The relation between China and the United States is arguably the most important bilateral relation in the world today. The U.S. and China are respectively the largest and the second largest economies in the world. They are also respectively the largest and the second largest trading nations in the world as well as each other’s most important trading partner. If China and the U.S. work together as partners towards a common goal, many things are possible. However, there exist significant friction and potential conflict in their economic relations. The large and persistent U.S.-China bilateral trade deficit is one of the problems. It is essential to know the true state of the China-U.S. trade balance before effective solutions can be devised to narrow the trade surplus or deficit. The impacts and potential impacts of the 2018 trade war between China and the U.S. on the two economies are analysed and discussed. The longterm forces that underlie the economic relations between the two count

This work offers the most comprehensive account of the origin and consequences of the Yan’an Rectification Movement from 1942 to 1945. The author argues that this campaign emancipated the Chinese Communist Party from Soviet-influenced dogmatism and unified the Party, preparing it for the final victory against the Nationalist Party in 1949. More importantly, this monograph shows in great detail how Mao Zedong established his leadership through this party-wide political movement by means of aggressive intraparty purges, thought control, coercive cadre examinations, and total reorganizations of the Party’s upper structure. The result of this movement not only set up the foundation for Mao’s new China, but also deeply influenced the Chinese political structure today. The Chinese version of How the Red Sun Rose was published in 2000, and has had twenty-two printings since then. ~~~~~~ “This lucid translation of Gao Hua’s seminal study of the Yan’an rectification movement and the rise of

The personal stories of the Gao villagers demonstrate and are related to changes in China. This is a close study of Gao Village twenty years after the author, an anthropologist and native of Gao village, wrote his original ethnography Gao Village. It combines ethnographic analysis, personal vignettes, and a number of fascinating stories, which presents a convincing yet complex picture of how Gao villagers interact with the outside world. With his sympathetic and insider’s approach, the author argues that rural Chinese display great entrepreneurship and inner strength of self-improvement; they are active contributors to China’s economic boom. ~~~~~~~~ “This is a close ethnographic look at the world of Gao villagers twenty years after the author, an anthropologist and native of Gao village, wrote his original ethnography. Through a look at Gao villagers, including the ethnographer’s own family and extended kin, we are able to see the decline of agriculture and the integration of rural

放棄工作在家照顧小孩子，是否便成為奔波於超市格價、印花儲備戰的師奶？還是午後吃個下午茶看場戲，與其他不用上班的媽媽一起聊八卦？ 資深記者梁小島在誕下孩子後，成為了全職媽媽。原本以為照料嬰孩只是事業過渡期，沒想到產後的各種壓力和迷茫撲面而來，更差點患上產後抑鬱症。因此開始思考「母親」這個角色到底代表了甚麼，並尋訪同樣當上全職媽媽的女性，與她們一起聊個人與事業、金錢、丈夫、孩子、自己母親，還有，自己與自己之間的關係。 要不要做一個全職媽媽，可以簡化為to be or not to be的抉擇，也可以泛談都市女性個人與家庭的關係，或是親子的密切，但全職媽媽的內心深挖下去，是日常瑣碎裡的驚心動魄，是自己與自己的孤獨對話。在得與失之間，全職媽媽們重新學習愛，理解愛。

幫助孩子時間管理，父母需要有新的眼光， 時間管理不是為了「更快」，而是為了「更幸福」， 不是把「to do list」（待辦事項）完成，而是實踐「to be list」（自我實現）， 是用「合適」的速度，投入精力做「重要」的事。 要學齡前的孩子去房間拿雙襪子，結果拿了30分鐘，進去一看，他忘了襪子，正在玩湯瑪士小火車。其實他不是故意的，是因為大腦前額葉還沒發展成熟，短期記憶的容量太小。這時父母可以透過作息、對話與遊戲等方式，建立孩子時間觀念。隨年齡不同，引導方式也相對不同。 時間管理的能力，關鍵在給孩子足夠的自我探索、自我認識， 因為時間管理也牽涉到「我是誰？」、「我要實現什麼目標？」、「我要成為什麼樣的人？」 本書有0～15歲三大成長階段的時間管理分齡指南，幫助父母建立新的時間管理教養觀。

Putting admirable rationales of university education into practice is never easy. While it is popular to emphasize market values and competitive rankings, moral values and ideals sound way too lofty nowadays. Under tensions on campus and in society, the head of a university takes the role of striking a balance as skilfully as possible. Professor Joseph Sung is no exception to all these challenges. He has been enjoying university life with teachers and students, going through ups and downs with them. This book, a collection of 57 blog articles by Professor Sung during his tenure as the seventh Vice-Chancellor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, tells us the stories. He talks about higher education and social responsibility, pathways and choices our youths make, the visions he had and the challenges he faced, and life values which he wishes his students could take seriously. Though generations come and go, he still cares that they live a simple, noble and humble life. He hopes we ca

He began writing poetry as a sent-down youth in Baiyangdian, rural Hebei province, during the Cultural Revolution. One of the progenitors of what would later be called Obscure or “Misty” poetry, his spare, impressionistic poems were among the first to break free of the imposed discourse of Maoism towards an image-based literary style that left space for both expression and interpretation. He currently makes his living as an abstract painter and lives in Songzhuang, an artists’ colony on the outskirts of Beijing.

