Peter Chan directs this Hong Kong martial arts drama that sees an
incredibly scrupulous detective on the trail of a former criminal
who has attempted to start a new life. Set in 1917, the film finds
Liu Jinxi (Donnie Yen) and his wife Ayu (Wei Tang) living quietly
in a small village. Their sense of tranquillity is disrupted when a
pair of robbers descend on the local store and Liu's intervention
results in their death. Detective Xu Baijiu (Takeshi Kaneshiro), a
man so faithfully attached to the law he values it above human
life, arrives in the village to investigate and is immediately
suspicious of Liu. How could an ordinary villager possess the
skills to overcome two hardened criminals? The assiduous detective
begins an investigation into Liu's past, threatening to uncover his
identity as a retired martial arts expert and lead his many enemies
to his door...
This book examines state-state relations and new forms of state
business relations that have emerged with an increase in China's
foreign direct investments in Malaysia. Focusing on investments in
the industrial sector and through in-depth case studies, this book
adopts a novel framework to analyse these different types of
state-business relations. These new forms of state-business
relations are created from the different modes of negotiations
between different key actors in each of the cases. Diverse outcomes
were found, reflecting the disparate forms of power relationships
and state cohesiveness with unique institutional architectures
formed in each case. The book identifies a major shift in
structural power in these new forms of state-business relations as
China's large multinational state-owned enterprises increasingly
invest in Malaysia. A well-constructed institutional architecture
is needed, not just in Malaysia but for other Southeast Asian
countries, if foreign investments are to be harnessed to promote
effective industrial development.
This book explores how history shapes city development, assesses
the role of government at national and sub-national levels through
case studies of three secondary cities, Quanzhou, Yiwu and Nannin,
and provides a link between city development and
internationalization. In doing so, the book highlights alternative
paths to development and internationalization that have received
little attention in mainstream discussions. The case studies in the
book provide insights into the development and internationalization
of cities, linking them to historical, social, institutional and
economic factors-narratives that bridge the two themes of city
development and internationalization. Strong analyses are
accompanied by photographs and charts that allow the reader to
learn about Chinese cities beyond the major urban areas in China,
garner better understanding of the role of the Chinese state, and
appreciate the relevance of "city-specific assets" for city
planning.

This book focuses on the nature and significance of China's state
enterprises which have undergone substantial changes since China's
economic liberalization in 1978. It argues that much of the
criticism is based on mistaken premises, where even the term
'state-owned enterprises' is a misnomer given that the emphasis is
much less on ownership than on control. Using numerous case
studies, this book highlights the extent to which these enterprises
have evolved in response to reforms, and provides an in-depth
analysis of their role in China's outward investment strategy in
the "Belt and Road" initiative. This role speaks to their growing
influence as China expands her global footprint.
