Full textAbstract:
<p><p>The rising globalisation, supported by rapid technology innovations has changed our current business environment within the last years. As a result, especially SMEs have to cope with a higher pressure of maximising their efficiency and competitiveness in order to survive on the market. Nevertheless, many managers recognised the great potential of outsourcing to utilise the enormous benefits of external suppliers to solve this problem. For instance, it enables the SMEs to concentrate on their core capabilities combined with exploiting synergy affects of the supplier cooperation as costs savings, access to R&D knowledge etc. But the outsourcing dimension changed as well, due to the increased globalisation, companies are not hesitating anymore to step over their country boundaries and offshore to high promising emerging countries like China. However, offshoring cannot perform miracles, more it presents one of the most strategic and complex decisions affecting the whole company.</p><p>Based on these facts, this Master Thesis investigates how an SME should outsource to China. The basis of the outsourcing decision is examined to make the right strategic decision, which is illustrated with a developed model. More, the supplier selection and maintenance are explained, followed by the description of the facts which have to be considered when offshoring to China. Particularly due to the focus on offshoring to China, this thesis will further look into the affects of the Chinese culture on the companies’ networks. The research is based on a case study, which is further used to derive general conclusions for other SMEs.</p><p>The result of the investigation is that SMEs should decide which parts to outsource from a strategic point of view. Further to cope with the lack of resources and the Chinese cultural issues the cooperation with an intermediary is recommended.</p></p>

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims at clarifying the very basic characteristics of Wu Ze Tian&rsquo<br>s reign and her utilization of religious and symbolic propaganda for legitimizing her authority. Wu Ze Tian is the only female emperor of China&rsquo<br>s long dynastic history who founded her own dynasty, Zhou dynasty after overthrowing the Tang dynasty in 690.
The political ideal presented by Confucianism, which is the traditional state doctrine of the imperial China, refuses female participation to political arena and identifies the emperor as the Son of Heaven. In order to overcome the Confucian obstacle, Wu Ze Tian referred to the symbols and rituals of the antiquity, highly appraised by the Confucians, which enabled her participation to the political sphere. Moreover, for legitimizing herself as a female ruler, she utilized the Buddhist scholarship and concepts as tools of political propaganda. It was also a matter of fact that due to the northwestern nomadic influence on the society, female rulership was not conceived to be impossible in the Tang dynasty, as it was in the previous dynasties. Benefitting from this sociopolitical atmosphere, Wu Ze Tian occupied the throne first as the empress and later as the empress dowager for almost 35 years and at last ruled over the whole Chinese soil as the female emperor of the Zhou dynasty for 15 years.
Wu Ze Tian proved herself as a capable ruler under whose dominion the whole country reached its broadest borders and the economy flourished considerably. Not only owing to the power of her political propaganda but also mostly because of her talent in rulership and her social and political reforms, Wu Ze Tian is one the most important Chinese rulers who left a remarkable influence on the governmental tradition of China.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of my thesis is to demonstrate the economic development of China and Latin America. My reason for choosing these two regions for my study is because they are both Third World Nations. My intention on writing this thesis is to prove that culture and the informal business networks of China are the major forces of what is driving the Chinese economy ahead of Latin America.
I will explain how the definition of culture ties in with the economic society of both regions. In writing about culture, I will attempt to explain if there really is a difference between trust in each society. To better interpret this thesis, I came up with several variables of economy that will help explain each region's development. These variables are federal direct investment (FDI), labor, and funding of businesses in each region.
In my study, I present the different approaches that are taken by each region to attract FDI. In addition, I will explain how and if informal networking is beneficial to the work force and the funding of businesses in each region.
The majority of my research for this thesis consisted on reviewing past articles of scholarly journals. From these journals I drew conclusions of my own and compared them to other scholars' work. I also analyzed such websites like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank and various others to be able to come up with my own findings necessary to complete my thesis.
To anticipate the conclusion, this thesis notes how important it is for each region to find its own unique way to attract FDI and how culture can impact the development of an economy. In my thesis, I am including the importance of trust in the society and the significance of the informal business networks on the Chinese economy.

The European Union is one of the earliest regions that commits to environmental
protection and is also the conventional leader of global environmental governance.