This book is a study of social and cultural change in the lower Yangzi delta. This region, Ming China’s economic heartland, flourished commercially and culturally during the sixteenth century, and its elites maintained strong political ties with the central government at Beijing. Drawing upon a large body of contemporary writings, the author discusses important socio-economic and cultural trends wherein scholars and scholar-officials entered the marketplace while the merchant class improved its status and importance. For all the benefits they brought about, these developments sowed the seeds of trouble. The author explains how unconstrained profit-seeking eroded the social and moral fabric of society and widened the gap between rich and poor. Toward the end of the sixteenth century, economic conditions worsened. Bitter resentments gave rise to popular riots against predatory great families. Eventually, mass revolts across the empire and Manchu’s invasion dealt a crushing blow to th

1975–1984: the decade leading up to the signing of the Sino British Joint Declaration witnessed the rise of China from an isolated country to a serious economic player on the world stage and the decline of the British empire. Torn between the two was Hong Kong, a stable and prosperous British colony with an almost wholly Chinese population, a city world renowned for money-making with little interest in politics. What would be Hong Kong’s fate after 1997? At times astute and uncannily prescient, at other times wildly imaginative, Lam Hang-chi’s daily editorials in the Hong Kong Economic Journal analysed and conjectured Hong Kong’s options at the time. His opinion sparked debates and frequently provided a focal point for the discussion on Hong Kong’s future; His views on housing, assimilating immigrants, the collusion of politics and business, issues that are foremost in Hong Kong today, still inform. For the first time, they are made available in English. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

近代中國詩之英譯範本，去認識中華文化的價值 今天，我們在一本書中細讀現代中國三十位風雲人物的詩詞，可以認清每個人的人格和事業功過，同時看清歷史的過程和真實。 ★ 欣賞古詩體裁寫現代人情世事 陳寅恪有「以詩證史」的說法。實在，詩詞流瀉的人情，連歷史亦容納不盡。今天，我們在一本書中細讀現代中國三十位風雲人物的詩詞，可以認清每個人的人格和事業功過，同時看清歷史的過程和真實。 Chen Yinke offered a concept of “poems substantiate history”. As we present in one book the poems of thirty poets who had helped to shape modern China, we anticipate readers to find the contents rich, revealing and meaningful. Our readers will see from the words of the poets a clear view of who is what, and identify wise decisions from selfish mistakes. They will then understand history in human dynamic terms.

China stands as a major “Red Swan” challenge to the social sciences. The resilience of the Communist party-state, in combination with a rapidly expanding and internationally competitive economy, challenges conventional models of economic development and political change. This book focuses on crucial governmental action programs and examines the manner in which they were developed, formulated, implemented, adjusted, and revised. It finds that Chinese policy making has been driven by a distinctive political methodology—an unusual combination of long-term national agendas with versatile local policy experimentation—that serves as an effective mechanism for policy innovation and correction, and thus provides strong adaptive capabilities in a perpetually shifting economic, technological and international context. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An original and persuasive book by one of the leading scholars of China’s policy-making process. The paradox of China’s successful market reforms is that they wer

Previous collections of photographs illustrating the lost world of Old Hong Kong have tended to focus exclusively on black-and-white images from before the Second World War. In this new collection of photographs from the period 1948-1969, Otto Lam has instead selected a dazzling array of images in glorious full colour, most of them taken by overseas visitors to Hong Kong, including some of the earliest surviving colour views of the city and its environs. These evocative images demonstrate what a vibrant place Hong Kong was during this crucial period in the colony's rapid economic growth and modernisation. This volume, covering a wide range of images from daily life in post-war Hong Kong, comes at a time when a new generation of citizens is taking a greater interest in the rich and largely intangible heritage of their city.

Through an array of some 900 terms, it exhibits the history of Chinese culture, as interpreted by artists and portrayed in their work.

