Based on over 300 in-depth interviews with company executives, business association representatives, and government officials, this study identifies a wide range of national economic policies influenced by lobbying, including taxes, technical standards, and intellectual property rights. These findings have significant implications for how we think about Chinese politics and economics, as well as government-business relations in general.

This book offers a series of original arguments on the relationships that Western interest groups have with the Chinese state. It details their lobbying strategies and the leverage it gives them in policy-making in China's political system. Analysis is provided in a comparative context. The author offers inside knowledge on Western business and analyses the nature of business-government relations on domestic Chinese innovation policies. Identifying and analysing the conceptual difference between Chinese and Western actors in their relationship to the state, this book demonstrates how China's existing mechanisms for monitoring activities of Chinese interest groups are ill-suited to exerting a similar degree of control over Western actors.

What are the secrets of lobbying in China? How do companies influence technology standards in the building energy efficiency industry? More than 250 qualitative interviews with representatives of the industry, academia and the party state were conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou between 2013 and 2015. As a result, the author has analysed business lobbying in four distinctive and exciting case studies and designed a research model to reliably measure lobbying influence and success by assessing the usefulness of lobbying targets, strategies and resources that were chosen by the industry. Therefore, this book closes an important gap in research into lobbying by focusing on influence rather than only on participation. It shows the ingredients for business lobbying but also the key determinants in assessing lobbying success. Some of the study's findings allow conclusions about the influence of business lobbying in similar knowledge-intensive sectors and about the decision-making processes of the Chinese party state.

While Americans are generally aware of China's ambitions as a global economic and military superpower, few understand just how deeply and assertively that country has already sought to influence American society. As the authors of this volume write, it is time for a wake-up call. In documenting the extent of Beijing's expanding influence operations inside the United States, they aim to raise awareness of China's efforts to penetrate and sway a range of American institutions: state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, media, and businesses. And they highlight other aspects of the propagandistic “discourse war” waged by the Chinese government and Communist Party leaders that are less expected and more alarming, such as their view of Chinese Americans as members of a worldwide Chinese diaspora that owes undefined allegiance to the so-called Motherland.Featuring ideas and policy proposals from leading China specialists, China's Influence and American Interests argues that a successful future relationship requires a rebalancing toward greater transparency, reciprocity, and fairness. Throughout, the authors also strongly state the importance of avoiding casting aspersions on Chinese and on Chinese Americans, who constitute a vital portion of American society. But if the United States is to fare well in this increasingly adversarial relationship with China, Americans must have a far better sense of that country's ambitions and methods than they do now.

China has attracted the attention of numerous companies as the second largest market in the world. With an authoritarian political system and socialist market economy, the Chinese government practices strong intervention on business operations. At the same time, China's ongoing structural transformation that fosters its economic reforms places increasing influence of business, both domestic and foreign, on national policy. These both force firms to pay greater attention to their relationships with the Chinese government - at all levels. In this timely work, Yi-Ru Regina Chen examines how 25 multinational corporations (MNCs) in China implement government affairs activities as a managerial strategy for achieving competitive advantage from an integrated perspective of public relations and political economy. The work documents the MNCs' strategies, tools, and organizing for government affairs activities, roles of government affairs managers, and factors shaping their management. These findings have significant implications for the conceptualization of corporate lobbying/public affairs and government relations in China's political economy. This book is addressed to students and academics in public relations, business and management, communication, public affairs, and policy, as well as CEOs, association executives, lobbyists, business managers, and government officials.
