How the Chinese Communist Party Transformed China into a Giant Corporation

Leveraging its absolute power, low human rights advantage, and tolerance by other countries, the Chinese Communist Party has transformed China into a giant corporation. Living and working are not rights but privileges granted by the party. State-owned firms are business units or subsidiaries, private firms are joint ventures, and foreign firms are franchisees of the party. ‘China, Inc.,’ enjoys the agility of a firm and the vast resources of a state. Meanwhile, foreign firms competing with Chinese firms can find themselves matched against the mighty Chinese state. China, Inc. will interest many readers: it will compel business scholars to rethink state-firm relationships; assist multinational business practitioners in formulating effective strategies; aid policymakers in countering China’s expansion; and inform the public of the massive corporate organization China has become and how democracies can effectively deal with it.

Shaomin Li is Professor and Eminent Scholar at Old Dominion University. His research has appeared in Journal of International Business Studies, Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and The Financial Times. He is author of Bribery and Corruption in Weak Institutional Environments (Cambridge University Press, 2019).

No. 2 of the Committee on Chinese Materials Workshop Series on Digital Projects of Chinese Studies

hosted by the University of Pittsburgh Library System (ULS) & Committee on Chinese Materials (CCM)

In July 2018, the East Asian Library (EAL) of the University of Pittsburgh Library System (ULS) initiated the Contemporary Chinese Village Gazetteer Data (CCVG Data) project to create an open-access online dataset of statistics extracted from Chinese village gazetteers (村志). This unique initiative has produced a dataset of significant value to the humanities and social sciences based on Chinese village gazetteers, which includes quantitative and qualitative data critical to supporting contemporary Chinese studies in fields such as politics, economics, sociology, environmental science, history, and public health.

This workshop will start with a review of village gazetteers published in past decades, the background of initiating the project, followed by a presentation and demonstration on data extraction procedures, data structure, data dictionary, downloading instructions, as well as the user interactive platform, etc. The current stage and the final goal of the project will be discussed as well.

Presented by the CCVG Data Project Team of the East Asian Library, University of Pittsburgh Library System. More information on the ULS at www.library.pitt.edu and CCM, Council of East Asian Libraries at https://www.eastasianlib.org/newsite/ccm/.
