THE CHALLENGES OF GOVERNANCE SURVEY CHAPTER RESPONDING TO CHALLENGES AND
PROBLEMS OF GOVERNANCE 3 WANG ZHENGXU & LYE LIANG FOOK CHINA S
LEADERSHIP IS GRAPPLING WITH MOUNTING SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AND RISING
EXPECTATIONS. BESIDES VARIOUS POLICY MEASURES TO COPE WITH THESE
CHALLENGES, THE PARTY AND GOVERNMENT HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RE-INVENT
THEMSELVES IDEOLOGICALLY AND ORGANISATIONALLY. TOPICAL CHAPTERS THE
DYNAMICS OF ELITE POLITICS IN CHINA 11 BO ZHIYUE ELITE POLITICS IS
INCREASINGLY BEING INSTITUTIONALISED. THE DYNAMIC INTERACTIONS BETWEEN
POLITICAL INSTITUTIONALISATION AND FACTIONAL POLITICS HAVE CONTINUED TO
INFLUENCE LEADERSHIP LINE-UPS. HOW DID THE HU-WEN LEADERSHIP CONSOLIDATE
ITS POWER? 16 LAI HONGYI HU }INTAO AND WEN JIABAO HAVE SURPRISED MANY
WITH THEIR RAPID CONSOLIDATION OF POWER. THEIR SUCCESS RESULTS FROM THE
ONGOING INSTITUTIONALISATION OF LEADERSHIP SUCCESSION, AS WELL AS HU S
EFFECTIVE POLITICAL SKILLS IN BUILDING A POLITICAL COALITION TO
ESTABLISH HIS AUTHORITY. THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY IN RAPID
TRANSFORMATION 20 ZHENG YONGNIAN & TOK SOW KEAT THE CCP HAS INTRODUCED
ORGANISATIONAL AND IDEOLOGICAL REFORMS, ALLOWED LIMITED ELECTIONS AT
GRASS-ROOTS LEVELS AND MORE SPACE FOR SELECTED SOCIAL GROUPS TO MAINTAIN
ITS DOMINANT HOLD ON POLITICS. ( VI I INTERPRETING C H I N A S

FOOK THE DEPARTMENT OF PROPAGANDA OF THE PARTY HAS TO BALANCE CONTROL
WITH THE CHANGING DEMANDS OF SOCIETY. IT IS UNDER INCREASING PRESSURE TO
ADJUST THE OLD WAY OF MANAGING AND CONTROLLING INFORMATION BASED ON FIAT
AND FEAR. POLITICAL REFORMS FIRST, DEMOCRACY LATER? 30 WANG ZHENGXU
POLITICAL DEMOCRATISATION IN CHINA IS DRIVEN BY THE PEOPLE S HIGHER
EXPECTATIONS AND GREATER AWARENESS OF THEIR RIGHTS AND THE PARTY S
DESIRE TO DELIVER GOOD GOVERNANCE. AS OPPOSED TO A BIG-BANG APPROACH,
CHINA S DEMOCRATISATION IS LIKELY TO BE A GRADUAL AND FITFUL PROCESS.
