Abstract: This article revisits the Canada–China grain trade history in the early 1960s to shed light on the bilateral tensions which have been escalating in the past few years, even before the breakout of the current global pandemic of COVID-19. To examine how the status quo has deviated contentiously from the right track, it is worth recalling the origins of stories and events, mainly overlooked in early narratives, in the history of Canada–China relations. Canadian scholars, in emphasising the political context, described this case as Canada's adjustment of its foreign policy for trade freedom and independent national identity, as Canada was encountering limitations in the Canada–US alliance during the Cold War.1 On the ...

Abstract: Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, close to 800 million people in China have been lifted out of absolute poverty, contributing to close to 75 per cent of the world's poverty reduction.1 However, China's absolute poverty line2 is lower than that set by the World Bank.3 If the World Bank's corresponding poverty line were used as the standard, many people would still be estimated to be poor in China, an upper-middle-income country. Poor families in China usually have low levels of education and lack the ability to improve their skills and make a better living. Many families continue the cycle of passing poverty to their children, therefore causing intergenerational transmission. Human capital investment ... Read More

Abstract: With the world entering the fourth year of COVID-19, countries around the globe have begun to scrap a series of heavy-handed measures adopted during the early stage of this unprecedented pandemic.1 In many Anglo-Saxon and European states, the governments ended the imposition of public health orders and lockdowns and relaxed the policies that minimise physical distance and restrict citizen movement as the population had attained the rate of vaccination and increased the level of immunity.2 In East Asia, following three years of adherence to its dynamic zero-COVID strategy, China has also embarked on easing most of the anti-virus controls to accommodate the notion of COVID-19 as endemic. On 7 December 2022, China's ... Read More

Abstract: The intensifying US–China strategic competition in terms of trade, technological supremacy and geopolitical influence has rapidly turned into a contest of strategic discourse, the "linguistic practices through which a nation's security policy is represented".1 The Communist Party of China's (CPC) ambitions to enhance its discursive power reflect its determination to shape global governance agendas, provide public goods and create a favourable international public opinion environment. Backed by the rigid communist ideology, a massive propaganda machine and censorship apparatus, CPC General Secretary Xi Jinping adopted incremental steps on multiple fronts to "safeguard the party's authority", including the ...

Abstract: Hong Kong, an administrative region of China adjacent to Guangdong province and consisting of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, was occupied by the British from the mid-19th century until it was officially returned to China in 1997. The Communist Party of China (CPC), established in 1921, has always maintained close ties with Hong Kong. The first Party member commissioned to work in Hong Kong was Deng Zhongxia, who also participated in the 1922 Canton–Hong Kong strike.1 Since the handover to China, the Hong Kong people, however, have come to distrust Beijing.2Most academic studies on the relationship between mainland China and Hong Kong focus on state–society relations. For example, scholars have ... Read More

Abstract: With unofficial relations between the United States and Taiwan reaching milestones amid souring US–China relations during Donald Trump's presidency, Taiwan has gained ample influence in Washington, DC and received renewed attention. The United States is Taiwan's closest ally, although the United States derecognised Taiwan's government, the Republic of China, in favour of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1979. Under the Taiwan Relations Act, the United States provides Taiwan with defensive armaments, maintains deterrence through strategic ambiguity and supports Taiwanese participation in international organisations. Constrained by its lack of diplomatic recognition and restricted participation in such ... Read More

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is currently the most serious public health event globally. The pandemic, caused by an infectious disease known as the SARS-CoV-2 virus or coronavirus, is highly contagious and difficult to control, leading to severe social, economic and political problems on a global scale. COVID-19 vaccines are now the most effective weapon to deal with the spread of the pandemic, but the emergence of "vaccine nationalism" has hindered the equitable global distribution of vaccines, and delayed the prevention and control efficiency of the pandemic. On 21 May 2021, Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the Global Health Summit that "[i]t is imperative for us to reject vaccine nationalism ... Read More

Abstract: Garnering wide attention in China and worldwide, Chinese President Xi Jinping's flagship Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has now reached its 11th year. Beijing staged the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in early 2019 as a national event to demonstrate the vitality of the BRI.1 While the first forum focused on maximising economic benefits to countries involved, the second forum emphasised increasing transparency and improving risk management for BRI projects. Xi chaired the forum, which hosted hundreds of high-profile international guests from 126 countries and 29 international organisations. Higher attendance at the second forum—an increase of eight more heads of state and 25 more ... Read More