自二零一一年，我已經開始輔助和指導初創企業，而在期間發現越來越多的企業找不到適當的發展方向。這些企業很多是擁有可觀的科技或創新概念，但可惜的是他們並不知道怎樣可以脫離困境。雖然現在市場上有眾多的創業培訓，課程，工作坊以及講座，但是這些資料很多只會增加他們的迷亂，不能為他們指向出路。這就等同把一幅一千塊拼圖在沒有秩序下個別的提供，導致創業家沒框架把海量的信息進行梳理和存檔為往後採用。這框架的需要便是本書的推動力。 本框架的起點是基於企業的作用。可能有些人士會說企業的作用是為社會創造和提供價值，但這答案未免太高層，導致一些企業變為追求科技的完美或其他不切實際的目標。其實一家企業最基本的作用必然是能帶來收入，因為沒有收入的企業是沒有生存空間的。本人相信運用這個簡單的聚焦便可以回答 “怎樣才可以讓初創企業的產品成功”這個關鍵問題。畢竟科技無論多寶貴或重要，最終還是需要變為產品才能發揮力量的。本人還相信通過這個聚焦更可以清理很多創業家的迷惑，讓他們可以更清楚理解他們的現狀以及需要採取的措施。 基於這個信仰，本人在二零一二年選擇回到香港科大創業中心來進一步確實這想法的可行性能，以及通過服務各階段的創業家來把十幾年的經驗提煉成一個創業框架。通過這四年的時間，二萬九千人時的講座，十多名企業家的輔導，以及中間的眾多次修正，這框架的材料最終在二零一六年才能面世，而在之後一年的努力下才能把這本書寫出。本框架的主要功能是通過一套完整的系統來指導企業去把他們的概念或技術進化成一個有突破口，有增長點的產品設計要素以及相關的推廣方案。為了實現這功能，該系統需要指導企業去找出關鍵的價值主張(V)，相應的市場突破口(P)和市場增長點(G)，以及產品(P)的六個關鍵設計要素。這四各環節加上最後的推廣方案(P) 便是本框架以VPGPP命名的原由。 有些朋友可能會問這個VPGPP框架和市場學的4P框架有何區別。其實這兩個框架的目的並不一樣，因此雖有相似之處，但其效果或用途就自然是天與地別。比如，本VPGPP框架是為了解決初創企業需要發展第一個產品，組合第一個團隊，以及在沒有品牌沒有渠道前提下啟動銷售的種種獨特難題。相對來說，4P是用來幫助較大型企業來管理他們的推廣，產品，銷售點以及價格的工具。所以如需要說他們的關係，那就只可以說VPGPP最後的兩個P便包含了4P在內，但這兩個P也同時需要與另外三

This publication accompanies an unprecedented exhibition highlighting four of the magnificent chinoiserie tapestries of Chinese Emperor Qianlong, woven after designs by François Boucher at the famous Beauvais manufactory from 1758–1760. The large and well-preserved textiles form part of the royal French commission by King Louis XV, objects of which were presented to Qianlong in 1766. These celebrated tapestries are joined by another historic set of culturally related depictions in print—The Battles of the Emperor of China. The engravings were ordered by Qianlong, drawn by Jesuit painters at the Imperial Court in Beijing and then printed in Paris 1769–1774. The ‘culture’ of these prints follows King Louis XIV’s influential images of the Histoire du Roi and presents Qianlong as both a war hero and as the undisputed leader of China in the mid-eighteenth century. These depictions date to the exact same time period, one that coincides with the high demand for chinoiserie in France—culmina

十年代末，來自五湖四海的「海歸派」為香港帶來了西方的現代舞、形體劇場、實驗錄像、裝置藝術等前衛的現代藝術概念和作品，啓發了不少土生土長的文藝青年…… 八十年代社會經濟起飛，透過電視劇、電台節目、電影、流行音樂的廣泛傳播，發展出種種屬於香港的普及文化，實為重要的啟蒙年代。 你可能聽過「進念人」這個稱號，卻不知道他們的來頭，對背後的故事更加無從稽考；你或許看過進念的劇場演出，卻不知道他們想表達什麼，甚至發誓不再光顧。無論如何，進念為這個城市孕育了不少異數。正如黃偉文在 《Concert YY》演唱會分享：「後來讀大學，我加入了『進念．二十面體』，裏面有一大堆全部都係咁怪的人。我就覺得，其實我是ok的。我甚至知道，好可能我是X-Men那些friend。」 這班「X-Men」在「教授」榮念曾的引導下，透過舞台上的「行行企企指指點點」練成各種異能並散落於不同的文化板塊 ── 電台、雜誌、出版、流行樂壇、藝術音樂、電影、紀錄片、實驗錄像、MV、廣告、攝影、造型、時裝、設計、漫畫、飲食文化、教育…… 他們隱性的次文化因子逐漸「滲透異化」，甚至在流行文化舞台上佔據了重要的位置。 Leumas To在著作中訪問了黃耀明、黃偉文、歐陽應霽、何秀萍、于逸堯、胡恩威、陳輝雄、月如惠等重要「進念人」，透過文字和插畫解構過去三十五年發生的事情，作為年輕人尋找下一步的重要憑證和參照。