China is now in urgent need to govern environment and a key player in dealing with a
number of global environmental challenges, including climate change. Since 1981,
when the European Union and China began to contact in the field of environment,
environment has been rising on the agenda of their bilateral relations. In 1994, the
European Union and China established their first institution for environment. With the
support of institutions, their environmental cooperation has stepped into width and
depth. Today, environment is deeply involved in the Asia-Europe Meeting and the
Annual Summit between the European Union and China, and a number of sectoral
institutions on environmental policy, environmental technology, climate change, and
energy have been established. Meanwhile, a considerable number of environmental
projects have been implemented. The institutions do not only assist in the
implementation of environmental projects, but also result in new institutions and the
construction of the institutional architecture. However, they also experience some limits.
Due to the “low-politics” stance of environment in global politics, the European and
Chinese leaders are half-hearted to the practical operation of some of the institutions. In
addition, these institutions are also ineffective in dealing with issues with conflictual
interests involved, such as climate change and environmental technology transfer.

HUANG, Zhen. "A study of household finance in China." Digital Commons @ Lingnan University, 2013. https://commons.ln.edu.hk/econ_etd/25.
Full textAbstract:
The emerging field of household finance, which studies the welfare benefits of financial markets for households and how effectively households use this market, is of significant importance for both academics and policy makers. However, studies in this new field remain scarce. Using data from a national representative survey that is unique for its combination of abundant household characteristics and heterogeneous individual preferences, attitudes and believes, and for its inclusion of investment behaviour and performances, this thesis pioneers a positive household finance study in developing countries by systematically investigating Chinese householders’ investments in the stock market. Moreover, this is the first study to regard the psychological concept of ‘trait anxiety’ (which refers to a person’s inherent propensity to feel anxious) as negatively associated with stock investment return performance.
This thesis comprises three main studies. In the first study, I investigate the reasons households participate in the stock market. I find that the evidence from China is systematically consistent with previous studies, which mainly focus on developed countries. That is, the poor and the less educated are less likely to hold equity in their final portfolios; and variables reflecting cost, constraint, preference and expectation play a statistically significant role in stock market participation. I also investigate the stock market participation problem from the new perspective of job satisfaction. Discontentment with one’s job, especially on job salary motivates stock investment activity. Satisfaction with hours of work and job stability boosts the probability of participation.
Individual investment performance plays an increasingly important role in household wealth accumulation and financial well-being. Then in the second study I examine the performance of the households that participate in the stock market. First, the evidence from China on this issue is also consistent with that from developed countries. Investors that are poor, less-educated and facing high information costs underperform significantly. Moreover, two so-called ‘investor mistakes’ also undermine stock investment outcomes in China. Second, I study investor performance form a new angle, preference for information screening with respect to resources, and find that investors who rely on their own analysis when making trading decisions earn more. These investors are usually wealthier, have more financial knowledge and are more likely to be male.
My third study further explores determinant of investment performance by identifying a more fundamental, intrinsic and stable heterogeneity that is embedded in human personality, i.e., trait anxiety, which reflects people’s innate propensity to feel anxious. I find that investors who are more prone to anxiety have significantly inferior investment performance in terms of stock market return rate, after controlling for many other relevant factors. This finding is robust across investment periods of both half a year and three years, and across regressions using different proxies for trait anxiety.

Full textAbstract:
In urban history books about Chinese cities, all the vivid descriptions of traditional urban life convey one message--as an important part of the city today, square seems to be absence in China’s past. Square was imported to China along with the establishment of concessions. When foreigners (Russian/German/Italian/, etc.) introduce square toChina along with constructing their concessions, they would never image that Chinese square will become something highly peculiar and unusual in many ways after 100 years. However, the form and function of Chinese square appear quite similar with European square in the very beginning, so what forms the peculiar characters of Chinese today?
The answer to this question may start from China’s failure of ‘the first Sino-Japanese war, since then The foundation of Chinese ideology and philosophy--Confucianism was doubted and questioned. Meanwhile, Social Darwinism was influential and prevailed nationwide. the direct influence of these 2 transformations are western culture was considered as higher potential culture. This idea leading to the disappear of traditional public spaces like streets and appear of western public spaces like squares or parks. With the purpose to reform the public life and remake the public space, there are 3 stages for square design in China.All these ideological transformations and urban reform have 3 points influence square design of China, the first is the disappear of China's traditional street culture, the second is the residue of collectivism since Mao's era, the third is the influence of the Soviet Union and Beaux-Arts system.
In this context, there are similar and peculiar characters in both form and function. In this study, Nanjing was selected as studying subject. Nanjing was the capital of China on many occasions. The name Nanjing literally means ‘the southern capital’ and its counterpart is Beijing—means ‘the northern capital’. Among them, the urban design of Ming Empire and Republic China contributes greatly to influence the urban structure of Nanjing today. All the five cases selected for study have close relationship with traces of republic china, 3 of them have relationship with remains of Ming Empire.

