Explores the history of Chinese car manufacture, looking at some of the key cars in that journey, the false starts and missed opportunities

Explores the history of Chinese car manufacture, looking at some of the key cars in that journey, the false starts and missed opportunities

Andrews Mark: Driving the Dragon

Driving the Dragon

The Rise of the Chinese Car Industry

In the overwhelming chaos across Asia at the end of the Second World War, one relatively minor issue was the future of the Japanese colony of Taiwan, a large island some one hundred miles off the coast of Fujian. Handed to the Kuomintang-ruled Republic of China, in 1949 it suddenly became the focus of global attention as a random cross-section of defeated Nationalists, including President Chiang Kai-shek, fled there from Mao's triumphant Communist forces. The Struggle for Taiwan is a balanced and convincing account of the sequence of events that has left Taiwan for generations as a political anomaly, with issues around its status and future continuing to threaten war. With deepening democratization, Taiwan further goads Beijing, remaining functionally independent from China even as Xi Jinping clamours for unification. This invaluable book allows readers to understand the complex story of this unique place and its role in international relations. With its striking economic dynamism and commitment to democracy, can Taiwan continue - as Hong Kong once did - to thrive, or will China conquer it? And will the world be able to maintain peace across the Taiwan Strait or will it stumble into war?

"To get rich is glorious," declared Deng Xiaoping, the architect of modern China's economic miracle - but there has been a dark side to this rush to glory and riches, both for the winners and for those who have been left behind.
 
In Everything is Allowed, Nothing is Permitted Robert Foyle Hunwick tells the hidden story of how crime, vice and corruption have flourished in modern China. From the outbreaks of politicized lawlessness in the Mao years, the book charts the flourishing of criminality in the era of opening and reform through to the present day "strike hard" campaigns against corruption under Xi Jinping. There are stories here of business 'fixers', corrupt rural elites, notorious serial killers, spiralling drug use and the flourishing sex trade in China's urban centres. Hunwick looks beyond the official propaganda of a united and peaceful state to reveal a nation that is both built on and existentially threatened by an intricate economy of violence, dark money, power and influence.

Vice, Crime and Corruption in New China

Everything is Allowed, Nothing is Permitted

Demonstrating a wide array of influences-from Chinese calligraphy to Expressionism-Liu Wei's work deals with universal themes of humanity. With a career spanning over thirty years, he has proved a master of rendering human flesh and combining figuration with text and abstraction. Liu Wei's deft grasp of technique and acute awareness of color and composition is evident in his lush landscapes, in which flora and fauna often escape the confines of the canvas and spill out onto the Rococo-style frames. Featuring texts by distinguished specialists in contemporary Chinese art, this first major English-language monograph provides an in-depth look at the historical context and traces his development from his early paintings reflecting disenchantment with political and artistic utopias through the lenses of skepticism and satire, to lush landscapes, striking portraits, and more recent philosophic and contemplative calligraphic works on paper. LIU WEI (*1965, Beijing), studied printmaking at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where he still lives today. He first rose to prominence as a preeminent figure in China's "cynical realism" movement of the 1990s. His paintings have been shown in museum exhibitions and biennials worldwide, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, the Singapore Art Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Venice Biennale.
