The Chinese financial sector, despite having been developed at a
much later stage compared with other developed nations, has
achieved substantial progresses over the past decades. By the end
of 2014, a total of 16 commercial banks had been listed on the
stock exchanges, exerting strong impact onto the market indices and
contributing significantly to the country's sustained economic
growth. This book reviews the evolution of the Chinese financial
system, examining the effectiveness of reform strategies made by
the government over the last ten years. The first chapter offers a
comprehensive review of the development of the Chinese banking
sector and the state-owned banks (SOBs). The second chapter focuses
on the efficiency of the Chinese banking sector. Employing data
envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA),
the author tests the change of efficiency within the Chinese
banking sector over the past decade. It also looks at the strategy
adopted by the Chinese government as the final attempt in reforming
its troublesome SOBs and the effectiveness of such a reform
strategy. The next chapter examines the corporate governance
practise of the Chinese commercial banks, and the author follows by
investigating the effect of the 2007 US credit crunch on Chinese
banks and the country's wider economy. Other chapters survey the
influence of foreign entry to the Chinese domestic banking sector,
and the development of shadow banking in China. The author
concludes by discussing the role of the central bank, namely the
People's Bank of China (PBOC), and its role in implementing
effective policies to promote economic growth.
Muslim minorities in China and India form only a small fraction of
their respective populations, yet as they principally live in
troubled border states, they are of key strategic importance in the
war on terror. In this global context, this book explores whether
economics is more important than the suppression of rights in
explaining social unrest.
This book delivers a course module for advanced undergraduates,
postgraduates and researchers of electronics, computing science,
medical imaging, or wherever the study of identification and
classification of objects by electronics-driven image processing
and pattern recognition is relevant. Object analysis first uses
image processing to detect objects and extract their features, then
identifies and classifies them by pattern recognition. Its manifold
applications include recognition of objects in satellite images
which enable discrimination between different objects, such as
fishing boats, merchant ships or warships; machine spare parts e.g.
screws, nuts etc. (engineering); detection of cancers, ulcers,
tumours and so on (medicine); and recognition of soil particles of
different types (agriculture or soil mechanics in civil
engineering).
