| No. 3 of 2019 (No. 138 [consecutive]) Special Edition: “China: Domestic and Foreign Policies Under the Second-Term Regime of Xi Jinping” |
This special issue extensively examines domestic and foreign policies under the second-term Xi Jinping Leadership from various perspectives. For example, we discuss not only the existing fiscal and monetary policies, institutional reforms and domestic policies but also the basic principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s economic policies, the US-China economic friction and Japan-China relations as new additional subjects. We also refer to the trends in data transaction regulation. |
