Economic reform in China has led to migration of people on a scale never before seen in the country. Since China's new industrial revolution began in the late-1970s, there has been a flow of tens of millions of surplus rural labourers and their families moving from rural to urban areas. This phenomenon has been described in terms of both a blessing for China's economic development and a threat against its social order. This volume examines the different aspects of internal Chinese migration, including a brief introduction to current research and pointers to the methodological traps that can occur in the field.

Understanding Globalization by Robert K. Schaeffer Pdf
This book examines the globalization of production and its impact on work and gender relations, the impact of technology on workers around the world, the economic problems associated with debt crisis, the political opportunities associated with democratization, the impact of global warming, the reasons behind China's rise as an economic superpower, and the problems in countries across the Middle East that culminated in the attacks of 9/11.
China's Next Strategic Advantage by George S. Yip,Bruce McKern Pdf
A book for everyone who does business with China or in China. The history-making development of the Chinese economy has entered a new phase. China is moving aggressively from a strategy of imitation to one of innovation. Driven both by domestic needs and by global ambition, China is establishing itself at the forefront of technological innovation. Western businesses need to prepare for a tidal wave of innovation from China that is about to hit Western markets, and Chinese businesses need to understand the critical importance of innovation in their future. Experts George Yip and Bruce McKern explain this epic transformation and propose strategies for both Western and Chinese companies. This book is for everyone who does business with China or in China, or is interested in the development of the world's fastest-growing economy. Western CEOs can learn from Chinese companies and can create an effective innovation process in China, for China and the world. Chinese CEOs can benefit from understanding the strategies of their peers as they strive to enter foreign markets. And all Western businesses should prepare for disruption from their new competitors. Yip and McKern provide case studies of successful firms, outline ten ways in which the managerial and innovative capabilities of these firms differ from those of Western firms, and describe how multinationals doing business in China can become part of the Chinese ecosystem of new knowledge and technology. Yip and McKern argue that these innovation capabilities will be the basis for creating world-class products and services to meet the challenges of a new era of global competition.
US-China Relations in the Twenty-First Century by Michael Tai Pdf
The relationship between the United States and China will be of critical importance to the world throughout the twenty-first century. In the West China’s rise is often portrayed as a threat and China seen in negative terms. This book explores the dynamics of this crucial relationship. It looks in particular at what causes an international relationship to be perceived negatively, and considers what can be done to reverse this, arguing that trust is a key factor. It goes on to discuss US and Chinese rhetoric and behaviour in three key areas – climate change, finance, and international security. The book contends that, contrary to much US rhetoric, China’s actions in these areas is often much more flexible and accommodating than the US position, and that the Chinese are much more knowledgeable about, and understanding and appreciative of, the United States than vice versa.
Asian and Pacific Coasts 2011 by Joseph H. W. Lee Pdf
This is a compilation of papers presented at the 6th International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts (APAC2011) held on December 14OCo16, 2011 in Hong Kong, China. It contains more than 200 articles addressing a wide spectrum of issues, ranging from conventional coastal engineering problems (such as wave hydrodynamics and sediment transport) to issues of contemporary interest (such as tsunami, coastal development, climate change and seawater level rise, shoreline protection, marine energy, nearshore ecology, oil spill, etc.). Authors present their experiences in tackling these problems, by means of theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, laboratory and field observations, with an aim to advance fundamental understanding of the controlling mechanisms, as well as to develop solutions for practical designs. This volume serves to promote technological progress and activities, technical knowledge transfer and cooperation on an international scale."

Oceanology of China Seas by Zhou Di,Liang Yan-Bo,Zeng Cheng-Kui (C.K. Tseng) Pdf
ZENG Cheng-kui (C. K. TSENG) Research Professor; Director Emeritus illStitllte of Oceanology, Academia Sillica Qillgdao 26607 J, China Ten years ago I was invited by Professor John Steele, Director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute of the U. S. A. to write a preface for the special issue on "Oceanography in China" for the Oceanus. I was then the Director of the Institute of Oceanology, Academia Sinica. I gladly appreciated the honor, and in the preface I briefly enumerated the history of oceanology, or oceanography according to the American custom, in China dividing it into four stages: the founding stage 1950-1956, the growing stage 1956-1964, the partial expanding stage 1965-1978, and the elevation stage since 1978 (Tseng, 1983/84). The founding stage of Chinese oceanofogy should actually start in 1931 with the establishment of the short-life Chinese Marine Biological Association in old China. The following twenty years in Chinese history between 1931 and 1959 comprised a very memorable period in China, badly marked by the World War II, and the 1946-1950 civil war. Some scattered research in marine biology was conducted in phycology, invertebrate zoology and ichthyology, mostly in taxonomy. A little work was devoted to delta geology and tidal and seawater temperature records. Two expeditions were organized and sent by the National Central Academy of Sciences to the Bohai Sea in 1935 and by the Beijing Academy of Sciences to the Jiaozhou Bay in 1936, both engaged principally in marine biological research.
Unforgettable describes this tale, Journey to China, that sweeps the reader not only into adventures when a family of six from a small desert, farming community in southwestern United States begin the trip to China that started as routine with a dual purpose of escorting their niece to her parents who are attending Peking University and to schedule a visit with the girls’ pen pal but also find themselves caught up in intrigue as they become a target from a spy from the Central Communist Government. Share their adventures as they experience China’s century old customs battling with modern day philosophies as an economic and militaristic country among the cultural treasures and great wonders of the world along with high speed transportati on, high rises and new emphasis on education. As they learn to bridge the language barrier, there is new respect for the Chinese people who have been inventors, artists, music, and more for over three thousand years. In the countryside, the families find a quiet and calm environment. While visiting the pen pal family, they assist in a disaster that makes them heroic in the whole country. On the return trip home, they encounter an earthquake within the Ring of Fire followed by a tidal wave that may jeopardize their lives along with the other 300 passengers in a crippled airplane. Will they be able to utilize their ingenuity and create a miracle to save themselves?
