Regulating administrative monopoly is the major task of China's "anti-monopoly law" and the greatest challenge in its enforcement. "Anti-monopoly law" has done a special chapter on administrative monopoly for the first time, which is a significant breakthrough of our country's legislation on the regulation of administrative monopoly. But, after all, "anti-monopoly law" is a new law, and due to the limitations of legislation, there are many system deficiencies, on the regulation of administrative monopoly in China's "Anti-monopoly law", which make it can not fully come into play. So, it is necessary to perfect the measures that can make up for the system deficiencies.

China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...

Canada is a country that likes to think of itself as having a foreign policy driven by the high ideals of liberal internationalism - what I take to be the advance of universally recognized and widely accepted human rights and the creation of effective and legitimate international institutions. An exceptional voice, Evans notes, was Chester Ronning, a Department of External Affairs official and later special envoy in Asia, who constantly urged closer ties, even solidarity, with Maoist China - including supporting its disastrous initiation of the Korean War and releasing a film based on his 1971 visit to the country praising the Cultural Revolution (Ronning 1974).

China has emerged as the most dynamic FDI-host country in the world, and the impact of FDI on the Chinese economy has burgeoned in ways that no one anticipated. This paper focuses on four issues: (a) the factors behind the FDI boom; (b) how China has succeeded in utilizing FDI so far; (c) China's FDI strategy; and (d) its future development. China's special advantages in attracting and using FDI come from three sources: the huge market with cheap labour, the large number of rich overseas Chinese as investors, and the effective FDI strategy and policy implemented by the central government. Whether or not China will be a winner in future depends on how it balances between technology transfers and domestic market protection.

Behind the joint ownership of financial resources is the couple's adherence to the values of family collectivism and relational harmony, and this is so even when the spouses may have kept some "other incomes" in their own pockets. "Whatever the choice [spending] we make, we do it for the best interest of the family" and "We are the family!" are among the common responses from the collectivized couples. A middle-aged businessman said of his wife with gratitude: "My wife is very family orientated. A few years ago, she received a scholarship for graduate studies from a university in the U.S. Worried that I would not be able to take care of myself and our , daughter, she gave up the opportunity.... She has sacrificed so much for our family." His wife (a government official), in a separate i...
