Abstract
This is a position paper responding to Harry Harding's 1995 criticism of claims to a 'Greater China' which he explains to be an old and very questionable model. It follows with an outline of W. H. Overholt's very pro capitalist American analysis of the same development towards much assumption of the PRC capitalism and democracy and the automatic interest and unity of diverse overseas Chinese groups.
From the Paper
"Harry Harding's article, "The Concept of Greater China", points out several defects in this model, as well as informing the reader that such predictions have been made, in the past, due to an incomplete assessment of various factors. (1993) Economic reform in Mainland China, altered communications, or the rising visibility of Chinese communities, around the world, do not imply that the mythical concept of dazhonghua will be realized in the 21st century. As Harding correctly points out, the peoples that others refer to as "Chinese" share linguistic and cultural features and are from groups having left the Chinese mainland, at different points, through several centuries."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the contradictory focuses within the emerging community known as 'Greater China.'

Abstract
This paper discusses the possibility of Greater China becoming a reality. It looks at three articles that examine the issue of Greater China and argues that a Greater China will likely develop and how it is the integration of economies and not political systems that will make it possible.
From the Paper
'"Greater China is a phrase that is being used more and more often. However, when you ask most people to define the concept of "Greater China" they will be unable to provide an answer. This makes the concept of "Greater China" a very poorly defined concept. This lack of definition means that different people are talking about different things when they are talking about Greater China. This essay will compare three works dealing with the concept of Greater China. These articles as The Concept of "Greater China" by Harry Harding, The Rise of China by William Overholt and The Worldwide Web of Chinese Business by John Kao. "

Abstract
This paper examines the phenomenon of the emergence of "Greater China". It looks at the views of three authors, Harding, Overholt and Kao as well as the political constraints and problems that may be primary limiting factors to the deeper integration of the "Greater China."
From the Paper
"This essay attempts to define and to examine the main characteristics and dimensions of the "Greater China" in terms of its economic, cultural and political dimensions. It looks at the casual factors shaping "Greater China" and the possible future form of "Greater China". The views of three authors, Harding, Overholt and Kao are used in this examination and compared. Finally, this essay attempts to answer the following question: will political constraints and problems be the primary limiting factors to the deeper integration that is being driven by cultural globalization and economic independence? The term "Greater China" is difficult to define, although it has existed for a long time in history. "

Greater China, 2002.
A look at the integration of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the Greater China region in terms of their trade relations and policies.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will try to narrow the focus down to economics, even though this is probably impossible. It will look at the integration of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the Greater China region in terms of their trade relations and policies and ideologies towards trade. By the end of the paper it will be clear that there is very little consistency between the policies of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland. This is a multi-speed region in terms of economic development, trade outlook, and growth prospects. In the end, it is impossible to escape the conclusion that the term Greater China is dysfunctional, even when looked at as a trade area.

Abstract
This paper examines how the increasing prominence of China in the global economy during the last decades of the 20th century has been a story of remarkable growth and achievement.

Mao and Model of 'Greater China', 2005.
An analysis of two thematic questions concerning China
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 2 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper consists of two thematic questions, the first, discussing Mao's shift in focus after the losses of 1926-1928, towards pragmatism; contrasting opinion of the time as contributed by Meisner and M.C.Wright... the second question, the claim to a budding 'Greater China' as rejected by Harding and others, but asserted to be so by American pro-capitalist analysis. The introduction and concluding remarks emphasize the need for varied opinion on Chinese phenomena, but also, awareness of foreign orientations.
From the Paper
"Two thematic questions discussed in this paper indicate the importance of obtaining varied opinion when trying to understand Chinese developments. A first discussion of what Mao learned from the experiences of 1926-1928, in relation to the opinion of Western scholars is followed by a second discussion of the model of 'Greater China' that some scholars maintain, although it is shown to be very debatable.

Greater China, 2005.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses modern Chinese history. The paper takes a look at the works of Harding, Overholt and Kao. The paper further discusses the economic and cultural changes that have taken place in China.
From the Paper
"Debate over "Greater China" has become increasingly common in recent years. However, the actual concept of Greater China has never been properly defined. Some people talk about it in political terms, others in economic terms, some believe that it is geographic in nature, and a final group believes that cultural factors are vitally important. With all of these definitions of Greater China it has become increasingly difficult to discuss the concept of Greater China. This essay will explore the concept of Greater China in greater detail. It will begin with an examination of the article The Concept of "Greater China" by Harry Harding. "

Abstract
This paper reviews "Understanding China: A Guide to China's Economy, History and Political Structure" by John Bryan Starr. This paper discusses China's ancient culture and its emergence as one of the foremost powers in the modern world. This paper focuses on China's recent admission to the World Trade Organization and as well as its economy which is set to become the largest in the world within the next few years. The writer of this paper examines China's political history and contends that in spite of the country's numerous transformations, the structure of the government is today fundamentally identical with what it was under the later imperial dynasties. Today, there is no emperor at the top, but instead a small committee of the leading members of various political parties who hold much the same position. Although there had been significant changes in China's economy, few political changes transpired. The communists still hold a monopoly of power and although its economic policies scarcely seem to be communist anymore, it does not intend to relax its political grip.
From the Paper
"Starr contends that China remains one of the most self-contained and hence inscrutable countries in the world. It has an ancient culture of major historical importance, and has been emerging as one of the foremost powers of the modern world. It is the third largest country in the world and certainly the most populous, with about one-fifth of the world's total population. Modern communications make it as easy to reach Beijing from London or New York as it is to get to Singapore or Nairobi. Yet China remains little known and poorly understood; few foreigners learn its language or study its history and culture. Although foreign trade and tourism have increased dramatically in the last decade, they are only very slowly leading to any changes in foreign perceptions of China."

