender ratio for babies. While the rankings indicate
quantitative statistical numbers, they do not fully
reflect the ongoing social transformation in China.
It does not capture the mindset changes of how Chinese women feel about
themselves or the attitudinal changes that are transforming contemporary
Chinese women. Most importantly, it misses the narratives that Chinese
women have about their own lives. This volume looks into some macro
factors that have an impact on gender conceptualizations in China and aims
to provide a multi-perspective overview of women’s economic status and
social construction in China.

This book provides a comprehensive examination
of value changes of Chinese citizens, especially the
younger generation, and how the Chinese authorities
take efforts to adapt to such changes and refine its

administration, and how it has sophisticatized the machine of social control.
With these three themes, this book also adds on to the understanding of
regime stability of the Communist system in China, and how this system
handles a variety of challenges brought about by dramatic social changes.
