Two issues will be investigated: the targeting accuracyof poor county selection in the 2001 designation and the targeting accuracy of povertyalleviation funds allocated for poor counties and households within the counties. We havemodified the Targeting Count Gap and Targeting Count Error, where the results from themodified TCE indicate a fairly considerable improvement in targeting accuracy in the 2001designation. On the provincial level, we found that one-half of the provinces allocate fundsequally among counties no matter how high their income per capita. We did not find evidencethat poor households obtain more funds than other households.展开更多

Chinas manufacturing industry has played an important role inthis process. Many industries in China have attained a relatively high level of interna-tional competitiveness due to low production costs and low prices. But the competitive-ness of Chinese individual enterprise is still quite weak. In terms of technology, the mostviable path for China to purse is to introduce and digest. OEM will be a convenient andpractical choice for Chinese enterprises to maintain and improve their competitiveness.Chinese enterprises should seize the opportunities of industrial re-location of the multi-nationals and become part of the international labor division system and integrate them-selves into the world production value chain.展开更多

Whether these independent directors could play an effective role has, however,always been a matter for dispute. The recent case of Leshan Power shows that under thelegal framework and share structure which currently exists in China, there is very narrowscope for independent directors to carry out their function. After discussing the main obstaclesto implementation of independent directorship of Chinas listed companies, the authorpoints out several measures that must be taken in order to enhance the effectiveness ofboards of directors. Finally this paper concludes that without the necessary conditions forindependent directors to actually have a functioning role to play, invitation of independentdirectors by listed companies will be a matter of form only.展开更多

Themain conclusions are:(1)with tradeand investment liberalization after China’s WTO accession, competitive advantages of transnational corporations haveplayed an activerole. Underthis circumstance, indigenous firmsdepend heavily upon multinationalcorporations byestablishing jointventuresand introducing new models.

(3) Under pressure from the competitive advantages ofthe dominantmultinationalcorporations, infantindustries and enterprisesof developing countries need, fortheirdevelopment, more supportfrom local government. In addition, one of the key factors in the future development of China’s car industry is the establishment of an interactive learning relationship between indigenous firms and multinationalcorporations.展开更多