Full textAbstract:
China’s economic reforms of 1978, which led to the country’s transition from a centrally-planned to a market-oriented economy, ushered in a phase of accelerated urbanization. Influenced by the economic transition and taking advantage of its privileged geographic and historic position, Tianjin has seen dramatic changes in its social landscape during the last three decades. Given this context, this study aims at understanding the different urban socio-spatial patterns of Tianjin and their mechanisms in three distinctive economic contexts by adapting both statistical and spatial approaches. Due to increasing population mobility caused by the economic reforms, the urban social landscape of Tianjin has become increasingly multifaceted, characterized by a “one axis, two nuclei” urban morphology. The rise of the Binhai New Area (TBNA) in the southeast is creating a dual-core urban social structure in Tianjin, with its traditional Urban Core located in the center of the city. In terms of the Urban Core’s expansion and population movements southeast toward the TBNA, an asymmetric suburbanization process is evident in Tianjin. Meanwhile, an additional population shift toward Beijing in the northwest is significant during 2000-2010, illustrating the changing relationship between these two neighbouring municipalities. By integrating itself with Beijing, Tianjin has not only recovered from under Beijing’s shadow during the centrally-planned economy period, but is also benefitting from Beijing in order to flourish.

In this inquiry, I examine how six repatriated students from China perceive their experiences in Japanese schools and in Japanese second language education. I focus on their voices and perspectives gained through audio-taped interviews. Employing Pierce's (1995) concept of investment and Rampton's (1990) concepts of language expertise, affiliation, and inheritance, I focus on how these adolescent students perceive the relationship between languages and identities and how their experiences affect their ways of looking at themselves. The data I collected through interviews in Japan supports the views that identity is multiple and fluid, and languages are profoundly and intricately related with learners' identity construction. Depending on their particular contexts in which they situate themselves, they hold distinct views on the relationship between languages and identities. I address how the particular context in Japan's educational system may influence their ways of looking at themselves. The study confirms that teachers need to examine our students' identities and frames of reference, values and beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
In today’s global market, China attracts great attention due to its rapid growing economy. Organizations from different countries take advantage of this, and move production to China. The noteworthy aspect of this situation is that most of these companies are Multi National Enterprises. These MNEs are aggressive in their expansion due to possession of major capabilities and possibilities to confront barriers and take economic risks. However, there are smaller companies with fewer resources that are more limited and choose not to move production to China. What drives these companies to bypass the well documented advantages with a production process in there? This research aims to fill that gap. This deductive research is based on Swedish SMEs that have been inquired to rank the most influential drivers behind their decision to move or not to move production to China. The investigation is conducted quantitatively by a survey. Another aspect of the survey which strengthens the result is the core strategies of the SMEs, which are asked to be ranked in order to reveal the most dominant one. The results analysis signifies that the key-drivers and the core strategy together influence the decision, to either move or not to move. However, the generalizability is negatively affected by the low level of participants. Therefore, in-depth analysis has been conducted, which highlights that the results do reveal a connection between the drivers and the core strategy and how they influence the decision. This research reveals the most influential processes for Swedish SMEs, which can further be considered by other SMEs that are in the process of making a decision to move or not to move production to China.

