This book provides an in-depth evidence-based analysis on the issue of democracy and good governance, using hundreds of actual examples comparing the Chinese and Western political systems based on theories, structure, processes and performance. The current Chinese political system is designed for wide-based consultation with socialism as their core value whilst avoiding the flaws inherent in the design, process and structure of the Western political model. Despite the democratic nature of Chinese politics that persistently attracts a very high level of citizen satisfaction in each and every public opinion survey when compared to any Western democracy, the Western media has successfully brainwashed the world into believing that the Communist Government in China is an autocratic regime. In reality, Western democracies are in serious trouble, facing an unprecedented level of debt, unemployment, political corruption in the form of political donations, advertising and lobbying, and social dissatisfaction. It is the Western political system that requires urgent reform, or risks a revolution from the 99% -- its people -- in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it is time to have a look at the merits of the Chinese model.

The so-called Tiananmen Square "Massacre" is one of the most misleading events the US government and the Western media have used to demonize the Chinese government each and every year since 1989. There was ample silent evidence in the images produced by the Western media that told the story of a highly restrained and caring Chinese government facing a protest similar to those in the West at various stages of their economic development. However, the West and anti-communist forces had capitalized on the situation in 1989 to fuel the public's anger, intending to overthrow a good government. How the Western media lied about a massacre given the silent evidence that suggests otherwise, and the moral implications of Western powers making use of common pain and dissatisfaction within an economic cycle of a society to justify the overthrowing of governments across the globe are issues that this book is structured to explore.

In order to comply with the requirements on the confidential communications and the information securities for handheld devices in the market, it is necessary for us to introduce the information crypto technology to the embedded devices. The challenge we have to face is to operate the system smoothly under the constraints of low cost, low power consumption, and high efficiency while transmitting the cryptosystem technique into the embedded system platform in mobile devices. In this thesis, we will combine a virtual microprocessor of the verification and AMBA bus to elaborate an embedded system model that is capable of shortening the testing time of the global system and calculating the performance for various types of microprocessors. An AES hardware of power management technology and Chaos key evolved module would be integrated to create an embedded cryptosystem. The results of our experiments would offer a valuable reference for the future planning and evaluation for the consuming electronic product based public and information security system.

In this work, we present a fourth-order cascade-of-integrators feedback Sigma-Delta A/D converter. We use Oversampling and Noise-Shaping techniques to earn a higher resolution than that in the Nyquist-Rate A/D converters. A generic method is presented to make the system stabilized. In order to fix the zeros and poles in the unit circle, we use MATLAB to design the Butterworth high pass filter, and then the coefficients could be obtained. We present a complete design flow to decrease the time of the design. By applying this method, a fourth-order Sigma-Delta A/D converter is implemented by TSMC 0.35 m 2P4M Mixed-Signal Polycide process provided by National Chip Implementation Center. The circuit specification is as follows: the supply voltage is 3.3 V, the sampling rate is 256, the signal bandwidth is 20k Hz, the working frequency is 10.24Meg Hz, an SNR, 75.7dB is attained, and the total power consumption is 20.3 mW.
