This chapter highlights the stories of Chinese migrants who came to the People's Republic of China from Indonesia during the two-decade span of this book. By the late 1960s, at least 164,000 ethnic Chinese had “returned” to their ancestral homeland even though most of them were born and raised in Indonesia. The majority started their lives all over again on the overseas Chinese farms, primarily located in the mountainous regions in the Southern Chinese provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Hainan. However, these repatriated overseas Chinese carried the daily practices of capitalism and transnational investment ties with them. Ironically, their resistance against the socialist state's attempts to incorporate them helped prepare the PRC for its transition to market principles and its opening to international trade. Their tales of hope and disappointment, compromise and perseverance, conclude this story of migration in the time of revolution.

This chapter reflects on the history and organization of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (‘CIETAC’) and the role it plays in the administration of arbitrations under the CIETAC Rules. The CIETAC is organized as an arbitration commission under the Arbitration Law of the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC Arbitration Law’). Its internal rules of governance are set out in the Articles of Association of the CIETAC. The chapter then considers the previous and concurrent names of the CIETAC—including the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (‘CCPIT’) and the China Chamber of International Commerce (‘CCOIC’)—and the rule concerning reference to the CIETAC’s other names in the arbitration agreement. It also discusses the structure and duties of the CIETAC, including: (i) the duties of the Chairman, Vice Chairmen, and the Arbitration Court; (ii) the establishment and organs of sub-commissions/arbitration centres under the CIETAC; and (iii) the allocation of jurisdiction among the CIETAC and its various sub-commissions and/or arbitration centres.

Esta Nota Técnica visa investigar a posição do market share brasileiro ante a dos seus principais concorrentes nas importações da China dos subsetores mais relevantes do agronegócio, visto que produtos agropecuários passaram a ter expressão na relação comercial sino-brasileira. O estudo tem como base o Banco de Dados das Estatísticas do Comércio Internacional das Nações Unidas (United Nations International Trade Statistics Database – Comtrade), a Administração Geral das Alfândegas da República Popular da China (General Administration of Customs People’s Republic of China – GACC), o Departamento de Agricultura dos Estados Unidos (United States Department of Agriculture – USDA) e o Mapa (Agrostat – Estatísticas de Comércio Exterior do Agronegócio Brasileiro). Trata-se de uma análise de dados com abordagem quantitativa, que descreve o market share dos principais países que compõem as importações advindas da China. Para isso, utilizaram-se como recorte dez subsetores do agronegócio selecionados a partir da coleta de dados secundários referentes às importações chinesas e às exportações brasileiras para a China, elencando-os com o apoio do critério de maior valor. Desse modo, foram selecionados os seguintes subsetores: soja em grãos, celulose, açúcar de cana ou beterraba, carne bovina, carne de frango, couros e peles de bovinos ou equídeos, óleo de soja, algodão e produtos têxteis de algodão, fumo não manufaturado e desperdícios de fumo e carne suína.

The Cultural Revolution

This article seeks to explain the transnational development of Maoism in the attempt to legitimise the Cultural Revolution and the 1967 Hong Kong Riots to Britain’s ethnic Chinese populace. Based primarily on a survey of ethnic Chinese in Britain undertaken by the Hong Kong government in 1967, both the British and Hong Kong governments were forced to respond to the transnational expansion of Maoism, transmitted by the People’s Republic of China and embraced by certain members of Britain’s Chinese community who faced inequality and discrimination under British rule. This Maoist agitation in turn forced Britain to commit to the welfare of its Chinese community and foster the idea of a Hong Kong identity that was distinctive from Maoism.

Abstract Official narratives in Singapore have included the crackdown by the ruling People’s Action Party (pap) government under Lee Kuan Yew against the Chinese chauvinists on the city-state’s road to nationhood. From 1959 to 1976, the Lee government believed that Chinese chauvinism came from three sources: a population that was majority ethnic Chinese in Singapore, pro-communist organizations that exploited Chinese chauvinism for their own ends, and individuals or organizations that praised the People’s Republic of China at the expense of Singapore. Using newspaper articles, speeches by government ministers, oral history interviews, and declassified government records held in Singapore and overseas, this article assesses the threat of Chinese chauvinism in Singapore between the years 1959 and 1976. It argues that the Lee government made statements about Chinese chauvinists that were grounded either on truism, or on excoriating individuals, for its own political gain.