THE STRUGGLE AGAINST CORRUPTION 38 YANG DALI TO CONTAIN CORRUPTION,
CHINA HAS INTRODUCED INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS, INCLUDING COMPLETING MARKET
TRANSITIONS, PUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENT REFORMS, GREATER POLITICAL
ACCOUNTABILITY AND STRICTER INSTITUTIONAL RESTRAINTS. THE REFORMS HAVE
LED TO A MODEST REDUCTION IN CORRUPTION CASES. MANAGING CHINA S CIVIL
SERVANTS 44 KJELD ERIK BR0DSGAARD CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, THE NUMBER
OF CIVIL SERVANTS IN CHINA IS ACTUALLY QUITE SMALL. IMPROVING THE
QUALITY OF PERSONNEL AND GOVERNING CAPACITY ARE IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE
ONE-PARTY RULE. CAN BEIJING STILL DICTATE LOCAL POLITICS? 48 TAN
QINGSHAN BEIJING IS FACING A BIG CHALLENGE IN REINING IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WITHOUT JEOPARDISING ECONOMIC GROWTH. TTHE KEY ISSUE IS
WHETHER THEY CAN DELIVER THE OUTCOME THAT BEIJING WANTS. TOWARDS THE
RULE OF LAW 53 ZOU KEYUAN THE PARTY APPEARS DETERMINED TO PROMOTE RULE
OF LAW TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF A MARKET- ORIENTED ECONOMY, IHE
OBLIGATIONS OF BEING A WTO MEMBER AND THE NEED TO IMPROVE THE
ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF A MORE COMPLEX CHINESE SOCIETY. THE
PARTY AND THE GUN: CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS 57 LI NAN THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE CIVILIAN LEADERSHIP AND PEOPLE S LIBERATION ARMY (PLA) HAS
UNDERGONE A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE OVER THE YEARS. THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP
HASFOCUSSED MORE ON GOVERNANCE ISSUES WHILE THE PLA HAS CONCENTRATED ON
MILITARY-TECHNICAL TASKS. CONTENTS VII THE PLA IN TRANSFORMATION 62
YOUJI CHINA S NATIONAL DEFENCE STRATEGY SEEKS A TRANSFORMATION OF THE
PEOPLE S LIBERATION ARMY (PLA) THROUGH MECHANISATION AND
INFORMATISATION. THE REAL ISSUE IS WHETHER THE PLA CAN ACHIEVE A
BALANCED TRANSFORMATION BETWEEN THESE TWO OBJECTIVES. HONG KONG AND
MACAU UNDER ONE COUNTRY, TWO SYSTEMS 67 CHOU KWOK PING A DECADE OF ONE
COUNTRY TWO SYSTEMS HAS PRODUCED DIFFERENT OUTCOMES IN TERMS OF HONG
KONG S AND MACAU S RESPECTIVE POLITICAL RELATIONS WITH BEIJING. THESE
CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DIFFERENT LEGACIES OF COLONIAL RULE AND
INFLUENCES OF DEMOCRATIC FORCES IN THESE TWO LOCALITIES. CHEN SHUI-BIAN:
TAIWAN S LAME DUCK PRESIDENT 72 JOHN F. COPPER THE CORRUPTION AND
EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGES INVOLVING CHEN SHUI-BIAN S CLOSE AIDES, SON-IN-LAW
AND WIFE HAVE DENTED HIS IMAGE AND CREDIBILITY. HOWEVER, CHEN HAS
CLEVERLY EXPLOITED THE LOCAL IDENTITY MOVEMENT TO BOLSTER PUBLIC SUPPORT
FOR HIS PARTY. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE 17TH PARTY CONGRESS 77 WANG
ZHENGXU THE 17TH PARTY CONGRESS WILL MOST LIKELY WITNESS ADJUSTMENTS TO
THE CENTRAL LEADERSHIP AND COMPREHENSIVE ENDORSEMENT OF THE SCIENTIFIC
DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND CREATION OF A HARMONIOUS SOCIETY . WHILE
REFERENCES MAY ALSO BE MADE TO THE NEED FOR POLITICAL REFORMS, THEY ARE
LIKELY TO STOP SHORT OF CONCRETE PLANS. PART II. GROWTH AND STRUCTURAL
CHANGES SURVEY CHAPTER CHINA S MAJOR ECONOMIC CHALLENGE: SUSTAINING HIGH
GROWTH WHILST FIXING ITS GROWTH PROBLEMS 83 JOHN WONG * THE CHINESE
ECONOMY HAS BECOME A SIGNIFICANT FORCE IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY. IT HAS
BEEN ARGUED THAT THE CURRENT GLOBAL ECONOMIC BOOM IS BASICALLY THE
COMBINED EFFECTS OF US CONSUMPTION AND CHINESE PRODUCTION. TOPICAL
CHAPTERS CHINA S TWIN SURPLUSES 97 YU YONGDING CHINA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY
IN HISTORY WHICH HAS RUN THE TWIN SURPLUSES FOR 15 YEARS SINCE 1990. THE
UNDERDEVELOPMENT OF CHINA S FINANCIAL MARKET IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO CHINA S PERSISTENT TWIN SURPLUSES.
