  10. Flying geese paradigm - Kaname Akamatsu The paradigm postulated that Asian nations will catch up with the West as a part of a regional hierarchy where the production of commoditized goods would continuously move from the more advanced countries to the less advanced ones. The underdeveloped nations in the region could be considered to be “aligned successively behind the advanced industrial nations in the order of their different stages of growth in a wild-geese-flying pattern” [1] . The lead goose in this pattern is Japan itself, the second-tier of nations consisted of the New Industrializing Economies ( South Korea , Republic of China , Singapore and Hong Kong ). After these two groups come the main ASEAN countries: Philippines , Indonesia , Thailand and Malaysia . Finally the least developed major nations in the region: China , Vietnam etc. make up the rear guard in the formation.
  11. Phase 1: Factory to the World
  12. The attractiveness of its domestic market provides China with tremendous bargaining power, a trump card that was unavailable to Japan and South Korea before it. The lure of its domestic market enables China to require technology transfer as a condition for foreign investor entry, wringing unprecedented concessions. In the automotive industry, foreign firms such as General Motors agreed to establish research and development centers at a scope never before contemplated in a developing market. Not only did these manufacturers agree to transfer technology that is arguably close to their core capabilities, but they consented to do so in an environment with virtually no protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) and in parallel alliances never before seen: China is the only country in the world where domestic automotive makers maintain equity ventures with competing foreign partners, which makes it possible to learn "best practices" from both and end up with potentially more knowledge than either foreign party. The aim is to produce Chinese multinationals that will hold their own in a global economy and replicate the success of Toyota, Sony, and Samsung, but in a shorter time frame.
  13. Unlike Japan and Korea, China will not let go of the labor-intensive segment as it moves up the ladder. Instead, it will leverage its dominance in labor-intensive and mid-technology industries to fund a major push into knowledge-intensive areas that will drive the future world economy.
  14. 1) increase Chinese Direct Foreign Investment (FDI); (2) pursue product diversification ; (3) improve the level and quality of the projects; (4) expand financial channels with respect to the national market; (5) promote brand recognition of Chinese companies in EU and US markets. Huge export volumes have funded massive infrastructure development and earned vast forex reserves. China’s aspirations extend beyond ‘made in China’ (both at a state and a state-sanctioned corporate/individual level)

  22. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-08/01/content_11806998.htm Human flesh search engines" are a unique Chinese characteristic, whereupon a tip (such as a photo) is offered and the sum total of Chinese netizens is mobilized to track down all details.  Whereas the inhuman Internet search engines are based solely upon keywords, the "human flesh search engines" can capitalize  on the local knowledge that is possessed by the masses.   At issue is the following photo that allegedly show Chinese soldiers being issued Tibetan monk garbs and then promptly sent out to commit mayhem on March 14, 2008 in order to discredit the non-violent tenets of the Dalai Lama.  At the March 29, 2008 press conference, the Dalai Lama said that "Chinese soldiers posing as Tibetan lamas triggered a riot."  While the Dalai Lama did not produce any evidence, it was assumed by everyone that he had this photo in mind. When this photo was handed off to the human flesh search engines, what did they find?  Here are the empirical facts that they uncovered:   (1) The individuals in the photo are not Chinese military soldiers (i.e. members of the People's Liberation Army).  Rather, their uniforms identify them as members of the Chinese armed police force.    (2) On January 1, 2005, the armed police force was issued new uniform regulations that included shoulder patches (see bottom right-hand corner photo below).  Since the armed policemen in the original photo did not have shoulder patches, that photo was dated before January 1, 2005.   (3) Before October 13, 2004, the tricycle cabs in Lhasa were multi-colorered without restrictions (such as the blue top as shown in the original photo).  As of October 13, 2004, all tricycle cabs in Lhasa are required to have the standardized green, red, blue and yellow colors.  Therefore, this photo was dated before October 13, 2004. Liu Pengbo is an assistant instructor of an armed police squadron in Lhasa.  He said: "I am the officer in this photo.  This photo was taken in mid-September 2001.  We were extra actors on the set of the movie The Touch.  In this photo, we had just been issued our costumes.  At the time, we wore the 1987-style cloth-material uniforms.  As of May 1, 2006, we have new imitation-cotton uniforms.  Back then, we did not have chest lapels.  We now have chest lapels as well as shoulder badges. Shao Hong retired from the armed police in December 2004 and he is now working in Lhasa.  He said: "In September 2001, we were filming The Touch.  At the time, it was relatively hot and so we wore our 1987-issue summer uniforms.  The crowd around us also wore thin clothes.
  23. there are some rough rules can be applied. 1. use special symbols or japanese kana that look like the characters being replaced. 2. split the characters into components: 的 -> 白勺 , 强 -> 弓虽 . 3. replace the original character with a more complex one, but the original one is a component in the latter one. 我 -> 硪 it is possible that there are more than 1 character can be used to replace the original one, so one character may have variation in the martian. if you are familiar with the frequently used characters and have a large vocabulary, the redundant components could be filtered by yourself "automatically". 4. use pinyin and then replace the letters by symbols. 5. a mixture of 4 rules above.
  24. 38 million QQ subscribers have paid to ‘dress’ their avatars China’s Ministry of Commerce has released its first regulation of virtual currency. The law explicitly bans the use of virtual money to buy real-world goods or services , and restricts minors from buying any virtual currency, including popular pre-paid gaming cards.  The crackdown comes as China tries to grapple with growing issues of online gambling, underground trading and “virtual money laundering,” according to China View . It’s also aimed at curbing the volume of conversions between virtual and real money; analyst Cui Ran told China View that if left unchecked, fluctuations in China’s billion-dollar virtual goods market could eventually have a negative impact on the country’s real economy.

  26. Alibaba.com as of 31 March 2009 had more than 40 million registered users and 5 million virtual storefronts, and reaches buyers and sellers in more than 240 countries and territories
  27. "China is a high growth market, with strong ambitions to assert its brand credentials. The cultural differences are significant and it's not for the fainthearted. However, by working together with UK Government, the Chinese Embassy and seasoned experts on doing business in China, we feel confident that we can help agencies scope out the real opportunity and open doors to fruitful contacts.“ Janet Hull, IPA Consultant Head of Marketing IPA has developed a 'China Club' that will run from October to familiarise agencies with business development opportunities in China. It will offer members the opportunity to meet Chinese brand owners already in the UK market, other member agencies with Asian market experience, and brand consultancies already prolific in Asia culminating in a trade mission to Shanghai and a world expo in May 2010. This is the beginning of a long-term export and inward investment initiative which may go on to cover other emerging markets.