USA and China Hostilities, 2008.
This paper addresses the issues of America's trade imbalance with China and China's industrial spying.
1,396 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 46.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses America's trade imbalance with China that is fueled by China's failure to prevent copyright infringement and the sale of counterfeit goods as well as China's artificial currency devaluation. The paper also looks at the issue of Chinese spies stealing industrial secrets from American and European firms. The paper provides suggestions for improvement and argues that America needs to peacefully use their economic position to force China to compete fairly. The paper asserts that America should use legal, diplomatic and media pressure to force China to behave ethically.
From the Paper
"The United States and China have a long history of hostility and distrust. In recent years this hostility has centered on several economic issues. These include America's trade imbalance with China, a deficit fueled in part by a huge Chinese market in pirated American intellectual property and brand name knock-offs. Further, U.S. and European firms claim that Chinese industrial spies have stolen technology for products ranging from computer chips to cruise missiles."

China and its Shifting Foreign Policy, 2002.
An overview of the changing foreign policy of China with a focus on the 1970s and the post Cold War era.

Abstract
This paper will look at China in the international arena, focusing specially on its shifting foreign policy in the 1970s. Of all China's shifts in strategy, it is often argued that this one easily marked as the most important. For, it may have shifted the balance of power in the Cold War era and completely changed the face of international relations. Indeed, it will be shown that, though the shifts in Chinese policy in 1970 were unquestionably significant, taken in the course of the entire post-war era they were not completely unanticipated. In fact, it seems better to say that the quick move to side with the Americans was China's 'trademark' response in an effort to protect its own security interests. This assertion can only be understood with a greater understanding of China's post-war policy behaviour, to which the following section turns.

Doing Business with China, 2006.

Abstract
This paper reviews Burstein and de Keijzer's "Big Dragon China's Future: What it Means for Business, the Economy, and the Global Order" in which both authors predict that by the 2030s China will be the world's largest economy. This paper discusses the various companies that have suffered due to the shifting politics of foreign policy between China being in favor one day and out the next. This paper also details the views of Jeffrey Garten, a writer for "Harvard Business Review" who sees China as enticement for foreign investors, yet stresses caution should be used in developing any business relationship with China. This well-written paper covers several areas regarding China's economy including a U.S. initiative supporting China's membership in the World Trade Organization, expansion of U.S. public-private partnerships to invest and help solve particular problems in China and development of China's policy mutually with U.S. allies. "Big Dragon" profiles many individual Chinese entrepreneurs and others who are bringing a new China into being. This paper also focuses on Zhang Wei, one of China's more successful entrepreneurs, who went from government researcher to heading a company employing 400 in only three years. Despite the differences between practices in China and other countries, many corporations are willing to take a big gamble on China, seeing that their future is dependent on their performance in China.
From the Paper
"Over the course of his history, Zhang has captured the essence of the Chinese business world of "catch-as-catch-can". His corporation has various types of holdings, often-different one from the other. Zhang has bridged the gap across the Pacific with the United States with his position of "master franchise holder in China" of an American company, Fun World. What makes this situation particularly unique is that it is one of the first companies in China "to buy an interest in a U.S. company." At the time Big Dragon was written, Zhang was "negotiating an arrangement that would shift manufacturing of all the equipment for the centers to China." Zhang hopes to take the U.S. company over altogether, including the export of the concept to "other countries and selling the franchisees Chinese-made equipment." Zhang has encountered some problems along the way, problems that are compounded by China's culture and lack of laws, which govern specific business issues. One is that franchisees have stolen the company name and have opened their own centers."

Population Policy in China, 2006.
A look at China's policy on population control and various other Chinese government policies that impinge on human rights and therefore impede greater economic ties between China and the West.

Abstract
This paper discusses population policy in China over the last fifty years with an emphasis on the one child policy instituted in the 1970s that has greatly reduced the growth rate in the population. As China seeks more and more economic ties to the West the policy of reduced family size and at times forced abortions is a public relations problem, much like child labor, prison labor and similar centrally controlled policies that run afoul of human rights.
From the Paper
"Population policies in the People's Republic of China reflect a real concern about population growth and the huge size of the population but are, at the same time, bound with issues of ideology and social control. Certain highly restrictive policies began in the 1970s and were deemed successful at reducing the size of the population, and especially the rural population. As China seeks more and more economic ties to the West, the policy of reduced family size and at times forced abortions is a public relations problem, much like child labor, prison labor, and similar centrally-controlled policies that run afoul of human rights."
