Acknowledgements

As always, we offer our grateful thanks to the many individual authors whose collective contributions have made this wide- ranging compendium possible. Most are listed individually in the Contents list at the front of the book and all their names and contact details are listed in Appendix I “ Contributors Contact List, at the end of the book. However, particular words of appreciation are due to our colleague, Professor Liu Baocheng of the University of International Business and Economics, Beijing, who has contributed chapters on a variety of topics throughout the book, and also to Chen Duo, Deputy Director General of Hong Kong & Macao Research Institute who provided the profiles of the two SARs in Part VII. We also owe special thanks to Ms Long Miao of China Import and Export Bank and Ms Pang Kuixia of China Securities Regulatory Commission for their efforts in contributing two insightful chapters on behalf of their respective organisations.
