Abstract
This paper analyzes Kenneth Lieberthal's "Governing China", an account of China's politics and its elaborate bureaucracy from 1949 into the twentieth century. The paper shows how Lieberthal investigates the historical events that have led China to becoming a country in the midst of burgeoning economic growth, the challenges of succession to political power, human rights and the issue of being the world's most populous nation.
From the Paper
"Liebrethal writes with a clear understanding of the Chinese political system. He also suggests that even though the government has made many strides, it remains authoritarian and determined to prevent any organized opposition to its rule. Although the author discusses the democratic movement, most Chinese do not consider it a viable alternative to the current government, and most protest activity now is expressed in single-issue demonstrations. In contrast to Democracy movement activists, most members of the liberal faction do not overtly call for the overthrow of the Communist Party nor do they deny the possibility of reform from within the Party."

Abstract
This paper points out the necessity of exploring the effectiveness of current corporate government in China. The paper explores the problems that currently exist and their effects on the economy. The paper aims to be a solution-based research that seeks to make recommendations as to legislation and internal control mechanisms that will be useful in maintaining acceptable standards of corporate governance in China's future.
Outline:
Literature Review
Corporate Governance and Valuation
State vs. Private Ownership
Investor Protection
Methodology
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The literature review revealed that some attention has been paid to corporate governance and its effects on competitiveness and firm trustworthiness as far as investors are concerned. However, it also revealed that regionalization due to an inferior infrastructure plays a significant role in the inability to apply uniform laws. Several important factors were revealed that may serve as metrics for the current study. For instance, executive salaries were found to be directly linked to firm performance in state-owned enterprises. A significant difference exists between private enterprise and state-owned enterprise. This will have to be addressed as well. Now let us examine an overview of the methodology that will be used to explore these research issues. "

From the Paper
"In the concluding chapter to his book "Governing China" Kenneth Lieberthal presents his readers with a series of the most likely outcomes of China's current situation for the immediate future. This essay will analyze Lieberthal's presentation, with a particular focus on the option that Lieberthal describes as an "elite authoritarian nationalist system," (Lieberthal 334). This essay will argue the thesis that this is the most plausible scenario for China's development in the immediate future, with "soft and corrupt authoritarian system" followed by general "success" as the less likely options."

Koryo and Buddhism: Their Governing Ideology, 2002.
Assesses to what extent the Buddhism affected the governing ideologies of Koryo.

»

Abstract
Any assessment of the role of Buddhism as the governing ideology of Koryo is complicated by the existence of multiple classes in Korean society at the time and their conflicting religious allegiances. Therefore, while Buddhism was the state religion in the time of the Koryo, it cannot be considered the governing ideology of the state, in the same way that communism was the governing ideology of China under Chairman Mao.

Mainstream Chinese Media, 2006.
A look at how the government of China uses the Chinese media as a propaganda tool for manipulating the population.

Abstract
Authoritarian regimes are notorious for using the media as a means by which they can inculcate regime-friendly values while simultaneously discrediting adversaries at home and abroad. This paper examines the Chinese government's use of the media as a propaganda tool, pointing out that while its manipulation of the media may be more subtle than many of the repressive regimes which have preceded it or which exist contemporaneously with it, the fact remains that the power brokers in Beijing have been very quick to control the kind of news which reaches the eyes, ears and ultimately minds of Chinese citizens.

Abstract
This paper addresses the growing issue of HIV/AIDS infection in China. The paper examines the spread of the disease in the country, as well as typical infection patterns. Government responses to the issue are also discussed, with strong arguments made that the Chinese government has a long history of repressing information about AIDS infections within the country.
From the Paper
"The first time that a case of AIDS was reported in China, the year was 1985. This is generally consistent with the time frame of when the virus began to appear around the world. Nonetheless, while China was only reporting its first case in the mid-1980s, that was not the case in the rest of the world. By that time, AIDS had taken hold of many groups of people. Despite being a latecomer to the AIDS crisis, the World Health Organization estimated in the mid-1990s that Asia would account for most new cases of AIDS by the year 2000."

