Issues of contemporary art and aesthetics in Chinese context
This book discusses how Chinaâءءs transformations in the last century have shaped its arts and its philosophical aesthetics. For instance, how have political, economic and cultural changes shaped its aesthetic developments? Further, how have its long-standing beliefs and traditions clashed with modernizing desires and forces, and how have these changes materialized in artistic manifestations? In addition to answering these questions, this book also brings Chinese philosophical concepts on aesthetics into dialogue with those of the West, making an important contribution to the fields of art, comparative aesthetics and philosophy.

As she grows up, Lai comes to discern the realities of the country she lives is: an early encounter with the police haunts her for years; her father makes her see that his quietness is a reaction to experiences he has lived through; and an old bookseller subtly introduces her to ideas that open her mind to different perspectives.

Multi-Antenna Synthetic Aperture Radar
This reference presents a complete perspective on recent developments in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signal processing technology, based on the contemporary use of multiple SAR systems, or a single SAR with array instead of single antenna elements. These techniques improve the generation of 3-D images and make possible additional capabilities, such as images of moving targets. The author draws on his own research to present innovative approaches for microwave remote sensing using multiple-antenna SAR. Coverage includes azimuth, elevation, and multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) multi-antenna SAR.

The Huawei Model
In 2019, the United States' trade war with China expanded to
blacklist the Chinese tech titan Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. The
resulting attention showed the information and communications
technology (ICT) firm entwined with China's political-economic
transformation. But the question remained: why does Huawei matter?
Yun Wen uses the Huawei story as a microcosm to understand
China's evolving digital economy and the global rise of the
nation's corporate power. Rejecting the idea of the transnational
corporation as a static institution, she explains Huawei's
formation and restructuring as a historical process replete with
contradictions and complex consequences. She places Huawei within
the international political economic framework to capture the
dynamics of power structure and social relations underlying
corporate China's globalization. As she explores the contradictions
of Huawei's development, she also shows the ICT firm's complicated
interactions with other political-economic forces.
Comprehensive and timely, The Huawei Model offers an
essential analysis of China's dynamic development of digital
economy and the global technology powerhouse at its core.
