China’s Successful Reform and Opening-up Policy and Its Political Implications for Africa

Over the past four decades,the Chinese people have always pursued development with an open door,and have accomplished a great transition from seclusion and semi-seclusion to all-round openness.China,s economic progress,understood in a global historical context,is unique.Facing the rise of foreign companies in China,Beijing balances market competition due to the diversification of economic actors and local protection of SOEs and strategically important industries.The CPC has developed powerful,effective top-down mobilization capacities.The quality of the ruling party is also vital to developing countries,and most developing countries usually still lack well-developed governments,markets and civil societies.Reforms are necessary for growth and for the ruling party as well.While African developing countries face the challenge of finding a suitable development path,they could find the answer after getting a better understanding of Chinese reform and opening up.

Balancing Academic and Artistic Merit:Equity Concerns for Dance Students in China’s College Entrance System

This study explores the effects of recent changes in China’s dance college admissions,which now equally weigh academic and professional performance.While the policy aims to create fairer admissions,it presents challenges for students from specialized dance programs(keban),who may struggle with academic demands.In contrast,academically strong students with limited dance training may gain an advantage.The research highlights the policy’s mixed impact and proposes flexible admissions strategies,such as conditional offers and ongoing academic support,to better accommodate students with diverse abilities.The study underscores the importance of refining these policies to ensure greater equity and cultural diversity in dance education.

Adding Value to Applied Policy Models： The Case of the WTO and OECD Support Classification Systems

Both the OECD and the WTO have accumulated systematic data on the magnitude of support going to farmers as a result of farm policies. The datasets are collected for different purposes, but both give a detailed picture of the evolution of these policies. This paper extends recent work on the compatibility or otherwise of the two attempts at policy monitoring by considering the categorization of individual policy instruments in Norway, Switzerland, the US, and the EU. The results show how the OECD dataset, particularly with respect to the link between direct payments and production requirements, complements that of the WTO. Many payments classified in the WTO Green Box require production, raising the possibility that they may distort production and trade. Though the issue of correct notifications to the WTO is the province of lawyers, the implications for modeling and policy analysis are of interest to economists, and the broader question of improving the consistency of the two datasets is of importance in the quest for transparency in the interpretation of changes in farm policies.

Beyond the Shadow of the Law： Firm Insolvency, State-Building, and the New Policy Bankruptcy Reform in Late Qing Chongqing

This paper modifies the historical assessment of the 1906 Qing Bankruptcy Code by proposing a new approach to the history of commercial dispute resolution. It argues that the Qing bankruptcy reform cannot be understood by evaluating only published sources, and that a thorough understanding of dispute mediation techniques must serve as a foundation for assessing the historical importance of the law. It offers a description of Qing insolvency dispute practices by providing an analysis of cases from the Ba county archives. The results of that analysis suggest that, although the Qing Bankruptcy Code was repealed soon after its introduction, the reform ambitions behind the new legislation were realized through the implementation of another New Policy reform, which allowed chambers of commerce to resolve bankruptcy disputes differently. This conclusion suggests that the basic vision of the Qing economic reforms of the New Policy movement had more of a lasting impact than has been assumed to date.

Purpose:This study conducts a systematic review of policy reforms for the evaluation of scientific and technological research(E-STR)in China’s colleges.In doing so,it identifies changes to past policies,as well as the objectives and realizability of the most recent policy reform.Design/Approach/Methods:This study systematically reviews the contexts of E-STR policy reforms in China’s colleges post 2000 using three important related policy documents from 2003,2013,and 2020 as samples.Research findings were obtained via content analysis.Findings:Unlike previous attempts,the most recent policy reform has incorporated the lessons learned while introducing highly targeted measures and a monitoring mechanism.Such reform should accelerate the promotion of major original scientific research in China’s colleges,enhance the contribution of scientific research to socioeconomic development,and strengthen support for the cultivation of undergraduate talents.Originality/Value:Initiated in the early part of 2000,China’s latest E-STR policy reform constitutes an important turning point in the initiative to burst the research bubble and return to the essence of innovation.It will drive China’s colleges to embark on a research path that places value on original innovation and contribution to socioeconomic development.