IYIIIF INTERPRETING CHINA S DEVELOPMENT EXPLAINING HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
GROWTH 103 WU YANRUI WHETHER PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH HAS PLAYED A ROLE IN
CHINA S RECENT GROWTH CAN BE INVESTIGATED BY EXAMINING THE SOURCE OF
GROWTH. ECONOMISTS CONVENTIONALLY ATTRIBUTE THE RATE OF GDP GROWTH TO
THE COMBINED GROWTH IN LABOUR AND CAPITAL INPUTS. THE 11TH FIVE-YEAR
PROGRAMME 108 SARAH Y. TONG THE 11TH FIVE-YEAR PROGRAMME OUTLINES HU AND
WEN S VISION FOR THE COUNTRY S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TACKLES GROWING
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS FOLLOWING CHINA S RECENT RAPID ECONOMIC
EXPANSION. CHINA S DRIVE TO BECOME A TECHNOLOGICAL POWER 113 QUAN
XIAOHONG WHEN CHINA EMBARKED ON MARKET-ORIENTED ECONOMIC REFORMS, ITS
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM WAS SUBJECTED TO FAR-REACHING CHALLENGES
FOR ITS LACK OF EFFICIENCY, R&D WEAKNESSES, POOR TECHNICAL SKILLS AND
OUTDATED FOCUS ON DEFENCE AND OTHER HEAVY TECHNOLOGIES. BANKING REFORMS
TO MEET WTO OBLIGATIONS 118 SARAH Y. TONG & ZHENG YI CHINA S BANKING
REFORM HAS LESSENED THE VULNERABILITY OF CHINA S BANKS TO EXTERNAL
SHOCKS. HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT MOST OF CHINA S BANKS ARE NOW
SUFFICIENTLY ROBUST TO STAND UP TO MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGES.
REFORMING STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES 123 SARAH Y. TONG CHINA S REFORM OF
STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES (SOES) HAS BEEN QUITE SUCCESSFUL IN REORIENTING
FIRMS TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO MARKET COMPETITION. RISE OF CHINA S AUTO
INDUSTRY 128 YANG MU & TENG SIOW SONG MANY NEW AUTO PLAYERS, INCLUDING
FOREIGN COMPANIES HAVE ENTERED THE CHINESE MARKET AFTER CHINA S WTO
ACCESSION. BY 2005, CHINA WAS THE WORLD S SECOND LARGEST AUTO MARKET
(EQUALLING JAPAN), WITH AUTO SALES OF OVER FIVE MILLION UNITS. THE
POLITICAL ECONOMY OF URBAN AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT 134 CHIEN SHIUH-SHEN
CHINA S ECONOMIC TRANSITION OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES WAS
CHARACTERISED BY DRAMATIC BUT UNBALANCED URBANISATION, SERIOUS
TERRITORIAL COMPETITION AND UNEVEN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT. CONTENTS LIX?
