Structuration of Information Control in China
This article analyses information censorship in China. It adopts a theoretical approach which perceives rules and resources as the rudimentary elements that constitute social action and comprise social systems. The rules concerning market formation, technological progress and social stability of the most resourceful state elite dominate the information subsystem. Market rules and technology rules result in information growth, but this is controll…
Social Citizenship in China
A fundamental feature of Chinese social citizenship is the demarcation between the rural population and the urban population. Entitlement to income security and welfare provision has been exclusively a right of city dwellers. However, as economic reform progresses, the socialist welfare system has become unable to provide adequate protection. Welfare reform intends to widen the social security net, yet it has inadvertently exacerbated social ineq…

The Effect of Experience on Adults' Acquisition of a Second Language
Previous research has suggested that child but not adult immigrants to the United States and Canada make regular progress learning English as their length of residence (LOR) increases.

The present study compared groups of Chinese adults living in the United States who differed in LOR in or…

The participants were adult immigrants whose age of arrival in the USA ranged from 1–23 years. English and Korean sentences were rated by native listeners to obtain measures of pronunciation proficiency. English pronunciation of participants with ages of arrival of 1–5 years was close to monolinguals, heavier accents were noted a…
