Gao Village Revisited
Vital factors for Chinese rural development
This paper, by a case study of Gao Village, examines how two factors, i.e. lineage identity and the reach of the state, impact on local governance in rural China. The paper argues that the withdrawal of the state was detrimental to local governance in the first 20 or so years of post-Mao rural China. With the abolition of agricultural tax and various levies, and the introduction of rural subsidies, rural healthcare and medical care insurances and…
Influences of Native Culture and Language on Intercultural Communication
The paper is a discussion of verbal and non-verbal communication issues encoutered by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) students as immigrants in Australia. It is based on a large survey study as well as interview studies of PRC students who were granted residence status by the Australian government after the 1989 Tiananmen events. When immigrants initially live in a society which is culturally different, their own culture is still with them m…

Factional Politics in the CPC
The interpretation of the CPC elite politics in terms of factionalism or informal politics is well recognised. The effects on ordinary citizens at the grassroots level of the authoritarian nature of the Chinese political system is also well documented. Although factionalism, informal politics and the authoritarian nature of CPC politics have been demonstrated and analysed extensively, most of the scholarship focuses on the description of politics…
From Student to Citizen
This article is a survey of students from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) who arrived in Australia after 1986 and were still there in 1992. Students from the PRC began to enter Australia in 1972 when China and Australia established diplomatic relations. The numbers were insignificant until 1986 when Australia launched its education export policy. The article provides statistics and analysis on the motivation of these students, their educatio…
Involutionary Rural Development and the Possibility of a Breakthrough
The post-Mao rural reforms have been generally accepted as a step forward in improving human conditions in rural China. It is true that in areas such as Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu improvement is impressive, though in other areas improvement has affected only a portion of the population.1 This study of one village, Gao Village, argues that in some areas rural life is not a clear-cut picture of total improvement since 1978. It shows that there…
Memoirs and interpretation of the cultural revolution
In recent years a large number of memoirs providing important information and insights about contemporary China have become available in Chinese and English. These memoirs also give us an emotional dimension in our understanding of China's history and politics. However, how to read and interpret these memoirs is an important issue for historians and political scientists. This is particularly true when we read the accounts by the survivors of the …
Dōu as a wide scope universal quantifier
May (1977, 1985) argues that the rule of Quantifier Raising (QR), which is an instance of Move 8 is operative at the level of Logic Form (LF) in English. Based on the assumption that QR is operative at the level of S‐Structure (SS) in Chinese and that the lexical item dōu is relevant to the application of QR at SS in Chinese (Gao 1989, 1990), this paper, by demonstrating a set of properties of dōu, aims to argue that dōu is a wide scope universal…