SHANGHAI S MEGA PORT IN YANGSHAN 139 YANG MU & LIONEL HO SHANGHAI, THE
CENTRE OF THE YANGTZE RIVER DELTA MANUFACTURING HUB, HAS BEEN EARMARKED
BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT TO REGAIN ITS PREVIOUS GLOBAL SHIPPING HUB
STATUS. CHINA S ENERGY OUTLOOK 145 ELSPETH THOMSON OVER THE NEXT TEN
YEARS, RAPID URBANISATION AND INDUSTRIALISATION AND THE DOMINANCE OF THE
MANUFACTURING SECTOR IN CHINA TOGETHER CLEARLY PRESAGE CHINA S CONTINUAL
REQUIREMENT FOR LARGE QUANTITIES OF ENERGY. PART III. COPING WITH RISING
SOCIAL PROBLEMS SURVEY CHAPTERS SOCIAL DILEMMAS OF HIGH ECONOMIC GROWTH
153 ZHAO LITAO THREE DECADES OF SUSTAINED ECONOMIC GROWTH HAVE NOT ONLY
FAILED TO BOOST SOCIAL CONFIDENCE, BUT ALSO GIVEN RISE TO PERSISTENT
SOCIAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS SOCIAL INJUSTICE, CORRUPTION, INCOME INEQUALITY
AND ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION. WHAT IS CHINA S SAN-NONG (RURAL) PROBLEM?
160 JOHN WONG THE RURAL PROBLEM, OFTEN DUBBED SAN-NONG WENTI , IS ONE
OF THE BURNING ISSUES THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT MUST COME TO GRIP WITH. THE
RURAL PROBLEM, IF REMAIN UNRESOLVED, COULD BECOME A POTENTIAL TIME-BOMB
FOR THE CHINESE LEADERSHIP. TOPICAL CHAPTERS GROWTH AND WIDENING
INEQUALITIES 168 LAI HONGYI & TENG SIOW SONG AS CHINA S ECONOMY
CONTINUES TO GROW, INCOME INEQUALITIES HAVE ALSO INCREASED, GENERATING
SOCIAL DISCONTENT. THE HU-WEN LEADERSHIP HAS ACTED TO ADDRESS
RURAL-URBAN AND INTERREGIONAL DIVIDES. THEIR EFFORTS, HOWEVER, HAVE ONLY
MODERATED BUT NOT REVERSED THE GROWING TREND OF INEQUALITIES. REFORMING
HUKOU TO PROTECT MIGRANT LABOUR 174 ZHAO LITAO THE INTRODUCTION OF THE
TEMPORARY HUKOU AND RESIDENT PERMIT, AND THE RELAXATION OF THE QUOTA
SYSTEM GOVERNING CONVERSION OF AGRICULTURAL HUKOU HOLDERS TO
NONAGRICULTURAL HUKOU STATUS HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN MANAGING
MIGRANT LABOUR, BUT PROBLEMS OF THE NEW POOR STILL NEED TO BE
ADDRESSED. IXL INTERPRETING C H I N A S D E V E L O P M E N T BUILDING
A NEW SOCIAL SAFETY NET 179 GUXIN CHINA HAS ESTABLISHED SOCIAL INSURANCE
AND PUBLIC ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS TO REPLACE THE WORKPLACE-BASED SOCIAL
SECURITY SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE VULNERABILITIES OF THE NEW POOR .
HOWEVER, COMPLIANCE STILL REMAINS A PROBLEM AND CURRENT SYSTEMS PROVIDE
MERELY A LOW LEVEL OF SOCIAL PROTECTION. CHINA FACING AN ENVIRONMENTAL
CRISIS 184 CHIEN SHIUH-SHEN & YANG MU CHINA S RAPID ECONOMIC GROWTH HAS
LEFT A TRAIL OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN ITS WAKE. IT HAS TO ACT FAST
TO REVERSE THE SITUATION BEFORE SOME OF ITS WONDERFUL NATURAL RESOURCES
ARE PERMANENTLY LOST. CHINA S CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT 189 ZHAO LITAO & TAN
SOON HENG AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF A NATIONAL PROGRAMME ON CULTURAL
DEVELOPMENT IN THE 11TH FIVE-YEAR PERIOD (2006-2010), THE PERCEPTION OF
