The authors consider how and by how much China?s stellar economic performance might be impaired by eight potential adversities that China may face in the next decade: unemployment, poverty, and social unrest; corruption; HIV/AIDS and epidemic diseases; water resource problems and pollution; energy consumption and prices; the fragile financial system and state-owned enterprises; curtailed foreign direct investment; and serious military conflicts.

"Challenging China brings together the voices of Chinese reporters, intellectuals, activists, and poets; their moving personal stories, memoirs, analyses, and reportage open a window into the struggle of people in China to speak out, to witness, to demand an accounting from those in power, and to look deeply and honestly at their country's problems."--BOOK JACKET

Les mutations que connaît la Chine doivent-elles faire peur ? Que les Chinois passent de la bicyclette à l'automobile, et c'est le marché mondial de l'industrie et des carburants qui s'en trouve ébranlé. Le gigantisme de cette nation qui figure aujourd'hui parmi les premières puissances mondiales joue un effet d'accélérateur. Pour prendre la juste mesure de ces changements, cet atlas joue avec les échelles et les représentations du territoire. Le plan d'un quartier avec ses ruelles ou le modèle de la ville écologique mettent en évidence le développement urbain contrasté de Shanghai, Hong Kong ou Pékin. Dans un autre bloc d'immeubles, l'implantation des commerces révèle l'émergence d'une classe moyenne et urbaine avec ses valeurs propres, devenue propriétaire de son logement qui découvre les plaisirs du temps libre et aspire à un nouveau mode de vie. Mutations accélérées du développement urbain, mais aussi certainement d'une identité nationale complexe, en proie aux inégalités qui se creusent : éclatement du monde rural, pauvreté et nouveaux riches, modernisation des institutions et autoritarisme, Chine continentale et insulaire avec Hong Kong et Taiwan, minorités et régionalisme avec la question du Tibet, Chine mondialisée avec sa diaspora et son entrée dans le jeu des puissances économiques, énergétiques et militaires. Synthétique et précis, cet atlas est un repère essentiel pour comprendre le nouveau visage de la Chine.

Confronting Discrimination and Inequality in China focuses on the most challenging areas of discrimination and inequality in China, including discrimination faced by HIV/AIDS afflicted individuals, rural populations, migrant workers, women, people with disabilities, and ethnic minorities. The Canadian contributors offer rich regional, national, and international perspectives on how constitutions, laws, policies, and practices, both in Canada and in other parts of the world, battle discrimination and the conflicts that rise out of it. The Chinese contributors include some of the most independent-minded scholars and practitioners in China. Their assessments of the challenges facing China in the areas of discrimination and inequality not only attest to their personal courage and intellectual freedom but also add an important perspective on this emerging superpower.

Every year over 200 million peasants flock to China's urban centers, providing a profusion of cheap labor that helps fuel the country's staggering economic growth. Award-winning journalist Michelle Dammon Loyalka follows the trials and triumphs of eight such migrants-including a vegetable vendor, an itinerant knife sharpener, a free-spirited recycler, and a cash-strapped mother-offering an inside look at the pain, self-sacrifice, and uncertainty underlying China's dramatic national transformation. At the heart of the book lies each person's ability to "eat bitterness"-a term that roughly means to endure hardships, overcome difficulties, and forge ahead. These stories illustrate why China continues to advance, even as the rest of the world remains embroiled in financial turmoil. At the same time, Eating Bitterness demonstrates how dealing with the issues facing this class of people constitutes China's most pressing domestic challenge.