Full textAbstract:
Prior research has demonstrated that employees react toward injustice through engaging in sabotage. Most studies on the relationship between injustice and employee sabotage, however, have occurred in North America. It is not known if these findings generalize to other cultural settings. Taking a cross-cultural perspective, I conducted two field studies to (a) examine the role of cultural values and individual difference factors stemming from cultural values and religious beliefs in the link between justice and sabotage (Study 1); (b) explore whether employees in China react differently toward supervisory and customer injustice from employees in North America (Study 2); and (c) to the extent that differences in justice effects exist between countries, examine whether cultural values (e.g., individualism) explain (i.e., mediate) the between-country differences in the injustice-sabotage associations (Study 2). Surveys were administered to 418 front-line employees working in international hotels in China (Study 1) and 203 front-line employees working in one hotel chain in China and Canada (Study 2). Results of Study 1 revealed that the relationship between supervisory justice and sabotage toward supervisor differs as a function of vertical individualism. Moreover, the association between customer injustice and sabotage toward customer occurs as a function of horizontal individualism, negative reciprocity norm, and belief in ultimate justice. Results of Study 2 showed that the strength of the association between customer injustice and sabotage toward customer was significantly weaker among employees in China than in Canada. Three cultural values, namely individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance, accounted for these between-country differences, with individualism as the strongest mediatory factor. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the rapid increase in both adiposity and diabetes in China, substantial uncertainty remains about the relationship between these two conditions in the population. Using data from the China Kadoorie Biobank study of 0.5 million adults recruited during 2004-8 from 10 diverse areas of China, this thesis examines the associations of different adiposity measures (overall adiposity: BMI and percentage body fat; central adiposity: waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, and waist-height ratio) with type 2 diabetes prevalence and incidence. To assess the quality of diagnosis, a separate event-verification study was conducted in ~1,000 reported diabetes cases. Overall at baseline, the mean age of the analysed participants was 52 years, 41% were men, 32% had a BMI≥25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (4% ≥30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) and 5.2% had self-reported or screen-detected diabetes. Both cross-sectional and prospective analyses of well-characterised diabetic cases (26,622 prevalent and 2,910 incident cases) showed that adiposity is strongly positively associated with diabetes (p<0.0001), throughout all or most of the distribution of each adiposity measure. Per 1 SD higher adiposity measure, measures of central adiposity were associated with ~90% increased risk, compared with ~80-85% increased risk for general adiposity measures. Among measures of central adiposity, waist-hip ratio was the most strongly associated with diabetes prevalence, whereas waist circumference was the most predictive of diabetes incidence. Although measures of central adiposity were the most strongly associated with diabetes risk, there was still a strong positive association with measures of general adiposity after adjusting for central adiposity (p<0.0001), and the combination of both types of measure improved risk prediction. Given waist circumference, hip circumference was inversely associated with both diabetes prevalence and incidence (p<0.0001). For many of the above associations, there was possible effect modification by age and sex. These findings will provide important and reliable evidence to quantify the level of diabetic risk associated with adiposity, hence to inform clinical interventional strategies and future public health programmes.

Full textAbstract:
At present, the main cooking fuels inChinaare natural gas, coal gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), coal, biogas, wood and straw. This paper reviews the characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and the current application status of these different cooking fuels. Moreover, a questionnaire survey is presented, dealing with different cooking fuels in Chinese households and the occupants’ perceived health, ventilation behaviors and general knowledge in potential health hazards. About 56% of the respondents of the questionnaire survey stated that symptoms like itching eyes, dry or irritated throat, irritated nose, running or blocked nose and headache were worse when they were cooking in their kitchens. This suggests that cooking fuel combustion has a significant influence on human health. The most evident health effect was that wood and straw as cooking fuel caused eye irritation. The present common house planning in Chinese countryside, where the kitchens are separated from the rest of the house via a courtyard, is very likely to reduce the stove contaminant exposure of all occupants. In general, the main cooking fuels of the cities tend to be better than the cooking fuels of the countryside. Natural gas appears to be the cleanest cooking fuel among all urban cooking fuels except electricity. For the rural residents, biogas or LPG is a better choice than wood, straw and coal as cooking fuel.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>商學研究所<br>89<br>Privatization has become an important international political and economic topic since it burst onto the policy scene in 1979. Now it is not only national policy in developed countries such as United States, United Kingdom and Japan but also a critical improving strategy of developing countries, even has it challenged the dominant system in many socialistic nations which typically stress centralization of state power.
The two parts of China, Mainland China and Taiwan, share their similarity and differences when conducting reforms to public enterprises, which have been principle strategies of both governments.
In Taiwan, public enterprises gradually lost their original position in economic environment as a result of economic liberalization. Privatization reform, therefore, focuses on transferring ownership to the public, exerting utmost economic potential and protecting social rights as well as employees interest.
Innovations of Mainland China, in contrast, attempt to maintain the original dominant position of national-owned economy. Of particular concern is how to split management right from ownership, and how to specifically building up a modernized management system. As a result, the innovation procedure of Mainland China emphasizes on reconstructing shares of stock company, confirming national control, framing professional entrepreneur management system, and evaluating internal efficiency.
