The book studies multilateral population security issues and
relevant governance strategies caused by international migration in
the countries impacted by China's Belt and Road initiative and
their border areas. Buttressed by solid data mining and policy
analysis, the title looks into the demographic trends of
international migration in China and some Asian Belt and Road
countries and stresses the urgency for more effective governance
practices. Seeking to address the population security crisis
triggered by the Initiative, the authors propose the idea of
"multilateral population security governance", grounded in the
real-world challenges facing Belt and Road countries while also
drawing on experiences of migration governance in western
countries. As a new governance model, it calls for cross-border
joint action and takes into consideration pertinent factors
including economy, politics, culture, religion and commerce.
Several case studies and comparative studies are offered in the
chapters to illuminate the significance and effect of this
cooperative mechanism. The book will be of interest to researchers
and government officials interested in non-traditional security,
international migration and formal demography as well as topics on
population, resources and environment.
This book is the general report of the targeted poverty alleviation
and elimination project of 100 villages, presenting the overall
progress of poverty alleviation and development of all sample
villages in the tide of poverty alleviation. From 2016 to 2018, the
project selected 104 poor villages (including those out of poverty)
across the country to carry out national research and recorded the
great changes in more than 100 poor villages in recent years with
steps, nib and lens. Based on questionnaire survey data and data
from village research reports, the book describes the basic village
situation, poverty situation, village-level poverty management and
assistance measures, causes of poverty and assistance measures,
progress and results of targeted poverty alleviation in 100 poor
villages across China since 2016.
This Key Concept pivot explores the trajectory of the semantic
generation and evolution of two core concepts of ancient Chinese
Confucianism, 'Zhong' (middle) and 'Zhongyong' (golden mean). In
the pre-Qin period, Confucius advocated 'middle line' and 'golden
mean' as the highest standards for gentlemanly behaviour and
culture. In The Doctrine of the Mean the Confucian classic of the
late Warring States Period, 'middle' obtained the ontological
meaning of 'great fundamental virtues of the world', due to the
influence of Taoism and Yinyang School. It became not only the norm
of human behaviours, but also the law governing the operation of
heaven and earth. Since then, idealist Confucian scholars of the
Song and Ming dynasties have developed the meaning of 'middle' from
the perspective of the relationships between heaven and man, a
fundamental norm of Confucian ethics.
This book provides a general review of the literature on
underground structures, combined with new specifications,
engineering case studies, and numerical simulations based on the
authors' research. It focuses on the basic concepts, theories, and
methods of the design of underground structures. After an
introduction, it covers various topics, such as elastic foundation
beam theory and numerical analysis methods for underground
structures, as well as the design of shallow underground
structures, diaphragm wall structures, shield tunnel structures,
caisson structures, immersed tube structures, and integral tunnel
structures. It also includes tables for calculating elastic
foundation beam. This book is intended for senior undergraduate and
graduate students majoring in urban underground space engineering,
building engineering, highway engineering, railway engineering,
bridge and tunnel engineering, water conservancy and hydropower
engineering.

The control of arsenic pollution has attracted worldwide attention,
as it is one of the top 20 hazardous substances, and greatly
threatens the human health, ecological balance, and industrial
development. Arsenic pollution results from natural enrichment and
anthropological activities, especially mining and smelting
operations. This book introduces arsenic pollution control
technologies for aqueous solution and solid wastes produced by the
utilization of arsenic-containing materials. It systematically
discusses the principles and technologies of arsenic pollution
control based on the author's 16 years of research on arsenic, to
help readers gain an understanding of various aspects of arsenic
pollution control, including the pollution source distribution of
arsenic in typical smelters, arsenic behaviors and pollution
control technologies in aqueous solution and solid waste, and clean
unitization of arsenic-containing materials.
The last half century witnessed a dramatic change in the
geographic, ethnographic, and socioeconomic structure of Asian
American communities. While traditional enclaves were strengthened
by waves of recent immigrants, Asian Americans also created new
urban and suburban communities with or without geographical
boundaries.
Asian America is the first comprehensive look at post-1960s
Asian American communities in the United States and Canada. From
Chinese Americans in Chicagoland to Vietnamese Americans in Orange
County, this multi-disciplinary collection spans a wide comparative
and panoramic scope. Contributors from an array of academic fields
focus on global views of Asian American communities as well as on
territorial and cultural boundaries.
Presenting groundbreaking perspectives, Asian America revises
worn assumptions and examines current challenges Asian American
communities face in the twenty-first century.
Chinese higher education has been through a process of profound
restructuring, decentralisation, introduction of market incentives,
university mergers, internationalisation, and enlarging student
enrolment in the past two decades. Along with the expansion of
Chinese higher education, the issue of quality has become a
concern. Developing quality assurance systems has been given
priority in the agenda of most Chinese higher education
institutions. The study presented in this book is conducted against
the background of the prevailing quality culture, and focuses on
student learning rather than the widely adopted top-down scrutiny
of teaching as the main component of quality assurance schemes. A
learning-focused quality assurance is proposed in this book to
explore how to integrate student learning generically into the
quality assurance process for the continuous improvement of higher
education quality.
The last half century witnessed a dramatic change in the
geographic, ethnographic, and socioeconomic structure of Asian
American communities. While traditional enclaves were strengthened
by waves of recent immigrants, native-born Asian Americans also
created new urban and suburban areas.

This project is an analysis of how Chinese counterfeiting and
cloning affects high tech products. It provides a thick description
of the concepts and context of Intellectual Property (IP)
infringement and cloning in China. The analysis is based on a
theoretical framework consisting of three classic organizational
economics theories Transaction cost economics, Agency theory, and
the Resource based view theory, as well as four strategies for
dealing with Chinese counterfeiters developed by the consulting
firm A.T. Kearney. The purpose is to analyze and predict what would
be the likely outcome if Apple Inc's iPhone product entered the
Chinese market. A four stage causal chain is developed to test the
result. It is concluded that Apple's iPhone product will enter the
Chinese market in 2009 and would be most likely to use an outpacing
strategy which is likely to be successful if contingent factors do
not occur. However the project also finds that numerous contingent
factors are likely to occur due to among other factors Apple's
supply chain. Cloning of the iPhone product by Chinese cloners is
therefore likely to present a serious threat to Apple inc. in the
Chinese market.
