“…The Residents Party Charter calls for the "rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" (fuxing zhonghua minz, 復興中華民族). This is nearly identical to the PRC's slogan of the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" (zhonghua minzu weida fuxing, 中華民族偉大復興,) and the unity of the Chinese nation (Mahoney, 2014;Wang, 2014;Bislev, 2015). The fact that the Residents Party was co-founded by Taiwanese citizens was stressed by Yang Yaping as an indication that the eventual unification was also envisaged by some people in Taiwan (interview, 3 October 2014, Taipei).…”

Viewed as outsiders clinging onto links with their country of origin, immigrants do not often feature positively in electoral politics in their host society. Challenging this conventional view, this article examines how immigrants make use of their transnational ties to foster their political participation in the host state. This exploration is conducted through our study of the political participation of Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants in Taiwan. Our research finds that transnational ties are politicized by the mainstream political parties. However, such politicization does not necessarily restrict immigrants’ agency and their sociopolitical space for political participation. Their transnational ties constitute a dynamic sociopolitical field in which these maintained connections are acted upon and give rise to a variety of strategies for responding to issues affecting their interests.

“…In line with the work of Mahoney (2014), the notion of Chinese Wisdom and Chinese solutions is situates within a historical context in which the narrative of a "Chinese Dream" takes place. The "Chinese Dream" is a framing discourse that keeps a consistent historical narrative while addressing the difficult challenges that arise from development, party unity, and discipline (Mahoney, 2014). Methodologically, rather than following a philosophical or analytical discourse stance, this article borrows from Mahoney's assumptions and suggests a complementary institutionalist approach that considers the endurance of socio-cultural institutions as sources of the idea of Chinese Wisdom and Solutions.…”

This article makes an interpretation, from a historical institutional perspective, of the idea of Chinese wisdom and solutions for global governance introduced in the recent Chinese official discourse. Its main objective is to shed some light on the strength of the cultural values of China's historical institutions to negotiate the universalization of neoliberal values and normative standards. The article organization is as follows. First, it places the Chinese economic model within the concept of Sinicization. Second, it characterizes the continuity of the indigenous elements of that model, emphasizing the informal relational patterns of Chinese culture. Third, it questions the resilience of such values against the predatory effects of neoliberal style modernization and the government's reintroduction of traditional culture narratives. Fourth, it looks at some cases of collaborative local governance; finally, it provides some concluding remarks on the demonstrative role of Chinese historical institutions vis-à-vis the normative meaning of Chinese cultural wisdom and solutions for world governance.

“…Initial ambiguity of the term Bthe Chinese Dream^has caused varying political interpretations of this notion. Joseph Mahoney writes about this considering the Chinese Dream in the context of a wider historical and political discourse that is intrinsic to the Chinese communist party [29]. J. Mahoney presumes that the issue is on how to specify the challenges which Chinese society is to face in economic and especially in political aspects.…”

Advertising studies feature a clearly pronounced interdisciplinary nature and allow us to better understand what cultural basis specific advertising texts are made on. An advertising message is oriented on both rational and emotional-affective processes among the people perceiving the message. Modern Chinese consumers live in a complex social and cultural space. The ideology of the People's Republic of China combines traditional philosophy, socialist ideas, and technological pragmatism. In modern China, advertising costs are skyrocketing (the year-to-year increase is about 100%). Chinese visual advertising images are based on a complex mixture of global and traditional cultural values and embody different aspects of Bthe Great Chinese Dream.^A visual analysis of Chinese advertisements allows us to see what traditional and global values are embodied by advertisers in advertising texts in order to render such advertising messages more effectively. Generally encountered are female images, nature-related images, and images pertaining to the ancient past of China. At the same time, ancient Chinese traditions are subject to globalization. Chinese traditional female images are created in the context of trends of mass culture. Nevertheless, the keynote remains within China's traditional values. All the while, it features no forced separation from the global culture. It is more likely that China harmoniously includes the components considered acceptable within its own worldview.