This paper constructs a theory of performance review in public enterprises in an attempt to better understand the role of privatization in resolving existing problems and enhancing efficiency. Case researches to China Steel Co. and China Unicom Co. are conducted and the related comparison is performed through the following four areas as Customer, Operation Process, Organizational Learning and Finance.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>中國與亞太區域研究所<br>106<br>Rapid social and economic development in Mainland China, prompted by various reforms, together with the opening up of the country, translated into a developmental boom which has driven economic prosperity. However, despite advances made, serious pollution problems persist. These problems constantly endanger the ecological envi-ronment and exert pressure on natural resources. Water pollution, exacerbated by the shortage of water, deeply affects the sustainability of economic development, people’s livelihood and health. Since 2005, ecological and environmental problems in river ba-sins have received greater attention. At the Ninth People''s Report Conference, Beijing, 2017, a market-oriented and diversified ecological compensation system was identified as a key element in order to facilitate the construction of a progressive ecological sys-tem. The introduction of the ecological compensation system for river basins has come timeously to ease complex water pollution problems in Mainland China, thereby pro-moting the harmonious co-existence of man and nature.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>政治學研究所<br>98<br>China has been a popular research subject in the past few decades, while the way to view China has witnessed dramatic changes. This research holds that it is important to systematically study the relationships between China studies and the social, economic and political forces guiding through analyzing the analytical angles selected by scholars have an impact upon how they perceive China. In the China studies communities, the ethnic Chinese scholars’ knowledge of China in Southeast Asian is a noteworthy example: their identities imply diverse degree of Chinese history and cultural inheritance. The variety of ethnic Chinese identities represents the different epistemology of China.
This research aims to add to the“Epistemology of China Studies” project by exploring the perspective of ethnic Chinese interpretation of China through Prof. Leo Suryadinata, who perceives China from a distant, yet culturally connected viewpoint. Through the sociology of knowledge approach, we could understand Leo Suryadina’s China interpretation which involves an alien emotion in his academic and literature works, and also from the Southeast Asian Chinese society where he locates in. In Leo Suryadina’s epistemology of China, China is an alien homeland and an object as he interprets it. On the other hand, as Leo Suryadinata’s interpretational tool, China is a concept of ethnic Chinese identities with redefinition.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>大陸研究所<br>89<br>Abstract
China has begun to pay close attention to information operation since 1985, in particular, after the Persian Gulf War in 1991. From the very high official level downwards, all military agencies of China have devoted to research on information operation. Generally speaking, the military experts of China agree that Information Operation is a highly integrated warfare, and that all military actions that can disrupt the enemy's capability of controlling information fall into the category of Information Operation. This is a new wave of military revolution which is based on information technology. Militaries of different countries are embarking on the revolution. The foundation of the information industry, the progress of the military theories, and the attitude towards military revolution will decide the order in which different nations completing the revolution.
This thesis defines the information operation very similar to the definition adopted by the U.S. Army, and focuses on information operation at the national level. The main reason of China's emphasis on information operation is to c China believes that a small-scaled, localized war with the U.S. is unavoidable, and that the U.S. will either directly or indirectly intervene in any military conflict between China and Taiwan. China would like to disrupt the control and command system of the U.S. army and to stabilize balance the moderate and conservative factions within the party. Moreover, China believes that information operation has the advantages of launching a swift and precise attack and avoiding mass destruction on Taiwan's infrastructure and high-tech industry. It also has the benefits of low intensity, low loss, high efficiency, fast attack, and fast victory. In summary, information operation is regarded by China as a kind of warfare that is in conformance both with the ancient war theory and the modern economic demand.
In the face of China's development on information operation, Taiwan should think bout how to make best use of its advantages to confront China's threats, and to gain a military edge over China. Thesis reaches nine points in conclusion: 1) China has placed more attention on offensive information operation; 2) China supports asymmetrical warfare; 3) China's rapid development in internet technology is increasing its capability in information operation; 4) China has also shown emphasis and determination in the area of Information Security; 5) China will aggressively push for the establishment of legal system for information security, and raise its defensive capability on information operation; 6) China will actively train skilled people to run information operation; 7) China's emphasis on conduct information operation during military exercises shows its determination to use it during a war; 8) China's current network military power is still inferior to that of the U.S.; 9) Taiwan has to look at China's development on Information Operation objectively.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立東華大學<br>公共行政研究所<br>93<br>The purpose of this article is try to analyze and explain China's "peaceful rise". Including of the definition of the meaning and function of China's "peaceful rise".
All interesting and creative theory, China's global role and responsibilities appears to have been set aside this year, in part as a result of leadership disagreements. The idea of China's "peaceful rise" （heping jueqi）to international prominence as a responsible, peaceable, and nonthreatening global power was introduced by Zheng Bijian in November 2003. It caught the interest of many Chinese and Western scholars and observers, becoming the subject of intense and surprisingly open debate. General Secretary Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao both used the term in speeches in December, suggesting that the idea might become a more formal component of Chinese foreign policy. The concept itself has not been anathematized, however, and it remains the subject of academic inquiry.