CULTURE - PREVIOUSLY SUBVERTED AS A CONVENIENT TOOL UNDER COMMUNIST
PROPAGANDA - HAS BEEN DRAMATICALLY CHANGED. CHINA S BOOMING HIGHER
EDUCATION 194 QUAN XIAOHONG & ZHAO LITAO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT S
DECISION TO ACHIEVE MASS HIGHER EDUCATION SAW A SUBSTANTIAL BOOM IN
THE HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR. HOWEVER, UNEMPLOYMENT QUICKLY BECOMES
PREVALENT WHEN THE JOB MARKET FAILS TO EXPAND AS QUICKLY. CHINA S
EMERGING MIDDLE-CLASS 198 YAN HAO THOUGH CHINA S MIDDLE CLASS IS
UNLIKELY TO CHALLENGE THE AUTOCRATIC POWER OF THE PARTY AND THE
GOVERNMENT, ITS RISE WILL CERTAINLY BRING ABOUT PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS
FOR CHINA S FUTURE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. HAIGUI IN CHINA S
MODERNISATION 202 YANG MU & TAN SOON HENG OVERSEAS RETURNEES OR HAIGUI
HAVE ALREADY BECOME CHINA S MOVERS AND SHAKERS IN THE POLITICAL,
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DOMAINS. ESPECIALLY PROMINENT IS THE HAIGUI-PAI S
LEADING ROLE IN A NEW TECHNOPRENEURSHIP WAVE THAT IS RAPIDLY CHANGING
CHINA S MODERN ECONOMIC SECTORS. CONTENTS F XI ; ; PART IV. CHINA S
RELATIONS WITH MAJOR POWERS AND ITS NEIGHBOURS SURVEY CHAPTER FEATURING
HARMONIOUS WORLD FOR PEACEFUL RISE 209 LAI HONGYI & LYE LIANG FOOK
TO SECURE A PEACEFUL EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT FOR ITS DOMESTIC DEVELOPMENT,
CHINA HAS PLEDGED TO BE A RESPONSIBLE POWER AND FOLLOW A COURSE OF
PEACEFUL RISE. IT ALSO ADVOCATES A HARMONIOUS WORLD OF DIVERSITY. SO
FAR CHINA S ACTIONS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN IN LINE WITH ITS WORDS. TOPICAL
CHAPTERS CHINA AND US: A PIVOTAL BUT UNCERTAIN RELATIONSHIP 218 WANG
FEI-LING DESPITE SHARING MANY ECONOMIC INTERESTS, CHINA AND THE UNITED
STATES ARE OFTEN AT ODDS ON NUMEROUS ISSUES RANGING FROM IDEOLOGY
DIFFERENCES TO THE TAIWAN PROBLEM. HOWEVER, BOTH SIDES ARE DETERMINED TO
ACCOMMODATE TO EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND FOR AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE. MANAGING DIFFICULT RELATIONS WITH JAPAN 223 ZHENG YONGNIAN &
TOK SOW KEAT MANAGING CHINA-JAPAN RELATIONS IS A CHALLENGING TASK
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES NUMEROUS ISSUES RANGING FROM GEO-STRATEGIC
TO HISTORICAL FACTORS. AS THE RECONCILIATION PROCESS BETWEEN CHINA AND
]APAN REMAINS SLOW, THEIR RELATIONS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY
COMPLICATED. FACING A MORE ASSERTIVE AND NATIONALISTIC JAPAN 227 LAM
PENG ER SHINZO ABE S ASPIRATION FOR JAPAN IS THAT OF A BEAUTIFUL
COUNTRY IN WHICH THE JAPANESE PEOPLE CAN RIGHTLY TAKE PRIDE IN ITS
TRADITION, ACHIEVEMENTS AND AUTONOMY. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM
FOR JAPAN S DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE REGION. CHINA AND SOUTH KOREA
IN THEIR DEALINGS WITH NORTH KOREA 233 CHOO JAEWOO CHINA S BALANCING ACT
IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA IS A DELICATE TASK. UNDER THE NOTION OF A
