From Zero-sum Game to Positive-sum Game: Why Beijing tolerates Pacific Island states' recognition of Taipei
The Pacific Islands region might be regarded as one of the most remote and politically least significant areas in the geopolitical and economic considerations of world giants. However, as the regional order of the Asia–Pacific changes rapidly, China has shown more eagerness to engage the island states. Interestingly, Beijing's former arch-rival Taipei still maintains, arguably, considerable influence over the region. This raises a question that i…

El papel de las empresas de Hong Kong en las relaciones sino-latinoamericanas: La diplomacia portuaria de Li Ka-shing como ejemplo
En los últimos años, las relaciones sino-latinoamericanas han cobrado una importancia estratégica creciente que superó las expectativas comerciales. No obstante, las investigaciones académicas a menudo ignoran las interacciones civiles en este ámbito. Hong Kong, como una Región Administrativa Especial con autoridad para conducir "asuntos externos", funciona como un canal diplomático "no oficial" o "guante blanco" para Beijing, especialmente en te…
Comparative Competitiveness Among Greater China's Next Generation: Guest Editor's Introduction
Future Comparative Competitiveness Under the Same Roof: A Survey of Self-Evaluation from Local and Mainland Students in Hong Kong
Since the handover of its sovereignty to the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong has had to increasingly rely on Beijing to sustain its economic growth and to maintain its competitiveness in the global arena. The almost unconditional support offered by Beijing is given largely on the assumption that the Hong Kong special administrative region, by using its global connections, developed infrastructure, and quality human resources, can still make…
The Hidden Face of Comradeship: Popular Chinese consensus on the DPRK and its implications for Beijing's policy
As China's economic and foreign policies increasingly move away from the country's past socialist ideals, Beijing's attitude towards the DPRK has, in recent years, begun to subtly change. However, the close historic ties that exist between the two ruling communist parties prevent such changes from being overtly publicized in official discourses; criticizing the DPRK in China readily results in serious protests from Pyongyang. The popular percepti…
Have Nuclear Weapons Made the DPRK a Rogue State? Studying the Korean Peninsula Crisis from the Waltzian Theory
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is considered by the West as a troublemaker, the one most responsible for creating instability in the region and the most worrisome security risk. Its possession of nuclear weapons is perceived as an unimaginable threat to world peace in the twenty-first century. As Northeast Asia is a complex of great powers, including China, Japan, Russia, and the US as well as the two Koreas, how to deal with a …

Online Chinese Nationalism and China's Bilateral Relations
Since the Chinese were officially plugged into the virtual community in 1994, the usage of the internet in the country has developed at an incredible rate. By the end of 2008, there were approximately 298 million netizens in China, a number which surpasses that of the U.S. and ranks China the highest user in the world. The rapid development of the online Chinese community has not only boosted the information flow among citizens across the territo…
Failure of the Saffron Revolution and Aftermath: Revisiting the Transitologist Assumption
Myanmar often baffles political scientists throughout the world for the resilience of its military regime and its resistance to attempts at democratization. Although Eastern Europe provides a plethora of examples reaffirming the rosy picture that Western democracy will gradually prevail as the universal political system, Myanmar seems to offer an exception. Paradoxically, most of the factors conducive to the introduction of democratization — such…
Charlene E. Marley: The Violence of Liberation: Gender and Tibetan Buddhist Revival in Post-Mao China
Re-branding without re-developing: Constraints of Hong Kong's ‘Asia's World City’ brand (1997–2007)
Interest among academics towards Hong Kong's global status has gradually waned since 1997. However, identifying Hong Kong's position on the international platform is essential if the Special Administrative Region's competitiveness is to be distinguished from that of regional rivals. The positioning challenge not only results from the sovereignty retrocession, but also from the rapid pace of globalization and the intensified competition from major…
Disharmony at the Grassroots Level: Possible Alienation Caused by Town-Level Direct Elections in China
Does Proximity Encourage Tolerance and Less State-Centrism: Dismissing Monolithic Chinese Youth Perception of Terrorism and Security in a Comparative Regional Study
After 9/11, the exact perception among young Chinese of terrorism and security is little known to the world. What are their views and how are they formed? Are there any obvious differences in perception between young Chinese in different parts of China? What causes this disparity, if there is any? Are these differences intentionally created by the Chinese party-state top-down, or are they only nurtured in a bottom-up, decentralized manner? Using …

A constructed (un)reality on China's re-entry into Africa: The Chinese online community perception of Africa (2006-2008)
China's 21st-century re-entry into Africa has been made with considerable new fanfare and in a manner that contrasts sharply with the Maoist ideologist policy of the 1960s. However, how the Chinese perceive Africa, as expressed by the online community, has been little studied. In a country where full democracy and complete freedom of expression are still lacking, online communication arguably plays a particularly significant role. When it comes t…
Borrowing the Hong Kong Identity for Chinese Diplomacy: Implications of Margaret Chan's World Health Organization Election Campaign
F ■ lhe year 2006 appears to have marked the rise of Asian influence in I the international arena. The positions of secretary-general of the JL United Nations (UN) and director-general (DG) of the World Health Organization (WHO) were both taken up by Asian candidates. While the installation of Ban Ki-moon at the UN was a result of realpolitik compromise, and did not leave much of a role for his native South Korean government to play, the victory …

By dividing the meaning of Chinese nationalism into several layers, the author will explore the potential of nationalism in replacing communism as the new frame for Chinese foreign policy after the death of Mao. Then the article will exami…

Reshaping nationalism: Chinese intellectual response towards Sino-American and Sino-Japanese relations in the twenty-first century
Since the end of the Cold War, the international arena has witnessed two concurrent worldwide trends. One is the gradual prevalence of universalism under the banner of human civilization; the other is the gradual revival of nationalism globally under exactly the same heading. Both trends are evident in China, a country which in the twenty-first century is perceived universally as a rising nation. However, does Chinese nationalism necessarily pose…
