China's Economy
"This book is an effort to explain how China's economy got to where it is today, where it might be headed in the coming years, and what China's rise means for the rest of the world. It is intended to be useful to the general reader, who has an intelligent interest in China and its global impact but not necessarily a specialized background in either China or economics. Since the first edition was published in 2016 China's relevance to the world has increased dramatically, thanks to the more assertive foreign policy of president Xi Jinping and the move by the United States under the Trump Administration to treat China as a geopolitical rival. Because of its sheer size, the growing tensions wit...
Rete e social media in Cina
La Cina digitale cresce con estrema velocità e i numeri lo dimostrano: crescono gli accessi a Internet, aumentano coloro che si connettono in mobilità, i domini di siti cinesi si moltiplicano, l’e-commerce vede incrementi percentuali di clienti a due cifre. Un nuovo mondo digitale, quello orientale, da noi ancora sconosciuto, ma che si espande e stimola le imprese a guardare verso questa nuova frontiera. Baidu, il «Google cinese», impiega oltre ventimila persone e conta 100 milioni di utenti attivi sui servizi mobile, rappresenta uno dei protagonisti emergenti della nuova scena digitale cinese insieme a un variegato panorama di social media e piattaforme di e-commerce sempre più utilizzate. Tencent, per esempio, è il colosso cinese del web nell’ambito dei social network, dei giochi online e dell’e-commerce, oltre a essere uno dei principali investitori in start up ad alto contenuto tecnologico; WeChat, la sua app di instant messagging per smartphone, spopola con oltre 300 milioni di utenti. Il futuro è nella telefonia mobile che supererà l’accesso a Internet da desktop, prefigurando quella che è una vera e propria mobile economy.

China in Drag

Multiple Modernities
Multiple Modernities explores the cultural terrain of East Asia. Arguing that becoming modern happens differently in different places, the contributors examines popular culture - most notable cinema and television - to see how modernization, as both a response to the West and as a process that is unique in its own right in the region, operates on a mass level. Included in this collection are significant explorations of popular culture in East Asia, including Chinese new cinema and rock music, Korean cinema, Taiwanese television, as well as discussions of alternative arts in general. While each essay focuses on specific nations or cinemas, the collected effect of reading them is to offer a comprehensive, in-depth picture of how popular culture in East Asia operates to both generate and reflect the immense change this significant region of the world is undergoing. Contributors include: Jeroen de Kloet, Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto, Yomota Inuhiko, Frances Gateward, Hector Rodriguez, Dai Jaihua, David Desser, August Palmer, Lu Szu-Ping and the editor.
Control
‘More cosmopolitan, more lively, more global’ is how the China Daily summed up the year 2016 in China. It was also a year of more control. The Chinese Communist Party laid down strict new rules of conduct for its members, continued to assert its dominance over everything from the Internet to the South China Sea and announced a new Five-Year Plan that Greenpeace called ‘quite possibly the most important document in the world in setting the pace of acting on climate change’. The China Story Yearbook 2016: Control surveys the year in China’s economy, population planning, law enforcement and reform, environment, Internet, medicine, religion, education, historiography, foreign affairs, and culture, as well as developments in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
