This book explores the diplomatic, political, strategic, and ideological cross-currents in the fragile but promising state-to-state relationship between China and India. Set in a geopolitical context ten years after the two Asian neighbours had agreed to fashion a Strategic and Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Prosperity, the analysis is focused on the promise as well as the portents. Looking ahead, the author envisions a sunrise idea of Sino-Indian Smart Zone as a possible post-modern scenario.

At the ripe old age of five, after his second day at school, Richard went missing on his way home. A search party was duly despatched and found him down by the river marshes happily sitting around a bonfire with the local gypsies. This was a scene repeated many times in his life, a little boy who loved adventure and spent most of his life searching for it. When he was only seven, he went on a tour of the Houses of Parliament. Lady Astor, who was quite famous at the time said, "You're not wearing a tie. You must be a little Bolshevik." Richard was a boy soprano. His choir sang in five famous cathedrals and toured the Continent. Unable to drink the water in Belgium, the ten year-old choir boys were served beer instead. He spent his teenage years living through the Blitz in London, where he saw shrapnel falling like rain and V1 flying bombs sailing past his bedroom window. After the war Richard found himself in the Merchant Navy and worked the infamous sea lanes of the China coast where smugglers traded with impunity. His first ship caught on fire not once, but four times. Another ship came under shell fire from the Communist Chinese. There were many strange days at sea and many wild nights on shore. Seedy dives, waterfront brawls, and hilarious happenings. With a fantastic eye for detail, Richard has many a tale to tell including what happens when sailors are captivated by the spell of Tahiti. On his first trip to Australia, a chance meeting with Elaine on board ship at Melbourne's Queen Victoria dock changed his life. After a few more years on the New Guinea run it was time to start life in a new country.

Free Download Science and Civilisation in China: Volume 7, Part 1: Language and Logic By Joseph Needham, Christoph Harbsmeier
1998 | 500 Pages | ISBN: 052157143X | PDF | 92 MB
Science and Civilisation in China, Volume 7 Part 1 is the first book in the final volume of this unique resource. The Chinese culture is the only culture in the world that has developed systematic logical definitions and reflections on its own and on the basis of a non-Indo-European language. Christoph Harbsmeier discusses the basic features of the classical Chinese language that made it a suitable medium for science in ancient China, discussing in detail a wide range of abstract concepts that are crucial for the development of scientific discourse. There is special emphasis on the conceptual history of logical terminology in ancient China, and on traditional Chinese views on their own language. Finally the book provides an overview of the development of logical reflection in ancient China, first in terms of the forms of arguments that were deployed in ancient Chinese texts, and then in terms of ancient Chinese theoretical concerns with logical matters.

Free Download Maria Montt Strabucchi, "Representations of China in Contemporary Latin American Literature (1987-2016) "
English | ISBN: 1837644276 | 2024 | 272 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 16 MB
Representations of China in Latin American Literature (1987-2016) analyses contemporary Latin American novels in which China is the main theme. Using 'China' as a multidimensional term, it explores how the novels both highlight and undermine assumptions about China that have shaped Latin America's understanding of 'China' and shows 'China' to be a kind of literary/imaginary 'third' term which reframes Latin American discourses of alterity. On one level, it argues that these texts play with the way that 'China' stands in as a wandering signifier and as a metonym for Asia, a gesture that essentialises it as an unchanging other. On another level, it argues that the novels' employment of 'China' resists essentialist constructions of identity. 'China' is thus shown to be serving as a concept which allows for criticism of the construction of fetishized otherness and of the exclusion inherent in essentialist discourses of identity.

Inefficient and corrupt, the state sector in China is the source of many of the nation's current ills. However, according to corporate financier and bestselling author Joe Zhang, it is fixable. Even amid the rise of private sector capitalism, the government and public in China have faith in the state sector. And now, contrary to the predictions of many experts in the West, China's state sector is rebounding and on track to expand further. In Party Man, Company Man: Is China's State Capitalism Doomed? Joe Zhang shares his firsthand insights into managing an SOE (State-Owned Enterprise) in China, the reasons why he left the Communist Party, and his predictions on the future of China's successful and growing state sector.