Abstract
This paper argues that the government currently in Taiwan is the proper and original government of China and therefore Taiwan, and not continental China, should be labeled the "mainland" for it is the first true China.
From the Paper

The Republic of China underwent a series of changes in the following decades that led to the nationalist government that was in power in 1949. Led by Chiang Kai-shek the Nationalist government of China in 1949 became engulfed in a brutal civil war with the communists led by Mao Zedong. The communists quickly defeated Chiang and the Nationalist forces and forced them to retreat to the island of Taiwan, where Chiang proclaimed Tapei, Taiwan the temporary capital of China".

Abstract
This work makes a thorough review of the available literature relating to U.S. trade relations and policy with China, as well as the impact that free trade has had upon human civil rights and democracy in the country of China. The paper states that one of the important outcomes of free trade in the country of China has been the reduction of poverty. This in turn, according to the paper, has lead to growing power vested in citizens of the country and less power vested in the ruling party. Furthermore, it asserts that the rapid change in China has been termed to be a 'transformation' in many primary aspects of living demonstrated in the improved economic and financial aspects in China, as well as serving to impact political aspects in the country as well. The paper concludes that the government in China does not appear to be ready to shun the economic benefits of trade liberalization even if that means making room for the effects of democratization that goes along with economic benefits.
Outline:
Introduction
Idealism versus Realism
Free Trade: U.S.and China Trade Relations
Trade Liberalization and Democratization
Creeping Democratization (Minxin, 1995)
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The work of Ying Ma relates that in spite of what the United States or even the citizens of China may desire, 'the Chinese Government has so far quashed and neutralized pressure for fundamental political change. Beijing controls and stunts precisely those instruments that contribute to the success of broad-cased domestic opposition: It cracks down on political opponents, co-opts potential ones, and indoctrinates the masses. It is eagerly attempting to maximize economic modernization while minimizing its liberalizing effects.' (Ma, 2007) Ying Ma states that there are several 'concrete steps' that might assist promotion of democracy in China. The first of these steps is that 'the United States should not wade into the quandary of slowing Chinese economic growth and cannot stop the Chinese government from institutionalization itself or co-opting its rival political groups,...' however it is possible that the U.S. can do more toward combating 'other sources of authoritarian resilience by strengthening China's political opposition and countering the regime's restriction of coordination goods that range from press freedom to the ability to organize.'"

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in China, 2008.
This paper discusses the role of government policy in attracting
foreign direct investment (FDI) in China.

Abstract
This paper explains that, with the advent of its reformist policies in the late 1970s, China opened what is potentially one of the world's large markets to foreign direct investment (FDI). The author points out that, initially, the government tried to draw that investment into areas that were familiar to emigres resulting in a spectacular influx of FDI. The paper reports that, in subsequent years, the government has attempted to redirect FDI to other areas, with much less success. The author points out that FDI is allocated through the decentralized, largely market-oriented mechanism, which supports the view that the Chinese central government has only a limited capacity to compel private groups and local governments to adhere to policies it believes are in the national interest The paper concludes that China has received a huge amount of FDI, which will have profound impacts on that country in the coming decades.
Table of Contents:
The Reform Period and Foreign Direct Investment
The Goals of Reform
China and FDI: The Initial Success
The Inability to Control Special Interests
The Lack of Social Embeddedness
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Indeed, the change was sufficiently sudden that in several instances, the ideological rationale for the change was not formulated until after markets were opened to foreign investment. The rationale for the new policy was reflected in several areas. In terms of economic development, the Chinese conceded that despite major gains, their economic condition was not improving at a rate comparable to that of other comparably situated countries. The new policies were advanced as allowing China to secure needed new sources of capital, advanced technology, advanced management skills."