However, in the international arena the PRC leadership is rather restrained in promulgating the notion of the "rise" or "'revival" of China. The Chinese are aware that, despite the progress China has made so far, the existing gap between China and the developed nations, and the United States in particular, is enormous in term of national wealth, standard of living, education, and science and technology. It will take at least decades for China to catch up with the "Western world. In the interim, formidable impediments lie on the road ahead that might derail modernization programs. The least example of such impediments is the unexpected consequences of the epidemic or SAR.S (severe acute respiratory syndrome), which has caused a sharp reduction of
tourism and international commercial activities in China in the spring of 2003 and damaged China's image abroad.
China has been keeping a low profile faced with increased international attention to a "rising" China. The Chinese leadership is conscious of the ambivalent feelings in neighboring countries as well as in the United States and Europe about the growth of Chinese power. The Chinese carefully read comments on 'the China threat." "the coming collapse of China," and other opinions expressed in international media, but have not overreacted to them. As Vice Premier Qian Qichen, China's foreign policy architect, commented on Gordon Change’ s book The Coming Collapse of China, only wants to promote sales by giving the book such a sensational tide." Qian added, "The 'China threat' theory and the 'China collapse' theory appear to contradict each other, but they are in fact two sides of the same coin. They both reflect the views of anti-China elements in the world. They are not worth refuting anyway." According to Mr. Oian, if China's comprehensive power today were at the same level as it was decades ago, there would be no such loud voices about the "China threat," and there will be no market for [his theory in a few decades from now when China becomes much more developed-' The Chinese leadership has reached the realization that
exaggerations of Chinese economic achievements, either by foreigners or by Chinese themselves. might result practically in a reduction of foreign aid and pressures for China to reevaluate its currency and to use more of its foreign trade surplus. In the coming years China is likely to make strenuous public relations efforts to reshape its international image, especially in Asia.
What is lacking in the Chinese deliberation of the 'rise of China' is any clear realization of the need to promote an institutionalized regional or global order in which China would play a major role in cooperation with other great powers, and in which China would be committed to more international obligations. As is pointed out by a-report to the Trilateral Commission in 2001, "China's rapid rise is occurring in a region that lacks firmly established, integrating institutions like die European Union
that help build trust. Asia has no security community in the transatlantic sense of peace in which resort to violence has become virtually unimaginable."

In the past 50 years, the China fisheries has undergone many stages, including the weakness, recovery, meander, stagnation, paralysis stage and up to the gold stage of leading the world’s fisheries nowadays. The process, background, and mode of the fisheries policy making in each stage can provide the valuable reference to a certain extent. The study was applied with the policy science to compare and analyze the China fishery policy in the past 50 years. The results are summarized as follows:
1. The development of policy of China fisheries could be divided into 6 stages. In the former 4 stages, all national policies, including fisheries policy, were made without the rules due to the class struggle of social democracy. For 20 years of starting reform and opening from the later 2 stages to nowsadays, the China fisheries has still kept the stable growth within the global fishery were under depression.
2.Because of the reform for substantially changing production system since 1978, including the division of ownership and operating right, to build up the systems of stocks, profit sharing, production undertaking, and to transform the old thought of equal pay for unequal work into producing positively, China fisheries has grown rapidly and steadily during the recent 20 years.
3. Since the reform and opening in 1978, the government of China has been gradually minimized the direct controls on fishery economic activities, and solved the microeconomic problem of resource allocation by the market mechanism itself. However, the overall macroscopic fishery affairs are still planed and supervised by government. Among them, the policy of opening price of aquatic products has the most influence on fishery economy.
4. China is a socialism-based country and turns to a reform and opening country gradually, and for the reason, it possessed a strong elite leading characteristic in the initial stage, and gradually died away with the trend. The evolutions of fishery policy decisions are (1)elite model for policy; (2)incremental model for policy;(3)comprehensive model for policy making.
5. To face the short of fishery resource and the limit of conventional fishing area, the ocean fisheries policy of China will be set to get the maximum mutual benefit of ecology, society, and economy, and including to make the switch to another line of work as 6 strategies: the structure adjustment, the discard of fishing boats, the entry regulation, the protection of biological environment, the enforcement of EEZ, and stable development.
6. According to the bottleneck of development, China aquaculture policy with being concerned about not only the yield but also 4 strategies: the planning and management, the fishing permit system, precaution of fish disease and the popularization of science and popularization of science research.
