Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, in-depth, and authoritative guide to China's financial system The Chinese economy is one of the most important in the world, and its success is driven in large part by its financial system. Though closely scrutinized, this system is poorly understood and vastly different than those in the West. The Handbook of China’s Financial System will serve as a standard reference guide and invaluable resource to the workings of this critical institution. The handbook looks in depth at the central aspects of the system, including banking, bonds, the stock market, asset management, the pension system, and financial technology. Each chapter is written by leading experts in the field, and the contributors represent a unique mix of scholars and policymakers, many with firsthand knowledge of setting and carrying out Chinese financial policy. The first authoritative volume on China’s financial system, this handbook sheds new light on how it developed, how it works, and the prospects and direction of significant reforms to come. Contributors include Franklin Allen, Marlene Amstad, Kaiji Chen, Tuo Deng, Hanming Fang, Jin Feng, Tingting Ge, Kai Guo, Zhiguo He, Yiping Huang, Zhaojun Huang, Ningxin Jiang, Wenxi Jiang, Chang Liu, Jun Ma, Yanliang Mao, Fan Qi, Jun Qian, Chenyu Shan, Guofeng Sun, Xuan Tian, Chu Wang, Cong Wang, Tao Wang, Wei Xiong, Yi Xiong, Tao Zha, Bohui Zhang, Tianyu Zhang, Zhiwei Zhang, Ye Zhao, and Julie Lei Zhu.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrace the culture and get the most out of your time in China. Going to China for the first time can be an intimidating experience, even for those who have studied the language. In fact, traveling to China for the second, third, or fourth time can also be a challenging experience, especially if you intend to be fully immersed in daily life, get off the beaten path, and experience the "real" China. This China etiquette and culture guide is about how to get things done in China. Decoding China gives you down-to-earth information on how to deal with everyday situations—like eating at a restaurant or shopping at an outdoor market—that present unique and unexpected challenges for foreign visitors. Why being polite when you board a bus is a big mistake Finding a toilet (and what to bring along!) How to bargain for anything in a Chinese market Which train ticket to buy—hard seat? Soft seat? How the Chinese view privacy, and why it may make you seem suspicious Working in a Chinese office, and the politics of lunch As the Academic Director at the Chinese Flagship Center of Brigham Young University, Dr. Matthew B. Christensen has seen countless foreigners arrive in China…and fail to accomplish simple tasks like ordering food, boarding a bus, or making friends with a Chinese colleague. Why? Because they didn't understand China's basic cultural codes. This travel book will help you crack these codes. And with it, you'll soon be able to navigate your way in any situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary China is dynamic and complex. Recent dramatic changes in the Chinese economy, society, and environment pose numerous challenges for scholars of China. This Handbook will define contemporary China Studies for the social sciences: investigating how we can best study China; exploring the transformations of contemporary China that inform how we study China; presenting the breadth and depth of the China Studies field; and identify future directions for China Studies. In two volumes, the Handbook situates China Studies in history and context. Each chapter in Part One provides an overview and historiography of how scholars have conceptualized the Chinese state, nation, economy and environment, and analyzes trends in terms of different research approaches, types of sources, and trends in the study of these broad concepts. The next five parts cover substantive themes in China Studies, including economic transformations; politics and government; China as a global actor; urbanization and urban development; and Chinese society. In conclusion, the Handbook draws together critical discussions of emerging issues of transdisciplinary approaches to China Studies, the future of Chinese historical Studies, and the future of China in comparative contexts.

This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is part of an initiative in cooperation with renowned Chinese publishers to make fundamental, formative, and influential Chinese thinkers available to a western readership, providing absorbing insights into Chinese reflections of late, and offering a chance to grasp today’s China. In their influential book Handbook of the History of Religions in China, Zhongjian Mou and Jian Zhang present a panorama of the religions existing in China through time. In their fascinating History, they delineate the emergence and development of Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity and explore the roles they played in Chinese society and the interrelations between them. In China, also due to the encompassing Confucian idea of “living together harmoniously while maintaining differences,” religions—including newly arrived ones—came closer together than anywhere else in the world and reached a unique level of peaceful societal coexistence. Despite many frictions and conflicts, communication and reconciliation were indisputably predominant in China throughout history. Buddhism was peacefully introduced into China and, later on, a harmonious, symbiotic syncretism of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism developed—an exemplary process of how a diverse set of different religions can complement each other and contribute to a better life.

The opening section provides the reader with inspirational and practical tools that are essential when planning their trip.

There is an 8-page Trip Planner section including suggestions for a series of itineraries that make best use of your time, whether you're on a whistle-stop tour of the major sights or a month-long odyssey. What sets the guide apart is the illuminating Unique Experiences section, packed full of practical advice on how to make the most of some of the opportunities unique to China - including climbing one of its sacred Buddhist or Daoist mountains, shopping for bargains in what has recently become the new 'workshop of the world', and visiting the amazingly colorful minority groups of the southwestern backwoods. The Places Section divides China's immense terrain into 8 sections. Starting in the capital, Beijing, with its array of fabulous sights, it goes on to explore the northern reaches including the ancient heartlands around the Yellow River; the fascinating megalopolis of Shanghai; the Yangzi region of central China; the subtropical south; Hong Kong and Macau; the dramatic, colorful southwestern provinces; and, finally, the far-flung western regions of Tibet and the lands along the ancient Silk Road.

The Places section is interspersed with fully mapped tours, suggesting a classic walking route such as the contrasting sights of central Shanghai or a tour of the ancient walled city of Dali, and Cultural Spreads that give a striking insight into elements of Chinese culture and the visitor experience, from traditional medicine to train travel.

This book was released on 1991-05-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paradox of contemporary China - its openness to Western technology, yet its rejection of Western democratic ideals - serves to make China appear remote and inaccessible to those outside. The country's vast area and population only accentuate these difficulties. The Cambridge Handbook of Contemporary China presents topical information on all aspects of Chinese life since 1949, with particular emphasis on the 1980s; its major strength is its contemporary focus and easy-to-use format. Useful maps and tabled statistics accompany the text, which is divided into clearly defined categoried. Designed for students, specialists, educationalists, journalists and those in business and government as well as the general reader, the Handbook provides easy access to information on all areas of Chinese life and is a good starting-point for research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese People: A Handbook on China This Handbook is intended to furnish students - particularly students of Foreign Missions - with a repertory of information on things Chinese, and to form an introduction to wider study. The bibliographical lists appended to the volume will provide guidance to those readers who wish to extend further their researches into any of the subjects here discussed. The materials supplied in the following chapters have been collected and arranged from various sources, supplemented by the writer's own information and reflections, which are based on the knowledge and experience gained during his residence in Mid-China, as a missionary of the Church Missionary Society, since 1861. And here the writer wishes to record his sense of the great advantage which would have accrued had he been able, in compiling this Handbook, to avail himself of the wide and deep scholarship and the yet longer experience of his brother, the late Bishop G. E. Moule, of Mid-China, his exemplar and leader for half a century, to whose memory he dedicates the book.
