China’s Insolvency Law and Interregional Cooperation: Comparative Perspectives from China and the EU (The Rule of Law in China and Comparative Perspectives)
by Xinyi GongAs a result of resumption of sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao as well as the uncertain relationship between the Mainland and Taiwan, China has become a country composed of peculiar political compounds, resulting in four independent jurisdictions. This makes inter-regional legal cooperation a complicated yet compelling topic. Divided into five parts, this book considers possible solutions to problems in China’s inter-regional cross-border insolvency cooperation. These solutions are developed on the basis of two groups of comparative studies, including comparison among the cross-border insolvency systems of the four independent jurisdictions in China and comparison between EU Insolvency Regulation and the UNCITRAL Model Law. The author discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems and presents original recommendations for the way forward. The book will be a valuable resource for academics and policy makers in insolvency law, Asian law and comparative law.
China’s Intellectual Property Regime for Innovation: Risks to Business and National Development
by Dan Prud’homme Taolue ZhangThis book evaluates the risks that China’s intellectual property (IP) regime poses to innovation. China's IP regime has been heavily criticized as potentially stifling innovation. However, the country’s innovation capabilities have risen significantly and major reforms have recently been made to its IP regime. How risky, really, is China's IP regime for innovation? This book investigates this question at different units of analysis based on a multidisciplinary assessment involving law, management, economics, and political science. Specifically, it critically appraises China's substantive IP laws, measures for boosting patent quantity and quality, measures for transmitting and exploiting technological knowledge, new experimental IP measures, and China's systems for administering and enforcing IP. Practitioners and scholars from various backgrounds can benefit from the up-to-date analysis as well as the practical managerial tools provided, including risk assessment matrices for businesses and recommendations for institutional reform.

China’s Logistics: From Laggard to Innovator
by Paul Clifford Christopher LoganExploring an underreported subject with global ramifications, this book sheds much-needed light on the rapid development of China’s logistics industry over the past several decades and puts it into historical context.Though still lagging behind global logistics leaders overall, China has invested heavily in logistics infrastructure and technology to become a vital link in global supply chains, and is forging ahead in e-commerce logistics. This timely book analyzes the key policies, infrastructure projects, technologies, and companies that have transformed China's domestic logistics capabilities and enabled it to become deeply intertwined with the worldwide supply chain. As the world enters a new era of geopolitics and confronts the possibility of US-China decoupling, it is more critical than ever to understand China's logistics system to navigate uncertain times—and with their decades of experience, these authors are the very best guides.Business leaders, policy makers, and logistics and supply chain professionals will benefit from this comprehensive and readable book’s insights into how and why China’s logistics system developed as it has, what that means for businesses and nations connected to China, and where we go from here.
China’s Low-Carbon Energy Relations with Emerging Markets: A Multi-Level Perspective (Routledge Explorations in Energy Studies)
by Ryan McLeanThis book explores China’s contemporary energy relations with emerging markets.Through the prisms of global low-carbon transition and power sector development, Ryan McLean utilises the multi-level perspective to build upon existing understandings of the Chinese renewables ‘revolution’ from a top-down interpretation. McLean presents an in-depth analysis of the external ramifications of China’s solar and wind dominance across the Global South in the areas of green technological trade, project construction, and regime financing. This research provides a convincing explanation for why Chinese coal incumbents have been proactive overseas in spite of the country’s clean energy dominance and Beijing’s climate commitments. Finally, the book argues that China’s low-carbon prowess has longer-term significance for the Global South, and in addition contributes to the rising debates over the geopolitics of renewable transition in a complex, multipolar world.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese energy policy and foreign relations, energy markets in the Global South, international politics, and the wider global energy transition field.

China’s National Innovation System: Industrial Policy, Funding Mechanisms and Foreign Investment
by Adrian BăzăvanChina abruptly became the second largest economy and, at the same time, the second largest R&D spender in the world, aiming openly to become an innovation powerhouse that holds the edge in critical technologies. The significant consequences on global trade flows, international security, governance and economy are increasingly drawing the attention of policymakers, academics, and industry leaders worldwide. The study highlights the main characteristics and trends of the national innovation system in China, as well as its strengths, challenges, and prospects. It examines in detail public policies, funding mechanisms for innovation, inbound and outbound FDI, IPR mechanisms, public perception towards technology, priority industries, and other factors. It thus identifies the main innovative actors of the system, including government, industry and research institutions, highlighting the patterns of interaction among them. The findings are showcased in a focused case study on the AI industry and further serve to advance policy recommendations for the EU. Traditionally, China has made more effort and has achieved better results in understanding and learning from ‘the West’. It is now vital for other countries to better understand China.

China’s New Development Strategies: Upgrading from Above and from Below in Global Value Chains
by Gary Gereffi Penny Bamber Karina Fernandez-StarkThis book examines China’s new development policies, which seek to reposition China from export platform for a diverse array of low-cost consumer goods to technological leader in sectors linked to advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, e-commerce, and new internet-related production networks oriented to China’s large domestic market. Focusing on the post-2010 period, the book shows how China’s central government programs and reforms (“upgrading from above”) are coupled with a wide variety of local government policies, firm strategies, and domestic economy shifts (“upgrading from below”) that link China’s top-down programs into industrial growth on the ground. Placing China’s current development push within a global value chain (GVC) context shows how Chinese development strategies and the global economy remain intertwined. This volume brings together international GVC experts and China-based researchers who have carried out detailed fieldwork and industry specific quantitative analyses of GVCs and development with important implications for policymakers in both developed and developing economies.
China’s New Normal, Supply-side, and Structural Reform (China Perspectives)
by Cai FangChina’s continuous, rapid economic growth since the Reform and Opening up of the country in the early 1980s has been praised as a miracle of the world economy. However, since 2012, the rate of growth has slowed down, rendering some people pessimistic about the country’s economic prospects. This title is a collection of a leading Chinese economists’ views on China’s economic growth and structural reform. The author argues that China’s economy has entered “the new normal”, meaning that slowed growth rate is not a cyclical phenomenon but a change in the stage of economic development. Therefore, there is a need to enact supply-side structural reforms, such as improved efficiency of resource reallocation, while shifting the mode of development from one of inputs to innovation. In addition, the author discusses the five major concepts of development proposed for the “13th Five-Year Plan”, as well as some critical topics related to supply-side structural reform, such as agricultural development, labor employment, and product quality. Scholars and students of macroeconomics, development economics, and the Chinese economy will find this book to be essential reading.
