Wei Tian – författare

In this book, philosopher Tian Wei asks the central question of what constitutes religious existential ethics. Tian investigates Christian ethics and Confucian ethics, so as to understand and expound them as forms of religious existential ethics.The book integrates two paradigms into the framework of religious existential ethics at the metaphysical level, viewing them as a kind of religious existential ethics but with variable thoughts and models. The concept of religious existential ethics points to a universal and fundamental value-based existential order grounded on ultimacy and oriented towards transcendence. Based on the development of the Christian Bible and modern theology as well as the Four Books of Confucianism and other ideology texts, this book confronts some fundamental lines of inquiry, including: God in Christianity and destiny in Confucianism, sin in Christianity and goodness in Confucianism, and salvation through others in Christianity and self-cultivation in Confucianism. Further chapters also shed light on the ideas of God’s love in Christianity and benevolence in Confucianism and the hope of eternal life in Christianity and the pursuit of immortality in Confucianism.Ultimately, through religious existential ethics, Tian demonstrates how despite the conceptual intersections between Christianity and Confucianism, each has developed distinctly, with manifold spiritual implications.

This book introduces readers to the latest technological advances in the emerging field of intelligent orthopaedics. Consequently, these techniques have become indispensable for various orthopaedic interventions, which has led to the emerging field of intelligent orthopaedics.

This book focuses on China's fast-growing outward foreign direct investment (ODI) and discusses the underlying causes and profound effects of Chinese enterprises’ “going global.” The book includes eight chapters to analyze the basic characteristics of China's ODI manufacturing enterprises, examine the relationship between enterprise productivity and ODI, investigate the differences between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in factor market, enterprise ownership and investment, analyze the overall effect of the foreign direct investment (FDI) and thereby the China–US bilateral investment treaties (BIT) on Chinese manufacturing sector in terms of productivity and profitability of the firms. The last chapter provides an overview of China’s three stages of economic reform and opening-up policy in the past four decades, and analyzes the reasons for China’s realization of the splendid economic achievements within such a short time and the main driving forces of China’s incremental international trade in different stages, and discusses the future tasks that would promote the country into a new stage of all-round opening-up.The book aims to illustrate the evolution of China’s opening-up design during the past decades and discuss several most important measures to build an all-around opening-up strategy. Based on these profound analyses, the book provides further policy implication for the sustainable development of China’s opening-up.

This book focuses on input trade liberalization in China and discusses the underlying causes and profound effects of Chinese enterprises facing import liberalization of intermediate input. The content of this book includes ten chapters. The analysis of this book mainly uses academic research, with policy study for a few chapters. Most chapters in this book apply the standard method of contemporary economic systems, integrating into the most advanced economic theories of international trade. The author uses theoretical models to obtain predictions which receive empirical support and carries out strict empirical research using data of China's manufacturing enterprises and China's customs to analyze the causes which affect Chinese enterprises facing import liberalization of intermediate input after China’s reform and opening-up.The suggested readership would be the public who are willing to understand the issues closely related to China’s input trade liberalization and opening-up policy, and basic knowledge in economics would be necessary in understanding the academic research part of the book. Meanwhile, this book is also specifically compelling to business persons and policy makers in that it enables deeper understanding on issues about outward foreign investment of enterprises and China’s opening-up policy and facilitates their decision-making process.
