In light of the major financial crisis in July 1999, Midland China got to realize a fact that it would lead to an unbalanced industrial structure if she kept on nourishing big enterprises, and ignored smaller ones. As a result in beginning of year 1998, she started to concentrate on small and medium size companies by adapting methods like reforming medium, and small size private businesses, improving investment environments, upgrading professional skills, and adapting innovations. Now medium, and small business sectors are new economy forces. The goal of the thesis is to understand China private sectors from different aspects. It seems that China private sectors could properly react to the open market after China joined WTO. How would entrepreneurs from Taiwan face the challenges from these sectors? Medium, and small size companies could take advantage of lower labor costs in China, and sell products to China market or export to foreign counties.

After 1949 the Chinese Communist Party takes power of People¡¦s Republic of China, Mao Ze Dong had said ¡G¡§Women can hold the half sky¡¨ and since then the gender relationship had changed. Under many movements, women of China move toward society and participate in work. The government promotes sexual equality and appeal women to participate in movements. To understand women of China in political status, this study takes the historical viewpoint and other aspects to judge women of China including laws, parties, basic levels, legislative assemblies, policy-making bodies, political consciousness, and international statistical data. Finally the study compares the women of cross-straits in order to judge women of China in political status. Actually China doesn¡¦t regard Women's Liberation as its top priority, but it helps to promote women in social status by economic reform, laws, advocating the sexual equality and so on. The political status of women has changed by the women's liberation movement which is acted form down to top. In China, women¡¦s political status is related to the state policies closely which means when the Party needed women to pursue social economics transformation, it emphasized role of woman in official and encouraged women to become the leading cadres. Therefore, it promotes women representative proportions in politics. But when the political needs decline or economic structure faces to be adjusted, the Party brings pressure to make women movements decline.

The methodology applied to the study is based on mass data collected from secondary market. Through analyzing four aspects which include the developing situation of foreign banks in Mainland China (including case study of two foreign banks),the general situation of target customers (Taiwanese Companies) for Taiwanese banks, the financial contact between Taiwanese Banks and Mainland China (including the standpoints of primary Taiwanese Banks about how to enter China market), and the regulations of Cross Strait governments, referring to theses about how Taiwanese Banks getting into Mainland China, and also combing the SWOT analysis of Taiwanese banks, the study proposes the suggestions about target market, market position, distribution strategy, product and service strategy, and the direction of business cooperation which hopefully can be referable for the entry strategy of Taiwanese Banks in Mainland China.

Abstract Since the reform and open policy makes national and society's separation in Mainland China, the society gradually retrieves the independency which formerly lost, and the state can control the scope gradually reduces. The society thus appears many spaces, and appears many emerging social stratum. That creates the social mobility. At the same time, the society inequalities also gradually expand. How does the social independent strength will have any type influence to Mainland China political development? First, we discuss the relations by three stages of the social stratification and Mainland China political development. The first stage (1949~1978) is the inner-party conflict of authority expands for the social conflict. The second stage (1978~1992) is the reform and open policy creates the social mobility. After the third stage (1992~2002) is the Post-Deng time, the Chinese Communist Party long-term being in power creates each kind of society inequalities. Second, we discuss the impact of the social stratification on the political development in Mainland China. This is main core in this paper, the impact includes: To change of the ideology, and to change of the Chinese Communist party physique, and the interest-politics are formation. All of these influence contain, the obverse and the negative impact. Finally, we will according to these influences to extrapolate the future direction of Mainland China political development.

Objective. Guided by Pearlin's stress process model, this study explored the health of the adult children caregivers for older adults in mainland China. Methods. Data were from a nationally representative sample of respondents aged 45+ (N=13,204) who participated in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study Wave 2 (2013). Using logistic regression techniques, the first analysis focused on the relationship between caregiver status and social determinants of health and health disparities. For the second analysis, the moderating effect of employment status on caregiving time and depressive symptoms among 1,082 adult children caregivers was examined using multiple linear regression. Results. Adult children who were women, urban residents, younger, married, and had high school or more education were more likely to be caregivers than non-caregivers. Caregivers were more likely to live alone or live in three generation households and report fewer difficulties with physical functions compared to non-caregivers. Among caregivers, adult children who spent more hours providing care were more likely to experience more depressive symptoms as were adult children who were working outside of the home. The effect of caregiving time on depressive symptoms was moderated by employment status and gender. Unemployed men caregivers who spent more hours providing care reported the most depressive symptoms. Conversely, unemployed men caregivers who spent fewer hours providing care reported lowest level of depressive symptoms. / Ph. D.

Taiwan¡¦s mango peasants and industries can gain from trade, especially by exporting high-quality mangos to high-income countries of the world ( like Japan ). But there are still some Taiwanese mango peasants who suffer from low bargaining power in a nearly perfectly competitive market and the downward trend of market prices. By interviewing peasants and middlemen about marketing channels of mangos of Yujing Township in Tainan County, I found the following aspects as crucial for a high-profit marketing of mango: agricultural technology, grading and packaging, quality control and logistical conditions as well as a better interaction between peasants, farmers¡¦ associations, enterprises and governmental institutions. Thus, I consider using markets segmentation as a good strategy in order to increase the competitiveness of agricultural products and lower nontariff trade barriers, therefore help raising peasants¡¦ bargaining power and solute the problem of downward trend of market prices. Markets segmentation is a term used in order to describe the segmentation of agricultural products according to their characteristics. The four aspects mentioned above make the markets segmentation efficient. Good interactions between peasants, farmers¡¦ associations, enterprises and governmental institutions can facilitate the operation in the marketing system and thus increase the value of agricultural products. This study also inspires China¡¦s peasants as well as makes China government the scholar who research problems about agriculture, rural areas and peasantry understand the problems of Mainland China¡¦s agricultural products marketing.
