| Summary/Abstract |
Globalisation has arguably been the most discussed topic since the 1970s, and the intensity of discussion peaked in 1995 when the World Trade Organization was formed. As the ideal for growth, globalisation was the tide that lifted all boats. China has been held up as a shining example of a beneficiary of globalisation. The China globalisation model, exemplified by Shenzhen, is founded on production for exports, with inflow of foreign direct investment by transnational corporations bringing in technologies and efficient production methods. The authors analyse case studies of secondary cities, namely Quanzhou, Yiwu and Nanning, to illustrate that alternative globalisation models exist. Quanzhou has had a long history of globalisation, the nature of which changed over the centuries. Its globalisation today leverages the history of earlier phases. The Yiwu model is a contrast to the Shenzhen model in that Yiwu's globalisation represented an extension of its role as a wholesale market benefiting the small traders. Nanning is a good example of state-led globalisation. Findings have demonstrated that other models undoubtedly exist, and that city size is not necessarily indicative of the impact of globalisation.

| Summary/Abstract |
The prevailing discourse on the Chinese state and its state enterprises is dominated by the application of Western political and economic concepts to China. These concepts ignore China's cultural and political history in which the state plays a major role and is embedded in Chinese society, as well as the role of numerous reform experiments during China's economic transition from a command to a socialist market economy. As a result, most assessments of Chinese state enterprises are unbalanced. The preoccupation with a state-private dichotomy has also led to the failure of recognising the emergence of a distinct corporate entity
