The purpose of this paper is to analyse the formation of Mongolia’s asymmetric interdependent relations with specific countries and its problems in terms of ‘sensitivity’ and ‘vulnerability’. Mongolia as a landlocked country borders on two powerful countries, China and Russia. It means that this geographical situation could make Mongolia expand interdependent relations with these countries. The expansion of interdependent relations could either increase cooperation between states or change power relations; however, the more essential point is these countries in interdependent relations have different sensitivity and vulnerability from the termination of interdependence. Mongolia since its independence has formed asymmetric interdependence with the Soviet Union. The termination of their interdependent relations due to the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in food security crisis in Mongolia. While Mongolia has endeavoured to diversify its economic relations, Mongolia’s dependence on China has deepened. In particular, the situation that 90% of Mongolia’s coal export which accounts for 40% of Mongolia’s total export goes to China means Mongolia’s sensitivity and vulnerability is high according to the change of their relations. Mongolia’s asymmetric interdependent relations indicate that China and the Soviet Union which are relatively less dependent could strengthen their power in their relations with Mongolia. This also means Mongolia’s policy autonomy could be limited. In addition, Mongolia which is relatively more dependent has high degree of sensitivity and vulnerability due to the termination of interdependent relations, which eventually cause economic damages and high costs to Mongolia. In this sense, Mongolia needs not only to consider how to convert its asymmetric interdependent relations into symmetric ones, but also to find a way to make a counterpart – for example, China – asymmetrically interdependent on Mongolia.

This study tried to define the characteristics of the Xi Jinping government through a review of the process of power consolidation. And to this end, this paper compared it with Mao Zedong, the only person in the history of CCP who built and actually operated a one-man-rule system. On this basis, this paper also tried to find answers to questions such as ‘Did Xi Jinping establish the one-man-rule system?’, ‘Is the collective leadership system still valid?’ which frequently appeared in recent years. There are many analyses of the president Xi Jinping and comparisons with his predecessor, Hu Jintao. However, there were no analyses that were compared to the president Mao Zedong. Therefore, this paper examined and compared the method of the power consolidation during the Mao Zedong government in Chapter 2 and the Xi Jinping government in Chapter 3. At the end, Chapter 4 summarized Chapter 2~3 and tried to present its own answers and implications to the above mentioned questions.

Is the world entering a new cold war? Analysts and officials in Washington are fretting over worsening tensions between the United States and China and the risks to the world of two superpowers once again clashing rather than cooperating. Trump administration’s China policy may be best described as the approach of a New Cold War. In contrast to the Cold War, however, the relationship between the United States and China is not a confrontation between two isolated opposing blocs, but a competition for influence within a globalized international system in which the two powers are highly intertwined economically. The US administration wanted to simplify the bilateral relationship by decoupling with China on all fronts. But that approach entails tremendous costs on both sides. American elites have realized that China is challenging American technological supremacy. The most important element of US-China competition globally is economics and economic capabilities, and not military power and military capabilities, which makes it different from the Cold War. It is by no means clear whether China will catch up or even overtake the United States economically and militarily at all and, if so, when. Chinese economic statistics are not reliable and projections of current trends problematic.

This paper empirically analyzes how the trade competitiveness of Korea and China has changed amid rapid changes in the international trade environment and order. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that the mutual dependence and complementary relationship between Korea and China was deepening. In particular, over the past 20 years, Korea and China have shown different competitiveness changes. It has been confirmed that, while Korea's comparative advantage over the world and China is generally weakening, China's comparative advantage over Korea and the world continues to rise. However, it was found that Korea's key export industries, such as electrical and electronic machinery, chemical products, and metal products, are gradually gaining a comparative advantage. In the same period, Korea's export competitiveness was generally lowered, while that of China was improving. By industry, it was observed that both Korea and China were relatively competitive in electrical and electronic machinery, chemical products, metal machinery, and general machinery. Based on the analysis results, this paper emphasizes that competition between Korea and China will intensify as the flow of free trade is greatly reduced due to the spread of protectionism in the future, and Korea raises the need for a more systematic export policy and strategy to China.

The untact period with coronavirus pandemic leads to a new leap of Taiwanese Tech firms. This study tried to address the competitive advantage of Taiwanese Tech firms, and paid attention to six Tech firms; Foxconn, Pegatron, TSMC, Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics and Wistron by tracing ‘Fortune Global 500’ ranking change since 2015. Firstly, this study analyzed the revenue and operating profit trend of them, and showed that why Foxconn and TSMC should be significantly managed as the head of Taiwanese Tech companies. Secondly, this study looked into the business structure and R&D point of Foxconn and TSMC to check major characteristics to be sources of competitive advantage. Thirdly, the sources of two generic business strategies, the cost leadership and differentiation, were examined through literature research about the business models, key success factors of Foxconn and TSMC. As a result, the competitive advantage of two firms is concerned with the fact that they accomplished both cost leadership and differentiation strategy simultaneously.

Administrative management is a subject which closely combines theories and practice. Since the 20th century, China's research on administrative management has advanced with the times and played a positive role in promoting national governance systems, modernizing governance capacity and constructing service-oriented government. Sampling the 1,233 papers researching administrative management published in the CSSCI in the database of CNKI, this paper did the study with Bibliometrics and content analysis. By studying the annual distribution of the sample, the principal periodical, the authors and their institutions, this paper mainly sort out the popular themes and the evolution of Chinese academic administration research, by applying CitespaceV. The analysis results show that the Chinese academics has apparently increased the research on the modernization and scientization of administrative management; the theoretical connotation and practical research of administrative management is insufficient; there is a trend exploring the development of administrative management under the new situations and circumstances.

The new Civil Servant Law (2019) has been in effect from June 1, 2019 and "parallel system of civil servant's position and rank" is the most important item in the new law. This system is to improve the promotion delay and low-level treatment of local front-line(grassroots) civil servants, which have been pointed out as problems in the China's public sector. It is characterized by abolishing non-leading posts and adopting a new concept of "rank" to solve the above problems. However, this system still has the following problems. First, it must have increased the possibility of promotion, but there is no essential difference between non-leading posts and rank. Secondly, in spite of the rank promotion, there is no change of the powers and the work-related treatment conferred on promoted civil servants. Thirdly, it is not clear how much of a role the rank can play in increasing wage level, and this system can cause a financial burden to local governments. By the way, this system is very important because it is related to increasing the efficiency and preventing the corruption of government, so it is necessary to continuously observe how the Chinese government operates the system while supplementing these problems in the future.

As competition intensifies due to slowing growth in the Chinese game market and the government's tightening of regulations, more and more Chinese game companies are turning to overseas markets. Among them, some emerging Chinese game companies have recently attracted attention with explosive growth in the global market. Their business model and overseas expansion strategies show very different characteristics. ‘miHoYo’, a Chinese company that has recently been in the spotlight in the global game market, was selected as the subject of this study. In this paper, we analyzed in-depth in its major management strategies and business models. Its internal competitiveness and external environment were evaluated through SWOT analysis. The results show that miHoYo’s multi-platform strategy, high-level production technology, effective global marketing capabilities and reasonable profit models can be seen as key successful factors, but there are also problems such as few varieties of products, lack of international management experience, and imitation. The rapid growth of overseas ACGN markets and new technologies provide many opportunities, but miHoYo is also facing challenges due to tightening regulations and anti-China sentiment in overseas markets. These findings provide meaningful references for the companies concerned in developing their internationalization strategies.
