Chinese Political Economy
Singapore: Gale Asia, 2020. 142 pp.
In this book, the author focuses on socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics (SPECC) as an approach for understanding the Chinese economic phenomena of the last 40 years. First, he analyzes the nature, features, core problems of, and historical reasons for this approach. He then goes on to examine the theory and practice of the socialist market economy, the relationship between the government and market, the reasons for China’s sustained and rapid economic development, and other issues that define the “Chinese Characteristics.” The author argues that while the reform and opening-up has brought an optimistic outlook to China, it did not happen without a hitch. The book summarizes these very triumphs and perils, tracing the winding course of institutional innovations and leaping developments as China pursues the market economy and seeks the guidance of Marxist political economy.
The New Normal of Chinese Economy
Singapore: Gale Asia, 2020. 158 pp.
The authors of this book first compare the patterns of economic development in China and other countries, and then examine the impact of Chinese reform and government macro measures on the economic growth and the upgrading of industrial structure in China, aiming to explore a development path appropriate to the Chinese economy. On top of this, based on an extensive analysis of macroeconomic data using the theories of political economy, the authors proceed to conduct an in-depth study of China’s macroeconomic growth in the New Normal to tease out its patterns, thus contributing to the theories on economic growth with Chinese characteristics.
China TodaySingapore: Gale Asia, 2020. 278 pp.
Since the late 1970s, China has undergone significant changes. Four decades of reform and opening-up have transformed the country economically, socially, and culturally. China Today traces China’s unique journey toward modernization with a focus on contemporary China after 1949. The book aims to provide an overview of China’s current urban, economic, technological, and cultural landscapes for international readers. The 18 chapters cover a wide range of topics—from ethnic festivals and the education system to e-commerce and scientific innovations—with each chapter well-illustrated with photographs and images, presenting the vibrancy and expansiveness of China’s transformations over the decades. China Today also discusses China’s plans and visions for the future of not only the nation itself, but also the world. As China embarks on a new era of reform and opening-up, it will engage more actively with the world as an increasingly important global player.
China & Global Governance Series: China and Global GovernanceSingapore: Gale Asia, 2019. 224 pp.
In the context of rapid globalization worldwide over the past few decades, China has been trying to gain a louder voice in the international community. In China and Global Governance, He Yafei, a renowned career diplomat, reviews the origin and evolution of the concept of global governance and describes the gradual shift from the present governance by the West, its monopoly of global affairs, to joint governance by East and West, which champions multipolarity. Moreover, the author presents China’s perspectives, means, and goals concerning global governance—advancing the innovative Belt and Road Initiative, striving for global peace and mutual benefits in bilateral and multilateral relations, and building a shared future for mankind.
Why Is China's Reform and Opening-up Successful?Singapore: Gale Asia, 2020. 220 pp.
In April 2018, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that China’s four decades of reform and opening-up have generated many valuable inspirations. “The most important one is that for any country or nation to achieve rejuvenation, they must follow the logic of history and the trend of the times in their pursuit of progress and development.” This book traces the trajectory of modern Chinese history since Deng Xiaoping’s proposal of the Four Cardinal Principles in 1979 to guide the country’s reform and opening-up, and the subsequent advancing of the concept of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. Here, the authors tell the China story of the new era, in which China is participating actively in global governance, upholding win-win cooperation, and building a community of shared future for mankind.
