With the exception of Canada’s relationship with the United States, Canada’s relationship with China will likely be its most significant foreign connection in the twenty-first century. As China’s role in world politics becomes more central, understanding China becomes essential for Canadian policymakers and policy analysts in a variety of areas. Responding to this need, The China Challenge brings together perspectives from both Chinese and Canadian experts on the evolving Sino-Canadian relationship. It traces the history and looks into the future of Canada-China bilateral relations. It also examines how China has affected a number of Canadian foreign and domestic policy issues, including education, economics, immigration, labour and language. Recently, Canada-China relations have suffered from inadequate policymaking and misunderstandings on the part of both governments. Establishing a good dialogue with China must be a Canadian priority in order to build and maintain mutually beneficial relations with this emerging power, which will last into the future.

"Connecting" and "distancing" have been two prominent themes permeating the writings on the historical and contemporary developments of the relationship between Southeast Asia and China. As neighbours, the nation-states in Southeast Asia and the giant political entity in the north communicated with each other through a variety of diplomatic overtures, political agitations, and cultural nuances. In the last two decades with the rise of China as an economic powerhouse in the region, Southeast Asia's need to connect with China has become more urgent and necessary as it attempts to reap the benefit from the successful economic modernization in China. At the same time, however, there were feelings of ambivalence, hesitation and even suspicions on the part of the Southeast Asian states vis-a-vis the rise of a political power which is so less understood or misunderstood. The contributors of this volume are authors of various disciplinary backgrounds: history, political science, economics and sociology. They provide a spectrum of perspectives by which the readers can view Sino-Southeast Asia relations.
Transcultural Encounters in the Himalayan Borderlands by Markus Viehbeck Pdf
This collaborative study investigates the hill station of Kalimpong and the larger Eastern Himalayan borderlands as a paradigmatic case of a “contact zone.” In the colonial and early post-colonial era, this space enabled a variety of encounters: between (British) India, Tibet, and China, but also Nepal and Bhutan; between Christian mission and Himalayan religions; between global flows of money and information and local markets and practices. Using a plethora of local and global historical sources, the contributing essays follow the pathways of people from diverse cultural backgrounds and investigate the new forms of knowledge and practice that resulted from their encounters and their shifting power relations. The volume provides not only a nuanced historiography of Kalimpong and its adjacent areas, but also a conceptual model for studying transcultural processes in borderland spaces and their colonial and post-colonial dynamics.
Doing business in China is no simple matter. While Silicon Valley companies and multinational corporations have at their disposal lawyers, quality control firms and a raft of contacts that smooth their entry into the Chinese market, most small to medium sized enterprises simply cannot afford such services. To make matters worse, myths about the quality of Chinese goods and the country's murky legal system abound, making the possibility of a China venture for most seem even more unrealistic. Thankfully, author, China-hand and longtime manufacturing guru Tom Galey is here to help. In Making the China Connection Galey uses his 30-plus years of work experience in Asia to provide readers an invaluable insider perspective on doing business in China. Leaving no stone unturned, Galey teaches what it takes to get a product made, as well as the historical and cultural information necessary to building successful, ethical relationships with Chinese business partners. If you do not know but want to learn about the nitty-gritty details of factory payments and shipping options or how cultural concepts such as Face and Guanxi might make or break your business deal, then Making the China Connection is for you.
Lee Kai-Chang was tired of being the model obedient Chinese son. He was tired of all that his family represented--the establishment, affluence and traditional values. He wanted a cause. When he left his home, he was determined to overthrow his family, his whole class, and the existing puppet government of Taiwan. Searching for excitement, Lee joined forces with the People's Liberation Army, a rebel communist organization. Although his life became filled with action, it was void of purpose or meaning. Before long, Lee found himself in prison, scorned by his family. There came the message of salvation from his Christian uncle. Now Lee's enthusiasm was rechanneled into God's work. Filled with courage and vigor, he became involved in an effort to smuggle Bibles into the People's Republic of China. Now, he really had a cause --From publisher's description.
