Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection.This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR. This a

During the nineteenth century, the transpacific world underwent profound transformation, due to the transition from sail to steam navigation that was accompanied by a concomitant reconfiguration of power. This book explores the ways in which diverse Mexican, British, Chinese, and Japanese interests participated, particularly during Porfirio Díaz’s presidency at the peak of Mexico’s participation in the steam network: from its 1860s outset through a time of many revolutionary changes ending with the World War, the Mexican Revolution, the opening of the Panama Canal, and the introduction of a new maritime technology based on vessels run by oil. These transoceanic exchanges, generated within these new geographies of power, contributed not only to the formation of a transpacific region but also to refashioning the Mexican national imaginary. With transnationalism, global and migration studies as its main framework, this study draws upon a dazzling array of primary sources to center Mexico’

The Hong Kong Cemetery in Happy Valley is home to over 470 graves connected to the city’s Japanese population. Most of these graves belong to individuals who died during the Meiji era (1868–1912), a remarkable period of modernisation and opening up of Japan that saw thousands of its inhabitants travel to other parts of the world to study, work, and settle. Who were these people? What were they doing in Hong Kong? And why were unbaptised Japanese buried in what was called at one time the ‘Protestant Cemetery’?Hong Kong’s Meiji-era Japanese community was one of two halves. Company executives sat atop the social ladder and karayuki-san, or prostitutes, occupied the lower echelons, with tradespeople and professionals somewhere in between. By revealing the personal journeys of these mostly forgotten Japanese, the authors aim to add to transnational perspectives on Hong Kong and Japan during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as increase recognition of this fragmented

The young novelist Aoyama Chizuko has sailed from her home in Nagasaki, Japan, and arrived in Taiwan. She's been invited there by the Japanese government ruling the island, though she has no interest in their official banquets or imperialist agenda.

引導學習具體的表現力及敘述力實現整體基本能力的架構藍圖工業製圖主要係指工程圖（Engineering Graphics）的繪製，由於「圖」本身是沒有國界的差別的，特別是工程圖，所以有人說工程圖是一種世界語言（World Language）。工程圖既然是工程上表達溝通的方式，自可說是工程應用上最必需具備的專業知識。人類歷史發展的趨勢，國家工業化程度愈高，代表國家愈進步，也就更需要實用的工程技術人才，以奠定工業發展的基礎。因此，工業製圖也是國家實力強弱的重要因素。本書的目標，在於協助讀者培養正確工程圖觀念之能力，熟悉國家標準工程製圖規範，並培養良好的製圖工作習慣，及具備繪圖、設計製圖之能力。雖然目前已進入電腦繪圖時代，但電腦本身並無法自行繪圖。在進行電腦繪圖之前，操作者必須先具備有上述的正確工程圖觀念、標準工程製圖規範、繪圖及設計製圖之能力等，才能應用電腦軟體，去從事工業製圖工作，這是讀者首先在觀念上要澄清的。如上所述，在進行工程製圖之前，必須要具備許多相關的專業知識。因此，一般學習工程製圖的過程，都是先學習專業知識及儀器畫，一邊藉由學習儀器畫過程，一邊同時將相關的專業知識融會貫通。等後來進入電腦繪圖環境時，便能輕易上手；況且在萬一沒有電腦可以使用的情況時，仍可輕易利用儀器畫以解決問題。本書編排即是本著上述原則，著重專業知識及儀器畫，使讀者具備良好的工程製圖基礎。

This commentary on the Analects will bring you back in time to meet the Sage whose teachings on benevolence and integrity are deeply infused within the Chinese culture。 Confucius’ students included political advisors，military strategists，educators，businessmen，philosophers，warlords，and kings。 How could he possibly teach his way so calmly and gracefully through states and kingdoms of hegemons vying for regional power？ Who was this man！？ This is a book by two masters，one ancient and one contemporary，both enigmatic。 The lives of Confucius and Master Nan Huai-Chin (Nan Huaijin)，in many ways，parallel each other。 Both lived through tumultuous times，both had to leave their home state and wander only to return in old age to their birthplace。 They were teachers，learned in many fields and arts and in life itself，but not scholars in the traditional sense；rather，they were masters of all they engaged in。 They had students from all walks of life，were advisors of statesmen of all ranks and were flan