GOOD-NEIGHBOUR POLICY , BEIJING IS INVOLVED IN ACHIEVING A BALANCE
BETWEEN AN UNPREDICTABLE PYONGYANG AND A DEMOCRATIC SEOUL. IFXIIIF
INTERPRETING C H I N A S DEVELOPMENT SEEKING CLOSER COOPERATION WITH
POST-SUHARTO INDONESIA 237 LIM TIN SENG CHINA S RELATIONS WITH
POST-SUHARTO INDONESIA IS IMPROVING RAPIDLY. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE STILL
MANY CHALLENGES, COOPERATION BETWEEN BEIJING AND JAKARTA WILL BECOME
EVEN CLOSER AND DEEPER IN THE FUTURE ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS RENEWED
RELATION IS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL. MALAYSIA S RELATIONS WITH CHINA: FROM
MAHATHIR TO BADAWI 241 LAM PENG ER & LIM TIN SENG MALAYSIA HAS
RECALIBRATED ITS FOREIGN POLICY ORIENTATION FROM JAPAN TO CHINA
FOLLOWING CHINA S PHENOMENAL ECONOMIC RISE AND THE BURSTING OF JAPAN S
BUBBLE ECONOMY. HOWEVER, KUALA LUMPUR IS CAREFUL NOT TO PLAY A ZERO-SUM
GAME BUT TO PURSUE A WIN-WIN STRATEGY TO MAINTAIN CLOSE COOPERATION
AND EXCHANGES WITH THE REGION. CHINA S SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
SINGAPORE 245 JOHN WONG & TENG SIOW SONG OVER THE YEARS, RELATIONS
BETWEEN SINGAPORE AND CHINA HAVE DEEPENED AND MATURED INTO A
MULTI-FACETED ONE WITH EXTENSIVE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE TWO
GOVERNMENTS, BUSINESS COMMUNITIES AND PEOPLES. EU AND CHINA: HEADING
TOWARDS BUMPY RELATIONS 251 JEAN-PIERRE CABESTAN BURGEONING RELATIONS
BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) AND CHINA HAVE OFTEN BEEN PERCEIVED AS A
NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP . HOWEVER, MAINTAINING THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL
NOT BE A SMOOTH AND EASY ONE AS THE EU AND CHINA HAVE CONSIDERABLE
DIFFERENCES OVER ARMS EMBARGO, TAIWAN, HUMAN RIGHTS AND TRADE ISSUES.
CHINA S GROWING INFLUENCE IN AFRICA 256 WANG ZHENGXU & LIM TIN SENG
CHINA S INFLUENCE IN AFRICA IS GROWING RAPIDLY BUT IT HAS ALSO INVITED
SEVERE CRITICISM FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER, BEIJING IS UNLIKELY TO REVERSE
ITS AFRICAN POLICY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMPLEMENTS ITS ECONOMIC INTERESTS
IN THE CONTINENT AND HAS WON STRONG APPROVAL FROM AFRICAN LEADERS. INDEX

HUKOU TO PROTECT MIGRANT LABOUR 174 ZHAO LITAO THE INTRODUCTION OF THE
TEMPORARY HUKOU AND RESIDENT PERMIT, AND THE RELAXATION OF THE QUOTA
SYSTEM GOVERNING CONVERSION OF AGRICULTURAL HUKOU HOLDERS TO
NONAGRICULTURAL HUKOU STATUS HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN MANAGING
MIGRANT LABOUR, BUT PROBLEMS OF THE "NEW POOR" STILL NEED TO BE
ADDRESSED. IXL INTERPRETING C H I N A ' S D E V E L O P M E N T BUILDING
A NEW SOCIAL SAFETY NET 179 GUXIN CHINA HAS ESTABLISHED SOCIAL INSURANCE
AND PUBLIC ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS TO REPLACE THE WORKPLACE-BASED SOCIAL
SECURITY SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE VULNERABILITIES OF THE "NEW POOR".