The Role of （New） Leadership in EU-China Relations

The author argues that the change of China＇s leadership do not fundamentally affect the EU-China relationship. More structural factors and imbalances are at work. On both sides there is a collective leadership bound by continuity and constraints. Strategic advances have been made in the past on either side at junctures in the leadership and in the EU case at junctures of institutional change （Maastricht, Lisbon Treaties）： After the creation of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the European Commission （HR/VP）, the European External Action Service （EEAS） and the EU President replacing rotating Presidencies the focus of the EU＇s China policy has been moving beyond economic to political and strategic initiatives. More leadership can be expected at EU level （while problem of MS coordination will remain）. The new Chinese leadership will inscribe itself into foreign policy continuity in the next few years, XI Jin-ping and LI Ke-qiang, have already been part of the previous leadership generation. Their likely pragmatic focused on economic issues in the relationship is in line with pressing need for domestic reform. Externally, leadership attention will remain on the US and the situation in Asia where the EU will remain unlikely to be seen as a key player. Managing issues and the political and bureaucratic processes has been the mainstay of the EU-China relationship, making it rather consistent and predictable.

People's Bank of China Unveils Interest Rate Policy Reform

China’s central bank has unveiled its market-oriented proposals on interest rate policies. The People’s Bank of China said that China’s interest rate market reform would give priority to foreign currencies, rather than the Chinese currency. That means the day when the fluctuation of interest rates of foreign currencies will be liberalized would come before the floating of the Renmenbi rate.

Impacts of Two Tax Reforms on Inequality and Welfare in China

This paper takes stock of the existing literature on taxation and presents a framework to evaluate the impacts of tax policy reforms from the perspectives of progressivity and social welfare.It applies this framework to examine two tax reforms in China and finds that(i)the abolition of the regressive agricultural tax in 2005 has significantly improved the social welfare of rural residents;(ii)the increase in the income tax thresholds in 2011 increased progressivity but reduced the overall income tax share of total taxation.When the majority of the taxpayers are in the lower tax bracket,progressivity has little real impact in improving income distribution.

China＇s Opening up after 40 Years： Standing at a Historic Turning Point

This paper comprehensively reviews China＇s openness since 1978 from three aspects： trade, foreign investment and global production sharing. We point out that the economic development of China is now standing at a historic turning point. Specifically, economic changes in China are discassed from four dimensions： （i） from China being a world assembly line to a world manufacturing powerhouse; （ii） from China being a world capital receiver to a world investor; （iii） from China being a world factory to a world market; and （iv） from the situation of ＂made in China＂ to ＂innovated in China.＂ At the same time, the global economic system has also reached a turning point. A ＂North America-Europe-Asia ＂ tri-polar system has formed, in which the USA, Germany and China, respectively, serve as the regional core economies.

Bringing Chinese Law in Line with Western Standards?Problematizing“Chinese”and“Western”in the Late Qing Debate over the New Criminal Code of Great Qing

This article examines the intense debates over the New Criminal Code of Great Qing(Da-Qing xin xinglü)in the National Assembly(Zizheng yuan)during the Qing empire’s New Policy Reform(1901–11).The focus is on the conflict between those who drafted and supported the new code and those who expressed reservations,especially over reform of the laws on filial piety and fornication.The issue of reconfiguring the family and social order through law was closely related to the overarching agenda of twentieth century legal reform in China—making an empire that“ruled through the principle of filial piety”into a modern nation-state that had direct relationships with its citizens.More importantly,an analysis of the late Qing debate over family law enables this article to problematize such concepts as“Chinese”and“Western”during this crucial moment of China’s empire-to-nation transformation.It showcases the paradox of China’s modern-era reforms—a contradiction between imposing Western-inspired order with a largely indigenous logic and maintaining existing sociopolitical order in the name of preserving national identity.
