China Politics

Based on a review of research literature from sociology, organizational psychology, and behavioral economics, this audiobook develops a theory of consent generation and distinguishes three groups of consent-producing mechanisms: socialization, incentive mechanisms, and participation and interest representation.

The People’s Republic of China and the United States are today at war. It is being fought with the use of information, politics, and finance. The Chinese believe that, as in all war, it would be better to win without engaging the enemy on the battlefield or having to resort to the likes of nuclear weapons if it can be avoided. To achieve this, China has engaged in a decades-long campaign to manipulate and corrupt America’s ruling elite.

In the classic tradition of Sun Tzu's The Art of War, here for the first time in English is the timeless wisdom of China's greatest emperor, Tang Taizong (AD 598-649), which will show anyone who leads or manages how to achieve unparalleled results and an enduring legacy.

La milenaria, compleja y convulsa historia de China, acaso uno de los procesos históricos más llamativos de todo el planeta, estudiada con precisión y detalle en un período que comprende desde las Guerras del Opio, a la lucha entre Mao Zedong y Chang Kai-Shek y la posterior proclamación del comunismo y el nacimiento de la nueva República Popular China.

Why did Justin Trudeau wait so long to restrict flights from China? Why did his top health bureaucrat tell us not to wear face masks? Why is there a loophole in Canada's quarantine laws for illegal border-crossers at Roxham Road? Why did the Liberals gather up Canada’s medical equipment and ship it to China as a gift? And why on Earth did Trudeau give $838,000 to the Wuhan Virology Institute?

Taiwan is invaded by Red China in the latest technothriller by T.J. McFadden. In a story that could be torn from tomorrow's headlines, Xiao Ying Tien, "The Smiling Man" hopes to use the might of modern China to crush the last remnant of the Republic of China and solidify his grip on power. Against him stand two leaders on Taiwan: President Ch'iu Wang Chen, a cynic who rediscovers his lost idealism in Taiwan's darkest hour, and General Sung Chung Tam, "The Chessmaster", a pure soldier dedicated to winning at any cost, against any odds. They lead the free people of Taiwan in a desperate fight...

China ist keine ferne Bedrohung mehr, China ist da! Politisch und wirtschaftlich. Das Reich der Mitte ist ehrgeizig, schnell und gut organisiert, es ist innovativ wie das Silicon Valley und bestimmt zunehmend die internationalen Spielregeln. China setzt auf Wachstum und digitale Technologien und hält sich nicht mit dem westlichen Demokratiemodell auf. Auf allen Kontinenten investiert es in Bodenschätze, Schlüsselindustrien und Infrastruktur - auch bei uns.

The PRC is engaged in political warfare against most countries of the world. This is an aggressive brand of total war that integrates all aspects of PRC national power into its political warfare campaigns. Open societies normally lack government understanding and response to the political warfare threat, therefore typically establishing weak applicable laws and policies to combat it.

One by one, Tahir Hamut Izgil's friends disappeared. The Chinese government's brutal persecution of the Uyghur people had continued for years, but in 2017 it assumed a terrifying new scale. The Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim minority group in western China, were experiencing an echo of the worst horrors of the twentieth century. Over a million people have vanished into China's internment camps for Muslim minorities. Waiting to Be Arrested at Night is the story of the political, social, and cultural destruction of Tahir Hamut Izgil's homeland.

Wie die Allianz der Diktatoren Putin und Xi Jinping die Freiheit bedroht. Die sicherheitspolitische Weltlage gleicht einem Pulverfass – während Russland seit 2014 in der Ukraine einen Krieg führt, rasselt China im Südpazifik mit den Säbeln. Gleichzeitig droht im Nahen Osten auch der Konflikt zwischen Iran und Israel vollends zu eskalieren. Der renommierte Experte für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik Ulrich Speck zeigt in seinem politischen Sachbuch, dass die Eskalation der Weltlage kein Zufall ist, sondern gezielt von zwei revisionistischen Weltmächten vorangetrieben wurde.

As any traveller knows, the best and most honest conversations take place during car rides. So when journalist Frank Langfitt wanted to learn more about the real China, he started driving a cab - and discovered a country amid seismic political and economic change. The Chinese economic boom, with its impact on the environment, global trade and the tech industry, has been one of the most important stories of the 21st century.