Abstract
This paper reviews "Understanding China: A Guide to China's Economy, History and Political Structure" by John Bryan Starr. This paper discusses China's ancient culture and its emergence as one of the foremost powers in the modern world. This paper focuses on China's recent admission to the World Trade Organization and as well as its economy which is set to become the largest in the world within the next few years. The writer of this paper examines China's political history and contends that in spite of the country's numerous transformations, the structure of the government is today fundamentally identical with what it was under the later imperial dynasties. Today, there is no emperor at the top, but instead a small committee of the leading members of various political parties who hold much the same position. Although there had been significant changes in China's economy, few political changes transpired. The communists still hold a monopoly of power and although its economic policies scarcely seem to be communist anymore, it does not intend to relax its political grip.
From the Paper
"Starr contends that China remains one of the most self-contained and hence inscrutable countries in the world. It has an ancient culture of major historical importance, and has been emerging as one of the foremost powers of the modern world. It is the third largest country in the world and certainly the most populous, with about one-fifth of the world's total population. Modern communications make it as easy to reach Beijing from London or New York as it is to get to Singapore or Nairobi. Yet China remains little known and poorly understood; few foreigners learn its language or study its history and culture. Although foreign trade and tourism have increased dramatically in the last decade, they are only very slowly leading to any changes in foreign perceptions of China."

Abstract
This paper reviews Burstein and de Keijzer's "Big Dragon China's Future: What it Means for Business, the Economy, and the Global Order" in which both authors predict that by the 2030s China will be the world's largest economy. This paper discusses the various companies that have suffered due to the shifting politics of foreign policy between China being in favor one day and out the next. This paper also details the views of Jeffrey Garten, a writer for "Harvard Business Review" who sees China as enticement for foreign investors, yet stresses caution should be used in developing any business relationship with China. This well-written paper covers several areas regarding China's economy including a U.S. initiative supporting China's membership in the World Trade Organization, expansion of U.S. public-private partnerships to invest and help solve particular problems in China and development of China's policy mutually with U.S. allies. "Big Dragon" profiles many individual Chinese entrepreneurs and others who are bringing a new China into being. This paper also focuses on Zhang Wei, one of China's more successful entrepreneurs, who went from government researcher to heading a company employing 400 in only three years. Despite the differences between practices in China and other countries, many corporations are willing to take a big gamble on China, seeing that their future is dependent on their performance in China.
From the Paper
"Over the course of his history, Zhang has captured the essence of the Chinese business world of "catch-as-catch-can". His corporation has various types of holdings, often-different one from the other. Zhang has bridged the gap across the Pacific with the United States with his position of "master franchise holder in China" of an American company, Fun World. What makes this situation particularly unique is that it is one of the first companies in China "to buy an interest in a U.S. company." At the time Big Dragon was written, Zhang was "negotiating an arrangement that would shift manufacturing of all the equipment for the centers to China." Zhang hopes to take the U.S. company over altogether, including the export of the concept to "other countries and selling the franchisees Chinese-made equipment." Zhang has encountered some problems along the way, problems that are compounded by China's culture and lack of laws, which govern specific business issues. One is that franchisees have stolen the company name and have opened their own centers."

USA and China Hostilities, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses America's trade imbalance with China that is fueled by China's failure to prevent copyright infringement and the sale of counterfeit goods as well as China's artificial currency devaluation. The paper also looks at the issue of Chinese spies stealing industrial secrets from American and European firms. The paper provides suggestions for improvement and argues that America needs to peacefully use their economic position to force China to compete fairly. The paper asserts that America should use legal, diplomatic and media pressure to force China to behave ethically.
From the Paper
"The United States and China have a long history of hostility and distrust. In recent years this hostility has centered on several economic issues. These include America's trade imbalance with China, a deficit fueled in part by a huge Chinese market in pirated American intellectual property and brand name knock-offs. Further, U.S. and European firms claim that Chinese industrial spies have stolen technology for products ranging from computer chips to cruise missiles."

"Human Rights Violations in China: Repression of the Falun Gong
This research paper discusses the origins, nature and appeal of the Falun Gong movement in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its repression by the Chinese government. Since it assumed power in October 1949, the Chinese communist regime has committed many human rights abuses which have been a source of internal unrest and foreign disapproval. Since 1992, the Falun Gong movement spread rapidly within China and among overseas Chinese. It has appealed to many ordinary Chinese from all walks of life. A mixture of traditional Chinese religious, philosophic, martial and healing arts influences, Falun Gong has partially filled a spiritual void arising out of China's economic modernization and the decline of Communist ideology. The movement has been forcibly repressed by the PRC government since July 1999..."
