Book Synopsis China Briefing, 1980 by : Robert B. Oxnam
Download or read book China Briefing, 1980 written by Robert B. Oxnam and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1980-11-16 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight essays on Chinese affairs comprise this document. Compiled in response to the China Council's objective of making available to the public materials which meet the steadily rising demand for information about contemporary China, the document focuses on Chinese art, literature, politics, foreign policy, literature, society, and economic development. Each of the articles mixes a succinct review of current affairs with broader analysis of implications for China and China's roles in the world. Authors include officials from the Asia Society and professors of political science, economics, oriental art, and East Asian languages and cultures. Essay titles are "Introduction," by Robert B. Oxnam; "Deng Xiaoping: China's Old Man in a Hurry," by Richard C. Bush; "Politics in the PRC: Entering the Fourth Decade," by David M. Lampton; "China's Economic Readjustment: Recovery or Paralysis?" by Nicholas R. Lardy; "Painting with a New Brush: Art in Post-Mao China." by Michael Sullivan; "Recent Chinese Literature: A Second Hundred Flowers," by Leo Ou-fan Lee; "Chinese Foreign Policy in 1979," by Robert A. Scalapino; and "Uncertain Future: Politics in Taiwan," by Hung-mao Tien. Basic themes which appear repeatedly throughout these essays include that the remarkable changes in Chinese politics and economics have been paralleled by a dramatic opening in the areas of art and literature, there is a new seriousness about education, religion is enjoying a resurgence in several major cities, the Chinese are working very hard to restore unity after the topsy-turvy years of the Cultural Revolution, and rapid economic development has overshadowed egalitarianism as China's central goal. The document concludes with appendices which present information on biographical sketches of members of the Chinese Communist politburo and on a statistical profile of Chinese economic development.

Can the Chinese leadership end, once and for all, the contentious debate over the Cultural Revolution and the leadership of Mao Zedong? Can it strengthen currently frayed bonds of loyalty between a battered state and a skeptical society? What will a new administration in Washington mean to U.S.-China relations? These and other questions are addressed by China specialists in China Briefing, 1981, prepared by the China Council of The Asia Society.

Book Synopsis China without Mao by : Immanuel C. Y. Hsu
Download or read book China without Mao written by Immanuel C. Y. Hsu and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-03-22 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in a new, updated edition, this groundbreaking book on post-Mao China, written by the distinguished Asian scholar Immanuel C.Y. Hsü, explores the astonishing transformation that has occurred there. Since Mao Zedong's death in 1976, China's leaders have launched an ambitious modernization program aimed at making their nation a relatively prosperous socialist state by the year 2000. Along with the first edition's examination of the smashing of the Gang of Four, the evolution of a new order under Deng Xiaoping, the manner and costs of modernization, the normalization of relations with the United States, and the prospects for reunification with Taiwan, the second edition offers an insider's view into China's policies of accelerated economic development and opening to the outside world, adopted at a December 1978 party conference. Focusing on the cultural impact of these policies, Hsü candidly reveals both the improved standard of living and the serious fundamental problems--including high inflation, widespread corruption, crises in leadership, loss of faith in communism, and especially the recent student protests--resulting from these recent developments. The new edition also includes a postscript which takes into account the causes and consequences of the Tian An Men Square massacre in June of 1989.

Book Synopsis China Briefing 2000 by : Tyrene White
Download or read book China Briefing 2000 written by Tyrene White and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 2000 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on China's 20th-century transformation. Contributors explore developments over the 1997-1999 period and place them in a wider historical perspective by examining: where China has travelled; what has changed and how much; the century's enduring themes; and prospects for the future. The chapters in this latest edition of China Briefing reflect broadly on China's transformation in the twentieth century. The authors not only examine developments in China over the 1997-1999 period, but also place these events in a wider historical perspective by addressing the following questions: Where has China traveled over the course of the century? To what extent has it been transformed, and how? What are the enduring themes or points of continuity, even during a century of great change and transformation? And what are China's prospects for the future?
Book Synopsis The Chinese Military System by : Harvey W Nelsen
Download or read book The Chinese Military System written by Harvey W Nelsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the Chinese military, and thereby the dynamics of China’s peacetime army, one must understand its organizational system. To that end, Harvey Nelsen has written a book that examines in detail the entire organization of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Dr. Nelsen studies the PLA from top to bottom. Throughout, he challenges the widely held theory that military politics in China are largely determined by personal relations among officers and that the PLA is more a civic-action army than are most military organizations. Important as a purely military study, this book is valuable also for the light it sheds on the whole of Chinese bureaucratic politics. This second edition has been revised to reflect changes that have occurred since the death of Chairman Mao as well as to incorporate new information about the Chinese military and political system during Mao’s reign.

Book Synopsis Postsocialist Cinema in Post-Mao China by : Chris Berry
Download or read book Postsocialist Cinema in Post-Mao China written by Chris Berry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the fundamental shift in Chinese Cinema away from Socialism and towards Post-Socialism can be located earlier than the emergence of the "Fifth Generation" in the mid-eighties when it is usually assumed to have occured. By close analysis of films from the 1949-1976 Maoist era in comparison with 1976-81 films representing the Cultural Revolution, it demonstrates that the latter already breaks away from Socialism.
Book Synopsis Chinese Propaganda Posters: From Revolution to Modernization by : Stefan Landsberger
Download or read book Chinese Propaganda Posters: From Revolution to Modernization written by Stefan Landsberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brightly coloured prints, portraying model behaviour or a better future, have been a ubiquitous element of Chinese political culture from Imperial times until present. As economic reform swept the People's Republic in the 1980s, visual propaganda ceased to depict the tanned and muscular labourers in a proletarian utopia, so typical of preceding decades. Instead, Western icons of progress and development were employed: high-speed bullet trains, spacecraft, high-rise buildings, gridlocked free-ways and projections of general affluence. Socialist Realism was phased out by design and mixed- media techniques that were influenced by Western advertising. This lavishly illustrated study traces the development of the style and content of the Chinese propaganda poster in the decade of reform, from its traditional origins to its use as a tool for political and economic purposes.
