Strategic space: exclusion and inclusion in wildland policies in Late Imperial China
Article Abstract:
Chinese officials of the late imperial period followed policies of inclusion and exclusion when dealing with the issue of wasteland management. Policies of inclusion were followed in the case of the northern borders or in areas where rebellions had taken place, where military settlements were organized; in areas where minorities predominated, such as the hills of Southern China; and crown land, which provided areas for settlement. Policies of exclusion were followed in the northeastern provinces in general and the Mulan Imperial Hunting Preserve, an important ritual hunting ground.

China's new remembering of World War II: the case of Zhang Zizhong
Article Abstract:
The role of patriots such as General Zhang Zizhong in the Second World War can fortify China's sense of national identity. The People's Republic of China is currently attempting to reconstruct its national image, and what the Chinese call the War of Resistance against Japan could be a rich source of cultural pride. However, Mao Zedong's policy in that war was to permit Japanese troops to attack Nationalists and leave the Communists alone. Zhang Zizhong's heroic image, denigrated at mid-century, is being revived.

War in the making of modern China
Article Abstract:
War in China has often been one of the powerful forces creating history, so studying Chinese war opens paths into China's past. War studies include analysis of tactics, weapons and movement, but should not be limited to these elements. Warfare and battles always take place within demographic, technological and commercial contexts. War helps shape many social and political entities, from the nation to the family. The effect of war on Chinese history is in the early stages of exploration.
