Mighty Opposites: From Dichotomies to Differences in the Comparative Study of China by Zhang Longxi, ISBN 0804734712
This book transcends the boundaries of Chinese studies and scholarship on Western literature and critical theory, bringing together the two fields in a way that questions both the application of Western theory to Chinese materials and the resistance to theory in sinological scholarship. Recognizing that social and historical reality is external to discourse and that knowledge has an inevitable ethical import, the author argues for the importance of reality and lived experience in understanding a culture as well as the moral responsibility of such understanding.
The book examines the discrepancies between various Western representations of China and the reality of China; inquires into the cultural, historical, and political contexts within which such discrepancies arise; and points out the distortion of reality in the tendency toward cultural dichotomies, the tendency to view China as the conceptual opposite of the West.
From a comparison of biblical exegesis and commentaries on the Confucian classics to the contemporary assimilation of Western critical theories in China, this book discusses a wide range of topics that situates the understanding of China and Chinese literature and culture in the broad perspective of East-West comparative studies. It studies not only the Confucian tradition, modern Chinese literature, and the students' movement for democracy in China, but also such Western topics as Origen and biblical interpretation, Montaigne and cultural critique, Jameson and postmodern theory, and the reception of Said's Orientalism in China.

The Making of the State Enterprise System in Modern China: The Dynamics of Institutional Change
When, how, and why did the state enterprise system of modern China take shape? The conventional argument is that China borrowed its economic system and development strategy wholesale from the Soviet Union in the 1950s. In an important new interpretation, Bian shows instead that the basic institutional arrangement of state-owned enterprise--bureaucratic governance, management and incentive mechanisms, and the provision of social services and welfare--developed in China during the war years 1937-1945.

The China Challenge: Standing Strong Against the Military, Economic, and Political Threats That Imperil America
The People's Republic of China has emerged as a significant regional superpower. At best, China will be an economic challenge to the United States; at worst, the PRC will be a very real national security threat. Dillon persuasively argues that a Cold War mentality cannot work against China. The U.S. must instead end its appeasement of China and craft an ambitious new geostrategic plan.

But while transporting back, a mysterious creature appears in the matter stream and touches Barclay's arm.
Back on the Enterprise, fear turns to terror when his arm begins to radiate light. Meanwhile, an autopsy on a Yosemite crew member reveals that his body was invaded by high energy plasma life forms. It appears Barclay's body is being invaded by the same creatures. To survive, he must conquer his fears and re-enter the realm of the matter stream.
