This book was originally pubished in 2000. China is the largest developing country in the world and is still heavily based on agriculture. Currently, about 70 per cent of China's total of more than one bilion people live in rural areas, and about half of the total national labour force is involved in agricultural activities. It is clear that agriculture is the foundation for the development of the Chinese national economy. Within agriculture, the grain economy is the most important sector: indeed it has been recognised as a treasure in managing the country by all past Chinese dynasties. Ensuring enough grain supply to meet the demands of such a huge population seems to be a long-term goal for the Chinese government and this book explores whether China will be able to produce enough grain to keep pace with its population increases.

China's rapid and sustained growth over last thirty years has propelled it to become the world's second largest economy today and potentially the largest in the foreseeable future. As one of the first major economies pulling out of recession and the last remaining major socialist country in the world today, China presents a challenge to established thinking on the essential primacy of global capitalism and the settled nature of the world system - as China becomes more integrated into the world economy and the international system, both are themselves potentially transformed as a result of China’s involvement. This book explores a wide range of issues connected with the impact of China on the global economy and the prevailing international system. Subjects covered include China’s multinationals, international acquisitions, the exchange rate, research and development and technology transfer, China’s emerging major business groupings, and small and medium sized enterprises.

Although Chinese economic growth continues strong, and although China coped very well with the recent global crisis, the Chinese economy faces many challenges, including how to sustain growth, how to rebalance the economy towards more domestic consumption, how to accommodate rising wages, growing social and regional inequality, and how to reform financial and monetary policies. This book examines the key challenges currently facing the Chinese economy. It considers Chinas’ increasing global impact, discusses the institutional drivers of China’s economic growth, assesses critically China’s need for structural reform, and explores issues related to sustainability and human rights.

Renmin Chinese Law Review, Volume 12 is the twelfth work in a series of annual volumes on contemporary Chinese law which bring together the work of well-known scholars from China, offering an insight into current legal research in China.This volume addresses crucial areas of Chinese law, such as the protection of both property and obligatory rights, the concept of legal interpretation, fraud regulation, tax burden distribution, and mediation models. Distinguished contributors also present fresh perspectives on significant topical subjects, including the age of criminal liability in China, the cooling-off period before divorce, the criminal attribution of securities market manipulation, the evolution of privacy ideas, and the indigenization of the accomplice subordination principle.Containing diverse and original contributions, this book is an essential resource for scholars and students of Chinese law, society, and politics. It is also invaluable to policymakers and members of diplomatic communities with an interest in the field.

Specialized research on high-voltage insulator wetting behavior and contamination flashover Few books address the wetting characteristics and contamination behavior of high-voltage insulator under varying environmental conditions. Theory and Application of Dynamic Wetting for High Voltage Insulator consolidates a decade of research published in IEEE Transactions and IET Journals into a single authoritative reference. Written by Tsinghua University researchers with extensive IEEE leadership roles, this volume connects fundamental wetting dynamics with practical field applications. The book examines contamination wetting behavior mechanisms and their impact on insulator performance through on-site examples and engineering applications. Critical findings for ultra-high voltage engineering address contamination flashover prevention, dynamic environmental factors, and power system reliability improvement strategies applicable to modern transmission infrastructure. Key topics include: Wetting characteristics of high-voltage external insulation with detailed analysis of contamination behavior under varying environmental conditionsPerformance and application of insulation materials for reliable operation under complex and harsh service conditionsAdvanced monitoring, assessment, and management approaches for external insulation condition and operational riskFundamental principles of high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage engineering relevant to modern power transmission systemsImpacts of climate variability and extreme environments on insulation performance and corresponding mitigation strategiesFor power system engineers, high-voltage equipment researchers, and graduate students in electrical engineering, this reference provides specialized knowledge previously scattered across journal literature. It delivers both theoretical foundations and practical methodologies for addressing external insulation challenges in modern power transmission systems.
