The relations between the Republic of China and the Republic of South Africa, 1948-1998Lin, Song-Huann 02 March 2006 (has links)
To date, no in-depth analysis has been made of the diplomatic relations that existed between the Republic of South Africa (RSA) and the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) from 1976 to 1997. Current scholarly works on relations between the two countries tend to oversimplify the forces that drew the two countries into close association during the said period, and presume that ROC-RSA bilateral relations were merely the result on the mutual pariah status of both states. In addition, several common misconceptions regarding the nature of ROC-RSA relations are recurrent in the existing research. This thesis, therefore, examines the development of ROA-RSA relations and interactions from the eve of the ROC government’s relocation to Taiwan in 1948 to the severance of ROC-RSA diplomatic relations in 1998 against the background of the overall historical circumstances of both countries. This study argues that the factors in the formation of ROC-RSA ties are manifold and a result of the convergence of anti-communist ideologies and common interests. Pariah status and international ostracism are only part of the array of complex factors. Efforts are made to investigate the historical conditions, foreign policy objectives and national interests that helped cement diplomatic relations, as well as the extent of co-operation in the complete spectrum of ROC-RSA relations, including economic and cultural relations, and military and nuclear collaborations. These various aspects are explored in order to give a fuller picture of ROC-RSA tenses and limitations of these relations are analysed. Furthermore, the causes that led to South Africa’s switch of diplomatic recognition to the People’s Republic of China(PRC) and the prospects of future relations between the ROC and the RSA are also studied. / Thesis (DPhil (History))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Historical and Heritage Studies / Unrestricted

An entrepreneurs guide to importing goods into South Africa from the People's Republic of ChinaRibeiro, Phillip Gouveia 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2006. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The political relationship between "The People's Republic of China (PRC) and South
Africa has grown from strength to strength since the end of the apartheid era. As a
result of this cooperation, the importing and exporting between the two have grown
significantly. With the Chinese markets now open to South Africans, manufactured
goods are being imported.
The manufacturing capabilities found in the PRC are very far advanced to those found
in South Africa. As a result, many South African businesses have found that they can
import their product far cheaper than they can buy or manufacture in South Africa,
regardless of the challenges of importing between the two countries i.e. language
barriers, culture differences, geographical location, etc. The last few years has seen
more and more businesses importing from the PRC, which has effectively led to many
business owners looking at the option of importing from the PRC in order to be
competitive.
This research study addresses the reasons and necessity to import manufactured goods
from the PRC to South Africa. It also shows how a business actually goes about
importing from the PRC. In essence, this study is to help the local entrepreneur
become more competitive, by understanding what their competitors mayor may not
be doing. If the competitors are importing themselves, then this will help them to be
competitive. If they are not importing, then this study will give them the opportunity
to get the competitive edge.
In conclusion and in summary, importing goods from the PRC to South Africa can
have a positive impact on the competitiveness of a business. Even though the concept
of importing from the PRC to South Africa is often dismissed due to the apparent
complexities of the importing process, it is hoped this study will allay such fears. This
study will hopefully help those entrepreneurs to understand that it is not that
complicated a task to make one's business competitive via Chinese imports. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die politieke verhouding tussen die People's Republic of China (PRC) en Suid Afrika
het sedert die einde van die apartheidsera van krag tot krag gegroei. As gevolg van die
samewerking tussen die twee het invoere en uitvoere aansienlik gegroei. Met die
Sjinese markte nou oop vir Suid Afrikaners, word vervaardigde goedere ingevoer.
Die vervaardigings-aanlegte vaardighede in die PRC is baie meer gevorderd as dit in
Suid Afrika. Ongeag die struikelblokke vir invoer tussen die twee lande bv. taal,
kultuur verskille, geografiese ligging ens., het baie Suid Afrikaanse besighede gevind
dat produkte goedkoper ingevoer kan word as wat hulle dit plaaslik kan koop of
vervaardig. In die laaste paar jaar het meer en meer besighede vanaf die PRC ingevoer
wat daartoe gelei het dat baie beigheidseienaars die opsie oorweeg om vanaf die PRC
in te voer om sodoende meer kompeterend te wees.
Die navorsing spreek redes en noodsaaklikheid aan vir die invoer van vervaadigde
goedere vanaf die PRC na Suid Afrika. Die prosedure van invoer van die PRC word
ook deur die navorsing aangespreek. In geheel is die studie om die plaaslike
entrepreneur te help om meer kompeterend te word deur markneigings te verstaan. As
die kompeteerders self invoer, sal dit help om hulle meer kompeterend te maak.
Indien nie, sal die studie hulle die geleentheid gee om meer kompeterend te wees.
Ter afsluiting en om op te som, die invoer van goedere van die PRC na Suid Afrika
kan 'n positiewe uitwerking op die kompetisie tussen besighede he. Alhoewel die idee
van invoere van die PRC na Suid Afrika reeds baie afgewys is as gevolg van die
duidelike ingewikkelde invoerproses, sal die studie hopelik sulke vrese uit die weg
ruim. Die studie sal ook hopelik help om vir die entrepreneurs te laat verstaan dat so
'n gekompliseerde taak is om hul besigheid via Sjinese invoere kompeterend te maak
nie.

An analysis of the implementation of the South Africa-China bilateral agreement : a case study of the South African Agricultural Technology Demonstration CentreTshetlo, Piet Thabo 03 April 2014 (has links)
This research was based on the implementation analysis of the South Africa-China bilateral agreements, specifically the case of the South African Agricultural Technology Demonstration Centre (SAATDC).
In this regard, the researcher was of the view that, with implementation analysis, it is possible to identify the particular circumstances that could affect implementation of a particular policy, both in advance of a policy’s adoption or after it is implemented.
This research tracked the implementation of the SAATDC bilateral agreement to examine whether this bilateral agreement was effectively implemented or not. There is a need to translate political commitment into a practical programme for successful implementation. Implementation is one of the major problems confronting developing nations, of which South Africa is one.
Furthermore the researcher investigated whether the SAATDC bilateral agreement meets necessary pre-conditions of policy implementation, necessary for successful policy implementation, and examines whether these pre-conditions are adequately addressed in the bilateral policy document.Previous research has shown that once these preconditions are met, the potential for successful implementation of a policy increases.
There is a need in South Africa to fully exploit opportunities provided through similar Chinese aid projects for the benefit of local workers such as artisans, engineers and project managers by ensuring that bilateral agreements adequately address factors that could undermine South Africa’s ASGISA and JIPSA objectives regarding skills and technology transfer. It is important to investigate whether the bilateral agreement here makes sufficient provision for adequate involvement of South African engineers, artisans and South African companies in the implementation of such Chinese aid programmes or projects. There is a need to enhance the sophistication of local artisans and engineers as required by the ASGISA and JIPSA strategy and objectives. / Public Administration & Management / M. Admin.
