Abstract: The European Union's (EU) contemporary strategic engagement with China has evolved to factor closely aligned, mutual objectives. The EU's 2019 Strategic Outlook, endorsed by all EU member states, acknowledges that China is "simultaneously a negotiating partner…[with] whom the EU needs to find a balance of interests", "an economic competitor" and a "systemic rival promoting alternative models of governance".Such a characterisation has only intensified in the background of Beijing's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the the perception within EU circles of China's poor reliability as a crisis actor.1 A similar, negative-oriented perception of China arises within the EU due to the ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict ...

Abstract: A strong financial environment is crucial not only for a country's economic growth, but also for the international competitiveness of its businesses. The level of support from the financial sector is a critical factor in the success of businesses in the global market. Exporting firms, in particular, require reliable financial support when entering new foreign markets or expanding their presence in existing ones. The availability and accessibility of external funding are essential determinants of a firm's export performance. The level of development of a region's banking sector is an essential indicator of the financing environment available to local businesses. This is especially relevant in China, where the ...

Abstract: To forecast general economic stability, it is crucial to analyse elements of political power, global economics and international trade. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, political tensions between major trading partners have significantly impacted global trade while threatening fragile financial markets. Meanwhile, political tensions between the Group of Two (G2) countries have continued to increase, especially in recent years. Hence, assessing and quantifying the impacts of such geopolitical uncertainty on global trade are key to understanding the dynamics. A spike in political tensions could presumably decrease global trade activities, due largely to the increased uncertainty. Obviously, the growth of China's economy ...

Abstract: Since worker-driven labour unrest has increased steadily, the Chinese authorities recognise the positive significance of continuously improving multiple labour dispute resolution mechanisms to promote the modernisation of the national governance system and to consolidate the governance base of the Communist Party of China (CPC).1 As a result, China has devoted significant attention to resolving collective labour disputes by promoting mediation, top-down unionism and state-led collective bargaining, among other means, to mitigate workers' collective actions.2 However, these measures have not served to maintain social stability.3After Chinese President Xi Jinping came to power in 2013, he explicitly promoted several ...

Abstract: The state–society relationship is both an old and a new topic for China specialists. Compared with the older generation of China experts that focused mostly on state penetration and control, the new generation distinguishes itself by rejecting both the totalitarianism model and various brands of pluralism and embracing a more dynamic framework.1 The new generation gradually takes a more balanced view and regards society as a collaborator in the relationship.2 Government responsiveness to social demands therefore becomes an important topic, whose implications for democratisation are reflected in Dahl's statement that "a key characteristic of democracy is the continuing responsiveness of the government to the ...

Abstract: Since the Chinese government's industrial reforms in the mid-1990s, the Chinese film industry has adopted a complex and sophisticated approach towards commercialisation.1 A notable example is the success of China's first 3D animated film, Nezha, which was released in July 2019 and became the second highest-grossing film of all time in China. Nezha surpassed even the most popular Hollywood animated film, Zootopia, which was released in 2016. Such commercial success for Chinese films was inconceivable in the early 1990s, when the film industry was on the verge of bankruptcy and served primarily as a tool for propaganda rather than as a source of entertainment.2The significant growth of the Chinese film industry can ...

Abstract: The internet is a fundamental site where observations of the state–society relationship in China can be made. This article focuses on the Chinese government's process of guiding young netizens' public opinions, which is one of the most important approaches employed for internet governance. The article examines the means by which the Chinese government guides such opinions and what factors influence this process (but does not investigate the effect).It was initially believed that the internet could provide technical conditions to cultivate a certain type of civil society. Yang developed the concept of "online activism" in his work The Power of the Internet in China: Citizen Activism Online, to describe how Chinese ... Read More PubDate: 2023-08-26T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: China is leading the way among major economies in trialling central bank digital currency (CBDC). Since April 2020, it has launched large-scale pilots of its digital currency electronic payment (DC/EP) in various Chinese cities to test the digital yuan or renminbi (e-CNY or shuzi renminbi) for retail use by the general public. Some cities, supported by local governments, distributed "red packets" of e-CNY to consumers. By the end of December 2021, 261 million individual users (about one-fifth of the population) had set up e-CNY wallets and RMB87.5 billion (U$13.78 billion) worth of transactions had been made using the digital fiat currency.1 The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was the digital currency's largest pilot ...

Abstract: Residential segregation remains a persistent issue in many countries, as noted at the HABITAT III conference in 2016. Such segregation presents a great variety of patterns and contextual trends in different regions. As in most countries and regions, income-based segregation is widespread also in China. Numerous luxury residential communities gradually became "rich areas", and some places with poor living conditions and environments gradually become aggregation areas for low-income groups. The urban–rural fringe and the "village in the city" have become agglomerations of floating populations. In contrast to other countries and regions, China's unique hukou system affects residential segregation. Hukou is a household ... Read More PubDate: 2023-08-26T00:00:00-05:00
