Replication Data for: The regional consequences of authoritarian power-sharing: Politburo representation and fiscal redistribution in China
No full textMuch political economy research examines how higher-level political representation of the constituent jurisdictions affects resource redistribution among the lower-level units in democracies, but little work has probed the redistributive consequences of regional political representation under dictatorship. This study investigates the effect of membership for provincial officials in the Politburo of the single-ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on fiscal resource flows between the central government and provincial governments in reform-era China. I find robust evidence that the provinces overseen by CCP Politburo members tended to remit more budgetary revenues to the center but did not receive larger central budgetary subsidies. This is consistent with a territorial logic of authoritarian power-sharing in single-party states, which suggests that the regionally selective presence at a collective ruling-party decision-making forum for subnational officials aims at tighter political control to help induce greater policy compliance from below

No full textEconomic Openness and Territorial Politics in China
No full textWhy and how has the Chinese central government so far managed to fend off the centrifugal forces under rising globalization that are predicted to undermine national-level political authority everywhere? When institutionally empowered by centralized governing political parties as in China, national politicians confronting the menace of economic openness will resort to exercising tighter political control over the subnational governments of the 'winner' regions in the global markets. Although its goal is to facilitate revenue extraction, redress domestic economic disparity, and prolong the rule of national leaders, regionally targeted central political control could engender mixed economic consequences. Sheng examines the political response of the Chinese central government, via the ruling Chinese Communist Party, to the territorial challenges of the country's embrace of the world markets, and the impact of the regionally selective exercise of political control on central fiscal extraction and provincial economic growth during the 1978–2005 period.</jats:p

"Yi zhuan" "sheng sheng" si xiang yan jiu =: On the Idea of shengsheng in the commentaries of Yi
No full textPh.D.The thesis aims to investigate the idea of Shengsheng (continuous creation) in the Commentaries of Yi and its development in the history of Confucian philosophy. The investigation consists of four parts. The first part starts by discussing the literal meaning of the character Sheng in the oracle bone script and the Chinese bronze inscriptions. It then examines the idea of Shengsheng in the ancient Chinese classics, especially its textual context in the Commentaries of Yi . Accordingly, we will answer the following questions one by one: What is Shengsheng ? How can it actualize? How is the idea adopted by other Pre Qin thoughts? The second part focuses on the understanding of the idea in Han Confucianism. It takes Zhouyi Qianzhaodu and the Zheng Xuan interpretation as illustrative examples. Here we see how another idea Qi has been introduced to interpret Sheng sheng as the origin and process of actualization in both the natural world and human community. The third part moves to the development of the idea in Northern Song Confucianism and explores how the Confucian scholars at that time further elaborated the idea as an essential of moral metaphysics. The final part studies the thought of Xiong Shili to show how Xiong draws from Buddhism and Confucian philosophy to develop a critical inquiry into the idea and hence argues its modern relevance.本文以《易傳》「生生」觀念為研究對象。全文分為四部分，第一部分由考察甲骨、金文中「生」字之原義開始，依次分析並討論了早期文獻中所見之「生生」觀念及《易傳》所論「生生」之本義，包括何為《易傳》所論之「生生」，據《易傳》之說 ，「 生生」將何以實現，以及《易傳》「生生」觀念與先秦諸子思想之關係。第二部分通過以《周易乾鑿度》為切入點，考察了經學時代下學者們對《易傳》「生生」觀念的最有代表性的若干理解，包括據《乾鑿度》之理解 ，「 生生」當如何實現於天地萬物及人類社會之中，以及鄭康成所作之《乾鑿度注》之中包含的對「生生」 所以實現之根本與歷程的另一種思考。第三部分通過將北宋五子的詮釋作為典範，考察了理學思維下《易傳》「生生」觀念之詮釋理論的一般理論框架，包括理學思維下的「生生」之本質及「生生」之道德義之豁顯。第四部分則通過將熊十力《新唯識論（語體文本）》中關於《易傳》「生生」觀之詮釋作為代表，考察了現代哲學視域下的《易傳》「生生」觀念。竇晨光."2019年8月".Parallel title from added title page.Thesis Ph.D. Chinese University of Hong Kong 2019.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 334-340).Abstracts in Chinese and English.Title from PDF title page (viewed on February 23, 2022).Dou Chenguang
A Study of Chin Sheng-Tan\ue2s Hermeneutics on Du Fu's Poetics
No full textThe thesis mainly discusses the hermeneutic system on Du Fu\ue2s poetics, which was established after close analysis of Du Fu\ue2s poetry by a literary critic Chin Sheng-Tang (the end of the Ming and beginning of the Qing dynasties).Among all Tang poets Chin Sheng-Tang admired Du Fu the most for his poetics of seven line stanzas, which was viewed by Chin Sheng-Tang as an epitome of high aesthetical value and poetical canon. The critic proposed a method of decompositional analysis for studying Du Fu\ue2s poetry: he saw the interconnection between the title of the poem and it\ue2s content, and then decomposed the poem into small pieces, conducting close reading, so that the poem was seen as having three level structure from bigger to smaller \ue2the level of passages, sentences and characters\ue2.
First, we start with looking at \ue2other interpretation\ue2 from the describing trend of hermeneutics on Du Fu\ue2s poetics prevailing during that period of time, pointing out what was the main opinion of the literary critics, and comparing it with the one of Chin Sheng-Tang\ue2s, and looking at his status among the circles of literary critics.
Then we discuss the Chin Sheng-Tang \ue2s \ue2self interpretation\ue2 , explaining what kind of reader and critic he was. After that we provide the review of poetry reading methods and horizon in literary criticism, explaining how to use the method in literary analysis. After Chin Sheng-Tang\ue2s method of literary criticism becomes clear to us, we look how his caesura method is used to analyze structure of Du Fu\ue2s poetry. Through the caesura analysis we use reader\ue2s, author\ue2s and literary works point of view to find out whether this method is appropriate and whether it can reveal the spirit of that age or is it simply an over-reading. In the end we provide the conclusion about the effectiveness of the hermeneutic system, proposed by Chin Sheng-Tang
Reduced-rank adaptive least bit-error-rate detection in hybrid direct-sequence time-hopping ultrawide bandwidth systems
No full textDesign of high-efficiency low-complexity detection schemes for ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) systems is highly challenging. This contribution proposes a reduced-rank adaptive multiuser detection (MUD) scheme operated in least bit-errorrate (LBER) principles for the hybrid direct-sequence timehopping UWB (DS-TH UWB) systems. The principal component analysis (PCA)-assisted rank-reduction technique is employed to obtain a detection subspace, where the reduced-rank adaptive LBER-MUD is carried out. The reduced-rank adaptive LBERMUD is free from channel estimation and does not require the knowledge about the number of resolvable multipaths as well as the knowledge about the multipaths’ strength. In this contribution, the BER performance of the hybrid DS-TH UWB systems using the proposed detection scheme is investigated, when assuming communications over UWB channels modeled by the Saleh-Valenzuela (S-V) channel model. Our studies and performance results show that, given a reasonable rank of the detection subspace, the reduced-rank adaptive LBER-MUD is capable of efficiently mitigating the multiuser interference (MUI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI), and achieving the diversity gain promised by the UWB systems