7. It is also one of the significant point that a tend of talents with professional abilities, young age, good attitude and excellent experiences, China fisheries have the achievement.
8. Now the closed fishing seasons is the best policy of all China fisheries policy. Also, the policy of reducing the number of fishing boats and fishing effect will be carried out to enhance the effect of closed fishing.
9. After winning the admission into WTO, the policies of China will be to entirely promote the quality of aquatic products and advance the trade liberalization of aquatic products with the support from the strong aquaculture.
10. According to the China’s experience, the key for the enforcement of fisheries policy in the initial stage is the “declaration” and it should be displayed with a simple and clear slogan to make policy acceptable easily.
11. The positive expanding development of deep-sea tuna fishery in China in recent years will be a threat to Taiwan and the authorities should pay more attention on its development.

碩士<br>國立屏東大學<br>國際貿易學系碩士班<br>103<br>After coming into twenty-first century, the international trade conflict is inevitable in the economy development. With the rapid development of international trade in China, the trade conflict with other countries is becoming more frequent and intensified, moreover, more risky. Then, changes in the global economic and trade environment will lead to nations’ reform of trade policy and revision of regulations. Since the Chinese economic reform started in nineteen seventy-eight, China’s economic power has attracted the global’s attention because of its rapid development. As a result, trade conflicts arise and trade relief measures are sometimes concerned. The key issues of their disputes always relate to China as a non-market economy status. This article is based on economic trade analysis for the study to observe“Five-Year Economic Plan”, and try to explain what kind of role is “Plan” played in China's economic development. In addition, the Chinese many years have occupied first place of high continuously the global anti-dumping complaint. Anti-dumping measure has become many governments’strategic tools in international trade for years, especially in industrialized nations. The anti-dumping measure is even regarded as trade protecting means during global economic recession. Then, the Anti-dumping measure is an approved trade protection measure by both WTO and its former organization, GATT. Its purpose is to protect domestic industries from the exporting country's low-price goods dumping. To strengthen the competitiveness of domestic industries, WTO provides import relief and the anti-dumping measures for countries to enforce the adjustment of industrial structures. This research collects Chinese all previous years handles in the anti-dumping case, from “application period”, “the distribution countries”, “tariff codes”, “processing mode” and so on four major parts, using Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit test makes the related real diagnosis analysis, and China has the remarkable difference in four parts, this research and discovers its influence the possible reason. Finally, according to the conditional probability, the probability find that the impose anti-dumping tax of the most high in chapter twenty-eight through sixty-three, the non-impose anti-dumping tax of the most high in chapter sixty-four through ninety-eight, the disallowing of the most high in chapter one through twenty-seven, the price undertaking of the most high in chapter twenty-eight through sixty-three, the chapter one through twenty-seven of the most high in the disallowing, the chapter twenty-eight through sixty-three of the most high in the price undertaking, the chapter sixty-four through ninety-eight of the most high in the non-impose anti-dumping tax.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>大陸研究所<br>91<br>Abstract:
Chiang Ching-kuo, the 6th and 7th president of Republic of China, not only initiated a series of economic reforms that were crucial to rapid economic development in Taiwan, but also proposed several major political reforms in Taiwan, such as the lifting of material law, the reform of the Legislative Yuan, and the legalization of opposition political parties. As a matter of fact, he once said that the times had been changing, the environment had been changing, as well as the tide had been changing during a KMT regular meeting on October 15th in 1986. Therefore, the purpose of the research is trying to analyze what those changes Chiang Ching-kuo meant were and how they happened. Furthermore, I will confer the reforms that Chiang Ching-kuo implemented because of his being conscious of those changes. Last but not least, I will demonstrate how these reforms influenced developments inside Taiwan as well as the relationship between Taiwan and China.
In the research, we can detect it was obvious that Chiang Ching-kuo had changed the policy and attitude toward China in the latter part of his life given that he turned the policy from “three-no-policy”, which means no contact, no negotiations, and no compromise, to the humanitarian policy of allowing people to visit relatives in Mainland China. The revised policy then resulted in the dispute about Chiang Ching-kuo’s intent. Some people believed that he was hoping Taiwan and China could unify; however, others thought he made efforts on Taiwan’s independence from China.
