| Summary/Abstract |
There is an apprehension in the democratic world about the possible impact of the economic rise of China on the UN human rights agenda. Although Communist China has embraced capitalism by liberalising its economy, by joining the WTO and by recognising private entrepreneurship and the right to private property, it has not been an enthusiastic partner when it comes to promoting and protecting human rights. China has supported the idea of so-called “Asian values”, or cultural and political relativism, as well as promoting the idea of a “China Model of Democracy”, which seeks to support economic growth at the expense of civil and political rights. This article examines China's approach to human rights both within and outside of the UN and whether China's rise as a major economic power poses a threat or offers an opportunity to the international human rights system led by the UN. In doing so, it considers how China is changing in terms of its approach to the rule of law, democracy and human rights and why it needs to become a willing and enthusiastic player within the UN system to promote and protect human rights. The author concludes that China will not pose a threat to the UN human rights agenda. One way or the other, the only way forward for China is to embrace the rule of law, and this will in turn entail respect for human rights. Thus, there is an opportunity for the UN to introduce human rights law and jurisprudence developed by the UN treaty bodies to the Chinese legal and constitutional system.

| Summary/Abstract |
In September 2008, when Chinese President Hu Jintao got word that Lehman Brothers, then the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, was on the verge of bankruptcy, he was traveling by van along the bumpy roads of Shaanxi Province. Surrounded by policy advisers and members of the Politburo, Hu asked them how China should respond to the inevitable spillover. According to one participant in the discussion, the group reached a clear consensus by the trip’s end: China would need to launch a massive stimulus program. And it could trust only state-owned enterprises (SOEs), rather than private firms, to carry it out.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is clear by now that China’s economy is set to slow in the years to come, although economists disagree about how much and for how long. Last year, the country’s GDP growth rate fell to 7.4 percent, the lowest in almost a quarter century, and many expect that figure to drop further in 2015. Plenty of countries struggle to grow at even this pace, but most don’t have to create hundreds of millions of jobs over the next decade, as China will. So understandably, some experts are skeptical about the country’s prospects.

| Summary/Abstract |
The dramatic increase in China's economic and hence political power and influence is a common story around the world. Just how clearly and well does this story get across to citizens of some nations other than China, itself? In particular, we ask what Americans know about China. Do they observe its rise? Are their views simple or rich and nuanced? How do they vary across the public? What leads to more positive and what leads to more negative views of China? We report the results of a survey of the American population designed to address these questions. We find that they are reasonably knowledgeable of China's rise and that they have rich and nuanced perceptions of a variety of dimensions of China, its society, economy and polity. These views are, on balance, not especially positive, but the more cosmopolitan the citizen, the more likely they are to hold positive views. Those who are Democrats, who are liberals, and who have had the opportunity to travel in China are especially likely to have positive impressions.

| Summary/Abstract |
The only substantial mechanism paving the way towards an amicable solution to the ongoing Tibet issue has been the direct dialogue held between the representative of the Dalai Lama and the representative of the people`s Republic of China (PRC). The Dialogue initially commenced in the year 1979, and the recently held round of talk in 2010 resulted in no agreement or common ground between the two sides. The dialogue was carried forward amid serious doubts and skepticism over China`s true intention towards seeking a feasible solution to the Tibet issue. Recently, two Tibetan envoys who participated in the negotiation with China resigned due to the failure of the germinate any concrete solution, expressing their frustration over the lack of positive response from Beijing amid ongoing exacerbation of the situation in Tibet, simultaneously expressing their helplessness as Beijing was not reciprocation any of the concessions and sacrifices made by their side. However, keeping the hopes alive, the Tibetan government-in-exile, known as the Central Tibetan Administration, signaled that it is ready to engage in a meaningful dialogue, anywhere and at any time.
