  • ?Version=Chinese Newsart for 中国的梦想世界

    中国的梦想世界

    发自加利福尼亚克莱尔蒙特——几乎所有国家(不管是民主还是专制政体)的统治精英都认为漂亮的口号能鼓舞民众并使其权力合法化。当然,这其中有着关键性的差别。在实行民主制的国家,政府领导人要为其承诺负责:媒体可以仔细考究其政策,在野党会主动揭发执政党的谎言和骗局。因此,在位者常常会被迫兑…

    中国国家资产负债表到底有没有风险?

    北京 – 近期三份有关中国国家资负债表的研究报告引发人们的高度关注。三份报告(德意志银行、中行、社科院)从不同的角度测算了国家资产负债,但三者所得出的结论却分歧较大。我们到底该如何看待中国庞大的“正净资产”,又该如何评估中国的债务风险?回顾全球债务危机的历史,在过去200多年时间…

    不再支持朝鲜的中国

    发自诺丁汉——朝鲜的第三次核试验不仅对美国和日本来说改变了游戏规则,对其仅剩的盟友中国来说也是如此。对朝鲜的最新挑衅中国官方反应极为严厉:中国对核试验“表示强烈不满并坚决反对”,并呼吁重启国际谈判。但这一立场却并未造成任何重大影响,因为中国领导人依然未能意识到:他们已经没必要再继…

  • ?Version=Chinese Newsart for 中国的下一个经济转型靠什么?

    中国的下一个经济转型靠什么?

    北京 – 未来十年中国经济转型之路,到底路在何方?这是几乎所有关心中国经济的人都在思考和关心的问题。从国际国内的宏观大视野看,站在十字路口的中国经济,面临着中长期增速下滑与成本上升,以及内外部双重夹击的多种挑战,中国经济转型已经没有退路,但首要的是,必须找准转型的方向和路径。当前…

    中国的政权变更?

    加利福尼亚州克莱蒙特——针对中国共产党刚刚完成的领导层过渡,该问的问题是整个精心设计的动作是否类似于泰坦尼克号躺椅的重新分配。在中共统治结束可以预见并且极有可能的情况下,新领导班子的上任也许没有什么意义。很多观察家可能认为这种说法耸人听闻。他们坚称中共从1989年的天安门危机和1…

  • ?Version=Chinese Newsart for 习近平眼中的世界

    习近平眼中的世界

    北京——11月16日结束的中共第18次党代表大会产生了新中国历史上第五代领导人,习近平出任中共总书记和中央军委主席,明年3月他还讲出任中国国家主席。这位新任的中国最高领导人将如何领导中国的国内建设和改革进程,如何规划和实施中国的外交关系,等待着这位中国新领导人肯定不只是荣誉、权力…

  • ?Version=Chinese Newsart for 中国的“波旁王朝”动乱时代

    中国的“波旁王朝”动乱时代

    发自加利福尼亚克莱尔蒙特——有时候一国高层领导所看的书目可以揭示出他们的许多所思所想。而即将进入中共中央政治局常务委员会(中国的最高决策机构)的一些官员最近在看的一本书或许会让人有些吃惊:亚力西斯·托克维尔(Alexis de Tocqueville)的《旧制度与大革命》。这些领…

  • ?Version=Chinese Newsart for 对香港的再教育

    对香港的再教育

    发自香港——上任还不到100天,香港新一任行政长官梁振英就成为了政治焦点,更以前所未有的速度丧失了原本精明强干,诚实可信及铁腕领袖的形象。梁振英上任还不到两周就有一名内阁官员因贪污被捕。另外一名内阁官员则被发现曾是一所非法笼屋的无良房东——他把一切责任都推给自己的妻子并矢口否认参…

  • ?Version=Chinese Newsart for 民族主义的岛屿

    民族主义的岛屿

    发自北京——如果中日两国最近在中国东海受争议岛屿上的紧张态势有任何指示性意义的话,只能说尽管这两个世界第二大和第三大经济体的相互贸易和投资额都不断上升,但双边关系在未来一段时间内都难有和谐。这是因为两国近期争相对这些岛屿——日本称尖阁列岛而中国称为钓鱼岛——宣示主权的行为都反映出…

China World

Can China’s boom continue indefinitely? Which concepts and principles shape Chinese foreign policy? How can China’s avoid a looming demographic nightmare? Will China seek hegemony in Asia, or will it participate in shaping a balanced regional order?

As China continues its rise, its impact is being felt everywhere, with its economy a major factor in world trade and its modernized People’s Liberation Army a source of mounting concern to its neighbors. China’s appetite for cars, computers, and other goods promises to spawn both the world’s biggest market, and to endanger the global environment.

The mystery of China – its millennia of history, its multifaceted society, its political uncertainties – is proverbial. How do its traditional values influence its current behavior? Are mainland China and Taiwan headed for greater antagonism or eventual re-unification? Will Hong Kong remain a vibrant and independent entity within China, or will the nation’s vast bureaucracy strangle the city’s dynamism?

And what about China beyond its borders? Singapore is also a “Chinese” state, and the vast Chinese diaspora throughout Asia and America is a growing cultural, economic, and political force in its own right. How important is that force for China’s economic success?

As the world increasingly engages with China, Project Syndicate helps your readers understand the country like no one else. Every month in China World, readers hear directly from China’s most influential voices.  Past commentators have included Pan Yue, Vice-Minister of the State Environmental Protection Administration; leading foreign policy strategists Yan Xuetong and Zhu Feng;, and Yao Yang  and Yiping Huang, two of China’s leading reform-minded economists. Leading regime opponents, including Zhang Wei, a former adviser to Deng Xiaoping and the dissident novelist Ma Jian also contribute.