HOWEVER, COMPLIANCE STILL REMAINS A PROBLEM AND CURRENT SYSTEMS PROVIDE
MERELY A LOW LEVEL OF SOCIAL PROTECTION. CHINA FACING AN ENVIRONMENTAL
CRISIS 184 CHIEN SHIUH-SHEN & YANG MU CHINA'S RAPID ECONOMIC GROWTH HAS
LEFT A TRAIL OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN ITS WAKE. IT HAS TO ACT FAST
TO REVERSE THE SITUATION BEFORE SOME OF ITS WONDERFUL NATURAL RESOURCES
ARE PERMANENTLY LOST. CHINA'S CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT 189 ZHAO LITAO & TAN
SOON HENG AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF A NATIONAL PROGRAMME ON CULTURAL
DEVELOPMENT IN THE 11TH FIVE-YEAR PERIOD (2006-2010), THE PERCEPTION OF
CULTURE - PREVIOUSLY SUBVERTED AS A CONVENIENT TOOL UNDER COMMUNIST
PROPAGANDA - HAS BEEN DRAMATICALLY CHANGED. CHINA'S BOOMING HIGHER
EDUCATION 194 QUAN XIAOHONG & ZHAO LITAO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT'S
DECISION TO ACHIEVE "MASS HIGHER EDUCATION" SAW A SUBSTANTIAL BOOM IN
THE HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR. HOWEVER, UNEMPLOYMENT QUICKLY BECOMES
PREVALENT WHEN THE JOB MARKET FAILS TO EXPAND AS QUICKLY. CHINA'S
EMERGING MIDDLE-CLASS 198 YAN HAO THOUGH CHINA'S MIDDLE CLASS IS
UNLIKELY TO CHALLENGE THE AUTOCRATIC POWER OF THE PARTY AND THE
GOVERNMENT, ITS RISE WILL CERTAINLY BRING ABOUT PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS
FOR CHINA'S FUTURE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. HAIGUI IN CHINA'S
MODERNISATION 202 YANG MU & TAN SOON HENG OVERSEAS RETURNEES OR HAIGUI
HAVE ALREADY BECOME CHINA'S "MOVERS AND SHAKERS" IN THE POLITICAL,
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DOMAINS. ESPECIALLY PROMINENT IS THE HAIGUI-PAI'S
LEADING ROLE IN A NEW " TECHNOPRENEURSHIP WAVE" THAT IS RAPIDLY CHANGING
CHINA'S MODERN ECONOMIC SECTORS. CONTENTS F'XI'; ; PART IV. CHINA'S
RELATIONS WITH MAJOR POWERS AND ITS NEIGHBOURS SURVEY CHAPTER FEATURING
"HARMONIOUS WORLD" FOR "PEACEFUL RISE" 209 LAI HONGYI & LYE LIANG FOOK
TO SECURE A PEACEFUL EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT FOR ITS DOMESTIC DEVELOPMENT,
CHINA HAS PLEDGED TO BE A RESPONSIBLE POWER AND FOLLOW A COURSE OF
PEACEFUL RISE. IT ALSO ADVOCATES A "HARMONIOUS WORLD" OF DIVERSITY. SO
FAR CHINA'S ACTIONS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN IN LINE WITH ITS WORDS. TOPICAL
CHAPTERS CHINA AND US: A PIVOTAL BUT UNCERTAIN RELATIONSHIP 218 WANG
FEI-LING DESPITE SHARING MANY ECONOMIC INTERESTS, CHINA AND THE UNITED
STATES ARE OFTEN AT ODDS ON NUMEROUS ISSUES RANGING FROM IDEOLOGY
DIFFERENCES TO THE TAIWAN PROBLEM. HOWEVER, BOTH SIDES ARE DETERMINED TO
ACCOMMODATE TO EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND FOR AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE. MANAGING DIFFICULT RELATIONS WITH JAPAN 223 ZHENG YONGNIAN &
TOK SOW KEAT MANAGING CHINA-JAPAN RELATIONS IS A CHALLENGING TASK
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES NUMEROUS ISSUES RANGING FROM GEO-STRATEGIC
