The various resistant movements that took place in Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong in recent years showed that the Chinese government is facing severe regional governance crises. Despite the central government in Beijing exercising strict economic controls over those regions and implementing powerful stability maintenance measures there, the three places became increasingly unstable. Why? This is decided by the characteristics of and the way totalitarianism works.

Source article in Chinese: 南辕北辙的中国外资政策
Given that international capitals have yet to find an investment alternative to China, the country's policy toward foreign investment is a matter to which people pay close attention. On September 10, at the World Economic Forum held in Tianjin, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang delivered a speech pledging that China would further open its door to foreign investment:—

China's economy hit by anti-corruption drive?
By He Qinglian on August 28, 2014
Source article in Chinese: 中国经济下滑并非缘于反腐
China's economy is in the process of going downward, the HSBC Flash PMI for August slipped to 50.3, lower than the final value of 51.7 in July. What is rather odd though, is the explanations for this that people came up with. The Wall Street Journal for instance, published a number of reports such as “China's Top Graft Buster, Wang Qishan, Probing Thousands—Anti-Corruption Drive Headed by a Heavy-Handed Communist Party Loyalist” citing analyses made by investment bank economists that heavy-handed anti-corruption campaign would cost 0.6% to 1.5% in China's GDP growth this year.

Beijing's campaign to clamp down on corruption: effects and limitations
By He Qinglian on July 7, 2014
Source article in Chinese: 何清涟:北京反腐的影响及其“瓶颈”
It's been a year after Xi Jiping and Wang Qishan launched an anti-corruption campaign, the results are impressive. So far, more than 30 officials of provincial, ministerial, or higher levels have been punished, exceeding the total number of officials removed from office during the decade of the Hu-Wen era.
However, this anti-corruption campaign encounters far more troubles than any such campaigns in the past.