From my point of view, I do not think the core theme of discussion while Chiang Ching-kuo pondered on the relationship between Taiwan and China was union or independence. On the other hand, he might focus on how the government could devote its energies from counterattacking mainland China to the innovation and construction in Taiwan. In fact, to work for renovation and development in Taiwan did not involve in the issue of union or independence. On the contrary, from the expression of Chiang Ching-kuo’s political views, we can discover that he considered that the implementation of democracy in Taiwan would effect whether China could become a democratization country or not. As a result, I think we should take Chiang Ching-kuo’s policy toward Mainland China surpassing the controversy over union and independence.

碩士<br>東吳大學<br>法律學系<br>101<br>The Taiwan Strait has been divided into two political entities for more than 60 years since 1949, the relationship of citizen between strait has changed dramatically and become more complicated and normalized as well day by day. The succession issues has now transformed from politically hostile standpoint to the one of economic cooperation. In fact, due to the implementation of “Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area”, the succession issues between strait become unrealistic and sometimes unfair in Taiwan. For example, the article 67 Paragraph 1 “Where any of the people of the Mainland Area inherits a deceased's estate in the Taiwan Area according to the laws, the total amount of the estate any of the people of the Mainland Area may inherit shall not exceed two million New Taiwan Dollars. The excess shall be distributed to the other heirs of the same order for inheritance in the Taiwan Area; if there is no other heir of the same order in the Taiwan Area, it shall be distributed to the heirs of the next order in the Taiwan Area; if there is no single heir in the Taiwan Area, it shall be taken by the Treasury.”, and Paragraph 4 “Where there is any real property in the deceased's estate referred to in Paragraph 1, the right of inheritance of any of the people of the Mainland Area in respect of such real property shall be converted into a dollar amount except for the real property dependent upon by any heir in the Taiwan Area as residence, which shall not be inherited by any heir in the Mainland Area, and the dollar amount of which shall not be included in the total amount of the deceased's estate in determining the share to which any heir in the Mainland Area is entitled.” have limited the right of inheritance unfairly to the Mainland Area’s people, in addition, although article 67-1 has declared when all the heirs of the estate are the people of the Mainland Area, it need to request a court to designate the National Property Bureau, Ministry of Finance as the estate administrator, meanwhile article 68 still limit the estate of verterans who come to Taiwan with the government of R.O.C after civil war in 1949 dies with no heirs, with heirs unknown, or only with heirs unable to administer the estate has to be administed by designated government unit. Such limitations has affected the most of the veterans who came to Taiwan with R.O.C government after civil war in 1949 and ever since without or could not have family in Taiwan.
My parent came to Taiwan with R.O.C government in 1949 and such group of people usually live in the same community and that made me familiarize the way they look at and think about things very much, coincidently, my current job also requires me dealing with succession issues for those veterans. All those experiences gave me motivation to research on the issues and I do hope the conclusion could bring up some hints to our government if they are willing to face the truth and change.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>國際事務與戰略研究所碩士在職專班<br>107<br>Since 2013,China has continuously controlled land reclamation in the South China Sea, strengthened military construction, and completed civil and military aviation flight tests. Although the results of the July 2009 Hague International Permanent Court of Arbitration found that China violated Philippine sovereignty, but China would not back down and kept its stand. China military even continues to strengthen construction in the South China Sea including the installation of anti-ship and air to air missiles on 3 reefs.
China seems to adopt a policy of softening for the ASEAN countries, trying to mend friendly relations with the countries around the South China Sea, but on the issue of principle, they still do not want to make concessions. China and Philippines also promoted the repair of the two countries after the outcome of the arbitration case was released, they even sign an agreement to jointly develop oil and gas in the South China Sea, but the Philippines still would not back down on the main issue in South China Sea. Although the United States is not a sovereign claimant of the South China Sea, it still advocates freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. The intention is to prevent coastal countries from over-marriage and challenge their maritime hegemony to ensure that their military could hold power around the world. China''s intensified construction on the South Island reef naturally caused US dissatisfaction in this case. China''s international moral image is still difficult for Southeast Asian countries to accept it as a regional leader, therefore South East Asia countries are hoping that the United States can maintain a certain strategic position and continue to carry out its mission of freedom of navigation to prevent China from achieving long-term and widespread summer in the South China Sea. However, as China’s diplomatic bargaining chips accumulate, the current situation in the region will face more Big challenge.
In result, this article will explore the strategic background of the South China Sea dispute from the complicated issues of various countries, and help to understand how China formulates the South China Sea policy. Secondly, the Philippines will be separated to analyze the origin of the dispute between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea, and how to survive in the gap between the US and China. Finally, the discussion of influence between China and Philippines after the case of South China Sea arbitration
