Qigong (CHEE-GUNG) has swept America as the newest approach to
healing and was on the rise in China until the recent Falun gong
crackdowns. This 2,500-year-old form of traditional Chinese
medicine claims that the human body has channels (meridians)
through which flows a substance known as Qi. While internal Qigong
is essentially a relaxation and meditation technique, external
Qigong is an alleged form of energy radiation emitted from the
fingertips of 'masters.' Practitioners of this form of Qigong claim
that they can heal serious diseases such as hypertension, glaucoma,
asthma, ulcers, and even cancer.This remarkable book, written by a
group of Chinese scientists, discusses the nature and practice of
Qigong and its various manifestations. They give special attention
to the many pseudoscientific claims made for external Qigong and
uncover a good deal of deception practised by charlatans in the
name of medicine. Exposed are such alleged Qigong practices as:
clairvoyance, telepathy, weightlessness, energy discharge,
energy-impregnated language (Qigong prescriptions), and much more.
Written with the assistance of a team of lecturers at the Shanghai
University of Political Science and Law, this book is the leading
reference on Chinese private international law in English. The
chapters systematically cover the whole of Chinese private
international law, not just questions likely to arise in commercial
matters, but also in family, succession, cross-border insolvency,
intellectual property, competition (antitrust), and environmental
disputes. The chapters do not merely cover the traditional conflict
of law areas of jurisdiction, applicable law (choice of law), and
enforcement. They also look into conflict of law questions arising
in arbitration and assess China's involvement in the harmonisation
of private international law globally and regionally within the
Belt and Road Initiative. Similarly to the Japanese and Indonesian
volumes in the Series, this book presents Chinese conflict of laws
through a combination of common and civil law analytical techniques
and perspectives, providing readers worldwide with a more profound
and comprehensive understanding of Chinese private international
law.
