This open access book offers a groundbreaking examination of the profound and lasting impacts of COVID-19 on U.S.-China relations. It covers areas such as public health, trade and supply chain challenges, people-to-people connections, shifts in public opinion, rising nationalism, anti-Asian sentiments, and strategic assessments. Since the pandemic's outbreak in late 2019, China and the United States have both suffered catastrophically. So too has the U.S.-China relationship, which was already at a historic low point before COVID-19 accelerated its deterioration. With contributions by leading and emerging scholars from both nations, the volume reflects a collaborative effort, emphasizing the importance of bilateral dialogue. As the world steps into the post-COVID era, this work offers timely insights into the potential pathways for rebuilding and redefining U.S.-China relations.
This book focuses on the methodology of research on historical memory and contributes to theoretical discussions concerning the use of historical memory as a variable to explain political action and social movement. The chapters of the book conceptualize the relationship between historical memory and national identity formation, perceptions, and policy-making. The author particularly analyses how contested memory and the related social discourse can lead to nationalism and international conflict. Based on theories and research from multiple fields of studies, this book proposes a series of analytic frameworks for the purpose of conceptualizing the functions of historical memory. These analytic frameworks can help categorize, measure, and subsequently demonstrate the effects of historical memory. This book also discusses how to use public opinion polls, textbooks, important texts and documents, monuments and memory sites for conducting research to examine the functions of historical memory. Zheng Wang is the Director of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies and Professor in the School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University, USA. He is also a Carnegie Fellow at New America and a Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Wang is the author of Never Forget National Humiliation: Historic Memory in Chinese Politics and Foreign Relations, which received the International Studies Association's Yale H. Ferguson Award

"Finding Women in the State is a provocative hidden history of socialist state feminists maneuvering behind the scenes at the core of the Chinese Communist Party. These women worked to advance gender and class equality in the early People's Republic and fought to transform sexist norms and practices, all while facing fierce opposition from a male-dominated CCP leadership from the Party Central to the local government. Wang Zheng extends this investigation to the cultural realm, showing how feminists within China's film industry were working to actively create new cinematic heroines, and how they continued a New Culture anti-patriarchy heritage in socialist film production. This book illuminates not only the different visions of revolutionary transformation but also the dense entanglements among those in the top echelon of the party. Wang discusses the causes for failure of China's socialist revolution and raises fundamental questions about male dominance in social movements that aim to pursue social justice and equality. This is the first book engendering the PRC high politics and has important theoretical and methodological implications for scholars and students working in gender studies as well China studies"--Provided by publisher

"This book summarizes the research findings in regarding a region as a rational and abstract concept and explores the principles of regional science. Focusing on location theory, spatial dynamics and regional evolution theory, it stresses that the region as a scientific concept is an essential abstract of an economic entity of a place. While it introduces a number of case studies, the content is general and universal rather than specific. Beginning with location theory - the basis of regional science - it explains how regions breed their own characteristics as economic entities against a background of place. For example, it discusses the location theory of the tourism industry and analyzes issues of facility location and R & D-industry location theory. The second part of the book addresses interactions with the spatial dynamics, including the dynamic mechanism of regions against a background of space. Spatial dynamics, which includes concepts from statistical physics, provides insights into the dynamic mechanism of aggregation, diffusion, and industrial clustering in regional science as well as in geography and economics. The book then describes regional dynamics as a development of spatial dynamics: REGION is completely independent as a research object and is no longer part of spatial dynamics. This book also discusses in detail regions as the dynamic characteristics of the economy or the basic characteristics of a certain place and examines the theory of regional evolution. It argues that regions are evolution and irreversible features of development with path dependence, which are the characteristics of a region that differ from general economic phenomena. This book by Professor Zheng Wang is outstanding. Its focus on Regional Science will open this area up to a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers. I recommend the work without reservations. It covers critically important principles in the field and should be read and used by students, faculty and applied researchers doing policy analysis. I can see this as an important handbook and reference work as well as a textbook in the field. Kingsley Haynes"--
AbstractResettlement thus far has been conceptualized as a large‐scale form of displacement taking place within a short timeframe. In this article I attempt to reinterpret resettlement as a two‐stage process involving both the deterritorialization and reterritorialization of residents by shedding light on the processes and challenges involved in rebuilding the sense of community of residents after resettlement. I draw on the case of a relocation settlement in Shanghai and find that the Chinese state is heavily involved in reterritorializing residents because it needs to consolidate its influence at the grassroots level and address the practical necessity of assisting tens of millions of resettled residents who lack access to essential amenities and services. The state uses a mechanism I describe as state‐led community building in its attempt to rebuild the sense of community of resettled residents in a way that also renders residents more governable. In practice, this involves increasing the number and power of resettlement committees and promoting resident volunteering and participation through community organizations and events. State‐led community building works relatively well in the case of retired urban residents, but fails to attract other resident groups, including rural and working migrant residents.
In this dissertation, I use data from publicly listed companies to explore factors that affect corporate investment decisions. In Chapter 1, I investigate the sensitive of investment to cash flow. I argue that the sensitivity is partly driven by agency-conflict within stockholders, namely, controlling shareholders extracting firms' resources at the expenses of minority shareholders. To test this finding, I use the mandatory Split-Share Structure Reform in China, which exogenously converted all non-tradable shares to tradable, and reduced the incentives of controlling shareholders' expropriation by better aligning the interests of all shareholders. By employing a theoretical model and conducting empirical analysis, I find a significant reduction in the sensitivity for firms with higher levels of pre-reform expropriation, and the effect is more pronounced for private firms. Moreover, I find that manager's over-investment, financial constraints, and measurement errors in investment opportunities do not drive the reduction in sensitivity. Overall, my findings support the view that controlling shareholders' expropriation leads to investment-cash flow sensitivity. Given that controlling shareholders' expropriation is widely prevalent, my findings have broad relevance for explaining investment and financing decisions.Chapter 2 examines whether investment-cash flow sensitivity is a good measure of financial constraints in emerging markets. We exploit a staggered industrial regulation in China as a natural experiment to identify the impact of increasing financial constraints on the sensitivity. We find that the investment-cash flow sensitivity becomes significantly larger by 7.6% after the enactment of regulation policy in treated industries using a difference-in-differences methodology. Consistent with political favoritism explanations, we show that such a positive association is stronger for state-owned enterprises and more bank-dependent firms, but is smaller under credit easing. The findings empirically suggest that investment-cash flow sensitivity indeed measures financial constraint.In Chapter 3, I investigate the causality between government intervention and investment efficiency. I use the staggered industrial regulation in Chapter 2 as a policy instrument to changes in government intervention. With a difference-in-differences methodology, I find that investment efficiency becomes significantly larger after the enactment in treated industries. Moreover, I show that the association between higher investment efficiency, measured as increasing investment-Tobin's Q sensitivity, and decreasing government intervention is stronger for state-owned enterprises. In addition, I argue that for private firms, such association is significantly stronger for those with political connections. My findings empirically suggest that government intervention distorts the efficiency of corporate investment.