Schopenhauer: here's when great philosophy can be somber, pessimistic, even brutal, and still resonate with a sarcastic laugh. He was among the first to contend that the universe is essentially not a rational place; in his most famous work, "The World as Will and Representation", he argues that the individuals of a species do not have as much free will as is ordinarily thought, as the only will that matters is that of the species, which is to reproduce and carry on. Schopenhauer is very well-known for his radical stance on women, aesthetics, and rhetoric.

For decades, a few numbers came to define Chinese politics—until those numbers did not count what mattered and what they counted did not measure up. Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts argues that the Chinese government adopted a system of limited, quantified vision in order to survive the disasters unleashed by Mao Zedong's ideological leadership. Jeremy Wallace explains how that system worked and analyzes how the problems that accumulated in its blind spots led Xi Jinping to take drastic action.

2020 has been a horrible year. We have had a bioterrorist attack by China; our governments have been lying to us. Millions have died; billions have suffered. Central banks have gone on a money printing spree that is bound to enslave us to the same people that committed the bioterrorist attack against us, the Chinese. At the national level, we are engaging in more infighting and increased bureaucracy, and we are moving away from a capitalistic model that permits democracy and freedom in the world. Socialism is great, but no one shares sandwiches n the top of Mount Everest. The world needs to...

La Cina è davvero "vicina" come recitava il titolo di un vecchio film d'autore? No, sostiene Giada Messetti nel suo "Nella testa del Dragone". È, anzi, molto lontana. Soprattutto, è diversa. Perché ― continua l'autrice, sinologa, che in Cina ha vissuto sei anni ― esistono dieci, cento, mille Cine. Esplorarle è come fare un viaggio su una macchina del tempo, passando da villaggi remoti rimasti all'epoca preindustriale a smart city avveniristiche dove, fermo al semaforo in motorino, può capitare che un drone ti intimi di indossare il casco se vuoi evitare una multa salata.

Kampfjets über Taiwan, Kriegsschiffe in japanischen Gewässern, Militärbasen auf den Spratly-Inseln. China will sein Territorium im Ost- und Südchinesischen Meer ausweiten. Dabei ist besonders der Anspruch auf Taiwan explosiv, das China nicht als souveränen Staat anerkennt. Doch hinter Taiwan stehen die USA. Der aktuelle Konflikt um Inseln und Riffe vor Chinas Küste wird im Westen oft vernachlässigt. Doch dahinter stehen handfeste Territorialkonflikte mit einer Reihe von Staaten wie Japan, Südkorea oder Vietnam.

China is the economic story of our time, but upon deeper investigation, it's easy to see that throughout its history for the past two millennia, it has backstopped all economic expansion globally to date. It's not a secret that the Chinese are a high-context, ethnocentric culture that is comprised of the largest ethnic population in the world, the Han, who make up 90% of its 1.5 billion citizens. The Belt and Road Initiative and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership have made headlines over the past decade as China seeks to expand its trade influence into traditionally hostile and...

Joe Biden richtet die USA auf einen großen Konflikt mit China aus, es geht um nicht weniger als um die Vorherrschaft in der Welt. Das Hörbuch analysiert den Wettlauf der Weltmächte, der sich durch die Ukraine-Krise dramatisch verschärft hat und in einen viel schlimmeren Krieg ausarten kann. Die alte politische und wirtschaftliche Ordnung der Welt wird vom autoritären Regime in Peking angegriffen und droht zu zerbrechen.

There are many people around the world angered by the Chinese Communist Party and the release of COVID19 in November of 2019, but we have no one to blame but ourselves. History has shown that ethnocentrism and xenophobia in East Asia are widespread, and it has led to millions of deaths around the globe historically. Presently, it has killed millions around the globe as we have seen over the last two years with the ongoing pandemic. Support by Western governments fast-tracked China into the WHO and the WTO, and they have completely ruined and compromised the peace and cooperation these ...

Why did India and China go to war in 1962? What propelled Jawaharlal Nehru's "vision" of China? Why is it necessary to understand the trans-Himalayan power play of India and China in the formative period of their nationhoods? The past shadows the present in this relationship and shapes current policy options, strongly influencing public debate in India to this day. Nirupama Rao, a former Foreign Secretary of India, unknots this intensely complex saga of the early years of the India-China relationship.