TO HISTORICAL FACTORS. AS THE RECONCILIATION PROCESS BETWEEN CHINA AND
]APAN REMAINS SLOW, THEIR RELATIONS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY
COMPLICATED. FACING A MORE ASSERTIVE AND NATIONALISTIC JAPAN 227 LAM
PENG ER SHINZO ABE'S ASPIRATION FOR JAPAN IS THAT OF A "BEAUTIFUL
COUNTRY" IN WHICH THE JAPANESE PEOPLE CAN RIGHTLY TAKE PRIDE IN ITS
TRADITION, ACHIEVEMENTS AND AUTONOMY. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM
FOR JAPAN'S DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE REGION. CHINA AND SOUTH KOREA
IN THEIR DEALINGS WITH NORTH KOREA 233 CHOO JAEWOO CHINA'S BALANCING ACT
IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA IS A DELICATE TASK. UNDER THE NOTION OF A
"GOOD-NEIGHBOUR POLICY", BEIJING IS INVOLVED IN ACHIEVING A BALANCE
BETWEEN AN UNPREDICTABLE PYONGYANG AND A DEMOCRATIC SEOUL. IFXIIIF
INTERPRETING C H I N A ' S DEVELOPMENT SEEKING CLOSER COOPERATION WITH
POST-SUHARTO INDONESIA 237 LIM TIN SENG CHINA'S RELATIONS WITH
POST-SUHARTO INDONESIA IS IMPROVING RAPIDLY. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE STILL
MANY CHALLENGES, COOPERATION BETWEEN BEIJING AND JAKARTA WILL BECOME
EVEN CLOSER AND DEEPER IN THE FUTURE ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS RENEWED
RELATION IS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL. MALAYSIA'S RELATIONS WITH CHINA: FROM
MAHATHIR TO BADAWI 241 LAM PENG ER & LIM TIN SENG MALAYSIA HAS
RECALIBRATED ITS FOREIGN POLICY ORIENTATION FROM JAPAN TO CHINA
FOLLOWING CHINA'S PHENOMENAL ECONOMIC RISE AND THE BURSTING OF JAPAN'S
BUBBLE ECONOMY. HOWEVER, KUALA LUMPUR IS CAREFUL NOT TO PLAY A ZERO-SUM
GAME BUT TO PURSUE A "WIN-WIN" STRATEGY TO MAINTAIN CLOSE COOPERATION
AND EXCHANGES WITH THE REGION. CHINA'S SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
SINGAPORE 245 JOHN WONG & TENG SIOW SONG OVER THE YEARS, RELATIONS
BETWEEN SINGAPORE AND CHINA HAVE DEEPENED AND MATURED INTO A
MULTI-FACETED ONE WITH EXTENSIVE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE TWO
GOVERNMENTS, BUSINESS COMMUNITIES AND PEOPLES. EU AND CHINA: HEADING
TOWARDS BUMPY RELATIONS 251 JEAN-PIERRE CABESTAN BURGEONING RELATIONS
BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) AND CHINA HAVE OFTEN BEEN PERCEIVED AS A
NEW "STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP". HOWEVER, MAINTAINING THIS PARTNERSHIP WILL
NOT BE A SMOOTH AND EASY ONE AS THE EU AND CHINA HAVE CONSIDERABLE
DIFFERENCES OVER ARMS EMBARGO, TAIWAN, HUMAN RIGHTS AND TRADE ISSUES.
CHINA'S GROWING INFLUENCE IN AFRICA 256 WANG ZHENGXU & LIM TIN SENG
CHINA'S INFLUENCE IN AFRICA IS GROWING RAPIDLY BUT IT HAS ALSO INVITED
SEVERE CRITICISM FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER, BEIJING IS UNLIKELY TO REVERSE
ITS AFRICAN POLICY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMPLEMENTS ITS ECONOMIC INTERESTS
IN THE CONTINENT AND HAS WON STRONG APPROVAL FROM AFRICAN LEADERS. INDEX
